UNIT 1陌生人的善意1 一年夏天，我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。
在沙漠深处，我碰到一个年轻人站在路旁。
他一只手打出拇指向外的手势，另一只手里拿着一个汽油罐。
我直接从他身边开过去了。
别人会停下来的，我想。
再说，那汽油罐只是个让车停下、好抢劫司机的幌子而已。
在这个国家，曾有那么一段时间，你要是对需要帮助的人置之不理，大家会认为你是混蛋，而如今你要是帮了你就是笨蛋。
到处潜伏着犯罪团伙、吸毒上瘾者、杀人犯、强奸犯、盗窃犯还有劫车犯，为什么要冒险呢？“我不想卷进去”已经成为全国性的信条。
2 开过了几个州以后，我还在想着那个想搭便车的人。
把他一个人留在沙漠中倒并没有让我有多么不安。
让我不安的是，我多么轻易地就做出了这个决定。
我甚至根本没把脚从油门上抬起来。
我很想知道，现在还有人会停车吗？3 我想到我此行的目的地——新奥尔良。
那里是田纳西•威廉姆斯的剧作《欲望号街车》的背景地。
我回想起布兰奇•杜波依斯的名句：“我总是依赖陌生人的善意。
”4 陌生人的善意。
听起来好怪。
如今这年头还有谁能指望陌生人的善意吗？5 要验证这一点，一个办法是一个人从东海岸旅行到西海岸，不带一分钱，完全依靠美国同胞的善意。
他会发现一个什么样的美国？谁会给他饭吃、让他歇脚、捎他一程呢？6 这个念头激起了我的好奇心。
但谁会这么不切实际、愿意去尝试这样一次旅行呢？好吧，我想，那不如我来试试？7 满37岁那个星期，我意识到我这辈子还从没冒过什么险呢。
所以我决定来个观念的跨越，美洲大陆那么宽——从太平洋去大西洋，不带一分钱。
要是有人给我钱，我会拒绝。
我只接受搭顺风车、提供食物和让我歇脚的帮助。
这将是在这片金钱至上的土地上的一次身无分文的旅行。
我的最终目的地是北卡罗来纳州的“恐惧角”（即开普菲尔），它象征着我沿途必须克服的所有恐惧。
8 1994年9月6日，我早早起床，背起一个50磅重的包，朝金门桥走去。
我从背包里拿出一个牌子，向过路的车辆展示我的目的地：“美利坚”。

They were studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools in Nanjing.2. Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying to place the key into the slot of the key box during their stay at the Jinling Hotel.3. They would come over to watch Benjamin and then try to teach him how to do it properly.-4. Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasks in China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.5. Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.6. He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that on can solve a problem effectively by oneself.7. He means that this incident pointed to importantdifferences in educational and artistic practices between China and the USA.8. The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guiding his hand in the characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided.9. One example is of children at the age of 5 or 6 painting flowers, fish and animals skillfully and confidently; in a second example, calligraphers 9 and 10 years old were producing works; and in a third, young artists work on perfecting their craft for several hours a day. 10. Americans think that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge, and skills can be picked up later. Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11. This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12. The author makes the suggestion that we should strike a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills.Text Organization'Working On Your Own1.1) The text begins with an anecdote.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches tolearning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form of a question.2.

Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.Unit2 ValuesPart II Reading TaskComprehensionContent QuestionPair Work1.

And, playing video games can be a waste of time, which is bad for their studies.Second, in some video games, they can shoot and kill others for fun. This can have a bad influence on their development.

大学英语(2)部分课后练习答案及课文译文
解析：过去分词短语相当于一个定语从句，与主语的逻辑关系为被动关 系，相当于“which is founded”。整个句子的意思是：“创建于1951年的 国际研究大学是一所军事学院。”
10. C 解析：本题需要选择whose来充当关系代词，作定语修饰名词，相当于 所修饰成分的前置所有格。整个句子的意思是：“一个我不知道名字的 学生来看望我。”
3. D 解析：在4个选项中，除了as能够引导非限制性定语从句外，其余都不 可以。整个句子的意思是：“代表们提出了许多提议，这正是我们所希 望的。”
4. A 解析：因为one of前有定冠词the，所以定语从句应该是修饰one的，谓 语动词要用第三人称单数。整个句子的意思是：“玛丽是唯一要被转走 的队员。”
13. D 解析：句子的意思是：“这就是我所想告诉你的”。这是一个表语从 句，后面句子缺少一个作tell宾语的连接词，因此只能选择what。 14. C 解析：句子的意思是：“班里的同学们不理解这句话的意思是什 么。”疑问句作宾语从句时语序应该使用陈述句的语序，其他选项都不 是陈述句语序，故正确但为C。 15. B 解析：及物动词doubt后面缺少一个宾语，由于宾语部分已经完整，这 里只需要连词that起连接作用，而且在句子里不充当成分。句子的意思 是：“我们不怀疑他能做的很好。”
11. B 解析：第一个空需要选择when来引导定语从句表示时间，一般来讲表 示时间“time”一词的定语从句只用when引导。第二个空需要选择表示地 点的关系副词where来引导定语从句。整个句子的意思是：“人类在宇宙 中随心所欲自由飞翔的日子终归会到来。”
12. D 解析：本题考查判断关系代词和关系副词的区别。此时需要准确判断先 行词在定语从句中的成分(主、谓、宾、定、状)。在本题中所缺部分为 宾语，而where, that, on which都不能起到宾语的作用，只有the one既可 作主句的表语，又可作从句的宾语，更重要的是它可以省略关系代词。 整个句子的意思是：“这是你几天前参观的那家博物馆吗？”

• Analysis: The article begins by introducing two types of people: those who are knowledgeable but incapable of applying their knowledge, and those who lack formal education but possess practical skills. The author then goes on to explain that success depends not on the amount of knowledge one has, but on the ability to apply that knowledge effectively. This is supported by examples of successful individuals who lack traditional education but have excelled due to their practical skills and problem-solving abilities.

Reference:
Einstein was right because he himself was passionately curious when he was young. His curiosity was sparked by wanting to know what controlled the compass needle and this led to his later success.
At age 12, Albert Einstein came upon a set of ideas that impressed him as “holy.” It was a little book on Euclidean plane geometry. The concept that one could prove theorems of angles and lines that were in no way obvious made an “indescribable impression” on the young student. He adopted mathematics as the tool he would use to pursue his curiosity and prove what he would discover about the behavior of the universe.

They were studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools in Nanjing.2. Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying to place the key into the slot of the key box during their stay at the Jinling Hotel.3. They would come over to watch Benjamin and then try to teach him how to do it properly.4. Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasks in China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.5. Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.6. He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that on can solve a problem effectively by oneself.7. He means that this incident pointed to important differences in educational and artistic practices between China and the USA.8. The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guiding his hand in the characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided.9. One example is of children at the age of 5 or 6 painting flowers, fish and animals skillfully and confidently; in a second example, calligraphers 9 and 10 years old were producing works; and in a third, young artists work on perfecting their craft for several hours a day. 10. Americans think that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge, and skills can be picked up later. Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11. This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12. The author makes the suggestion that we should strike a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills.Text OrganizationWorking On Your Own1.1) The text begins with an anecdote.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form of a question.2.

Besides, learning by heart as many well-writtenessays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous storeof good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.Unit2 ValuesPart II Reading TaskComprehensionContent QuestionPair Work1.
