People’s concern for global warmingis based on fear of low-lying nations being awash in seawater, frequent hurricanes and change of rain and drought patterns.2.Refer to Paragraph3. Humans are responsible for the rising concentration of greenhouse gasesfor the emission of carbon dioxide from their power plants and cars, the decomposition of their trash, their breeding of cattle and use of fertilizers.3.The concentration of greenhouse gases traps excessive heat and prevents it leaving the Earth,hence the global warming.4.The change of climate would bring disastrous consequences to humans. An increase in heatand rain would cause more diseases in equatorial regions. More intense rains would bring about severe flooding and more deaths. And even moderate rise in sea level could threaten the low-lying islands and nations. Besides, high temperature could lead to more cases of deaths from heart disease and respiratory problems.5. A number of actions should be taken. In the short term, we should reduce the emission ofheat-trapping gases and mitigate the impact of global warming through careful planning. In the long term, we should adopt policies that encourage the use of alternative and clean fuels, and stop deforestations.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences.1.Global warming will probably be the most serious threat to our Earth, if we do not take intoaccount of some other possible disasters, such as another world war, collision of our Earth with some small orbiting planet, or spread of incurable diseases.2.In terms of human health, it is those who live in the poorer countries who will suffer most,because they do not have money to protect themselves as climate changes.VocabularyI.

全新版大学英语综合教程二unit1-unit8选词填空cloze答案
全新版大学英语综合教程二unit1-unit8选词填空cloze答案Unit 1Is there a contrast between learning styles in China and the West? While we should be careful to avoid exaggerating the differences, they do appear to exist. In China, for example, greater priority is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, on the other hand, place more emphasis on promoting creativity in young children, leaving them to pick up skills later. American parents tend to avoid rushing in to assist their children as they try to accomplish a task, thinking in better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Such an approach can, on occasion, be mistaken for neglecting one’s parental duties by those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantages, and it may well be worthwhile to search for a superior method that would combine the best of both worlds.Unit2If you visited Karl Green, you might not at first sight think he was well-off . Most of what he owns is rather dated and he will readily admit to falling into the bottom income bracket . Yet he would deny that he is poor, for he feels that his life is full of less tangible riches . Rather than devoting himself to the pursuit of money before all else, he cherishes the pleasures of friendship. His lack of interest in possessions does, however, sometimes make him feel out of place in today’s materialistic society and he still clearly feels hurt when he remembers the abrupt departure of a girlfriend who did not share his views. Yet there are many who admire him, particularly for his focus on helping the poor through collecting donations each Christmas. Unit3Our dad is typical of the older generation. You can certainly say he gives our welfare his constant attention. Sometimes, however, we wish he wouldn’t try quite so hard. To be frank, he seems to have a talent for embarrassing us by making dumb remarks. He should know better than that,but he never seems to learn and just goes on making the same old mistakes repeatedly . The result is that we live in constant dread of his well-intentioned interference in our affairs. Mom is no help, as you can bet she will always see things from his point of view rather than from ours. Overall, though, he’s awonderful dad and I assure you I wouldn’t trade him for anyone in the world.Unit 4With the Internet we can escape into another world at the click of a button. For many this virtual world is a dream come true. They find they can do away with the daily routines and stay inside for weeks and everything from home. Other, however, may find the virtual world a nightmare . It is especially annoying when the Internet connection is slow and everything crawls at a snail’s space. The computer does not take in your messages nor does it spit out data . Still others, who get the virtual world, may find communicating face-to-face too emotional and unbearable. At times they feel this so strongly that they have to flee from real human contact, hurrying to get back on line to the comfort and safety of a less demanding world.Unit5The following is how Michael Stone looks back on that day's competition.In my mind's eye I can see every detail of that pole vault. The bar was set at a new height.As I heard the crowd groan,I knew my competitor had failed to clear it.It was time for my mind with anxiety.I was tense and my palm began to sweat . I tried to shake off the tension, but was unsuccessful. At the critical moment, I remembered my mothe's advice to breathe deeply and brought myself under control . Then I was off , up and away, Soaring like an eahle , just as I did in my recurring dreams. The thump of my landing brought me back to earth. I had done it! This was no mere tantasy, but the real thing. All the sweat and hard work had paid off. Friends were rushing to congratulate me and I was surrounded by numerous clicking cameras of the media.Unit6Isn’t it strange how chance can play such a large part in what we become? If Carolyn hadn’t stumbled into that engineering course, she would never have become an engineer. At the time she did not know the first thing about anything mechanical. But when it comes to hard work, she is no stacker. She threw herself into study and joined in the project to make a hybrid vehicle. She admits that she often found studying math difficult, but she gritted her teeth and got on with it, working on the premise that math is a hard subject for most people. Girls, she argues, are no more at a disadvantage in this respect than boys. Nonetheless, she still had moments of panic when she found making progress particularly difficult.Carolyn concludes that we should not allow cultural expectations tolimit our horizons, for we are far more flexible in what we can achieve than they would imply.Unit7A fascinating feature of the English language is its tolerance of new words and phrases, either borrowed or invented.There exists no authority to examine each new addition to the language, to determine what is acceptable and to ban what is not. True, some people do think that borrowed words corrupt the language. They think the language is running out of control. At one time, influenced by the intellectual elite in France, some people came up with the idea of establishing an academy to maintain the purity of the English language. Fortunately the idea never took hold. Massive borrowing from a rich, variety of sources was, as a result, left free to greatly enrich the language.Unit8Rachel Carson provides a vivid description of an American town that seemed to be living under a wicked spell (1) .The town was stricken(2) by a whole series of misfortunes(3).Its surroundings(4),once full of apple blossom(5)and the song of migrant(6)birds,had changed dramatically. The bird had deserted(7) the area,leaving the countryside in silence(8). Farm animals sickened(9)and died. Chicks ceased to hatch(10) The people naturally puzzled(11) over the cause of their troubles . Some felt that perhaps they had no one to blame but themselves for ceasing to live in harmony with (12) nature.。

