大学英语综合教程四Unit6答案

Unit 6Text comprehensionI. Decide which of the following best states the autho r’s purpose of writing.A.II. Judge. according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1. F. Refer to Paragraphs 1.It is true that the flag the narrator hangs draws little attention in Paris, but the reason is not that Parisians or Frenchmen are not interested in flag-hanging in general. Rather, the Independence Day is an occasion special for Americans only and, understandably, the French show little interest in the day or the celebrating flag.2. T. Refer to Paragraph 2.3. F. Refer to Paragraph 3. The author’s children have had little chance of learning the history of the U.S. at school, and the parents as native Americans are the only ones who could have taught them about it. This, however, is not true of children in general in France.4. F. Refer to Paragraph 4. They do not conceal the dark side of the American society but try to keep their children from the follies of the American society like school shootings.5. T. Refer to Paragraph 9-11.6. F. Refer to Paragraph 12. Globalization is both beneficial and detrimental. It helps to blur the clear-cut divide between cultures on the one hand but makes children less than fully immersed in a foreign world on the other.III. Answer the following questions.1. For one thing, flag-hanging is the only thing he can do in Paris to celebrate the Independence Day, which is part of his national heritage. For another, he intends to use it as a special occasion for teaching his children about the American history and as a reminder of their native American identity.2. The children seldom mix languages up because they have acquired French through the school instructions and English through their family life withEnglish-speaking parents. And they seem to know when to use which.3. Refer to paragraphs 4-8. The benefits of raising children in a foreign culture, as the writer suggests, include acquiring a foreign language and culture and avoiding being exposed to the problems of the native culture.4. It is difficult, according to the author, to make the children understand and identify the virtues of their native culture without living in it. Family instructions are not satisfactorily effective and have to be complemented by other means such asre-entering into the native culture and taking children to historical places.5. Because he grew up in a foreign culture and he knows it is quite an issue to know how to raise children in a foreign culture without losing their native identity. He understands that the issue involves the efforts on the part of the parents.6. Globalization is like a double-edged sword to the growth of children in a foreign culture. On the one hand, it helps to reduce differences between the foreign culture and the native culture, and facilitates the physical and spiritual re-entry into the native culture. On the other hand, it unfortunately makes it more difficult than ever for children to be fully immersed in the foreign culture.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences taken form the text.1. July 4 is one of the times I, as a native American, feel instinctively uneasy about the great gaps in our children’s understanding of their American identity, and thus I am motivated to do something to fill the gaps.2. And living away from our native country does not matter much.3. When I lived in France as an expatriated child, the French kids were dressed in the unique French style, thus looking quite different from their counterparts in other countries.4. Full immersion in a truly foreign world no longer seems possible in Western countries, and I think this is a deplorable impact of globalization upon the growth of children in a foreign country.Structural analysis of the textThe author of this text follows a “specific-general” pattern in his discussion, i.e. he first talks about what it means to his children to hang the national flag of their native land in a foreign country on July 4th every year and then expresses his view on the importance for expatriated people in general to keep their cultural identity, especially when the whole world is undergoing a process of globalization. The specific points can be found in his discussion of the costs and benefits of raising children in a foreign culture in Paragraphs 4-9 while the general conclusion can be found in paragraphs10-12, especially paragraph 12.Vocabulary exercisesI.

Unit 6 Americans and the Land--Chinese version

美国人与其土地John Steinbeck1.我常常感叹我们的先辈当初来到这片富饶的大陆时是多么的野蛮残酷，鲁莽无知。

他们像对待敌人一样蹂躏这片大陆。

事实也是如此。

他们焚烧森林，致使降雨量改变，他们对美洲野牛屠杀殆尽，在大小河床上拦河筑坝，放火焚烧草地，不顾后果地挥动大镰刀乱砍滥伐原始森林以获取珍贵的木材。

也许他们认为这是一片取之不尽用之不竭的土地，以为还有无穷无尽的新大陆供他们掠夺。

尽管也有许多人并非如此行事，但在很大程度上，先民们似乎是带着满腔仇恨掠夺这片大陆，他们感觉好像是暂时持有这片土地，随时都可能被驱逐出境。

2.这种不负责任的倾向在我们多数人身上持续至今。

我们的河流因肆意排放的污水和有毒工业废料而遭污染，无节制燃烧煤炭、焦炭、石油、汽油产生的排放物使得我们城市的空气肮脏，呼吸危险。

城镇周围遍布着我们的玩物—废旧汽车—残骸和废弃礼品盒。

我们为了对付一种害虫而滥用杀虫剂，结果却打破了我们赖以生存的自然平衡。

如果美国和美国人要想继续生存，所有这些恶行都能克服，而且必须加以克服。

但是我们中许多人仍然像我们的先辈那样行事为人，为了眼前利益掠夺我们的未来…。

3.在东海岸，尤其在新英格兰，早期定居者们在他们的社区附近，或在安全地带附近耕种贫瘠的土地，为了保卫自己的家园，每个男人都需要时刻警醒，即使狩猎队伍进入森林也需要全副武装，与其说他们是猎人，毋宁说是偷袭者。

他们后来与印第安人的纷争所致的袭击乃至屠杀让我们想到当时确实存在危险。

男人们带着枪去种地，女人们待在家里的厚墙附近日日夜夜注意着报警信号。

他们居住的城镇，大多数至今犹在，记载着关于印第安人一直以来的袭击、屠杀、剥头皮、以及他们惩罚性的反袭击等。

社区的军事头目在危急时刻成了领袖。

很久以后，危险才终于过去，人们才开始了对这块神秘土地的探索。

4. 然而，过了一些时候，那些勇武，精于森林之道的人们逐渐西移捕猎，设陷株守，最后从事皮草生意。

这是美洲用于贸易出口生产的可流通的首批珍贵财富。

In the 1890s Twain lost most of his earnings in financial speculations and in the downhill of his own publishing firm. The death of his wife and his second daughter brought a sense of gloom in the author's later years, which is seen in writings and his autobiography. Twain died on April 21, 1910.

