综合英语教程第三版(邹为诚)unit1响尾蛇伤我们在西波顿种植西瓜和香瓜供应市场。
我家有一块瓜地和花圃在紧靠甘蔗地的谷仓背后。
一天,我从工具棚里拿了把镰刀想去砍个西瓜自己吃。
他们是不许我拿这把刀的,因为它的刀刃比我的胳膊还长。
但它是切西瓜的最好工具。
一刀下去,西瓜就一分为二了。
我正沿着瓜地边走边拍打着想找一个熟瓜,突然感觉脚好像被针一样的东西扎了一下。
我为是踩在一堆蒺藜草上了。
转眼一看,却发现是一条响尾蛇。
我知道响尾蛇在袭击之前都要发出响声以示警告的,而我对那响声的熟悉程度决不亚于我熟悉鹌鹑。
后来我才明白它是没有时间警告,我肯定是一脚踩在它的嘴巴上了。
我边往家飞奔,边大声喊叫,满脑子想的都是自己肯定要死了。

她扶我到前屋的沙发上躺下,让玛莎照看我。
当时在场的既没有一个男人也没有一匹马。

妈妈冲向安德森家。
安德森的一个儿子跳上马就直奔城里,在安德森家打工的克拉克的儿子用车把妈妈送回家。
回到家,妈妈发现围裙带已被玛莎解开了,因为我直叫系得太紧。
妈妈给我重新绑上,她用力很猛以致于我失声叫了起来。
然后,妈妈又到门廊朝那条通往城里的路张望。
这条路位于安德森和豪威尔两家领地中间,一直延伸到小山顶端,因此从这里你可以看见所有路过的人或物。

这时,如果得到允许,汤姆就会因为急于吃到马槽里的东西而撒腿跑起来,爸爸也总是允许它这么做的。
赫伯·安德森的意见是首先找爸爸,如果他不在就找麦肯斯医生,再不成就找菲尔德或别的医生。

新标准大学英语综合教程3课后练习答案-Unit-3
Unit 3Language points1 For lack of a better terminology, one might name these: (1) the sensuous plane, (2) the expressive plane, (3) the sheerly musical plane. (Para 1) The expression for lack of a better terminology is used to introduce rather inexact terms. It means since we don’t have any exact terms, I’m going to use these rather rough terms.The word sensuous suggests physical pleasure which relates to your physical senses rather than to your emotions and thoughts.A plane is a level of thought, development or existence.The word sheer is used to emphasize the amount or degree of something. The sheerly musical plane refers to the level of the musical material, melodies, rhythms, harmonies etc. The sheer pleasure (Para 2, Line 2) means great or pure pleasure.2 The only advantage to be gained from mechanically splitting up the listening process into these hypothetical planes is … (Para 1)The word hypothetical means to be based on situations or events that seem possible rather than on actual ones. Here, the planes are not real, theyare just part of a model for analysis and discussion.3 One turns on the radio while doing something else and absent-mindedly bathes in the sound. A kind of brainless but attractive state of mind is engendered by the mere sound appeal of the music. (Para 2)To bathe means to swim or wash yourself in a bath, river or lake. To bathein the sound means to immerse yourself in the sound, like in water.To engender means to cause a feeling or attitude to exist. The expression engendered by the mere sound appeal means to be created only by the appealor attraction of the sound.4 Music allows them to leave it ... dreaming because of and apropos of the music yet never quite listening to it. (Para 3)The expression apropos of means relating to; it is used to introduce something else about the subject you are talking about. The expression is derived from French, and the final -s is silent in pronunciation.5 ... but you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share of your interest. The sensuous plane is an important one in music ... but it does not constitute the whole story. (Para 4)To usurp means to take a job or position that belongs to someone elsewithout having the right to do this.The sentence you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share of your interest means don’t let it take up a wrong amount of your interest. The expression it does not constitute the whole story means there is more to it than this.6 Here, immediately, we tread on controversial ground. (Para 5)The expression we tread on controversial ground contains a metaphor: These are ideas that some people will probably disagree about or not approve of.7 Composers have a way of shying away from any discussion of music’s expressive side. (Para 5)To shy away from something means to avoid someone or be unwilling to do something because you are nervous, afraid or not confident.8 Is it pessimistically sad or resignedly sad; is it fatefully sad or smilingly sad? (Para 6)The word resignedly means with resignation, accepting that something unpleasant must happen or that you cannot change it. The whole sentence gives nuances – shades of meaning – of different kinds of sadness: sadness which has a feeling of pessimism (things are bad and we can’t change them easily), sadness to which we may feel resigned – we accept it, sadness that we feel is part of our fate –we can’t avoid it and it is part of our life, and sadness that also has humour, so we smile even though we feel sad.9 It is very important for all of us to become more alive to music on its sheerly musical plane. (Para 9)To become / be alive to something means to know that something is happening and realize how important it is.10 After all, an actual musical material is being used ... He must hearthe melodies, the rhythms, the harmonies, the tone colors in a more conscious fashion. (Para 9)The musical materials refer to the elements of music, usually discussed under the headings of melody (the tune), rhythm (the effects of time or duration of the beats of music, the pulse), harmony (how the notes of music combine with each other in chords or sequences of notes), tone color (how the precise sound of notes can vary), and form (how the music is organized with all the elements and patterns of repetition and variation).11 Perhaps an analogy with what happens to us when we visit the theaterwill make this instinctive correlation clearer. (Para 11)An analogy is a comparison between two situations, processes etc, that isintended to show that the two are similar. That the two things are analogous means the same things are true of or relevant to both of them.Dealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 to make up or form something (constitute)2 happening or done at the same time (simultaneously)3 able to do something because you have the knowledge, skill, or experience that is needed (qualified)4 a regular pattern of sounds in music that you can show by moving, hitting your hands together, or hitting a drum or other surface (rhythm)5 to receive or obtain something from something else (derive)6 someone who writes music, especially classical music (composer)7 as much as is needed (sufficiently)5 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 4. Johann Sebastian Bach is possibly the greatest (1) composer the world has ever known. His Well-Tempered Clavichord (2) constitutes one of the most complete works for keyboard ever written. It is (3) simultaneously both a series of technical exercises which explore the possibilities of the keyboard, and a masterpiece of expressive feeling. Although he was a highly (4) qualified musician (as an organist and a choirmaster), he was not considered to be (5) sufficiently “modern” by the generation which followed him, and he was soon forgotten. But his music was rediscovered in the 19th century, for its perfect sense of (6) rhythm and harmony. Indeed, many of the great composers of the 20th century, such as Stravinsky, (7) derived a lot of their musical ideas from him.6 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words and expressions in the box. You may need to make other changes.1 Shh! They’re about to announce the winner of this year’s International Piano Competition. (proclaim)2 It’s quite easy t o make a comparison between poetry and music. (analogy) It’s quite easy to make an analogy between poetry and music.3 We are amazed by her ability to express herself with great clearness and simplicity. (clarity)4 How many artists have given up everything for the cause of their art?