Unit 1Key to ExercisesPart I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nave a code that you can live by.And so, become yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lather's hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks, the one you'll mow by.Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I - 93 -And you, oi tender years,Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks, tbe one you'll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, "a code diat you can live by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and "become yourself." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children — "you of tender years" — also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children should share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such moments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.Part II Text A Text Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of a question.Points forComparison/ContrastChinese Americans1) ways to learn to accomplish a task show a child how to dosomething, or teach byholding his handteach children thatthey should rely onthemselves forsolutions to problems2) attitudes to creativity and skills give greater priorityto developing skillsat an early age,put more emphasis onfostering creativityin young children,believing creativity can be promoted over time thinking skills can be picked up later1. Vocabulary1) insert 2) on occasion3) investigate 4) In retrospect5) initial 6) phenomena7) attached 8) make up for9) is awaiting 10) not …in the least11) promote 12) emerged2. Rewrite each sentence1) There is a striking contrast between the standard of living in the north of the country and the south.2) Natural fiber is said to be superior to synthetic fiber.3) The city's importance as a financial center has evolved slowly.4) His nationality is not relevant to whether he is a good lawyer.5) The poems by a little-known sixteenth-century Italian poet have found their way into some English magazines.3. 1) Chinese isn't a subject that can be picked up in a month. You can't accomplish your goal of mastering the language unless you work at it for years. Well, it sounds as ifI'm exaggerating the difficulties, but the fact is I'm only telling the truth.2) The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of the children. From what she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. She has just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they applyto both Chinese and overseas teachers.3) The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent two extremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to effectively assist children in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of control. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guided approach would be a superior way to guide children's development. This approach combines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.

Translation1. sentences1) It takes an enormous amount of courage to make a departure from the tradition.2) Tom used to be very shy, but this time he was bold enough to give a performance in front of a large audience.3) Many educators think it desirable to foster the creative spirit in the child at an early age.4) Assuming (that) this painting really is a masterpiece, do you think it’s worthwhile to buy/ purchase it?5) If the data is statistically valid, it will throw light on the problem we are investigating.2. passage translationTo improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening and speaking. Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.U2Text AA Life Full of RichesI. Vocabulary1.

Translate the passageThough how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.。

Nevertheless,childbirth and greater responsibilities for childcare can put women at a disadvantage in competition with men.The situation is made all the more difficult by discrimination against women in selection and promotion in certain professions.There are a number of ways to remedy this situation.Improving women's confidence about what they can achieve is one.Destroying male prejudices is another.But the answer lies not just in changing ideas.Material support in the form of improved childcare facilities is needed,as is greater protection from the law against sexual discrimination.(152words)UnitUnit77VocabularyI. 1.1)independent2)Strictly speaking3)drifted4)resembles5)virtually6)invaded7)conquered8)fascinating9)snack10)will be put into practice11)classics..12)source13)climate14)surrendered15)were...aroused2.1)In the United States,private cars are an absolute necessity rather than a luxury.2)Everyone thinks that the new member is a valuable addition to the football team.3)I am afraid the fire will get out of control if the firemen do not arrive within ten minutes.4)As all flights to the United States have been cancelled,you have no alternative but to go via5)source 7)in 9)how11)given/delivered 13)by15)without 2.tolerance 4.addition 6.corrupt 8.establishing 10.Massive 12.enrich2)those4)must6)further8)began10)in12)than14)so16)commonComprehension Check1.c2.c3.c4.d5.b6.dLanguage Practice1.give way to2.predict3.substantial4.integrate5.in transition6.aspect7.professionals8.genuine9.economic10.to name a few11.authority12.dominate13.crude14.trend15.shift16.had contributed to17.unique18.exceeding19.rid yourself of20.statusPart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperEstimates of English Speakers from1950to2050This graph shows the changes of the estimated numbers of English speakers from1950to 2050.English speakers are divided into three groups,i.e.,LI speakers,L2speakers and EFL speak ers.According to the graph,it is estimated that the number of LI speakers was a little over20 million in1950,a figure that will increase to around450million by2050.L2speakers will triple during the same period,from less than200million to around600million.EFL speakers will double in number over the period,starting from about400million in1950and reaching to over900million in 2050.Although the numbers of English speakers in all three groups tend to increase,their patterns of increase are different.LI speakers increase steadily over the entire period,but not as rapidly as L2 speakers.This rapid growth is predicted to lead to L2speakers outnumbering LI speakers by the year2010.Trends for the number of EFL speakers follow a somewhat different path.While the figures remained stable during the1950s they then began to experience an increasingly sharp rise that is expected to level off and remain stable from2020.(195words)Unit8VocabularyI. 1.1)universal2)current3)worked his way4)deny5)melt6)came through7)threat8)combat9)in the name of10)raged11)vote12)concerns13)in part14)reality15)urgent2.1)There has been much debate on the new teaching method invented by a young education-ist.2)Most kinds of cancer are fatal without proper treatment.II.Confusable Words1.1)sensible 3)sentimental 5)sensible2.1)conserve 3)conserve2)sensitive 4)sensitive 6)sentimental 2)preserves 4)preservingIII.Word Formationage-old 古老的air force 空军daughter-in-law 儿媳妇first-rate 一流的greenhouse 温室half brother 同母异父兄弟；同父异母兄弟ice-cream 冰激凌lifelike 逼真的light year 光年salesperson 售货员；推销员self-centered 以自己为中心的，自私的threefold 三倍overuse 过度使用stone-still 石头似的一动不动worldwide全世界范围的；在全世界范围的StructureComprehensive Exercises I.Cloze(A)1.concern3.excess5.consequences 7.distinguish9.distinctions(B)1.between3.conserving 5.concern7.owne11.as13.lower2.environment 4.regardless 6.fatal8.urgent10.fundamental2.than4.less6.that8.more10.mankind/man 12.which14.differencesPart III Text B Comprehension Check1.a 3.d 5.d2.b 4.a 6.cLanguage Practice1.nothing but3.get away from.5.Pollute7.assumptions9.has rusted11.dump13.substance15.triumph17.hardens19.Uttered 2.patches 4.spoil6.explosion 8.enables 10.washed up 12.stained 14.destruction 16.pinched 18.For all 20.mankindPart IV Theme-Related Language Learning TasksModel paperMy Thoughts on Environmental ProtectionWhen faced with all kinds of environmental problems,many people seem to believe that we have to choose either economic prosperity or environmental protection.In my view,this is a false choice.I think that economic development and environmental protection can and must coexist.It is true that development has brought with it a number of environmental problems,such as air pollution,water shortages and acid rain,but at the same time modern industry and commerce have greatly improved our lives.Few would wish to live without the benefits of television,automobiles,computers,etc.To stop developing our industry and commerce for the sake of nature alone is pure sentimentalism.Of course,we can't allow economic growth to go on at the expense of the environment,either. When a healthy environment is gone,everything that our life depends on is gone,too.So,we must protect the environment—not for the sake of the environment alone—but for the sake of man.(168words)..31。

