综合英语四第十四单元

综合教程第四册Unit 14I. Background人就是这样，往往身在福中不知福。

以前住在陋巷茅屋的农村，则向往高楼大厦的城市;如今真的住上城市的高楼大厦，却又羡慕起农村的田园风光来了。

其实，城市有城市的烦恼和无奈。

城市的天被高楼大厦挤成一条缝，城市的地大都压在高楼大厦底下;城市的阳光被高楼大厦截留;城市的空气被车流、人流、工厂搅得污浊不堪……先说住吧。

城市里的人绝大多数住在千篇一律的方格式楼上，被钢筋水泥包围着，很容易让人联想起养殖专业户的兔笼鸡舍。

人们困在加防盗网的楼内，心潮有时不免涌出被囚禁的涟漪。

住高也不想望远，因为进入你眼帘的是让你生厌和乏味的多胞胎似的楼群。

这还在其次。

一个楼洞里三教九流良莠杂居，老死不相往来，很难找到农村那种借来往还、互相帮助、互相怜惜的浓浓的人际况味和绵绵的温馨乡情。

再说逛街吧。

逛街本是件轻松惬意的事，可那好像是赶时间参加联合国大会的滚滚车流、人流，让你毫无安全感，尤其是那些擦身呼啸而过的摩托车，见了让人胆寒。

顾命要紧，还是躲远点吧。

......怪不得人家发达国家的有钱人，纷纷花巨资到远离城市的山麓、水畔、林边去建造别墅，尽情地欣赏那湖光山色，享受那田园风光，呼吸那清新空气，沐浴那灿烂阳光，原来是躲避城市的喧嚣和无奈。

II. Analysis of the Text本文是一篇典型的议论文，可分为三个部分:Part I(Paragraphs 1-2)作者提出自己的论点，残忍的个性和分裂的城市生活与建设城市的目的和人的本性是相背的。

因此是愚蠢的。

作者从他们在城市中的生活的角度将人类和老鼠进行厂对比，文章首先描述了晚上文明的城市生活，而此时也是老鼠在城市里活跃的时候，然后将两者的城市生活进行了对比，最后作者提出了自己的论点，和群居的老鼠相比，人类的城市生活是独立的和充满竞争性的，因此是愚蠢的。