(for the sake of)5 Internet emerges as a powerful and effective force in advertising new products. (potent)6 I enjoyed the performance, but I thought the clothes the actors were wearing were a bit silly. (costumes)7 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.1 If you split something up, do you (a) divide it into parts, or (b) put the parts together?2 If you do something absent-mindedly, are you (a) thinking about what you are doing, or (b) thinking about something else?3 Do you look for consolation (a) after a piece of bad news, or (b) after a piece of good news?4 If you are treading on controversial ground, are you (a) taking a risk, or (b) making everybody happy?5 If you shy away from something, do you (a) keep close to it, or (b) keep your distance from it?6 If you pin something down, are you (a) able to examine it carefully, or(b) unable to examine it carefully?7 If you know the melody of a piece of music, are you familiar with (a) the tune, or (b) the meaning of the music?8 Is an instinctive reaction to something (a) automatic, or (b) one which follows a lot of thought?Reading and interpreting8 Work in pairs and choose the best answer to the questions.1 Which is the writer’s main purpose?(a) To show how complex listening to music is.(b) To get people to listen to music more.(c) To discourage some people from listening to music.(d) To get people to think about how they listen to music.2 Who does the writer address as you?(a) Musicians.(b) Theatregoers.(c) Composers.(d) Intelligent music lovers.9 Check (¸) the statements you agree with.√ 1 The analysis the writer makes is a fair and accurate one.Yes, I think this is a reasonable analysis of listening to music.2 He describes the sensuous listener in negative terms.He does mention some negative aspects of sensuous listening but he says several times that we listen in all three ways, so I don’t think he is actually negative about this way.√ 3 He thinks all great music is expressive.He doesn’t actually say this, but this seems to be his point of view.4 He thinks most listeners are not intelligent enough.No, he doesn’t say this. He says most listeners are not conscious enoughof the third plane, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t intelligent.√ 5 He is probably a professional musician.I guess this is true because of his knowledge of Stravinsky and Bach, andhis insights into the effective way of listening to music.√ 6 He is probably a good teacher.I think so because of his way of explaining the three planes and because of the way he uses the analogy of the theatre, which non-musician might appreciate.Active reading (2)Language points1 We know his work includes paintings of religious and mythological themes, domestic interiors and landscapes. (Para 2)Domestic interiors are the inside of households with the rooms, furniture and decorations.Landscapes are paintings of an area of land, showing the scenery sometimes with people but the focus mostly on nature.2 While Griet goes about her duties, she attracts the attention not onlyof a butcher’s boy, Pieter, but also of the painter himself. (Para 6)To go about her duties means to do the work that she is supposed to do. Being on duty means to be working at the moment; being off duty means to be not working at the moment.3 Despite their different backgrounds and class, he invites her into his studio and engages her in his world. (Para 6)To engage her in his world means to help her to take an interest,understand or take part in what he does.4 Vermeer recognizes Griet as having visual talent and artistic promise,and takes her on as his studio assistant. (Para 7)The expression she has artistic promise means she shows the sign that sheis likely to be successful as an artist in the future.5 Her role is to grind paints and develop the colours which Vermeer willuse for his paintings ...(Para 7)To grind paints means to break something into very small pieces or powderby crushing it between two surfaces or using a machine. In Vermeer’s time, artists made their own paints by grinding up different colours and mixingthe powder with water or other substances. This task was often done by an apprentice or assistant.6 Catharina has long been forbidden to enter the studio, so the apprenticeship takes place in secret. (Para 7)The apprenticeship refers to employment as an apprentice to work for someone, or a company, usually for low pay, in order to learn the type of work they do. In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was normal for people to learn how to be an artist by serving as an apprenticeship.7 The film shows very effectively the tension ... for the portrait commissioned by his patron. (Para 12)To commission means to ask someone officially to do some work for you. Commissioning a work of ar t means asking the artist to produce a particularwork of art in exchange for payment Dealing with unfamiliar words 5 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 someone who looks at a picture, photograph, or piece of art (viewer)2 a painting, drawing or photograph of someone, especially of their faceonly (portrait)3 relating to people’s homes and family life (domestic)4 the inside part of something, especially a building or vehicle (interior)5 as a result (consequently)6 to start to employ someone or use their services (engage)7 to officially ask for a piece of work to be done for you (commission)6 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 5. In the beginning it was only the rich and famous who had their (1)portraits painted. But from the Renaissance onwards things changed. Firstly, the growing importance of the middle classes led many ordinary people to (2) commission paintings, often of members of their family. Secondly, artists became interested in showing scenes of (3) domestic life, set in the (4) interiors of ordinary houses, and (5) consequently they began to (6) engage ordinary people, such as servant girls, as models. Part of the mystery for(7) viewers today concerns the identity of these models, in masterpieces suc h as Leonardo’sMona Lisa and Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring.Additional activity7 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words and expressions in the box.1 He changed his religion from Protestantism and became a Catholic. (converted)2 One of the assistant’s jobs was to break into a powder the paints. (grind)3 The newspaper started to change the fact so that it was no longer true ever since it existed, and the localgovernment was definitely one of the victims. (distort)4 You do n’t have to make a hole in your ears to be able to wear these earrings. (pierce)5 The lives of artists have often been linked to shocking events and situations. (scandals)6 One of the most striking aspects of the painting is the turban she is wearing on her head. (features)7 I’ll finish the painting this evening, so from now until then you can have a break.

