U1 para 11-13U2 para 6-7,10U4 para 3, 11U6 para 10,12-14Unit 1 Section AAn impressive English lesson11 Perhaps, language should be looked upon as a road map and a valuable possession: often study the road map (check grammar) and tune up the car engine (adjust vocabulary). Learning grammar and a good vocabulary is just like driving with a road map in a well-conditioned car.12 The road map provides the framework and guidance you need for your trip, but it won't tell you exactly what trees or flowers you will see, what kind of people you will encounter, or what types of feelings you will be experiencing on your journey. Here, the vocabulary makes the journey's true colors come alive! A good vocabulary enables you to enjoy whatever you see as you drive along. Equipped with grammar and a good vocabulary, you have flexibility and excellent control. While the road map guides your journey to your destination, an excellent vehicle helps you to fully enjoy all of the sights, sounds and experiences along the way.13 Effective, precise, and beneficial communication depends upon grammar and a good vocabulary, the two essential assets for students, but they are not being taught in schools. Translation一堂难忘的英语课11 也许,语言应该被看成是一张路线图和一件珍品:我们要常常查看路线图(核对语法)和调整汽车的引擎(调节词汇)。

大学英语A2一、阅读理解1、The earliest settlers came to the North American continent to establish colonies which were free from the controls that existed in European societies. They wanted to escape the controls by kings, governments, priests, churches, and noblemen. To a great extent, they succeeded. In 1776 the British colonial settlers declared their independence from England and established a new nation, the United Stated of America. In so doing, they overthrew the king of England and declared that the power to govern would lie in the hands of the people. They were now free from the power of kings. In 1787, when they wrote the Constitutions for their new nation, they separated church and state so that there would never be a government-supported church. This greatly limited the power of the church. Also, in writing the Constitution they expressly forbade titles of nobility to ensure that an aristocratic society would not develop. There would be no ruling class of noblemen in the new nation.The historic decisions made by those first settlers have had a profound effect on the shaping of the American character. By limiting the power of the government and the churches and eliminating a formal aristocracy, they created a climate of freedom where the emphasis was on the individual. The United States came to be associated in their minds with the concept of individual freedom. This is probably the most basic of all the American values. Scholars and outside observers often call this value''individualism,''but many Americans use the word ''freedom'' Perhaps the word ''freedom'' is one of the most respected popular words in the United States today.(1)、The colonial settlers in North America .A:had hoped to completely get rid of the controls from EuropeB:were completely out of the controls from Europe at the very beginningC:were never under the controls from Europe in the course of building the coloniesD:were partly successful after 1776答案:A(2)、In 1776 the British colonial settlers .A:killed the king of England and set up a new countryB:declared their independence from all the kings and governments in EuropeC:overthrew the rule of England and declared their independenceD:separated church from state答案:C(3)、After the establishment of the United States of America .A:the British colonial settlers become the upper classB:American people became the real master of their countryC:the church was highly supported by the governmentD:the power of church was increased答案:B(4)、Which of the following was one of the historic decisions that influenced a lot the shaping of the American character of individualism?A:the separation of church and state.B:the development of an aristocratic society.C:the freedom of the government.D:overthrowing the king of England.答案:A(5)、A climate of freedom was formed after .A:Americans began to use the word "freedom"B:scholars and observers began to use the term "individualism"C:the Constitutions was written in which the power of the government and the church was limited and the ruling class was eliminatedD:the earliest settlers came to the North America答案:C2、During the meal, you'd better be careful not to leave a spoon in a soup bowl or coffee cup or any other dish. The coffee spoon ought to be on the saucer, the soup spoon ought to be on the plate under the bowl. When you are having soup, make the least noises and use the side of your spoon inside out this way, not the tip. And you mustn't pick up your soup bowls so as to drink away the last drops of your soup from the bottom of the bowl.Very often there is only one main course and salad, followed by your sweet. If you find the meal not enough, say "Oh, it's delicious!" and ask for some more of the chicken or steak or whatever you have just had. The hostess will be very glad that you appreciate her cooking and will give you an extra portion. But if you observe the Chinese way of being polite and say "No, thank you" when the hostess offers you more, you will most probably starve later, because Americans will never press food on you. Yet it is not polite to keep silent and not to talk with the person next to you. It would be considered good manners if you handle your silverware with care so that they don't make any noise. When coffee comes, drink it from your cup. The coffee spoon should rest on the saucer while you are drinking. And smoking, of course, is rarely seen at a dinner table. Well, when the meal is finished, the guests put their napkins on the table and stand up, the men again helping the ladies with their chairs.After the dinner, the guests usually stay for an hour or two, then they would say, "Well, I'm afraid I must be going now." The host and hostess would of course urge everyone to stay longer. "What, already? Won't you have another coffee?" The guests, for instance, would say, "I'd love to, but I haveto be up early tomorrow morning. Thank you for a most enjoyable evening. Good-night."And if you stay overnight or over the weekend, it will be courteous to send a thank-you note to the host or hostess the following day, very often with a small gift such as a box of chocolate or some flowers as a token of appreciation of their hospitality.(1)、Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A:How to Prepare for a Meal.B:Never Press Food on Your Guest.C:Table Manners in the U.S.A.D:How to Enjoy a Dinner.答案:C(2)、The passage suggests that ______.A:to make the hostess happy you should ask for more food even if you are fullB:you should keep silent at a dinner table in order to be politeC:if you want to be friendly with the person next to you, you should press food on himD:talking is necessary at a dinner table答案:D(3)、At a dinner table, you do all of the following except ______.A:making the least noise possibleB:picking up your soup bowl to drink away the last dropC:handling your silverware with careD:drinking the coffee from your cup答案:B(4)、What does "courteous" in the last paragraph mean?A:Friendly.B:GenerousC:PoliteD:Noble.答案:C(5)、The passage implies that ______.A:different nations have different customsB:Chinese customs are quite similar to American onesC:both Chinese and Americans have soup before the main courseD:if you are polite, the hostess will press more food on you答案: A二、词汇与语法1、He had a ________ escape from the gas explosion.A:slightB:smallC:thinD:narrow答案:D2、Henry and Bady _____to the parties at the Trade Union every Saturday.A:are used to goB:use to goC:used to goD:were used to go答案:C3、Unable to speak a word of the local language, he had to _____ with the villagers with gestures.

