大学英语综合(三) Unit3补充练习及答案
Unit 3Book 3I. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph fromwhich the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Eachparagraph is marked with a letter.A)LOS ANGELES—Fans rushed to see 3-D movies such as Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballsin theaters this year and new 3-D televisions could soon have home viewers feeling as if they're surrounded by a noodle storm on their couches. Next year, major electronics manufacturers Sony Corp. and Panasonic Corp. plan to introduce 3-D-capable high-definition televisions for the mass market. You'll still need to wear special glasses, though.B)Movie studios hope 3-D can help lift the weak home video market the same way it has pushedup box office results. The initial price of such sets is expected to be high—perhaps 20 percent more than normal sets of the same size. But costs should come down in the coming years.Depending on prices, 3-D-ready TVs could be in 28 million to 46 million homes worldwide by 2013, predicts Alfred Poor, an analyst with GigaOM Pro. He estimates that next year, as many as 2.5 million sets worldwide will be sold with 3-D capability. "We're raising a whole generation of kids who expect to see this effect for their movies at home," Poor said. "I think people want 3-D. I just don't think they're going to want to pay a whole lot more for it." To avoid the need for special screens, some manufacturers of TV sets are being away from the 3-D technology common in theaters in favor of what's known as "active avoidance". That uses an infra-red (红外线的) emitter on the TV to tell battery-powered glasses when to adjust the left and right lenses in conjunction with the images on the screen, which gives the perception of three dimensions. The sets themselves will require relatively minor upgrades from today's models, but the glasses will cost more, raising the price of the overall package.C)There's no question 3-D movies are popular. They generated more than $1 billion at boxoffices worldwide this year, and on a per-screen basis, 3-D showings typically bring in more than double the revenue of regular screenings when a movie is offered in both versions. For hits like Disney/Pixar's Up and 20th Century Fox's Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, more than half of ticket revenues came from 3-D screens, despite accounting for far fewer showings, according to the research firm Screen Digest. Those screenings tend to fill up, and moviegoers are willing to pay a few dollars extra per ticket.D)Making these 3-D movies hasn't been cheap, and so far there hasn't been an adequate way togive back those higher costs in the home video market, which brings in far more dollars to studios than the theatrical release. In September, DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. released a two-disc pack of Monsters vs. Aliens with just a 3-D bonus vignette (花絮) accompanying a 2-D version of the movie. It comes with cardboard glasses with dark reddish purple and green lenses that create a 3-D effect. The so-called "anaglyph (立体影片)" technology is out ofdate and can change colors but works with regular TVs.E)"We think for 10 minutes or so, it's a fun experience, but it's not a great experience for anhour-and-a-half or two-hour-long movie," said John Batter, DreamWorks' co-president of production for feature animation (动画片). The studio is considering a re-release of the movie at higher prices using modern 3-D technology, followed by future releases after 3-D TVs become available next year. Batter said 3-D releases "will certainly grow over time and it will become, I think, a significant part of our home video business in a three- to five-year cycle".F)Meanwhile, Universal Studios Home Entertainment released the stop-motion animated movieCoraline in July both in 2-D and 3-D with the cardboard glasses, but director Henry Selick said he was disappointed with the result. "I wish they'd waited to do the home 3-D release until the technology caught up to what it was in the theaters," Selick told a conference last month. "I'm disappointed in how few people got to see it in the best possible way."G)As more living rooms are equipped for movies in 3-D, studios will have stronger motivationto release them for home viewing especially as 3-D movies are expected to spend less time in theaters. With about 30 3-D movies headed for theaters next year and only enough screens to show one major picture at a time, the average theatrical run will shrink to less than two weeks in 2010, down from nearly nine weeks in 2008, according to Charlotte Jones, a senior analyst with Screen Digest.H)That could put more emphasis on making up for filmmaking costs on the home market, shesaid. But the home market is also coming under pressure. US home video revenues in the first half of 2009 fell 3.9 percent from a year ago to $9.4 billion. Tom Adams, president of Adams Media Research, said 3-D videos could be the good news in the industry needs, especially because it will take a lot longer for 3-D TV signals to reach people's homes by cable or broadcast. "Among the early adopting crowd, they're going to go out and buy practically everything that comes out," Adams said. "It could be pretty profitable for studios even if it's fairly small in terms of the number of households."I)Cable networks are experimenting with 3-D, too. Last month, ESPN hosted test screenings ofa USC-Ohio State football game in four US cities, following similar events put on bytechnology provider 3ality Digital LLC.J)Many technology companies are banking on a 3-D-at-home boom. RealD, the leading provider of 3-D systems in theaters, is preparing to expand production of "active shutter (快门)" eyewear. Sony Corp. has plans for a range of new 3-D products, from TVs to PlayStation games. Meanwhile, Sony Pictures Animation's latest 3-D feature, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, was an unexpected box office hit, and it could make its way into homes in 3-D once the technology catches on. With standards being finalized and demand for 3-D content booming, "2010 is definitely the year for us to start the 3-D business," said Hiro Kawano, senior vice president of home products for Sony Electronics Inc.1.3-D technology is expected to stimulate the weak home video market.2.Consumers will be able to watch 3-D movies at home next year.3.Consumers prefer movies of 3-D versions though they are a few dollars more expensive thanordinary versions.4.3-D televisions are more expensive than ordinary sets of the same size.5.Henry Selick, Director of Universal Studios Home Entertainment, was not satisfied with thecompany’s 3-D movie Coraline.6.Monsters vs. Aliens, which was released by DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. in September,is a two-disc packed movie.7.According to Charlotte Jones, the average theatrical run of 3-D movies will shrink to less thantwo weeks in 2010.8.The US home video revenues declined in the first half of 2009 from a year ago.9.RealD, the main provider of 3-D systems in theaters, aims to enlarge the production of “activeshutter” eyewear.10. DreamWorks