Audiovisual SupplementWatch the movie clip and answer the following questions.Script:Narrator: A German factory builds one of the world‘s most famous cars. The 911 is the icon of the sports car industry. It‘s the shape, it‘s the engine in the back, it‘s the feel it gives you, it‘s the emotion. The factory runs like a precision machine, building hundreds of engines a day. The product and our manufacturing process are one unit, and that‘s our secret of success. Automation, technology and skilled human labor combine to build 16 versions of the Porsche 911, including the 911 GT3.Questions:1. Where is the engine of the 911?In the back of the car.2. What‘s the secret of success of that factory?The product and their manufacturing process are one unit. Automation, technology and skilled human labor combine to build the Porsche 911. And the factory runs like a precision machine.II. Cultural Background1. Car culture has been a major niche lifestyle in America.2. In the 1950s, the post-war boom produced a generation of teenagers with enough income to buy their own cars. These cars became so much more than just modes of transportation. They were reflections of a lifestyle. The ability to tune and soup-up muscle cars gave average Joes the opportunity to show off their power, their speed and their style in a way that personified the car as character.3. Like Granny in Jan and Dean's 1964 song ―The Little Old Lady from Pasadena,‖ we can't keep our foot off the accelerator.4. We are crazy about our cars —and always have been. ―The American,‖William Faulkner lamented in 1948, ―really loves nothing but his automobile.‖5. We dream of cars as we dream of lovers.6. Americans have always cherished personal freedom and mobility, rugged individualism and masculine force.Section Two Global ReadingI.Text AnalysisMain Idea―Out of Step‖ is an exposition that presents the absurdity of the Americans‘ dependence on cars. The Americans, being so accustomed to using cars, have almost forgotten the existence of their legs. Wherever they go, they go in their cars. As a result, pedestrian facilities are neglected in city planning or rejected by the inhabitants.II. Structural AnalysisParagraph 1-6 The writer introduces his idea with an anecdote.Paragraphs 7-13 In this part, the author presents the fact that the Americans are habituated to using cars for everything. Paragraphs 14-20 In this part, the author explains that pedestrian facilities are neglected or discarded.Section Three Detailed ReadingI.Text 1Out of StepBill Bryson1After living in England for 20 years, my wife and I decided to move back to the United States. We wanted to live in a town small enough that we could walk to the business district, and settled on Hanover, N.H., a typical New England town —pleasant, sedate and compact. It has a broad central green surrounded by the venerable buildings of Dartmouth College, an old-fashioned Main Street and leafy residential neighborhoods.2It is, in short, an agreeable, easy place to go about one‘s business on foot, and yet as far as I can tell, virtually no one does.3Nearly every day, I walk to the post office or library or bookstore, and sometimes, if I am feeling particularly debonair, I stop at Rosey Jekes Caféfor a cappuccino. Occasionally, in the evenings, my wife and I stroll up to the Nugget Theatre for a movie or to Murphy‘s on the Green for a beer, I wouldn‘t dream of going to any of these places by car. People have gotten used to my eccentric behavior, but in the early days acquaintances would often pull up to the curb and ask if I wanted a ride.4―I‘m going your way,‖ they would insist when I politely declined. ―Really, it‘s no bother.‖5―Honestly, I enjoy walking.‖6―Well, if you‘re sure,‖ they would say and depart reluctantly, even guiltily, as if leaving the scene of an accident without giving their name.7In the United States we have become so habituated to using the car for everything that it doesn‘t occur to us to unfurl our legs and see what those lower limbs can do. We have reached an age where college students expect to drive between classes, where parents will drive three blocks to pick up their children from a friend‘s house, where the letter carrier takes his van up and down every driveway on a street.8We will go through the most extraordinary contortions to save ourselves from walking. Sometimes it‘s almost ludicrous. The other day I was waiting to bring home one of my children from a piano lesson when a car stopped outside a post office, and a man about my age popped out and dashed inside. He was in the post office for about three or four minutes, and then came out, got in the car and drove exactly 16 feet (I had nothing better to do, so I paced it off) to the general store6 next door.9And the thing is, this man looked really fit. I‘m sure he jogs extravagant distances and plays squash and does all kinds of healthful things, but I am just as sure that he drives to each of these undertakings.10An acquaintance of ours was complaining the other day about the difficulty of finding a place to park outside the local gymnasium. She goes there several times a week to walk on a treadmill. The gymnasium is, at most, a six-minute walk from her front door.11I asked her why she didn‘t walk to the gym and do six minutes less on the treadmill.12She looked at me as if I were tragically simple-minded and said, ―But I have a program for the treadmill. It records my distance and speed and calorie burn rate, and I can adjust it for degree of difficulty.‖13I confess it had not occurred to me how thoughtlessly deficient nature is in this regard.14According to a concerned and faintly horrified 1997 editorial in the Boston Globe, the United States spent less than one percent of its transportation budget on facilities for pedestrians. Actually, I‘m surprised it was that much. Go to almost any suburb developed in the last 30 years, and you will not find a sidewalk anywhere. Often you won‘t find a single pedestrian crossing.15I had this brought home to me one summer when we were driving across Maine and stopped for coffee in one of those endless zones of shopping malls, motels, gas stations and fast-food places. I noticed there was a bookstore across the street, so I decided to skip coffee and head over.16Although the bookshop was no more than 70 or 80 feet away, I discovered that there was no way to cross on foot without dodging over six lanes of swiftly moving traffic. In the end, I had to get in our car and drive across.17At the time, it seemed ridiculous and exasperating, but afterward I realized that I was possibly the only person ever to have entertained the notion of negotiating that intersection on foot.18The fact is, we not only don‘t walk anywhere anymore in this country, we won‘t walk anywhere, and woe to anyone who tries to make us, as the city of Laconia, N.H., discovered. In the early 1970s, Laconia spent millions on a comprehensive urban renewal project, which included building a pedestrian mall to make shopping more pleasant. Esthetically it was a triumph —urban planners came from all over to coo and take photos--but commercially it was a disaster. Forced to walk onewhole block from a parking garage, shoppers abandoned downtown Laconia for suburban malls.19In 1994 Laconia dug up its pretty paving blocks, took away the tubs of geraniums and decorative trees, and brought back the cars. Now people can park right in front of the stores again, and downtown Laconia thrives anew.20And if that isn‘t sad. I don‘t know what is.II. Questions1)What kind of town is it? (Paragraph 1)It is a small, pleasant and agreeable town. The inhabitants are friendly and willing to help.But although the town is compact, few people go about on foot.2)What is considered the author‘s ―eccentric behavior‖? (Paragraph 3)Instead of riding a car, the author walks around the city, doing his shopping, going to themovies or visiting the café or bar. To people who are used to going everywhere in a car, he is an eccentric.3)Why would drivers ―depart reluctantly, even guiltily‖when their offer was declined?