She craves knowledge and works hard. However, as a scientist, she could not help noticing all kinds of indications of gender inequality on campus.

It was ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institution of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight.

English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit8 Protecting Our Environment VocabularyI1.1)barking2)evil3)brooding;hatched 4)migrant 5)tragedies6)counterpart7)arecomplaining/co-mplain8)grim9)flocks; fed on10)vegetation11)patches12)Scores of2.1)was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguishedforeign guests.2)the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office.3)wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed thecrowed unnoticed.4)looked deserted.5)were stricken by it.3.1)patches; came into full bloom; were puzzled; mysterious2)throbbed with; sickened; migrant; a chorus3)had crept into; flickered; the starkII.Word Formation1.Compound words age-oldair force daughter-in-law first-rate greenhousehalf brother ice-cream lifelikelight year salespersonself-centered threefold overusestone-still worldwide Chinese meaning古老的空军儿媳妇一流的温室同母异父兄弟；同父异母兄弟冰淇淋逼真的光年售货员；推销员以自己为中心的，自私的三倍过度使用石头似的一动不动全世界范围的；在世界范围内2.1)poverty-stricken people2)heart-breaking news3)newly-built database4)well-fed kids 5)successful spacewalk6)peace-loving people7)need-based scholarships8)color-blind peopleIII.Confusable Words1.lyingidyin5.liey7.lieyy10.liesComprehensive Exercises I.cloze1.(1)spell(2)stricken(3)misfortunes(4)surroundings(5)blossom/bloom(6)migrant (7)deserted(8)silence(9)sickened(10)hatch(11)puzzled(12)in harmony with2.(1)rate(2)publication(3)dangerous(4)banned (5)export(6)profit(7)accept(8)comprehend(9)boundaries(10)ultimatelyII.Translation1.1)This is a prosperous town, but there is still poverty in the midstof wealth and abundance.2)The Brown family was stricken with one misfortune after another,but their children never complained.3)The museum is designed in such a way that it stands in perfectharmony with its surroundings.4)It was a miracle that these flowers did not wither at all in theblazing sun.5)Flocks of sheep feed on the patches of vegetation that rise abovethe winter snow.2.This village was once famous for its beautiful natural surroundings. All the year round, the trees were green and the flowers in bloom. Clear streams flowed out of the hills through a checkerboard of rice fields. Birds sang all day, and deer came and went in a leisurely manner. However, with the coming of DDT and other pesticides, an evil spell seemed to have settled over the village. Misfortunes came one after another. Chicken died suddenly, cattle and sheep were stricken by mysterious maladies, and farmers complained about a sickening feeling that puzzled the village doctor. The village square, once throbbing with life, was now deserted.。

TranslationI consider it worthwhile trying to summarize our experience in learning English. Here I would like to make three relevant points.First, wide reading should be taken as a priority in the learning process, because it is through reading that we get the most language input. Next, learning by heart as many as well-written essays as possible is also very important. On the one hand, rote learning / learning by rote is indeed of little help, but on the other hand, memorization / learning by heart with a good understanding will certainly be of benefit / do good to us. With an enormous store of excellent essays in our heads, we will find it much easier to express ourselves in English. Finally, it is critical that we should put what we have learned into practice. By doing more reading, writing, listening and speaking, we will be able to accomplish the task of perfecting our English.Part III. Text BComprehension Check1. C2. C3. D4. A5. C6.

TranslationThough how the English language came into existence remains a mystery, linguists/language scientists now tend to believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In its over 15 centuries of development, English has borrowed from other languages massively, and such borrowing has greatly enriched its vocabulary. As settlers landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.Unit EightKey to the ExercisesVocabularyI. 1. 1) universal 2) current 3) worked his way4) deny 5) melt 6) came through7) threat 8) combat 9) in the name of10) raged 11) vote 12) concerns13) in part 14) reality 15) urgent2. 1) There has been much debate on the new teaching method invented bya young educationist.2) Most kinds of cancer are fatal without proper treatment.3) John has submitted an application for retirement at the age of 56 onthe grounds of ill health.4) Can you draw a distinction between these two approaches?

They are seldom aware of the fatal consequences of the ruin of nature. In contrast, most educated people bind their own well-being to that of nature and try to preserve nature on the grounds of self-preservation. Though it may be difficult to distinguish a good proposal from a bad one in our current debate on environmental issues, one contemporary commentator has argued that protecting the environment in the name of man should be our guiding principle.。
