Unit 1误会佚名他头发蓬乱,衣着肮脏,口袋里只有35美分。
在马里兰州的巴尔的摩,他登上一辆公共汽车并径直走向了洗手间。
他想如果他躲在洗手间里,便可以不付钱就乘车去纽约。
但是坐在公共汽车后面的一位乘客看见了他。
她拍了拍她前面那位乘客的肩膀说:“洗手间里有个流浪汉。
告诉公共汽车司机。
”那位乘客轻轻地拍了一下坐在他前面的人,说道:“告诉公共汽车司机,洗手间里有个流浪汉。
这口信通过一个又一个的乘客传到了公共汽车的前边。
但在这一过程的某个环节,口信变了。
当它传到公共汽车司机那儿时,已经不是“洗手间里有个流浪汉”,而是“洗手间里有颗炸弹”。
司机马上在公路边停下车来并用无线电通知了警察。
当警察到达时,他们让乘客下车并且远离汽车。
然后他们关闭了那条公路。
那很快就造成了15英里长的交通堵塞。
警察在警犬的帮助下,在公共汽车上搜查了两个小时。
当然,他们没有发现什么炸弹。
两个发音相似的英语单词给一个想从洛杉矶飞往加利福尼亚州奥克兰的人也造成了麻烦。
他的问题始于洛杉矶机场。
他以为听到广播中宣布了他的航班,所以他走向登机门,出示了机票并登上了飞机。
起飞20分钟后,这人开始担心起来。
奥克兰在洛杉矶的北边,但是飞机似乎正在向西飞,而当他向窗外望去时,他所能看到的全是大海。
“这架飞机是去奥克兰吗?”他问航班服务员。
航班服务员倒抽了一口冷气,“不,”她说。
“我们去奥克兰——新西兰的奥克兰。
”因为有这么多英文单词发音相似,讲英语者之间的误会并不罕见。
并非所有的误会都会导致公路关闭或乘客飞错大陆。
大多数误会远没有这么严重。
每天讲英语的人会相互问这样的问题:“你是说七十还是十七?”“你是说你能来还是不能来?”发音相似的单词对把英语作为第二语言的人来说,特别容易让人混淆。
一天早晨,一位生活在美国的韩国妇女到上班地点时,她的老板问她:“你拿到盘子了吗?” “没有……”她回答说,心里却在纳闷,不知道他到底是什么意思。
她在办公室工作。
老板为什么问她盘子的事呢?一整天她都对老板的怪问题感到纳闷,但又不好意思开口问他。

Unit IⅣ. Class PresentationListening & SpeakingThe Language for Asking For and Giving Clarification1. Directions: You are going to listen to an instructor talking about asking for andgiving clarification. Listen carefully and fill in the blanks with themissing words.Instructor: In our daily conversations, we can not help asking for clarification (澄清,说明) when we are not clear about what has been said, or have becomepuzzled about a particular point mentioned earlier. A conversation is aform of two-way interaction. During interaction, misunderstanding canlead to a breakdown in communication. To avoid misunderstanding oreven confusion, we tend to have an impulse (冲动) to ask forclarification.This is especially true when a Chinese learner of English talks witha native speaker. This skill can help him or her avoid embarrassmentcaused by misunderstanding, and keep the conversation going on.You can develop the skill by reading and familiarizing yourselves with the language for asking for and giving clarification:—I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand what you mean by market economy.—I’m sorry, could you (possibly) explain what you mean by globalization?—I don’t understand what you mean by black lie.—What (exactly) do you mean by sick humor?And the language for giving clarification:—(Well,) what I’m trying to say is (that) + SENTENCE.—(Well,) the point I’m trying to make is (that) + SENTENCE.—(Well,) I think what I mean is (that) + SENTENCE.—What I mean is (that) + SENTENCE.—What I’m saying is (that) + SENTENCE.—All I’m trying to say is (that) + SENTENCE.2. Now come up with a particular subject on which you voice your opinion or attitude, and expect others to ask for clarification about something that might be unclear to them. Try to use the language you have just learned in Exercise 1. Asking For and Giving Clarification1) Directions: Before you listen to the first conversation, read the following wordsand expressions which may be new to you.available 有空的innocent 无害的fib 小谎Listen to the following conversation twice and fill in the blanks with the missing words.Wang Ying: Are you going to the party tonight, Tom?

