致同学
亲爱的同学：
欢迎与我们一起继续初中阶段的英语学习！
在接下来的三年中，我们将通过教材，帮助你运用科学有效的方法学习英语，发展英语语言
能力，培育文化意识，提升思维品质，提高学习能力。
在这套教材中，你还会遇到一些已经熟悉的小伙伴。他们是就读于新星中学（New Star Middle
School）的王一鸣（Wang Yiming）、陆遥（Lu Yao）、林东（Lin Dong）、李百灵（Li Bailing），还有插
班生英国男孩哈利·特纳（Harry Turner），以及他在英国就读的好友莉萨·格林（Lisa Green）。他们
会和你一起，在学习英语的同时，探索新世界、思考大问题（Big Question），在真实情境中“讲（文
化）小故事，悟（人生）大道理，学百科新知识，用英语做事情”。
本套教材的每个单元以主题为引领，从大问题入手，设有五个小话题，分别对应听力、口语、
阅读、写作和项目探究五大板块。每个话题下包含符合初中生学习、生活和成长特点的类型丰富
的语篇，设计层层推进的学习活动，帮助你获得丰富的学习体验，并在学习过程中了解自己的学
习成效，最终对单元大问题有更加全面、深入的认识和理解。
在你学习教材的过程中，有一位智能机器人“胡博士”（Dr Hu）会帮助你掌握语言知识、技能
和学习策略。每个单元都设有“语音”（Pronunciation）、“词汇”（Word study）、“语法”（Grammar
in use）、“青少年技能提示”（TEEN skill）等特色小栏目，以及旨在展示多元文化、拓展视野的“探
索发现”（Discovery）板块。“学习笔记”（My learning notes）用来帮助你积累所学、拓展常用的语
言表达。每当你顺利完成“更新任务清单”（Update my to-do list）之后，就可以在单元首页的“任
务清单”（To-do list）上对应条目前打钩。单元最后的“项目探究”（Project）是你展示学习成果的
好机会。你可以和同学合作，综合运用课内外学到的跨学科知识技能，学会在真实情境中用英语
思考并解决真实问题。
本册教材除了常规单元以外，还设有一个衔接单元（Starter）、两个文化角（Culture corner）和
一个文学角（Literature corner）。衔接单元帮助你顺利从义务教育英语课程学习的二级开始向三级
进阶。文化角不仅带你更深入地了解中国文化，学会用英语讲中国故事，还带你领略多样的世界
文化。文学角中，我们精选了广受青少年喜爱的优秀文学作品片段，供你赏析。
希望这套教材给你带来学习英语的新体验、新收获，为你插上一双逐梦的翅膀，飞向世界，飞
向未来！

We learn about all sorts of plants and how to care for them. Last

Wang Yiming finds it hard to try something new, and then he finds the
following story on a website.
As solar scientists, we love sunlight. It makes us
warm and brings us renewable energy. We often
discuss how wonderful it will be to collect and use
solar energy everywhere.
However, many people thought it was impossible.
The solar panel is made of solar cells on a very
heavy glass holder. We failed many times to make
the holder light, until pizza gave us an idea.
One night, we went for pizza after work and one of
us got burnt by the pizza pan while he was moving
it. “The pan is just like the holder! It’s heavy and
troublesome! Luckily, we have a paper box to take
the pizza home,” he said. “Paper box ... Wait!”
shouted someone else excitedly, “Why not put a
layer between the holder and solar cells to separate

them? Then we can easily take away the solar cells from the holder and
stick them on different devices.” We hurried to the lab to test this new
idea. After countless tries, we succeeded!
Hopefully, one day we can stick these solar cells to the sides of buildings,
cars and bags. With that, we can power the world.

Claire, 12, dreamed of playing on her

heart sank.
Later, she told her mum the news. “I will just run around in a
funny costume instead of playing in the game! I had better give
up!” she cried.
“Things won’t always go your way, but disappointment can be good
for you. It’s all to do with how you respond,” her mum said.

still feel strongly the call of the football
field. “After all, players and mascots
perform on the same field, don’t they?”
She finally decided to work hard at
becoming a good mascot.
Through careful preparation, Claire
made a lovely sunflower costume. At the
first game, she put it on, took a deep breath, danced and ran around the
field. The crowd chanted happily, “Go! Go! Sunflower!” Claire felt as bright
as a sunflower.
After the game, she ran into the coach. He said, “We all love your costume.
Why not enter for the mascot designing competition? I’m sure you will
win!”
Well, with every disappointment comes a new chance!