The proper office of a friend is to side with you when you are in the wrong. Nearly anybody will side with you when you are in the right. Loyalty to petrified opinions never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul in this world--and never will. Loves seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.愛好像發生得很快，然而它是一切成長中

Unit 6 How America Lives 练习答案

Unit 6How America LivesConsolidation ActivitiesI. Text Comprehension1. Which of the following is NOT a major aspect of the American life discussed by the author?A. Agriculture and transportation.B. Marriage and women's social status.C. Social welfare and education.D. Family value and housing.Key: [ A ]2. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1). Young people still get married, but the divorce rate is higher than the remarriage rate because many don't want to raise children. [ F ]2). The author welcomes the freer patterns of today's courtship and marriage because many young kids of his time suffered bitterly. [ T ]3). Today still very few women in universities are going up to the athletic programs and demanding a just share of the physical education budget. [ F ]4). American public schools today are inferior to those decades ago. [ T ]5). Builders seem not willing to erect small homes for young married couples because it is not very profitable. [ T ]II. Writing StrategiesThis text is an essay of exposition, for it presents solid facts and major problems about American social life, though the writer inserts his own ideas at times. The whole article is clearly organized, concentrating on the major changes and problems in current American society. The paragraphs are developed by the deductive method. Each paragraph contains a topic sentence, which is proved, explained, or illustrated. For example, each of the first three paragraphs begins with a topic sentence. Can you point out the topic sentences of paragraphs 4-8?It is easy to see that each paragraph starts with a topic sentence:Paragraph 4: "American women are changing the rules."Paragraph 5: "America is worried about its schools."Paragraph 6: "Some Americans must live on welfare."Paragraph 7: "America cannot find housing for its young families."Paragraph 8: "Our prospects are still good."In order to impressively illustrate, prove, or support the topic statements, the author employs various writing strategies, such as comparison and contrast that are used to show the similarities and differences concerning the issues under discussion. For instance, the beginning paragraph contains five sentences that tell us the relevant similarities and differences by means of comparison and contrast. Can you pick out some sentences in other paragraphs that show a relevant contrast?In Paragraph 2: "The 1980 election, especially for the Senate and House of Representatives, signaled a decided turn to the right insofar as political and social attitudes were concerned. It is as if our country spent the 1960s and 1970s jealously breaking out of old restraints and now wishes to put the brakes on, as cautious people often do after a binge."In Paragraph 4: "Thirty years ago I could not have imagined a group of women employees suing a major corporation for millions of dollars of salary which, they alleged, had been denied them because they had been discriminated against. Nor could I imagine women in universities going up to the men who ran the athletic programs and demanding a just share of the physical education budget. But they are doing this —and with the support of many men who recognize the justice of their claims."In Paragraph 5: "If I had a child today, I would send her or him to a private school for the sake of safety, for the discipline that would be enforced and for the rigorous academic requirements. But I would doubt that the child would get any better education that I did in my good public school. The problem is that good public schools are becoming pitifully rare, and I would not want to take the chance that the one I sent my children to was inadequate."In Paragraph 6: "In the bad old days she might have known destitution, but with family assistance she was able to hold her children together and produced three fine, tax-paying citizens." (This sentence implies a contrast: it is not the case nowadays.) In Paragraph 9: "I think of America as having the oldest form of government on earth, because since we started our present democracy in 1789, every other nation has suffered either parliamentary change or revolutionary change."As can be seen in the text, the tone is mainly objective, and it is definite and resolute when the writer expresses obligations as well as his attitudes or opinions. For example, inParagraph 6, we find two sentences: "Some Americans must live on welfare." and "…some kind of social welfare assistance must be doled out to those who cannot find jobs." These two sentences resolutely express the moral obligation to those Americans who cannot find jobs and make the writer's attitude absolutely clear. Now list some other examples in the text to show that the tone is definite or resolute when the writer expresses obligations and his attitudes or opinions.The following examples show the definite or resolute tone of the writer.In Paragraph 1: "In a time of rapid change it is essential that we remember how much of the old we cling to."In Paragraph 2: "We should expect to see a reaffirmation of traditional family values, sharp restraints on pornography, a return to religion and a rejection of certain kinds of social legislation. "In Paragraph 3: "Without reservation, I applaud the freer patterns of today, although I believe that it's been difficult for some families to handle the changes."In Paragraph 5: "The problem is that good public schools are becoming pitifully rare, and I would not want to take the chance that the one I sent my children to was inadequate."In Paragraph 7: "America cannot find housing for its young families. I consider this the most serious danger confronting family life in America, and I am appalled that the condition has been allowed to develop? For a major nation to show itself impotent to house its young people is admitting a failure that must be corrected."III. Language Work1. Explain the underlined part in each sentence in your own words.1). They belong to churches, even though they attend somewhat less frequently.→ believe in Christianity and are members of the Christian churches2). The 1980 election signaled a decided turn to the right insofar as political and social attitudes were concerned.→ insofar as: to the extent that; were concerned: were involved3).

(3) Nevertheless (Thus/Besides/Nevertheless) it's a subject that interests me.

This is partly explained by the fact that people of all (10) income groups go together to the same schools. Americans are far more race-conscious than they are class-conscious.IV. Translation1.

