第三版新视野大学英语读写教程1 Unit 1 Section A课文翻译

奔向更加光明的未来1 下午好！作为校长，我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。

你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果，也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。

在这所大学里，我们承诺将使你们学有所成。

2 在欢迎你们到来的这一刻，我想起自己高中毕业时的情景，还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。

妈妈吩咐我们：“姿势自然点。

”“等一等,”爸爸说，“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。

”在大学期间，那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。

至今它还放在我办公室的桌子上。

3 让我来告诉你们一些你们未必预料得到的事情。

你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯，怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。

你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣，你们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣！但是要记住：未来是建立在过去扎实的基础上的。

4 对你们而言，接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。

在这里，你们拥有丰富的资源：有来自全国各地的有趣的学生，有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师，有综合性图书馆，有完备的运动设施，还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。

你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。

你们要学着习惯点灯熬油，学着结交充满魅力的人，学着去追求新的爱好。

我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历，并用你们的干劲和热情去收获这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。

5 有这么多课程可供选择，你可能会不知所措。

你不可能选修所有的课程，但是要尽可能体验更多的课程！大学里有很多事情可做可学，每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世界。

如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话，那就是：挑战自己！不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。

选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。

这样，你不仅会变得更加博学，而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。

一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇，她最初学的是艺术史。

随着时间的推移，王薇薇把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来，并将其转化为对设计的热情，从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。

新视野大学英语第三版读写教程第一册Unit1课后习题答案

Unit 1 Fresh StartSection AIn fact all the pieces of advice mentioned in the interview are very useful. But if I have to choose one as the most useful, I'd choose "keep a balance". When we were in high school, we spent almost all our time studying. There lacked a balance between social life and academic life in high school. It's important to keep a balance between life and work because it will give us a sound mind in a sound body. Now we have much more free time, so we can join student organizations or go to different activities.2.What advice did your parents give you before you left for college?Before I left for college my parents did have a talk with me. They told me how important college experience would be in my life. They told me about the opportunities that college education would open up to me. They told me to try to develop more interests and join some student clubs. The most impressive advice they gave me was that I should not only read books about my major; instead, they advised me to read as widely as possible. All these are very valuable pieces of advice.Reading comprehension1.According to the president, what did the parents remind their children to do before theyleft for college?The parents reminded their children to work hard and achieve the best they could.2.What does the president call on the students to do with the greatest resources oncampus?The president calls on the students to make the most of the great resources on campus: to explore new subjects, to meet fascinating people, and to pursue new passions.3.What does the president mean when he says "sample them widely" (Para. 5)?By saying "sample them widely", the president means students should try many different courses and try something new to see what it is like.4.What could be the consequences if you don't challenge yourself?If we don't challenge ourselves, we will not become broadly educated people, and we may not find the passion that will help us shape our future.5.What can you learn from the example of Vera Wang?We can learn from the example of Vera Wang that we should challenge ourselves, and by challenging ourselves, we are more likely to find an interest we don't know we have, and this interest may help us build a prosperous future.6.How should you deal with new and unpleasant experiences in college?We should not worry, and we should learn to face this new part of our life with enthusiasm. College experiences, pleasant or unpleasant, will provide us with valuable lessons and will enrich our life.7.How do you understand "Now it is your turn" (Para. 7)?The expression "Now it is your turn" means that now it is time for you to acquire knowledge and to pass it on.8.How does the president's speech impress you?The president's welcoming speech is really impressive. He mentions many important things about college life, the resources available on campus, as well as the opportunities we have and the responsibilities that we should take. The speech is very inspiring.1. What role do you think a university education will play in your life?A university education will play a very important role in my life, and it will benefit me in a number of ways. In the university I can acquire specialized knowledge about my major, and develop my critical thinking and research skills. I will have the opportunities to meet and share ideas with people of different minds. I can gain a broader view of the world by meeting people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. And I will start my life journey of self-discovery, self-improvement, and self-fulfillment.2.Do you think a university education can change a person's life? In what way and why? Yes, absolutely. With a university education, a person will have more freedom and therefore more choices. This education experience provides unlimited potential. Moreover, a university education provides the means for one to succeed. Not only will a person obtain knowledge and skills essential for his career development, but he will also develop an independent mind and be able to make right decisions on his own.3.How do you think about those successful people such as Bill Gates who dropped out ofuniversity?I admire those who dropped out of university and yet had made fame for themselves by achieving big goals. Some people use those successful college dropouts as counterexamples to show their belief that a person can succeed even without a university education. Chances are that most people do not have the same mind, talent, determination, or opportunities as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg did; therefore, they might not be able to achieve success without having a university education. In fact, a university education will equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills which will help them to succeed.4.How do you understand the statement "If you think education is expensive, tryignorance"?Nowadays education is getting more and more expensive, especially college education. And there are people who choose to give up education because of the high cost. But without education, one would not be able to acquire knowledge that an education will offer. In other words, they would be "ignorant". The result would be that "ignorant" people will suffer even more or pay even more for being so. It is true that education is expensive, but if you try "ignorance", the cost would be even higher.5.What are you going to do at university in order to sample widely and challenge yourself? To sample widely and challenge myself, I am going to venture out of my comfort zone and do what I have not had the courage to do. For instance, I will make friends with people from diversebackgrounds and cultures. I will take a swimming class and learn how to swim. I will attend lectures, join student clubs, and try all kinds of food. Most of all, I will do whatever it takes to make the most of the four years and try to become a well-rounded graduate.Words in use1.

