To train SAR dogs, people pretend to be “lost” so the dogs can“find” them. Friends of Springfield’s SAR Team often find themselves going into the woods and staying there until a trainee dog finds them. As people walk along, up to 10,000 tiny bits of material containing their own particular smell are left behind every minute. SAR dogs can easily detect these bits of scent. The trainer just gives them an item of clothing（误听items closen）from the lost person and the dog can simply follow its nose to find the person.（nose误听notes）In the five years between 2021 and 2021 the Springfield SAR Team responded to 122 calls for help. Of these 122 calls, SAR dogs were able to help almost 40 percent of the time.(of误听all) Here are a few of our more unusual success stories:A Surprising HeroElementary school teacher Carolyn Rubin has been a trainer with the Springfield SAR Team for four years. She was out for her usual run one sunnySunday morning in the spring of 2021. Her own SAR dog, Lucy, was with her. As Rubin followed a jogging path into a wooded area, she suddenly realized that a shadowy shape ahead of her was a large black bear — and it was coming directly towards her! Luckily, Lucy immediately started barking and biting the bear’s back legs and eventually scared the animal away.The Right Place at the Right TimeIn February 2021, David Roycroft, a local dentist, was skiing alone in Canyon Park. Suddenly Roycroft heard a loud noise. He looked up the hill and saw a three-meter wall of snow heading straight for him. A moment later he was under it. If a person remains under snow for 30 minutes, he or she has only a 50 percent chance of survival. Luckily, Springfield SAR member Jeannie Neal was skiing nearby with her dog, Rusty. Rusty was able to locate Roycroft by his scent（scent误听cent）and dig him out within ten minutes. This was a first human direct find for Rusty and the dog seemed as happy about it as Roycroft!scent，名词，香，气味，香气。

Where d o two of the man’s roommates come from?15. What problem did the roommates have?Part CListening is an important language skill. We must acquire this skill for success and enjoyment throughout our lives. Just think how much time we spend every day listening. We listen to the radio, television programs, concerts, tapes and disks. We also listen to teachers, friends, our family members and other peopl e. The better we listen, the more we will succeed in our work and study.Listening is basically the und erstanding of words and the relationship between sentences. Bad listeners only listen to separate words and separate sentences. They try to und erstandevery word and every sentence. This is impossibl e even when we listen in our language. A good stud ent will constantly examine his listening habits so that he can find out his strengths and weakness. In this way he can improve his listening skills.Part DPassage 1Mr. and Mrs. Green were going abroad for their holidays. They had a d og call ed Blackie which they were very fond of, but they coul d not take him abroad with them, so they wanted to l ook for a good place to l eave him whil e they were away. First they asked their neighbor Mrs. White for help. Then they call ed their coll eague Mr. Black. But both of them said they would not be abl e to take Blackie. At last they found a d og care center, which l ooked after dogs whil e their owners were away. The coupl e took Blackie there just before they l eft for their holiday, and sadly said goodbye to him.At the end of their holiday, they got back to England very late at night, and as they thought the center might be cl osed at that late hour, they decid ed to wait until the next day before going to get Blackie. So the next morning Mr. Green got into his car and drove off happily to coll ect him.When he reached home with the d og, he said to his wife, “Do you know, d ear, I d on’t think Blackie can h ave enjoyed his time at the center very much. He barked all the way home in the car as if he wanted to tell me something.”Mrs. Green l ooked at the d og carefully and then answered, “You’re right, d ear. He was certainly trying to tell you something. But he wasn’t trying to tell you that he hadn’t enjoyed his stay. He was only trying to tell you that you were bri nging the wrong d og home. This isn’t Blackie!”Q 26. What d o you know about Mr. Green?27. Where did Mr. Mrs. Green leave Blackie whil e they were on holiday?28. When did they come back from holiday?29. Why did the dog bark all the way home?Passage 2Barbara, a night duty nurse in the l ocal hospital, was driving home in stormy weather. The road was icy and she had to drive very carefully. Sudd enly she noticed that the car ahead of her had l ost control on a patch of ice. In a minute, the car moved wil dly, roll ed over and then crashed sideways into a telephone pol e.It was an emergency, Barbara realized at once. She stopped her car and threw open the d oor. Thank goodness she was a nurse—she might be abl e to help. Without d elay, she ran towards the crash site. It was worse than she’d feared. Two girls of high-school age were in the car. One, on the passenger seat, had been killed instantly. The driver, however, was still breathing. She was unconscious though. Barbara quickly applied pressure to the wo und in the teenager’s head whil e her nurse’s e ye took in the other injuries—a broken l eg, maybe two, along with probabl e internal bl eeding. But if help came soon the girl might remain alive.Meanwhil e, a truck had pull ed up and the driver was calling for help on his cell phone. Soon Barbara heard the ambulance coming. A few moments later, rescue workers arrived. “Good job,” one said as he examined the girl’s wounds. “You’ve probably saved her life.”Q 30. How were the weather and road conditions when the accid ent happened?31. What did Barbara d o to d eal with the emergency?32. What can we conclud e from the story?Passage 3Two years ago I entered university. I was not excited but d epressed.One reason was that the campus was not so large and so beautiful as I expected. Also I found many books in the library were out of date. Moreover, I was told that the job prospects of university graduates were not so promising.The other reason was that, although I was acquainted with a great number of new classmates, I feel uncomfortabl e communicating with them.Eventually I became silent. I sel d om entered conversations with others. I was in l ow spirits. I didn’t truly know myself. At the end of the first semester I surprisingly found I did a poor job in the exams of almost all subjects. It was really a great shock to me.Then I d ecid ed to pluck up my courage and change my thinking. Now I spend several hours a day in the library to obtain new knowl edge acquisition is very important to university stud ents. I keep informed of what is going on in the world. I’ve also l earned to help and care for others. I’m not lively and self-confid ent. I believe that my future is bright.Q 33. How did the speaker feel when she entered university?34. What was one of the reasons why the speaker didn’t like her university?35. What can you l earn about the speaker?。