is considering using modern 3-D technology to re-release the movie Monsters vs.Aliens.Section BPassage 1On September 11, Washington and New York were struck by a series of terrorist attacks. At 8:46 a.m. American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York, sparking a massive explosion and leaving a giant hole in the building’s façade(建筑物的正面). At 9:03 a.m., United Airline Flight 175, smashed into the south one of the World Trade Center twin towers, wiping out many of the supporting column and leaving the building aflame. At 9:40 a.m., American Flight 77 slammed from the west into a segment of the Pentagon (US Defence Department) building where more than 800 people work. It crashes into the five-sided building into its lower floors near a helicopter landing pad. Within minutes, the upper floors collapsed into the 300-meter-wide gap, which extends most of the ways through the office rings to the courtyard. At 9:59 a.m., after remaining erect for 56 minutes, the south tower of the World Trade Center, structurally crippled to a greater degree than its twin, fell down floor by floor in 10 seconds, following an explosion in a huge cloud of smoke and dust. At 10:28 the north tower, having stood for 102 minutes, fell down like a house of cards in eight seconds, sending tons of debris into the surrounding streets. At 11:34 a.m., United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in western Pennsylvania, between New York and Washington.More than 8,000 people were killed and feared dead in these terror attacks. The horizon of New York, a symbol of American superior strength, was forever changed and downscaled. The twin towers of the World Trade Center are now consigned to postcard memories in a shockingly short period of time. Over 400 meters high, the 110-story towers were the tallest in the world when they were completed almost 30 years ago. One side of Pentagon, the US military headquarters, was also seriously damaged.11. How many planes crashed on Sept.11, 2001?A. FourB. ThreeC. Two.D. Five.12. Which building is most seriously damaged?A.The south tower of the World Trade Center.B.The north tower of the World Trade Center.C.The Pentagon.D.The helicopter landing pad.13. Please arrange the following happenings according to time order.a. A plane crashes into the north tower.b.The north tower collapses.c. A plane smashes into the Pentagon building.d.The south tower collapses.A. a-b-c-dB. a-c-b-dC. a-c-d-bD. a-d-c-b14. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.The World Trade Center was built around 1970.B.The towers symbolize the American super power.C.Postcards are now designed in memory of the twin towers.D.The south tower caught fire when smashed by the plane.15. In what tone does the author describe the Sept.11 attacks?A.CondemningB. ObjectiveC. ExaggeratingD. PessimisticPassage 2Tragedy, sudden and terrible, has again struck an American school: fifteen lives were lost and a city and a nation left with scars that cannot be removed. Because guns and explosives were used to cause the mayhem (大灾害), the immediate outcry is for gun control laws.Most likely the shotguns and even the handguns used were legally purchased and registered and probably the guns were the property of the fathers of the boys who used them. Shotguns are the most common guns used in the sports of hunting small game animals and birds.The possibility of passing laws forbidding sportsmen from owning shotguns would be very slight. There would be intense opposition to such laws. On the other hand, laws forbidding handguns have a greater chance of enactment(设定). But then the familiar saying would become fact: “W hen guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”Many crimes in America are committed by people using guns. Most of these people have a record of criminal offenses. By law these criminals are not allowed to purchase or own guns. Do they care? No. They do not obey laws and find other ways to get guns.The problem is a people problem, not just a gun problem. In America, we have become a nation that has largely rejected the traditional rules and ethics of Western society that have helped it become a society of progress and the rule of law.Behind societies ruled by law— maybe in the shadows, but still there—was the feeling that over us all was a higher law that man is ultimately answerable to. Man’s law s were therefore supposed to be an extension of this law.Modern society has moved beyond this concept to a very self-centered concept of “ I am my own law”. There is no more black or white or absolute right or wrong. No higher law determines it: We decide individually. What seems right and feels right for me is therefore “right”. Also, what is “right” in one situation may be “wrong” in another, and what is “wrong” for you may be “right”for me. This concept is called moral relativism. Depending upon circumstances and how we feel about an action, it becomes right or wrong for us.For at least the last generation, public education in America has largely failed to teach right and wrong. Public schools can only appeal to personal feelings and opinions. Since most of society does not teach that there is absolute truth, the young people lack moral convictions.Some other cultural influences of today must also share in responsibility for such murderous rampages (暴怒). Many video and computer games are filled with mass destruction. You are the warrior and must destroy as many enemies as possible. You fire your weapon and your enemy goes up in a puff of smoke or flame. The more you kill, the higher your score.Think of the amount of violence shown in modern films. People with minds already distorted with hatred, as were the two from Littleton, can get plenty of education about the excitement of destroying their enemies. These two, unfortunately, acted out their fantasies.To get back to our original question—gun control or people control, can it be done? —people control will not be accomplished until the heart of America changes. Government cannot accomplish this.16. What does “when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns” mean?A.We can solve the problem by making guns illegal.B.It’s absolutely impossible to make guns illegal.C.Some people will strongly oppose to the law that make guns illegal.D.Some people can get guns whether it is legal or not.17. What is moral relativism according to this passage?A.Deciding right or wrong by oneself.B.The concept of absolute right or wrong.C. A higher law that determines right or wrong.D.An extension of the law.18. What is NOT the reason mentioned for gun crimes in US?A.Public education.B.Violence in movies.C.Some cultural influences.D.Racial discrimination against blacks.19. According to the author, what is the key to solving the gun crime?ernment’s strict gun control.B.Outcry for gun control laws.C.Restoration of traditional rules and social ethics.D. Public awareness of self-defense.20. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Violence in American SchoolsB.Gun Control or People Control— can it be Done?C.Crime Rates Are IncreasingD.The Concept of Moral RelativismII.

