新视野大学英语1第三版读写教程答案U4Part II key to exercisesSection APre-reading activities1Where New York City subway statinWho Wesley Austrey, 50 years old, a construction workerWhat Wesley Austrey saved Cameron Hollopeter.How Hollopeterfell to the tracks between the two rails when a train came. Wesleyjumped onto the tracks, lay on top of Hollopeter and pressed him down.31 .Yes, I think Wesley Austrey is a real hero because he showed unusual courage in times of danger. Few people would jump onto the tracks to save a stranger from a racing train.. No, I don’t think Wesley Austrey is a hero. He was behaving irresponsibly. He should have realized that he had two little children to take care of. What would his kids do if he died?!2 .I am most impressed by Wesley Austrey talking about his own fear and what he said to the stranger. From the report we can tell that Wesley Austrey loved his children and that he was fully aware of the danger he was facing. This further shows how caring and how courageous he was.. I am most impressed when Wesley Austrey said, “I don't feel like I did something extraordinary; I just saw someone who needed help”. This shows that Wesley Austrey is a warm-hearted and courageous person. When it is time for him to offer help, he just extends his hand. This is why when a stranger slipped off the platform, Wesley Austrey immediately jumped onto the tracks to save him, regardless of the extreme danger involved.3 I doubt if I would be courageous enough to jump onto the tracks to save the man. I would probably shout at the man, telling his to stay between the rails, lower his body, and keep his head down. And then I would ask the subway staff for help.Scripts:On a New York City subway, it’s hard enough to find some who’ll give up his seat to some stranger, let alone be willing to give his life for another person.Fifty-year-old Wesley Austrey was a construction worker. One day he was standing on a subway platform with his two little daughters. Right in front of them stood a man. Suddenly the man slipped off the platform edge and fell to the tracks between the two rails. The deadlights of a trian appeared. Wesley Austrey had to make a quick decision. He jumped onto the tracks. He lay on top of the man, pressing him down in a space roughtly a fot deep. There was only one half inch of space between the two men and the train. The train rolled overhead before it stopped and people got the out.Wesley Austr ey’s children were extremely scared at the scene, and Wesley Austrey himself was scared too. “I got to talk to him,” later he told news reporters. “Sir, you can’t move. I’ve got two kids up there looking for their father to come back. I don’t know you and you dn’t know me, but listen don’t panic. I’m here to save you.”The man Wesley Austrey saved is 20-year-old Cameron Hollopter. Except for a fesmall wounds, Hollopeter was doing fine. Wesley Austrey refused medical help because, he said, nothing was wrong. He visited Hollopeter in the hospital before he went to work. “I don’t feel like I did something extraordinary; I just saw someone who needed help,” he said. “I did what I felt was right.”Reading comprehensionUnderstanding the text11. Today both victims and survivors of all kinds of difficulties and tragedies are described asheroes.2. Because during a mass shooting in Tucson, Daniel Hernandez courageously ran through thedanger to save one of the victims.3. The priest meant that Dory was a hero not just because he gave his life for his wife, but alsobecause he had been known for his remarkable spirit and love of humanity when he was alive.4. First responders are people, such as police officers and firefighters, whose job is to rush towarddanger. They are supposed to be the first to arrive at the scene of accidents and deal with emergencies.5. In the past, heroes were those who acted courageously beyond the call of duty or great leaders,while today’s heroes can be average men and women.6. Eleanor McMahon considered may police officers to be heroes because they rush towarddanger to help those in need, against the human instinct to rush toward safety and away from danger.7. The inspiring stories of heroes help remind us that ordinary people can do extraordinary things,whether it is to fulfill their duties, or as part of everyday life.8. We honor heroes by recognizing their heroism and, more importantly, by working to change thecircumstances that led to their death.Critical thinking21. In my view, a hero is someone who:.is brave or even risks their lives in face of danger;. saves others in trouble;. shows great courage when others hesitate or fear;. sacrifices themselves for others2. Yes, people who give their lives for others shouldcertainly be considered heroes, no matterwhom they save-whether it is a family member or a stranger. By rescuing others, they demonstrate extraordinary courage and the rare qualities of a hero.3. Yes, I agree that “Heroism is latent in every human soul.”I th ink everyong, kids or adults, men orwomen, wants to be a hero. Some want to be a hero because they want to be respected or loved by others; they would like to gain fame or attention. Some want to be a hero because they want to feel powerful for themselves. Still some others want to be a hero just because they want to help those in nee, even by sacrificing their own interest, health or lives. No matter what motivates the hero, it is a glorious feeling when others look up to you as a hero.4. Yes, I think they should be regarded as heroes even though their efforts fail. They are heroesbecause they are brave and ready to sacrifice themselves for others. Their act and sacrifice will set a good example for other people, no matter whether their efforts have brought about desirable results or not. The most important thing is that they have tried while many other people would have neither the intention nor the courage to have a try.5. It is heroes who protect us from danger, and give us strength, comfort and confidence. To honorheroes, we should:. spread their names and stories in legends, the media, songs, movies, etc.;. put up monuments for commemoration;. set up a special day to remember them;. take good care of them and their families;. give them special honors; and.call on society to learn from them.Language focusWords in use31. involve2. fulfilled3. intense4. advocate5. circumstances6. respond7. subsequent8. confined9. reconciled10. distinctword building4Words learned New words formed-ableagree agreeable apply applicable desire desirable sustain sustainable compare comparable -anceaccept acceptance attend attendance assistassistance-mententertainmententertainassignment assignengage engagement51. assistance2. comparable3. attendance4. engagement5. applicable6. assigned7. acceptance8. entertain9. agreeable10. sustainable11. desirablebanked cloze61L 2N 3J 4F 5M 6C 7H 8K 9A 10EExpressions in use71. shield … from2. make sense of3. called on4. in need5. are/get caught up in6. relate to7. sum up8. count on9.

