高二英语课文12 高二课文：Unit 12 Mainly Revision Two friends, Kate and Li Qun, are talking about keeping fish. 凯特和李群这两个朋友在谈论着养鱼。 KATE: I saw a beautiful fish in the street market the other day. It was orange and blue. Im thinking of buying some next Sunday. 凯特:前几天，我在街市上见到一条很漂亮的鱼，鱼身呈橙蓝色。我打算下星期天去买几条。 LI QUN: Where would you keep them? 李群:你把鱼放在什么地方？ KATE: In that round bowl over there. 凯特:在那边的圆缸里。 LI QUN: Its a bit small, isnt it? 李群:缸不小吗？ KATE: So are the fish! 凯特:鱼也小呀！ LI QUN: I think you should get a tank if you want to keep fish. 李群:我看你要是真想养鱼的话，就该找个水箱。 KATE: Really? 凯特:真的吗？ LI QUN: Yes. You should never keep fish in a small round bowl. They dont get enough air. I suggest we go shopping together and look for a nice tank. We need to find one about 30 centimetres(cm) by 30 cm by 50 cm. 李群:错不了。你绝不能把鱼养在一个小圆缸里。（那样）鱼得不到充足的空气。我建议我们一块去买，找个好看的水箱。我们需要找一只尺寸大约为30（厘米）X 30（厘米）X 50（厘米）的水箱。 KATE: That might be quite expensive. 凯特:那花钱可就多啦。 LI QUN: Check the prices before you decide whether to buy one. And you ought to get a few large rocks to put in the tank. Fish love swimming round the rocks and through holes in them. 李群:先把价格核对一下，再决定该不该买。还有，你应该弄到几块大点儿的岩石，放进水箱里。鱼喜欢绕着岩石和穿石洞游水。 KATE: Is there anything else that I ought to get? 凯特:我还该弄点别的什么东西吗？ LI QUN: Yes, you need to get some underwater plants. For one thing they keep the water clean. Also they make the tank look much prettier. 李群:是的，你还需要弄一些水下植物。一来，水下植物可以保持水的清洁；二来，它们还可以使容器看起来更漂亮些。 This is Radio Two. Here is the one oclock news. A young lion has escaped from Green Park Zoo in southeast London. In the hurricane last night a tree fell onto the cage where it was kept and in the morning it was found that the lion had escaped. It is about seventy-five centimetres tall. The manager of the zoo said that the young lion, which was born in the zoo and is now six months old, would probably not attack people. However, if it becomes hungry, it might be dangerous. Anyone who sees the lion is asked to telephone the z