What’s that?Tom Chang: I said: “I will tell them a little white lie.”Wang Ying: I don’t understand what you mean by white lie.Tom Chang: Oh, it is an innocent social fib or excuse.Wang Ying: Oh, I’ve got it now!Tom Chang: Sometimes we have to do it in our daily lives.Wang Ying: So what’s your little white lie?Tom Chang: Well, what would you say?Now listen to the conversation and answer the following questions1. Who won’t be able to attend the party tonight?Tom Chang.2. Is Wang Ying going to the party?It depends.3. What will Tom Chang tell them?He’ll tell them a little white lie.4.

Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again.”To this the gentleman replied, “Oh, I haven’t told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to conversations.

After that, act it out in class.Doctor: What brought you here?Gentleman: What did you say? Would you speak louder please?Doctor: What is bothering you today?

That’s why I’m here.Doctor: I suggest you wear a hearing aid.Gentleman: What do you mean by hearing aid?

Your family must be pleased that you can hear again.Gentleman: Oh, I haven’t told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations.Doctor: Why?Gentleman: You know what?

21世纪大学实用英语综合教程 第二册 Unit 1

教案1st period Text A (Global Reading)1 Background InformationEnglish LanguageThe English language is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is used as either a primary or secondary language in many countries.During the 1500s, fewer than 2 million people spoke English. All of them lived in what is now Great Britain. Through the centuries, as the result of various historical events, English spread throughout the world. Today, about 400 million people speak English as their native language. Most of them live in Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States.Another 100 million people living chiefly in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and in many African countries speak English in addition to their own language. An additional 200 million people probably know at least some English. (From the 1998 World Book Multimedia Encyclopedia)Characteristics of EnglishV ocabulary. English has a larger vocabulary than any other language. There are more than 600,000 words in the largest dictionaries of the English language.Some English words have been passed on from generation to generation as far back as scholars can trace. These words, such as woman, man, sun, hand, love, go, and eat, express basic ideas and feelings. Later, many words were borrowed from other languages, including Arabic, French, German, Greek, Italian, Latin, Russian, and Spanish. For example, algebra is from Arabic, fashion from French, piano from Italian, and canyon from Spanish.A number of words, such as doghouse and splashdown, were formed by combining other words. New words were also created by blending words. For example, motor and hotel were blended into motel. Words can be shortened to form new words, as was done with history to form story. Words called acronyms are formed by using the first letter or letters of several words. The word radar is an acronym for radio detection and ranging.Pronunciation and spelling in English sometimes seem illogical or inconsistent. Many words are spelled similarly though pronounced differently. Examples include cough, though, and through. Other words, such as blue, crew, to, too, and shoe, have similar pronunciations but are spelled differently. Many of these variations show changes that occurred during the development of English. The spelling of some words remained the same through the centuries, though their pronunciation changed.Grammar is the set of principles used to create sentences. These principles define the elements used to assemble sentences and the relationships between the elements. The elements include parts of speech and inflections.Parts of speech are the word categories of the English language. Scholars do not all agree on how to describe the parts of speech. The traditional description listseight classes: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. The most important relationships of the parts of speech include subject and verb, verb and predicate, and modifier and the word modified.English has fewer inflections than most other European languages. An English noun has only two inflections, the plural and the possessive. Inflections are used to change the tense and number of a verb or the case of a pronoun. Inflections can change adjectives to the comparative or the superlative — for example, big, bigger, biggest.American EnglishAmerican English is a variety of the English language spoken in the United States. Although all Americans do not speak the same way, their speech has enough in common that American English can be recognized as a variety of English distinct from British English, Australian English, and other national varieties. American English has grown up with the country. It began to diverge from British English during its colonial beginnings and acquired regional differences and ethnic flavor during the settlement of the continent.Today it influences other languages and other varieties of English because it is the medium by