Grandma asked Grandpa if he had remembered nibbling her earbefore their marriage.___F___ 5. Grandpa’s false teeth dropped out with his hearty laugh.8. Directions: Listen to the following talk and fill in the blanks with the missingwords. The talk is given twice.Can you recite the alphabet(字母表) easily and quickly? Can youwrite your name easily? Can you play scales(音阶) on a musical instrument?You would probably say that you memorized all this. But what you actually did was to learn them. And the way you learned them was by forming a habit! In other words, what was once quite difficult for you, such as reciting the alphabet orplaying scales, became easy and almost automatic when you formed the habit ofdoing it. So memory can be described as learning by means of forming habits.A human being has a tremendous(巨大的) number of such habits that enablehim to do most of the ordinary things in life, such as fastening buttons or washing hands. But suppose you read a book and then someone asked you what the book was about, or how to describe the plot(情节). Surely, your response cannot be said to come from habit.But if you examine the situation carefully, you will see that something very much like habit does play a part. For example, with ordinary habits, you learn howto put certain elements together in the proper order. Now, when you give the plot ofa book, or tell what it’s about, you are doing the same kind of thing. In fact, some psychologists say that all learning (and this also means memory) is made up of avast combination of simple habits.9. Directions: Listen to the talk again and then answer thefollowing questionsorally.1. What would people say about doing things easily hand quickly in life?They would probably say that people had memorized how to do them.2. What can memory be described as, according to the talk?It can be described as learning by means of forming habits.3. What can habits do?They enable us to do most of the ordinary things in life.4. What are you actually doing while describing the plot of book?You are making sue of something that is very much like habit.5. What question do you think the speaker is trying to answer?What is memory?10. Directions: Have a discussion on the topic given below.How important is memory to learning?。

21世纪大学实用英语综合教程(第二册)课文翻译及课后习题答案unit1Unit 1误会佚名他头发蓬乱,衣着肮脏,口袋里只有35美分。
在马里兰州的巴尔的摩,他登上一辆公共汽车并径直走向了洗手间。
他想如果他躲在洗手间里,便可以不付钱就乘车去纽约。
但是坐在公共汽车后面的一位乘客看见了他。
她拍了拍她前面那位乘客的肩膀说:“洗手间里有个流浪汉。
告诉公共汽车司机。
”那位乘客轻轻地拍了一下坐在他前面的人,说道:“告诉公共汽车司机,洗手间里有个流浪汉。
这口信通过一个又一个的乘客传到了公共汽车的前边。
但在这一过程的某个环节,口信变了。
当它传到公共汽车司机那儿时,已经不是“洗手间里有个流浪汉”,而是“洗手间里有颗炸弹”。
司机马上在公路边停下车来并用无线电通知了警察。
当警察到达时,他们让乘客下车并且远离汽车。
然后他们关闭了那条公路。
那很快就造成了15英里长的交通堵塞。
警察在警犬的帮助下,在公共汽车上搜查了两个小时。
当然,他们没有发现什么炸弹。
两个发音相似的英语单词给一个想从洛杉矶飞往加利福尼亚州奥克兰的人也造成了麻烦。
他的问题始于洛杉矶机场。
他以为听到广播中宣布了他的航班,所以他走向登机门,出示了机票并登上了飞机。
起飞20分钟后,这人开始担心起来。
