Unit 1 AdvertisingPart A: Comprehending the text1.to inform us of new products or good bargains/help producers to sell their products.… we are exposed to too much advertising now and so much of it is misleading, so many people now ignore it.2.visit some of the attractions of the island, including a trip to an ancient cavern//study thefascinating sea creatures of that area.… use the hotel swimming pool/paddling pool or play on the mini-golf course; visit the less adventurous places of interest ( in an air-conditioned vehicle) such as a local lake.… around Lake Tali.… the accommodation “units”.… the resort is new and the owners claim to be more interested in making the guests happy than making money.3. small, bare, exposed rock in the middle of the ocean.… dangerous because of the many sharks.… there is no water in it.… it is too small and too shallow for the stories to be true.… Bantu Island is a long way away so the money will be traveling further. The expression is not being used in its usual meaning of money lasting longer as things are so cheap.4. to be very careful when reading advertisements and always try to check the information froman independent source before you buy whatever is being advertised.Part C Interpreting the text1.The writer is trying to say that advertising is often very misleading and, in some cases,“legalized lying”. The advertising brochure for Bantu Island is obviously very misleading --- and, although nothing it says is actually a lie, it could be argued that it does not represent the truth.2.Because once they got to the island and saw what it was like, they would not want to go onany tours.3.No, it was very carefully worded so that it would be difficult to prove it told any lies ----simply did not tell the whole truth or misled the reader in different ways. For example, the resort does have a swimming pool (and even a paddling pool) --- it does not actually say that they don’t have any water; it does say that sea creatures abound, it does not say that are sharks, etc.4.We should look carefully at things that seem attractive (and cheap). There is often a problemthat is not obvious. This might also apply to other things, such as a motor vehicle, a new apartment, “special offers” on CDs, books, etc.Developing your skillsBrochure Newspaper______________________________________________________________________________A Once in a Lifetime Holiday A “Never-To-Repeated” Holiday(This means sth very special – so (This means it only happens once because Layout special it cannot ever be repeated.) it was so bad you would never do it again.)A Holiday for All the Family A “Holiday” for Nobody_______________________________________________________________________________ sea creatures sharksbrand-new half-builtcooled blastedrare They don’t existIt omits any details of the size, etc.Choices of of the attractions (e.g. Lake Tali).Information No mention of having to wash ina small stream (i.e. no plumbingor washing facilities in the hotel)._______________________________________________________________________________ … you won’t have a penny more A “Holiday” for Nobody --- the invertedto pay! --- The exclamation mark is commas indicate that the writer feels thesupposed to show the reader what a word “Holiday” is not the correct word.wonderful deal she/he is getting with The “ Beauties of Bantu Island” --- againthe holiday. The inverted commas suggest that “Beauties”does not describe the reality of the Island.“ Air-conditioned”, “back-to-nature”, Punctuation “resort”, “lake”, etc. All these show thatthe writer does not feel the words are beingused with their usual meaning andconnotations._______________________________________________________________________________填空：(Page 10 )Come and eat at the Luxurious and Relaxing “French Kitchen”Enjoy the wonderful selection of tempting dishes from our extensive menu.The magnificent view over the ocean will make it an evening to remember/cherish.Our highly-trained/professional/friendly and experienced/ knowledgeable/polite staff will be delighted/pleased/thrilled to look after your every need and the reasonable/inexpensive prices will pleasantly surprise you.Don’t delay/wait.

Perhaps, too, the writer wants to show that mere statistics (“17,745 lessons do not really prove that the results are good.4.The word suggests an unpleasant experience. The writer was, when a child, the subject---andthe education system was the “boss” the results of the child’s subjection were not good.