Part II(Paragraphs 3－9)作者提出了愚蠢的城市生活和证据。

综合英语教程4 第二版 Paraphrase 答案整理 Unit 1- Unit 14

Unit 4IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences taken from the text.Unit 11.…there has been this long lull with nothing particular up!…Britain has been in too long a period of stillness without taking any particular action against the enemy!2.…we must “… meet with Triumph and Disaster. And treat those two impostorsjust the same.”…we are sure to experience both Triumph and Disaster, and we must treat them as the same thing different appearances because they are essentially interchangeable.3.…never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.…never give in unless we are convinced that it is honourable and sensible for us to do so.4.Britain, other nations thought, had drawn a sponge across her slate.Other nations thought that Britain was completely conquered.5.…we have only to persevere to conquer.…we will win as long as we hold on to the end.Unit 21.The phrase “personal space” has a quaint, seventies ring to it.The phrase “personal space” has an odd touch that was characteristic of the 1970s.2.T-shirt weather can make proximity more alluring (or much, or less).In hot summer days, people can be drawn to each other, especially to the opposite sex (or feel disgusted with the closeness of others.)3.The logistics of it vary according to geography.People in different regions are given different sizes of personal space. 4.…individuals routinely commandeer booths and sets of facing seats meant forfoursomes.…it is quite common that one person occupies a booth and a set of facing seats designed for four people.5.Even the focus of science these days is micro, not macro.Even science focuses on the intra-personal, inner world rather than theinterpersonal, outer society these days.6.In the same way that the breeze from a butterfly’s wings in Japan may eventuallyproduce a tidal in California, I have decided to expand the contracting boundaries of personal space.Because the initial invasion of personal space can cause a chain of reactions,which may bring about a catastrophic consequence, as the breeze from abutterfly’s wings in Japan, if it initiates a chain of waves, may eventually producea tidal wave in California, I have decided to enlarge the shrinking personal space.Unit 31.Given the relatively few restrictions governing access and usage, it is thecommunications modal equivalent of international waters.As there are relatively few restrictions for reaching and using the Internet,communications via the Internet are comparable to traveling through theinternational waterways.2.But much less widely reported has been the notion that the Internet may beresponsible for furthering the fragmentation of society by alienating its individual users.A lot of people talk about the “new information age”, but not so many people areacquainted with the idea that the Internet separates people from each other and fragments society further as a result.3.It seems to me that we are a society that values immediate gratification above allelse, and what better place to achieve it than in cyberspace, where the cyber-world is your cyber-oyster.I think that in our society the top priority is given to the satisfaction of one’simmediate needs. The Internet is the best tool for this purpose, for on the Internet one can do whatever he likes to.Unit 41.It was therefore left to Yamahata to record, methodically – and, as it happens, witha great and simple artistry – the effects ...The responsibility was therefore placed on Yamahata’s shoulders to record the effects systematically and incidentally with a great and simple artistry.2.That absence, even more than wreckage, contains the heart of the matter.That vanished city rather than its remains represents the true measure of the event.3.In the photographs, Nagasaki comes into its own.In the photographs, Nagasaki regains its own status.4.… the human imagination had stumbled to exhaustion in the wreckage of the firstruined city without reaching even the outskirts of the second.… the human imagination had been exhausted and stopped at the wreckage of the first ruined city and failed to reach even the outskirts of Nagasaki.5.… we seem to need, in addition, some other picture to counterpoise against ruinedNagasaki ...… apart from the pictures of Nagasaki we seen to need some other picture toinspire in us a hope of life to counterbalance the sense of doom suggested by the ruined Nagasaki…Unit 51.Slowly, it planned across the tapestry of friendship…Slowly, the movie gave a panoramic picture of friendship…2.This wasn’t just another binge of trendiness, but a kind of cinema verite.This was not simply a shift from one fashion to another, but a truthful description of friendship.3.Well, that duality must have been mortally wounded in some shoot- out at theYou’re OK, I’m OK Corral.The two sides must have been mortally wounded in the OK Corral gunfight.4.Buddies hang tough together; friends hang onto each other.Buddies hold on together in face of adversity; friends cling tightly to each other for emotional support.Unit 61.July 4 is one of the times when the American in me feels a twinge of unease aboutthe great lacunae in our children’s understanding of who they are and is prompted to try to fill the gaps.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 thusI am motivated to do something to fill the gaps.2.And our physical separation from our native land is not much of an issue.And living away from our native country does not matter much (in our children’s acquisition of our native language).3.In my day little French kids looked like nothing other than little French kids…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.That experience no longer seems possible in Western countries – a saddevelopment, in my view.Full immersion in a truly foreign world no longer seems possible in Westerncountries, and I think this is a deplorable impact of globalization upon the growth of children in a foreign country.Unit 71.He was almost innocent of any sense of responsibility.→He almost had no sense of responsibility.2.He wrote begging letters by the score,sometimes groveling without shame,at other s loftily offering his intended benefactor the privilege of contributing to his support,a nd being mortally offended of the recipient declined the honor.→He wrote a large number of letters to his patron without shame,begging for money. But in a manner that it seemed a great honor for the patron to be offered the chance s upport him.That’s why he would be greatly offended if the patron refused to tale the honor.3.He would pull endless wires in order to meet some man who admired his work and was able and anxious to be of use to him.