Unit 6 Man and Animals新编大学英语第二版第三册教案

Unit 6 Man and AnimalsUseful InformationMan's relationship with animals has always been ambivalent. On the one hand, animals have been worshipped and attributed with all kinds of mysterious and superior powers. On the other hand, they have been hunted, domesticated, exterminated, and even exploited as a source of entertainment. In many countries, man has also created imaginary creatures that play a major role in popular cultures. The Chinese dragon is perhaps one of the most famous examples.Comparisons between animals and man have been made throughout the centuries. In some cultures, the sinister and aggressive aspect of man is regarded as the animal side of human nature. Recent research on human behavior, for example, draws parallels between the aggressiveness of modern man to the abnormal behavior of a caged animal. Some scientists believe that unnatural conditions, such as overcrowding and alienating routine jobs, cause people to perform acts of violence. Other scientists feel that aggression is a natural instinct that could be directed towards positive and creative activities.The idea of an animalistic side of human nature is foreign to the North American Indians who regard animals as equals of man. They are not only equal to man, but they are considered to be the founders and guardians of their tribes. The raven, the eagle, the bear and other animals always appear in stylized forms on their totem poles.Ever since the dawn of civilization, animals have been used to help and to serve man in many ways. Sheep and goats were bred to provide wool, meat, and fat. Large animals like oxen, water buffalo and horses were used to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads. Capable of sensing water from a great distance and going days without water, camels proved to be the ideal animal for the nomadic people of the desert. The dog, known in English-speaking countries as "man's best friend," is one of the most versatile animals. Dogs have been bred to hunt, to guard, to herd sheep and cattle, to find people in the snow or in the rubble of earthquakes, to lead the blind, and to sniff for illegal drugs.For many centuries in the West, it was thought that animals did not feel pain and that there was no such thing as cruelty to animals. It was in England in the eighteenth century that the advocacy of animal rights began. It should be said, however, that respectful treatment of animals had existed in the East for thousands of years as a result of the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism. The first national animal welfare organization was created in England in 1824 under the name of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The SPCA, as it is commonly known, now exists throughout the world.The animal rights movement has grown considerably in recent decades. As a result of protests by animal rights groups, hunting of endangered species has been banned in most countries. Many efforts have been made, for example, to stop the killing of elephants by hunters participating in the ivory trade. Some animal rights groups have focused their attention on the treatment of animals in scientific research and on the use of animals in the testing of beauty products such as perfumes, creams and makeup. Zoos and pet stores are now constantly inspected and criticized by animal rights groups. Many people regard zoos as cruel environments and favor safari parks where animals are free to roam in a more natural setting.The destruction of forests and other natural habitats has resulted in the disappearance of many species of animals throughout the world. Wildlife protection organizations have conducted educational campaigns drawing public attention to the serious decline in the biological diversity of the planet as more and more species disappear because of pollution and industrial development.Part One Preparation1.

Interesting Facts about Animals (More for teachers’ reference)1. A newborn kangaroo is about 1 inch in length.2.Each year, insects eat 1/3 of the Earth's food crop.3. A rat can last longer without water than a camel can.4. A cow gives nearly 200,000 glasses of milk in her lifetime.5.The only domestic animal not mentioned in the Bible is the cat.6. A bird requires more food in proportion to its size than a baby or a cat.7.The animal responsible for the most human deaths world-wide is the mosquito.8.There are more than 100 million dogs and cats in the United States. Americansspend more than 5.4 billion dollars on their pets each year.4. The Pet ShowMay: dog, speak, thirdBeth: bird, jump, firstKim: snake, roll over and play dead, secondSince the snake rolls over (clue #3) and the bird does not speak (clue #2), the bird must jump. The pet that jumps took first place (clue #4), and the bird is owned by Beth (clue #5), so Beth owns the first-place pet. Since Beth owns the first-place pet and May owns the third-place pet (clue #1), then Kim must own the second-place pet. Since the snake took second (clue #6), it must belong to Kim.

大学英语综合教程四Unit6答案

Topic 2 THE LAND AND PEOPLE OF THE USA

• The USA, along with the rest of America, is often referred to as the ‘New World’. • It represented for many a break with the past and the opportunity to build a new, perfect society.
The U.S.A. and Britain
• The USA’s culture has many similarities with that of the UK, but also many differences. • There is a shared history between the two nations. The eastern part of the USA used to be British colonies, but in 1775 the people rebelled and eventually, in 1783, became independent from Britain.
The English Language
• The biggest shared identity, however, is the English language. Even though it is not actually the official language of the USA (it doesn’t have one), it is the official language of 30 of the states and is by far the most commonly used language, although Spanish is strong in states like Florida and California.