欢迎来看啊··大学英语A2一、阅读理解1、Castles were brought to Britain by William the Conqueror, when he invaded England in 1066 from his homeland in France. One of the most powerful ways for William to take control of his new kingdom, which included England, Scotland and Wales, was to have castles built throughout the land. At first, he ordered the construction of very simple castles, called motte and bailey castles.These early castles consisted of an earthen mound, topped by a tower built of wood. The bailey was a large area of land enclosed by a shorter fence. Inside the bailey were the main activities of the castle, such as workshops, stables and livestock, household activities, etc., while the tower on the motte was used as the lord's residence and as an observation post. Before long, the earthen castles were replaced by the stone castles, which were much sturdier, did not rot like wood, and also were much more able to withstand any attack by an invader.From the 11th to 13th centuries the stone castles were booming. They were not just used by the king. Most castles, in fact, were granted by a king to their most loyal knights or barons who fought bravely in battle and supported their king. The king, starting with William the Conqueror, gave his loyal knights vast estates and permission to build castles. In return, he expected these men to control their lands as the king's representative, to keep the local population from rebelling, and to force them to work and pay rent to the lord, who then passed it onto the king. These knights and barons built castles almost everywhere in Britain, served to strike fear into the local peoples, and to symbolize their power and wealth.By the 15th century the stone castles began declining. For the one thing, military necessity changed in Great Britain. There was less emphasis placed on defense and more on comfort. Earlier stone houses were gradually modified, or abandoned completely and replaced by great houses of a richer and more relaxed style. The development of firearms and the increasing use of gunpowder, for the other one, also ended the castles' endurance.Despite their decline, many wealthy families of the 18th and 19th centuries fed their passions by naming their newly built houses, "castle." This ill-informed romanticism had its valuable side, which eventually led to concerted efforts to preserve and restore many ruined castles.Even today, centuries after they were active in British history, the castles of Britain have established themselves firmly in the national and international mindset. Castles have demonstrated not only the exchanges of the majesty, power and wealth of their noble builders, but also the rise and set of British Empire.(1)、The castles originated from_______.A:FranceB:EnglandC:ScotlandD:Wales答案: A(2)、According to the text, "motte"(Para. 1)refers to _____.A:an earthen moundB:a wooden towerC:a shorter fenceD:a larger area答案: A(3)、From the 11th to 13th centuries, castles were booming because of the following reasons EXCEPT ________.A:a giftB:a force meansC:a symbolD:a tourist attraction答案: D(4)、What caused the decline of the castles?A:They are too expensive.B:They are ruined because of fighting.C:They are less comfortable.D:It took much time to build them.答案: C(5)、Which of the following is true?A:People doesn't like the castles any more.B:Much more new castles are being built.C:The castles are the most famous buildings in Britain.D:The castles still have their reputation in the world.答案: D2、Remember global warming? Back in December, the threat of climate change was thundering and the rich countries agreed to cut their carbon-dioxide and other green-house-related emissions. Since then, interest has cooled markedly, and many European countries are already running away from the promises they made so loudly a few months ago. But there has been much talk, and a bit of action, to encourage renewable energies such as wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms. These emit no greenhouse gases, but tend to cost more than coal, oil or gas.The better, simpler idea is to remember that the easiest way to reduce something is to tax it - in this case, by taxing the carbon content power. The dirtier the power, the more tax it would pay. So dirty coal would be more expensive than clean coal, which would see its price rise in relation to oil, which would be more expensive compared with gas, which would lose some of its price advantage over renewables.Unless a carbon tax was so huge as to be economically crippling, it would not remove the price differential between all renewables and fossil fuels. But it would narrow that gap, by fixing the differing environmental costs into the price - a useful principle in itself. It would also give renewableproducers a strong incentive to cut costs, and fossil-fuel suppliers the motivation to clean their products.Precedents suggest strongly that a carbon tax would be effective. But the disadvantage to carbon tax is political. After almost a decade of trying, the European Union gave up an attempt at a European carbon tax last year. Germany's ruling coalition is fighting against a proposed energy tax. In America, politicians believe that even mentioning the notion is certain death. But many of the political objections could be met if a carbon tax were made up for the loss elsewhere, for example by lowering payroll or sales taxes. There is always suspicion when governments come up with clever new ways to tax, and rightly so. The response to that suspicion should be to win the argument, not to abandon it.(1)、According to the passage, the easiest way to remove global warming is ___________.A:to encourage people to use renewable energiesB:to cut down the cost of wind, hydro, solar and all living organismsC:to force people to pay more tax for the carbon content of powerD:to talk less but act more答案: C(2)、The standard of paying tax was _________.A:that the more carbon content of power it contained, the higher tax one would payB:that oil would be more expensive than clean coalC:that renewables would be most expensive of allD:in the order that renewables are the most expensive while clean coal the cheapest答案: A(3)、We can infer from the passage that carbon tax ___________.A:may not be as effective as people expectB:has encouraged renewable producers to cut costsC:has reduced consumption of the carbon content energy successfullyD:couldn't be that effective if fossil fuels would not be forbidden答案: A(4)、The word"crippling"(Para. 3) most probably means _________.A:greatly increasingB:seriously weakeningC:sharply decliningD:abruptly halting答案: B(5)、The reason why many countries stopped introducing carbon tax eventually was mainly that___________.A:governments had tried to put it into effect for many years but with no obvious resultB:if one country made up the loss by paying the carbon tax, other countries would follow it C:governments were afraid of being suspected if they adopted the new taxD:governments had been discussing what to do with carbon tax for a long time, but they hadn't come to an agreement答案: C二、词汇与语法1、When the girl heard the news, she could do nothing but ________ back home.A:goingB:wentD:go答案: D2、They ________ thankful to have the opportunity to further their studies.A:would like to beB:ought to beC:would rather beD:had better be答案: B3、He had been having trouble ______a hotel room.A:reservingB:to reserveC:reservedD:reserve答案: A4、You should take care that you have not ________ any detail in the design.A:disappearedB:thrownC:deliveredD:neglected答案: D5、In Britain people drive ______the left.A:atB:onC:toD:in答案: B6、Not only Tom but also his wife ______fond of watching television.A:areB:wereC:beD:was答案: D7、Although punctual himself, the professor was quite used ____late for his lecture.