(Paragraphs 3-6)With cars becoming the basic essentials of their life, people are so habituated to using the car for everything. The scene of somebody walking around seemed so unusual to them that they would naturally show their concern to him. When their offer to give him a ride was declined, they were sorry for not being able to help him out.4) Why did the author say ―Actually, I‘m surprised it was that much‖? (Paragraph 14)When the author found that the newly planned suburbs totally overlooked pedestrian needs, he assumed there was no budget for pedestrian facilities at all. So he says he was surprised to learn that there actually was less than one percent of budget on it. Here the author writes with a touch of irony.5) Why did Laconia change its downtown pedestrian mall to one with parking lots? (Paragraphs18-19)Although the pedestrian mall was well decorated, shoppers were unwilling to walk to the stores from a parking garage. As a result, it was a commercial failure. The government had to compromise with the public preference.Class ActivityGroup discussion: What does the title mean?With the use of this title, the writer seems to suggest1. people no longer walk in America;2. the few people who do walk seem to be old-fashioned and ―eccentric‖.III.

大学英语综合(三) Unit3补充练习及答案
Unit 3Book 3I. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph fromwhich the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Eachparagraph is marked with a letter.A)LOS ANGELES—Fans rushed to see 3-D movies such as Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballsin theaters this year and new 3-D televisions could soon have home viewers feeling as if they're surrounded by a noodle storm on their couches. Next year, major electronics manufacturers Sony Corp. and Panasonic Corp. plan to introduce 3-D-capable high-definition televisions for the mass market. You'll still need to wear special glasses, though.B)Movie studios hope 3-D can help lift the weak home video market the same way it has pushedup box office results. The initial price of such sets is expected to be high—perhaps 20 percent more than normal sets of the same size. But costs should come down in the coming years.Depending on prices, 3-D-ready TVs could be in 28 million to 46 million homes worldwide by 2013, predicts Alfred Poor, an analyst with GigaOM Pro. He estimates that next year, as many as 2.5 million sets worldwide will be sold with 3-D capability. "We're raising a whole generation of kids who expect to see this effect for their movies at home," Poor said. "I think people want 3-D. I just don't think they're going to want to pay a whole lot more for it." To avoid the need for special screens, some manufacturers of TV sets are being away from the 3-D technology common in theaters in favor of what's known as "active avoidance". That uses an infra-red (红外线的) emitter on the TV to tell battery-powered glasses when to adjust the left and right lenses in conjunction with the images on the screen, which gives the perception of three dimensions. The sets themselves will require relatively minor upgrades from today's models, but the glasses will cost more, raising the price of the overall package.C)There's no question 3-D movies are popular. They generated more than $1 billion at boxoffices worldwide this year, and on a per-screen basis, 3-D showings typically bring in more than double the revenue of regular screenings when a movie is offered in both versions. For hits like Disney/Pixar's Up and 20th Century Fox's Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, more than half of ticket revenues came from 3-D screens, despite accounting for far fewer showings, according to the research firm Screen Digest. Those screenings tend to fill up, and moviegoers are willing to pay a few dollars extra per ticket.D)Making these 3-D movies hasn't been cheap, and so far there hasn't been an adequate way togive back those higher costs in the home video market, which brings in far more dollars to studios than the theatrical release. In September, DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. released a two-disc pack of Monsters vs. Aliens with just a 3-D bonus vignette (花絮) accompanying a 2-D version of the movie. It comes with cardboard glasses with dark reddish purple and green lenses that create a 3-D effect. The so-called "anaglyph (立体影片)" technology is out ofdate and can change colors but works with regular TVs.E)"We think for 10 minutes or so, it's a fun experience, but it's not a great experience for anhour-and-a-half or two-hour-long movie," said John Batter, DreamWorks' co-president of production for feature animation (动画片). The studio is considering a re-release of the movie at higher prices using modern 3-D technology, followed by future releases after 3-D TVs become available next year. Batter said 3-D releases "will certainly grow over time and it will become, I think, a significant part of our home video business in a three- to five-year cycle".F)Meanwhile, Universal Studios Home Entertainment released the stop-motion animated movieCoraline in July both in 2-D and 3-D with the cardboard glasses, but director Henry Selick said he was disappointed with the result. "I wish they'd waited to do the home 3-D release until the technology caught up to what it was in the theaters," Selick told a conference last month. "I'm disappointed in how few people got to see it in the best possible way."G)As more living rooms are equipped for movies in 3-D, studios will have stronger motivationto release them for home viewing especially as 3-D movies are expected to spend less time in theaters. With about 30 3-D movies headed for theaters next year and only enough screens to show one major picture at a time, the average theatrical run will shrink to less than two weeks in 2010, down from nearly nine weeks in 2008, according to Charlotte Jones, a senior analyst with Screen Digest.H)That could put more emphasis on making up for filmmaking costs on the home market, shesaid. But the home market is also coming under pressure. US home video revenues in the first half of 2009 fell 3.9 percent from a year ago to $9.4 billion. Tom Adams, president of Adams Media Research, said 3-D videos could be the good news in the industry needs, especially because it will take a lot longer for 3-D TV signals to reach people's homes by cable or broadcast. "Among the early adopting crowd, they're going to go out and buy practically everything that comes out," Adams said. "It could be pretty profitable for studios even if it's fairly small in terms of the number of households."I)Cable networks are experimenting with 3-D, too. Last month, ESPN hosted test screenings ofa USC-Ohio State football game in four US cities, following similar events put on bytechnology provider 3ality Digital LLC.J)Many technology companies are banking on a 3-D-at-home boom. RealD, the leading provider of 3-D systems in theaters, is preparing to expand production of "active shutter (快门)" eyewear. Sony Corp. has plans for a range of new 3-D products, from TVs to PlayStation games. Meanwhile, Sony Pictures Animation's latest 3-D feature, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, was an unexpected box office hit, and it could make its way into homes in 3-D once the technology catches on. With standards being finalized and demand for 3-D content booming, "2010 is definitely