Grant and Lee: A study in ContrastsBruce CattonWhen Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee met in the parlor of a modest house at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, on April 9, 1865, to work out the terms for the surrender of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, a great chapter in American life came to a close, and a great new chapter began.These men were bringing the Civil War to its virtual finish. To be sure, other armies had yet to surrender, and for a few days the fugitive Confederate government would struggle desperately and vainly, trying to find some way to go on living now that its chief support was gone. But in effect it was all over when Grant and Lee signed the papers. And the little room where they wrote out the terms was the scene of one of the poignant, dramatic contrasts in American history. They were two strong men, these oddly different generals, and they represented the strengths of two conflicting currents that, through them, had come into final collision.Back of Robert E. Lee was the notion that the old aristocratic concept might somehow survive and be dominant in American life.Lee was tidewater Virginia, and in his background were family, culture, and tradition. . . the age of chivalry transplanted to a New World which was making its own legends and its own myths. He embodied a way of life that had come down through the age of knighthood and the English country squire. America was a land that was beginning all over again, dedicated to nothing much more complicated than the rather hazy belief that all men had equal rights and should have an equal chance in the world. In such a land Lee stood for the feeling that it was somehow of advantage to human society to have a pronounced inequality in the social structure. There should be a leisure class, backed by ownership of land; in turn, society itself should be keyed to the land as the chief source of wealth and influence. It would bring forth (according to this ideal) a class of men with a strong sense of obligation to the community; men who lived not to gain advantage for themselves, but to meet the solemn obligations which had been laid on them by the very fact that they were privileged. From them the country would get its leadership; to them it could look for the higher values--of thought, of conduct, of personal deportment--to give it strength and virtue.Lee embodied the noblest elements of this aristocratic ideal. Through him, the landed nobility justified itself. For four years, the Southern states had fought a desperate war to uphold the ideals for which Lee stood. In the end, it almost seemed as if the Confederacy fought for Lee; as if he himself was the Confederacy . . . the best thing that the way of life for which the Confederacy stood could ever have to offer. He had passed into legend before Appomattox. Thousands of tired, underfed, poorly clothed Confederate soldiers, long since past the simple enthusiasm of the early days of the struggle, somehow considered Lee the symbol of everything for which they had been willing to die. But they could not quite put this feeling into words. If the Lost Cause, sanctified by so much heroism and so many deaths, had a living justification, its justification was General Lee.Grant, the son of a tanner on the Western frontier, was everything Lee was not. He had come up the hard way and embodied nothing in particular except the eternal toughness and sinewy fiberof the men who grew up beyond the mountains. He was one of a body of men who owed reverence and obeisance to no one, who were self-reliant to a fault, who cared hardly anything for the past but who had a sharp eye for the future.These frontier men were the precise opposites of the tidewater aristocrats. Back of them, in the great surge that had taken people over the Alleghenies and into the opening Western country, there was a deep, implicit dissatisfaction with a past that had settled into grooves. They stood for democracy, not from any reasoned conclusion about the proper ordering of human society, but simply because they had grown up in the middle of democracy and knew how it worked. Their society might have privileges, but they would be privileges each man had won for himself. Forms and patterns meant nothing. No man was born to anything, except perhaps to a chance to show how far he could rise. Life was competition.Yet along with this feeling had come a deep sense of belonging to a national community. The Westerner who developed a farm, opened a shop, or set up in business as a trader could hope to prosper only as his own community prospered--and his community ran from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada down to Mexico. If the land was settled, with towns and highways and accessible markets, he could better himself. He saw his fate in terms of the nation's own destiny. As its horizons expanded, so did his. He had, in other words, an acute dollars-and-cents stake in the continued growth and development of his country.And that, perhaps, is where the contrast between Grant and Lee becomes most striking. The Virginia aristocrat, inevitably, saw himself in relation to his own region. He lived in a static society which could endure almost anything except change. Instinctively, his first loyalty would go to the locality in which that society existed. He would fight to the limit of endurance to defend it, because in defending it he was defending everything that gave his own life its deepest meaning.The Westerner, on the other hand, would fight with an equal tenacity for the broader concept of society. He fought so because everything he lived by was tied to growth, expansion, and a constantly widening horizon. What he lived by would survive or fall with the nation itself He could not possibly stand by unmoved in the face of an attempt to destroy the Union. He would combat it with everything he had, because he could only see it as an effort to cut the ground out from under his feet.So Grant and Lee were in complete contrast, representing two diametrically opposed elements in American life. Grant was the modem man emerging; beyond him, ready to come on the stage, was the great age of steel and machinery, of crowded cities and a restless burgeoning vitality. Lee might have ridden down from the old age of chivalry, lance in hand, silken banner fluttering over his head. Each man was the perfect champion of his cause, drawing both his strengths and his weaknesses from the people he led.Yet it was not all contrast, after all. Different as they were--in background, in personality, in underlying aspiration--these two great soldiers had much in common. Under everything else, they were marvelous fighters. Furthermore, their fighting qualities were really very much alike. Each man had, to begin with, the great virtue of utter tenacity and fidelity. Grant fought his waydown the Mississippi Valley in spite of acute personal discouragement and profound military handicaps. Lee hung on in the trenches at Petersburg after hope itself had died. In each man there was an indomitable quality. . . . the born fighter's refusal to give up as long as he can still remain on his feet and lift his two fists.Daring and resourcefulness they had, too; the ability to think faster and move faster than the enemy. These were the qualities which gave Lee the dazzling campaigns of Second Manassas and Chancellorsville and won Vicksburg for Grant.Lastly, and perhaps greatest of all, there was the ability, at the end, to turn quickly from war topeace once the fighting was over. Out of the way these two men behaved at Appomattox carnethe possibility of a peace of reconciliation. It was a possibility not wholly realized, in the years tocome, but which did, in the end, help the two sections to become one nation again . . . after a war whose bitterness might have seemed to make such a reunion wholly impossible. No part of eitherman's life became him more than the part he played in this brief meeting in the McLean house atAppomattox. Their behavior there put all succeeding generations of Americans in their debt.Two great Americans, Grant and Lee--very different, yet under everything very much alike. Their encounter at Appomattox was one of the great moments of American history.。