大学英语A2一、阅读理解1、The judgment of the Englishman by all other European peoples is that he is the most suspicious, the most reserved, the most unfriendly, the coldest-hearted of all western peoples.Ask a Frenchman, an Italian, a German, a Spaniard, even an American, what he thinks about Englishmen; and every one of them will tell you the very same thing. This is precisely what the character of men would become who had lived for thousands of years in the conditions of northern European land.But, on the other hand, you would find that all nations would speak highly of certain other English qualities - energy, courage, honour, justice. They would say that, although no man is so difficult to make friends with, the friendship of an Englishman once gained is stronger and truer than any other. And as the battle of life still continues, and must continue for thousands of years to come, it must be acknowledged that the English character is especially well suitable for the struggle. Its reserves, its cautions, its doubts, its suspicions - these have been for it in the past, and are still in the present.It is not a lovable nor amiable character; it is not even kindly. The Englishman of the best type is much more inclined(倾向于)to justice than he is to be kind, for kindness is an emotional impulse, and the Englishman doesn't like every kind of emotional impulse. But with all this, the character is a great one, and its success has been the best proof of its value.(1)、The Englishman is characterized as ______.A:suspicious and open-mindedB:reserved and friendlyC:suspicious and warm-heartedD:cold-hearted and unfriendly答案:D(2)、According to the author, the main factor which has shaped the English character is a ______ one.A:geographicalB:economicalC:psychologicalD:political答案:A(3)、Certain other English qualities such as courage, energy, and honor are ______.A:ignored by EuropeansB:praised by EuropeansC:ignored by themselvesD:praised by themselves答案:B(4)、It seems that it is most difficult to ______ an Englishman.A:speak highly ofB:take care ofC:make friends withD:fight against答案:C(5)、The Englishman prefers ______ to ______.A:being on guard, emotional impulseB:justice, kindnessC:value, successD:being true, friendship答案: B2、"You're trying to control my life," says my nine-year-old son. "I don't know why you think you can do that, but you can't." I received this bit of information after I asked Gabriele to put his dirty socks in the basket. And I get no sympathy from my mother, who says, "You let him have his way from the beginning."It's true. I have always asked Gabriele's opinion, found out how he felt about things - treated him as my peer, not my child. And what have I got from my troubles? A lot of back talk. At least I'm not alone; it's a complaint heard among parents across the country.It's not just that we're confused by the contradictory advice offered in parenting books. The fact is, in an effort to break away from how we were raised - to try something more liberal than our parents' "do it because I say so" approach - our generation has gone too far. "Today's parents want to be young, so they try to be friends with their children," says Kathy Lynn, a parenting educator."When it comes to discipline, our society has gone from one extreme to the other," says Ron Moorish, a behavior specialist. "We used to use the strap, to intimidate. Then we had permissiveness, and now it's about giving children choices and allowing them to learn from their own experiences."Real discipline, says Moorish, is about teaching. "By correcting our children when they do something wrong, we teach them how to behave properly," he says. But this only works, he emphasizes, if parents regain their position of authority. Children will always be children. The key is for parents to choose to take the time to guide and teach their kids.Rita Munday, a mother of four children, couldn't believe the dramas that played out in the children's shoe store she operated. She often saw children insist on having the high-priced, brand-name shoes.

