⾼级英语课后习题集标准答案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 be?3) How does the mother act when she meets a strange white man?4) What kind of girl is Maggie?5) Why do you think colored people asked fewer questions in 1927?6) 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 much?8) Why did Maggie want the quilt?9) Why did Dee visit her mother and sister?10) What is the mother’s feeling toward Dee? How is it changed in the course of the story?11) 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 up.Who 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, withmy 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. Never could carry a tune. I was always better at a man’s job. I used to l ove to milk till I was hooked in the side in ‘49. Cows are soothing and slow and don’t bother you, unless you try to milk them the wrong way.IV. Replace the following italicized words with more formal words or expressions:1) even though she has told me once that she thinks orchids are tacky flowers.2) like dimwits, w e seem to understand. ( )3) and hanging from his chin like a kinky mule tail ( )4) Impressed with her they worshiped her well-turned phrases5) I heard Maggie go “Uhnnnh” again. ( )6) It looks like Asalamalakim wants to shake hands but want to do it fancy. ( )7) “Well,” said Asalamalakim, “There you are.” ( )8) After I tripped over it two or three times he told me to just call him Hakim-a-barber. ( )9) “You must belong to the beef-cattle people down the road,” I said. ( )10) She talked a blue streak over the sweet potatoes. ( )V. Complete the following elliptical sentences:1) Dee, though.2) Never could carry a tune.3) Like when you see the wriggling end of a snake just in front of your foot on the road.4) Dee, next. A dress down to the ground, in this hot weather.5) Earrings gold, too, and hanging down to her shoulders.6) “No, Mama,” she says. “Not ‘Dee, ‘ Wangero Leewanika Kemanjo!”7) “Why shouldn’t I?” I asked.8)Always too busy: feeding the cattle, fixing the fences,putting up salt-lick shelters, throwing down the hay.9) “Uncle Buddy whittle that, too?” asked the barber.10) “Imagine!” she breathed again, clutching them to her bosom.Ⅵ. The following sentences all contain metaphors or similes. Ex-plain their meaning in plain, non-figurative language.1) I am the way my daughter would want me to be: ... my skin like an uncooked barley pancake.2) It seems to me I have talked to them always with one foot raised in flight.3) Impressed with her they worshiped her well-turned phrases,the cute shape, the scalding humor that erupted like bubbles in lye.4) He flew to marry a cheap city girl from a family of ignorant flashy people.5) And she stops and tries to dig a well in the sand with her toe.6) “Maggie’s brain is like an elephant’s,” Wangero said, laughing.7) You didn’t even have to look close to see where hands pushing the dasher up and down to make butter had left a kind of sink in the wood.8) “Mama, “ Wangero said, sweet as a bird.9) She gasped like a bee had stung her.10) It’s really a new day for us.VII. Explain how the meaning of the sentences is affected when the italicized words are replaced by the words in brackets. Pay attention to the shades of meaning of the words.1) It is like an extended living room. (large)2) She will stand hopelessly in corners, homely and ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs. (helplessly, embarrassed by)3) Dee and I are suddenly brought together on a TV program of this sort. (like this one)4) Out of a dark and soft-seated limousine I am ushered into a bright room filled with many people. (car)5) Furtive boys in pink shirts hanging about on washday after school. (sly)6) Bracelets dangling and making noises when she moves her arms up to shake the folds of the dress out of her armpits. (hanging)7) After dinner Dee (Wangero) went to the trunk at the foot of my bed and started rifling through it. (suitcase, searching)8) “Imagine!” she breathed again, clutching them closely to her bosom. (breathed) VIII. The following are rhetorical questions requiring no answers.Turn them into statements without changing the main ideas.1) A pleasant surprise, of course: What would they do if parent and child came on the show only to curse out and insult each other?2) Who ever knew a Johnson with a quick tongue?3) Who can ever imagine me looking a strange white man in the eye?4) Why don’t you do a dance around the ashes?5) “Why don’t you take one or two of the others?” I asked.IX.