Lifetime friendships teach you lifetime lessons and you should learn to accept them.Read and ExploreTask One Discovering the Main Ideas1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) Why do people tend to have a thin understanding of friendship?It is because there is a lack of socially acknowledged criteria for what makes a person a friend.2) What are the three kinds of friendship according to Aristotle?They are friendship based on utility, friendship based on pleasure and friendship based on goodness.3) What does Cicero emphasize in his definition of friendship?He emphasizes the element of virtue in friendship.4) What is meant by ―virtuous friends‖ according to the classical views? Virtuous friends possess moral excellence and share a commitment to the good.2 Text A can be divided into four parts with the paragraph number(s) of each part provided as follows. Write down the main idea of each part.Part Paragraph(s) Main IdeaOne 1 It’s necessary to review some classical views of friendship in order to acquire a better understanding of it.Two 2–5 According to Aristotle, there are three kinds of friendship, which are respectively based on utility, pleasure and goodness. Friendship based on goodness is perfect and totally different from friendship based on utility or pleasure.Three 6 According to Cicero, true friendship is only possible between good men. In such friendships and relationships, those who possess any superiority must regard themselves as equals of those who are less fortunate.Four 7 Virtuous friends are bound by moral excellence, which involves a high level of development and expression of the altruistic emotions of sympathy, concern and care.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the authors intend to say by the italicised parts.1. In one setting, we may describe someone as a friend; in another, the label may seem less appropriate. (Para. 1)Since society lacks socially accepted criteria for what friendship is, a person may be described as a ―friend‖ in one context but may not be suitably called so in another.2. Friendship between the young is thought to be grounded on pleasure, because the lives of the young are regulated by their feelings, and their chief interests are in their own pleasure and the opportunity of the moment. (Para. 4)It is believed that young people tend to regard pleasure as an essential element of friendship and thus base their friendship on pleasure.3. Such friendships are rare because men of this kind are few and they need time and intimacy; for as the saying goes, true friends must go through trials and tribulations together. (Para. 5)It is not easy to establish true friendships because there is only a small number of such good men in the world and it takes time and effort to develop such friendships. That is why true friendships are rare.4. To perceive a friend, therefore, is in a manner to perceive oneself; and to know a friend is in a manner to know oneself. Each can be said to provide a mirror in which the other may see himself. (Para. 7)When two people are true friends, each is like a mirror to the other, who can see what kind of a person he himself has proved to be and whether he has moral excellence or not.5. Friendship of this kind necessarily involves conversations about well-being and of what might be involved in living the good life. (Para.7)We can find all the good qualities in virtuous friends and it is those qualities that make permanent friendship possible.

