游乐园中有中世纪的城镇,原始的木筏和18世纪流行的画廊,
还有热带的原始森林。在卡通馆里,Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck,
Snow White(白雪公主)等卡通明星热情接待着游客。
迪斯尼乐园旁边有一条10米宽的河流,游客可乘船游览。河流
两岸森林茂密,不时传来阵阵猿鸣声。岸边有走动的大象,河里
经常有鲨鱼和海豹的出没。听起来挺原始的。不过,这些人和鸟
兽多数是人造的,由电子仪器控制。
乐园内也有dining room,shop, movie house, coffee house 等公共场
所。整个游乐园仿佛是洛杉矶的一座卫星城,被视为现代游乐场
所的奇迹。迪斯尼游乐园吸引了世界著名各地众多的游客,是孩

museum I’ve ever been to is the
American Computer Museum.
They have information about
different computers and who invented them. The
old computers were much bigger. It’s unbelievable
that technology has progressed in such a rapid
way! I’ve also learned that there was a special
computer. It could play chess even better than
humans. I wonder how much more computers will
be able to do in the future.Amy: I’ve recently been to a
very unusual museum in
India, the International
Museum of Toilets. I just
couldn’t believe my eyes when
I saw so many different kinds of toilets there. The museum
teaches people about the history and
development of toilets. It also encourages
governments and social groups to think about
ways to improve toilets in the future.Linlin: Last year I went to the
Hangzhou National Tea
Museum. It’s a relaxing and
peaceful place near a lake.
The tea art performances
show how to make a perfect
cup of tea with beautiful tea sets. Watching the tea
preparation is just as enjoyable as drinking the tea
itself. I’ve finally realized why my grandpa loves
drinking tea and collecting tea sets.1. Which three museums do the students

rapidLanguage points
1.I learned about the inventions that led to
2. color movies, too.
3. 我还了解了一些发明,它们成就了彩色电影。
此处learn是“了解;获知;得知”的意思,由介
词about或of引入所获知的具体内容。例如:
The children were all shocked to learn of the
death of their headmaster.
得知校长去 世,孩子们都十分震惊。 2. I’ve never been camping.
我从未野营过。
此句为现在完成进行时(*初屮阶段不要求掌握)
这一时态的结构为“have been + 现在分词”,
表示从过去某一时刻一直延续至今的动作。
在本句中,说话人使用这一时态来强调自己至
今从未有过野营的经历,欠缺这方面的经验。
乂如:He’s been watching TV all afternoon.
他一下午都在看电视。
We’ve been living like this ever since the birth
of my little brother.
自打我小弟弟出生,我们就一直这样生活。3. I wonder how much more computers will be
able to do in the future.
不知道将来电脑还能够做些什么事情呢。
l) Wonder 表示“(对某事)感到疑惑;想要知道;
想弄明白;琢磨”,后面常接由what, how, who
或if / whether (是否)引导的宾语从句。例如:
I wonder how they’re getting on.
我想知逍他们现在过得怎样。
I just wonder if they’ve arrived safely.
我就想知道他们 是否安全抵达了。2) 此句从句部分的取始结构处:
How much more will computers be able to do
in the future? 是对陈述句 Computers will be
able to do (much) more in the future.
(电脑 将来能够做更多的事情。)的提问。
由于充当了宾语从句,疑问结构被改成了陈
述结构 how much more computers will be
able to do in the future, 即:将助动词 will
还原到陈述句的位置。4. The International Museum of Toilets.
国际马桶博物馆
这是位于印度新德里的一个主题式展览馆,
收藏、陈列的马桶装置十分丰富,从古至今,
应有尽有,简直就是一部厕所的发展史。参
观者可从不同角度去认识厕所的演变 史。同
时,博物馆里还收藏了许多名人用过的厕所
及相关物品的复制品,旨在开拓人们 视野,
进行社会文明教育,推广环保宣传和研究。5. Watching the tea preparation is just as
enjoyable as drinking the tea itself.
看沏茶的过程和饮茶本身一样令人愉快。
-able是一个典型的形容词后缀,可加在动词
之后,表示“可……的;能够……的”; 此
处enjoyable(能使人快乐的;令人愉快的)
便是一例,再如:drinkable(可饮用的),
washable (可洗的),readable (可读的)
,usable (可用的;可使用的)等等。1. Where _____ you _____, John? I’m
