高英第三版练习册答案

高英第三版练习册答案

1.Which sentence in the first paragraph establishes the link between the driving of a nail and the choice of a word?2.So with language firmly and exactly.2. what does the word “this” in sentence 1,para 2, refer to?Getting the word that is completely right for the writer’s purpose.3.Do you agree with the author that there is a great deal of truth in the seemingly stupid question “How can I know what I think till I see what I say?”The question sounds irrational, but is true. Unless we have found the exact words to verbalize our own thoughts, we can never be very sure of what our thoughts are. Without words, our thoughts can not be defined or stated in a clear and precise manner.4. expain why the word “imprison” in the example given in , though not a malapropism, is still not the right word for the writer’s purpose?“malapropism” means the unintentional misuse ofa word by confusing it with one that resembles it, such as “human” for “humane”, “singularity” for “singleness”. But the misuse of imprison is diffe rent case, it is wrongly chosen because the user has failed to recognise its associations.make comments on the three pairs of examples given in this section. Compare and contrast their differences in meaning.human: of, or relating to man. (human being; human nature; human rights)humane: characterized by kindness, mercy, or compassion. (humane judge,humane officer)Human action = action taken by human;Humane action = merciful action;Human killer = person that kills human;Humane killer = instruments which kill but cause little pain, esp. those for the painless killing of animals.6. what does the word “alive” in the sentence “a student needs to be alive to these differences” mean?Sensitive, alert.7. the writer begins his article with an analogy between the unskilled use of the hammer and the improper choice of words. indentify the places where the analogy is referred to in the rest of the article.“we don’t have to look far afield to find the evidence of carpentry”“it is perhaps easier to be a good craftman with wood and nail than a good craftsman with words.”“a good carpenter is not distinguished by the number of his tools, but by the craftsmanship with which he uses them. So a good writer is not measured by the extent of his vocabulary, but by his skill in finding the “mot juste”, the word that will hit the nail cleanly on the head.”Paraphrasewriter who pay great attention to expressing the exact English will never be satisfied with a word which can not express an idea accurately.the reader can easily understand what kind of feelings and thoughts we want to convey, we need to be careful to choose the words we used in article.the most suitable word is in no sense easy. But there is nothing like the delight and excitement we shall experience when we pick up such a word.we can use language accurately we are in a position to totally understand the subject matter.Tanslation1. 在举出许多事实并列出一些统计数字后,他终于把他的论点说清楚了。

I left the door of the safe unlocked and took the leather bag of coins and walked down the street toward the bank.Ⅺ .Read the following paragraphs and then answer the questions: 1 What is the topic sentence 2 Has the writer succeeded in achieving unity Give your reasons.1. Life on the farm is an eternal battle against nature. There is always the rush to harvest the crops and to get next year' s grain planted before the fall rains start. To get this accomplished the farmer must be out at work by daybreak. Fruits and vegetables have to be gathered before the early frost; hence everyone is bustling around from morning till night. Fall is beautiful when the leaves on the trees change color and then fall off. Winter sends its warming cover over the froze ground. This causes the animals to hunt for something to eat. There is nothing, so the farmer has to feed them. After his day's work is done, the farmer puts on his slippers, reclines on the davenport in front of the fireplace, and spends a peaceful evening reading. Within a few months spring begins with its beautiful flowers and green grass. The cows give more milk so the farmer has more work to do. After the first spring rain, the corn must be cultivated. As summer ap-proaches the farmer begins to worry for fear that the sun will come up and cook the grain before it is fully developed, or maybe a thunderstorm will come up thus causing his hay crop to rot.2. There are three reasons why I like Japanese food. When I was growing up I never ate Japanese food, since we lived in a part of Texaswhere there were no Orentals, but now I really like it. One of the best things about Japanese food is that it consists primarily of meat and vegetables, so that it's not at all fattening. However, most Japanese love rice. One of my Japanese friends has at least two bowls of rice at every meal. Another reason for liking Japanese food is that it's always beautifully served, even at lower-priced restaurants. Every dish is a work of art: the chicken yakitori is presented on a gleaming platter crisscrossed with skewers of meat and vegetables, and the shrimp tempura comes on a lovely little bamboo tray. For the American who wants to serve Japanese food like this, these platters and trays may be purchased at a local import store. My final reason for liking Japanese food is its exotic flavor. There is nothing in American or European cuisine quite like the flavor of sashimi raw fish dipped in soy sauce and horseradish or shabu-shabu, a meat and vegetable dish that you cook right at your own table by swishing the bite-sized pieces in a pan of seasoned boiling water. Also, from the male point of view, Japanese restaurants are attractive for another reason-- the beautiful little doll-like waitresses, who bow and smile shyly as they serve your food. With all this, is there any wonder Japanese food appeals to meⅫ.