大学英语A2Unit1 How Family Rules Profoudly Affect Our Lives家规是如何深刻影响我们生活的5-6段翻译这些规则充分说明了我的父母对孩子的感觉。

如果没有大量的指导和批评,孩子们是不会靠自己学习,他们需要父母教他们明辨是非。

因此,我们学会了做事的“正确”方法,我把这种方法叫做“费宾方法”。

同时,也不鼓励我们去寻找另外的变通方式。

译:These rules best illustrate my parent’s beliefs about children.Children could not be trusted to learn naturally without a great deal of dirction and criticism.They needed parents to teach them right and wrong.So we learned the “correct”way to do any task,which I think of as “the Fabian way,” and were not encouraged to discover alternative methods on our own.当我们问,为什么我们必须要按“费宾方法”做事,为什么必须要遵守一些要求,最常得到的回答是,“因为我说要这么做。

”有些时候我们会得到一个答案,但是我却很少感到满意。

然而,有绝对的权威时就要有绝对的尊重,因此,我们没有一次对此提出质疑,并顺从地遵守他们的规则。

爱,在我看来是另外一回事。

译:When we asked why we had to do something”The Fabian way”or why some request had to be followed the most frequent response was,”Beacuse I said so.”Sometimes we would get an answer,but I was seldom satisfied.Yet absolute respect is required when there is absoulte authority,so we didn’t question more than once and obediently complied with their rules.Love,I came to see,was another matter.单词:authority 权利obey服从illustration例证fundamental基本的profound深远的likely可能的suitable合适的absorb吸收,理解conclude推断出phrase短语accurate 精确的chore家务活illustrate说明,阐明belief信念criticism批评,指责obedient服从的,顺从的compy遵丛,服从resent怨恨,对……表示怨恨resentment怨恨severe严厉的fortunate幸运的rare稀有的,罕见的style风格pulpit讲坛congregation(到教堂做礼拜的)会众confirm证实,确认vt. confirmation证实,确认n. hug拥抱apology道歉,认错therapy治疗短语:grow up成长comply with遵从,服从set out陈述,阐明work out处理,解决Think of...as...把…看成…have an/profound/great on对……产生影响be likely to do sth.有可能做某事make a comment (on...)(对…)加以评论In terms of 就……而言,从……方面来说leave for 动身前往……a grwat deal of大量的……go through经历,遭受On one’s own独立地,独自other than除了n./adj./v.的前缀:in-,un-,ir-,im-,il-,dis- 表示与本来(原来)的意思相反Eg:capable能干的→incapable无能力的moral道德的→immral不道德的Logical合逻辑的→illogical不合逻辑的employment使用,职业→unemployment失业regular有规律的→irregular不规则的order命令→disorder混乱able有能力的→unable无能力的like喜欢→unlike不喜欢1)legal合法的:There is no doubt that cannabis(大麻) will remain an illegal drug for the foreseeable future.2)Possible可能的:I t was quite impossible for us to drive all the way from Paris to Madrid in one day.3)Successful成功的:He made an unsuccessful attempt to climb the highest mountain in the range.4)Responsible负责任的:To take the boat out with four children under the ago of ten and with no life jackets on board was quite irresponsible of him.5)Appropriate适当的:The dress she was wearing was quite inappropriate for the occasion.6)Polite礼貌的:It was very impolite of him to insult his mother in front of his aunt.7)Religious宗教的:They were an irreligious family and I would never marry one of the daughters.8)Honest诚实的:As a ppolitician he was dishonest and it was not long before nobody trused him.9)Perfect完美的:The goods were i mperfect and had to be returned to the store we bought them from.10)Contented满意的:She was discontented with her life and decided that things had to change.Unit 2 HOMESCHOOLING在家接受教育2、3段落翻译为什么父母选择在家教育孩子?他们这样做有多种原因。

大学英语(2)部分课后练习答案及课文译文
9. A
解析:过去分词短语相当于一个定语从句,与主语的逻辑关系为被动关 系,相当于“which is founded”。整个句子的意思是:“创建于1951年的 国际研究大学是一所军事学院。”
10. C 解析:本题需要选择whose来充当关系代词,作定语修饰名词,相当于 所修饰成分的前置所有格。整个句子的意思是:“一个我不知道名字的 学生来看望我。”
3. D 解析:在4个选项中,除了as能够引导非限制性定语从句外,其余都不 可以。整个句子的意思是:“代表们提出了许多提议,这正是我们所希 望的。”
4. A 解析:因为one of前有定冠词the,所以定语从句应该是修饰one的,谓 语动词要用第三人称单数。整个句子的意思是:“玛丽是唯一要被转走 的队员。”
13. D 解析:句子的意思是:“这就是我所想告诉你的”。这是一个表语从 句,后面句子缺少一个作tell宾语的连接词,因此只能选择what。 14. C 解析:句子的意思是:“班里的同学们不理解这句话的意思是什 么。”疑问句作宾语从句时语序应该使用陈述句的语序,其他选项都不 是陈述句语序,故正确但为C。 15. B 解析:及物动词doubt后面缺少一个宾语,由于宾语部分已经完整,这 里只需要连词that起连接作用,而且在句子里不充当成分。句子的意思 是:“我们不怀疑他能做的很好。”
11. B 解析:第一个空需要选择when来引导定语从句表示时间,一般来讲表 示时间“time”一词的定语从句只用when引导。第二个空需要选择表示地 点的关系副词where来引导定语从句。整个句子的意思是:“人类在宇宙 中随心所欲自由飞翔的日子终归会到来。”
12. D 解析:本题考查判断关系代词和关系副词的区别。此时需要准确判断先 行词在定语从句中的成分(主、谓、宾、定、状)。在本题中所缺部分为 宾语,而where, that, on which都不能起到宾语的作用,只有the one既可 作主句的表语,又可作从句的宾语,更重要的是它可以省略关系代词。 整个句子的意思是:“这是你几天前参观的那家博物馆吗?”