高英II-3课文后练习+答案:I. Write short notes on: Carlyle, and Lamb.Suggested Reference Books[SRB]1. The Oxford Companion to English Literature2. any standard book on the history of English literature3. Encyclopaedia BritannicaSee Additional Background Material for Teachers' Reference, points 6 and 71. Carlyle : Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), English essayist and historian born at Ecclefechan,a village of the Scotch lowlands. After graduating from the University of Edinburgh, he rejected the ministry, for which he had been intended, and determined to he a writer of hooks. In 1826 he married Jane Welsh, a well-informed and ambitious woman who did much to further his career. They moved to Jane' s farm at Craigenputtoeh where they lived for 6 years (1828-1834 ). During this time he produced Sartor Resartus (1833-1834), a book in which he first developed his char- acteristic style and thought. This book is a veiled sardonic attack upon the shams and pretences of society, upon hollow rank, hollow officialism, hollow custom, out of which life and usefulness have departed. In 1837 he published The French Revolution, a poetic rendering and not a factual account of the great event in history. Besides these two masterpieces, he wrote Chartism (1840), On Heroes, hero Worship, and the Heroic in History (I841), Past and Present (1843) and others. "Carlylese", a peculiar style of his own, was a compound of biblical phrases, col loquialisms, Teutonic twists, and his own coinings, arranged in unexpected sequences. One of the most important social critics of his day, Carlyle influenced many men of the younger generation, among them were Mathew Arnold and Ruskin.2. Lamb : Charles Lamb (1775-1834), English essayist, was born in London and brought up within the precincts of the ancient law courts, his father being a servant to an advocate of the inner Temple. He went to school at Christ's Hospital, where he had for a classmate Coleridge, his life-long friend. At seventeen, he became a clerk in the India House and here he worked for 33 years until he was re-tired on a pension. His devotion to his sister Mary, upon whom rested an hereditary taint of insanity, has done al-most as much as the sweetness and gentle humor of his writings to endear his name. They collaborated on several books for children, publishing in 1867 their famous Tales from Shakespeare. His dramatic essays, Specimens of English Dramatic Poets (1808), established his reputation as a critic and did much in reviving the popularity of Eliza-be then drama. The Essays of Ella, published at intervals in London Magazine, were gathered together and republished in two series, the first in 1823, the second ten years later. They established Lamb in the title which he still holds, that of the most delightful of English essayists. II. Questions on content:1. What, according to the writer, makes good conversation? What spoils it?A good conversation does not really start from anywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go.A good conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument is not to convince. When people become serious and talk as if they have something very important to say, when they argue to convince or to win their point, the conversation is spoilt.2. Why does the writer like"bar conversation" so much?The writer likes bar conversation very much because he has spent a lot of time in pubs and is used to this kind of conversation.

He is against any form of cultural barrier or the cultural humiliation of any section or group of people.7.

The term "the King's English" is the more common form because the ruling monarch is generally a king. Those who are not very particular may use the term "the King's English", even when the ruling monarch is a queen. In 1602, Dekker used the term "the King's English", although the reigning monarch was still Queen Elizabeth.8.

What does the writer mean when he says, "the King's English, like the Anglo-French of the Normans, is a class representation of reality" ? (para 16)During the Norman period,the ruling class spoke Anglo-French while the peasants spoke their native Saxon language.Language bears the stamp of the class that uses it.The King’s English today refers to the language used by the upper,educated class in England.III. Questions on appreciation:1. In what way is "pub talk" connected with "the King's English''? Is the title of the piece well chosen?The title of this piece is not well chosen.It misleads the readers into thinking that the writer is going to demonstrate some intrinsic or linguistic relationship between pub talk and the King’s English.Whereas the writer.in reality,is just discoursing on what makes good conversation.The King’s English is connected with “pub talk” when the writer describes the charming conversation he had with some people one evening in a pub on the topic “the King’s English”to illustrate hispoint that bar conversation in a pub has a charm of its own.2. Point out the literary and historical allusions used in this piece and comment on their use.1n this essay the writer alluded to many historical and literary event such as the Norman conquest,the saloons of 18th century Paris,and the words of many a man of letters.For a short expository essay like this,the allusions used are more than expected and desirable.3. What is the function of para 5?

There are cattle in the fields, but we sit down to beef (boeuf). (para 9)These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields;but when we sit down at the table to eat, we call their meat beef.7.