The author seems to have some optimism about being fifty.● It is a reference to different perspectives, different attitudes of various ages to “age”.11.●People may think that being old is a misery, but having the years of experience old people help you to live your life in a better way. An alternative interpretation is that it is not simply the old age which makes old people feel miserable. It is the accumulation of their experiences which make them miserable. The second interpretation of a rather wry joke.●Perhaps either as a joke or as a serious (but pessimistic) comment of life, almost certainly made by an older person.● It could reflect a humorous, philosophical, non-serious view; or the opposite, a mournful cry.12.● Experience (“living long”) teaches us how to live well.● Again, perhaps it is more likely to be written than spoken.● Experience over many years is seen as blessings and benefits.13.● Enjoy your youth and make the most of the opportunities which come your way; then, when you are older, you don’t have any regrets that you wasted it.●An older person -----perhaps a parent ----to a younger people; the comment shows wry humor by suggesting that the main preoccupation older people in that they lament their lost youth.● He /She sees youth as priceless and not to be wasted.14.● The general, meaning is that people change as they grow older .the specific meaning of each stage depends on how people understand the metaphors of the animals (and this varies in different cultures). A likely Spanish interpretation is : at twenty people are concerned with their appearance ,at thirty they are brave , at forty they carry heavy burdens ,at fifty they twist and turn and can’t be trusted , at sixty they are loyal ,at seventy they are wise ,at eighty they are nothing .●As it’s rather long, it is more likely to be part of a written paper . Now it could be said by anybody au any stage but probably originally it was written by an older person.●Perhaps it reflects a cynical attitude to the way peopledevelop .perhaps students might here be asked to explain what each of the different creatures at the various stages of life represents in Chinese or other culture.15.● The tide “ebbs” (i.e. its strength and power is lessened) and human beings get older and become less strong. The tide returns as strong as ever and other people are young and their tide is rising.● Spoken or read in a poem.●Perhaps said by someone who, though he /she feels sad, can rationalize and see that there is no reason to be sad.Expanding your vocabulary1 breakthrough noun2 dramatically adverb3 dietary supplements noun4 extended verb5 passively adverb6 contracting noun(gerund)7 eternal adjective8 boosting noun(gerund)9 normally adverb10 controversial adjectiveFurther information● The child is the father of the manChildren grow up to become adults and what happens in childhood is vitally important because adults develop on the basis of their childhood. Just as a child inherits genetics from their parents, the stage of early childhood for an individual is the social “inheritance” of each adult -----this is the basis for the development of the rest of their life (when the child becomes “the man”). Parents have children who grow up; however, children also grow up to become parents, who have children in their turn who also become parents …●Bad is never good until worse happens.When something bad happens it is difficult to see anything good about it .But when something even worse happens, what we thought was bad before doesn’t look so bad after all .Of course, what is “worse”may also seem not so bad when something worse still happens! Our perceptions of what are bad or good events are relative to their events.●Everything changes except change itself.Change is in everything .Only the law that everything changes does not change. On the other hand, if everything changes this should include change itself (the nature of particular changes should change or even the very nature of change itself.) If change changes then this must include no change which would be a change from changing .If change does not change, then there is something to which the law of change does not apply ----which means that not everything changes.●All rules have exceptions, including this one.A rule is general statement .It may include everything in its scope or it may have its exceptions .The problem here is that if the rule is that “all rules have exceptions ” ,then there are exceptions to the rule that “all rules have exceptions ”: does this mean that the rule isn’t a rule or that the exception isn’t an exception or that the exception to the rule that “all rules have exceptions” means that there are no exceptions ,including the exceptions to the rule that “all rules have exceptions ”…?● A sadist is a person who is kind to a masochist.A sadist is someone who gets pleasure from hurting or being cruel to someone else. A masochist is someone who gets pleasure from being hurt. We expect the sadist to be nasty to others, including being nasty to the masochist. But the sadist knows that the masochist wants to be hurt, so being kind to the masochist (who expects to be hurt by the sadist) is a way for the sadist to get pleasure. The problem now is that the sadist is getting pleasure by not hurting someone (which means that the sadist isn’t being a sadist .)A second problem is that the masochist may be getting pleasure by anticipating being hurt (which he enjoys and looks forward to )and may therefore be getting pleasure from the kindness of the sadist (who as the masochist knows ,wants to hurt the masochist )because he anticipates being hurt by not being hurt yet (which means that the masochist isn’t being a masochist ).● Nothing is enough for the person to whom enough is too little .Some people are greedy .They want more than others .they want more than the amount which would satisfy others (and be enough for them ). So for the greedy person “enough” (for others) is always too little (for the greedy one ). So there is never “enough ”and “nothing is enough ”for the greedy person; this means there is no “enough ”.But the problem is that it may also mean that if greedy person has “nothing”. It is “enough” (because “nothing is enough”), in which case the person is not greedy and is, in fact, satisfied with nothing (since he has “nothing” which is “enough”).● If the rich could hire other people to die for them, the poor couldmake a wonderful living.Everybody die at some time .Rich people may wish to keep on living because they have lots of money to enjoy their life .So if the rich people could pay poor people to die for them ,then the rich people could keep on living for longer and keep on enjoying their life. The poor would make a living (i.e., earn money to live )by dying instead of the rich .Of course ,paying one poor person to die instead of therich person who is dying would not be enough because death is always waiting (for everybody, rich or poor),so the rich would have to keep on paying more and more poor people to die for them -----otherwise they can only postpone death for a short time .So now ,many poor people die(paid for by the rich )but the others who are still living get rich (keeping the money which their dead poor relatives received from the rich ). But these new rich people (who were poor before) will die ----unless they pay poor people to die for them. If they do so, the poor relatives of those poor ones who die for the new rich will themselves eventually become rich and will need to pay other poor people to die for them if they wish to keep on living.Unit 5Understanding the text1.d)2.● Exercise● Diet● Self-discipline● Sleep3. a 8b 2c 7d 4e 9Developing your skillPart Ait(pronoun)this(pronoun)they(pronoun)such pensionable oldies(wordsubjection)Part B2. couple (ws: a man and a woman)3.