→he would use the influences from as many people as possible to meet his admirer w ho was readily useful to him.4.Is it any wonder he had no time to be a man?→Wagner was such a miraculous monster,is it any wonder that he didn’t behave like a normal human being in this world?Unit 81.“Yes,down,”he says.→“Yes,I’m going down,”he says.(Literally,he means that he is going down with the bed,but metaphorically he means that his physical condition is going from bad to wo rse.2.It is a sound you have never heard.It is something new under the sun.It could cure cancer.→And then he laughs.The wild,relaxed laughter is a totally new sound in the world t hat you have never heard.The laughter could cure cancer.3.She looks over at me shaking her head and making her mouth go.→The aide looks over at me,shaking her head to express her frustration and pursing h er lips to signal her annoyance,I understand that we are to cooperate.Unit 91.he couldn’t stand not being a part of our school.→He wanted very much to be a teacher of our school.2.we found a kinship→we found a strong connection between.3.I supported myself by sweeping foot floors of off-Broadway stages→I supported myself by sweeping floors of off-broadway stages before there was an y new role of me to play.4.He was still living in a world vibrant with all of the beautiful treasures he has stored →he was still living in a world that was exciting and lively because of all the beautif ul poems he had memorized.Unit101.Urban life,during the hours when they reign,is urbane.→Rats make city life orderly and courteous when they dominate the city deep at nigh t.2.City dwellers take the city with them to the country,for they will not live without is pamperings.→City dwellers create all kinds of fashion in the country,for they will not live witho ut these fashionable things.3.These windows are a scandal because they endanger the lives of office workers in c ase of fire.→These windows are disgraceful because they put the lives of office workers in dan ger if a fire should occur.4.No true sense of the rhythms of the seasons is to be had from a lawn in the backyard and a few spindly trees struggling to survive.→a lawn in the backyard and a few spindle-shaped trees struggling for life are not en ough to give the dweller any true sense of the season changes.Unit 111 .Nothing remains of it but memories and a fringe of dwelling houses on its outskirts.→Except for some dwelling houses on its suburbs,San Francisco has almost complet ely disappeared from the world and only remains in people’s memories.2.There was no withstanding the onrush of the flames.→Nothing could stop the advancement of the flames.3.An enumeration of the deeds of heroism would stock a library and bankrupt the Car negie medal fund.→The courageous and brave deeds in the firefighting would fill up a library if related in writing and exhaust the Carnegie medal fund if rewarded.4.Sometimes a whole family was harnessed to a carriage or delivery wagon that was weighted down with their possessions.→Sometimes all members of a family fastened themselves with straps to a carriage or delivery wagon that was heavily loaded with their possessions.5.And against this wall of flames,silhouetted sharply,were two United States cavalry men sitting their horse,calmly watching.→Two United States soldiers sat astride on their horse and calmly watched the conflagration,their shapes contrasting sharply with the wall.Unit121.It is an insidious practice,all the uglier for its blatancy.→The media’s malicious use of the small segment of black America to represent the whole of it is harmful and offensive.2.The free press,indeed,as the main interpreter of American culture and American e xperience,holds the mirror on American reality－so much so that what the media sa y is,even if it’s not that way at all.→The media are supposed to present American culture and American experience trut hfully by reflecting American reality,and people usually accept news reports as truth without any doubt.Unfortunately,in many cases what they present is anything but the truth.The distorted,inaccurate coverage of news is worse than covering nothing at all about blacks.4.Nor is it a matter of closing one’s eyes to the very real problems of the urban under class－which undeniably is disproportionately black.→We should never ignore the existence of real problems of the urban underclass－w hich undeniably is disproportionately black.5.For the millions of black people like myself－ordinary,hard-working,law-abiding ,tax-paying Americans－the media’s blindness to the fact that we even exist,let alo ne to our contributions to American society,is a bitter cup to drink.→Most black people work hard,obey the law and pay all kinds of taxes.We have ma de our contributions to American society,as all the other Americans have.Unit 131.Their cynical attitude to marriage may be gathered from the enthusiastic reception they gave to Punch’s advice to those about to marry -“Don’t.”→From the way they enthusiastically received the “Don’t advice given in themagazine Punch, we can tell that they adopted a skeptical attitude to marriage.2.The humour was crude; but it went home to the honest Victorian heart.→Although the humor might sound offensively rude, it was readily accepted by people in the Victorian era.3. “The marriage state, with and without the affection suitable to it, is the completest image of Heaven and Hell we are capable of receiving in this life.”→The marriage state, whether there is love involved or not, is a combination of the happiness and misery we may encounter in life.Unit 141.Everywhere, the media flow defies national boundaries. (Paragraph 1)→Throughout the world, the modern electronic media flow across national boundaries. / Throughout the world, the media flow is not barred by national boundaries.2.Just as their “cultures”are neither hard-wired nor uniform, so there is no simple way in which they are “Americanized”,though there are American tags on their experience －low-cost links to status and fun.→For young people, cultures are not innate or unvarying. They don’t simply become Americanized although they may have contact with American fun culture at little cost.3. The empire strikes from inside the spectator as well as from outside.→American pop culture not only impacts on the more material side of young people’s lives but also touches their hearts with great force.。