It takes time to mature.George Washington (1732-1799): the first President of the US. Washington was commander-in-chief of the colonial army during the American Revolutionary War. After the war he was elected President of the United States twice, but refused to remain in the position for a third time.Benjamin Franklin◎Be slow in choosing a friend; slower in changing.—Benjamin FranklinInterpretation:Friends and friendships may have great influence on our lives and may last as long as we live. So we should be careful when choosing a friend and should be even more careful when we decide to end the friendship. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790): a US politician, writer, and scientist. He was involved in writing two historically significant documents, the Declaration of Independence (《独立宣言》) and the Constitution of the United States (《美国宪法》).

Read the following text and see if you can gain some new insights into the true meaning of friendship.What is Friendship?Michele E. Doyle & Mark K. Smith1 When we approach the notion of friendship, our first problem is that there is a lack of firmly agreed and socially acknowledged criteria for what makes a person a friend. In one setting, we may describe someone as a friend; in another, the label may seem less appropriate. Therefore, people tend to have a very thin understanding of what friendship really means. To help us understand what friendship really means, we need to review some classical views of friendship.2 One classical view of friendship is provided by Aristotle, the famous ancient Greek philosopher. Aristotle distinguishes between what he believes to be genuine friendships and two other forms: one based on mutual usefulness, the other on pleasure. So, according to Aristotle, we may find three kinds of friendship:3Friendship based on utility. Utility is an impermanent thing: it changes according to circumstances. When the ground for friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up because that is what keeps it alive. Friendships of this kind seem to occur most frequently between the elderly, because at their age what they want is not pleasure but utility. Friendships based on utility are also frequently found among those in middle or early life who are pursuing their own advantage. Such persons do not spend much time together, because sometimes they do not even like one another, and therefore feel no need of such an association unless they are mutually useful. They take pleasure in each other’s company only in so far as they have hopes of advantage from it.4Friendship based on pleasure. Friendship between the young is thought to be grounded on pleasure, because the lives of the young are regulated by their feelings, and their chief interests are in their own pleasure and the opportunity of the moment. As they grow up, however, their tastes change too, so that they are quick to make and to break friendships. That is why they fall in and out of friendship quickly, changing their attitude often, even within the same day. But the young do like to spend the day and live together, because that is how they realize the object of their friendship.5Friendship based on goodness. Perfect friendship is based on goodness.Only the friendship of those who are good, and similar in their goodness, is perfect. And it is those who desire the good of their friends for the friends’ sake that are the truest friends, because each loves the other for what he is, and not for any incidental quality. The conduct of good men is the same or similar. It is between good men that both love and friendship are chiefly found and in the highest form. Such friendships are rare because men of this kind are few and they need time and intimacy; for as the saying goes, true friends must go through trials and tribulations together. And no two persons can accept each other and become friends until each has proved to the other that he is worthy of love, and so won his trust. The wish for friendship may develop rapidly, but true friendship does not.6 Another classical view of friendship can be found in the writings of Cicero, an ancient Roman statesman and orator. His writings on ethics, the philosophy of religion and natural law have been influential. According to Cicero, true friendship is only possible between good men. He further defines “the good” as “those whose actions and lives leave no question as to their honor, purity, equity, and liberality; who are free from greed, lust, and violence; and who have the courage of their convictions.” The friendship between good men, based onvirtue, does offer material benefits, but it does not seek them. Moreover, just as in friendships and relationships, those who possess any superiority must regard themselves as equals of those who are less fortunate, so these latter must not be annoyed at being surpassed in genius, fortune, or rank.7 Thus, we may see that the traditional idea of friendship is made up of three components: Friends must enjoy each other’s company; they must be useful to one another; and they must share a commitment to the good. According to the classical views, virtuous friends are bound together, as they recognize each other’s moral excellence. To perceive a friend, therefore, is in a manner to perceive oneself; and to know a friend is in a manner to know oneself. Each can be said to provide a mirror in which the other may see himself. The moral excellence of friendship, thus, involves a high level of development and expression of the altruistic emotions of sympathy, concern and care. Friendship of this kind necessarily involves conversations about well-being and of what might be involved in living the good life.▇课文参考译文友谊的真谛米歇尔·E·多伊尔马克·K·史密斯1 我们探讨友谊这个概念时，遇到的第一个问题是，没有一致赞同并获社会公认的认定（某人为）朋友的标准。
新标准大学英语综合教程3课后练习答案_Unit_3
Unit 3Language points1 For lack of a better terminology, one might name these: (1) the sensuous plane, (2) the expressive plane, (3) the sheerly musical plane. (Para 1)The expression for lack of a better terminology is used to introduce rather inexact terms. It means since we don’t have any exact terms, I’m going to use these rather rough terms.The word sensuous suggests physical pleasure which relates to your physical senses rather than to your emotions and thoughts.A plane is a level of thought, development or existence.The word sheer is used to emphasize the amount or degree of something. The sheerly musical plane refers to the level of the musical material, melodies, rhythms, harmonies etc. The sheer pleasure (Para 2, Line 2) means great or pure pleasure.2 The only advantage to be gained from mechanically splitting up the listening process into these hypothetical planes is … (Para 1)The word hypothetical means to be based on situations or events that seem possible rather than on actual ones. Here, the planes are not real, they are just part of a model for analysis and discussion.3 One turns on the radio while doing something else and absent-mindedly bathes in the sound. A kind of brainless but attractive state of mind is engendered by the mere sound appeal of the music. (Para 2)To bathe means to swim or wash yourself in a bath, river or lake. To bathe in the sound means to immerse yourself in the sound, like in water.To engender means to cause a feeling or attitude to exist. The expression engendered by the mere sound appeal means to be created only by the appeal or attraction of the sound.4 Music allows them to leave it ... dreaming because of and apropos of the music yet never quite listening to it. (Para 3)The expression apropos of means relating to; it is used to introduce something else about the subject you are talking about. The expression is derived from French, and the final -s is silent in pronunciation.5 ... but you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share of your interest. The sensuous plane is an important one in music ... but it does not constitute the whole story. (Para 4)To usurp means to take a job or position that belongs to someone else without having the right to do this.The sentence you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share of yourinterest means don’t let it take up a wrong amount of your interest.The expression it does not constitute the whole story means there is more to it than this.6 Here, immediately, we tread on controversial ground. (Para 5)The expression we tread on controversial ground contains a metaphor: These are ideas that some people will probably disagree about or not approve of.7 Composers have a way of shying away from any discussion of music’s expressive side. (Para 5)To shy away from something means to avoid someone or be unwilling to do something because you are nervous, afraid or not confident.8 Is it pessimistically sad or resignedly sad; is it fatefully sad or smilingly sad? (Para 6)The word resignedly means with resignation, accepting that something unpleasant must happen or that you cannot change it. The whole sentence gives nuances –shades of meaning – of different kinds of sadness: sadness which has a feeling of pessimism (things are bad and we can’t change them easil y), sadness to which we may feel resigned – we accept it, sadness that we feel is part of our fate – we can’t avoid it and it is part of our life, and sadness that also has humour, so we smile even though we feel sad.9 It is very important for all of us to become more alive to music on its sheerly musical plane. (Para 9)To become / be alive to something means to know that something is happening and realize how important it is.10 After all, an actual musical material is being used ... He must hear the melodies, the rhythms, the harmonies, the tone colors in a more conscious fashion. (Para 9)The musical materials refer to the elements of music, usually discussed under the headings of melody (the tune), rhythm (the effects of time or duration of the beats of music, the pulse), harmony (how the notes of music combine with each other in chords or sequences of notes), tone color (how the precise sound of notes can vary), and form (how the music is organized with all the elements and patterns of repetition and variation).11 Perhaps an analogy with what happens to us when we visit the theater will make this instinctive correlation clearer. (Para 11)An analogy is a comparison between two situations, processes etc, that is intended to show that the two are similar. That the two things are analogous means the same things are true of or relevant to both of them.Dealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 to make up or form something (constitute)2 happening or done at the same time (simultaneously)3 able to do something because you have the knowledge, skill, or experience that is needed (qualified)4 a regular pattern of sounds in music that you can show by moving, hitting your hands together, or hitting a drum or other surface (rhythm)5 to receive or obtain something from something else (derive)6 someone who writes music, especially classical music (composer)7 as much as is needed (sufficiently)5 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 4. Johann Sebastian Bach is possibly the greatest (1) composer the world has ever known. His Well-Tempered Clavichord (2) constitutes one of the most complete works for keyboard ever written. It is (3) simultaneously both a series of technical exercises which explore the possibilities of the keyboard, and a masterpiece of expressive feeling. Although he was a highly (4) qualified musician (as an organist and a choirmaster), he was not considered to be (5) sufficiently “modern” by the generation which followed him, and he was soon forgotten. But his music wasrediscovered in the 19th century, for its perfect sense of (6) rhythm and harmony. Indeed, many of the great composers of the 20th century, such as Stravinsky, (7) derived a lot of their musical ideas from him.6 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words and expressions in the box. You may need to make other changes.1 Shh! They’re about to announce the winner of this year’s International Piano Competition. (proclaim)2 It’s quite easy t o make a comparison between poetry and music. (analogy)It’s quite easy to make an analogy between poetry and music.3 We are amazed by her ability to express herself with great clearness and simplicity.