Therefore, vaccinations must have been developed in the 10th century.●False teeth were developed by unknown Etruscans(ancient Italians)This is obviously one of the two developments and they probably did this in 700 B.C. because the Etruscans were an ancient civilization.●Vaccinations were developed by a Chinese.The Chinese developed vaccinations in the 10th century and therefore the developer is one of the three unknowns.With your partner discuss:● ----Aspirin might be the most widely used because it is available inthe supermarket; it is inexpensive and is used in many common less serious medical conditions.-----Glasses are also very widely used .however, not all of population suffers from visual problems. Vaccinations are also widely used but require a specialist to administer them. What’s more, many vaccines only need administering once in a lifetime.-----The EEC would also be widely used in western countries where technology is readily available and heart disease more prevalent but it would be mainly used with older parties.-----False limbs might be the least frequently used as their application is very specific to amputees and those with congenital deformities .These days doctors try to avoid amputation if possible and birth defects are less frequent aswell .However, they are very important in those countries where there are wars , especially where there are landmines .● Perhaps vaccinations because they prevent simple disease frombecoming fatal epidemic. We tend to take them for granted.● Before the age of the printing press, there were fewer historicalrecords and literacy was not as common. Much information about ancientcivilizations still remains a mystery.●“necessity is the mother of invention.”The developers must have beenin critical need of the medical breakthroughs.