What can you infer about the author's political attitude from this essay2. Do you like Orwell' s style Give examples to support yourXIV. Write a short composition describing objectively the suffering and poverty of pre-liberation China or of any city. Try to maintain an objective tone, but your real feelings should be ev- ident to the reader.习题全解Ⅰ . Marrakech: in west central Morocco, at the Northern foot of the high Atlas, 130 miles south of Casablanca, the chief seaport. The city renowned for leather goods, is one of the principal commercial centers of Morocco. It was founded in 1062 and was the capital of Morocco from then until 1147 and again from 1550 to 1660. It was captured by the French in 1912, when its modern growth began. It has extremely hot summers but mild winters. Yearly rainfall is 9 inches and limited to winter months. The city was formerly also called Morocco.Morocco: Located in North Africa, on the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Morocco is the farthest west of all the Arab countries. Rabat is the capital. The estimated population in 1973 was 15,600,000. About 2000 B. C. it was settled by Berber tribes, who have formed the basis of the population ever since. The Arabs invaded Morocco in the 7thcentury, bringing with them Islam. From the end of the 17thcenturyuntil the early 19th century Morocco was almost entirely free from foreign influence. But in 1912, a Franco- Spanish agreement divided Morocco into 4 administrative zones. It gained independence in 1956 and became a constitutional monarchy in 1957. Morocco is a member of the United Nations, the League of Arab States, and the Organization of African Unity. Moroccans are mainly farmers 70%who try to grow their own food. They often use camels, donkeys and mules to pull their plows. In the south a few tribesmen still, wander from place to place in the desert.Ⅱ. 1. Here are five things he describes to show poverty- a the burial of the poor inhabitants ban Arab Navvy, an employee of the municipality, begging for a piece of bread cthe miserable lives of the Jews in the ghettoes~ dcultivation of the poor soil; e the old women carrying fire wood.2. See paragraphs 1 and 2.3. All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies as animals instead of as human be rags.4. Medieval ghettoes were probably like the Jewish quarters in Marrakech--overcrowded, thousands of people living in a narrow street, houses completely windowless, and the whole area dirty and unhygienic.5. If Hitler were here, all the Jews would have been massacred.6. Those who work with their hands are partly invisible. It’s only because of this that the starved countries of Asia and Africa are accepted as tourist resorts. The people are not treated as human beings, and it is on this fact that all colonial empires are in reality founded.7. See paragraph 18.8. The old woman was surprised because someone was taking notice of her and treating her as a human being. She accepted her status as an old woman, that is to say, as a beast of burden.9, Every white man thought. "How much longer can we go on kidding these people How long before they turn their guns in the other direction" They knew they could not go on fooling these black people any longer. Some day they would rise up in revolt and free themselves.Ⅲ. 1. Yes, it is. In this essay Orwell denoun ces the evils of colonialism or imperialism by mercilessly exposing the poverty,misery and degradation of the native people in the colonies.2. He manages to show that he is outraged at the spectacle of misery, first, through the appropriate use of words second, through the clever choice of the scenes he describes; third, through the tone in which he describes these scenes and finally, by contrasting the indignation at the cruel handling of the donkey with the unconcern towards the fate of the human beings.3. Because that shows the cruel treatment the donkeys receive evokes a greater feeling of sympathy in the breasts of the white masters than the miserable fate of the people. This contrast have on the reader an effect