新世纪大学英语(第二版)综合课程2unit1课文翻译和课后答案
陌生人的善意迈克·麦金太尔一年夏天,我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。
在沙漠深处,我碰到一个年轻人站在路旁。
他一只手打出拇指向外的手势,另一只手里拿着一个汽油罐。
我直接从他身边开过去了。
别人会停下来的,我想。
再说,那汽油罐只是个让车停下、好抢劫司机的幌子而已。
在这个国家,曾有那么一段时间,你要是对需要帮助的人置之不理,大家会认为你是混蛋,而如今你要是帮了你就是笨蛋。
到处潜伏着犯罪团伙、吸毒上瘾者、杀人犯、强奸犯、盗窃犯还有劫车犯,为什么要冒险呢“我不想卷进去”已经成为全国性的信条。
2 开过了几个州以后,我还在想着那个想搭便车的人。
把他一个人留在沙漠中倒并没有让我有多么不安。
让我不安的是,我多么轻易地就做出了这个决定。
我甚至根本没把脚从油门上抬起来。
我很想知道,现在还有人会停车吗3 我想到我此行的目的地——新奥尔良。
那里是田纳西·威廉姆斯的剧作《欲望号街车》的背景地。
我回想起布兰奇·杜波依斯的名句:“我总是依赖陌生人的善意。
”4 陌生人的善意。
听起来好怪。
如今这年头还有谁能指望陌生人的善意吗5 要验证这一点,一个办法是一个人从东海岸旅行到西海岸,不带一分钱,完全依靠美国同胞的善意。
他会发现一个什么样的美国谁会给他饭吃、让他歇脚、捎他一程呢6 这个念头激起了我的好奇心。
但谁会这么不切实际、愿意去尝试这样一次旅行呢好吧,我想,那不如我来试试7 满37岁那个星期,我意识到我这辈子还从没冒过什么险呢。
所以我决定来个观念的跨越,美洲大陆那么宽——从太平洋去大西洋,不带一分钱。
要是有人给我钱,我会拒绝。
我只接受搭顺风车、提供食物和让我歇脚的帮助。
这将是穿越这片金钱至上的土地上一次无钱的旅行。
我的最终目的地是北卡罗来纳州的“恐惧角”(即开普菲尔),它象征着我沿途必须克服的所有恐惧。
8 1994年9月6日,我早早起床,背起一个50磅重的包,朝金门桥走去。
我从背包里拿出一个牌子,向过路的车辆展示我的目的地:“美利坚”。

