Passage 1:

很多人认为苏格兰是英格兰的一部分。但是，任何一个苏格兰人都会告诉你：并不是这样的。其实，在18世纪以前，苏格兰一直是一个独立的国家，有自己的国会。//

几百年来，英格兰人多次企图把苏格兰置于自己的统治之下。他们终于在1707年成

功了。为此，一些苏格兰人永远不会原谅他们。//

苏格兰现在由伦敦统治，但是在某些方面，仍然是一个独立的国家。它有自己的首都（爱丁堡）、自己的法津、自己的邮票。它甚至还有自己的语言，不过只是几个小岛上的少数人使用。//

在某些方面，苏格兰南部同英格兰很相似，有肥沃的农田和绿色的小山丘。但在苏格兰的中部和北部，有高耸的大山，深邃的山谷，湍急的河流和冰冷的湖泊。//

Passage 2:

欢迎来到世界第一座国家公园，美国的黄石公园！在这个人间仙境里，大自然呈现着壮观的景色。大家看！温泉展现出蓝、黄、橙等艳丽的色彩。地球上再也找不到任何地方可与此地相媲美。//

科学家探险队在1870和1871年来到怀俄明州西北角的这块地方。目睹此地奇景的人意识到保护美景的必要。通过他们的努力，黄石国家公园终于于1872年诞生。//

温泉区是这个国家公园的特色。虽然新西兰和冰岛也有温泉，但是黄石公园的温泉数比全世界其他地区加起来的总数还要多。//

整个公园布满了200多个温泉及一万多个温泉景观。今天，所有这些都受到保护。公园不允许游客偏离步道或触摸温泉景观。//

Passage 1:

现在我们谈美国之行的最后一部分——住宿。在美旅游时，找个地方住并不难，难的是找一个称心如意、价格合适的住所。//

如乘飞机前往，你会在机场看到许多宾馆的广告。如坐火车或驾车，你最好查询电话本（黄页）中的旅馆、汽车旅馆和公寓房栏目。//

住所可分为宾馆、汽车旅馆和度假村。宾馆舒适但价格昂贵。汽车旅馆通常邻近公路。度假村则位于山间、海边或邻近湖泊。//

至于住在哪儿，你得从广告中所提供的价格和服务的比较着手。在这种情况下，你还得打电话询问他们是否有你需要的房间。//

Passage 2:

欢迎光临巴塞罗纳。想到西班牙，你的脑海中会浮现出什么呢？美食佳肴？了不起的艺术及建筑？精彩的夜生活？//

这一切都可以在巴塞罗纳找到——而且还不只如此！这座城市的建筑物及教堂将会最先吸引你的注意力。巴塞罗纳是“现代主义”建筑风格的领袖。//

100多年来，西班牙建筑师使用自然主题及形状设计建筑物。他们以野生动物、水果及花朵装饰建筑物门面。//

巴塞罗纳比世界上任何其他城市有更多这样的建筑物。想要体验“现代主义”建筑，就要到黄金广场，这个地区有此风格中最具代表性的建筑物。//

Passage 1:

41．Seattle is famous for its damp weather and its own rainforest.Seattleites will say they like how rain keeps the city green,how clean the air tastes afterwards.//

The sunny,gorgeous weather and blue skies draw Seattleites from their cozy little homes,ready to dry out and have fun.People go hiking,biking,and canoeing.//

Folks work in their gardens,wash their cars and attend outdoor concerts in the park—all in the same day!//

People host barbecues and picnics and water-skiing parties.It’s sin around here to not thoroughly enjoy every moment of every golden day.//

Passage 2:

Have you ever been to the Grand Gorge in New York State?Today I’d like to show you around there.It’s magnificent,with sheer sandstone rising 550 feet;three gushing falls,one over a hundred feet high;river rafting.//

Some 70 miles of hiking trails that can be used for skiing when blanketed with snow;and a forest that harbors nearly every species of eastern North American trees,several specied of wild orchids and a variety of birds.//

The place is the so-called “Canyons of the East”,a 17-mile gorge cut by the Genesee River on its way north to Lake Ontario.Although overshadowed by New York’s another wonder,Niagara Falls,60 miles to the northwest,the 14,350-acre preserve has noteworthy attractions.//

In addition to a series of three talls that stair-step downriver and provide much of the gorge’s usual drama,there are striking rock formations.//

Passage 1:

西雅图以潮湿的气候及其雨林而闻名。西雅图人说他们喜欢雨水使城市常青，喜欢雨后清新的空气。//

睛朗、灿烂的天气和碧蓝的天空把西雅图人从舒适的小屋子里拽出来，准备晒太阳和玩乐。人们去远足、骑自行车、划独木舟。//

人们在园子里干活，洗车，参加公园里的露天音乐会——全在同一天里完成！//

人们举办户外烧烤、野餐、滑水聚会等活动。在这儿，不好好享受美好一天的每一时刻是一种罪过。//

Passage 2:

你到过纽约州大峡谷吗？今天我想请你到那里一游。它的确非常壮观，两岸耸立着550英尺高的砂岩峭壁；三个瀑布奔流直下，其中一个超过100英尺高；木筏在水上漂流；//

约70英里的步行小道，在被大雪覆盖时，又可供滑雪使用；还有一片森林，里面北美洲东部的所有树种在那里几乎应有尽有，还有若干种野兰花和各种各样的鸟。//

这里就是所谓“东部大峡谷”——杰纳西河在向北流入安大略湖的途中形成一条17英里长的峡谷的所在地。尽管其西北60英里处纽约州的另一个奇观——尼亚加拉瀑布使它相形见绌，但这个占地14，350英亩的自然保护区有它吸引游人之处。//

除了三个呈阶梯式分布的瀑布和峡谷所呈现出的丰富自然景观外，还有令人叹为观止的岩石构造。//

Passage 1:

女士们、先生们，请跟我看黄石公园最壮观的景色之一：黄石公园大峡谷。大峡谷长37公里，深366米。你可看到黄石河穿梭在色彩缤纷的峡谷中。//

在峡谷的北面和南面，可观赏到截然不同的景色。你可以拍摄黄石公园壮丽的“下瀑布”。如果做好了运动的准备，可沿着小道往下走到瀑布底端。然后往上观看看倾泻而下的流水。//

峡谷南端是黄石湖，乃全世界最大淡水湖之一。不要去游泳，水太冷了！但是可以由“钓鱼桥”搭船游湖。慢慢地走走看看。在温泉区悠闲散步；//

在溪河旁寻找野生动物的踪迹；在大树下野餐；听野生动物的怒吼声；感觉溅在脸上的水花。公园为大家的福利及乐趣而建。祝大家玩得开心。//

Passage 2:

35当初，中国人刚刚知道远隔太平洋的彼岸有一个国家叫美利坚时，就给她起了一个最好的中国式的名字——美国，意思是“美丽的国度”。//

这样一个好名字，会使一个不了解美国的中国人对她也自然地产生好感。//

中国人熟知乔治·华盛顿、托马斯·杰斐逊和亚伯拉罕·林肯，也熟知独立战争、南北战

争、珍珠港事件和美国人在二战中的杰出贡献。//

然而，考虑到朝鲜战争、越南战争，1972年中美上海联合公报等历史事件，中国人对美国的看法比对任何一个西方国家都显得更为复杂和富有变化。//

Passage 1:

Ladies and gentlemen,please follow me to one of the most spectacular sights of Yellowstone Park:the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.It’s 37km long and 366 meters deep.You’ll see Yellowstone River winding through the colorful canyou.//

Stop on both the south and north sides for different views.You may take pictures of Yellowstone’s magnificent Lower Falls.Or if you’re ready for some exercise,walk down the trail that leads to the bottom of the falls.Then look up at the plunging water.//

South of the canyou lies Yellowstone Lake,one of the world’s largest freshwater lakes.Don’t plan on going for a dip—the water is too cold!But from Fishing Bridge you can take a boat excursion on the lake.Take your time exploring the park.Walk around the thermal areas.//

Look for wildlife along rivers and streams.Have a picnic under a big tree.Listen to the wild roar and feel the spray on your face.The park was created for the benefit and enjoyment of all.Have a good time.//

Passage 2:

When the Chinese first came to know that there was a country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean called the United States of America,they named it “Mei Guo”in Chinese,which literally means “beautiful country”.//

A Chinese who happens to hear this name would have a positive image of America,even though he or she might have little knowledge of the country.//

Since then,Chinese have become familiar with George

Washington,Thomas Jefferson,and Abraham Lincoln,and with the American Revolution,the Civil War,the Pearl Harbor Incident and the outstanding service and sacrifice of the American people during the Second World War.//

However,compared to other Western countries,Chinese images of the United States have shown greater complexity and inconsistency,in light of historical events such as the Korean War,the Vietnam War,and the Sino-US Shanghai Joint Communique in 1972.//