that the people are not considered nor treated as human beings.4. Paragraphs 4-7 could as well come after 8-15 as before. Other groups of paragraphs could be rearranged. This indicates that the whole passage is made up of various independent examples or illustrations of the people's poverty and suffering. The central theme--all colonial empires are in reality founded upon thisfact--gives unity and cohesion to the whole essay.5. This essay gives a new insight into imperialism. Yes, he has succeeded in showing that imperialism is an "evil thing".6. Orwell is good at the appropriate use of simple but forceful words and the clever choice of the scenes he describes. His lucid style and fine attention to significant descriptive details efficiently conveyed to the readers the central idea "all colonial empires are in reality founded upon this fact", the fact that the people are not considered or treated as human beings.IV. 1. The buring-ground is nothing more than a huge piece of wasteland full of mounds of earth looking like a deserted and abandoned piece of land on which a building was going to be put up.2. All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies like animals by not treating the people in the colonies as human beings.3. They are born. Then for a few years they work, toil and starve. Finally they die and are buried in graves without a name.4. Sitting with his legs crossed and using a very old-fashioned lathe, a carpenter quickly gives a round shape to the chair-legs he is making.5. Immediately from their dark hole-like cells everywhere a great number of Jews rushed out wildly excited.6.

"There are three reasons why I like Japanese food" is the topic sentence. This paragraph lacks unity because the writer introduces facts and ideas irrelevant to the topic stated in his opening sentence, e. g. "However, most Japanese love rice. One of my Japanese friends has at least two bowls of rice at every meal. " and "Also, from the male point of view, Japanese restaurants are attractive for another reason--the beautiful little doll-like waitresses, who bow and smile shyly as they serve your food.Ⅻ. pulled, feel, goes, went, come, fe11, altered, paralyzed seemed, sagged, slobbered, settled, imagined, fired, collapse, climbed, drooping, did, jolt, knock, falling, tower, reaching, trumpeted, came, shakeⅩⅢ.

Shack Dwellers in Old ShanghaiAt the edge of Old Shanghai, there were some areas neglected by the splendid city: they were desolate, dirty, and lay humbly at the foot of high-rise factory chimney. From the point of view of the city residents, these places were not suit- able for men. There, however, did live crowds of creature called human beings. They dwelled in the shacks they built themselves. A shack was made up of mud and dried hay--the former being the component of walls and the latter being the roof. Usually there was a small door with a thin wooden board and seldom was there any window. One could easily touch the roof with his hand. The shack was small and dim, thus the door was seldom kept closed.When it rained or blew, there was no more difference inside than outside.How did they manage to live Some of them were road builders: they dug hard with a pickaxe, pulled a huge stone roller to flatten the road, or dug gutters underground all the day. Some made a living by wheelbarrow. With a load of nearly 500 kilogrammes, they pushed forward sweating all over. Some dragged their rickshaws. And among those shack dwellers were many industrial workers, male and female. When a child grew to be thirteen, he or she started to work in a factory. In short, the vast majority of the people did toil but got a slight gain.。

