高级英语课后习题答案

BLACKMAILI. Give brief answers to the following questions, using your own words as much as possible-1) Did Ogilvie deliberatedly delay his call at the Croydons' suite? Why?2) Why did the Duchess send her maid and secretary out?3) Why do you think Ogilvie was being deliberately offensive to the Croydons in the beginning?4) How did the Duchess know where the Duke had gone the night the accident occurred?5) How did Ogilvie come to suspect the Croydons of the hit-' n run crime?6) what is a 'brush trace'?7) What made the Duchess jump to the conclusion that Ogilvie had come to blackmail them?8) Why didn't the police come immediately to the hotel to check the cars?9) Why couldn't the Duchess get her car repaired discreetly in New Orleans?10) Why did the Duchess decide to make the detective drive their car north?11) Why did the Duchess offer Ogilvie twenty-five thousand dollars instead of the ten thousand the detective asked for?12) Did Ogilvie accept the Duchess’ offer?II. Paraphrase:1) The house detective's piggy eyes surveyed her sardonically from his gross jowled face.2) Pretty neat set-up you folks got.3) The obese body shook in an appreciative chuckle.4) He lowered the level of his incongruous falsetto voice.5) The words spat forth with sudden savagery, all pretense of blandness gone.6) The Duchess of Corydon –three centuries and a half of in-bred arrogance behind her -- did not yield easily.7) "It is no go, old girl. I'm afraid. It was a good try."8) "That's more like it," Ogilvie said. He lit the fresh cigar, "Now we're getting somewhere."9) his eyes sardonically on the Duchess as if challenging her objection.10) The house detective clucked his tongue reprovingly.Ⅲ.

I oblige them; they do the same for me, like letting me know what gives, an' where. There ain't much, out of the way, which people who stay in this hotel do, I don’ t get to hear about. Most of 'em never know I know, or know me. They think they got their little secret tucked away, and so they have –except like now."2) "Well now, there's no call for being hasty," The incongruous falsetto voice took on a musing note. "What's done's been done. Rushin' any place ain't gonna bring back the kid nor its mother neither. Besides, what they' d do to you across at the headquarters, Duke, you wouldn’t' t like. No sir, you wouldn't like it at all."3) The Duchess of Croydon kept firm, tight rein on her racing mind. It wasessential, she knew, that her thinking remain calm and reasoned. In the last few minutes the conversation had become as seemingly casual as if the discussion were of some minor domestic matter and not survival itself. She intended to keep it that way. Once more, she was aware; the role of leadership had fallen to her, her husband now a tense but passive spectator of the exchange between the evil fat man and herself. No matter. What was inevitable must be accepted. The important thing was to consider all eventualities. A thought occurred to her.Ⅳ.

高级英语课后习题答案

Everyday Use for Your GrandmamaI. Give brief answers to the following questions, using your own words as much as possible:1 In real life what kind of woman is the mother2 What kind of woman would Dee like her mother to be3 How does the mother act when she meets a strange white man4 What kind of girl is Maggie5 Why do you think colored people asked fewer questions in 19276 Why does the mother say Dee will never bring her friends to visit them What does this tell about Dee Give other instances to prove your point.7 Why did Dee want the quilt so much8 Why did Maggie want the quilt9 Why did Dee visit her mother and sister10 What is the mother’s feeling toward Dee How is it changed in the course of the story11 What is implied by the subtitle ‘ for your grandmama’’II. Paraphrase:1 She thinks her sister has held life always in the palm of one hand2”no” is a word the world never learned to say to her3 Johnny Carson has much to do to keep up with my quick and witty tongue.4 It seems to me I have talked to them always with one foot raised in flight5 She washed us in a river of make-believe6 Burned us with a lot of knowledge we didn’t necessarily need to know7 Like good looks and money, quickness passed her by.8 A dress to the ground, in this hot weather.9 You can see me trying to move a second or two before I make it.10 Anyhow, he soon gives up on Maggie.11 Though, in fact, I probably could have carried it back beyond the Civil War through the branches.12 Every once in a while he and Wangero sent eye signals over my head.13 Less than that.14 This was the way she knew God to work.III. Translate the following into Chinese:1 In real life I am a large, big-boned woman with rough, man-working hands. In the winter I wear flannel nightgowns to bed and overalls during the day. I can kill and clean a hog as mercilessly as a man. My fat keeps me hot in zero weather. I can work outside all day,breaking ice to get water for washing; I can eat pork liver cooked over the open fire minutes after it comes steaming from the hog. One winter I knocked a bull calf straight in the brain between the eyes with a sledge hammer and had the meat hung up to chill before nightfall. But of course all this does hot show on television. I am the way my daughter would want me to be: a hundred pounds lighter, my skin like an uncooked barley pancake. My hair glistens in the hot bright lights. Johnny Carson has much to do to keep up with my quick and witty tongue.2 But that is a mistake. I know even before I wake ever knew a Johnson with a quick tongue Who can even imagine me looking a strange white man in the eye It seems to me I have talked to them always with one foot raised in flight, with my head turned in whichever way is farthest from them. Dee, though. She would always look anyone in the eye, Hesitation was no part of her nature.3 I used to think she hated Maggie, too. But that was be-fore we raised the money, the church and me, to send her to Augusta to school. She used to read to us without pity; forcing words, lies, other folks’ habits, whole lives upon us two, sitting trapped and ignorant underneath her voice. She washed us in a river of make-believe, burned us with a lot of knowledge we didn’t necessarily need to know. Pressed us to her with the serious way she read, to shove us away at just the moment, like dimwits, we seemed about to understand.4 I never had an education myself. After second grade the school was closed down. Don’t ask me why: in 1927 colored asked fewer questions than they do now. Sometimes Maggie reads to me. She stumbles along good-naturedly but can’t see well. She knows she is not bright. Like good looks and money, quickness passed her by. She will marry John Thomas who has mossy teeth in an earnest face and then I’ll be free to sit here and I guess just sing church songs to myself. Although I never was a good singer.