大学英语A2一、阅读理解1、In the past, operations were difficult. Until the middle of the eighteen fifties, surgery was very dangerous. Many patients died after even the smallest operations. This was because bacteria entered the cuts in the patients' bodies and started infection. In some countries, up to 90 percent of patients died from infection after operations. In 1865, however, Joseph Lister, a British surgeon, found an answer to the problem. He used an "antiseptic"(消毒剂)during and after operations. This killed the dangerous bacteria and most of his patients lived. Since then, surgeons have used antiseptics in all operations.Surgery has developed in many important ways since the day of Joseph Lister. Today, when patients go to hospital for an operation, they can expect the best treatment, in clean and hygienic(消毒,卫生的)conditions.(1)、Operations were difficult and dangerous until_______.A:1850B:the middle of 1860sC:the middle of the fifties of the eighteenth centuryD:the middle of the fifties of the nineteenth century答案:B(2)、In the passage, surgery means__________.A:the performing of an operationB:cureC:treatmentD:medicine答案:A(3)、In the past, up to 90 percent of patients died after operations mainly because__________.A:bacteria entered the cuts in the patients' bodies and infection took placeB:the conditions in hospitals were badC:the skill of surgeons was not so goodD:there were no good medicine at that time答案:A(4)、Which topic of the following best suits the passage?A:Operations were difficult in the past.B:The devotion of Joseph Lister to medical science.C:Surgery has become simpler.D:Developments in surgery.答案:D(5)、Joseph Lister was________.A:a FrenchmanB:a GermanC:an EnglishmanD:an American答案:C2、One of my favorite places when I lived in Tokyo was the sushi bar in my neighborhood. I'd take a seat, and the chef would prepare fish fresh from the market in central Tokyo. I liked sushi before I moved to Japan; now I love it.I'm hardly alone, which is bad news for the world's oceans. Partly because more and more sushi is demanded, we're fast fishing out our seas. Some researchers estimate that if we don't change the way we harvest the oceans, all the commercial fisheries (捕鱼业) in the world could disappear as early as 2048. That could mean no more fish to buy in your local supermarket.Fortunately, scientists are looking for ways to fish sustainably (可持续地). One method is a quota system that sets a limited amount to every fisherman or corporation who wants a share of the total catch for certain sea area. These catch shares get rid of the possibility to overfish. A recent study in Science found that the system can prevent fishery from dying and even make it better over time. "It's truly a win-win situation," says Steven Gaines, a marine biologist at the University of California at Santa Barbara and one of the study's co-authors.Consumers also can help save the seas through the fish they buy. California's Monterey Bay Aquarium Institute is coming out with pocket guides to sustainable sushi. The researchers base their ratings on the health of a wild fish's population as well as the impacts of fish-farming operations. Oysters, for example, grow fast and can be farmed sustainably, but salmon can't. The researchers also take fishing practices into consideration: catching big-eye tuna (金枪鱼) can cause its nearby fish to die, which certainly no one wants to see. It is hoped that, by making the right choice, consumers can encourage businesses to fish in a more sustainable way.(1)、The author loved _____ when he lived in Tokyo.A:playing footballB:eating sea foodC:singing and dancingD:reading newspapers答案:B(2)、If we continue to fish in this way, ______.A:the fisheries could make a lot of moneyB:more and more sushi would be demandedC:there could be no fish in the oceansD:the supermarkets could disappear答案:C(3)、The "quota system" is a system which ______.A:sets a limited amount to fishermen or companiesB:enables everyone to fish as much as possibleC:prevents fishery from getting better over timeD:is not a way to guarantee sustainable fishing答案:A(4)、According to the last paragraph, the researchers base their ratings on _____ aspects. A:oneB:twoC:threeD:four答案:B(5)、The example of catching big-eye tuna is to prove that _____.A:the quota system is a win-win situationB:the pocket guides are helpful to sustainable sushiC:the health of a wild fish's population is importantD:the researchers base the ratings on fishing practice答案:D二、词汇与语法1、He used to have a _______ of coin-collecting, but he has given it up.A:habitB:hobbyC:customD:like答案:B2、How did you like the ________ of the interpreter at the press conference?A:performanceB:achievementC:materialD:words答案:A3、______ I like the color of the hat, I don't like its shape.A:IfB:UnlessC:WhileD:Even答案:C4、I used to _____TV on weekends, but now I start to do some sports with my friends.

