15、seeing many of my friends killed by the enemy, we found ourselves outside a peaceful village in France. It was so sudden, after the mess and confusion of war on the beach.It was late afternoon, and the sun was setting on a perfect country scene of farm buildings, a main street, a few shops, a garage
16、 and a church. But we hesitated because we were aware that there might still have been enemy soldiers. Our lieutenant told Private Kowalski and me to advance and check the village.As we entered the main street, a young woman on a tractor drove out of the garage, saw us and called out something in Fr
17、ench. Immediately five men came out of the bar, and two more from a farmyard, holding guns.I took off my helmet and yelled, “American!Put your guns down!” They gathered round us, shouting and shaking our hands.

18、lage, so Kowalski went back to the others to let them know it was safe. I walked into a barbershop and stroked my chin, to show I needed to shave. The barber had a magnificent moustache, which he used wax to keep in shape. He filled a tin with cold water, and took out a razor from a drawer. He used
19、a leather sharpener on the razor, and then gave me the best shave I had had in years. Finally he picked up a pair of scissors and a comb, and cut my hair.When the rest of our company arrived, they unloaded their baggage and bedding while the villagers brought out some jars of wine, and laid a table
20、in the middle of the street, which they then covered with plates of potatoes and carrots, ham and sausages. Someone shouted “Cheers!” in English and we all drank to liberation and to the French constitution. Some of our boys had never tasted wine before, and spat it out, thinking it was vinegar.We g
21、ave stockings to the women, which they loved, and in return, they gave us perfume for our girlfriends. I was too ashamed to admit that I was too young to have a girlfriend. But the villagers treated us like heroes, and for a brief moment, I felt that all the fear and danger had been worthwhile. But
22、I also remembered my friends who had died earlier that day, and wondered if they would have agreed.,D日登陆2使我们吃惊的是,就在我们接到加入D日登陆部队的机密命令后仅仅两天,经过一天的战斗并亲眼目睹我的很多朋友被敌军残杀后, 我们发现我们来到了一个宁静的法国村庄外面。在经过了海滩战斗的混乱局面之后,一切是那么突然。天色已近黄昏,阳光照在农舍、大街、几个商店、车库和教堂上,一片完美的乡村景色。但是我们迟疑着,因为我们意识到或许那里还有敌兵。我们的少尉让我和士兵科瓦尔斯基前去查看一下村庄。当我们进
23、入大街时,一位年轻女子把拖拉机开出车库,看见我们用法语大叫着什么。立刻有五个男人从酒吧里出来,还有两个人从农田里端着枪出来。我摘下头盔大喊:“美国人!把枪放下!”他们聚集在我们周围,叫喊着,跟我们握手。一些妇女出现了并和我们亲吻。我们很快明白了,敌军已撤出了村子,所以科瓦尔斯基回去告诉其他人这里很安全。我走进理发店,摸着下巴以表示我需要刮胡子。理发师留着漂亮的胡须,还用了定型蜡。他把一个小罐装满凉水,从抽屉里拿出剃刀。他在一个皮革的磨具上磨剃刀,然后给我刮了一次多年来最好的胡子。最后他拿起一把剪子和一个梳子为我理发。当全连其他人员赶到后,村民们在他们卸下行李和铺盖的时候,拿出几瓶葡萄酒,在街中
24、间摆开桌子,然后在上面摆满了一盘盘的土豆、胡萝卜、火腿和香肠。有人用英语大喊“干杯!”,于是我们都为解放和法国宪法干杯。我们的男孩中有一些以前从未尝过葡萄酒,把它吐了出来,还以为是醋呢。我们送给妇女们丝袜,她们非常喜欢,作为回礼,她们给我们香水要我们送给女朋友。我感到难为情,不愿承认太小还没有女朋友。但村民把我们像英雄一样对待,一瞬间我觉得所有的恐惧和危险是值得的。但我又想起了我那天死去的朋友,不知道他们是否也这样认为。 Reading PracticeWinston Churchills SpeechesWinston Churchill is wellknown as a statesma
25、n, politician and as the British Prime Minister during most of the Second World War. He is especially famous for his speeches which many believe made people even more determined to defeat the enemy. Many of these speeches contained lines which are remembered even today.Churchill made one of his grea
26、test speeches in 1940, when he was invited to become Prime Minister of Britain, and the leader of a new government. The country had been at war for over eight months, and he knew that it would suffer many great defeats before it would begin to win the war. So on 13 May 1940 he promised the House of