the year for us to start the 3-D business," said Hiro Kawano, senior vice president of home products for Sony Electronics Inc.1.3-D technology is expected to stimulate the weak home video market.2.Consumers will be able to watch 3-D movies at home next year.3.Consumers prefer movies of 3-D versions though they are a few dollars more expensive thanordinary versions.4.3-D televisions are more expensive than ordinary sets of the same size.5.Henry Selick, Director of Universal Studios Home Entertainment, was not satisfied with thecompany’s 3-D movie Coraline.6.Monsters vs. Aliens, which was released by DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. in September,is a two-disc packed movie.7.According to Charlotte Jones, the average theatrical run of 3-D movies will shrink to less thantwo weeks in 2010.8.The US home video revenues declined in the first half of 2009 from a year ago.9.RealD, the main provider of 3-D systems in theaters, aims to enlarge the production of “activeshutter” eyewear.10. DreamWorks is considering using modern 3-D technology to re-release the movie Monsters vs.Aliens.Section BPassage 1On September 11, Washington and New York were struck by a series of terrorist attacks. At 8:46 a.m. American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York, sparking a massive explosion and leaving a giant hole in the building’s façade(建筑物的正面). At 9:03 a.m., United Airline Flight 175, smashed into the south one of the World Trade Center twin towers, wiping out many of the supporting column and leaving the building aflame. At 9:40 a.m., American Flight 77 slammed from the west into a segment of the Pentagon (US Defence Department) building where more than 800 people work. It crashes into the five-sided building into its lower floors near a helicopter landing pad. Within minutes, the upper floors collapsed into the 300-meter-wide gap, which extends most of the ways through the office rings to the courtyard. At 9:59 a.m., after remaining erect for 56 minutes, the south tower of the World Trade Center, structurally crippled to a greater degree than its twin, fell down floor by floor in 10 seconds, following an explosion in a huge cloud of smoke and dust. At 10:28 the north tower, having stood for 102 minutes, fell down like a house of cards in eight seconds, sending tons of debris into the surrounding streets. At 11:34 a.m., United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in western Pennsylvania, between New York and Washington.More than 8,000 people were killed and feared dead in these terror attacks. The horizon of New York, a symbol of American superior strength, was forever changed and downscaled. The twin towers of the World Trade Center are now consigned to postcard memories in a shockingly short period of time. Over 400 meters high, the 110-story towers were the tallest in the world when they were completed almost 30 years ago. One side of Pentagon, the US military headquarters, was also seriously damaged.11. How many planes crashed on Sept.11, 2001?A. FourB. ThreeC. Two.D. Five.12.

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.The World Trade Center was built around 1970.B.The towers symbolize the American super power.C.Postcards are now designed in memory of the twin towers.D.The south tower caught fire when smashed by the plane.15. In what tone does the author describe the Sept.11 attacks?A.CondemningB. ObjectiveC. ExaggeratingD. PessimisticPassage 2Tragedy, sudden and terrible, has again struck an American school: fifteen lives were lost and a city and a nation left with scars that cannot be removed. Because guns and explosives were used to cause the mayhem (大灾害), the immediate outcry is for gun control laws.Most likely the shotguns and even the handguns used were legally purchased and registered and probably the guns were the property of the fathers of the boys who used them. Shotguns are the most common guns used in the sports of hunting small game animals and birds.The possibility of passing laws forbidding sportsmen from owning shotguns would be very slight. There would be intense opposition to such laws. On the other hand, laws forbidding handguns have a greater chance of enactment(设定). But then the familiar saying would become fact: “W hen guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”Many crimes in America are committed by people using guns. Most of these people have a record of criminal offenses. By law these criminals are not allowed to purchase or own guns. Do they care? No. They do not obey laws and find other ways to get guns.The problem is a people problem, not just a gun problem. In America, we have become a nation that has largely rejected the traditional rules and ethics of Western society that have helped it become a society of progress and the rule of law.Behind societies ruled by law— maybe in the shadows, but still there—was the feeling that over us all was a higher law that man is ultimately answerable to. Man’s law s were therefore supposed to be an extension of this law.Modern society has moved beyond this concept to a very self-centered concept of “ I am my own law”. There is no more black or white or absolute right or wrong. No higher law determines it: We decide individually. What seems right and feels right for me is therefore “right”. Also, what is “right” in one situation may be “wrong” in another, and what is “wrong” for you may be “right”for me. This concept is called moral relativism. Depending upon circumstances and how we feel about an action, it becomes right or wrong for us.For at least the last generation, public education in America has largely failed to teach right and wrong. Public schools can only appeal to personal feelings and opinions. Since most of society does not teach that there is absolute truth, the young people lack moral convictions.Some other cultural influences of today must also share in responsibility for such murderous rampages (暴怒). Many video and computer games are filled with mass destruction. You are the warrior and must destroy as many enemies as possible. You fire your weapon and your enemy goes up in a puff of smoke or flame. The more you kill, the higher your score.Think of the amount of violence shown in modern films. People with minds already distorted with hatred, as were the two from Littleton, can get plenty of education about the excitement of destroying their enemies. These two, unfortunately, acted out their fantasies.To get back to our original question—gun control or people control, can it be done? —people control will not be accomplished until the heart of America changes. Government cannot accomplish this.16. What does “when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns” mean?A.We can solve the problem by making guns illegal.B.It’s absolutely impossible to make guns illegal.C.Some people will strongly oppose to the law that make guns illegal.D.Some people can get guns whether it is legal or not.17. What is moral relativism according to this passage?A.Deciding right or wrong by oneself.B.The concept of absolute right or wrong.C. A higher law that determines right or wrong.D.An extension of the law.18. What is NOT the reason mentioned for gun crimes in US?A.Public education.B.Violence in movies.C.Some cultural influences.D.Racial discrimination against blacks.19. According to the author, what is the key to solving the gun crime?ernment’s strict gun control.B.Outcry for gun control laws.C.Restoration of traditional rules and social ethics.D. Public awareness of self-defense.20. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Violence in American SchoolsB.Gun Control or People Control— can it be Done?C.Crime Rates Are IncreasingD.The Concept of Moral RelativismII.

