新概念英语第二册第四课答案
新概念英语第二册第四课答案Lesson41.d根据课文内容Timisanengineer.Heisworkingforabigfirm...,只有d.Timisworkingforabigfirmasanengineer是对的，其他3个与文章不符合。
2.b根据课文的最后一句Mybrotherhasneverbeenabroadbefor,e,应该选b.其他3个选择都与课文内容不符合。
3.ab.in(在,,里面)不能和动词go连用；c.at（在,,地方）也不能同go连用；d.into(进入,,内)可以与go连用，但是到某个国家不能用gointo；只有a.to同动词go连用goto才能表示到某个地方去，如国家，城市等，所以选a.4.b本句是问“他在那儿呆了多久”。
因为说话时他还在那，所以应该用现在完成时态。
a.ishe是一般现在时；c.hashe中没有过去分词been,不符合语法；d.washe是一般过去时；只有b.hashebeen是现在完成时,所以选b.5.ba.for只有同表示一段时间的词连用时候才能用在完成时中,如forsixmonths,foroneyear等.c.from常与介词to连用表示"从,,到,, "，它很少用于现在完成时；d.by可以表示时间“到,,为止”，常用于过去完成时中和将来完成时中，但是它用在本句意思不对；只有b.since(从,,以来)可以用在完成时态中，选b.才能使句子的时态和意思正确并且合乎逻辑。
6.a本句的意思是“他刚刚买了一辆澳大利亚小汽车”强调买的时间短，用just来表示。
b.alongtimeago(很久以前)与原来句子不符合。
styear(去年)也跟原来句子不符合。
d.sixmonthsago(6个月 前)也不对，句子中没有明确说明；只有a .a shor tt im ea (久前，最近)同just 的意思相近，所以应该选a. 7.c 本句需要用现在完成时，已经给出了助动词has,只需要填上过去分词就可以了。

新概念英语2第四课原文
新概念英语2第四课原文新概念英语2第四课原文Part 1: Introduction新概念英语2第四课是一节让人们学习英文阅读理解技巧的基础课程。
这节课程所涉及的文章内容简单，注重表达方式和语言结构。
在学习这篇文章时，学生们将学会如何在英文阅读中抓住关键信息，并且掌握一些常用的词汇和语法知识。
Part 2: The Original Text以下为本课程原文：An Unknown CustomerIt was half past nine when I discovered that I had forgotten to telephone my client. I went to the phone at once, but the line was busy. I tried again and again, but it was still busy. I was getting worried because the appointment was for ten o'clock. I explained the situation to my secretary and told herthat I was going out to keep the appointment, but that I would be back in about an hour.I left my office and hurried towards the station. It was beginning to rain andI found it difficult to get a taxi. When I eventually reached the station, Ifound that the trains were not running because of a strike. I did not know what to do. If I went back to my office, it would take at least half an hour. If I walked to my client's office, I would be wet through when I got there. As there was nothing else to do, I decided to take the subway.When I got out of the subway, I realized that I did not know the way to my client's office. I had only been there once before and that was a year ago. I looked for a taxi, but there was not one in sight. I had no alternative but to walk. I was not at all sure in which direction to go, but I remembered that there was a large church near my client's office. After walking for about twenty minutes, I saw the church in the distance.I was walking quickly, but I suddenly stopped. I had left my umbrella in the subway! I hesitated for a moment and then decided to go back for it. I knew that it would not take long, and I thought that it would be foolish to get wet through if I did not have to. When I got back to the subway, I found that the umbrella had gone. I went to the lost property office and described my umbrella. The man looked in his book and then disappeared into the back of the office. He returned with a large umbrella which he handed to me. It was twice the size of mine.I left the subway again and set off in the direction of the church. I had not gone very far when the rain stopped, and the sun came out. It was a beautiful day. When I arrived at my client's office, I apologized for being late, but he told me not to worry. 'I've only just arrived myself,' he said. 'I was held up by a phone call.'Part 3: Analysis and Discussion这篇原文讲述了一个人迟到的故事。
新概念英语第二册第4课习题答案
新概念英语第二册第4课习题答案新概念英语第二册课后习题答案详解Lesson 51. c根据课文底第3行but Mr. Scott cannot get a telephone for his new garage 判断，只有c. He cant get one 是对的。
2. a根据课文内容，养鸽子的目的是为了传递信息，只有a. he uses them to send messages 与课文的意思相同，而其他3个选择都没有这种含义。
3. d. his 既能够做所有格形容词又能够做所有格代词,意思是他的,相当于一个名词,本句只有选d. 句子The garage is his 才符合语法.4. ba. that's so(真的，是那样)；c. because(因为，因为)常用来引导原因状语从句； d. for(因为……的缘故，因为)用于提出证据或说明。
本句只有选b. That's why(这就是为什么)才能够说明理由，与前一句构成因果关系，而其他3个选择都不符合逻辑。
5. c本句是一般过去时的疑问句，句中已经给出助动词did,只需要填一个动词原形即可。
只有c. buy 是动词原形，其他3个都不是。
6. d本句是针对距离的远近来提问的。
A. long ago... until 不是说明距离的， long ago从不和until连用；b. long …away 是说明距离的，但应该是long…away from…; c. away…till 中away 不应该和till 连用，不符合习惯用法，从意义上讲不通；只有d. far…from (离……远)是说明距离远近的，符合英语中惯用法，所以选d.7. a本句需要选一个介词用在three minutes 之前，表示所用的时间。
只有a. in合适，而其他3个选择都不能和three minutes 构成表示时间的短语，所以选a.8. b本句需要选表示“另一个”意思的词修饰garage.a. another(adj.) 有另一个的含义，但它前面不能带其他的修饰词，如冠词，所有格形容词等；c. else(adj.其他的，别的，另外)做形容词时应该放在它所修饰的词和代词之后；d. different(adj.不同的)与题目意思不符合；只有b. other(另外的，其他的)能够带其他的修饰成分，如the, his 等，也能够用在名词前面，所以选b.9. c本句需要选出一个与前一句中的动词get 意思相同的词.a.take(拿去,携带)b. receive(收到),d. find(发现,找到)都不是get的同义词.,只有c. obtain(获得),所以选c.10. b本句需要选出与前一句的动词短语send requests for 的意思相同的词或短语.a. asked(问,打听); b. asked for(请求),c.begged(乞讨),d. pleased(喜欢,使……高兴)，只有 b.有请求的意思，意思最接近，所以选b.11. a本句主要想说明紧急信函应如何发出。