Give your reasons.1.Life on the farm is an eternal battle against nature. There isalways the rush to harvest the crops and to get next year' s grainplanted before the fall rains start. To get this accomplished the farmermust be out at work by daybreak. Fruits and vegetables have to begathered before the early frost; hence everyone is bustlingaround from morning till night. Fall is beautiful when the leaves onthe trees change color and then fall off. Winter sends its warmingcover over the froze ground. This causes the animals to hunt forsomething to eat. There is nothing, so the farmer has to feed them.After his day's work is done, the farmer puts on his slippers, reclines on the davenport in front of the fireplace, and spends a peacefulevening reading. Within a few months spring begins with its beautiful flowers and green grass. The cows give more milk so the farmer hasmore work to do. After the first spring rain, the corn must becultivated. As summerap-proaches the farmer begins to worry for fear that the sun will come up and cook the grain before it is fullydeveloped, or maybe a thunderstorm will come up thus causing his haycrop to rot.2. There are three reasons why I like Japanese food. When I wasgrowing up I never ate Japanese food, since we lived in a part of Texas where there were no Orentals, but now I really like it. One of thebest things about Japanese food is that it consists primarily of meat and vegetables, so that it's not at all fattening. However, mostJapanese love rice. One of my Japanese friends has at least two bowls of rice at every meal. Another reason for liking Japanese food is that it's always beautifully served, even at lower-priced restaurants.Every dish is a work of art: the chicken yakitori is presented on agleaming platter crisscrossed with skewers of meat and vegetables,and the shrimp tempura comes on a lovely little bamboo tray. For theAmerican who wants to serve Japanese food like this, these plattersand trays may be purchased at a local import store. My final reasonfor liking Japanese food is its exotic flavor. There is nothing inAmerican or European cuisine quite like the flavor of sashimi (rawfish dipped in soy sauce and horseradish) or shabu-shabu, a meat and vegetable dish that you cook right at your own table by swishing thebite-sized pieces in a pan of seasoned boiling water. Also, from themale point of view, Japanese restaurants are attractive for anotherreason-- the beautiful little doll-like waitresses, who bow and smile shyly as they serve your food. With all this, is there any wonderJapanese food appeals to me?Ⅻ. Choose the right word from the list below for each blank : fell come did firedpulled feel sagged collapsegoes altered slobbered climbedwent paralysed settled droopingjolt seemed imagined knockfalling tower reaching trumpetedshake cameWhen I ________the trigger I did not hear the bang or____________the kick -- one never does when a shot ___________ home--but I heard the devilish roar of glee that _________ up from thecrowd.

Marrakech: in west central Morocco, at the Northern foot of thehigh Atlas, 130 miles south of Casablanca, the chief seaport.The city renowned for leather goods, is one of the principal commercial centersof Morocco. It was founded in 1062 and was the capital of Morocco from then until 1147 and again from 1550 to 1660. It was captured by theFrench in 1912, when its modern growth began. It has extremely hot summers but mild winters. Yearly rainfall is 9 inches and limited towinter months. The city was formerly also called Morocco.Morocco: Located in North Africa, on the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Morocco is the farthest west of all the Arab countries. Rabat is the capital. The estimated population in 1973 was 15,600,000. About 2000 B. C. it was settled by Berber tribes, who have formed the basis of the population ever since. The Arabs invaded Morocco in the7thcentury, bringing with them Islam. From the end of the 17thcentury until the early 19th century Morocco was almost entirely free fromforeign influence. But in 1912, a Franco- Spanish agreement dividedMorocco into 4 administrative zones. It gained independence in 1956and became a constitutional monarchy in 1957. Morocco is a member ofthe United Nations, the League of Arab States, and the Organizationof African Unity. Moroccans are mainly farmers (70%)who try to growtheir own food. They often use camels, donkeys and mules to pull their plows. In the south a few tribesmen still, wander from place to place in the desert.