They travel more than 100 kilometres every day. They bring about 200,000

Beep, beep! You’ve got a message on your
beeper. In the 1990s, it was common to call
a beeper operator to send the messages.
Being a beeper operator was a very popular
job in China back then. However, now
people use smartphones to send messages.
Old jobs
From the 1960s to the 1970s open-air cinemas
became popular. The operator would set up a
screen and speakers, and use a special machine
called a projector to play the film. The audience
enjoyed the film while usually sitting on small
seats. Today people watch films at home or in
the cinema.
Grinders often went door to door to sharpen tools
like scissors, knives and so on. Fewer and fewer
people take up the job now because most people
find it easier and cheaper to buy tool sharpeners.

In a smart home, the internet controls everything
from heating to cooking. Smart devices share
information with each other. Smart homes “talk”
to us and guide our activities.
Better personal care
Smart homes learn what their owners often
do. An alarm clock keeps track of its owner’s
sleeping schedule and sets itself. Health care
devices know when their owners are not feeling
well and order medicine.
Easy control
We can control our smart devices by speaking and
signalling. Sometimes, we do not have to control
them at all. Smart devices can sense what we need.

characters come from Peking opera face make-up. For
example, a young fox wears huadan make-up to look
prettier. Traditional customs like paper cutting and
lion dancing are also shown in the film. Each scene is
poem-like!
From the story to the pictures, the film gives younger
children a rich taste of the traditional Chinese culture,
making them proud of Chinese animation.

Mountains and rivers
in poems
The River
Sara Teasdale
I came from the sunny valleys
And sought for the open sea,
For I thought in its gray expanses
My peace would come to me.
I came at last to the ocean
And found it wild and black,
And I cried to the windless valleys,
“Be kind and take me back!”
But the thirsty tide ran inland,
And the salt waves drank of me,
And I who was fresh as the rainfall
Am bitter as the sea.
Watching the Lu Mountain Falls
Li Bai
Purple smoke rises from the mountaintop,
The peak looks like an incense burner in the sunlight,
Far away I see the valley stretching before me.
The whole waterfall hangs there.
The torrent dropping three thousand feet
Straight down to the valley floor,
I think it must be the milky way
Spilling to the earth from the heavens.

About Chinese opera
Chinese opera is one of the oldest
art forms in the world. Other early
forms of opera include Greek drama
and Indian Sanskrit opera.
Popular opera styles in China
include Peking opera, Yue opera,
Huangmei opera, Ping opera, Yu
opera and so on.
Today, there are over three hundred
different styles of traditional Chinese
opera.
We can enjoy music, singing and
other forms of art when we are
watching Chinese operas. The
costumes and facial masks are
attractive too.
Chinese opera is an
impression of culture. You
can understand a little
bit more about people by
listening to and watching
a performance like this.

Beijing opera, also known as Peking opera, is one of the most famous operas
in China. It is on UNESCO’s list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Singing, recitation, acting and acrobatic fighting are the basic skills of Peking
opera. The performers have to practise for many years to master these four skills.
Singing
Singing is the major
means① of Peking opera
performance. Singing can
express the character’s
feelings and thoughts.
Each role requires a
special singing skill.
Recitation
Recitation is an important
skill in Peking opera. It
is a way to prepare for
the singing part. When
actors’ emotions② reach
their peak③, they stop
recitation and start to sing.
Acrobatic fighting
The acrobatic fighting in Peking opera is different from the fighting in Chinese kung
fu. However, training in acrobatic fighting for Peking opera is never easier than that for
Chinese kung fu. A fighter for Peking opera usually begins training at the age of 4 or 5.
Acting
The acting skill in Peking opera is of dancing effect. Performers combine④ the
movements of hands, eyes, body and feet. A well-known example of acting in
Peking opera is the waving of long sleeves.

