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 andto 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.

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.

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.

He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. (Para. 1) By doing so, the young man was telling the passing drivers that he wanted to hitchhike as his car had run out of gas.2) The week I turned 37, I realized I‘d never taken a gamble in my life.

(Para. 7)The author is being a bit sarcastic here. He would take no money with him and travel across the US, where it is believed thatmoney can do everything and anything. The phrase "almighty dollar" is a playful allusion to the familiar term "Almighty God"4) Yet I was treated with kindness in every state I traveled. I was amazed by the stubborn capacity of Americans to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests. (Para. 11)I was amazed by the continual show of kindness of my fellow Americans, even though helping a stranger would mean taking a risk.5) I didn‘t know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping. (Para. 13)The author had mixed feelings: whether to kiss the two women for their kindness, or give them a lesson by cautioning them not to trust any stranger, for they could have run into a bad person instead of himself.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Choose the definition in Column B that best matches each italicized word in Column A.1) c2) d3)a4) j5)h6)b7) e8) i9) g10) f2 A synonym is a word that has the same or nearly the samemeaning as another word.

The driver should perform his duties well and the passengers should obey the written and unwritten rules. There should be no smoking, no littering, and everyone should behave in a polite and decent manner. Under such circumstances, names are no longer important.3) What can we learn about the silent woman from Para. 5?The silent woman always sits up front and never responds to others‘ greetings.

Talking is hard for her.9) What do you know about the silent woman‘s family life?She is a single mother with a disabled son who is receiving special care away from home.

The Sunday-morning bus ride is the best thing she does all week, and an occasional visit to the fish restaurant is almost as good as the second best thing. She rides the Sunday-morning bus simply for the companionship of the driver whose name she doesn't know, but who appreciates the hot coffee she brings.10) How did the author and his wife feel about the dinner with the silent woman?They all had a wonderful time.

新概念英语课后练习题答案第二册：Lesson 96
新概念英语课后练习题答案第二册：Lesson 96新概念英语第二册课后习题lesson 961. d从课文第1-3行能够看出，只有d. the dead are welcomed home by the living 与课文内容相符，并能说明这个节日为什么是欢乐的，而其他3个选择虽然都是课文所涉及的内容，但不是这节日欢乐的原因，所以选d.2. c根据课文第5-6行，只有c. they are supposed to help the dead to find their way 与课文内容相符合，而其他3个选择都与课文内容不符。
所以选c.3. c这是一个针对频度提问的疑问句，回答是only once a year (一年只有一次)，需要选一个合适的疑问词，使其与回答相符。
a. how much 是问不可数名词的多少，而不是问频度的;b. how many (多少)和d. which times (哪些时候)也不是问频度的;只有c. how many times (多少次)能够对频度提问，并与回答相符合，所以应该选c.4. b本句是将前面的被动语态句the dead are said to return (据说死去的人要回来)变成了主动语态，需要选出合适的主语和谓语。
a. it is saying 不合乎逻辑，因为主动语态的主语应该是人，不应该用it 做主语;c. people are said 是被动语态，不合乎逻辑和语法;d. it said 也不准确，因为主语是it,不是人;只有b. people say 是主动语态并且是以人作主语，最合乎语法和题目意思。
5. a本句需要一个同前一句的时间状语all night long(整个夜晚)含义相同的短语，才能使两个句子意义相同。
b. in all the night 不符合习惯用法，应将介词in 去掉才准确;c. the night long 不是准确的表达方式，意义不通顺;d. in the night 不合乎语法，应该是at night;只有a. during the whole night(整个夜晚)既合乎语法也合乎题目意思，所以选a.6. d这是一个含有if 引导的条件从句的句子，主句用的是一般将来时，if 从句应该用一般现在时才合乎语法规则。

It was ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institutions of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight. So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President. The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equality advocate.★Text BComprehension Check: b a d b d c aLanguage Practice1. b d a e g c f h2.1) crisis 2) weighed down 3) supportive 4) takes all the credit 5) pleaded6) in control of 7) party 8) expense 9) lives for 10) semester11) at every opportunity 12) stirUnit 7★Text AVocabularyI.1. 1) S trictly s peaking 2) d rifted 3) r esembles 4) i nvaded 5) i s c onquered 6) f ascinating 7) s nack 8) p ut…into practice 9) source 10) climate 11) surrendered 12) were aroused2. 1) an absolute necessity rather than a luxury 2) is a valuable addition to the football team.3) will get out of control, if the firemen do not arrive within ten minutes.4) alternative but to g via Vancouver to get to Seattle5) declared a ll b eef i mports w ill b e banned f or t he next s ix months as a n e mergency m easure t ostop the spread of mad c ow disease.3. 1) systematic, have invented, to a very real extent, mysteries2) to establish, to be modifies/ modifying 3) tolerance towards, strike out, enrichII. 1. a) wish b) wish c) want d) want/wish 2. a) skin b) hide/skin c) hide d) skin3. a) raise/rear b) raise c) rear/raise d) raise4. a) royal b) kingly/royal c) sovereignd) royal/kinglyIII. 1.

Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to manypeople，linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language : American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.★Text BComprehension Check: c c c d b dLanguage Practice1. g e d c b h f a2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5) in transition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) had contributed to 11) unique12) rid yourself ofUnit 8VocabularyI. 1) barking 2) evil 3) brooding, hatched 4) migrant 5) tragedies 6) counterpart7) are complaining/complain 8) grim 9) flocks, fed on 10) vegetation11) patches 12) Scores of2. 1) was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreign guests2) the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office3) wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed the crowded unnoticed.4) looked deserted 5) were stricken by i t3. 1) patches, came into full bloom, were puzzled, mysterious2) throbbed with, sickened, migrant, a chorus 3) had crept into.

Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in you 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.Unit 2, Book 2V ocabulary1. abrupt emotional bless wear and tear dated consequences seemingly in contrast to Curiosity genuine primarily sentiments2. 1) confronted with more than one problem, try to solve theeasiest one first2) vital to the existence of all forms of life3) some confusion among the students about what to do afterclass to follow up on the subject4) nothing more than a job and an apartment to be happy5) tickled him to think that she’d come to ask his advice3. 1) a lingering fabricating sentiments2) fill out every item vital consequences3) be denied tangible cherish attainCloze 1well-off/affluent dated falling into bracket deny tangible pursuit cherishes out of place abrupt focus donationsCloze 2consume fueled annual plain physically security indicates equally traditional followsTranslation 11)The company denied that its donations had a commercialpurpose.2)Whenever he was angry, he would begin to stammer slightly.3)Education is the most cherished tradition in our family.That’s why my parents never took me to dinner at expensive restaurants, but sent me to the best private school.4)Shortly after he recovered from the surgery, he lost his joband thus had to go through another difficult phase of his life.5)In contrast to our affluent neighbors, my parents are ratherpoor, but they have always tried hard to meet our minimal needs.Translation 2With more and more donations coming in, our university will be much better off financially next year. We will thus be able to focus on the most important task that we, educators, must take on: to encourage students to attain their scholarly/academic goals, to train them to be dependable and responsible individuals, to prepare them for the life ahead, and to guide them in their pursuit of spiritual as well as material satisfaction.Unit 4, Book 2V ocabulary1. conversely but then symptom spittingabusing tone took in editing have arranged in sight stretched data2. 1) smoking cigarettes jars on me2) find themselves getting sucked in3) has arranged for a technician from the computer store tocheck and repair it4) fled their country to avoid military service / fled to othercountries to avoid military service5) restore people’s confidence in it3. 1) the virtual on line via2) nightmare routine any appointment arrange3) cue remarks his tuneCloze 1Internet click virtual routines arrange nightmare annoying connection crawls take in spit data sucked into At times flee on line Cloze 2companion deliver access enables customers delights provides small remote informationTranslation 11)Research shows that laughter can bring a lot of healthbenefits.2)A slow Internet connection speed is really annoying.3)As the law stands, helping someone commit suicide is acrime.4)In her report, Mary tries to interpret the data from acompletely different angle.5)Sue is a girl of great talent.

But that sales boom is【C3】______ based on the disappointing results many Western luxury retailers have reported of late, 【C4】______ much suggests this slowdown will be【C5】______ .

Meanwhile, Prada said it expects the tough times for luxury to continue after its China sales fell 4% in 2014. 【C8】______, Hermes, known for its highly coveted Birkin bags and horse-themed silk scarves that go for thousands of dollars each, has continued to 【C9】______ its stores in China. Why? Because there is【C10】______ data to suggest that luxury' s current slowdown in China is【C11】______ a speed bump. According to a new report by the Economic Intelligence Unit【C12】______ by Citigroup, China' s wealthy will have double the【C13】______ of their U.S counterpart within five years.