那是我想重新捕捉并珍藏在心中的一个时刻。

我想重温那个夜晚的愉快。

然而,照我希望的那样去写,就会违反我在学校里学的正式作文的种种法则,弗利格尔先生也肯定会打它一个不及格。

没关系。

等我为自己写好了之后,我可以再为弗利格尔先生写点什么别的东西。

Suddenly I wanted to write about that, about the warmth and good feeling of it, but I wanted to put it down simply for my own joy, not for Mr. Fleagle. It was a moment I wanted to recapture and hold for myself. I wanted to relive the pleasure of that evening. To write it as I wanted, however, would violate all the rules of formal composition I'd learned in school, and Mr. Fleagle would surely give it a failing grade. Never mind. I would write something else for Mr. Fleagle after I had written this thing for myself.6等我写完时已是半夜时分,再没时间为弗利格尔先生写一篇循规蹈矩、像模像样的文章了。

U n i t 1要提高我们的英语水平,关键是多读、多写、多听、多说;此外,尽可能多背熟一些好文章也十分重要;如果你脑子里没有储存大量好的英语文章,你就不能用英语自由的表达自己的思想;一边学一边总结经验也很有帮助,因为这样做,我们就能搞明白哪种学习方式是更有效的;能够产生最理想的效果;只要我们坚持努力学习,到时候我们就会完成掌握英语的任务;To improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening and speaking. Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.Unit 2:随着捐款源源不断的进来,我校明年的财务状况会好多了;这样我们就能集中营对我们作为教育工作者必须承担的最重要的任务:鼓励学生实现他们的学业目标,培养他们成为有责任感、靠得住的人,使他们对将来的生活有所准备,并在他们追求物质及精神满足的过程中给予引导;With more and more donations coming in, our university will be much better off financially next year. We will thus be able to focus on the most important task that we, educators, must take on: to encourage students to attain their scholarly / academic goals, to train them to be dependable and responsible individuals, to prepare them for the life ahead, and to guide them in their pursuit of spiritual as well as material satisfaction.Unit 3:约翰逊先生的儿子乔治癌在晚上听重金属音乐,这使社区其他居民无法入睡;疲惫不堪的邻居们终于失去了耐心,决定直接干预;她们打电话给约翰逊先生,坦率地把想法告诉了他;约翰逊先生向邻居保证他一定会解决这个问题,放下电话他便去训斥儿子:“你这是怎么了你该懂得不能为了你自己的娱乐而妨碍别人;”结果乔治拿CD跟同学换了电脑游戏软件;George, the son of Mr. Johnson, liked listening to heavy metal music in the evenings, which made it hard for other residents in the community to fall asleep. Eventually the exhausted neighbors lost their patience and decided on direct interference. They called Mr. Johnson to tell him in frank manner what they were thinking. Mr. Johnson assured them that he would certainly settle the issue. As soon as he put down the phone he scolded his son, ”what has come over you You should know better than to disturb others for your own amusement.”In the end George traded his CDs for computer games software from his classmates. Unit 4:也许你羡慕我,因为我可以借助计算机在家里工作;我也这么想,互联网使我的工作方便多了;我可以通过电子邮件撰写、编辑并交出我的文章,在网上与我的同事聊天,与老板讨论工作;我用鼠标一击,马上就能拿到我要的一切资料,获得最新的消息;可是,另一方面,用网络通信有时也令人沮丧;系统有可能瘫痪,更糟的是,因为没有面对面交谈的情感提示,键出的词有时候似乎很难理解;Perhaps you envy me for being able to work from home on the computer. I agree that the Internet has made my job a lot easier. I can write, submit and edit articles via email, chat with my colleagues on line and discuss work with my boss. With a click of the mouse, I can get all the data I need and keep up with the latest news. But then, communicating through the Net can be frustrating at times. The system may crash. Worse still, without the emotional cues of face-to-face communication, the typed words sometimes seem difficult to interpret.Unit 5众多事实证实这一说法:要想让自己很快从低落情绪中解脱出来,你得让自己哭;你不必为“哭”而感到羞愧;忧虑和悲伤能随同眼泪一起流出身体;看一看唐娜的例子吧;她的儿子在一次车祸中不幸丧生;这次打击之大使她欲哭无泪;她说:“直到两个星期后的一天,我才开始放声痛哭;然后,我便觉得好象一块大石头从我的肩上抬走了;是眼泪将我带回到了现实之中,帮助我渡过危机;”Numerous facts bear out the argument / statement / claim that in order to recover speedily from negative emotion, you should allow yourself to cry. You needn’t /don’t have to be ashamed of crying. Anxiety and sorrow can flow out of the body along with tears.Consider the case of / Take Donna. Her son unfortunately died in a car accident. The intensity of the blow made her unable to cry. She said, “It was not until two weeks later that I began to cry. And then I felt as if a big stone had been lifted from my shoulders. It was the tears that brought me back to earth and helped me survived the crisis.”Unit 6:南希霍普金斯是麻省理工学院的生物学教授,她渴望知识,努力工作;然而,作为一名科学家,他不能不注意到校园里男女不平等的各种表现;男女教授做同样的工作,但是到提升的时候,行政领导却很有选择性;具有讽刺意味的是在取得这么多的文化进步以后,妇女在高等学府里却仍然处于不利的地位;当她增加实验室面积的请求被拒之后,她知道他必须起来抗争,因为他咬紧牙关向校长申诉,这次抗争以胜利告终,南希也因此变成了男女平等的倡导者;Nancy Hopkins is a biology professor at MIT. She craves knowledge and works hard. However, as a scientist, she could not help noticing all kinds of indications of gender inequality on campus. Men and women professors did the same work, but when it came to promotion the administrators were rather selective. It was ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institutions of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight. So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President. The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equity advocate.Unit 7:虽然英语是如何产生的对许多人来说还个谜;语言学家认为他和很多欧洲语言来自同一个源头,即印欧母语;英语最初是在公元五世纪入侵英格兰的盎格鲁—撒克逊人使用的;他们将英语的基本词汇传给了我们;在十五个多世纪的发展中,英语通过大量借用丰富了自己,随着英国移民登陆美洲并建立了独立的美利坚合众国,英语又增添了一个新的变种:美语;虽然有人担忧英语的发展失控了,但大多数以英语为母语的人对他们语言的宽容性感到自豪;Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.。