27、Commons:“I would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined the Government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.”A month later, the Germany army had advanced across northern Europe, and the British Army had retreated to the coast of the English Channel. The only escape
28、 was to cross the sea back to England. Hundreds of small boats set out from ports on the English coast to bring back the soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk in France. But Churchill encouraged people that this was only a temporary defeat in a speech which included the words, “We shall fight on the
29、beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”On 18 June 1940, Churchill gave another fine speech when he drew attention to the courage of everyone defending Britain.“In years to come,” he said,
30、 “. men will say, This was their finest hour.”The Germans continued their attacks on Britain from the air. A small number of pilots resisted the much larger German Air Force. Germany lost many airplanes, and was forced to change their strategy. Britain was no longer threatened by an early invasion,
31、and on 20 August 1940, he said, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”In two years, Germany began to lose some important battles. After a defeat in North Africa, on 10 November 1942 he made a speech with the famous words, “Now this is not the end. It is not eve
32、n the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”Many people believe that Churchills leadership inspired people to remain brave in the face of Nazi Germany. His speeches are still remembered and quoted today, and remain some of the finest examples of spoken English.,温斯顿邱吉尔的演
33、讲温斯顿邱吉尔是著名的政治家,在第二次世界大战的大部分时间担任英国首相。他尤其是以他的演讲而著名,许多人认为他的演讲使人民更有决心打败敌人。这些演讲中有许多至今仍然被人们所铭记的话语。1940年邱吉尔做了一次最伟大的演讲,当时他被任命为英国首相,一届新政府的领导人。英国处于战争状态已有八个多月了,他知道在开始赢得胜利之前将会经历许多次很大的失败。因此在1940年5月13日,他在众议院承诺说:“我向你们承诺,和我向政府官员说的一样,我会奉献我所有的鲜血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水。”一个月后,德国军队开进欧洲北部,英军撤退到英吉利海峡海岸。唯一的逃跑方法是跨过大海,撤回英国。成百上千艘小船从英国海岸的港口
34、出发,以运回在法国敦刻尔克海滩上的士兵。但在一次演讲中邱吉尔鼓励人们,他称这仅是一次暂时的失败,演讲中包括这些话:“我们会在海滩上作战,我们会在登陆的土地上作战,我们会在农田里和街道上作战,我们会在山上作战; 我们绝不会投降。”1940年6月18日,邱吉尔发表了另外一次精彩的演讲,这次演讲他把注意力集中在激发每一个人保卫英国上。“在以后的日子里,”他说,“男人们会说:这是他们最崇高的时刻。”德军继续从空中进攻英国。少数飞行员抵抗住了比他们多得多的德国空军。德国损失了许多飞机,被迫改变策略。英国不再受早期入侵的威胁,1940年8月20日,他说:“人类斗争的历史上从来没有这样以少胜多的情况。”两年
35、后,德国开始在一些重要战役中失败。1942年11月10日,德军在北非战场挫败之后,邱吉尔做了演讲,其中有几句著名的话:“这不是结束。甚至不是结束的开始。但或许这是开始的结束。”许多人认为是邱吉尔的领导鼓舞了人们在德国纳粹面前保持勇敢。他的演讲至今仍被铭记和引用,其中的一些仍是英语口语的最佳范例。 Cultural CornerHow the United Nations Tries to Keep the PeaceIf you see soldiers wearing skyblue helmets, they are United Nations peacekeepers.

40、ings of the dangers from nearby states.,联合国是如何尽力维护和平的如果你看到头戴天蓝色头盔的士兵,他们就是联合国维和部队。成立联合国维和部队的倡议始于60多年前。倡导建立联合国维和部队的人是加拿大外交部长莱斯特皮尔逊,为此他获得了诺贝尔和平奖。首批联合国维和部队于1948年被派往中东。他们只是为了了解事态发展,并没有配备武器。第一批配备武器的联合国维和部队于1957年被派往中东,当时英国政府和埃及政府就苏伊士运河的问题发生了分歧。自那时起,先后有50多次联合国维和行动,其中许多次行动是自2000年以来进行的。在2003年,进行了15次维和运动,运用了近3
41、7 000名人员(士兵和文职人员)。联合国维和人员包括士兵和其他人员,他们来自120多个国家。自2000年以来,大多数人员来自巴基斯坦、孟加拉国、印度和加纳。联合国维和士兵也有来自中国、瑞典、丹麦、挪威、芬兰、加拿大、爱尔兰、意大利和澳大利亚的。二十世纪九十年代,东欧一些国家,比如波兰和捷克共和国也派出过维和人员。联合国维和行动虽然取得过多次成功,但也有一些失败。尽管周边国家一再发出危险警告,但联合国没能阻止1995年发生在非洲国家卢旺达的可怕内战。 1Which paragraph contains the writers personal view of the film?(P77)哪一段