Ⅱ. 1. Here are five things he describes to show poverty - (a) the burial of the poor inhabitants (b)an Arab Navvy, an employee of themunicipality, begging for a piece of bread (c)the miserable lives ofthe Jews in the ghettoes~ (d)cultivation of the poor soil; (e) theold women carrying fire wood.2.See paragraphs 1 and 2.3.All the imperialists build up their empires by treating thepeople in the colonies as animals instead of as human be rags.4.Medieval ghettoes were probably like the Jewish quarters inMarrakech--overcrowded, thousands of people living in a narrowstreet, houses completely windowless, and the whole area dirtyand unhygienic.5.If Hitler were here, all the Jews would have been massacred.6. Those who work with their hands are partly invisible.It ’s only because of this that the starved countries of Asia and Africa areaccepted as tourist resorts. The people are not treated as humanbeings, and it is on this fact that all colonial empires are in reality founded.7.See paragraph 18.8.The old woman was surprised because someone was takingnotice of her and treating her as a human being. She accepted herstatus as an old woman, that is to say, as a beast of burden.9, Every white man thought. "How much longer can we go on kiddingthese people? How long before they turn their guns in the otherdirection?" They knew they could not go on fooling these black people any longer. Someday they would rise up in revolt and free themselves.Ⅲ. 1. Yes, it is. In this essay Orwell denounces the evils ofcolonialism or imperialism by mercilessly exposing the poverty,misery and degradation of the native people in the colonies.2.He managesto show that he is outraged at the spectacle of misery, first,through the appropriate use of words second, through the clever choice of the scenes he describes; third, through the tone in whichhe describes these scenes and finally,by contrasting the indignation at the cruel handling of the donkey with the unconcern towardsthe fate of the human beings.3.Because that shows the cruel treatment the donkeys receiveevokes a greater feeling of sympathy in the breasts of the whitemasters than the miserable fate of the people. This contrast haveon the reader an effect that the people are not considered nortreated as human beings.4.Paragraphs 4-7 could as well come after 8-15 as before.Other groups of paragraphs could be rearranged. This indicates thatthe whole passage is made up of various independent examples or illustrations of the people's poverty and suffering. The centraltheme--all colonial empires are in reality founded upon this fact--gives unity and cohesion to the whole essay.5.This essay gives a new insight into imperialism. Yes, hehas succeeded in showing that imperialism is an "evil thing".6.Orwell is good at the appropriate use of simple but forcefulwords and the clever choice of the scenes he describes. His lucid style and fine attention to significant descriptive details efficientlyconveyed to the readers the central idea "all colonial empires arein reality founded upon this fact", the fact that the people are notconsidered or treated as human beings.IV. 1. The buring-ground is nothing more than a huge piece of wasteland full of mounds of earth looking like a deserted and abandoned piece of land on whicha building was going to be put up.2.All the imperialists build up their empires by treating thepeople in the colonies like animals (by not treating the peoplein the colonies as human beings).3. They are born. Then for a few years they work, toil and starve. Finally they die and are buried in graves without a name.4.Sitting with his legs crossed and using a very old-fashionedlathe, a carpenter quickly gives a round shape to the chair-legshe is making.5. Immediately from their dark hole-like cells everywhere a great number of Jews rushed out wildly excited.6. Every one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a pieceof luxury which they could not possibly afford.7. However, a white-skinned European is always quite noticeable.8.