According to the first three paragraphs: A major purpose of advertising is to inform us of new products or good bargains / help producers to sell their products. It is possible that advertising is becoming less effective because we are exposed to too much advertising now and so much of it is misleading, so many people now ignore it. 2. According to the advertisement for Bantu Island: The more adventurous members of the family can visit some of the attractions of the island, including a trip to an ancient cavern/ study the fascinating sea creatures of' that area. The less adventurous members can use the hotel swimming pool/paddling pool or play on the mini-golf course or visit tile less adventurous places of interest ( in an airconditioned vehicle) such as a local lake. Ghosts are often seen around Lake Tall. Wood has been used to make the accommodation "units"The holiday is cheap because the resort is new and the owners claim to be more interested in making the guests happy than making money. 3. According to the newspaper report onBantu Island: Bantu Island is really only a small, bare, exposed rock in the middle of the ocean. Swimming around the island would be very dangerous because of the many sharks. The swimming pool isn't very much in use because there is no water in it. The author doesn't believe the stories about Lake Tall because it is too small and too shallow for the stories to be true. The author says the only reason your money "goes further" is that Bantu Island is a long way away go the money will be travelling further. The expression is not being used in its usual meaninq of money lasting lounger as things are so cheap. 4. The advice the author gives in the last two paragraphs is to be very careful when reading advertisements and always try to check the information from an independent source before you buy whatever is being advertised.Part B: Comparing the texts The Brochure 1 2 3 4 5 6 resort a shallow bay/ island paradise fascinating sea creatures deluxe air-conditioned transport individual, handcrafted units ancient and mysterious lake The Newspaper Article building site beachless bay/ hare rock hungry sharks open-backed jeep wooden huts dirty pondPart C:Interpreting the text1. Explain why the writer believes these two texts provide a "perfect example" of what he is trying to say. The writer is trying to say that advertising is often very misleading and, in some cases, "legalized lying". The advertising brochure for Bantu Island is obviously verymisleading—and, although nothing it says is actually a lie, it could be argued that it does not represent the truth. 2. Why were the visitors to Bantu Island made to pay for the "tours" beforethey got to the resort? Because once they got to the island and saw what it was like, they would not waist to go on any tours. 3. Did the first article give any information that was not true, as opposed to simply misleading? No, it was very carefully worded so that it would be difficult to prove it told any lies —simply did not tell the whole truth or ,misled the reader in different ways. For example, the resort does have a swimming pool (and even a paddling pool) -- it does not actually say that they don't have any water; it does say that sea creatures abound, it does not say they are sharks, etc. 4. Explain fully what the writer means by the last sentence of the article. We should look carefully at things that seem attractive (and cheap). There is often a problem that is not obvious. This might also apply to other things, such as a motor vehicle, a new apartment, "special offers" on CDs, books, etc.Developing your skillsGetting the writer's purpose Which of the following do you think could be used to describe the tone of the newspaper article? humourous, aggressive, sarcastic Look at the two texts again and make notes in the table below of other examples of each category. Brochure A Layout Once in a Lifeti, me Newspaper Holiday A "Never- To-Be-Repeated" Holiday(This .means something very special -- so (This .means it only happens once special it cannot because it was so bad you would neverever be repeated. )do it again. ) A "Holiday" for NobodyA Holiday .for All the Family sea creatures brand-new cooled Choice of Information rare It omits any details of the size, etc. of the attractions (e.g. Lake Tall). No mention of having to wash in a small stream ( i. e. no plumbing or washing facilities in thehotel). ... you won't have a penny more to pay! -- A "Holiday" .for Nobody -- the inverted commas indicate that the writer .feels sharks half-built blasted They don't exist.The exclamation mark is supposed to showthe reader what a wonderful deal she / he is the word "Holiday" is not the correct getting with the holiday. word. The "Beauties of Bantu Island" --again the inverted commas suggest that Punctuation "Beauties" does not describe the reality of the Island. "Air-conditioned", "back-to-nature ", "resort", "lake", etc. all these show that the writer does not .feel the words are being used with their usual meaning and connotations. The two articles that follow are from the advertising manager of the restaurant and from a dissatisfied customer. Complete them by filling in the blanks with words or expressions that make the writers' attitudes clear.Come and Eat at the Luxurious and Relaxing "French Kitchen" Enjoy the wonderful selection of tempting dishes from our extensive menu. The magnificent view over the ocean will make it an evening to remember / cherish. Our highly-trained / professional / friendly and experienced / knowledgeable / polite staff will be delighted/pleased / thrilled to look after your every need and the reasonable / inexpensive prices will pleasantly surprise you. Don't delay / wait. Book now! You won't be disappointed / sorry. Anybody who is thinking of going to the new" restaurant" called the "French Kitchen", don't think again. I was tempted by the advertisement in this newspaper last week. Unfortunately/Regrettably, I can honestly/truthfully/realty say that I was very displeased by my decision. To enjoy the "magnificent view" of the ocean, you would need to lean at least a metre out of the window and peer round the building next door.I've seen a better/more impressive/wider/more tempting selection of dishes in my local fast food restaurant and much more polite/friendlier staff in an army training camp. As for the "reasonable/inexpensive" prices! My bank manager will think that I bought the restaurant when he sees my account. It's true that they were a "surprise", but definitely not "pleasant"Don't go.

创意阅读第三册翻译及答案

UNIT ONE 好的语言学习者要成为一名好的语言学习者需要多方面的因素。

这里说的“好的”并非指品行端正或彬彬有礼。

而是指“效率高”和“有效果”。

长期以来．语言学习方面自勺专家都认为教授语言的教师可以通过观察和分析好的语言学习者如何学习而得到许多收获。

教师们则认为如果他们能够将使一位好的语言学习者学习效率高的行为表现归纳出来，那么他们就能够将其告知那些不太成功的语言学习者?从而改进他们的学习。

那么。

好的语言学习者和一般的或者比较差的语言学习者在行为表现上有什么不同呢?顺便说一下。

你也许会觉得我们将要进行的讨论不仅可以用来区分好的和差的语言学习者。

而且也可以用来区分其他任何专业或技能的好学生与差学生。

首先，最值得注意的一个重要表现是好的语言学习者都具有创新精神，他们爱拿语言做实验。

他们的态度似乎是“我要试一试，看这种方法是否奏效，如果不行——也没关系——我总是可以重新试一试的”。

好的语言学习者试着把他们在课堂上学到的语言“碎片”(结构和一些词汇)融合在一起。

好的语言学习者对他们所学的语言和他们自己都显示出一种开放而且宽容的态度。

这样的学习者也乐于冒险。

如果要求他们在同学们面前讲新学的语言，他们会尽最大的努力去控制紧张情绪。

如果老师用了生词和新句型。

他们就会试着将以前所学的语言和这些新的内容联系起来。

换句话说，好的语言学习者能够在不太确定的条件下学习。

另一点和好的语言学习者的创造性和冒险精神息息相关的是他们能够意识到哪种具体的学习方法和技巧对自己行之有效。

例如，一些学习者喜欢用押韵和词语联想等技巧来记住所学内容，而另一些人则使用词汇笔记或写日记的办法．这些并不是老师要求他们做的，而是他们自己发现这些是行之有效的学习方法。