English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passedonto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing.

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 Vocabulary1.1) barking 5) tragedies 8) grim2) evil 6) counterpart 9) flocks; fed on3) brooding; 7) are 10) vegetationhatched complaining/co- 11) patches4) migrant mplain 12) 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 the crowed 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 stark2.II.

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.

全新版大学英语综合教程二unit1-unit8选词填空cloze答案
全新版大学英语综合教程二unit1-unit8选词填空cloze答案Unit 1Is there a contrast between learning styles in China and the West? While we should be careful to avoid exaggerating the differences, they do appear to exist. In China, for example, greater priority is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, on the other hand, place more emphasis on promoting creativity in young children, leaving them to pick up skills later. American parents tend to avoid rushing in to assist their children as they try to accomplish a task, thinking in better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Such an approach can, on occasion, be mistaken for neglecting one’s parental duties by those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantages, and it may well be worthwhile to search for a superior method that would combine the best of both worlds.Unit2If you visited Karl Green, you might not at first sight think he was well-off . Most of what he owns is rather dated and he will readily admit to falling into the bottom income bracket . Yet he would deny that he is poor, for he feels that his life is full of less tangible riches . Rather than devoting himself to the pursuit of money before all else, he cherishes the pleasures of friendship. His lack of interest in possessions does, however, sometimes make him feel out of place in today’s materialistic society and he still clearly feels hurt when he remembers the abrupt departure of a girlfriend who did not share his views. Yet there are many who admire him, particularly for his focus on helping the poor through collecting donations each Christmas. Unit3Our dad is typical of the older generation. You can certainly say he gives our welfare his constant attention. Sometimes, however, we wish he wouldn’t try quite so hard. To be frank, he seems to have a talent for embarrassing us by making dumb remarks. He should know better than that,but he never seems to learn and just goes on making the same old mistakes repeatedly . The result is that we live in constant dread of his well-intentioned interference in our affairs. Mom is no help, as you can bet she will always see things from his point of view rather than from ours. Overall, though, he’s awonderful dad and I assure you I wouldn’t trade him for anyone in the world.Unit 4With the Internet we can escape into another world at the click of a button. For many this virtual world is a dream come true. They find they can do away with the daily routines and stay inside for weeks and everything from home. Other, however, may find the virtual world a nightmare . It is especially annoying when the Internet connection is slow and everything crawls at a snail’s space. The computer does not take in your messages nor does it spit out data . Still others, who get the virtual world, may find communicating face-to-face too emotional and unbearable. At times they feel this so strongly that they have to flee from real human contact, hurrying to get back on line to the comfort and safety of a less demanding world.Unit5The following is how Michael Stone looks back on that day's competition.In my mind's eye I can see every detail of that pole vault. The bar was set at a new height.As I heard the crowd groan,I knew my competitor had failed to clear it.It was time for my mind with anxiety.I was tense and my palm began to sweat . I tried to shake off the tension, but was unsuccessful. At the critical moment, I remembered my mothe's advice to breathe deeply and brought myself under control . Then I was off , up and away, Soaring like an eahle , just as I did in my recurring dreams. The thump of my landing brought me back to earth. I had done it! This was no mere tantasy, but the real thing. All the sweat and hard work had paid off. Friends were rushing to congratulate me and I was surrounded by numerous clicking cameras of the media.Unit6Isn’t it strange how chance can play such a large part in what we become? If Carolyn hadn’t stumbled into that engineering course, she would never have become an engineer. At the time she did not know the first thing about anything mechanical. But when it comes to hard work, she is no stacker. She threw herself into study and joined in the project to make a hybrid vehicle. She admits that she often found studying math difficult, but she gritted her teeth and got on with it, working on the premise that math is a hard subject for most people. Girls, she argues, are no more at a disadvantage in this respect than boys. Nonetheless, she still had moments of panic when she found making progress particularly difficult.Carolyn concludes that we should not allow cultural expectations tolimit our horizons, for we are far more flexible in what we can achieve than they would imply.Unit7A fascinating feature of the English language is its tolerance of new words and phrases, either borrowed or invented.There exists no authority to examine each new addition to the language, to determine what is acceptable and to ban what is not. True, some people do think that borrowed words corrupt the language. They think the language is running out of control. At one time, influenced by the intellectual elite in France, some people came up with the idea of establishing an academy to maintain the purity of the English language. Fortunately the idea never took hold. Massive borrowing from a rich, variety of sources was, as a result, left free to greatly enrich the language.Unit8Rachel Carson provides a vivid description of an American town that seemed to be living under a wicked spell (1) .The town was stricken(2) by a whole series of misfortunes(3).Its surroundings(4),once full of apple blossom(5)and the song of migrant(6)birds,had changed dramatically. The bird had deserted(7) the area,leaving the countryside in silence(8). Farm animals sickened(9)and died. Chicks ceased to hatch(10) The people naturally puzzled(11) over the cause of their troubles . Some felt that perhaps they had no one to blame but themselves for ceasing to live in harmony with (12) nature.。