Unit 1:1.Which sentence in the first paragraph establishes the link between the driving of a nail and the choice of a word?2.So with language firmly and exactly.2. what does the word “this” in sentence 1,para 2, refer to? Getting the word that is completely right for the writer’s purpose.3.Do you agree with the author that there is a great deal of truth in the seemingly stupid question “How can I know what I think till I see what I say?”The question sounds irrational, but is true. Unless we have found the exact words to verbalize our own thoughts, we can never be very sure of what our thoughts are. Without words, our thoughts can not be defined or stated in a clear and precise manner.4. expain why the word “imprison” in the example given in para.9, though not a malapropism, is still not the right word for the writer’s purpose?“malapropism” means the unintentional misuse of a word by confusing it with one that resembles it, such as “human” for“humane”, “singularity” for “singleness”. But the mis use of imprison is different case, it is wrongly chosen because the user has failed to recognise its associations.5.Please make comments on the three pairs of examples given in this section. Compare and contrast their differences in meaning.human: of, or relating to man. (human being; human nature; human rights)humane: characterized by kindness, mercy, or compassion. (humane judge,humane officer)Human action = action taken by human;Humane action = merciful action;Human killer = person that kills human;Humane killer = instruments which kill but cause little pain, esp. those for the painless killing of animals.6. what does the word “alive” in the sentence “a student needs to be alive to these differences” (para.9)mean?Sensitive, alert.7. the writer begins his article with an analogy between the unskilled use of the hammer and the improper choice of words.indentify the places where the analogy is referred to in the rest of the article.“we don’t have to look far afield to find the evid ence of carpentry”(para.5)“it is perhaps easier to be a good craftman with wood and nail than a good craftsman with words.”(para.9)“a good carpenter is not distinguished by the number of his tools, but by the craftsmanship with which he uses them. So a good writer is not measured by the extent of his vocabulary, but by his skill in finding the “mot juste”, the word that will hit the nail cleanly on the head.”(para.11)Paraphrase1.A writer who pay great attention to expressing the exact English will never be satisfied with a word which can not express an idea accurately.2.For the reader can easily understand what kind of feelings and thoughts we want to convey, we need to be careful to choo se the words we used in article.3.Finding the most suitable word is in no sense easy. Butthere is nothing like the delight and excitement we shall experience when we pick up such a word.4.If we can use language accurately we are in a position to totally understand the subject matter.Tanslation1. 在举出许多事实并列出一些统计数字后,他终于把他的论点说清楚了。

In this forum, the stars sang out the attitudes of the youth towards civil rights, war arid peace, the disaffection of their society, and a range of emotions between love and hate. All in all, in this forum, the American youth redefined the beliefs and feelings of their society. The typical representatives of the early rock music were Elvis Presley, singer and poet Bob Dylan, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones and so on. They were the culture heroes whom the young people worshipped. L2 Four Choices for Young PeoplsB.1.很显然他所说的代表了许多同龄人的想法。

Give your reasons.1. Life on the farm is an eternal battle against nature. There is always the rush to harvest the crops and to get next year' s grain planted before the fall rains start. To get this accomplished the farmer must be out at work by daybreak. Fruits and vegetables have to be gathered before the early frost; hence everyone is bustling around from morning till night. Fall is beautiful when the leaves on the trees change color and then fall off. Winter sends its warming cover over the froze ground. This causes the animals to hunt for something to eat. There is nothing, so the farmer has to feed them. After his day's work is done, the farmer puts on his slippers, reclines on the davenport in front of the fireplace, and spends a peaceful evening reading. Within a few months spring begins with its beautiful flowers and green grass. The cows give more milk so the farmer has more work to do. After the first spring rain, the corn must be cultivated. As summer ap-proaches the farmer begins to worry for fear that the sun will come up and cook the grain before it is fully developed, or maybe a thunderstorm will come up thus causing his hay crop to rot.2. There are three reasons why I like Japanese food. When I was growing up I never ate Japanese food, since we lived in a part of Texas where there were no Orentals, but now I really like it. One of the best things about Japanese food is that it consists primarily of meat and vegetables, so that it's not at all fattening. However, most Japanese love rice. One of my Japanese friends has at least two bowls of rice at every meal. Another reason for liking Japanese food is that it's always beautifully served, even at lower-priced restaurants. Every dish is a work of art: the chicken yakitori is presented on a gleaming platter crisscrossed with skewers of meat and vegetables, and the shrimp tempura comes on a lovely little bamboo tray. For the American who wants to serve Japanese food like this, these platters and trays may be purchased at a local import store. My final reason for liking Japanese food is its exotic flavor. There is nothing in American or European cuisine quite like the flavor of sashimi (raw fish dipped in soy sauce and horseradish) or shabu-shabu, a meat and vegetable dish that you cook right at your own table by swishing the bite-sized pieces in a pan of seasoned boiling water. Also, from the male point of view, Japanese restaurants are attractive for another reason-- the beautiful little doll-like waitresses, who bow and smile shyly as they serve your food. With all this, is there any wonder Japanese food appeals to me?Ⅻ. Choose the right word from the list below for each blank:fell come did firedpulled feel sagged collapsegoes altered slobbered climbedwent paralysed settled droopingjolt seemed imagined knockfalling tower reaching trumpetedshake cameWhen I ________the trigger I did not hear the bang or____________the kick -- one never does when a shot ___________ home -- but I heard the devilish roar of glee that _________ up from the crowd.