Yet most people would say that a real friend is more than just a fair weather fri end. A fair weather fri end?

All sorts of memories, like the time Tim Shea broke the window, the Halloween that we tiedOld Mr. Parker's gate, and when Mrs. Culver used to keep us after school, came flooding back. What a great time we spent hanging out together. Come to think of it, time was just about all we did have to spend in those days.But time flies.

Before you read it, let me tell you something about its author, Stephen Hawking.Hawking is perhaps the most well-known scientist since Einstein. Like Einstein his work tackles the big questions, questions such as How did the universe begin? Why is the universe the way it is? and How will it end? He is now working on what is sometimes known as the 'theory of everything.' Among other things, this promises to explain what caused the Big Bang that started the universe.But it is not simply the power of Hawking's mind that has led to his fame. For what many people find most striking about him is the contrast between the strength of his mind and the weakness of his body. For for many years Hawking has suffered from an illness that has left him unable to move and to speak normally.Born in England in 1942, Hawking had a normal childhood, and it was not until he was a student at university that his illness started to affect him. Hospital tests showed he was suffering from a disease that weakens control over the muscles. The disease gets worse with time and there is no known cure. But Hawking did not lose heart. As he says, "although there was a cloud hanging over my future, I found, to my surprise, that I was enjoying life more than before. I began to make progress with my research, and I got engaged to a girl called Jane Wilde. That engagement changed my life. It gave me something to live for."Hawking started research at Cambridge and went on to hold the same post that another great scientist, Newton, once held. Over the years his condition has worsened, but even when he finally lost the ability to speak, he managed to get round the problem. He now uses a computer that enables him to select words which are then turned into speech.

《全新版大学英语综合教程》（第二版）第一册课文翻译及课后练习答案2012-09-16 18:15:09| 分类：||Unit 1 Growing UpText A Writing for myself为自己而写——拉塞尔·贝克从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头，但直等到我高中三年级，这一想法才有了实现的可能。
在这之前，我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。
我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。
我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作，老师读着受累，我写着痛苦。
弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时，我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。
弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。
据说他拘谨刻板，完全落后于时代。
我看他有六七十岁了，古板之极。
他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜，微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐，梳得纹丝不乱。
他身穿古板的套装，领带端端正正地顶着白衬衣的领扣。
他长着古板的尖下巴，古板的直鼻梁，说起话来一本正经，字斟句酌，彬彬有礼，活脱脱一个滑稽的老古董。
我作好准备，打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上一年，不少日子过去了，还真不出所料。
后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。
弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸，出了不少题目供我们选择。
像"暑假二三事"那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有，但绝大多数一样乏味。
我把作文题带回家，一直没写，直到要交作业的前一天晚上。
我躺在沙发上，最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课，便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗一看。
我的目光落在"吃意大利细面条的艺术"这个题目上。
这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。
贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来，当时，我们大家一起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。
那时意大利细面条还是很少听说的异国食品。
多丽丝和我都还从来没吃过，在座的大人也是经验不足，没有一个吃起来得心应手的。

The unit may benefit from including more scaffolding and support for students who are struggling with the material. Additionally, the unit could be improved by incorporating more opportunities for students to receive feedback on their work, as this can help them to identify areas for improvement.Conclusion:Overall, Unit 1 of the new edition of College English Integrated Course 1 is a well-rounded and comprehensive introduction to the course.