新标准大学英语综合教程3 unit3 课文翻译Unit3Active reading 1我们是怎样听音乐的我们都按照各自不同的能力来听音乐。
但为了便于分析,如果把听的整个过程分成几个组成部分,那么这个过程会更清晰一些。
从某种意义上来说,我们听音乐有三个不同的层次。
由于缺乏更好的术语,我们姑且把它们命名为:(1)感官层次;(2)表现层次;(3)纯音乐层次。
把听的过程机械地分割为以上三个假想的层次,唯一的好处是让我们更清楚地了解自己是怎样听音乐的。
听音乐最简单的方式是为了去获取乐声带来的纯粹的愉悦感,这是音乐的感官层次。
在这个层次上,我们只是听音乐,不做任何思考。
我们打开收音机,一边做着其他的事情,一边心不在焉地沉浸在音乐中。
乐声本身的魅力带我们进入一种无需思考的美妙心境。
令人意外的是,许多自认为是合格的音乐爱好者在听音乐时过多地使用了这一层次。
他们去听音乐会是为了忘却自我。
他们把音乐当成一种慰藉,一种逃避,由此他们进入了一个可以忘却日常生活的理想世界。
当然,他们也没有在思考音乐。
音乐允许他们离开现实,到另一个地方去做梦,因为音乐而做梦,做有关音乐的梦,却从没有真正欣赏过音乐。
的确,乐声的魅力是一种强大而原始的力量,但是你不该让它占据你过多的兴趣空间。
感官层次是音乐的一个重要层次,非常重要,但并不是音乐的全部。
音乐存在的第二个层次就是我所说的表现层次。
一提到这个问题,我们马上就进入到一个颇具争议的领域。
作曲家总是设法避开有关音乐表现方面的讨论。
斯特拉温斯基不是曾经声称他的音乐是一个“物体”,是一件有自我生命的“东西”,除了纯音乐性的存在之外没有任何别的含意吗?斯特拉温斯基这种不妥协的态度可能源于这样的一个事实:有那么多的人尝试着从众多的音乐作品中读出完全不同的含意。
确实,要准确地说出一部音乐作品的含意已经很难了,要肯定并确定地说出来,还要使每个人对你的解释都感到满意,是难上加难。
但我们不该因此走到另一个极端,不能去剥夺音乐“表现”的权利。

Lifetime friendships teach you lifetime lessons and you should learn to accept them.Read and ExploreTask One Discovering the Main Ideas1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why do people tend to have a thin understanding of friendship?It is because there is a lack of socially acknowledged criteria for what makes a person a friend.2) What are the three kinds of friendship according to Aristotle?They are friendship based on utility, friendship based on pleasure and friendship based on goodness.3) What does Cicero emphasize in his definition of friendship?He emphasizes the element of virtue in friendship.4) What is meant by ―virtuous friends‖ according to the classical views? Virtuous friends possess moral excellence and share a commitment to the good.2 Text A can be divided into four parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1 It’s necessary to review some classical views of friendship in order to acquire a better understanding of it.Two 2–5 According to Aristotle, there are three kinds of friendship, which are respectively based on utility, pleasure and goodness. Friendship based on goodness is perfect and totally different from friendship based on utility or pleasure.Three 6 According to Cicero, true friendship is only possible between good men. In such friendships and relationships, those who possess any superiority must regard themselves as equals of those who are less fortunate.Four 7 Virtuous friends are bound by moral excellence, which involves a high level of development and expression of the altruistic emotions of sympathy, concern and care.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the authors intend to say by the italicised parts.1. In one setting, we may describe someone as a friend; in another, the label may seem less appropriate. (Para. 1)Since society lacks socially accepted criteria for what friendship is, a person may be described as a ―friend‖ in one context but may not be suitably called so in another.2. Friendship between the young is thought to be grounded on pleasure, because the lives of the young are regulated by their feelings, and their chief interests are in their own pleasure and the opportunity of the moment. (Para. 4)It is believed that young people tend to regard pleasure as an essential element of friendship and thus base their friendship on pleasure.3. Such friendships are rare because men of this kind are few and they need time and intimacy; for as the saying goes, true friends must go through trials and tribulations together. (Para. 5)It is not easy to establish true friendships because there is only a small number of such good men in the world and it takes time and effort to develop such friendships. That is why true friendships are rare.4. To perceive a friend, therefore, is in a manner to perceive oneself; and to know a friend is in a manner to know oneself. Each can be said to provide a mirror in which the other may see himself. (Para. 7)When two people are true friends, each is like a mirror to the other, who can see what kind of a person he himself has proved to be and whether he has moral excellence or not.5. Friendship of this kind necessarily involves conversations about well-being and of what might be involved in living the good life. (Para.7)We can find all the good qualities in virtuous friends and it is those qualities that make permanent friendship possible.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Put down the right word from Text B in the space provided according to the given definition.