which the attractions of American culture — its literature, motion pictures, and television programs — are transmitted to the world.Characteristics of American EnglishA. PronunciationIn broad terms, Canadian and American speakers tend to sound like one another. They also tend to sound different from a large group of English speakers who sound more British, such as those in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. For example, most Canadians and Americans pronounce an r sound after the vowel in words like barn, car,and farther, while speakers from the British English group do not. Also, some British English speakers drop h sounds at the beginning of words, so that he and his are pronounced as if they were spelled ee and is. The English spoken in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa sounds more like British English than American English does because these varieties have had less time to diverge from British English. The process of separate development began later in these countries than in North America.In some cases there are differences between American English and British English in the rhythm of words. British speakers seem to leave out a syllable in words like secretary, as if it were spelled secretry, while Americans keep all the syllables. The opposite is true of other words, such as specialty, which Americans pronounce with three syllables (spe-cial-ty) while British speakers pronounce it with five syllables (spe-ci-al-i-ty). V owels and consonants may also have different pronunciations. British speakers pronounce zebra to rhyme with Debra, while American speakers make zebra rhyme with Libra. Canadian and British speakers pronounce the word schedule as if it began with an sh sound, while Americans pronounce it as if it began with an sk sound.B. WordsThe most frequently used words are shared by speakers of different varieties of English. These words include the most common nouns, the most common verbs, and most function words (such as pronouns, articles, and prepositions). The different varieties of English do, however, use different words for many words that are slightly less common —for example, British crisps for American potato chips, Australian billabong for American pond, and Canadian chesterfield for American sofa. It is even more common for the same word to exist with different meanings in different varieties of English.Corn is a general term in Britain, for which Americans use grain, while corn in American English is a specific kind of grain. The word pond in British English usually refers to an artificial body of water, whereas ponds also occur naturally in North America. British English chemist is the same as American English drugstore, and in Canada people go to the druggist. Many of the words most easily recognized as American in origin are associated with aspects of American popular culture, such as gangster or cowboy.C. SpellingAmerican English spelling differs from British English spelling largely because of one man, American lexicographer Noah Webster. In addition to his well-known An American Dictionary of the English Language (1828), Webster published The American Spelling Book (1783, with many subsequent editions), which became one of the most widely used schoolbooks in American history. Webster’s books sought to standardize spelling in the United States by promoting the use of an American language that intentionally differed from British English. The development of a specifically American variety of English mirrored the newcountry’s separate political development. Webster’s most successful changes were spellings with or instead of o ur (honor, labor for the British honour, labour); with er instead of re (center, theater for the British centre, theatre); with an s instead of a c (defense, license for the British defence, licence); with a final ck instead of que (check, mask for the British cheque, masque); and without a final k (traffic, public, now also used in British English, for the older traffick, publick). Later spelling reform created a few other differences, such as program for British programme. Canadian spelling varies between the British and American forms, more British in eastern Canada and more American in western Canada.2. Group DiscussionHave you ever had an experience in which you are misunderstood or have failed to understand others? Misunderstandings can result from the spoken form or written form of the language that you use.2nd period Text A (Detailed Reading)Words and Expressions & Difficult Sentences1) misunderstanding: n. (an example of) wrong understanding 误会,误会e.g. Her poor French often leads to misunderstandings when she visits France. misunderstand: vt. understand wrongly 误会e.g. I’m sorry, I misunderstood you.It seems that you have misunderstood what I said at the meeting.2) get on: board (a bus, a train, etc.)登上〔公共汽车、火车等〕e.g. When I got on the bus, I found all the seats were occupied.They felt worried when they realized that they had got on the wrong train.3) head for: go towards 向…走去;朝…行进e.g. The ship was heading for Britain.He headed for the bus stop.4) …he could ride to New York without paying.介词without 说明为“不、未”,其后跟动词时,须用V-ing形式。