In this part you'll learn some of the ways we use to control a conversation.Listen to the conversations and supply the missing words in the blanks.1. M: Great party, isn’t it?W: Yeah, super. Everyone seems to be having a good time.M: They do, don’t they? By the way, do you know that girl talking to Jack?W: Who?Oh, that’s Mary. She lives in our dormitory.M: She’s p retty. Don’t you think so?W: Yes, and clever too. One of the best students in her class, I believe.M: Do you know her well?W: Quite well, shall I introduce you to her?M: That’d be nice2. M: When are you leaving for Australia, Diana?W: In just two weeks. And I'm so excited. But there are still one or two things I need to do before I go.M: Like what?W: Like going to the travel agent and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I'm gone.M: Your apartment? Perhaps you could sublet it.W: Yeah, but who to?M: Hmm, let me think. Oh, I know just the person. An old friend of mine, Peter Jones, is coming here to do some research this summer, from June through August.W: That's exactly when I'll be away. Sounds ideal. When could you talk to him about it?M: Well, I'll be calling him later this week, anyway. I'll mention it to him then.W: Thanks a lot. Come to think of it, Michael, shall we have a get together with Tom and Catherine this weekend?M: Good idea! Let's do that.Useful Expressions for Controlling and Changing a ConversationControlling a Conversation●I see.●Yeah.●Yes.●Hmm.●Well…●Sure.●Really.●No kidding!●Imagine that!●Like what?●Don’t you think so?●Well, let me see…●Let me think for a minute.Changing a Conversation●By the way…●Co me to think of it…●Speaking of…●And another thing …●Something else I’d like to know is…●This may sound like a dumb question, but I’d like to know…●To get back to our talk…Notes1.Expressions such as “yeah; yes; hmm…” help control a conversation, indicating that you arelistening and you want the other person to continue the conversation. The expressions “Really?”, “No kidding”, “Imagine that!” etc. can do the same job, but indicate surprise.2.“By the way…” and “Come to think of it…” are expressions we use wh en we try to changethe subject of a conversation.Listening StrategyIdentifying Adverbials of FrequencyExpressions like "once a week", "twice a month" etc. are used to denote how often you do something.Now listen to the recording and write down short answers to the questions.1.Once a week.2.Twice a week .3.Daily. .4.Every other day .5.Four nights a week .6.Never .Script:1.

What was it like?3.Do you worry about anything before going to a party? (e.g. What to wear? Who to go with?)4.Would you like to talk to people you don’t know at a party?

What was it like?I was invited to a Christmas party last month by a group of foreign teachers. They had prepared some drinks, candies and cakes. The party room had been decorated with a Christmas tree with some shining sparkling articles hanging down from the top. After we entered the room, we exchanged some small talks with foreigners and then we sang Christmas songs together. The atmosphere was light and friendly.5. What is small talk? Are you good at it?Small talk is a light conversation on unimportant or non-serious subjects. I used to think that small talk is meaningless and a waste of time, so I didn’t bother to learn how to handle small talk. Now I have a different view of small talk. I find it quite useful for the purpose of communication, especially in social gatherings. That’s why I’m tryi ng to improve my skill at small talk.Language FocusHere are some useful sentences and structures that you might find handy in discussing the above questions:●I like / love going to parties.●I don't care for parties. They're too noisy.●Parties are great fun.

Have a good time at the party.Language and Culture Notes1. small talk Light conversations on unimportant or non-serious subjects such as the weather or TV programs that you saw last night, or little compliments on what people are wearing. In a social gathering where a lot of guests are strangers to one another, small talk can be very useful to make them feel at ease.2. Carol just invited me to a party. Carol has just invited me to a party. In informal speech, Americans very often use the past tense instead of the present perfect tense. You will often hear "Did you have lunch?" rather than "Have you had lunch?"3. But what if I say something stupid?But what will happen if I say something uninteresting, boring, or unsuitable for the occasion? What if = what will/would happen if?4. You can talk about the weather In many countries, the weather is an appropriate topic to strike up a conversation with someone, even with a stranger. However, people normally add some kind of personal evaluation to the description of the weather. For example, they would say “It’s raining terribly hard today, isn’t it?” Here, “terribly hard” shows the speaker’s feelings about the weather.Exercise 1: Listening for general understandingListen to the recording once and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1.

