新概念青少版2A-unit13-25--The-Kalenjin

unit13----lesson25TheKalenjin•卡兰津人Kalenjin此名用以指南迪人(Nandi)、基普西基人(Kipsigi)、苏克人(Suk,波科特人〔Pokot〕)、塔托加人(Tatoga)及其他有亲缘关系的诸民族，他们居住在肯亚中西部、坦尚尼亚北部和乌干达，操尼罗-撒哈拉语系沙里-尼罗语支的东苏丹诸语言(亦称卡兰津语)，主要以农业为生。为什么Kalenjin跑步跑得那么快？•卡兰津人基本是地处高原，高原练习长跑更有效率，国家也会组织运动员去高原特训的，在跑步方面，高原选手比平原选手更有优势。•曾有研究者对卡兰津人所居住的环境进行了研究，研究认为，卡兰津人长期生活在海拔2000米以上的高原地区。这种缺氧的环境可以增加人体本身携氧的红血球数量。研究者通过比较研究还发现，卡兰津人比其他地区的肯尼亚人更具有运动天赋。Newwordsandexpressions['rekɔ:d][win]['winə]['distəns][reis]['træk][ə'mʌŋ][sta:]['bɔ:də]['həumlænd]winwinnerdistanceraceamongstarborderrecordhomelandtrackTheyarewinners.racetrackstarMusicstarrockstarJayZhouisamusicstar.Chinaisourhomeland/motherland.Englandisherhomeland.northsouthwesteastnorthwestnortheastsoutheastsouthwestQinghai-Tibetplateau['plætəu]metre/meter['mi:tə]eg:Thisruleris2metres.Thisroadisabout500metres.above[ə'bʌv]在.....之上,超出eg:Today'stemperatureisabovezero.sealevel[¸si:'levəl]海平面nature['neitʃə]自然natural['nætʃərəl]自然的athlete['æθli:t]Liuxiangisagoodathlete.Guojingjingisanathlete,too.Theyareathletes.hundredhundredsofthousandthousandsofmillion['miljən]millionsof300threehundred3,000threethousand3,000,000threemillionTakealookattherecordofinternationalrunningeventsinlastfifteenyears.•Takealookat—take祈使语气•therecordofinternationalrunningevents——这里使用定冠词是因为records受后面的of短语限制；runningevents：复合名词（第一个词告诉我们是哪一种赛事）•inlastfifteenyears——in表示在一段时间内，即“thefiftyyearsuptothepresent”•Before1980,thewinnerofdistanceraceswereusuallyfromNorthAmericaandEurope.Thereweresomewinnerfromothercountries,butthereweren’tverymanyofthem..Before1980——时间短语，由介词+某一时间构成，用于主语之前或动词短语之后。•thewinnerofdistanceraces——the用法同上。distanceraces复合名词那类赛跑•Were——一般过去式be动词复数形式。•Therewere——表示‘有’或‘存在’。Thereweren’t——‘不存在’‘没有’TherewerenoAfricannamesamongthewinnersthen,butthingsareverydifferentnow•noAfricannames=notanyAfricannames•Amongthewinners——among（在中间）+复数名词，用于二者以上的比较，between•Then=atthattime•Things——零冠词，泛指•verydifferent——形容词作补语Today,thestarsoftheracetrackaretheKalenjin.ThekalenjinareanAfricanpeoplefromthebordersofNorthWestKenyaandEthiopia.Theirhomelandishot,dryplateau,about2,500metresabovesealevel.Thesepeopleareusuallynaturalathletes.Theyhavelong,thinlegs.Theirheartrateisunusuallyslow.Thereareonlythreemillionofthem.Twelveoftheworld’stoptwentymarathonrunnersarenowKalenjin.Everyyear,theywin40percentofthetophonoursinallinternationaldistanceraces.Andit’snotjustthemen.Afewyearsago,thereweren’tanydistanceracesforwomen.Thesedays,therearelotsofthem.Kalenjinwomenwinalltheireventsaswell.ModelsTheKalenjincanbreaktherecord.Theyarewinners.Theyarethestarsoftheracetrack.Theyarenaturalathletes.Theylovetheirhomeland.Itisahot,dryplateau.UnderstandingTakealookatthe(记录）ofinternationalrunningeventsinthelastfiftyyears.Before1980,the(获胜者）ofdistanceraceswereusuallyfromNorthAmericanandEurope.Thereweresomewinnersfromeothercountries,butthereweren'tverymanyofthem.TherewerenoAfricannames(在....之中)thewinnersthen,butthingsareverydifferentnow.recordswinnersamongQuestionone:Thereweresomewinnersfromothercountries,weren'tthere?Questiontwo:ButtherewerenoAfricannamesamongthewinners,werethere?Today,the(明星）ofthe（跑道）aretheKalenjin.starsracetrackTheKalenjinareanAfricanpeoplefromthe（边界）of(西北部）KenyaandEthiopia.bordersNorthWestTheir（祖国，家乡）isahot,dry（高原）about2,500（米，公尺）（在...之上）sealevel.homelandplateaumetersaboveThesepeopleare（自然的，天生的）（运动员）.naturalathletesTheyhavelong,thinlegs.Theirheartrateis（不寻常的，不一样的）slow.unusuallyThereareonlythree（百万）ofthem.millionQuestionthree:TheKalenjinarefromKenyaandEthiopia,aren'tthey?Questionfour:Theirhomelandisabout2,500meersabovesealevel,isn'tit?Twelveoftheworld'stoptwentymarathonrunnersarenowKalenjin.Everyyear,theywin40percentofthetop（荣誉）inallinternationaldistanceraces.honoursAndit'snotjustthemen.GoodQuestionfive:Theywinalotofthetophonoursininternationaldistanceraces,don'tthey?Afewyearsago,thereweren'tanydistanceracesforwomen.Thesedays,therearelotsofthem.Kalenjinwomenwinalltheireventsaswell.Questionsix:Afewyearsago,thereweren'tanydistanceracesforwomen,werethere?afew少数，几个（修饰可数名词）eg:afewdaysafewyearsafewapplesalotof=lotsof许多，大量（修饰可数名词、不可数名词）eg:alotofapplesalotofcoffeealotofricealotofpensSummaryTherewerenoAfricannamesbefore1980.Buttoday,thestarsoftheracetrackaretheKalenjin.TheKalenjinareanAfricanpeople.Theyhavelong,thinlegs.Theirheartrateisunusuallyslow.Twelveoftheworld'stoptwentymarathonrunnersarenowKalenjin.Nowadays,therearemanyKalenjinwomenintherace.snow/snəu/ice/ais/hill/hil/lake/leik/sheep/ʃi:p/reservoir/'rezəvwɑ:/programmeblockofflatsnone/nʌn/没有任何东西，没有人eg:Weretherestudentsintheclassroom?Therewerenone.Wasthereanysnowonthehill?Therewasnone.reservoir/'rezəvwa:/水库programme/program/'prəugræm/节目blockofflats一栋公寓陈述句（statements)一般疑问句（SimpleQuestions)特殊疑问句（wh---questions)Therewassomesnowonthehillslastmonth.Wasthereanysnowonthehillslastmonth?HowmuchsnowwasthereinLondonlastyear?反义疑问句（Tag—Questions)Therewasn’tanysnowlastyear,wasthere?Some用于肯定句any用于否定句及疑问句句型1A:Wasthereanysnowonthehillslastmonth?B:No,therewasn’t.A:Isthereanythismonth?B:Yes,thereis.snowonthehills/thismonth(lastmonth)句型3：A：Therewasnosnowonthehil