许多学习者讨厌犯错误。

他们觉得难堪，而且经常认为他们永远也学不会正确地使用这门语言。

好的语言学习者则不同。

他们不会因为犯错误而沮丧，相反地，他们会利用错误。

在学语言，甚至任何技术的过程中，犯错是很自然的，好的学习者将犯错视为学习过程中一个建设性的部分。

大学英语创意阅读Unit1Unit10翻译Unit1终身难忘的假期旅游不管我们身在何处，无论我们在做什么，我们身边都包绕着广告。

有些广告是有用的--------能告诉我们当前新产品的信息，哪儿物美价廉。

制造商利用广告来推销产品，不然生意将会做不成。

其实，曾经有人说过：“商人们赚到大笔大笔的钞票得益于广告的功劳。

”然而，现在的广告是否太泛滥了？可以说广告的效应已经事与愿违，因为大量的广告是误导人的。

我们大多对广告视而不见。

或许大作家H.G.Wells更确切地道出了其中的真谛：“广告是合法化了的谎言。

”请让我举一个我认为是绝好的亲身经历的例子，我当时想找一个好的地方带我的家人去度假。

我查找旅游指南，并自认为找到了一个十全十美的假日。

广告打的招牌是“终生难忘之旅”。

天堂岛屿班图岛南端的旅游胜地，风景宜人，赏心悦目，颇具异国情调。

游区占地250英亩，为浅浅的海湾怀抱，海风习习，凉爽宜人。

沿岸浅水处，海洋生物云集，是研究迷人的海洋生物的理想之地。

家庭假日对不想太冒险的人或者是小孩，我们提供极大的游泳池，里面有水上滑梯、跳板跳水、幼儿嬉水池、微型高尔夫球场和许多别的自然景点。

美丽班图岛如你想更多地领略天堂岛的美景，旅馆将为你安排一切，包括用带空调的豪华交通工具带你去你想去的任何地方。

你或许想游览下列景点。

旅游一线：古老神秘的塔利湖。

开车从旅游胜地出发，很快就到达这充满浪漫色彩，具有远古宗教气息的塔利湖。

在这儿演绎出了无数的人类祭祀场面，无数对恋人投湖殉情。

人们还常常看见他们的幽灵在湖边徘徊。

旅游二线：岛屿北部的邦威自然保护区。

在这儿能看到岛上野生动植物的奇观异景：奇特植物，珍稀动物。

旅游三线：西海岸奇异的水下洞穴。

从旅游胜地出发，坐上本地人的小船，沿岸而上可到这古老的洞穴。

据说这里是位大魔法师的出生地和埋身之处。

宾至如归在一流的宾馆你自然能享受一流的居住条件。

你将住在采用本地木料、手工建造的单人套间内。

这些单人套间会为你营造“回归自然”的真切氛围。

2016届《创新设计》高考英语大一轮复习活页练：必修一 Unit 1

必修一Unit 1FriendshipⅠ.阅读理解I've often wondered if I might do better as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist.It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that.The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland.I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks，smoky volcanoes，and lakes with floating icebergs.The moment after we arrived，the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible.It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldn't leave the tiny hut.To stay warm，we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut.We tried to call for help but the radio did not work.Day after day，we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short.We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside.Even when the weather finally broke，nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup.By the time the rescue team came to pull us out，we had all given up hope.From then on，the world looks different to me，as does my life.It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.Almost everyone has a story to tell，and interestingly，most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time.In fact，it appears that the most constructive life－changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources，increase confidence，and solve problems in new ways.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述的是作者去冰岛旅行时不幸遭遇暴雪而长时间困在大山中的一次难忘经历，这次可怕的经历引发了作者人生观和世界观的改变。

北师大版必修一UNIT 1阅读理解（含答案）ALots of kids hate school, a new study found. Usually this kind of feeling doesn't last long. But what happens if you feel this too much? School is a fact of life and getting a good education can help you build the kind of future life you want. So let's talk about school and what to do when you don't like it.If you don't like school, the first step is to find out why. You might not like school because you don't have enough friends, or maybe you don't get along with your teachers. Sometimes it's a big problem with your classes and schoolwork. You may be getting farther and farther behind, and it may seem like you'll never catch up.When you know why you don't like school, you can start taking steps to make things better. It's a good idea to talk to someone about your problems with school. Your mum, dad, teacher or school counsellor(顾问)will be able to help you. Another good idea is to write down your feelings about school in a notebook. It's a great way to let out emotions(情绪).Remember you don't have to share what you've written with others.1. Lots of kids _____, according to the writer.A. like school very muchB. are good at reading and writingC. don't like doing homeworkD. have the thought of hating school2.