In the beginning, they watched Peking opera like watching Western opera and sat

the Chinese audience. They would cheer “bravo” when actors showed up. They would
applaud the brilliant② parts. They would applaud the martial art performances.
They now realised that expressing your love by saying “bravo” in the middle of the
performances is welcomed and preferred, and I think this is the biggest change.

one of them. Match the news with the item(s) in Lu Yao’s list.
Two Chinese sportsmen presented two American sportsmen with
gifts at the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022. The match was a
curling contest. The Chinese female curler gave two sets of pins④ to
the American sportsmen. The pins feature the mascot Bing Dwen
Dwen for the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022.
“The pins are beautiful and so special. We’ll remember this forever,”
said the American female curler.
The saying “as Canadian as maple syrup” describes
things that represent Canadian culture. The maple tree
is special to Canada. The maple leaf is on the national
flag of Canada. Maple syrup is known as liquid① gold.
It is made from the sweet sap② of the maple trees.
Most of the natural maple syrup comes from Quebec,
the French-speaking part of Canada. Canadians even
celebrate the Maple Syrup Festival.
Mexican food is popular all over the world. The history of
Mexican food dates back to thousands of years ago. Corn
and chilli peppers are the soul③ of Mexican cooking. Beans,
tomatoes and chicken are key ingredients too. One of
the most famous Mexican dishes is the taco. The phrase,
“echarse un taco”, meaning “to grab a taco”, has become so
common in Mexico that it now means getting any kind of
food.

1 Chinese and American cultures each have
several days connected with gift-giving. Many of
these days (such as weddings) are shared between
the two cultures.
2 In both cultures, any meaningful thing is
considered gift-worthy.
3 In Chinese culture, “pushing and shoving①”
when receiving a gift does not necessarily mean
that you don’t like the gift. This behaviour may
mean that you think the gift giver is being far too
kind.
4 In American culture, after one receives a gift, it is
not necessary to reply with another gift in return.
One can also choose to reply with a gift to show
care, respect and love.

Twenty Thousand Leagues① Under the Sea is a classic
science fiction novel written by French author Jules Verne
(1828-1905) and published in 1869-1870. The story follows
the adventures of a French professor Pierre Aronnax, his
servant Conseil, and Canadian harpooner② Ned Land, as they
get caught by the strange Captain Nemo and taken to his
underwater ship, the Nautilus.
At the beginning of the story, strange things started
happening in the world’s oceans. People saw a scary monster
attacking ships in the sea. It made everyone very scared. No
one knew what it was or why it was doing this.

During the year 1866, the world was shocked to hear stories of a sea monster
attacking several ships that passed through the oceans. The governments of many
countries were quite interested in the matter. The monster was said to be much
larger than a whale. Most agreed that the monster’s shape was similar to that of a
whale, however. Some said the strange animal was nearly two hundred feet long;
others promised the monster was more than a mile long.
On the 20th of July 1866, a great ship was leaving India for Australia when it
was hit by the strange animal, and sunk into the ocean, only five miles off the east
coast of Australia. Just three days later, in the Pacific Ocean, the sea animal attacked
another ship.
Right away after these scary events, people all over the world were talking about
the sea animal. Newspapers always had new stories about the monster. Scientists,
news reporters, and many others wrote many pages about their views on the newly
discovered sea monster. For six months, people talked of nothing but the strange
animal.
During the first months of the year 1867, however, interest in the sea monster
seemed to decrease③ a great deal. People were no longer curious to read about
the sea monster, until the 5th of March 1867, when another ship, Canadian,
had been hit. Now, however, people began to believe this sea monster was not
an animal, but rather a small island in the sea that floated④ to different places
in the ocean. The ship, though, had not been hit terribly; it returned to its port
for repairs. Had the ship hit a rock under water? No one knew, but after a close
examination, it was found that part of the ship’s bottom was broken. As this

When you are reading a story, it is helpful to draw a plot outline to have a general
understanding.
Organise my reading
An outline shows the structure of a story. With its help, you can easily find out the
stages and important moments in the development of the story. Usually, the main
plot has a beginning, a middle and an ending — the structure of the starting event,
problem, and solution for this story.
In this novel, the main plot can be divided into several parts, called subplots.
Remember that each subplot has its own little journey.
Go ahead and drop everything you read into the table below for every subplot as
well as the main plot.
Read the story. Answer the questions.
1 What happened in the year 1866 that shocked the world?