In order to avoid being a boring person, what should one talk about at a party according toMike?One should talk about something other people are interested in.5. How can one find out what other people are interested in?By getting them to talk about themselves.Speaking TasksPair WorkListen to the conversations and repeat after the recording.

And they become victims offinancial tricks.M: Well, they should know that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.Q: What does the man think people should know?Part BConversation 1M: Are you feeling alright, Jane? You look pretty tired.W: My sister and I had a birthday party for my brother last night. I didn't get much sleep.M: Where did you have the party?W: It was at my aunt's house.

I can't handle a pressure situation like that.W: Well, I just turned the paper in. and now I'm going home to bed.

How many people have been asked for a second interview?15. What does the man’s girlfriend want?Part C.Everyone knows the value of money. If you have a lot of money, you can make yourself very comfortable by having a fine house to live in, fashionable clothes to wear and delicious food to eat. With money you can do whatever you like. Money is so important and so useful that people are naturally keen on possessing it.But money can also be a source of evil. For the sake of money, some people do not care about their means of getting it. They will steal, gamble, cheat and even kill to get money, profiting at the expense of their victims.It is true that money can bring people happiness. With money the basic necessities can be provided for. With money the theatre and other places of entertainment can be enjoyed. But in my opinion the truly happy are those who make money through their work and live within their income.In short, money is important and useful but in itself it has little value if it doe not give people real happiness.Part D.Passage 1Nicholas MacMahon is a four-year-old child. He is studying at college because he is too intelligent for school. Nicholas has computer lessons at the West London institute. He spoke well before he was one year old. At eighteen months he took telephone messages for his parents. At the age of two he began to learn French. The strange thing about Nicholas is that he taught himself to read before he could speak. His father said, “we knew immediately that he could read. When he could speak, he corrected my spell ing”. When Nicholas went to school, his teachers just gave him pictures to color and toys to play with and did not have time to prepare special lessons for him. Nicholas tried two different schools, but he was bored and unhappy. Then his parents decided that he couldn’t stay at an ordinary school. But they had no idea what to do with him. Then the West London institute offered to help. Nicholas spends some of his time there, and also studies at home. Now he reads newspapers every day, and he can play the violin well. His father said, “Nicholas is our life. He is a clever child and we want to help him in every way.”26. Which adjective can best describe Nicholas?27. When did Nicholas learn to take telephone message for his parents?28. What is Nicholas studying at college?29. Which of the following is true about Nicholas?Passage 2Tom Johnson came to London from Scotland to start a new job as a hotel porter. He had rented a flat and was enjoying a simple but good life in London.However, it all ended suddenly when he became jobless and couldn’t pay the rent. Tom had to leave his rented home and found himself alone in a big city with no money or friends. After that, he had to beg for money in busy streets and sleep in parks. It was a sad and dangerous life indeed.Then one day his luck changed. He came across a man named Johnny Reid who had opened a hotel and needed a porter. Johnny felt sorry for Tom and decided to give him a job as a porter and a room at his hotel.Tom was so excited. He said, “It’s nice to know that there are still kind people in the world. It is Johnny’s kindness that saved me. Actually that’s a lesson for everyone. Some people think homeless people are lazy. Why should we help them? Actually we don’t want to live on the streets, but we’re totally helpless. It’s so unpleasant especially when it’s cold and wet outside. So don’t be afraid to help someone in trouble. And please, don’t be rude or nasty to homeless people.”30. What happened when Tom lost his job?31. Who is Johnny Reid?32. What’s Tom’s advice?Passage 3There’s a lot to learn about shopping. In my opinion not everyone is a good shopper. Some people spend a lot of time and money but bring back something nor worth the price they paid for it. Thus quarrels occur between husbands and wives. So try to be a smart shopper.Here are some tips.First of all, before you go shopping, make a list of the things that you are going to buy. It saves you time and keeps you from forgetting something.Secondly, try to locate where you can buy these things and find out prices. To do this, you can buy a local newspaper and read the “sale”section in the classified advertisements. Once you’ve found something that you want, call the store immediately and make sure that’s still there. Cheap things and things of good value usually sell very quickly. So try to be the first one to reach the seller.Thirdly, compare the prices of the same product in different stores, either by telephoning or visiting them.Lastly, it’s generally cheaper to shop in chain stores and supermarkets. Shops that remain open until quite late may charge rather higher prices in return for their longer hours of service.33. What does the passage mainly tell us?34. What does the speaker say we should do first before shopping?。