I decided to recycle the paper into new paper. Here I give you an idea of what I was doing with it.At that time, I was studying in a middle school, and was living with my uncle and aunt. My aunt was very kind and didn't mind my using her precious blender(搅拌机)to recycle used paper. So I cut up the paper into small pieces, put them all in the blender, and turned it on, hoping they would become a kind of paper pulp(纸浆).What was the result? Nothing! I seemed to have forgotten the important step of adding some water into the mixture. The blades(刀片)turned round quickly, but the paper seemed quite calm. So I added some water into the blender, and I succeeded! Thegreen ink and red ink mixed wonderfully with the water. I had a pulpy mixture. I was excited! I emptied the pulp out into a tray(托盘),and tried my best to make it flat.It took a few days to dry up, and when it did, I was pleased to find that the part of the pulp that was touching the tray turned out to be perfectly flat. I excitedly removed it from the tray, and it became paper. I wrote down some sayings on the paper and put it up on the wall. Every time passed by the wall, I was proud of my achievement.The paper was my own green paper! Next step I will find a good site to give directions on how to recycle paper at home to make a fun weekend project!5.The author used the blender in order to _____.A. get a kind of paper pulpB. cut up paper and cardboardC. practise running the machineD. find out if it can work d6.Why didn't the writer get the result he had expected?A.

If we have unhealthy lifestyles, we may not be able to enjoy the goodness that life offers to us. So how we live has a direct Remain activeThis is the most important aspect of a healthy lifestyle. Remain physically active. Walk, run, play, swim, climb and jump, which keep you physically fit. Avoid using vehicles as much as you can. If your job requires long hours of sitting, take frequent breaks, get up often and stretch. Clean house, do gardening, go cycling and so on. There are various simple active ways to lead a healthy lifestyle. Do not let laziness impair your body and mind.Keep cleanKeep your surroundings clean. Neat and well organised places are beneficial to healthy mind and body. Unclean and untidy places can not only annoy you but also can make you sick. It represents unhealthy mindset. Cleanliness also means getting rid of unnecessary things that we keep storing at our home, office or mind.Eat healthy foodWhat you eat has a direct link to your body and mind. The healthier the food is, the healthier your lifestyle will be. Our physical and psychological constitutions(组成成分) depend on our food intake. If you like eating junk food, you are risking damaging your health. Prefer well cooked food that includes most of the healthy nutrients.Live naturallyThis is probably the easiest way to live a healthy lifestyle. Be among nature as much as you can. Plant trees around your residence. Avoid usage of materials that are harmful to the environment. This includes plastics, chemicals and other artificial equipment.

The importance of living a healthy life.B. The ways of living a healthy life.C. Advise people to take part in activities.D. Keep your surroundings clean and tidy.参考答案：A A C BDSome people say that city living in the 21st century is stressful and offers no advantages, but I don't agree with them completely.With the development of high-tech and the improvement of living qualities, more and more people crowd into the city, which leads to the uncontrollable urbanization(城市化).Because of this, some of the largest cities must be fairly oppressive(压抑的)places to live in if you are short of money or unemployed. However, for those with much income, a city provides colorful environment which enables people to enjoy their modern life. In that case, I believe the advantages of urban living far outweigh its shortcomings.Regarding shopping, as for me, rather than click on the Internet to get what I want, I prefer to windowshop. All kinds of shopping malls and supermarkets located in the city centre really content me. What's more, a large city's service even covers numbers of the surrounding towns and benefits many people.In terms of entertainment, city residents are usually spoiled for choice, fromamusement parks to sport stadiums; whoever you are will find exactly what you need. Maybe go to a concert tonight and visit museums tomorrow. City always contains various activities and is full of energy.City also provides better opportunities with so many choices and challenges. Cities with universities offer high-standard education so that graduates from these places always get ideal jobs with considerable salary. Every day in the business district, you can see a fierce competition among those large companies, while there are exactly places that may give birth to talents.Many people may complain about the traffic jam or pollution in the city, but I think with some useful measures to take, our city will be more habitable rather than stressful.13.What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?A. City living in the 21st century is stressful.B. City provides more conveniences and pleasures.C. City living brings great trouble to the youth.D. City is gradually dying out as a matter of fact14.The advantages of urban living are ____.A. disposable income and colorful environmentB. quantities of population and shopping centersC. great entertainments and better educationD. strong measures and fresh air15.City residents are usually spoiled for choice _____.A. because they no more choices for amusementsB. because they can hardly find what they like to doC. because they are so many kinds of entertainmentsD. because they will spend more money in a way 参考答案：B C C。

