In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing.

It is 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 Learning about EnglishText A The Glorious Messiness of EnglishI.

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.。

The village square, once throbbing with life, was now deserted.。

Though how the English language came into existence remains amystery to many people，linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a mon 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.★ Text Bprehension Check:cccdbdLanguage Practice1. gedcbhfa2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5) intransition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) had contributed to11) unique12) rid yourself ofUnit 8VocabularyI. 1) barking 2) evil 3) brooding, hatched 4) migrant 5) tragedies 6) counterpart7) are plaining/plain 8) grim 9) flocks, fed on 10) vegetation 11) patches 12) Scores of2. 1) was lined with people who came to wele the distinguished foreign guests2) the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office3) wearing a pair of sun glasses,the famous movie star passed the crowded unnoticed.4) looked deserted 5) were stricken by it3. 1) patches, came into full bloom, were puzzled, mysterious2) throbbed with, sickened, migrant, a chorus 3) had crept into.

全新版大学英语综合教程2第二版课后习题答案
Unit 1Key to ExercisesPart I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nave a code that you can live by.And so, become yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lather's hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks,the one you'll mow by.Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just lookat them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I - 93 -And you, oi tender years,Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks,tbe one you'll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So justlook at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, "a code diat you can live by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and "become yourself." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children — "you of tender years" — also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children should share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such moments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.Part II Text AText Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2)His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3)He winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of a question.1.

You can't accomplish yourgoal of mastering the language unless you work at it for years. Well, it sounds as ifI'm exaggerating the difficulties, but the fact is I'm only telling the truth.2)The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of the children. Fromwhat she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. Shehas just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they applyto both Chinese and overseas teachers.3)The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art representtwo extremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected toeffectively assist children in learning because of the rigid structure. On the otherhand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totallyunstructured and out of control. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guidedapproach would be a superior way to guide children's development. This approachcombines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.

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.。

Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to manypeople，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.★Text BComprehension Check: c c c d b dLanguage Practice1. g e d c b h f a2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5) in transition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) had contributed to 11) unique12) rid yourself ofUnit 8VocabularyI. 1) barking 2) evil 3) brooding, hatched 4) migrant 5) tragedies 6) counterpart7) are complaining/complain 8) grim 9) flocks, fed on 10) vegetation11) patches 12) Scores of2. 1) was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreign guests2) the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office3) wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed the crowded unnoticed.4) looked deserted 5) were stricken by i t3. 1) patches, came into full bloom, were puzzled, mysterious2) throbbed with, sickened, migrant, a chorus 3) had crept into.

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.Unit8 Protecting Our Environment VocabularyI 1.1)barking2)evil3)brooding;hatched 4)migrant 5)tragedies6)counterpart7)arecomplaining/co-mplain8)grim9)flocks; fed on10)vegetation11)patches12)Scores of2.1)was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreignguests.2)the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office.3)wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed thecrowed unnoticed.4)looked deserted.5)were stricken by it.3.1)patches; came into full bloom; were puzzled; mysterious2)throbbed with; sickened; migrant; a chorus3)had crept into; flickered; the starkII.Word Formation1.Compound words age-oldair force daughter-in-law first-rate greenhousehalf brother ice-cream lifelikelight year salespersonself-centered threefold overusestone-stillworldwideChinese meaning古老的空军儿媳妇一流的温室同母异父兄弟；同父异母兄弟冰淇淋逼真的光年售货员；推销员以自己为中心的，自私的三倍过度使用石头似的一动不动全世界围的；在世界围2.1)poverty-stricken people2)heart-breaking news3)newly-built database4)well-fed kids 5)successful spacewalk6)peace-loving people7)need-based scholarships8)color-blind peopleIII.Confusable Words1.lyingidyin5.liey7.lieyy10.liesComprehensive Exercises I.cloze1.(1)spell(2)stricken(3)misfortunes(4)surroundings(5)blossom/bloom(6)migrant (7)deserted(8)silence(9)sickened(10)hatch(11)puzzled(12)in harmony with2.(1)rate(2)publication(3)dangerous(4)banned (5)export(6)profit(7)accept(8)comprehend(9)boundaries(10)ultimatelyII.Translation1.1)This is a prosperous town, but there is still poverty in the midstof wealth and abundance.2)The Brown family was stricken with one misfortune after another,but their children never complained.3)The museum is designed in such a way that it stands in perfectharmony with its surroundings.4)It was a miracle that these flowers did not wither at all in theblazing sun.5)Flocks of sheep feed on the patches of vegetation that rise abovethe winter snow.2.This village was once famous for its beautiful natural surroundings.