You can find the interpretation of some words and phrases in "Word Bank".Book 6 Unit 6.mp4 (00:00 – 02:35)ScriptToday I'm gonna talk about the differences between being a black American vs. being a black in England, and kinda like what to expect when you go there.Um, first of all, well, the major difference is black people in England, they know their heritage, you know, their culture, like you know, black people in America, you know, were born in slavery. And in U.S. basically where most black people are African-American, you know, they don't know anything because, you know, they are born and brought over in slave ships. And slave masters have wiped out all their history and, you know, they are brought up on, you know, white culture. And you know, what the slave master is basically you know "took total". But black people in England, you know, they ... you know, they know the history like, whatever like, Greek people in America like "Oh, I'm Greek-American. You know, I'm Greek." But out there in England, English people, black people, you know, they're Kenyan, you know, they're Ghanaian, they're Nigerian, they're Jamaican, wherever they're from. But a lot of ... I'll say, most of them know their heritage, where they're from, and so that's one of the very big differences, um, in England.And then I also want to talk about the music. The music differences, uh, they're not too big. One thing is that in America, we don't listen at all to really any hip-hop English music at all. Um for example, the biggest artist out in England is a guy named Tinie Tempah. And I can guarantee pretty much nobody knows who Tinie Tempah is in America. But in England, he's like the biggest thing out. But the thing is even some of our small artist out of America is still kind of big out in the U.K., and our big artists out of America are just well-known, um, you tell me about Rick Ross, Drake, anyone. I mean they're masters, you know, they sell out when they come, you know, to London. But it's like ... but in U.K., they almost support American music more than they support their own music. But they do support, you know, like their Grime music. They have, uh, you know, their hip-hop artists. Like they support, they really get behind the guy, I can say, Tinie Tempah. He's partly like a leader man out of London. They really support their man, like you know, their other artists. They do support their own, but they definitely support and love American music.And also I want to talk about, like, culture. It'll ... like interactive things, like women and things like that. And it is true like you have an American accent like "It's all good. Let me tell ya. It's a good thing." Like other, for example, you know, I'll be like, "Hey, excuse me", you know, "how're you doin'?" "I'm all good. Are you from America?" and I'm like, "Yeah, yeah". They're like, "I'm all good. What part of America are you from?" I'm like, uh, "I'm from Chicago". They're like, "Oh, really?" and you know, we just continue this conversation. But I come from this great open land. So if you're comin', if you're going to England, just put on your accent. Just talk.Word Bank1.Kenyan:a native of Kenya, a republic in eastern Africa 肯尼亚⼈2.Ghanaian:a native of Ghana, a republic in West Africa 加纳⼈3.Nigerian:a native of Nigeria, a republic in West Africa 尼⽇利亚⼈4.Jamaican:a native of Jamaica, an island in the West Indies ⽛买加⼈5.hip-hop music:a style of popular music of U.S. black and Hispanic origin, featuring rap with an electronicbacking 嘻哈⾳乐6.sell out:be all sold so that there is no stocke.g. The new cakes were so popular that they sold out quickly.7.Grime music:a style of music that emerged from Bow, East London, England in the early 2000sExercise1.Unlike black people in America, black people in England ___________.A. are aware of their cultureB. know their heritageC. hate slaveryD. are mostly from West Africa2.Black people in England ___________.A. love American musicB. love African musicC. do not love American musicD. do not love African musicKey: 1.

Key: 1. T 2. T 3. F 4. F Background Notes1.Lorenzo Dow Turner (1890–1972): an Afro-American linguist and ethnologist who didseminal research on the Gullah language of the Low Country of coastal South Carolina and Georgia. Although established scholars then viewed Gullah speech as substandard English, Turner sensed that Gullah was strongly influenced by African languages. He set out to study the language, and identified and analyzed African survivals in the African American language.2.Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe: Daniel Defoe (1659–1731) was an English trader, writer,journalist, and pamphleteer, who gained fame for his novel Robinson Crusoe.The novel, published in 1719, tells of a man's shipwreck on a deserted island and his subsequent adventures.Text StudyTextBlack EnglishPeter Farb1 V ery few white Americans are aware of the extent to which the great majority of black Americans suffer from linguistic schizophrenia — of a unique sort. The diglossia problem of the lower-class black is unusual because he does not speak a colloquial or "incorrect" form of standard English. Instead, he speaks a dialect that has a strikingly different grammar and sound system, even though to white ears the black appears to be trying to speak Standard English. Anyone who speaks Black English is likely to find himself stigmatized as a user of an inferior kind of Standard English, whereas actually he is speaking a radically different dialect that is as consistent and elegant as whites consider their Standard English to be.2 The whole subject of Black English is so tied up with both racism and good intention that it rarely is discussed calmly, even by specialists in the field. At one extreme is the racist, conscious or unconscious, who attributes black speech to some physical characteristic like thick lips or a large tongue; he is certain that it is inferior speech and that it must be eradicated. At the other extreme is the well-intentioned liberal who denies that he detects much of a departure from white speech; he regards Black English as simply a southern United States dialect, and he is likely to attribute any departure from white speech to the black's educational deprivation. Both views are wrong. Black English's radical departure from Standard English has nothing to do with the anatomy of race or with educational deprivation. The history of the English spoken by New World blacks shows that it has been different from the very beginning, and that it is more different the farther back in time one goes. Of course, some blacks speak exactly like whites, but these cases are both recent and exceptional; the overwhelming majority speak Black English some or all of the time.3 By "Black English" I do not mean the spirited vocabulary whose adoption by some whites gives them the mistaken impression that they are talking real soul to their black brothers. These rich and metaphoric words are much less important than grammar for a description of Black English. They originated by the same processes that gave rise to the slang, jargon, and argot words of Standard English, and, like the Standard words, they have seeped out to become part of the general vocabulary. Many words that were once the exclusive property of speakers of Black English —groovy, square, jive, rap, cool, chick, dig, rip off, and so on — are now commonly used by speakers of white Standard English. I do not refer to the superficial vocabulary, which changes from year to year, but to its largely different history, sound system, and basic structure.4 What we hear today as Black English is probably the result of five major influences: African languages; West Africanpidgin; a Plantation Creole once spoken by slaves in the southern United States as well as by blacks as far north as Canada; Standard English; and, finally, urbanization in the northern ghettoes. The influence of African languages on black speech was long denied, until in 1949 Lorenzo Dow Turner published the results of his fifteen-year study of Gullah, a black dialect spoken in the coastal region around Charleston, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia. Gullah is important in the history of Black English because this region continued to receive slaves direct from Africa as late as 1858 —and so any influence from Africa would be expected to survive there longer. Turner accumulated compelling evidence of resemblances in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar between Gullah and various Western African languages. He listed some 4,000 Gullah words for personal names, numbers, and objects that are derived directly from African languages. Some of these words —such as tote, chigger, yam, and tater("potato") —eventually entered Standard English.5 The second influence, pidginization, is more apparent because the languages spoken today bythe descendants of slaves almost everywhere in the New World —regardless of whether these languages were based on English, French, Dutch, Spanish, or Portuguese — share similarities in sound patterns and in grammar. For example, the common Black English construction He done close the door has no direct equivalent in Standard English, but it is similar to structures found in Portuguese Pidgin, Weskos of West Africa, French Creole of Haiti, the Shanan Creole of Surinam, and so on. An analysis of the speech of slaves —as recorded in eighteenth-century letters, histories, and books of travel — indicates that the great majority of them in the continental United States spoke pidgin English, as much in the North as in the South. This was to be expected since blacks speaking many languages were thrown together in the West African slave factories and they had to develop some means of communication. No matter what their mother tongues were, they had been forced to learn a second language, an African Pidgin English that at least as early as 1719 had been spread around the world by the slave trade. We can be certain of that year because it marked the publication of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, which contains numerous examples of this pidgin and also uses, in the character Friday, the West African and slave tradition of bestowing personal names based on the days of the week.6 Therefore most slaves must have arrived in the New World speaking a pidgin that enabled them to communicate with each other and eventually also with overseers. In the succeeding generations a small number of blacks were taught Standard English. But the great majority apparently expanded their pidgin into a Creole language —called Plantation Creole by some linguists even though it was also spoken in the North — by grafting an English vocabulary onto the structures of their native languages and pidgins.7 The wonder is that it took people so long to realize that Black English is neither a mispronunciation of Standard English nor an accumulation of random errors made in the grammar of Standard English. Utterances in Black English are grammatically consistent and they are generated by rules in the same way that utterances in Standard English are generated by rules. People may not regard utterances in Black English to be "good English" — but that is beside the point, because Black English is using a different set of rules than those of Standard English.(1,056 words)Words and Phrases1.liberal n.a person of liberal viewsadj. willing to respect or accept behaviour or opinion different from one's own; open to new ideas; favourable to or respectful of individual rights or freedome.g. It is not surprising that generally young people are more liberal than the old on the issueof pre-marital sex.The new government claims that it will work towards the goal of building the country into a liberal, democratic state.2.seep v.