At night it is very cool because of the breeze.5. The class has a mixture of nationalities. The students come fromdifferent countries.Understanding the textPart A: comprehending the text1. It is important because it contains a great of evidence about how people in asociety lived their everyday lives.2. The Garbage Project carried out by the University of Arizon. It studies thegarbage in city rubbish dumps to find evidence of the lifestyle of the local population. It started in 1973 in Tucson, but has now expanded to many other cities and has built a huge database of information on most aspects of modern American life.3. The garbage is sorted into a variety of categories (food items, dangerousmaterials, personal items etc.)4. This is because when there is shortage of something, people try to hoardlarge supplies of the item. They may bury too much. This frequently means that the item needs to be thrown away before it can be used---perhaps because of a shortage of storage space or because it starts to perish.5. There are two reasons for this. The first is that people do not want to beseen as wasteful when it comes to food. They think they throw away less food than they actually do. The other reason is that they know they should be eating less junk food and more healthy food, but in fact the evidence from the garbage is that they eat more junk food. They are not deliberately lying;they just have an inaccurate impression of their own eating habits.6. The Garbage Project can give a clear impression of how people live andbehave.Part B: true or false1. F2. F3. T4. F5. F6. TCorrections1. It was started in Arizona, but has now expanded to cover many otherAmerican cities and Mexico City as well.2. There are too many households in Tucson to collect from each and everyone. Therefore, only a sample of households had their rubbish collected.Also, there is no time specified in the text, it simply says“over a period of time”.4.The passage does not specify the quantity of Mexican sugar found --- simply that was found in Tucson when there was a sugar shortage. There is no evidence that it tasted bad.5. The evidence shows that poor people buy smaller packets of food and not the larger economy packets (which more wealthy families bought). They may have wanted to buy the more economical larger packets but could not afford the larger outlay of money.Developing your skillsPart A: identifying purposes of readingSituation 1Your purpose in reading the text would be to gain a general overview of all respects of the project. The project itself would be the focus of your reading and other elements in the text would be skimmed through.Situation 2In this case, you would only focus on the sections of the text which outlined how the project was carried out---i.e. the methodology they used. You would have little interest in the other, more general, sections of the text. Even when the methodology is not directly stated, while reading you would be trying to interpret the methodology used.Situation 3In this case, you would not be directly interested in the project itself, but more in the findings of the project. You may not even want to mention the project in your article.Extending your vocabularyPart A: Antonyms and synonyms1. Rubbish, waste, junk, refuse.2. Discard.3. Junk food.4. Partially.5. Exotic.6. Affluent.Part B: cloze passageshudder; plentiful; hazardous; stale; go off; partially; lumps; refined.UNIT 7Understanding the textPart A: Numbers1. 33% Property prices increased by this amount in the 1990s.2. 1682 The year in which Sir Edward Coke said, “An Englishman’s home ishis castle.”3. 200,000 The number of new homes built each year in Britain.4. 2.4 million Pots of paint sold by a single British company in one year.5. 100,000 Pounds Average price of a British home in 2001.Part B: Comprehending the text1. A castle was a very strong building specially built to keep the people insidesafe and secure. The expression, therefore, means that the home is a place where the owner feels safe from the outside world and where the outside world cannot enter without his permission. He is protected and secure there.This is a very common expression used to describe the attitude of English peoples towards their homes. It may also link with ideas about privacy: many British people like to think of their home as being a private place which others can’t simply just walk into without permission; inside the family they can do as they wish, without being bothered by outsiders.2. One reason is that the house costs so much to buy that it makes goodsense to maintain it and even improve it as possible（both to make it wortheven more if it is sold and to improve the comfort and space if not）. The other reason is that the home is, in a way, a reflection of the owner. How the house looks to other people, tells them something about the person who owns it---therefore the owner wants to make sure it reflects a good image of his or her self. The better the house look, the better the owners feel about their status.3. It is a loan from a bank or other financial company that is used specifically tobuy a house. It is paid back through monthly payments (with interest) over a number of years---often over as many as 25 years.4. Before the industrial revolution, the home was much more than simply ahouse that you happened to be living in at that time. It had a history of family life, of ancestors, of relatives and probably of having the same neighbors for generations. After the industrial revolution, people have to move and the home became more of a place that you were living in at that time and many of the other traditions were lost.5. Trading up means buying a house that is relatively cheap, keeping it for afew years until its value has increased (and also the owner’s assets), and then selling it to buy a more expensive property. This process is repeated several times over, each property being more expensive than the one before.Trading up only works in times of inflation or progressive increases in property values; if prices were stable over many years, trading up would be unlikely to happen much.Developing your skillExtending your vocabulary Part A: Antonyms and synonymsPart B: Cloze passagetrend; spectacularly; compelling; milial; run down; bricks and mortar; outstrips Unit 8Understanding the textPart A: Sequencing1. They drive from London to Cornwall.2. A guide tells them about the Eden Project.3. They all visit the Warm Temperate Biome.4. They enter the Humid Tropics Biome.5. They look at plants outdoors.6.