In Vermeer’s time, artis ts made their own paints by grinding up different colours and mixing the powder with water or other substances. This task was often done by an apprentice or assistant.6 Catharina has long been forbidden to enter the studio, so theapprenticeship takes place in secret. (Para 7)The apprenticeship refers to employment as an apprentice to work for someone, or a company, usually for low pay, in order to learn the type of work they do. In the 16th and 17th centuries, it was normal for people to learn how to be an artist by serving as an apprenticeship.7 The film shows very effectively the tension ... for the portrait commissioned by his patron.

Is it pessimistically sad or resignedly sad; is it fatefully sad or smilingly sad?可能的话，你不妨听听巴赫的《平均律钢琴曲集》中的48个赋格主题。

13. With electronic x-ray equipment, we seem finally to have figured out a way to hold the terrorists, real and imagined, at bay; it was such a relief to solve this problem that we did not think much about what such a state of affairs says about the quality of our lives. We now pass through these electronic friskers without so much as a sideways glance; the machines, and what they stand for, have won.
17. But no; with all this “security,” we are perhaps the most insecure nation in the history of civilized man. What better word to describe the way in which we have been forced to live? What sadder reflection on all that we have become in this new and puzzling time?

Unit 3Language points1 For lack of a better terminology, one might name these: （1) thesensuous plane, （2) the expressive plane，（3) the sheerly musical plane. (Para 1)The expression for lack of a better terminology is used to introduce rather inexact terms. It means since we don’t have any exact terms, I’m going to use these rather rough terms.The word sensuous suggests physical pleasure which relates to your physical senses rather than to your emotions and thoughts。
A plane is a level of thought， development or existence.The word sheer is used to emphasize the amount or degree of something。
The sheerly musical plane refers to the level of the musical material，melodies， rhythms， harmonies etc。
The sheer pleasure （Para 2, Line 2）means great or pure pleasure.2 The only advantage to be gained from mechanically splitting up the listening process into these hypothetical planes is … （Para 1）The word hypothetical means to be based on situations or events that seem possible rather than on actual ones。

大学英语综合教程三 unit 3答案
Listening and Speaking
Part B: I. Listening Practice
All Stressed Out and No Place to Go Please listen to following excerpt from a call-in radio talk show on the topic of stress management and do the exercises B&C on Page 23 of your textbook.
It is of great significance to learn how to manage stress. There are a number of ways in which you can reduce the negative impact of stress. If work-related stress is affecting you, it is important to tackle with the problem as soon as possible. The most important factor in reducing stress levels is managing time effectively, prioritizing tasks, delegating where necessary and taking care not to take on more than what you can handle. Completing one task before going on to the next will help you feel more in control of work, while varying tasks will help you keep interested. At the end of the day, reflect on what you’ve achieved rather than worrying about future work. Don’t be too hard on yourself and remember to take each day as it comes. Make time to relax at work by stretching and breathing deeply, and get outside for a walk during your lunch break. Confiding in trusted friends or relatives is also a useful way to articulate worries and negative feelings.

In fact, when the mass media and commercial advertisements are still reinforcing the notion that to be happy is to possess more, people find themselves longing more earnestly than ever for a happy and healthy spiritual life: being loved, respected, feeling safe and proud of realizing their self-value. As a wise man once pointed out, happiness lies in the positive attitude one holds towards life other than how much money one earns. Those millionaires who view life as boring and empty serve as good negative examples.。

(Para 1)for lack of a better terminology is used to introduce rather The expression inexact terms. It means since we don't have any exact terms, I'm going touse these rather rough terms.sensuous suggests physical pleasure which relates to your physical The word senses rather than to your emotions and thoughts.plane is a level of thought, development or existence.Asheer Theis used to emphasize the amount or degree of something. The wordsheerly musical plane refers to the level of the musical material, melodies, sheer pleasure (Para 2, Line 2) means great or rhythms, harmonies etc. The pure pleasure.2 The only advantage to be gained from mechanically splitting up thelistening process into these hypothetical planes is … (Para 1)hypothetical means to be based on situations or events that seem The word possible rather than on actual ones. Here, the planes are not real, theyare just part of a model for analysis and discussion.3 One turns on the radio while doing something else and absent-mindedlybathes in the sound. A kind of brainless but attractive state of mind is engendered by the mere sound appeal of the music. (Para 2)bathe bathemeans to swim or wash yourself in a bath, river or lake. To Toin the sound means to immerse yourself in the sound, like in water. engender means to cause a feeling or attitude to exist. The expressionToengendered by the mere sound appeal means to be created only by the appeal or attraction of the sound.4 Music allows them to leave it ... dreaming because of and apropos of the music yet never quite listening to it. (Para 3)apropos of means relating to; it is used to introduce The expression something else about the subject you are talking about. The expression is-s is silent in pronunciation.derived from French, and the final5 ... but you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share of your interest. The sensuous plane is an important one in music ... but it doesnot constitute the whole story. (Para 4)usurp means to take a job or position that belongs to someone elseTowithout having the right to do this.you must not allow it to usurp a disproportionate share ofThe sentenceyour interest means don't let it take up a wrong amount of your interest.it does not constitute the whole story means there is more The expression to it than this.6 Here, immediately, we tread on controversial ground. (Para 5)we tread on controversial ground contains a metaphor: These The expression are ideas that some people will probably disagree about or not approve of.7 Composers have a way of shying away from any discussion of music's expressive side. (Para 5)shy away from something means to avoid someone or be unwilling to do To something because you are nervous, afraid or not confident.8 Is it pessimistically sad or resignedly sad; is it fatefully sad or smilingly sad? (Para 6)resignedly means with resignation, accepting that something The word unpleasant must happen or that you cannot change it. The whole sentencegives nuances – shades of meaning – of different kinds of sadness:sadness which has a feeling of pessimism (things are bad and we can'tchange them easily), sadness to which we may feel resigned – we accept it, sadness that we feel is part of our fate – we can't avoid it and it ispart of our life, and sadness that also has humour, so we smile even thoughwe feel sad.9 It is very important for all of us to become more alive to music on its sheerly musical plane. (Para 9)become / be alive to something means to know that something is happening To and realize how important it is.10 After all, an actual musical material is being used ... He must hearthe melodies, the rhythms, the harmonies, the tone colors in a moreconscious fashion. (Para 9)musical materials refer to the elements of music, usually discussed The melody rhythm (the effects of time or under the headings of (the tune), harmony (how the notes of music duration of the beats of music, the pulse), tone color (how combine with each other in chords or sequences of notes),the precise sound of notes can vary), and form (how the music is organized with all the elements and patterns of repetition and variation).11 Perhaps an analogy with what happens to us when we visit the theaterwill make this instinctive correlation clearer. (Para 11)analogy is a comparison between two situations, processes etc, that isAnintended to show that the two are similar. That the two things areanalogous means the same things are true of or relevant to both of them.Dealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 to make up or form something (constitute)2 happening or done at the same time (simultaneously)3 able to do something because you have the knowledge, skill, or experience that is needed (qualified)4 a regular pattern of sounds in music that you can show by moving, hitting your hands together, or hitting a drum or other surface (rhythm)5 to receive or obtain something from something else (derive)6 someone who writes music, especially classical music (composer)7 as much as is needed (sufficiently)5 Complete the paragraph with the correct form of the words in Activity 4.