Book 4-Unit 14
3. In what situations do you think lying is permissible?
Many people agree that it is permissible to tell “white lies”, which are polite, harmless falsehoods aimed at protecting others or avoid hurting their feelings. In the story, Cocky would be justified to deceive the German soldiers. Something more important was at stake than the principle of never telling a lie. Here is some information that you may like to use with your students: According to a recent survey by Psychologist Bella DePaulo of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, among a group of 77 college students and 70 other citizens, aged 18 to 71, students lied in one of every three interactions and the non-students lied in one of every five encounters. The researchers found that more falsehoods were told to save face or enhance the liar’s image than to achieve material gain. A quarter were “white lies”, told to benefit others in some way or spare their feelings. “If everyone told the truth all the time, it would be a disaster.” said Dr. DePaulo. “I’ve had students try to make it through two weeks telling only the truth,” she said. “They couldn’t do it.” (Some situations where lies are permissible: illness, death, in war, greeting, compliment, etc)

大学英语综合教程四Unit14答案

Unit 14Text ComprehensionI. Decide which of the following best state the author’s purpose of writing.BII. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1. F. Refer to Para.2. It is human beings who bring the rat race intot the human society. The rat race doesn’t mean the fierce competetion between rats but between human beings themselves.2. F. Refer to Para. 2. It tells us that the opposite is true. Urban life today is aggressively individualistic and atomized. Cities are not social places.3. T. Refer to Para.4.4. T. Refer to Para. 4.5. F. Refer to Para.. 5 and6. According to the author, work in the rural areas is meaningful whereas the frenzy of the urban work hours is pointless. When the farmer walks to his farm in the morning, he is doing soemthign significant. By contrast, the city worker is starting the firt idiocy of his day when he is getting ready for his journey to work at this time of the day.6. T. Refer to Para.7.III. Answer the following questions.1. The author mentions rats at the beginning of the article for the purpose of contrasting rats with human beings. In a sense, both rats and human beings are city dwellers, but there are differences between them in terms of life in the city. As natural inhabitants of the city, rats are social creatures and lead a stable urban life. By contrast, most human dwellers do not enjoy the urban life but live outside the city boundaries; and they live an individualistic and atomized rather than gregarious lfie. Therefore, relatively speaking, rats are true city dwellers.2. The idiocy of the practice lies in the pretence of the city dwellers. For one thing, they disdain rural life on the one hand, and on the other hand they try to simulate it by creating large or small patches of greenery around their suburb,exurb or rururb residences. For another, while they intend to live a rural life by going to the country, they have in fact spoiled the natrual features of the rural areas and created urban surroundings where they have settled down. As a result their purpose fails in the end.3. The author’s saying so reflects his attitude towards the office work in the city. Unlike farming which is part of the rural home life, joyless work in the city is separated, both physically and emotionally, from the home life and consequently causes unnecessary frenzy. The worker’s going to and from work wastes a lot of time and thus is pointless, and yet the worker “not only accepts but even seeks” it. Hence the idiocy of “the journey to work”.4. The quoted statement describes in what environment the city dweller lives and works. With the windows that never open, the modern office, artificially cooled in summer and heated in winter, alienates the worker from the true natural world. The home surroundings are no better. They provide the dweller with no true sense of the seasons either. In general, the city dweller is removed from nature and submerged in a man-made environment every day.5. This phenomenon is caused by the demerits of the office work. Compared with the physical labor in the rural life, the office work in the city needs very little physical exertion, but it requires long-time sitting with the same posture every day. Even the after-work exercises cannot compensate for the damage done to the physical construction of the worker during the work hours.This accounts for the round-shoulderedness of Americans.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences taken from the text.1.Rats make city lfie orderly and courteous when they dominate the city deep at night.2.City dwellers creates all kinds of vogues in the journey, for they will not live without thesefashionable things.3.

The past has left many traces, including traditions, folk tales, works of art, archaeological objects, and books and other written records. Historians use all these sources, but they mainly study the past as it has been recorded in written documents.