Although the Eden Project is in Britain, the plants come from all over the world and many of them would not grow naturally in Britain but need specially controlled greenhouses.3. It was the first time that Katie had visited the Eden Project.5. There is no information as to whether or not it is the largest greenhouse in the world.

Creative Reading参考译文UNIT 1如何创作小说早上好，女士们，先生们。

首先，我很感谢今天你们给我这次发言机会……然后，请允许我提醒大家，听完我的演讲后，你们未必就能拥有某些难以捉摸的素质，然后摇身一变成为一名“作家”!很难解释怎样才能成为一名优秀的小说家。

毕竟，要解释一篇小说为什么比其他小说精彩实在很难。

你喜欢的，别人未必喜欢。

假设我们先向某人传授游泳或骑车的理论，然后把他扔进游泳池或丢给他一辆自行车。

想想会发生什么。

他一定会淹死或从车上摔下来!写作也同样如此。

理论固然重要，但持续不断的写作体验无可取代。

“反复试验”是学习的惟一途径。

当然，作者的个性、生活经历和想像力也是极为重要的因素。

这些交待清楚后，我想我也许能带你们去了解写作涉及到的一些原则；就像俗话所说，“指点迷津”。

在最基本的写作层次上，故事的创作——或其他的任何写作——分为三个阶段。

我将它们称为“写作前”、“写作中”和“写作后”。

换句话说，你提笔前需要考虑什么?写作中你关注的焦点何在?你完成故事的初稿后还应做什么?从未写过小说的人大多会觉得中间这个阶段，即“写作中”，最为重要。

我认为这个阶段最耗时，也最艰巨——相信我，女士们，先生们，写作极为幸苦。

提到作家，人们总想到一个人蜷着身子坐在电脑前，手指在键盘上轻快地跳动，一篇篇优美的文字就从指尖流出；而这与实情并不吻合。

有时几天、甚至几个星期过去厂，他们却写不出一个字；而后，几天之内他们就完成了好几章。

在某种程度上，“写作中”这个阶段的从容、速度以及最重要的质量，取决于“写作前”的准备是否充分。

那么“写作前”该做些什么?在创作的这个阶段，首先你必须问自己——当然你必须找到答案——所有会对你的成果(即作品)产生影响的问题。

我提笔创作故事前，会在一张纸上写下所有的“疑问词”，然后仔细思考，找到每个问题的答案。

有哪些“疑问词”呢?我们不妨依次看看这些疑问词。

首先我们从大概是最重要的一个词开始：“为什么?”你为什么要写这个故事?你写这个故事是因为你想和他人分享某种经历吗?——这往往是作家创作第一个故事的动机。

Dear Sir or Madam,
I recently saw your advertisement for a voice-over artist, and I am very interested in it.
I have often wondered what it would be like to have such a job, and I think I would do it very well.
English is my native language but as my mother speaks Putonghua, I am almost bilingual in the two languages. I have also spent a year studying in France, so I can speak French fairly fluently. I have always had the ability to make people laugh when I imitate the voices of famous actors or make various animal noises.I am a good mimic, and I think this would be valuable as a voice-over artist. When I was at school and university, I was regularly asked to speak at functions and during school assemblies. I have acted in various plays, too. I have received training as a language teacher, so I think that my voice is “clear” and strong.
I am very interested in your advertised training package and I am keen to work overseas.
Please find enclosed my up-to-date CV and a letter of reference from my university teachers.
In the hope that my application will receive your fullest attention, I remain
Yours faithfully。