Although he was a highly (4) qualified musician (as an organist and a choirmaster), he was not considered to be (5) sufficiently “modern” by the generation which followed him, and he was soon forgotten. But his music was rediscovered in the 19th century, for its perfect sense of (6) rhythm and harmony. Indeed, many of the great composers of the 20th century, such as Stravinsky, (7) derived a lot of their musical ideas from him.6 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words and expressions in the box.

This is understandable since so many famous artists come from these regions. Many art museums are filled with paintings and drawings from European and North American artists from the past few hundred years. All countries, however, have a unique artistic heritage, so it should come as no surprise that countries throughout Africa and Asia have their own artistic styles and histories?Completely landlocked within Southern Africa, the nation ofBotswana is particularly susceptible to cultural trends and in flue nces from surrounding countries, chiefly South Africa ? However, there is aburgeoning arts scene native to Botswana, and the country also has a long history of distinet artistic traditi ons.The oldest evidenee of art in the country was found in the Tsodilo Hills, located in northwestern Botswana, in the Kalahari Desert? Dating to 1,000—2,000 years ago, these rock paintings form the highest concentration of rock art in the world and are considered sacred by the San minority culture. Today, the San are known for continuing the ancient arts of decorating ostrich eggshells for jewelry and creating ostrich eggshell beads, which they consider to represent good luck and good fortune. Archaeologists believe this type of bead to be the oldest-known man-made bead; they have been recovered at East and Southern African archaeological digs and dated to 28,000_ 5,000 years ago.The National Museum and Art Gallery in Gabor one is the cen trepiece of moder n art in the country. It is widely regarded as one of the best art galleries in Southern Africa; it holds regular exhibitions highlighting the work of local artists and also sponsors an annual celebration for local art and artists. The National Museum also acts as custodian for the cultural heritage and traditions of the country, the duties of which include preservation, education, and promotio n. Twe ntieth and twenty-first century painters in elude Phillip Segola, Ann Gollifer, and Neo Matome.Spring in Gaborone, the capital city, sees the annual Maitisong Festival—the country's largest celebration of the performing arts. The festival includes free outdoor performances at city arenas as well as ticketed in door eve nts at Gaborone'stheatres and arts venues ? Performing arts organizations, such as the Mogwana Dance Troupe, are becoming more popular as more and more people embrace and wish to share their cultural heritage.Local handcrafts, supported in large part by the tourist trade, are generally of the utilitarian variety. Handwoven baskets, one of the specialties associated with Botswana, are of extremely high quality. Made almost exclusively in the Okavango region, they are woven with the leaves of the Mokolwane palm and utilize various roots and barks in order to give the baskets their unique colours and desig ns (typically associated with the nation's traditi on al lifestyle). Due to the abundance of cattle livestock, leatherwork hasalso developed as an important and widespread handcraft. Traditionally used to make clothing, blankets, and sleeping mats, leather is today more often used to make designer bags, belts, and accessories?41.

Which quote do you like best? Why?George Washington⊙True friendship is a plant of slow growth.— George WashingtonInterpretation:Just like plants, friendship needs nurturing.

It takes time to mature.George Washington (1732-1799): the first President of the US. Washington was commander-in-chief of the colonial army during the American Revolutionary War. After the war he was elected President of the United States twice, but refused to remain in the position for a third time.Benjamin Franklin◎Be slow in choosing a friend; slower in changing.—Benjamin FranklinInterpretation:Friends and friendships may have great influence on our lives and may last as long as we live. So we should be careful when choosing a friend and should be even more careful when we decide to end the friendship. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790): a US politician, writer, and scientist. He was involved in writing two historically significant documents, the Declaration of Independence (《独立宣言》) and the Constitution of the United States (《美国宪法》). He is famous for proving that lightning is a form of electricity by doing a scientific test in which he flew a kite during a storm, and he invented the lightning conductor. He is also well known for his literary works such as Poor Richard’s Almanac(《穷理查德年鉴》1732-1757；亦译作《格言历书》、《穷理查历书》) and Autobiography (《自传》1790).Samuel Johnson◎ A man should keep his friendships in constant repair.—Samuel JohnsonInterpretation:It is important to maintain friendships.