Used in horticulture, it means a shoot inserted into a slit of stock, from which it receives sap, or to insert a graft. Used in medicine, it means a piece of living tissue that is transplanted, or to transplant as a graft.Figuratively, the word is used to mean to insert or fix sth. permanently to sth. else.e.g. Western type of democracy cannot be grafted to other countries of different historicalevolution.Another meaning of the word is practices, esp. bribery, used to secure illicit gains in politics or business; corruption.e.g. Strict measures are being enforced to curb graft in the administration.Notes1.linguistic schizophrenia — of a unique sort:the inconsistent, even contradictory conceptsconcerning the language they use2.The diglossia problem of the lower-class black is unusual because he does not speak acolloquial or "incorrect" form of standard English.: In the author’s opinion, black English is not the Low Form of a language in a diglossic situation because its speaker is not speaking an informal, non-literary form of English."Diglossia" refers to the sociolinguistic phenomenon that in a community two forms or varieties of the same language exist side by side.3.dialect: The word normally refers to a variety of a language used by people of a specificgeographical region, but here it is used, as is quite common in linguistic literature, in the sense of a linguistic variety associated with a social group, i.e. a social dialect or sociolect.4.Black English: Here it refers to the variety of English spoken by the black, especially theurban populations in the U.S.5.he is likely to attribute any departure from white speech to the black's educationaldeprivation: Most likely, he will think that the reason why the black speakers are not usingEnglish in the same way as the white speakers do is that they are not adequately educated.6.New World blacks: New World refers generally to North and South America regardedcollectively in relation to Europe, especially after the early voyages of European explorers.New World blacks in this context refer to the black people brought from Africa to North America by slave trade in the early days.7.spirited vocabulary: vocabulary which bears specific features of the blacks as a race8.they are talking real soul to their black brothers: they are talking in what they think agenuinely "black" way to their black fellow countrymenSoul, used as an adjective, can bear such meanings as related to, taking pride in, or displaying the characteristics of Black Culture, thus expressions like soul singer, soul radio station, soul music, soul brother, soul food, etc.9.slang, jargon, and argot words: Slang is a type of language that consists of words andphrases that are regarded as very informal and nonstandard, typically formed by creative, often witty juxtapositions of words or images, and usually restricted to a particular context ora group of people, e.g. army slang. Jargon refers to the technical language of occupational orother groups that is difficult for outsiders to understand, e.g. legal jargon, medical jargon.Argot is the jargon or slang of a particular group or class, e.g. teenage argot. The borderlines separating these categories are not always distinct, and some writers use these terms in a general way to include all the foregoing meanings.10.Many words that were once the exclusive property of speakers of Black English ...:Many words that were once used by speakers of Black English only ...Property in this sentence means attribute, quality, characteristic.Note the other meanings of the word, e.g. possessions collectively; building or buildings and the land that belongs to it or to them; shares or investments in property; theatrical props.11.African languages: The languages spoken in Africa can be said to include the following fourmajor groups: (1) Afro-Asiatic, which spreads throughout the Middle East, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, and parts of the Sahel; (2) Nilo-Sahara, which is centered on Sudan and Chad;(3) Niger-Congo, which covers West, Central, and Southeast Africa; and (4) Khoe, which isconcentrated in the deserts of Namibia and Botswana.12.pidgin: a language that is a mixture of two other languages, one of which is usually aEuropean language and the other is a local language of Asia, Africa, or Latin America. Pidgin has a limited vocabulary and a reduced grammatical structure used between people who do not know each other's language well for restricted communicative purposes such as trade.13.Creole: a pidgin language that has become the native language of a group of speakers, beingused for all or many of their daily communicative needs. Usually, the sentence structures and vocabulary range of a creole are far more complex than those of a pidgin. Creoles are usuallyclassified according to the language from which most of their vocabulary comes, e.g.English-based, French-based, Portuguese-based, and Swahili-based creoles. Examples of English-based creoles are Jamaican Creole, Hawaiian Creole and Krio in Sierra Leone, West Africa.14.The influence of African languages on black speech was long denied: The influence ofAfrican languages on black speech was ignored or unnoticed for a long time15.Gullah: also called the Sea Island English, is the creole language spoken by the Gullahpeople. It is based on English, with strong influences from West and Central African languages on its vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammatical structure.Questions1.How do you understand Farb's statement "the great majority of black Americans suffer fromlinguistic schizophrenia — of a unique sort"? (para. 1)Key:Schizophrenia is a long-term mental disorder marked by breakdown in the relation between thought, emotion, and behavior, leading to faulty perception, inappropriate actions and feelings, and withdrawal from reality. Black Americans are definitely not suffering from this mental disease, but the confusion and bewilderment they feel about the nature of their speech can be likened to the disorderly mental status of a patient of schizophrenia.2.On what grounds does Farb disagree with either of the two extreme views on the subject ofBlack English? (para. 2)Key:Farb does not think Black English's radical departure from Standard English has anything to do with the anatomy of race or with the Black people's educational deprivation. In his opinion, Black English has been a different language from the very beginning, and it is thus an entirely different language in its own right.3.In Farb's opinion, what should be taken into consideration if one wants to give acomprehensive linguistic description of Black English? (para. 3)Key:One should take into consideration all the three aspects of language, i.e. vocabulary, sounds, and grammar.4.What, in Farb's view, are the five major influences that have contributed to the formation oftoday's Black English? (para. 4)Key:The five major