新视野大学英语1第三版读写教程答案U1Part II key to exercisesSection APre-reading activities11B 2D 3C 4A 5E31 In fact all the pieces of advice mentioned in the interview are very useful. But if I have t choose one as the most useful, I’d choose “keep a balance”. When we were in high school, we spent almost all our time studying. There lacked a balance between social life and academic life in high school. It’s important to keep a balance betwee n life and work because it will give us a sound mind in a sound body. Now we have much more free time, so we can join student organizations or go to different activities.2 Before I left for college my parents did have a talk with me. They told me how important college experience would be in my life. They told me about the opportunities that college education would open up to me. They told me to try to develop more interests and join some student clubs. The most impressive advice they gave me was that I should not only read books about my major; instead, they advised me to read as widely as possible. All these are very valuable pieces of advice.Scripts:Sarah: Hi I’m Sarah. I’m a student advisor at a university. I know the first year of college is alwa ys difficult. You have to adapt to a new environment, and learn to do everything on your own. To help make your transition just a little easier, I’m going to interview some senior students on campus let’s see what advice they can give you.Sarah: Hi Jennifer. What do you think is important to a freshman?Jennifer: I think it is very important to go to class regularly. It sounds easy, but oversleeping andmissing that 8 o’clock morning class is very common. Try to go to class on time and regularly. You will learn the material in class, get to know the professors, and make friends with your classmates. You will also get important information from the professors about tests and exams.Sarah: Mark, do you agree with Jennifer?Mark: Absolutely. My advice is: Find a good place to study. It may be your dorm room or a corner of the library or a quiet classroom, but find a place that works best for you to get your work done. If you have trouble concentrating in your dorm, you need to find another place.Sarah: Nancy, what is our advice for freshmen?Nancy: “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” My advice is to get involved on campus. Abig problem for a lot of new students is that they miss home and they don't have a sense of belonging. The solution is to join a student organization, or a club, or a sports team. You will make new friends, learn new skills, and feel more connected to your school.Sarah: Excellent advice, Nancy. Simon, it seems you have something to say.Simon: Yes, I do. Well, I want to say you should keep a balance. College life is a mixture of social life and academic life. Don’t join too many student organizations or go to too many activities. Otherwise, you won’t have enough time to study. Of course, you should not become a book worm. The key is to keep a balance between fun and study.Sarah: They all give very useful tips. But let me add a few more. Take responsibility for yourself and your actions; take advantage of the learning resources on campus; stay healthy and eat right. I hope you will get the most out of your college experience.Reading comprehensionUnderstanding the text11. The parents reminded their children to work hard and achieve the best they could.2. The president calls on the students to make the most of the great resources on campus: toexplore new subjects, to meet fascinating people, and to pursue new passions.3. By saying “sample them widely”, the president mean students should try may different courses and try something new to see what it is like.4. If we don’t challenge ourselves, we will not become broadly educated people, and we may not find the passion that will help us shape our future.5. We can learn from the example of Vera Wang that we should challenge ourselves and by challenging ourselves, we are mor e likely to