(examine to see the truthfulness of: Para. 16)8) He was under arrest when drugs were found in his bag at the customs (海关).(be captured by the police: Para. 30)Checking Your Comprehension1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text B.1) Where did the story take place?The story took place in New York.2) What was the policeman doing that night?He was on night duty, patrolling the avenues and trying to prevent any possible crimes on his beat.3) Where did the man in the doorway of a hardware store come from?He came from the western part of the United States, which was still wild and under-developed at that time.4) Why was he standing there?He was waiting by appointment for Jimmy Wells, the best friend of his youth.5) What was the appointment about?Twenty years before, Jimmy and Bob had made an appointment that they would meet again in the same restaurant exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what their conditions might be or from what distance they might have to come.6) What happened to the man who had stood in the doorway in the end? And why?He was arrested by a policeman in plain clothes, because he was wanted by the Chicago police.7) Who was the policeman in uniform?He was Jimmy Wells, Bob’s friend of youth.8) Did the two old friends meet that night?Yes, they did meet that night, but in a very special way. Jimmy approached Bob as a patrolman, talking to Bob as if they did not know each other before.2 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1) You couldn’t have dragged Jimm y out of New York; he thought it was the only place on earth. (Para. 6)He loved New York so much that he preferred to live nowhere else.2) The waiting man pulled out a handsome watch, the lids of it set with small diamonds. (Para. 9)It was a luxurious watch, handsome and with small diamonds set on its lids. Judging by the watch, one might think that he had made a fortune in the West.3) When they came into this glare, each of them turned simultaneously to gaze upon the other’s face. (Para. 27)Each of them was eager to know what exactly the other looked like.4) Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change a man’s nose from a Roman nose to a pug nose. (Para. 29)You are not Jimmy at all, because it is not possible for a man to change the shape of his nose so thoroughly within a matter of twenty years.5) Chicago thinks you may have dropped over our way and they want to have a chat with you. Going quietly with us, are you? That’s sensible. (Para. 30)The Chicago police informed us that you might have come to New York and they wanted us to stop and arrest you … It is wise of you not to resist.6) His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little by the time he had finished. (Para. 31)He could not control his emotions when he found out the truth. His hand was trembling with fear and shock.Optional Classroom ActivitiesDivide the class into groups of fours and dramatize the story “After Twenty Years” by role-playing the story-teller (O.

Which quote do you like best? Why?George Washington⊙True friendship is a plant of slow growth.— George WashingtonInterpretation:Just like plants, friendship needs nurturing. Plants follow the life cycle of seeds, shoots and flowers before they bear fruits. True friendship grows in more or less the same way. It takes time to mature.George Washington (1732-1799): the first President of the US. Washington was commander-in-chief of the colonial army during the American Revolutionary War. After the war he was elected President of the United States twice, but refused to remain in the position for a third time.Benjamin Franklin◎Be slow in choosing a friend; slower in changing.—Benjamin FranklinInterpretation:Friends and friendships may have great influence on our lives and may last as long as we live. So we should be careful when choosing a friend and should be even more careful when we decide to end the friendship. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790): a US politician, writer, and scientist. He was involved in writing two historically significant documents, the Declaration of Independence (《独立宣言》) and the Constitution of the United States (《美国宪法》). He is famous for proving that lightning is a form of electricity by doing a scientific test in which he flew a kite during a storm, and he invented the lightning conductor. He is also well known for his literary works such as Poor Richard’s Almanac(《穷理查德年鉴》1732-1757;亦译作《格言历书》、《穷理查历书》) and Autobiography (《自传》1790).Samuel Johnson◎ A man should keep his friendships in constant repair.—Samuel JohnsonInterpretation:It is important to maintain friendships. Long-standing friendships should be constantly strengthened and developed; otherwise they may fade or even be lost forever.Samuel Johnson (1709-1784): a British critic and dictionary writer. He is famous for his Dictionary ofthe English Language (1755), the first comprehensive dictionary of the English language ever published.He was considered an excellent conversationalist (善于辞令的人). His intelligent, amusing, and interesting words are still widely quoted today.Charles Caleb Colton◎True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.—Charles Caleb ColtonInterpretation:Friendship is compared to health. One often fails to see the value of health until it is lost. The same is true of friendships.Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832): an English clergyman and author. He wrote a large body of writings in his short life, which ended with suicide after an illness. His aphorisms (格言,警句) about friendship, integrity (正直, 诚实), wealth, and knowledge are often cited even to this day.Section C Watching and Discussion▇Forrest Gump is a 1994 American film starred Tom Hanks.