What can you infer about the author's political attitude from this essay?2. Do you like Orwell' s style? Give examples to support your XIV. Write a short composition describing objectively the suffering and poverty of pre-liberation China or of any city. Try to maintain an objective tone, but your real feelings should be ev- ident to the reader.习题全解Ⅰ . Marrakech: in west central Morocco, at the Northern foot of the high Atlas, 130 miles south of Casablanca, the chief seaport. The city renowned for leather goods, is one of the principal commercial centersof Morocco. It was founded in 1062 and was the capital of Morocco from then until 1147 and again from 1550 to 1660. It was captured by the French in 1912, when its modern growth began. It has extremely hot summers but mild winters. Yearly rainfall is 9 inches and limited to winter months. The city was formerly also called Morocco.Morocco: Located in North Africa, on the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Morocco is the farthest west of all the Arab countries. Rabat is the capital. The estimated population in 1973 was 15,600,000. About 2000 B. C. it was settled by Berber tribes, who have formed the basis of the population ever since. The Arabs invaded Morocco in the 7thcentury, bringing with them Islam. From the end of the 17thcentury until the early 19th century Morocco was almost entirely free from foreign influence. But in 1912, a Franco- Spanish agreement divided Morocco into 4 administrative zones. It gained independence in 1956 and became a constitutional monarchy in 1957. Morocco is a member of the United Nations, the League of Arab States, and the Organization of African Unity. Moroccans are mainly farmers (70%)who try to grow their own food. They often use camels, donkeys and mules to pull their plows. In the south a few tribesmen still, wander from place to place in the desert.Ⅱ. 1. Here are five things he describes to show poverty- (a) the burial of the poor inhabitants (b)an Arab Navvy, an employee of the municipality, begging for a piece of bread (c)the miserable lives of the Jews in the ghettoes~ (d)cultivation of the poor soil; (e) the old women carrying fire wood.2. See paragraphs 1 and 2.3. All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies as animals instead of as human be rags.4. Medieval ghettoes were probably like the Jewish quarters in Marrakech--overcrowded, thousands of people living in a narrow street, houses completely windowless, and the whole area dirty and unhygienic.5. If Hitler were here, all the Jews would have been massacred.6. Those who work with their hands are partly invisible. It’s only because of this that the starved countries of Asia and Africa are accepted as tourist resorts. The people are not treated as human beings, and it is on this fact that all colonial empires are in reality founded.7. See paragraph 18.8. The old woman was surprised because someone was taking notice of her and treating her as a human being. She accepted her status as an old woman, that is to say, as a beast of burden.9, Every white man thought. "How much longer can we go on kidding these people? How long before they turn their guns in the otherdirection?" They knew they could not go on fooling these black people any longer. Some day they would rise up in revolt and free themselves. Ⅲ. 1. Yes, it is. In this essay Orwell denounces the evils of colonialism or imperialism by mercilessly exposing the poverty, misery and degradation of the native people in the colonies.2. He manages to show that he is outraged at the spectacle of misery, first, through the appropriate use of words second, through the clever choice of the scenes he describes; third, through the tone in which he describes these scenes and finally, by contrasting the indignation at the cruel handling of the donkey with the unconcern towards the fate of the human beings.3. Because that shows the cruel treatment the donkeys receive evokes a greater feeling of sympathy in the breasts of the white masters than the miserable fate of the people. This contrast have on the reader an effect that the people are not considered nor treated as human beings.4. Paragraphs 4-7 could as well come after 8-15 as before. Other groups of paragraphs could be rearranged. This indicates that the whole passage is made up of various independent