find an interest we don’t know we have, and this interest may help us build a prosperous future.6. W should not worry, and we should learn to face this new part of our life with enthusiasm. College experiences, pleasant or unpleasant, will provide us with valuable lessons which will enrich our life.7. The expression Now it is your turn” means that now it is time for you to acquire knowledge and to pass it on.8. The president’s welcoming speech is really impressive. He mentions many important things about college life , the resources available on campus, as well as the opportunities we have and the responsibilities we should take. The speech is very inspiring.Critical thinking1. A university education will play a very important role in my life, and it will benefit me in a numberof ways. In the university I can acquire specialized knowledge about my major, and develop critical thinking and research skills. I will have the opportunities to meet and share ideas with people of different minds. I can gain a broader view of the world by meeting people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. And I will start my life journey of self-discovery, self-improvement, and self-fulfillment.2. Yes, absolutely. With a university education, a person will have more freedom and thereforemore choices. This education experience provides unlimited potential. Moreover, a university education provides the means for one to succeed. Not only will a person obtain knowledge and skills essential for his career development, but he will also develop an independent mind and be able to make right decisions on his own.3. I admire those who dropped out of university and yet have made fame for themselves byachieving big goals. Some people use those successful college dropouts as counterexamplesto show their belief that a person can succeed even without a university education. Chances are that most people do not have the same mind, talent, determination, or opportunities as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg did; therefore, they might not be able to achieve success without having a university education. In fact, a university education will equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills which will help them to succeed.4. Nowadays education is getting more and more expensive, especially college education. Andthere are people who choose to give up education because of the high cost. But without education, one would not be able to acquire knowledge that an education will offer. In other words, they would be “ignorant”. The result would be that ignorant people will suffer even more or pay even more for being so. It is true that education is expensive, but if you try “ignorance”, the cost would be even higher5. To sample widely and challenge my self, I am going to venture out of my comfort zone and dowhat I have not had the courage to do. For instance, I will make friends with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. I will take a swimming class and learn how to swim. Iwil attend unconventional lectures, join student clubs, and try all kinds of food. Most of all, I will do whatever it takes to make the most of the four years and try to become a well-rounded graduate.Language focusWords in use31 confidence2 explore3 emerged4 assume5 pose6 comprehensive7 resources 8 yield 9 inherited 10 transmitWord building4Words learned new words formed-uncover uncovereasy uneasyload unload-antapplyapplicantresist resistant account accountant -ifysimple amplify note notify quality qualify class classify51. classified2. assist3. resistant4. uncovered5. uneasy6. qualify7. unloading8. applicants9. simplified10. accountant11. notifiedbanked cloze61 D2 H 3A 4B 5M 6 F 7O 8 I 9 G 10 JExpressions in use71. got by2. make the most of3. in advance4. over time5. reap the benefits of6. all at once7. remind… of8. stand a chance of9. open the door to10. take pleasure inTranslation汉译英11. 孔子是中国历史上著名的思想家、教育家，是儒家学派（Confucianism）的创始人，被尊称为古代的"圣人"（sage）。