Write down the main idea of each part.Section B In-Depth StudyFriendship is an eternal (永恒的) theme (主题) in human history. A life without friendship is hard to imagine. But what is friendship? Read the following text and see if you can gain some new insights into the true meaning of friendship.What is Friendship?Michele E. Doyle & Mark K. Smith1 When we approach the notion of friendship, our first problem is that there is a lack of firmly agreed and socially acknowledged criteria for what makes a person a friend. In one setting, we may describe someone as a friend; in another, the label may seem less appropriate. Therefore, people tend to have a very thin understanding of what friendship really means. To help us understand what friendship really means, we need to review some classical views of friendship.2 One classical view of friendship is provided by Aristotle, the famous ancient Greek philosopher. Aristotle distinguishes between what he believes to be genuine friendships and two other forms: one based on mutual usefulness, the other on pleasure. So, according to Aristotle, we may find three kinds of friendship:3Friendship based on utility. Utility is an impermanent thing: it changes according to circumstances. When the ground for friendship disappears, the friendship also breaks up because that is what keeps it alive. Friendships of this kind seem to occur most frequently between the elderly, because at their age what they want is not pleasure but utility. Friendships based on utility are also frequently found among those in middle or early life who are pursuing their own advantage. Such persons do not spend much time together, because sometimes they do not even like one another, and therefore feel no need of such an association unless they are mutually useful. They take pleasure in each other’s company only in so far as they have hopes of advantage from it.4Friendship based on pleasure. Friendship between the young is thought to be grounded on pleasure, because the lives of the young are regulated by their feelings, and their chief interests are in their own pleasure and the opportunity of the moment. As they grow up, however, their tastes change too, so that they are quick to make and to break friendships. That is why they fall in and out of friendship quickly, changing their attitude often, even within the same day. But the young do like to spend the day and live together, because that is how they realize the object of their friendship.5Friendship based on goodness. Perfect friendship is based on goodness.Only the friendship of those who are good, and similar in their goodness, is perfect. And it is those who desire the good of their friends for the friends’ sake that are the truest friends, because each loves the other for what he is, and not for any incidental quality. The conduct of good men is the same or similar. It is between good men that both love and friendship are chiefly found and in the highest form. Such friendships are rare because men of this kind are few and they need time and intimacy; for as the saying goes, true friends must go through trials and tribulations together. And no two persons can accept each other and become friends until each has proved to the other that he is worthy of love, and so won his trust. The wish for friendship may develop rapidly, but true friendship does not.6 Another classical view of friendship can be found in the writings of Cicero, an ancient Roman statesman and orator. His writings on ethics, the philosophy of religion and natural law have been influential. According to Cicero, true friendship is only possible between good men. He further defines “the good” as “those whose actions and lives leave no question as to their honor, purity, equity, and liberality; who are free from greed, lust, and violence; and who have the courage of their convictions.” The friendship between good men, based onvirtue, does offer material benefits, but it does not seek them. Moreover, just as in friendships and relationships, those who possess any superiority must regard themselves as equals of those who are less fortunate, so these latter must not be annoyed at being surpassed in genius, fortune, or rank.7 Thus, we may see that the traditional idea of friendship is made up of three components: Friends must enjoy each other’s company; they must be useful to one another; and they must share a commitment to the good. According to the classical views, virtuous friends are bound together, as they recognize each other’s moral excellence. To perceive a friend, therefore, is in a manner to perceive oneself; and to know a friend is in a manner to know oneself. Each can be said to provide a mirror in which the other may see himself. The moral excellence of friendship, thus, involves a high level of development and expression of the altruistic emotions of sympathy, concern and care. Friendship of this kind necessarily involves conversations about well-being and of what might be involved in living the good life.▇课文参考译文友谊的真谛米歇尔·E·多伊尔马克·K·史密斯1 我们探讨友谊这个概念时，遇到的第一个问题是，没有一致赞同并获社会公认的认定（某人为）朋友的标准。

Unit 3Book 3I. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph fromwhich the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Eachparagraph is marked with a letter.A)LOS ANGELES—Fans rushed to see 3-D movies such as Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballsin theaters this year and new 3-D televisions could soon have home viewers feeling as if they're surrounded by a noodle storm on their couches. Next year, major electronics manufacturers Sony Corp. and Panasonic Corp. plan to introduce 3-D-capable high-definition televisions for the mass market. You'll still need to wear special glasses, though.B)Movie studios hope 3-D can help lift the weak home video market the same way it has pushedup box office results. The initial price of such sets is expected to be high—perhaps 20 percent more than normal sets of the same size. But costs should come down in the coming years.Depending on prices, 3-D-ready TVs could be in 28 million to 46 million homes worldwide by 2013, predicts Alfred Poor, an analyst with GigaOM Pro. He estimates that next year, as many as 2.5 million sets worldwide will be sold with 3-D capability. "We're raising a whole generation of kids who expect to see this effect for their movies at home," Poor said. "I think people want 3-D. I just don't think they're going to want to pay a whole lot more for it." To avoid the need for special screens, some manufacturers of TV sets are being away from the 3-D technology common in theaters in favor of what's known as "active avoidance". That uses an infra-red (红外线的) emitter on the TV to tell battery-powered glasses when to adjust the left and right lenses in conjunction with the images on the screen, which gives the perception of three dimensions. The sets themselves will require relatively minor upgrades from today's models, but the glasses will cost more, raising the price of the overall package.C)There's no question 3-D movies are popular. They generated more than $1 billion at boxoffices worldwide this year, and on a per-screen basis, 3-D showings typically bring in more than double the revenue of regular screenings when a movie is offered in both versions. For hits like Disney/Pixar's Up and 20th Century Fox's Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, more than half of ticket revenues came from 3-D screens, despite accounting for far fewer showings, according to the research firm Screen Digest. Those screenings tend to fill up, and moviegoers are willing to pay a few dollars extra per ticket.D)Making these 3-D movies hasn't been cheap, and so far there hasn't been an adequate way togive back those higher costs in the home video market, which brings in far more dollars to studios than the theatrical release. In September, DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. released a two-disc pack of Monsters vs. Aliens with just a 3-D bonus vignette (花絮) accompanying a 2-D version of the movie. It comes with cardboard glasses with dark reddish purple and green lenses that create a 3-D effect. The so-called "anaglyph (立体影片)" technology is out ofdate and can change colors but works with regular TVs.E)"We think for 10 minutes or so, it's a fun experience, but it's not a great experience for anhour-and-a-half or two-hour-long movie," said John Batter, DreamWorks' co-president of production for feature animation (动画片). The studio is considering a re-release of the movie at higher prices using modern 3-D technology, followed by future releases after 3-D TVs become available next year. Batter said 3-D releases "will certainly grow over time and it will become, I think, a significant part of our home video business in a three- to five-year cycle".F)Meanwhile, Universal Studios Home Entertainment released the stop-motion animated movieCoraline in July both in 2-D and 3-D with the cardboard glasses, but director Henry Selick said he was disappointed with the result. "I wish they'd waited to do the home 3-D release until the technology caught up to what it was in the theaters," Selick told a conference last month. "I'm disappointed in how few people got to see it in the best possible way."G)As more living rooms are equipped for movies in 3-D, studios will have stronger motivationto release them for home viewing especially as 3-D movies are expected to spend less time in theaters. With about 30 3-D movies headed for theaters next year and only enough screens to show one major picture at a time, the average theatrical run will shrink to less than two weeks in 2010, down from nearly nine weeks in 2008, according to Charlotte Jones, a senior analyst with Screen Digest.H)That could put more emphasis on making up for filmmaking costs on the home market, shesaid. But the home market is also coming under pressure. US home video revenues in the first half of 2009 fell 3.9 percent from a year ago to $9.4 billion. Tom Adams, president of Adams Media Research, said 3-D videos could be the good news in the industry needs, especially because it will take a lot longer for 3-D TV signals to reach people's homes by cable or broadcast. "Among the early adopting crowd, they're going to go out and buy practically everything that comes out," Adams said. "It could be pretty profitable for studios even if it's fairly small in terms of the number of households."I)Cable networks are experimenting with 3-D, too. Last month, ESPN hosted test screenings ofa USC-Ohio State football game in four US cities, following similar events put on bytechnology provider 3ality Digital LLC.J)Many technology companies are banking on a 3-D-at-home boom.