Learn how to use the structure “too...to”2.Learn how to use imperative sentencesTeaching Methods:Discussion, Exercise and PresentingTeaching Periods: 8 PeriodsBackground Information:Personal Time ManagementTime management strategies are often associated with the recommendation to set personal goals. These goals are recorded and may be broken down into a project, an action plan, or a simple task list. For individual tasks or for goals, an importance rating may be established, deadlines may be set, and priorities assigned. This process results in a plan with a task list or a schedule or calendar of activities.A task list (also to-do list or things-to-do) is a list of tasks to be completed, such as chores or steps toward completing a project. Task lists are often prioritized.An early advocate of “ABC” prioritization was Alan Lakein. In his system “A” items were the most important (“A-1” the most important within that group), “B” next most important, “C” least important. A particular method of applying the ABC method assigns “A” to tasks to be done within a day, “B” a week, and “C” a month.Basic Tips on Time Management for StudentsEvery student spends a lot of time studying and almost every one of them would like their studying to be more efficient. Here are some basic tips to manage your time better when studying. Minimize DistractionsEliminate everything that might be a distraction in the area where you are studying. Make sure there’s nothing nearby that might be tempting. If you love surfing the net, turn off the internet while you study. If you are totally into video games, discipline yourself to only play them after you have finished your studying as a reward. Don’t put the video games anywhere near your study area.Watching TV whilst studying is a very bad idea and makes your studying really ineffective. You need to minimize all di stractions and TV is a big one even if it’s just on in the background. Time of Day for StudyStudying at the same time each and every day helps. Most people find it more effective to study during the day rather than at night, because they can concentrate better. But if you are a real night owl, then you may find that your ability to concentrate at night is just fine.Total 100% Focus for at Least 40 Minutes at a TimeOne of the most important things you can do to study effectively is to focus totally on your studying for at least 40 minutes at a time. Studying for 10 minutes here and there just will not cut it. Instead of quick little snippets, make sure you get in at least 40 or 50 minutes of total focus. While you’re doing this, don’t let yourself get distracted with anything else! Just focus intensely for the entire time. When you are finished, then relax, and play a video game or watch TV to reward yourself.You also don’t want to study for too long at a time, because your brain gets fatigued an d after a while it needs a rest. 90 minutes is probably the maximum you should go before taking a 10-minute break, and usually 60 minutes is enough.教学后记:。

A conversation is aform of two-way interaction. During interaction, misunderstanding canlead to a breakdown in communication. To avoid misunderstanding oreven confusion, we tend to have an impulse (冲动) to ask for clarification.This is especially true when a Chinese learner of English talks witha native speaker. This skill can help him or her avoid embarrassmentcaused by misunderstanding, and keep the conversation going on.You can develop the skill by reading and familiarizingyourselves with the language for asking for and giving clarification:—I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand what you mean by market economy.—I’m sorry, could you (possibly) explain what you mean by globalization?—I don’t understand what you mean by black lie.—What (exactly) do you mean by sick humor?And the language for giving clarification:—(Well,) what I’m trying to say is (that) + SENTENCE.—(Well,) the point I’m trying to make is (that) + SEN TENCE.—(Well,) I think what I mean is (that) + SENTENCE.—What I mean is (that) + SENTENCE.—What I’m saying is (that) + SENTENCE.—All I’m trying to say is (that) + SENTENCE.2.