Reference
Campus Life in the University
The short video presents before us a very exciting, colorful and yet challenging college life. It is exciting because the college or university is the place where we can grow up, and where we can change from an innocent boy or girl to someone who knows exactly what to do. We can not only acquire a lot of book learning in the classroom lectures, we can also make good use of the library to explore the knowledge by ourselves. As the film says, the college life is about ourselves. During a few years of study, we are going to make a great improvement. It is colorful because all types of extracurricular activities such as sports meets, speech contests, and different social gatherings and dancing parties provide opportunities to make new friends.

He is a mysterious figure known chiefly through the accounts of later classical writers, especially the writings of his most famous student Plato. Socrates has become well known for his contribution to the field of ethics. His method of teaching, known as the Socratic Method, by asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to explain ideas remains a commonly used tool in a wide range of discussions. He also made important and lasting contributions to the field of epistemology (认识论) and logic, and the influence of his ideas and approach remains a strong foundation for Western philosophy that followed. Socrates was the most colorful figure in the history of ancient philosophy. His fame was widespread in his own time, and his name soon became a household word although he constructedno philosophical system, established no school, and founded no sect (宗派).苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家，被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。

由于这种积极的教学方法，我踊跃回答各种问题，从不怕答错。

两年中，我的成绩一直名列前茅。

到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语。

然而，高中时的经历与以前大不相同。

以前，老师对所有的学生都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。

多么忙不重要，为什么忙才重要。

by 小熊Learning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most rewarding experiences of my life.Although at times learning a language was frustrating, it was well worth the effort.My experience with learning a foreign language began in junior middle school, when I took my first English class.I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students.Because of this positive method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, never worrying much about making mistakes.I was at the top of my class for two years.When I went to senior middle school, I was eager to continue studying English; however, my experience in senior middle school was very different from before.While my former teacher had been patient with all of the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers.Whenever we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick at us and, shaking it up and down, shouted, "No! No! No!"It didn't take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions.Not only did I lose my joy in answering questions, but I also lost my desire to say anything at all in English.However, that state didn't last long.When I went to college, I learned that all students were required to take an English course.Unlike my senior middle school teacher, my college English teachers were patient and kind, and none of them carried long, pointed sticks!The situation was far from perfect, though.As our classes were very large, I was only able to answer a couple of questions in each class period.Also, after a few weeks of classes, I noticed there were many students who spoke much better than I did.I began to feel intimidated.So, once again, although for different reasons, I was afraid to speak.It seemed my English was going to stay at the same level forever.That was the situation until a couple of years later when I was offered an opportunity to study English through an online course.The communication medium was a computer, a phone line, and a modem.I soon got access to the necessary equipment, learned how to use the technology froma friend and participated in the virtual classroom 5 to 7 days a week.Online learning is not easier than regular classroom study;it requires a lot of time, commitment and discipline to keep up with the flow of the course.I worked hard to meet the minimum standards set by the course and to complete assignments on time.I practiced all the time.I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went, as well as a notebook in which I listed any new words I heard.I made many, sometimes embarrassing, mistakes.Once in a while I cried out of frustration, and sometimes I felt like giving up. But I didn't feel intimidated by students who spoke faster than I did because I took all the time I needed to think out my ideas and wrote a reply before posting it on the screen.Then, one day I realized I could understand just about everything I came across, and most importantly, I could "say" anything I wanted to in English.Although I was still making many mistakes and was continually learning new ways to say things, I had finally reaped the benefits of all of my hard work.Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience for me, but one that I wouldn't trade for anything.Not only did learning another language teach me the value of hard work, but it also gave me insights into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things.The most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that I could communicate with many more people than before.Talking with people is one of my favorite activities, so being able to speak a new language lets me meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new, unforgettable friendships.Now that I speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when English is being spoken,I can participate and make friends.I am able to reach out to others and bridge the gap between my language and culture and theirs.by 小熊。
