1、-M4U3project课文背诵-第 3 页 M4U3 Project Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules VerneIn 1863, Professor Otto Lindenbrock found a secret message in an old book （he had recently bought）. The message spoke of a trip to the centre of the Earth through a volcano in Iceland. Immediately, he got his things

2、 packed and went to Iceland, forcing his nephew Axel to go with him.In Iceland, the Professor hired a guide （named Hans）. When the three of them reached the volcano, they journeyed underground through a small cave. After many days, they came to a vast room with a large ocean inside. On the shores of

3、 this ocean, there was a forest and huge mushrooms. High above, the sky was filled with gas (that gave off light like the sun).The three men built a small boat and set sail. All of a sudden, two dinosaurs rose to the surface and began to fight each other. The small boat was almost sunk by the dinosa

4、urs before they were able to get away.They sailed to shore and explored the forest. They came across huge insects and many strange creatures. As they were wandering around, they noticed a man sitting against a tree in the distance-he was at least four metres tall. The men became afraid, and ran back

5、 to the boat.They set sail again, and saw 【what looked like an exit, 】 but it was blocked by rocks (which had fallen down from the ceiling). They made a bomb to blow up the rocks. After the bomb exploded, their boat rushed wildly forward into a large hole. The boat floated down with the water. It wa

6、s too fast for them to escape. They could only hold on to the boat in terror.Finally, they reached the bottom of the hole. Then the water began to push them up. They floated upwards for miles. The water rushed beneath them, pushing them out into the sunlight. They now found themselves in a volcano i

7、n Italy-their adventure was over, but a new one was about to begin.The Time Machine by H. G. WallsHere is my Time Machine. This is where you sit, and with these two white handles, you can travel into the future or the past.I finished the machine just last week, and decided to use it to see the futur

8、e. As I pulled one handle, the world around me became foggy. Days and nights zipped by and everything changed before my eyes. Buildings and cities appeared and disappeared in a flash. Finally, I heard a loud thunder, and everything stopped. There was a city in front of me that appeared very old and

9、worn.I was now in the year AD 802,701, and mankind had evolved into two races, the Eloi and the Morlocks. The Eloi were small and like children. They lived above the ground and spent all of their time at play. Unlike the Eloi, the Morlocks looked like white beasts. They lived underground, (where the

10、y kept machines running so that the Eloi would be happy and well fed).At first, I thought that the Eloi had forced the Morlocks to do all of the work so that the Eloi could play. However, later I came to see that I had the wrong impression: the Morlocks were the real masters. They took care of the E

11、loi because they lived by killing and eating them. The Morlocks even tried to catch and kill me, but luckily I was able to use the Time Machine to escape. I then traveled 30 million years into the future. I was now on a beach with an ocean in front of me, but there was neither wind nor waves, and th

12、ere seemed to be little life. I went still further into the future, and the sun grew larger, redder and darker, and the Earth became cold and covered in frost. Everything was still-there was no life or movement at all.As the world turned to complete darkness, I pulled the other handle, and found myself back in my house in the present day. Only three hours has passed.