21世纪大学实用英语综合教程(第二册)课文翻译及课后习题答案1-8单元

Unit 1误会佚名他头发蓬乱,衣着肮脏,口袋里只有35美分。
在马里兰州的巴尔的摩,他登上一辆公共汽车并径直走向了洗手间。
他想如果他躲在洗手间里,便可以不付钱就乘车去纽约。
但是坐在公共汽车后面的一位乘客看见了他。
她拍了拍她前面那位乘客的肩膀说:“洗手间里有个流浪汉。
告诉公共汽车司机。
”那位乘客轻轻地拍了一下坐在他前面的人,说道:“告诉公共汽车司机,洗手间里有个流浪汉。
这口信通过一个又一个的乘客传到了公共汽车的前边。
但在这一过程的某个环节,口信变了。
当它传到公共汽车司机那儿时,已经不是“洗手间里有个流浪汉”,而是“洗手间里有颗炸弹”。
司机马上在公路边停下车来并用无线电通知了警察。
当警察到达时,他们让乘客下车并且远离汽车。
然后他们关闭了那条公路。
那很快就造成了15英里长的交通堵塞。
警察在警犬的帮助下,在公共汽车上搜查了两个小时。
当然,他们没有发现什么炸弹。
两个发音相似的英语单词给一个想从洛杉矶飞往加利福尼亚州奥克兰的人也造成了麻烦。
他的问题始于洛杉矶机场。
他以为听到广播中宣布了他的航班,所以他走向登机门,出示了机票并登上了飞机。
起飞20分钟后,这人开始担心起来。
奥克兰在洛杉矶的北边,但是飞机似乎正在向西飞,而当他向窗外望去时,他所能看到的全是大海。
“这架飞机是去奥克兰吗?”他问航班服务员。
航班服务员倒抽了一口冷气,“不,”她说。
“我们去奥克兰——新西兰的奥克兰。
”因为有这么多英文单词发音相似,讲英语者之间的误会并不罕见。
并非所有的误会都会导致公路关闭或乘客飞错大陆。
大多数误会远没有这么严重。
每天讲英语的人会相互问这样的问题:“你是说七十还是十七?”“你是说你能来还是不能来?”发音相似的单词对把英语作为第二语言的人来说,特别容易让人混淆。
一天早晨,一位生活在美国的韩国妇女到上班地点时,她的老板问她:“你拿到盘子了吗?”“没有……”她回答说,心里却在纳闷,不知道他到底是什么意思。
她在办公室工作。
老板为什么问她盘子的事呢?一整天她都对老板的怪问题感到纳闷,但又不好意思开口问他。

Section C (10%) Tapescript:
Yesterday I got up at 6:30 AM as usual. I made breakfast and read the papers. At about 8:30 AM my secretary, Jill, came to my house and I dictated letters till 10:00 AM, when we drove to the office to collect some telephone messages; I made a few calls myself before going to a meeting at 11:00 AM. The meeting lasted till one o’clock, and Jill had collected more letters and phone calls for me to deal with before I had time for a quick lunch around 1:45 PM. I always like to attend the Prime Minister’s question time from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM, and yesterday I myself had put forward a question. After that, I went to the library to write a lecture for the youth group of my community, and gave my notes to Jill to type while I went to listen to a discussion on public education at 5:00 PM. I left this about 6:00 PM to sign the letters I had dictated earlier to Jill. Then I had a drink in the bar before I drove home at about 7:00 PM. (177 words)