奥克兰在洛杉矶的北边,但是飞机似乎正在向西飞,而当他向窗外望去时,他所能看到的全是大海。
“这架飞机是去奥克兰吗”他问航班服务员。
航班服务员倒抽了一口冷气,“不,”她说。
“我们去奥克兰——新西兰的奥克兰。
”因为有这么多英文单词发音相似,讲英语者之间的误会并不罕见。
并非所有的误会都会导致公路关闭或乘客飞错大陆。
大多数误会远没有这么严重。
每天讲英语的人会相互问这样的问题:“你是说七十还是十七”“你是说你能来还是不能来”发音相似的单词对把英语作为第二语言的人来说,特别容易让人混淆。
一天早晨,一位生活在美国的韩国妇女到上班地点时,她的老板问她:“你拿到盘子了吗” “没有……”她回答说,心里却在纳闷,不知道他到底是什么意思。

The magazine wanted to show some of the heroic work of the firefighters as they battled the blaze.When the photographer arrived, he realized that the smoke was so thick that it would make it impossible for him to photograph anything from ground level.He requested permission to rent a plane and take photos from the air. His request was approved, and arrangements were made. He was told to report to a nearby airport, where a plane would be waiting for him.He arrived at the airport and saw a plane warming up near the gate.He jumped in with his bag and shouted, “Let’s go!”The pilot swung the little plane into the wind, and within minutes they were in the air.The photographer said, “Fly over the park and make two or three low passes so I can take some pictures.”“Why?” asked the pilot.“Because I am a photographer,”he responded, “and photographers take photographs.”The pilot was silent for a moment; finally he stammered, “Y ou mean you’re not the flight instructor?”__T__ 1. The photographer was sent to cover the fires at Y ellowstone National Park. __F__ 2. When he arrived there, the photographer did not know what to do because the smoke was so thick.__ T__ 3. The photographer went to a nearby airport to rent a plane to take photos from the air.___F__ 4. The photographer jumped into the plane and flew it over the park.__ T__ 5. The photographer acted like a flight instructor while taking photos over the park.8. Directions: Listen to the following talk and fill in the blanks with the missingwords. The talk is given twice.In trying to explain the existence of the complicated body structures we see in living things around us, a theory of evolution (进化) has been developed.While most scientists accept this theory, many people do not. They feel it goes against what is written in the Bible (圣经).This theory is that all the plants and animals in the world today have developed in a natural way from earlier forms that were simpler. These earlier forms developed from still simpler ancestors (祖先), and so on back through millions of years to the very beginning when life was in its simplest form,merely a tiny mass of jellylike (胶状的) protoplasm (原生质).In trying to prove that evolution did take place, scientists depend on three chief “signs.”One of these is the study of fossil (化石) remains of animals and plants of past ages. Some of these fossils seem to trace the step of evolution at work. Fossil remains of primitive (原始的) men have been found that go back toa time 