They are not only dwellers in nature, but also transformers of it. With the development of society and its economy, people tend to become less dependent on nature directly, but indirectly their dependence grows.Human beings are connected with nature by “blood” ties. No one can live outside nature. However, the previous dynamic balance between man and nature has shown signs of breaking down. Problems such as the population explosion, ecological imbalance and the shortage of natural resources have become major factors keeping human society from being further developed.Professor Spirkin holds that the only choice for human beings is the wise organization of production and care for Mother Nature.Theme-Related Writing▆ Write an essay of no less than 150 words on the topic “My Understanding of Environmental Protection”. Your writing should cover the following points:1) the relationship between man and the environment2) the urgency of environmental protection3) ways to protect the environment▆Sample essayMy Understanding of Environmental ProtectionMan and the environment are closely related. Man relies on the environment for water, food and shelter. A harmonious relationship between man and the environment is essential for human survival on the earth.However, man and the environment have never been on such bad terms as they are now. As society develops, man’s transformation of nature has severely polluted his living environment. Deforestation leads to changes in rainfall patterns, causing devastating floods, droughts and sandstorms. The discharge of chemical pollutants endangers our health and the lives of other beings. And mass production has resulted in the shortage of irreplaceable natural resources such as coal and oil. If we take no immediate and effective steps to protect our environment, human beings may be the next species to become extinct.We should do our best to protect our environment by planting more trees, taking care of wildlife, reducing industrial wastes, using renewable energy, and imposing heavy fines on environmentally-unfriendly activities, so as to preserve the environment for future generations.(167 words)Unit TwoMan and TechnologyEnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▆ Working with Words and Expressions3.In the box below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

With the development of science and technology, people’s standard of living is getting higher and higher. People’s life expectancy has soared, too.However, oddly enough, many people do not feel happier than they used to be. It can be seen that there is no close correlation between people’s income and their happiness. Happiness cannot, after all, be bought with money.Although the majority of people are not very satisfied with their lives, they are happy to be alive, and the more time they live on earth, the better off they feel they’ll be. What is important is that material wealth is far from enough. People need spiritual happiness, too.Theme-Related WritingWrite an essay of no less than 150 words about a technological invention.

It not only enables us to keep in touch with each other almost anytime and anywhere but also helps us solve problems or do business efficiently. In emergencies, a mobile phone can even be a life-saver. Besides, its multi-functions add ease and color to our lives. With a mobile phone, we can receive mail, read news, listen to music, play games, and take pictures.Yet, the mobile phone has its disadvantages, too. Most of us have experienced the nuisance of unwanted or wrong calls. We are inconvenienced by calls on occasions when we least expect one. Besides, the technology infrastructure to support mobile communication has consumed valuable natural resources and caused significant environmental problems. It is reported that electromagnetic radiation waves from the phone may result in health problems.Despite its negative side, the advantages of the mobile phone outweigh its disadvantages. I believe that with advances in science and technology, improved and safer models of mobile phones will surely serve us still better.(184 words)Unit ThreeFame and SuccessEnhance Your Language Awareness Words in ActionWorking with Words and Expressions1.

We will reach the peak in half anhour.2.Translate the following passage into English.▆ Answers for reference:Many people want to be famous because fame can bring them both honor and respect from the public. In most cases, fame can also help them gain wealth. But, after all, very few people can really become famous while most people, including most artists, are unlikely to become famous.It is true that some failure for some people at certain times in their lives does motivate them to strive even harder so as to achieve final success. For example, Thomas Edison, the famous American inventor, had tried hundreds of materials before he finally found the suitable fuse for the electric bulb. However, unfortunately, for most people failure is the end of their struggle.Therefore, in my opinion, success is one thing and fame is another. As long as you have tried your best, you’re already successful whether you are famous or not.Theme-Related WritingWrite a composition of no less than 150 words on the topic “Fame —Good or Evil?”. Your paper should cover the following points:1) the advantages of being famous2) the disadvantages of being famous3) your attitude towards fameSample essay:Fame — Good or Evil?Fame has always been pursued by many people for the advantages it brings about. Fame can assure one of a high social status, high regard, great admiration, etc.Fame can also bring one wealth as a celebrity has more chances to earn big money. Besides, the applause and flowers from fans may boost one’s self-confidence and increase one’s sense of fulfillment.However, fame can ruin one’s life, too. It deprives one of his privacy. As a public figure, he is often chased by fans and journalists, and his private life never escapes the media’s attention or public curiosity. Fame also places one under great pressure. He has to work in line with public expectations and thus becomes the slave of his own success.So fame is a double-edged sword. I don’t seek fame and I don’t envy those who are famous.I highly appreciate what the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow says about fame: “The talent of success is nothing more than doing well whatever you do without a thought of fame.”Unit FOUREnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action▇Working with Words and Expressions1 In the boxes below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.