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is an 1876 novel by
Mark Twain (1835-1910) about a boy growing up along
the Mississippi River. In the novel, Tom Sawyer has several
adventures, often with his friend Huckleberry Finn.
A fun-loving boy, Tom misses school to go swimming
and is made to paint his aunt’s fence① for the whole of
the next day, Saturday, as punishment. Tom cleverly gets
several children who live near him to paint his aunt’s
fence by making them pay.

Tom Sawyer lived with his aunt because his mother and father were dead. Tom
didn’t like going to school, and he didn’t like working. He liked playing and having
adventures. One Friday, he didn’t go to school — he went to the river. Aunt Polly was
angry.
Aunt Polly:
You’re a bad boy! Tomorrow you can’t play with your friends because
you didn’t go to school today. Tomorrow you’re going to work for
me. You can paint the fence.
Saturday morning, Tom was not happy, but he started to paint the fence. His friend
Jim was in the street.
Tom:
Do you want to paint?
Jim:
No, I can’t. I’m going to get water.
Then Ben came to Tom’s house. He watched Tom.
Ben:
I’m going to swim today. You can’t swim because you’re working.
Tom points out that it is not exactly work if he is enjoying himself, and he makes
a great show of applying whitewash② and then stepping back to admire his own
effects③. When Ben wants to try his hand at whitewashing, Tom pretends to be
reluctant ④ until Ben offers him first the core⑤ of the apple and then the entire⑥
apple.
Tom:
This isn’t work. I like painting.
Ben:
Can I paint too?

Ben:
I’m a good painter too. Please, can I paint? I have some fruit. Do
you want it?
Tom:
OK, give me the fruit. Then you can paint.
Ben started to paint the fence. Later, many boys came to Tom’s house. They
watched Ben, and they wanted to paint too.
Tom stayed in the yard, and the boys painted. They painted the fence three times. It
was beautiful and white.
By the middle of the afternoon, the fence was whitewashed (by the other boys), and
Tom found himself a rich man, having collected marbles①, a part of a Jew's harp②, a
kite, and many other items as payment from the boys doing the work.
Tom said to himself that it was not such a simple world, after all. He had found out
a great law of human action, without knowing it, that in order to make a man or a
boy want a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to get. He realised
that Work is what someone is made to do, and that Play is something someone is not
made to do.

Hope Is the Thing with Feathers① is a poem by Emily Elizabeth Dickinson
(1830-1886), who was an American poet. Little-known during her lifetime, she has
since been regarded② as one of the most important poets in American poetry.
In this poem, hope is like a bird in our hearts. It sings even when times are hard.
It always brings comfort and never asks for anything in return.

Hope is the thing with feathers
That hides in our hearts,
And sings the song without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the storm is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could upset③ the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I’ve heard it in the coldest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity④,
It asked a bit of me.

Notes
Unit 1
(Page 19) With that, we can power the world.
译文：有了它，我们就能为整个世界提供电能。
注释：句中的power 作动词用，表达“提供动力”的意思，在此处的语境中表
示“提供电能”。“the world”是虚指，表示“世界上形形色色的事物”，说明太阳能
的应用会非常广泛，表达了作者对该项发明光明前景的展望。
power 也用作名词，表示“能量；力量”，如：solar power（太阳能），wind
power（风能）等。
e.g. He hit the ball with as much power as he could. 他用尽全力击球。
Unit 2
1. (Page 35) ..., with every disappointment comes a new chance!
译文：……伴随每一次失望而来的是全新的机会！
注释：本句为倒装句结构。句首的with every disappointment 是介词短语，
做状语，comes a new chance 为倒装结构。在英语中，常常为了保持句子结构的
平衡或表示强调而使用倒装结构。
e.g. With age comes wisdom. 随着年龄的增长，智慧也随之而来。
2. (Page 40) Sometimes, it is helpful to speak out bravely instead of keeping
back our feelings.
译文：有时候，勇敢地说出来，不压抑自己的感受，是有益处的。
注释：句中的keep back 表示“抑制（或阻止）感情等的流露”，例如：keep
back tears（忍住泪水）。此外，keep back 还表示“隐瞒”，例如：He is keeping back
something about what has happened. 关于已发生的事，他是有所隐瞒的。
Unit 4
1. (Page 62) Tech Expo
译文：科技博览会
上海教育出版社
上海教育出版社
120
注释：Tech Expo 是Technology Exposition 的缩写，意为“科技博览会”。这类
词通常由一个描述展会主题的词和Expo、Exhibition、Show 或Fair 等表示展览会
的词结合而成。例如： Auto Expo（汽车展览会），Book Fair（书展），Game Show
（游戏展），Art Exhibition（艺术展）。
2. (Page 65) The smart bed can rock you to sleep!
译文：智能床可以摇晃着让你入睡！
注释：句中的rock 是一个动词，其基本含义是“（使）轻轻摇晃，缓缓摆动”。
这个词通常用来描述柔和且循环往复的移动，与人们摇晃摇篮来帮助婴儿入睡的
动作类似，以此体现智能床的特殊功能，即通过模拟摇摆动作来促进睡眠，形象
地表现这种智能床的舒适性。
3. (Page 66) Smart homes “talk” to us and guide our activities.
译文：智能家居与我们“交流”并指导我们的活动。
注释：句中的talk 是拟人的用法，用来描述智能家居通过它们的功能和反馈
与用户进行交流。
Unit 5
(Page 81) You’ll cry an ocean for sure!
译文：你一定会痛哭流涕！
注释：句中的cry an ocean 是习语，与cry a great deal 同义，是一种比较夸张
的说法。
Unit 6
1. (Page 96) Would you like to try your luck on a frozen river?
译文：你想在冰冻的河面上试试运气吗？
注释：该句通过“Would you like ...?”的句型礼貌询问对方是否对在冰冻的河
面上尝试钓鱼感兴趣。try one’s luck 有尝试依赖运气或偶然性来达到某个目标的
含义，此处指冰上钓鱼项目是否有收获是要凭借运气的。