Write down the main idea of each part.Section B In-Depth StudyFriendship is an eternal (永恒的) theme (主题) in human history. A life without friendship is hard to imagine. But what is friendship? Read the following text and see if you can gain some new insights into the true meaning of friendship.What is Friendship?Michele E. Doyle & Mark K. Smith1 When we approach the notion of friendship, our first problem is that there is a lack of firmly agreed and socially acknowledged criteria for what makes a person a friend. In one setting, we may describe someone as a friend; in another, the label may seem less appropriate. Therefore, people tend to have a very thin understanding of what friendship really means. To help us understand what friendship really means, we need to review some classical views of friendship.2 One classical view of friendship is provided by Aristotle, the famous ancient Greek philosopher. Aristotle distinguishes between what he believes to be genuine friendships and two other forms: one based on mutual usefulness, the other on pleasure. So, according to Aristotle, we may find three kinds of friendship:3Friendship based on utility. Utility is an impermanent thing: it changes according to circumstances. When the ground for friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up because that is what keeps it alive. Friendships of this kind seem to occur most frequently between the elderly, because at their age what they want is not pleasure but utility. Friendships based on utility are also frequently found among those in middle or early life who are pursuing their own advantage. Such persons do not spend much time together, because sometimes they do not even like one another, and therefore feel no need of such an association unless they are mutually useful. They take pleasure in each other’s company only in so far as they have hopes of advantage from it.4Friendship based on pleasure. Friendship between the young is thought to be grounded on pleasure, because the lives of the young are regulated by their feelings, and their chief interests are in their own pleasure and the opportunity of the moment. As they grow up, however, their tastes change too, so that they are quick to make and to break friendships. That is why they fall in and out of friendship quickly, changing their attitude often, even within the same day. But the young do like to spend the day and live together, because that is how they realize the object of their friendship.5Friendship based on goodness. Perfect friendship is based on goodness.Only the friendship of those who are good, and similar in their goodness, is perfect. And it is those who desire the good of their friends for the friends’ sake that are the truest friends, because each loves the other for what he is, and not for any incidental quality. The conduct of good men is the same or similar. It is between good men that both love and friendship are chiefly found and in the highest form. Such friendships are rare because men of this kind are few and they need time and intimacy; for as the saying goes, true friends must go through trials and tribulations together. And no two persons can accept each other and become friends until each has proved to the other that he is worthy of love, and so won his trust. The wish for friendship may develop rapidly, but true friendship does not.6 Another classical view of friendship can be found in the writings of Cicero, an ancient Roman statesman and orator. His writings on ethics, the philosophy of religion and natural law have been influential. According to Cicero, true friendship is only possible between good men. He further defines “the good” as “those whose actions and lives leave no question as to their honor, purity, equity, and liberality; who are free from greed, lust, and violence; and who have the courage of their convictions.” The friendship between good men, based onvirtue, does offer material benefits, but it does not seek them. Moreover, just as in friendships and relationships, those who possess any superiority must regard themselves as equals of those who are less fortunate, so these latter must not be annoyed at being surpassed in genius, fortune, or rank.7 Thus, we may see that the traditional idea of friendship is made up of three components: Friends must enjoy each other’s company; they must be useful to one another; and they must share a commitment to the good. According to the classical views, virtuous friends are bound together, as they recognize each other’s moral excellence. To perceive a friend, therefore, is in a manner to perceive oneself; and to know a friend is in a manner to know oneself. Each can be said to provide a mirror in which the other may see himself. The moral excellence of friendship, thus, involves a high level of development and expression of the altruistic emotions of sympathy, concern and care. Friendship of this kind necessarily involves conversations about well-being and of what might be involved in living the good life.▇课文参考译文友谊的真谛米歇尔·E·多伊尔马克·K·史密斯1 我们探讨友谊这个概念时,遇到的第一个问题是,没有一致赞同并获社会公认的认定(某人为)朋友的标准。

He had never went toschool.ExtensionWhen did sheReally grow up?Beverly BeckhamEvery night after I tucked her into bed, I sang to her, a silly song, a made-up song, our song. “Stay little, stay little, little little stay; little stay little stay little.”She would giggle and I would smile. The next morning I would say, “Look at you. You grew. The song didn’t work.”I sang that song for years, and every time I finished, she crossed her heart and promised she wouldn’t grow any more.Then one night, I stopped singing it. Who knows why. Maybe her door was closed. Maybe she was studying. Maybe she was on the phone talking to someone. Or maybe I realized it was time to give her permission to grow.It seems to me now that our song must have had some magic because all the nights I sang it, she remained a baby…four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. They felt the same. They even looked the same. She got taller and new ones grew in, but she still had to be reminded to brush them and to take a shower every now and then.She played with dolls and Play-Doh. Though Candy Land was abandoned for Monopoly and Clue, across a table, there she still was. For years, she was like those wooden dolls that nest one inside the other, identical in everything but size.Or at least that’s how I saw her. She roller-skated and ice-skated and did cartwheels in shopping malls and blew bubbles and drew pictures, which we hung on the refrigerator. She devoured Yodels and slushes and woke early on Sunday mornings to watch Davey and Goliath.She never slept through the night, not at ten months, not at ten years.When she was small, she’d wake and cry and I’d take her into bed with me. When she got bigger, she’d wake and make her way down the hall, and in the morning, I would find her lying beside me.She used to put notes under my pillow before she went to bed, I used to put notes in her bologna sandwiches before she went to school. She used to wait by the phone when I was away. I used to wait at the bus stop for her to come home.The song, the notes, the waking up to find her next to me, the waiting at the bus stop—all these things ended a long time ago. Upstairs now is a young woman, a grown-up. She has been grown up for a while. Everyone else has seen this—everyone but me.I look at her today, one week before she graduates from high school, and I am proud of the person she has become. But I’m sad, too——not for her, but for me. There has been a child in this house for twenty-five years. First one grew up, then the other, but there was always this one…the baby.Now the baby is grown. And despite what people tell me—you don’t lose them, they go away, but they come home again. You’ll like the quiet when she’s gone, the next part of life is the best—I know that what lies ahead won’t be like what was.I loved what was. I loved it when she toddled into my office and set up her toy typewriter next to mine. I loved watching her run down the hall atnursery school straight into my arms, after a separation of just two-and-a-half hours. I loved taking her to buy stickers and for walks and to movies. I loved driving her to gymnastics and listening to her friends. I loved being the one she raced to when she was happy or frightened or sad.I loved being the centre of her world.“Mommy, come play with me.”“Mommy, I’m home.”“Mommy, I love you the bestest and the widest.”What replaces these things?“Want to see my cap and gown?”she says now, peeking into my office. She holds it up.She smiles. She’s happy. I’m happy for her. She kisses me on the cheek and says, “I love you, Mom.” And then she walks upstairs.I sit at my desk and though my heart hurts, I smile. I think what a privilege motherhood is, and how very lucky I am.Notes:Giggle: v. to laugh lightly in a nervous or silly way 咯咯地笑,傻笑Cross one’s heart: to make the sign of the cross on one’s chest 在胸口划十字Devour: v. to eat hungrily and in large quantities 大口地吃Slush: n. a drink made with crushed ice and a sweet liquid 冰砂Bologna: n. a type of cooked meat often eaten in sandwiches 大红肠Toddle: v. to walk with short, unsteady steps (学步小孩) 蹒跚行走Sticker: n. a small piece of paper or plastic with a picture or writing on it that you can stick onto something 贴纸1Are the following statements true or false?( ) 1.