influences that have contributed to the formation of today's Black English are (1) African languages, (2) West African pidgin, (3) a Plantation Creole, (4) Standard English, and (5) urbanization in the northern ghettoes.5.Why does Farb cite Turner's study of the Gullah language? (para. 4)Key: He cites Turner's study of Gullah to support his view that today's Black English is not a non-standard departure from English, but a separate language based on some Western African languages for the many resemblances in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar between them found by Turner.6.How does pidginization contribute to the formation of Black English?Key: The blacks brought from different regions in Africa to North America as slaves needed a common speech to communicate with each other, which resulted in a kind of English-based pidgin, which in part contributed to the formation of Black English.7.What is Farb's position about the status of Black English?Key: Black English is not a sub-standard variety of English, but a language that has a set of rules different from that of Standard white English.Activity1.In para. 3 Farb mentions two views concerning Black English, i.e. the racist view and thegood-intentioned liberal view, both of which he rejects. Then in the essay he presents his own view, i.e. Black English is a language in its own right. Which of these views do you agree with? Or perhaps you do not agree with any of these three. Present your view of Black English in a short talk.Sentence patterns for your referenceI agree that ...In contrast to ... Black English ...To sum up, ...2.Do you think Black English will in the future come to enjoy the same privilege as StandardAmerican English does today? Air your views on the possible course of development of Black English in a group discussion. Sentence patterns for your referenceIn a world of ... Black English ...Although Black English ...As a result, ...Organization and DevelopmentArgumentative WritingIn terms of discourse type, this essay is basically a piece of argumentative writing. The author's argument is made clear in the first paragraph, and restated at the end of the essay.Main ArgumentHis argument is made clear by the last sentence of the first paragraph "... actually he is speaking a radically different dialect that is as consistent and elegant as whites consider their Standard English to be", which is restated by the last sentence of the essay "Black English is using a different set of rules than those of Standard English."Methods of ArgumentationThe main method Farb uses in his argument is referring to historical facts. In paras. 4 and 5, he traces the historical development of today's Black English, i.e. it originated with African languages rather than Standard English, and the need for the black from different African countries to communicate with each other made pidginization necessary. In this process, Farb cites Turner's seminal study to make his argument more convincing.Another device he uses is definition. As most people, both black and white, have confusing ideas of what Black English is, he needs first of all to clarify the notion of a language. In para. 3 he presents his notion of what makes a language a distinct entity. In his view, Black English is a language in its own right because it has a different history, its own distinctive sound system and grammar structure, apart from its spirited vocabulary.III. Text IIText StudyTextIf Black English Isn't a Language, Then Tell Me, What Is?James Baldwin1 The argument concerning the use, or the status, or the reality, of black English is rooted in American history and has absolutely nothing to do with the question the argument supposes itself to be posing. The argument has nothing to do with language itself but with the role of language. Language, incontestably, reveals the speaker. Language, also, far more dubiously, is meant to define the other —and, in this case, the other is refusing to be defined by a language that has never been able to recognize him.2 People evolve a language in order to describe and thus control their circumstances, or in order not to be submerged by a reality that they cannot articulate. (And, if they cannot articulate it, they are submerged.) A Frenchman living in Paris speaks a subtly and crucially different language from that of the man living in Marseilles; neither sounds very much like a man living in Quebec; and they would all have great difficulty in apprehending what the man from Guadeloupe, or Martinique, is saying, to say nothing of the man from Senegal —although the "common" language of all these areas is French. But each has paid, and is paying, a different price for this "common" language, in which, as it turns out, they are not saying, and cannot be saying, the same things: They each have very different realities to articulate, or control.3 What joins all languages, and all men, is the necessity to confront life, in order, not inconceivably, to outwit death: The price for this is the acceptance, and achievement, of one's temporal identity. So that, for example, though it is not taught in the schools (and this has the potential of becoming a political issue) the south of France still clings to its ancient and musical Proven?al, which resists being described as a "dialect." And much of the tension in the Basque countries, and in Wales, is due to the Basque and Welsh determination not to allow their languages to be destroyed. This determination also feeds the flames in Ireland for among the many indignities the Irish have been forced to undergo at English hands is the English contempt for their language.4 It goes without saying, then, that language is also a political instrument, means, and proof ofpower. It is the most vivid and crucial key to identity: it reveals the private identity, and connects one with, or divorces one from, the larger, public, or communal identity. There have been, and are, times, and places, when to speak a certain language could be dangerous, even fatal. Or, one may speak the same language, but in such a way that one's antecedents are revealed, or (one hopes) hidden. This is true in France, and is absolutely true in England: The range (and reign) of accents on that damp little island make England coherent for the English and totally incomprehensible for everyone else. To open your mouth in England is (if I may use black English) to "put your business in the street": You have confessed your parents, your youth, your school, your salary, your self-esteem, and, alas, your future.5 Now, I do not know what white Americans would sound like if there had never been any black people in the United States, but they would not sound the way they sound. Jazz, for example, is a very specific sexual term, as in jazz me, baby, but white people purified it into the Jazz Age. Sock it to me, which means, roughly, the same thing, has been adopted by Nathaniel。

