When I looked at my watch, I went wild with worry: there were only fifteen minutes left before the examination began, and the nearest bus stop was a long way off. Not knowing what to do, I stood still by the side of the road, tears welling up in my eyes. Then a car pulled in and I heard a voice asking what the matter was. When he heard my story, the driver offered me a lift. Thank to his kindness, I arrived just in time. And so here I am today.( 157 words)Unit 2Part I Pre-reading TaskScript for the recording:Just what are friends for? To have fun with, of course, to share in the good times. Yet most people would say that a real friend is more than just a fair weather fri end. A fair weather fri end? A fair weather friend is someone who's happy to stay with you when things are going well but leaves as soon as trouble arrives, while a good friend, a true friend, is one who'll stand by you when you find yourself in difficulties.

Y ou know what I'm like, always putting things off till tomorrow. And writing was never my strong point. But looking out the window just now at the kids playing outside reminded me of when we were their age. All sorts of memories, like the time Tim Shea broke the window, the Halloween that we tiedOld Mr. Parker's gate, and when Mrs. Culver used to keep us after school, came flooding back. What a great time we spent hanging out together. Come to think of it, time was just about all we did have to spend in those days.But time flies. I began the letter with "Old Friend" because that's what we've become over the years—old friends. And there aren't many of us left. Which makes those who are all the more precious. Y ou in particular. Y our friendship over the years has meant an awful lot to me, more than I can say because I'm not good at saying things like that.Anyway, we've been out of touch for far too long. So I thought you'd like to know that I was thinking of you. We really must try to get together soon. Why not come to visit?

Before you read it, let me tell you something about its author, Stephen Hawking.Hawking is perhaps the most well-known scientist since Einstein. Like Einstein his work tackles the big questions, questions such as How did the universe begin? Why is the universe the way it is? and How will it end? He is now working on what is sometimes known as the 'theory of everything.' Among other things, this promises to explain what caused the Big Bang that started the universe.But it is not simply the power of Hawking's mind that has led to his fame. For what many people find most striking about him is the contrast between the strength of his mind and the weakness of his body. For for many years Hawking has suffered from an illness that has left him unable to move and to speak normally.Born in England in 1942, Hawking had a normal childhood, and it was not until he was a student at university that his illness started to affect him. Hospital tests showed he was suffering from a disease that weakens control over the muscles. The disease gets worse with time and there is no known cure. But Hawking did not lose heart. As he says, "although there was a cloud hanging over my future, I found, to my surprise, that I was enjoying life more than before. I began to make progress with my research, and I got engaged to a girl called Jane Wilde. That engagement changed my life. It gave me something to live for."Hawking started research at Cambridge and went on to hold the same post that another great scientist, Newton, once held. Over the years his condition has worsened, but even when he finally lost the ability to speak, he managed to get round the problem. He now uses a computer that enables him to select words which are then turned into speech. "The only trouble," the English scientist says, "is that it gives me an American accent!"- 102 -Appendix IPart II Text AT ext Organization1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-3 To make informed decisions about change, the public needs a basic understanding of science.Part Two Paras 4-6 What can be done to educate the public about science.

Computers, for example, have provided some with the comfort of working from home while at the same time throwing others out of work as their jobs are automated. In the future changes are likely to be even much greater as science reaches out to shape life itself. New organisms (有机体) are already being engineered. New genetically modified crops promise benefits from higher yields and less use of harmful chemicals.But once again we cannot be sure that science will only change our lives for the better.

《全新版大学英语综合教程》（第二版）第一册课文翻译及课后练习答案2012-09-16 18:15:09| 分类：||Unit 1 Growing UpText A Writing for myself为自己而写——拉塞尔·贝克从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头，但直等到我高中三年级，这一想法才有了实现的可能。
在这之前，我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。
我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。
我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作，老师读着受累，我写着痛苦。
弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时，我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。
弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。
据说他拘谨刻板，完全落后于时代。
我看他有六七十岁了，古板之极。
他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜，微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐，梳得纹丝不乱。
他身穿古板的套装，领带端端正正地顶着白衬衣的领扣。
他长着古板的尖下巴，古板的直鼻梁，说起话来一本正经，字斟句酌，彬彬有礼，活脱脱一个滑稽的老古董。
我作好准备，打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上一年，不少日子过去了，还真不出所料。
后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。
弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸，出了不少题目供我们选择。
像"暑假二三事"那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有，但绝大多数一样乏味。
我把作文题带回家，一直没写，直到要交作业的前一天晚上。
我躺在沙发上，最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课，便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗一看。
我的目光落在"吃意大利细面条的艺术"这个题目上。
这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。
贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来，当时，我们大家一起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。
那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。
多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过，在座的大人也是经验不足，没有一个吃起来得心应手的。