高英U i n o v e i s精选l l课后练习答案HUA system office room 【HUA16H-TTMS2A-HUAS8Q8-HUAH1688】Ⅱ.B.Q u e s t i o n s o n S t r u c t u r e a n d S t y l e: 1. The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate that logic, far from being a dry, pedantic subject, is a living, breathing thing, full of beauty, passion, and trauma. Logic may be an interesting subject. The writer is exaggeratingfor the sake of humor. The writer employs a whole variety of writing techniques to make his story vivid, dramatic and colorful. The lexical spectrum is colorful from the ultra learned terms used by the conceited narrator to the infra clipped vulgar forms of Polly Espy. He uses figurative language profusely and also grammatic inversion for special emphasis. The speed of the narration is maintained by the use of short sentences, elliptical sentences and dashes throughout the story. This mix adds to the realism of the story.2. The topic sentence of paragraph 47 is : He was a torn man. The writer develops the idea expressed in the topic sentence by describing vividly how hard it is for Petey Burch to choose between his girlfriend and raccoon coat. Being very observant and superbly to illustrative examples to develop the theme, the writer successfully to brings forth the scene in which Petey Burch’s desire for the raccoon coat waxes and his resolution not to give his girlfriend wanes. The reader can easily come to the conclusion that it is hard and painful decision for him to make.3. The narrator refers to Pygmalion and Frankenstein because just as Pygmalion loved the perfect woman he fashioned, the narrator loved Polly Espy, who he had fashioned according to his plan. However, when he begged Polly’s love, he was rejected. He got same result as Frankenstein, who created a monster that destroyed him. In this sense, these allusion are chosen aptly. The whole thing backfired on the narrator when Polly employed all the “logical fallacies”she had been taught to reject his offer. The end of story finds that the narrator has got what he deserves. He has been too clever for his own.4. An example of simileMy brain was as powerful as dynamo,as precise as a chemist’s scales, as penetrating as a scalpel.(comparing his brain to three different things)(para. 1)An example of metaphorThere follows an informal essay that ventures even beyond lamb’sfrontier.(comparing the limitation set by lamb to a frontier)(author’s note) An example of hyperboleIt is not often that one so young has such a giant intellect.(hyperbole for effect)(para. 2)An example of metonymyOtherwise you have committed a Dicto Simpliciter.(Otherwise you have committed a logical fallacy called a “Dicto Simpliciter”.)(para. 70)An example of antithesisIt is, after all, easier to make a beautiful dumb girl smart than to make a ugly smart girl beautiful.(“beautiful, dumb and smart” are balanced against “ugly, smart and beautiful”)(para.24)5. Colloquialisms and used in the text: dumb, pin-up, kid, go steady, date, casual kick, well-heeled, laughs, terrific, magnificent, mad, call it a night, yummy, fire away. Darn.Slang used in the text: nothing upstairs, keen, dal, knock (oneself) out, dreamy, how cute,rat, knot head, jitterbug.6.A freshman at a law school is made the narrator of the whole stroy. It’s from his point of view that the stroy is told. Since the whole stroy is presented as his personal experiences, we the readers tend to rely on what narrator tells us.Ⅲ. Paraphrase1.He is a nice enough young fellow, you know, but he is empty-headed.2.A passing fashion or craze, in my opinion, shoes a complete lack of reason.3.I ought to have known that raccoon coat would come back to fashion when the Charleston dance, which was popular in the 1920s, came back4.All the important and fashionable men on campus are wearing them. How come you don’t know?5.6.My brain, which is a precision instrument, began to work at a high speed.7.Except for one thing (intelligence) polly had all other requirements.8.She was not as beautiful as those girls in posters but i felt sure she would become beautiful enough after some time.9.In fact, she was in the opposite direction, that is, she is not intelligent but rather stupid.10.If you are no longer involved with her (if you stop dating her) others would be free to compete to get her as a girlfriend.11.His head turned back and forth (looking at the coat then looking away from the coat). Every time he looked his desire for the coat grew stronger and his resolution not to give away polly become weaker.12.To teach her to think appeared to be rather big task.13.One must admit the outcome does not look very hopeful, but i decided totry one more time.14.There is a limit to what any human being can bear.15.I planned to be Pygmalion, to fashion an ideal wife for myself, but iturned out to be Frankenstein because polly(the result/product of my hard work) ultimately rejected me and ruined my plan.16.Desperately i tried to stop the feeling of panic that was overwhelming me.Ⅳ.