Unit 1 Learning Styles学习风格Howard Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University, reflects on a visit to China and gives his thoughts on different approaches to learning in China and the West.哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德·加德纳回忆其中国之行,阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。

Learning, Chinese-StyleHoward Gardner中国式的学习风格霍华德·加德纳1 For a month in the spring of 1987, my wife Ellen and I lived in the bustling eastern Chinese city of Nanjing with our 18-month-old son Benjamin while studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools. But one of the most telling lessons Ellen and I got in the difference between Chinese and American ideas of education came not in the classroom but in the lobby of the Jinling Hotel where we stayed in Nanjing.1987年春,我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月,同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。

然而,我和埃伦获得的有关中美教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂,而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。

大学英语 A2一、阅读理解1、There's a great story about an old Finnish woman who, without quite realizing it, was using her cell-phone to access the Internet and track her city's public transit system. When asked why she used the wireless Internet so frequently, she replied, "What are you talking about? I don't know anything about this wireless Internet stuff. I just know the bus is here."Regardless of whether you want to admit it, a lot of us are like that old Finnish woman. When it comes to new mobile applications, many of us do not realize the capability and power that we hold, literally, in our hands.What we are looking at today is the mobile Internet in its infancy. Now that using the Internet from home or work has saturated much of society, the next logical step is to be able to use the Net when you are far away from your desktop or laptop. Speech recognition is one way to do this, and there are a number of services, collectively called the "voice Web", that will make this possible. All you do is to use a phone or wireless device to call a phone number, and speak commands to an intuitive system. It will then give you the information you're seeking, using either a synthesized voice or an audio file.In the United States and Europe, the hot technology for wireless devices is called WAP (Wireless Application Protocol), which is being considered as the world standard. WAP is supported by major phone companies including Nokia, Motorola and Ericsson, and is simply a means of transmitting information, much like HTML which is a means ofcommunicating on the Internet.Currently, wireless Internet connections may give you news, sports scores, stock quotes, and the weather if you're lucky. But if you've ever used this technology, you know it's slow, costly and doesn't seem worth the time and effort, if it works at all. All of this technology points to easier living. Perhaps you'll need to find a restaurant for an occasional business meeting. Y ou'll press a button on your mobile phone, and access the Internet to pull up a list of great restaurants in your immediate area. Y ou'll hit another button, say a few words into the handset and you've got a reservation for four.(1)、The author uses the story of an old Finnish woman to indicate that __________.A:she is ignorant of some common knowledgeB:public transit system contains the accessory to Internet C:many people are unaware of the function of the new appliances being usedD:the Internet is experiencing rapid growth答案: C(2)、The word "saturate" (Para. 3) most probably means _________. A:stateB:utilizeC:despiseD:fill答案: D(3)、According to the text, WAP is a __________.A:technology standard set by major phone companiesB:substitution of HTML which can be applied on the Internet C:means of exchanging informationD:a software application for transmitting voice over telephone lines答案: C(4)、We can infer from the passage that the mobile Internet is different from the previous Internet in that the former__________.A:can be accessed by desktop computersB:has no need for wire appliancesC:can be used to book a table in a restaurantD:is equipped with speech recognition systems答案: B(5)、What is the attitude of the author towards the future of mobile Internet?A:IndifferentB:NeutralC:OptimisticD:Pessimistic答案: C2、Castles were brought to Britain by William the Conqueror, when he invaded England in 1066 from his homeland in France. One of the most powerful ways for William to take control of his new kingdom, which included England, Scotland and Wales, was to have castles built throughout the land. At first, he ordered the construction of very simple castles, called motte and bailey castles.These early castles consisted of an earthen mound, topped by a tower built of wood. The bailey was a large area of land enclosed by a shorter fence. Inside the bailey were the main activities of the castle, such as workshops, stables and livestock, household activities, etc., while the tower on the motte was used as the lord's residence and as an observation post. Before long, the earthen castles were replaced by the stone castles, which were much sturdier, did not rot like wood, and also were much more able to withstand any attack by an invader.From the 11th to 13th centuries the stone castles were booming. Theywere not just used by the king. Most castles, in fact, were granted by a king to their most loyal knights or barons who fought bravely in battle and supported their king. The king, starting with William the Conqueror, gave his loyal knights vast estates and permission to build castles. In return, he expected these men to control their lands as the king's representative, to keep the local population from rebelling, and to force them to work and pay rent to the lord, who then passed it onto the king. These knights and barons built castles almost everywhere in Britain, served to strike fear into the local peoples, and to symbolize their power and wealth.By the 15th century the stone castles began declining. For the one thing, military necessity changed in Great Britain. There was less emphasis placed on defense and more on comfort. Earlier stone houses were gradually modified, or abandoned completely and replaced by great houses of a richer and more relaxed style. The development of firearms and the increasing use of gunpowder, for the other one, also ended the castles' endurance.Despite their decline, many wealthy families of the 18th and 19th centuries fed their passions by naming their newly built houses, "castle." This ill-informed romanticism had its valuable side, which eventually led to concerted efforts to preserve and restore many ruined castles.Even today, centuries after they were active in British history, the castles of Britain have established themselves firmly in the national and international mindset. Castles have demonstrated not only the exchanges of the majesty, power and wealth of their noble builders, but also the rise and set of British Empire.(1)、The castles originated from_______.A:FranceB:EnglandC:ScotlandD:Wales答案: A(2)、According to the text, "motte"(Para. 1)refers to _____. A:an earthen moundB:a wooden towerC:a shorter fenceD:a larger area答案: A(3)、From the 11th to 13th centuries, castles were booming because of the following reasons EXCEPT ________.A:a giftB:a force meansC:a symbolD:a tourist attraction答案: D(4)、What caused the decline of the castles?A:They are too expensive.B:They are ruined because of fighting.C:They are less comfortable.D:It took much time to build them.答案: C(5)、Which of the following is true?A:People doesn't like the castles any more.B:Much more new castles are being built.C:The castles are the most famous buildings in Britain.D:The castles still have their reputation in the world.答案: D二、词汇与语法1、For most people, it takes _______ effort to memorize a long poem.A:to considerB:consideringC:considerableD:considerate答案: C2、_____five hundred people are believed to have drowned.A:As many asB:As much asC:So many asD:So much as答案: A3、The icy conditions made our travel dangerous.