新世纪商务英语本科生商务英语第二版阅读教程2:叶兴国unit8答案
新世纪商务英语第二版阅读教程2:叶兴国unit8答案Unit8Part I Background Information过去人们常说:“如果你制造出一种质量更好的捕鼠器,市场就会把路铺到你家大门口。
”现在这句话不一定正确。
实际上,最好的产品并不一定能够赢得最大的市场份额。
例如,在个人电脑领域,尽管草果操作系统比微软操作系统更加稳定,使用起来也更加容易,但它却在与微软的市场之争中败下阵来。
营销战略能够使大致相同的产品和服务的市场表现大相径庭。
美国营销协会认为营销是创造、传播、递送和交换对于顾客、客户、商业伙伴乃至整个社会具有价值的待售品的活动、惯例和过程。
“市场营销”这个词的原本意义是指到市场去,比如去购物或者去卖货物、服务。
市场营销实务一般被认为是一种创造性产业,它包括广告和销售,也涉及通过市场调查预见消费者的未来需求。
广告是沟通的一种形式,这种沟通的目的就是要劝说潜在的消费者更多地购买或者消费某一特定品牌的产品或者服务。
销售是-项涉及卖出产品或服务、换回钞票或其他补偿物的活动,它是一种实现商业活动的行动。
市场营销受许多社会科学的影响,特别受到心理学社会学和经济学的影响。
20世纪60年代,哈佛商学院的杰罗姆.麦卡锡教授指出,营销组合包含四个因素(4Ps):产品(product)、价格(price)、渠道(place)和推销(promotion)。
产品因素涉及商品或服务的规格以及该产品或服务如何满足最终用户的需求,其范围通常包括担保书、保证书和技术支持等。
价格是指确定一件产品的价格,包括打折的过程。
商品的价格不应该是随意制定的,它只是用来交换该产品或服务的东西。
渠道是指如何使产品到达消费者手中。
推销是指推销产品、品牌或者公司的各种方法,具体包括广告、促销、宣传、直销、制定品牌等。
值得-提的是,品牌对于营销来说至关重要。
品牌是一个能够把产品和服务与对其形成竞争的产品和服务区别开来的名称、图案、标志或者其他特征,它代表了消费者对于一个企业、产品或服务的经验。