examples or illustrations of the people's poverty and suffering. The central theme--all colonial empires are in reality founded upon thisfact--gives unity and cohesion to the whole essay.5. This essay gives a new insight into imperialism. Yes, he has succeeded in showing that imperialism is an "evil thing".6. Orwell is good at the appropriate use of simple but forceful words and the clever choice of the scenes he describes. His lucid style and fine attention to significant descriptive details efficiently conveyed to the readers the central idea "all colonial empires are in reality founded upon this fact", the fact that the people are not considered or treated as human beings.IV. 1. The buring-ground is nothing more than a huge piece of wasteland full of mounds of earth looking like a deserted and abandoned piece of land on which a building was going to be put up.2. All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies like animals (by not treating the people in the colonies as human beings).3. They are born. Then for a few years they work, toil and starve. Finally they die and are buried in graves without a name.4. Sitting with his legs crossed and using a very old-fashioned lathe, a carpenter quickly gives a round shape to the chair-legs he is making.5. Immediately from their dark hole-like cells everywhere a great number of Jews rushed out wildly excited.6. Every one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a pieceof luxury which they could not possibly afford.7. However, a white-skinned European is always quite noticeable.8. If you take a look at the natural scenery in a tropical region, you see everything but the human beings.9. No one would think of organizing cheap trips for the tourists to visit the poor slum areas (for these trips 42V.Ⅵ.Ⅶ. would not be interesting).10.life is very hard for ninety percent of the people.With hard backbreaking toil they can produce a little food on the poor soil. 11.She took it for granted that as an old woman she was the lowest in the 。

Translate the following into Chinese:1) The staffs got right to business and conferred all day. Victor Henry worked with the planners, on the level below the chiefs of staff and their deputies where Burne-Wilke operated, and of course far below the summit of the President, the Prime Minister, and their advisers. Familiar problems came up at once: excessive and contradictory requests from the British services, unreal plans, unfilled contracts, jumbled priorities, fouled communications. One cardinal point the planners hammered out fast. Building new ships to replace U-boat sinkings came first. No war materiel could be used against Hitler until it had crossed the ocean. This plain truth, so simple once agreed on, ran a red line across every request, every program, every projection. Steel, aluminum, rubber, valves, motors, machine tools, copper wire, all the thousand things of war, would go first to ships. This simple yardstick rapidly disclosed the poverty of the "arsenal of democracy”, and dictated – as a matter of frightening urgency -- a gigantic job of building new steel mills, and plants to turn the steel into combat machines and tools.2) Clement Attlee's broadcast the next day packed the wardroom. Every officer not on watch, and all staff officers and war planners, gathered in the wardroom around one singularly ancient, crack-voiced radio. The battleship, plowing through a wild storm, rolled and pitched with slow long groans. For the American guest, it was a bad half hour. He saw perplexed looks, lengthening faces, and headshakes, as Attlee read off the "Atlantic Charter". The high flown language bespoke not a shred of increased American commitment. Abuse of Nazi tyranny, praise of "four-freedoms", dedication to a future of world peace and brotherhood, yes; more combat help for the British, flat zero. Some sentences about free trade and independence for all people meant the end of the British Empire, if they meant anything.IV. Group together all the navy terms that appear in the text.V. Give corresponding landsmen's terms for the following sea terms:deck starboardbulkhead galleystem (of a vessel) wardroomstern (of a vessel) bunkport (as in "port 45")VI.

(symphony orchestra)4) Admiral King beckoned to Pug. (called)5) In an odd way the two leaders diminished each other.