教案1st period Text A (Global Reading)1 Background InformationEnglish LanguageThe English language is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is used as either a primary or secondary language in manycountries.During the 1500s, fewer than 2 million people spoke English. All of them lived in what is now Great Britain. Through the centuries, as the result of various historical events, English spread throughout the world. Today, about 400 million people speak English as their native language. Most of them live in Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States.Another 100 million people living chiefly in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and in many African countries speak English in addition to their own language. An additional 200 million people probably know at least some English. (From the 1998 World Book Multimedia Encyclopedia)Characteristics of EnglishVocabulary. English has a larger vocabulary than any other language. There are more than 600,000 words in the largest dictionaries of the English language.Some English words have been passed on from generation to generation as far back as scholars can trace. These words, such as woman, man, sun, hand, love, go, and eat, express basic ideas and feelings. Later, many words were borrowed from other languages, including Arabic, French, German, Greek, Italian, Latin, Russian, and Spanish. For example, algebra is from Arabic, fashion from French,piano from Italian, and canyon from Spanish.A number of words, such as doghouse and splashdown, were formed by combining other words. New words were also created by blending words. For example, motor and hotel were blended into motel. Words can be shortened to form new words, as was done with history to form story. Words called acronyms are formed by using the first letter or letters of several words. The word radar is an acronym for radio detection and ranging.Pronunciation and spelling in English sometimes seem illogical or inconsistent. Many words are spelled similarly though pronounced differently. Examples include cough, though, and through. Other words, such as blue, crew, to, too, and shoe, have similar pronunciations but are spelled differently. Many of these variations show changes that occurred during the development of English. The spelling of some words remained the same through the centuries, though their pronunciation changed.Grammar is the set of principles used to create sentences. These principles define the elements used to assemble sentences and the relationships between the elements. The elements include parts of speech and inflections.Parts of speech are the word categories of the English language. Scholars do not all agree on how to describe the parts of speech. Thetraditional description lists eight classes: nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. The most important relationships of the parts of speech include subject and verb, verb and predicate, and modifier and the word modified. English has fewer inflections than most other European languages. An English noun has only two inflections, the plural and the possessive. Inflections are used to change the tense and number of a verb or the case of a pronoun. Inflections can change adjectives to the comparative or the superlative —for example, big, bigger, biggest.American EnglishAmerican English is a variety of the English language spoken in the United States. Although all Americans do not speak the same way, their speech has enough in common that American English can be recognized as a variety of English distinct from British English, Australian English, and other national varieties. American English has grown up with the country. It began to diverge from British English during its colonial beginnings and acquired regional differences and ethnic flavor during the settlement of the continent.Today it influences other languages and other varieties of English because it is the medium by which the attractions of American culture —its literature, motion pictures, and television programs —aretransmitted to the world.Characteristics of American EnglishA. PronunciationIn broad terms, Canadian and American speakers tend to sound like one another. They also tend to sound different from a large group of English speakers who sound more British, such as those in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. For example, most Canadians and Americans pronounce an r sound after the vowel in words like barn, car,and farther, while speakers from the British English group do not. Also, some British English speakers drop h sounds at the beginning of words, so that he and his are pronounced as if they were spelled ee and is. The English spoken in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa sounds more like British English than American English does because these varieties have had less time to diverge from British English. The process of separate development began later in these countries than in North America.In some cases there are differences between American English and British English in the rhythm of words. British speakers seem to leave out a syllable in words like secretary, as if it were spelled secretry, while Americans keep all the syllables. The opposite is true of other words, such as specialty, which Americans pronounce with three syllables (spe-cial-ty) while British speakers pronounce it with five syllables (spe-ci-al-i-ty). Vowels and consonants may also have differentpronunciations. British speakers pronounce zebra to rhyme with Debra, while American speakers make zebra rhyme with Libra. Canadian and British speakers pronounce the word schedule as if it began with an sh sound, while Americans pronounce it as if it began with an sk sound.B. WordsThe most frequently used words are shared by speakers of different varieties of English. These words include the most common nouns, the most common verbs, and most function words (such as pronouns, articles, and prepositions). The different varieties of English do, however, use different words for many words that are slightly less common —for example, British crisps for American potato chips, Australian billabong for American pond, and Canadian chesterfield for American sofa. It is even more common for the same word to exist with different meanings in different varieties of English.Corn is a general term in Britain, for which Americans use grain, while corn in American English is a specific kind of grain. The word pond in British English usually refers to an artificial body of water, whereas ponds also occur naturally in North America. British English chemist is the same as American English drugstore, and in Canada people go to the druggist. Many of the words most easily recognized as American in origin are associated with aspects of American popular culture, such as gangster or cowboy.C. SpellingAmerican English spelling differs from British English spelling largely because of one man, American lexicographer Noah Webster. In addition to his well-known An American Dictionary of the English Language (1828), Webster published The American Spelling Book (1783, with many subsequent editions), which became one of the most widely used schoolbooks in American history. Webster’s books sought to standardize spelling in the United States by promoting the use of an American language that intentionally differed from British English. The development of a specifically American variety of English mirrored the newcountry’s separate political development. Webster’s most successful changes were spellings with or instead of our (honor, labor for the British honour, labour); with er instead of re (center, theater for the British centre, theatre); with an s instead of a c (defense, license for the British defence, licence); with a final ck instead of que (check, mask for the British cheque, masque); and without a final k (traffic, public, now also used in British English, for the older traffick, publick). Later spelling reform created a few other differences, such as program for British programme. Canadian spelling varies between the British and American forms, more British in eastern Canada and more American in western Canada.2.