1,000,000 years ago. Fossils of certain crablike (似蟹的) animals go backnearly 500,000,000 years. These fossils show that fish developed in the waters of the earth before amphibians (两栖动物), amphibians before reptiles (爬行动物), reptiles before birds, and so on. Scientists believe this proves life has progressed from one form to another .9. Directions: Listen to the talk again and then answer the following questions orally.1.Why do complicated body structures exist according toscientists?Because of evolution.2. Why is the theory of evolution acceptable to most scientists?Because it proves that all the plants and animals in the world today have developed in a natural way from earlier forms that were simpler.3. Why do scientists study fossil remains?Because they can prove that evolution did take place.4. What do these fossils show?That fish developed in the waters of the earth before amphibians, amphibians before reptiles, reptiles before birds, and so on.5. What is the theory of evolution?A theory that proves that life has progressed from one form to another.10. Directions: Have a discussion on the topic given below.It is more important to raise questions than to answer them.。

”那位乘客轻轻地拍了一下坐在他前面的人,说道:“告诉公共汽车司机,洗手间里有个流浪汉。
这口信通过一个又一个的乘客传到了公共汽车的前边。
但在这一过程的某个环节,口信变了。
当它传到公共汽车司机那儿时,已经不是“洗手间里有个流浪汉”,而是“洗手间里有颗炸弹”。
司机马上在公路边停下车来并用无线电通知了警察。
当警察到达时,他们让乘客下车并且远离汽车。
然后他们关闭了那条公路。
那很快就造成了15英里长的交通堵塞。
警察在警犬的帮助下,在公共汽车上搜查了两个小时。
当然,他们没有发现什么炸弹。
两个发音相似的英语单词给一个想从洛杉矶飞往加利福尼亚州奥克兰的人也造成了麻烦。
他的问题始于洛杉矶机场。
他以为听到广播中宣布了他的航班,所以他走向登机门,出示了机票并登上了飞机。
起飞20分钟后,这人开始担心起来。
奥克兰在洛杉矶的北边,但是飞机似乎正在向西飞,而当他向窗外望去时,他所能看到的全是大海。
“这架飞机是去奥克兰吗?”他问航班服务员。
航班服务员倒抽了一口冷气,“不,”她说。
“我们去奥克兰——新西兰的奥克兰。
”因为有这么多英文单词发音相似,讲英语者之间的误会并不罕见。
并非所有的误会都会导致公路关闭或乘客飞错大陆。
大多数误会远没有这么严重。
每天讲英语的人会相互问这样的问题:“你是说七十还是十七?”“你是说你能来还是不能来?”发音相似的单词对把英语作为第二语言的人来说,特别容易让人混淆。
一天早晨,一位生活在美国的韩国妇女到上班地点时,她的老板问她:“你拿到盘子了吗?” “没有……”她回答说,心里却在纳闷,不知道他到底是什么意思。
她在办公室工作。
老板为什么问她盘子的事呢?一整天她都对老板的怪问题感到纳闷,但又不好意思开口问他。

21世纪大学实用英语综合教程(第二册)课文翻译及课后习题答案unit 2
Unit 2认错人(改编)马克•吐温几年前的一天,我来到萨拉曼卡——纽约附近的一个火车站。
我计划在那儿搭乘卧车。
站台上都是人,他们涌入长长的卧车,把列车挤得满满的。
我问售票处的人能否买两张票,但他厉声回答说:“没票!”然后冲着我的脸关上了窗。
这真是对我尊严的莫大打击,然而我又需要这两张车票。
我找到一位地方官员,问他能否在卧铺车厢的某个地方找个可怜的小角落;但他猛然打断了我,厉声说道:“没有,找不到。
每个角落都挤满了。
好了,不要再来烦我了。
”说完,他便不理我而走开了。
我没料到他会这样对待我,我的尊严处于一种难以描述的状况。
我对同伴说:“他们这样对我讲话是因为他们不知道我是谁。
”可我的同伴却说:“别说这种傻话了。
即便他们知道你是谁,你觉得这能帮你在没有空座的火车上搞到座位吗?”说完他也不理我了。
这太过分了。
我找到刚才那个官员,非常有礼貌地告诉他我叫马克•吐温,我是否能——但他又一次打断了我:“我已经告诉过你不要再来烦我了。
”接着又不再理我了。
我无助地环顾四周,发现我的同伴目睹了整个经过。
我感到的耻辱无法用语言形容。
我说:“或许他没有听到我的名字。
”但我的同伴却不这么认为,他说:“他肯定清楚地听到你的名字了,只不过他不在乎罢了,就是这么回事。
”我不知道接下去会发生什么,但就在这时候,我注意到一个年轻的卧车行李搬运工正在跟列车员窃窃私语,并朝着我点头。
那个列车员随即转过身,毕恭毕敬地向我走来。
“我能为您效劳吗,先生?”他说道,“您要在卧车上找个空位吗?”“呃,当然,”我回答说,“可我问过站台上那个人,他说每个角落都塞满了,还叫我不要烦他。
”“不会吧,先生,我简直不敢相信他说了这样的话。
简直无法想象有人竟然这样对您说话,先生!我很抱歉,先生,但您一定是误会他了。
我们什么空地方都没了,只剩下那个大的家庭包房,里面有两个铺位和几把扶手椅,但这一切都供您享用。
过来,汤姆,把这些箱子搬上车!”搬运工拿了我们的小提箱,我们则上了车。