大学英语 A2一、阅读理解1、The fridge is considered a necessity. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food first appeared with the label, "store in the refrigerator."In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily. The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher, the baker and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A vast way of well-tried techniques already existed--natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, bottling…What refrigeration did promote was marketing--marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animal around the globe in search of a good price.Consequently, most of the world's fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house,while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.The fridge's effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant. If you don't believe me, try it yourself, invest in a food cabinet and turn off you fridge next winter. You may miss the hamburgers, but at least you'll get rid of that terrible hum.(1)、The statement "In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily. "( Para. 2) sug?gests that ______.A:the author was well-fed and healthy even without a fridge in his fiftiesB:the author was not accustomed to using fridges even in his fiftiesC:there was no fridge in the author's home in the 1950sD:the fridge was in its early stage of development in the 1950s答案: C(2)、Why does the author say that nothing was wasted before the invention of fridges?A:People would not buy more food than was necessary.B:Food was delivered to people two or three times a week.C:Food was sold fresh and did not get rotten easily.D:People had effective ways to preserve their food.答案: D(3)、Who benefited the least from fridges according to the author?A:Inventors.B:Manufacturers.C:Consumers.D:Travelling salesmen.答案: B(4)、Which of the following phrases in the fifth paragraph indicates the fridge's negative effect on the envi?ronment?A:Hum away continuously.B:Artificially-cooled space.C:Climatically almost unnecessary.D:With mild temperatures.答案: A(5)、What is the author's overall attitude toward fridges?A:Neutral.B:Objective.C:Critical.D:Compromising.答案: B2、Since World War II, there has been a clearly discernible trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence, "go steady"through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. However, emotional maturity is no respecter of birthdays; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three-score years and ten.Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness. And it can almost be put down as a dictum that any marriage seldom solves one's problems, more often, it merely makes them worse. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home is an institution that is capable of carrying all that the young are seeking to put into it. Y oung people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that "success" is the ultimate good, but they erroneously believe that they themselves havefound the true center of life's meaning. Their expectations of marriage are essentially utopian and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much, and disappointments are often bound to follow.Shall we, then, join the chorus of "Miseries" over early marriage? One cannot generalize: all early marriages are not bad any more than all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by time, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or false expectations, and if it is economically feasible, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so are bad ones.(1)、According to this article the trend toward early marriages __________.A:was the result of the Great Depression of the 1930'sB:could not be easily determinedC:is one that could be clearly seenD:is a result of the emotional maturity of the young答案: C(2)、The author suggests that many of today's early marriages are a result of __________. A:escapismB:theological dictumC:lack of formal educationD:convenience答案: A(3)、More often than not, early marriage will __________.A:not affect one's problemsB:solve a person's problemsC:intensify one's problemsD:ease one's problems答案: C(4)、The author states that the home as an institution is __________.A:overratedB:unworthy of worshipC:a god who can grant everything that you wish forD:probably not capable of being what many young people expect it to be答案: D(5)、 Many young people who marry early believe that __________.A:their parents have found the true meaning of lifeB:they have found the true center of life's meaningC:"success"is the ultimate goodD:to succeed is not at all important答案: B阅读理解翻译参考:1、冰箱被认为是必需品,自从19世纪60年代包装食品首次带着“冷藏”的标志出现,它就成为了必需品。

I am frequently asked the question, ”Can you use chopsticks?”. I have lived in Korea, Japan, and China. In each country, I have, more often than not and without having requested one, been given a fork when one was available. I have politely refusde and said that I would be fine with chopsticks. Sometimes, I have to make further explanation.Chopsticks are the least of my worries when I am eating in an Asian home or restaurant. In fact, learning how to use chopsticks takes me nothing but a few weeks. This is not to say I was skillful, though. Learning how to use chopsticks is easy for me, whereas learning the rituals and how to conduct myself at the table is quite difficult. Just how many times do I have to say “no, thank you” when I really mean “no, thank yo u, I truly am full”? How do I get away with refusing more food without offending someone? If I insist and I still get more, is it appropriate just not to eat it? This would be impolite where I come from.I have enjoyed many great meals and my interactions with the people have been great. I am increasingly aware that I will never be able to give back as much as I have received. I don’t know how I can ever thank all of the people who introducde me to eating in Asia.我常问的问题,“你会用筷子吗?“。