This tells us that Dee is somewhat a snob. Another instance to prove this is that she wants nice things.7Because it was old and stitched by hand instead of by machine. So that she could use them for decoration showing to the people she was associated with.8Maggie wanted the quilt because she could remember her grandma better, who taught her to do needle work.9Because she wanted to get some valuable heritages of the family, mainly out of her vanity.10At first the mother liked Dee because of her beauty, taste, and education. But with the development of the story, her love was transferred to a dislike because of Dee’s egotism, which wasobviously revealed when she insisted on taking the quilts while her sister Maggie gave up keeping it willingly to satisfy her desire.11It’s implied that the story is written in honor of t he grandma mentioned in it and that the ordinary old thing may be something precious for the young.Ⅱ.1She thinks that her sister has a firm control of her life.2She could always have anything she wanted, and life was extremely generous to her.3The popular TV talk show star, Johnny Carson, who is famous for his witty and glib tongue, has to try hard if he wants to catch up with me.4It seems to me that I have talked to them always ready to leave as quickly as possible.5She imposed on us lots of falsity.6imposed on us a lot of knowledge that is totally useless to us 7She is not bright just as she is neither good-looking rich.8Dee wore a very long dress even on such a hot day.9You can see me trying to move my body a couple of seconds before I finally manage to push myself up.10Soon he knows that won’t do for Maggie, so he stops trying to shake hands with Maggie.11As I see Dee is getting tired of this, I don’t want to go on either. In fact, I could have traced it far back before the Civil War along the branches of the family tree.12Now and then he and Dee communicated through eye contact in a secretive way.13If Maggie put the old quilts on the bed, they would be in rags less than five years.14She knew this was God’s arr angement.Ⅲ.

XlII. Omitted.XlV.My FamilyOurs is a big family. My father is a worker who lives in a lo-cal city. Both my oldest uncle and second uncle set up house-keeping in the countryside. My youngest uncle is a teacher and lives far from us. Great changes have taken place in my family since the beginning of the reform and opening policy. In the late 1970s, our big family had a get-together and discussed the problem of my grandma’s residence. Those were hard times. No one took the initiative to live with her. Each family had a skeleton in the cupboard. Oldest uncle had room only e-n0ugh to shelter them from the wind and rain. He had to tighten his belt to keep the family pot boiling. Second uncle had nothing but four bare walls to face and led a dog’s life. Youngest uncle was said to be living in a dormito ry and couldn’t even afford a trip back. My father lived in a bungalow which was a doll’s house thing and had to eke out our livelihood. But it was better anyway. My grandma lived on with us.Such was my family at that time. Each family of the big ex-tended family was in financial straits.In the early 1990s, my big clan held another family meeting and still my grandma’s residence was discussed. But great changes had occurred. Each smaller family was “fighting” for the chance to live with grandma. The meeting began in a merry atmosphere. My father started, “The government has established a system of floor wages and ceiling working hours. We have a steady income and regular leisure time. Besides, we have a well-furnitured apartment. “ Oldest uncle hasten ed, “The state has legalized us to be engaged in household sideline production, so I have set up a small but rather profitable poultry farm. Moreover, there is more spacious room. “ Second uncle would’t fall behind, “I have contracted to run a large stretc h of land and engage many farm hands. I profit a lot from it. I have more leisure time. “ Eventually, as regards the peace in the country-side, my grandma moved to second uncle, youngest uncle took a flight back and told us he had just bought a flat.That was my family about 10 years later. Each smaller family lived in abundance. Now, oldest uncle is manager of a large-scale poultry farm and second uncle’s farm has been mechanized.To sum up, the spring wind of the reform and opening policy has led to great changes and my family is well on the way to prosperity.。