At 8:46 a.m. American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York, sparking a massive explosion and leaving a giant hole in the building’s façade(建筑物的正面). At 9:03 a.m., United Airline Flight 175, smashed into the south one of the World Trade Center twin towers, wiping out many of the supporting column and leaving the building aflame. At 9:40 a.m., American Flight 77 slammed from the west into a segment of the Pentagon (US Defence Department) building where more than 800 people work. It crashes into the five-sided building into its lower floors near a helicopter landing pad. Within minutes, the upper floors collapsed into the 300-meter-wide gap, which extends most of the ways through the office rings to the courtyard. At 9:59 a.m., after remaining erect for 56 minutes, the south tower of the World Trade Center, structurally crippled to a greater degree than its twin, fell down floor by floor in 10 seconds, following an explosion in a huge cloud of smoke and dust. At 10:28 the north tower, having stood for 102 minutes, fell down like a house of cards in eight seconds, sending tons of debris into the surrounding streets. At 11:34 a.m., United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in western Pennsylvania, between New York and Washington.More than 8,000 people were killed and feared dead in these terror attacks. The horizon of New York, a symbol of American superior strength, was forever changed and downscaled. The twin towers of the World Trade Center are now consigned to postcard memories in a shockingly short period of time. Over 400 meters high, the 110-story towers were the tallest in the world when they were completed almost 30 years ago. One side of Pentagon, the US military headquarters, was also seriously damaged.11. How many planes crashed on Sept.11, 2001?A. FourB. ThreeC. Two.D. Five.12.

In what tone does the author describe the Sept.11 attacks?A.CondemningB. ObjectiveC. ExaggeratingD. PessimisticPassage 2Tragedy, sudden and terrible, has again struck an American school: fifteen lives were lost and a city and a nation left with scars that cannot be removed. Because guns and explosives were used to cause the mayhem (大灾害), the immediate outcry is for gun control laws.Most likely the shotguns and even the handguns used were legally purchased and registered and probably the guns were the property of the fathers of the boys who used them. Shotguns are the most common guns used in the sports of hunting small game animals and birds.The possibility of passing laws forbidding sportsmen from owning shotguns would be very slight. There would be intense opposition to such laws. On the other hand, laws forbidding handguns have a greater chance of enactment(设定). But then the familiar saying would become fact: “W hen guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.”Many crimes in America are committed by people using guns. Most of these people have a record of criminal offenses. By law these criminals are not allowed to purchase or own guns. Do they care? No. They do not obey laws and find other ways to get guns.The problem is a people problem, not just a gun problem. In America, we have become a nation that has largely rejected the traditional rules and ethics of Western society that have helped it become a society of progress and the rule of law.Behind societies ruled by law— maybe in the shadows, but still there—was the feeling that over us all was a higher law that man is ultimately answerable to. Man’s law s were therefore supposed to be an extension of this law.Modern society has moved beyond this concept to a very self-centered concept of “ I am my own law”. There is no more black or white or absolute right or wrong. No higher law determines it: We decide individually. What seems right and feels right for me is therefore “right”. Also, what is “right” in one situation may be “wrong” in another, and what is “wrong” for you may be “right”for me. This concept is called moral relativism. Depending upon circumstances and how we feel about an action, it becomes right or wrong for us.For at least the last generation, public education in America has largely failed to teach right and wrong. Public schools can only appeal to personal feelings and opinions. Since most of society does not teach that there is absolute truth, the young people lack moral convictions.Some other cultural influences of today must also share in responsibility for such murderous rampages (暴怒). Many video and computer games are filled with mass destruction. You are the warrior and must destroy as many enemies as possible. You fire your weapon and your enemy goes up in a puff of smoke or flame. The more you kill, the higher your score.Think of the amount of violence shown in modern films. People with minds already distorted with hatred, as were the two from Littleton, can get plenty of education about the excitement of destroying their enemies. These two, unfortunately, acted out their fantasies.To get back to our original question—gun control or people control, can it be done? —people control will not be accomplished until the heart of America changes. Government cannot accomplish this.16.