One day, Ann was diagnosed with a sever heart disease, but she did not have enough money for treatment. When people in her community heard the news, they raised money for her and helped take care of her children. Although Ann was very sick, she felt very happy. She had enjoyed helping other people, who now in turn where happy t help her. Happiness is indeed the result of helping each other.Translation10作为通过中国游历亚洲的首批欧洲人之一,马可.波罗可能是中国最熟知的外国商人和航海家。

After four-year English learning, most graduates can’t properly communicate with foreigners, nor can they translate between languages, let alone write in English. Where do the problems lie?To some extent, I think, it is reasonable for those people to say so. To begin with, English teaching at college is, in a large degree, teacher-centered.It is still not uncommon in the classroom that the teacher explains every language point in detail, while students take notes at times. Secondly, culture is neglected in English teaching because of poor text design. With a great deal of grammar and structure exercises in the textbook, students are misled into memorizing a large vocabulary and a lot of English rules. Few students know how, when and where to use them properly. Finally, test-oriented education, in a sense, misleads and impedes college English teaching in China. For instance, college English Test Band Four / Sixis so overemphasized in some colleges that teachers strive to meet the needs of the test, sacrificing learning for the sake of test results, and students only learn how to pass the examination.In conclusion, Chinese college English teaching is to be reformed. English teaching should be student-centered, culture should be introduced in language teaching, and textbooksshould be well designed to arouse students’ interest in learning to communicate in English.Unit5Part three Home ReadingI. 1 N 2.

WritingMy View on Fake CommoditiesFake commodities can be found, now and then, in the market, which has aroused a lot of public attention. It is reported that these commodities range from foodstuff, clothes to radios, and TV sets and even medicines.Fake commodities are harmful in many ways. To begin with, they bring about great loss in both properties and lives. For instance, if someone buys some fake medicines, it may not cure him of his illness, on the contrary, it may probably make his illness worse or even put an end to his life. Besides, fake commodities may impair the profit of the manufacturers who produce the real products by making the consumers suspicious of these products, thus causing social problems.There are many ways to get rid of fake commodities. First, laws should be enforced to punish those who produce these products. Second, people should be advised how to tell the genuine commodities from the fake ones. Moreover, peopleshould not buy things just because they are cheap and attractively advertised. Furthermore, they should be encouraged to report to the relevant authorities in case they have bought a fake commodity. In a word, if the whole society work together to solve this problem, I think fake commodities will have nowhere to exist.。

The pressure to succeed as an individual made most women believe that the problems they encountered were probably of their own making4.

For this reason, the approach to treatment must, above all else, be a clear one; that is, one which helps the patient separate out each of his problems and plan ways of dealing with them.Text 2Wagner was what might be called a subjective artist in that his art had its source in his personality.

There is no difference between "except" and "except for" except that at the beginning of a sentence, you must use "except for."2 As conjunction, "except" is not used by itself to introduce a clause, and it is used with that or a w/z-word (what/when/where/if, etc.).3 "Except" is often used with a prepositional phrase, e.g. except in/by/to, etc. •4 "Except" is also often used with an infinitive phrase with or without "to."1. except + prepositional phrase2. except +1ha/-clause3. except + noun phrase4. except + to-infinitive phrase5. except for + noun phrase6. except + fo-infinitive phrase7. except for + noun phrase8. except + when-clause shortened9. except + prepositional phrase10. except + that-clause2 Complete the sentences by translating the Chinese in brackets using except.1. except an explosion2. except to play a guitar3. except (to) relieve his pain4. except for about five minutes5. anything except in music6. except maybe to those who were dying7. except in our memory, except in our expectations of it8. except that yours are a little more radical9. except in sleep/dreams10. except how they got to know the criminal's exact whereabouts3 Translate these sentences using except.1.