2. (Page 99) They flow as quietly as they come, nurturing cities on their way.
译文：河流静静地流淌着，一路滋养着所经之处的城市。
注释： nurturing 使用了比喻手法，把河流比喻成抚养孩子成长的母亲，生动
描述了河流对城市的滋养和培育。as quietly as 是as ... as 的结构，用来比较河流
的流动方式，强调它们安静平缓的流动状态。

Notes:
1 We always use the short form needn’t in negative sentences.
否定句中通常使用缩略形式needn’t。
e.g. You needn’t be shy. You are good at so many things.
2 The main verb after need(n’t) is in the base form.
情态动词need(n’t) 后接动词原形。
e.g. They needn’t finish it today.
verb is not very common. It is rather formal.)
need 作情态动词时，主要用于否定句（情态动词need 不常用于疑问句，这是比
较正式的用法）。

Possessives are forms that we use to talk about possessions and relationships
between things and people. They show ownership. They have two different forms:
possessive adjectives and possessive pronouns, depending on how they are used.
“所有格”是用来谈论人与物之间的所属和关系的形式。它们显示所有权，根据用
法不同，有两种不同的形式：形容词性物主代词和名词性物主代词。
Possessive adjectives are adjectives that show possession. They include words like
my, your, our, his, her, its and their. They are used to describe a noun and come
before nouns.
“形容词性物主代词”是表示所有权的形容词，包括my、your、our、his、her、its 和
their 等。它们出现在名词之前，对该名词进行描述。
e.g. His job is a doctor.

Possessive pronouns also show ownership. They are used alone. They include words
like mine, yours, ours, his, hers and theirs.
“名词性物主代词”也表示所有权，包括mine、yours、ours、his、hers 和theirs 等
词，是单独使用的。
e.g. They like their jobs. We like ours.
Possessive nouns are nouns that show possession. In most cases, possessive nouns
are formed by adding “an apostrophe(’) + s” to the noun, or if the noun is plural and
already ends in “s”, only an apostrophe needs to be added.
“名词所有格”是表示所有权的名词。通常情况下，所有格名词由名词后加“撇号
（’）+s”构成，如果名词是以“s”结尾的复数形式，只需加一个撇号。
e.g. the boy’s dog, students’ books
Rule 1: In singular nouns (a person, a place, a thing or an idea), we add “an
apostrophe+s” after the noun.
单数名词（表示某人、某地、某事或某想法）后加“撇号+s”。
e.g. Mary’s dog
Rule 2: In irregular plural nouns like “men” and “children”, we add “an apostrophe + s”
to show possession.
不规则复数名词（如men 和children）后，加“撇号+s”表示所有格。
e.g. Children’s Day