Last year, he taught his students about the world’s rain forests. They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.Destruction of the world’s rain forests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project, Myers’ students bought three acres of rain forest in Central America. They paid $25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles. In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest. The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at e us,” one of the students said, “It was a great learning experience for all of us,” said Myers.Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids. ( ) 1.

2. not to grab and leave but to settle and live (pa.6) —
a line of antithesis (a contrast of ideas by parallel constructions), made more expressive through the alliteration and rhyming of "leave" and "live"
The newcomers ... there was so much of it. (pas. 6-7) —
Q2: Why did the newcomers like land so much? The new settlers had been of peasants descent(血统) for generations in Europe. and they could not forget their landless conditions there. In Europe, the land one owned represented one's social status. because the possession of land was a prerequisite and a symbol of a higher class.
than they had known = than they had ever belonged to But here in America things were different. They were allowed to own land, and moreover, there was plenty of land for them to possess. The bitter memory of their conditions in Europe contrasted with this beautiful, limitless land in America available for anyone to get, naturally caused them to go crazy about land.
Para.7
Q1: What did the settlers do when they got land? Q2:What were the consequences of their plunder of nature? Q3. Why did they abandon their knowledge ... to maintain its usefulness (pa.7) —
Para.6
Q1: Why did the settlers moved west? Q2:Why did the newcomers like land so much? Q3: Why is there an “a” before Europe? 1. The trickle of immigrants became a stream (pa.6) — The flow of new settlers from Europe began to increase dramatically
Unit 6 (Part 2) Para. 5 What did the colonists do
when the Indians were no longer a threat? The colonists began to snatch valuables as they moved about the country. Did any of them live permanently among the Indian? What were they and their children treated?
Q3: Why is there an “a” before Europe?
"Europe" takes the indefinite article, because it is modified by a relative clause introduced with "where," which qualifies "Europe" as of a stated type. Within the relative clause, there are two sub-clauses linked by "for" (= because).
4. The topsoil ... clay and rock
exposed (pa.7) — The top-soil, which had once been held in place by roots and nourished by fallen leaves, was washed or worn away by overflowing water of streams in spring, as a result, clay and rock were laid bare.
8. The merciless nineteenth century ... seemed limitless (pa. 7) — It seemed as if the nineteenth century were a time for people to make long journeys to distant lands, where there was an inexhaustible source of valuable things for them to take away by force. 9. What happened to buffaloes in the 1800s in America? Why? (pa. 7)
In the sentence, the author compares "clay (heavy, firm earth beneath the topsoil) and rock" to "bones," with the implication that the topsoil is "flesh" which once covered the "bones.“
land for the taking:
land that is free and obtainable to anyone who wishes it, that is, you can have the land if you want it; the only condition of your possession of the land is your action of taking it.
5. Why did the destruction of the forests changed the rainfall? (pa.7)
The presence of forests can keep the moisture in the air, which will increase the rainfall. Under warm, dry conditions, raindrops would evaporate completely before they hit the ground.
spring freshet: a sudden overflowing of streams caused by heavy rg
strip: remove (sth that covers a surface), e. g.
The paint on the wall could easily be stripped off. naked: with nothing more on top, e. g. a cliff of naked red earth and rock (i. e. with no grass or other vegetation over them) You can see the bacteria with naked eyes.肉眼
6. beckoning (pa. 7) — (personification) nodding; greeting; welcoming (The woods invite the clouds to come to them as if by gestures) 7. draw them on and milk them (pa.7) — pull the clouds forward and suck raindrops from the clouds
To crop a field is to use it for growing crops, e. g.
Unless I can crop this field, it's no use for me to keep it. "Out" means "no longer useful, "e. g. wear out a pair of shoes (wear them until they become useless). 3. raping the country (pa.7) — Pillaging /plundering/robbing the country
More examples of the "for the -ing" expression:
Fruit for the taking: I've got far more fruit than I really need, so whatever you want is yours for the taking. On the mountain there were abundant wild berries and apricots for the picking. "Jazz for the asking" is a radio program on which whatever jazz music you ask for will be played for you.