现代大学英语Unit 4 课后练习答案

Key to ExercisesPreview第一大题1.This article was written in praise of the heroes and the heroism demonstrated during an air crash which took place in WashingtonD.C. in the year 1982.2.The terrible crash occurred in cold winter when a jet plane from Washington National Airport hit the bridge over the Potomac river. The plane dropped into the river and soon sank/ went under, bring many passengers down with it. Those who managed to get out of the plane found themselves in icy-cold water.3.Disasters are always terrible because they mean great damage and loss of life. As disasters go, this air crash was nothing very special. But because of the four heroes, it brought millions to tears or attention. Three of them formed a police helicopter team, andthey risked their lives again and again as they tried to pick up survivors. But the greatest hero was a man known as “the man in the water”because his name was never found. He was seen clinging to the tail of the plane with five other passengers. But every time a lifeline or flotation ring was dropped to him, he passed it on to another of the passengers. Those passengers survived. But the man did not.4.The emotional impact of this display of courage and noble character was tremendous, because it showed human nature at its best. This man in the water must have been an ordinary person. Before the air crash, he would never have guessed what a heroic deed he was going to perform that day, but when the great test came, he rose to the occasion.5.The author believes that this disaster filled people with a sense of pride rather than sadness, because in the contest between indifferent natural forces and the moral power of human beings, human beings have won.The man went down in the river, but he actually rose to immortality.第二大题1.The unusual element is the bridge, because normally, air crashes do not involve a bridge. Note: The word “element” means a factor or a basic part of something complicated.2.“A city of form and rules” means a city that is shapely or beautiful and orderly, but it suddenly turned into its opposite and became chaotic, turning into a state of complete disorder and confusion.The two metals here refers to the bridge and the plane, both of which are made of metal, or more specifically, iron and steel钢铁.3.From the point of view of artistic beauty, there was also a clash or conflict, because the plane was painted into blue and green, the river and black, and the chunks of ice were grey. Mixture of different types of color would make the viewers uncomfortable, so they wou ld regard this scene as “aesthetic clash”.4.Perhaps people did not regard this air clash as a failure at all. They all saw the triumph of human nature over the elements.5.Here human nature and natural powers are in conflict/clash.“Groping and struggling” re fers to the fact that normally it is human instinct本能;天性to grope for something to hang on to (=to hold on; to survive) and to struggle for life.6.Rise to the occasion: to deal successfully with a problem or situation that is especially difficult.7.The sente nce means “Three out of the four acknowledged heroes...are able to account for their behavior”.Account for: to give a satisfactory explanation.8.In the line of duty: while working; while on duty9.Skutnic added that somebody had to go in the water saying what every hero would say under the circumstances, but although the remark has been repeated by many heroes, it isstill admirable.10.It means the main reason for the emotional impact, or the person who caused the great emotional impact.11.Mass casualty: a great number of people injured and killed in an accident or battle. The word “mass” here is an adjective, meaning affecting a lot of people. Cf: mass murder; mass killing; mass destruction; mass hysteria; mass protest; mass movement; mass unemployment; the mass media; the mass market; mass-produce v; mass-produced adj.; mass production. Derivation: massacre; massiveCommitment: a sense of duty and responsibility and a determination to work hard at it.12.As his name remained unknown, it made him a sort of symbol, a symbol of what human beings can do when they are at their best. 13.“listening to...” is a participle phrase used as an adverbial of manner, modifying thepredicate of the main clause “sitting”; “tell...” and “saying...” are both part of the complex object of “listening to”; and “to fasten...” is part of the complex object of “tell”.14.In the essential, classic circumstance: in the most significant/crucial/decisive and typical circumstance15.The age-old battle between human beings and nature16.Go at each other: to fight each other violentlyAct on principles: to act according to the distinction between good and evil; to act according to moral principles17.It means that when the man in the water gave a lifeline to the people gasping for survival, in the same way he seemed to be also saving the lives of those who watched him, making them understand life’s true meaning. 18.Hold it to a standoff: make nature unable to win the battle immediately (迫使自然接受在和人的斗争中的僵持局面,使它不能马上得逞)Vocabulary第一大题第一小题1.Incompetence2.Immoral3.Impossible4.Incomplete5.Impersonal6.Incredible7.Indirect8.Immovable9.Immortal10.Impolitermal12.Improper13.Impartial14.Impatient15.Incorrect16.Incapable17.Insignificant18.Impractical19.Imperfect20.Insensitive21.Impermissible22.Impenetrable23.Indifferent24.Immovable25.Invisible26.Immodest27.Immature28.Invaluable29.Invariable30.immeasurable第二小题(1)-ee: noun.

Um ... that would normally imply that one has somebody to manage. In my case, it's just a glorified sales rep. I go round visiting shops, maybe five or six per day when I'm travelling. The rest of the time I spend in the office, answering queries from customers about sales and planning the next trip.