Primitive man used rivers as a means of travel.In ancient times, man settled near rivers or on river banks and built up large empires andcivilizations. Rome today still stands on both sides of the Tiber. The Menam runs through modern Bangkok, still serving as a great waterway for the transport of goods and people.Water is Nature’s most precious gift to man. Man needs water to irrigate his crops, to cook and to wash. In nations far and wide rivers mean life and wealth. The Irrawaddy, Nile, Ganges and a host of other rivers feed and clothe the nation around them. A shortage of water in heavily populated agricultural areas will cause great hardship and starvation as crops fail.Water is also a source of energy and power. Man constructs huge dams across rivers to control the water for irrigation and obtain the energy needed to drive generators. The electrical power is then channeled to homes, cities, factories, television stations and the military.Man uses billions of litres of water each day. His main source of water comes from reservoirs which in turn obtain their water from the rivers.1. Rivers have been important to man ______.A.since Roman timesB.since many years agoC.since a few hundred years agoD.for a very long time2. In ancient times empires and civilizations grew up near ______.A.the TiberB.the MenamC.riversD.the Irrawaddy3. Rivers bring ______.A.life and wealthB.the most precious giftsC.food and clothesD.crops4. A heavily populated agricultural area is one where ______.A.there is a shortage of waterB.there are huge damsC.there are hardship and starvationD.there are too many farmers living close to one another5. Energy is obtained from rivers by ______.A.controlling the waterB.building dams across themC.building bridgesD.driving generatorsTwoTelevision, the modern wonder of electronics, brings the world into your own home in sight and sound. And the word “ television” means seeing far.Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio, sound is changed intoelectromagnetic waves which are sent through the air. Experiments leading to modern television took place mare than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into working models. Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become industry.The influence of TV on the life of the people is incalculable: it can influence their thoughts and their way of life. It can also add to their store of knowledge. Educational TV stations offer teaching in various subjects. Some hospitals use TV for medical students to get close-up views of operations. At first television programs were broadcast in black-and-white. With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networks were broadcasting most of their programs in color.The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones. Since the launching of the first c ommunications satellite, more and more programs are telecast “live” from all over the world. People in San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo. And live telecasts now come from outer space. In 1969, the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their historic “moon walk” to viewers on the earth. Since then, astronauts have regularly sent telecast to the earth.6. The launching of communications satellites made it possible for people in San Francisco to ______.A.get close-up views of operationsB.store knowledgeC.watch the 1964 Olympic Games in TokyoD.watch national programs7. The development of science and technology made it possible for television programs to ______.A.be telecast in full colorB.be telecast in San FranciscoC.be telecast in TokyoD.be telecast in black-and-white8. The word “incalculable” means ______.A.easy to tellB.very greatC.difficult to tellD.very small9. Television is said to be the modern wonder of electronics, because ______.A.it influences people’s way of lifeB.it makes people see farC.it brings the world into people’s own home in sight and soundD.it works as radio10. Television became an industry in ______.A.1950B.the 1960sC.the 1920sD.the 1950sThreeHow men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations ─the things they bring up before our minds, Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which like music and by their association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.11. We will make our speech silly if we ______.e words carefullye words in a literary stylee words without accuracye words with caution12. One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings was that ______.A.they could express actions and thingsB.they could communicate with each otherC.they could agree upon lettersD.they could write and combine them13. What is true about the words?A.They are used to express only thoughts and feelings.B.They are signs.C.They are simply sounds.D.They can only be written.14. Which of the following statements is not true?A.The more we read and learn, the more the number of words mean something to us.B.The more we read and learn, the more knowledge we will acquire.C.The more we read and learn, the more learned we are.D.The more we read and learn, the more illiterate we become.15. In expressing their thoughts, great writers are able ______.A.to move men to tearsB.to be mastersC.to singD.to be charmingFourTime spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether are a book-lover or only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive design is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather uninteresting book. You soon become lost in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must hurry to keep some forgotten appointment ─without buying a book, of course.The opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can go to such places as much as you wish. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting: “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop, an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. You might want to find out where a particular section is. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.
