(课件网) UNIT 4 HISTORY AND TRADITIONS (主题语境：人与社会———历史) 晨背短文 语境记词 When studying in the United Kingdom，I was no longer puzzled about when England got Wales，Scotland and Ireland joined to it or when the southern part of Ireland broke away from it.The four countries belonging to the UK use the same currency and military defence，but they have different legal systems.I saw much evidence that showed the Romans，the Vikings as well as the Normans invaded and conquered the Great Britain, leaving their so-called achievements and influencing the names of locations and vocabulary.There were many fascinating places, so I had to keep my eyes open.Later I travelled to Ireland where I found myself fascinated by the landscape.It was a feast for my eyes as if I were approaching a gallery in which I was surrounded with beautiful pictures.Every day I was greeted with the rolling mountains dotted with sheep and cattle，the roar of the ocean and the scent of flowers.I often had a sip of wine or beer in nearby pubs which charged a small amount of money for their service.Once I talked about their customs with a crowd of Irish people who were interested in our Confucius philosophy，poems created by poets in the Tang Dynasty and our ancestors' chief achievements.They were generous and shared with me a snack cooked with butter and honey and a mouth-watering stew.The journey was so striking that I'm eager to go there again. 必备知识 巧记活用 阅读词汇会认 1．cemetery n._____ 2．philosophy n. _____ 3．descendant n. _____ 4．heel n. _____ 5．Achilles' heel _____ 6．kingdom n. _____ 7．currency n. _____ 墓地；公墓 哲学 后裔；后代；子孙 足跟；(脚、袜子、鞋等的)后跟 (喻)(希腊神话)阿喀琉斯的脚跟，致命的弱点 王国；领域 通货；货币 8．military adj. _____ 9．landscape n. _____ 10．ancestor n. _____ 11．courtyard n. _____ 12．cattle n. _____ 13．scent n. _____ 14．stew n. _____vt.& vi. _____ 15．sensory adj. _____ 16．transition n. _____ 17．Roman adj. _____ n. _____ 军事的；军用的 (陆上，尤指乡村的)风景 祖宗；祖先 庭院；院子 牛 气味；气息 炖菜(有肉和蔬菜) 炖；煨 感觉的；感官的 过渡；转变；变迁 古罗马的；罗马的 古罗马人；罗马市民 重点词汇会写 1．_____ n．孔子 2．_____ adj.单独的；个别的 n．个人 3．_____ adj.最重要的；最高级别的 n．(公司或机构的)首领；酋长 4．_____ adj.附近的；邻近的 adv.在附近 5．_____ vt.占领；征服；控制 6．_____ n．战役；搏斗 vi.& vt.搏斗；奋斗 7．_____ n．港口(城市) Confucius individual chief nearby conquer battle port 8．_____ n．收费；指控；主管 vt.收费；控告；充电 9．_____ n．金额；数量 10．_____ n．(艺术作品的)展览馆；画廊 11．_____ n．方法；途径；接近 vt.接近；接洽；着手处理 vi.靠近 12．_____ vt.保证；确保；担保 13．_____ n．黄油；奶油 vt.涂黄油于 14．_____ n．蜂蜜 15．_____ n．位置；姿态；职位 charge amount gallery approach ensure butter honey position 16．_____ n．点心；小吃 17．_____ n．(英国、爱尔兰的)郡；(美国的)县 18．_____ n．盛宴；宴会；节日 19．_____ vi.& vt.(使)翻滚；( ... ...