高英U i n o v e i s精选l l课后练习答案HUA system office room 【HUA16H-TTMS2A-HUAS8Q8-HUAH1688】Ⅱ.B.Q u e s t i o n s o n S t r u c t u r e a n d S t y l e: 1. The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate that logic, far from being a dry, pedantic subject, is a living, breathing thing, full of beauty, passion, and trauma. Logic may be an interesting subject. The writer is exaggeratingfor the sake of humor. The writer employs a whole variety of writing techniques to make his story vivid, dramatic and colorful. The lexical spectrum is colorful from the ultra learned terms used by the conceited narrator to the infra clipped vulgar forms of Polly Espy. He uses figurative language profusely and also grammatic inversion for special emphasis. The speed of the narration is maintained by the use of short sentences, elliptical sentences and dashes throughout the story. This mix adds to the realism of the story.2. The topic sentence of paragraph 47 is : He was a torn man. The writer develops the idea expressed in the topic sentence by describing vividly how hard it is for Petey Burch to choose between his girlfriend and raccoon coat. Being very observant and superbly to illustrative examples to develop the theme, the writer successfully to brings forth the scene in which Petey Burch’s desire for the raccoon coat waxes and his resolution not to give his girlfriend wanes. The reader can easily come to the conclusion that it is hard and painful decision for him to make.3. The narrator refers to Pygmalion and Frankenstein because just as Pygmalion loved the perfect woman he fashioned, the narrator loved Polly Espy, who he had fashioned according to his plan. However, when he begged Polly’s love, he was rejected. He got same result as Frankenstein, who created a monster that destroyed him. In this sense, these allusion are chosen aptly. The whole thing backfired on the narrator when Polly employed all the “logical fallacies”she had been taught to reject his offer. The end of story finds that the narrator has got what he deserves. He has been too clever for his own.4. An example of simileMy brain was as powerful as dynamo,as precise as a chemist’s scales, as penetrating as a scalpel.(comparing his brain to three different things)(para. 1)An example of metaphorThere follows an informal essay that ventures even beyond lamb’sfrontier.(comparing the limitation set by lamb to a frontier)(author’s note) An example of hyperboleIt is not often that one so young has such a giant intellect.(hyperbole for effect)(para. 2)An example of metonymyOtherwise you have committed a Dicto Simpliciter.(Otherwise you have committed a logical fallacy called a “Dicto Simpliciter”.)(para. 70)An example of antithesisIt is, after all, easier to make a beautiful dumb girl smart than to make a ugly smart girl beautiful.(“beautiful, dumb and smart” are balanced against “ugly, smart and beautiful”)(para.24)5. Colloquialisms and used in the text: dumb, pin-up, kid, go steady, date, casual kick, well-heeled, laughs, terrific, magnificent, mad, call it a night, yummy, fire away. Darn.Slang used in the text: nothing upstairs, keen, dal, knock (oneself) out, dreamy, how cute,rat, knot head, jitterbug.6.A freshman at a law school is made the narrator of the whole stroy. It’s from his point of view that the stroy is told. Since the whole stroy is presented as his personal experiences, we the readers tend to rely on what narrator tells us.Ⅲ. Paraphrase1.He is a nice enough young fellow, you know, but he is empty-headed.2.A passing fashion or craze, in my opinion, shoes a complete lack of reason.3.I ought to have known that raccoon coat would come back to fashion when the Charleston dance, which was popular in the 1920s, came back4.All the important and fashionable men on campus are wearing them.

Every time he looked his desire for the coat grew stronger and his resolution not to give away polly become weaker.11.To teach her to think appeared to be rather big task.12.One must admit the outcome does not look very hopeful, but i decided totry one more time.13.There is a limit to what any human being can bear.14.I planned to be Pygmalion, to fashion an ideal wife for myself, but iturned out to be Frankenstein because polly(the result/product of my hard work) ultimately rejected me and ruined my plan.15.Desperately i tried to stop the feeling of panic that was overwhelming me.Ⅳ.
