高级英语2loving and hating quiz
高级英语2loving and hating quizLoving and Hating QuizEmotions are a fundamental part of the human experience. We all feel a range of emotions throughout our lives, from joy and excitement to sadness and anger. Two of the most powerful emotions we can experience are love and hate. These two emotions are often thought to be opposites, but they can actually be quite closely linked.Love and hate are both intense feelings that can have a profound impact on our lives. Love can bring us feelings of happiness, contentment, and deep connection with another person. Hate, on the other hand, can lead to feelings of anger, resentment, and a desire to distance ourselves from or even harm the object of our hatred.Despite their differences, love and hate share some common characteristics. Both emotions can be all-consuming, causing us to focus intensely on the object of our feelings. They can also lead toirrational or impulsive behavior, as we become driven by our strong emotions.So, how can we determine whether we are feeling love or hate? One way is to take a "loving and hating quiz" to explore the nuances of these emotions.The first question on the quiz might be: Do you feel a strong physical attraction to the person? If the answer is yes, this could be a sign of love. Love often involves a deep physical and emotional connection with another person.Another question might be: Do you find yourself constantly thinking about the person, even when you're not with them? If the answer is yes, this could be a sign of both love and hate. Obsessive thoughts about someone can be a hallmark of both emotions.The quiz might also ask: Do you feel a sense of joy and happiness when you're with the person? If the answer is yes, this is likely a sign of love. Love is often associated with positive emotions and a sense of well-being.On the other hand, the quiz might ask: Do you feel a strong desire to hurt or harm the person? If the answer is yes, this is a clear sign of hate. Hate involves negative emotions and a desire to cause harm tothe object of our hatred.Another question might be: Do you feel a deep sense of empathy and understanding for the person? If the answer is yes, this could be a sign of love. Love often involves a desire to understand and support the other person.Finally, the quiz might ask: Do you feel a sense of resentment or bitterness towards the person? If the answer is yes, this is a sign of hate. Hate is often associated with negative emotions like resentment and bitterness.By answering these questions, we can begin to understand the nuances of our own feelings towards a particular person or situation. Are we feeling love or hate? Or perhaps a complex mix of both emotions?It's important to note that love and hate are not always mutually exclusive. In fact, it's not uncommon for people to feel a combination of love and hate towards the same person. This can be particularly true in close relationships, where the depth of our feelings can lead to a complex emotional landscape.For example, we might love our partner deeply, but also feel a sense of resentment or anger towards them at times. Or we might hate aco-worker for their irritating behavior, but also feel a begrudging respect for their skills and abilities.In these cases, the loving and hating quiz can help us to unpack the layers of our emotions and understand the nuances of what we're feeling. By recognizing the complexity of our feelings, we can learn to manage them more effectively and find healthier ways of expressing them.Ultimately, the loving and hating quiz is not just about identifying whether we're feeling love or hate. It's about gaining a deeper understanding of ourselves and our emotional experiences. By exploring the complexities of these powerful emotions, we can learn to navigate the ups and downs of our relationships with greater self-awareness and emotional intelligence.So, if you find yourself struggling to understand your feelings towards someone, why not take a loving and hating quiz? You might be surprised by what you discover about yourself and the nature of your emotions.。

高英2的问题的答案
高英2的问题的答案Lesson11.What, according to the writer,makes good conversation?what spoils it?A good conversation does not really start from anywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go. A good conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument is not to convince. When people become serious and talk as if they have something very important to say, when they argue to convince or to win their point, the conversation is spoilt.2. Why does the write r like “bar conversation” so much?The writer likes bar conversation very much because he has spent alot of time in pubs and is used to this kind of conversation. Barfriends are companions, not intimates. They are friends but not intimate enough to be curious about each other's private life and thoughts.3.Does a good conversation need a focal subject?No. Conversation does not need a focus. But when a focal subject appears in the natural flow of conversation, the conversation becomes vivid, lively and more interesting.4. Why did people in the pub talk about Australia?Why did the conversation turn to Norman England? The people talked about Australia because the speaker who introduced the subject mentioned incidentally that it was an Australian who had given her such a definition of "theKing's English. " When the people talked about the resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for "English as it should be spoken", the conversation moved to Norman England because at that time a language barrier existed between the Saxon peasants and the Norman conquerors.5. How does the use of words show class distinction?The Saxon peasants and their Norman conquerors used different wordsfor the same thing. For examples see paragraph 9.6. When was “the King’s English” regarded as a form of racial discrimination in England?The King’s English” was regarded as a form 0f racialdiscrimination during the Norman rule in England about 1154—1399,7.What is the attitude of the wr iter towards “the King’s English”?The writer thinks “the King’s English” is a class representationof reality,1t is worth trying to speak “the King’s English”,but it should not be 1aid down as an edict,and made immune to change from below,The King’s Engl ish is a model arich and instructive one- but it ought not to be an ultimatum,8.What does the writer mean when he says, “the King’s English,like the Anglo-French of the Normans,is a classrepresentation of reality?During the Norman period,the ruling class spoke Anglo— French while the peasants spoke their native Saxonlanguage, Language bears the stamp of the class that uses it,The King’s English today refers to the language used bythe upper,educated class in England,Lesson21 Like other good writers,Orwll is good at showing rather thantelling what details or examples does the writer use to show how poor the natives in Marrakech were.Beyond choice of words and imagery ,Orwell successfully depicts the poverty of the inhabitants of Marrakech by describing objectively the various aspects of their life. His vivid objective descriptions give the reader a clear picture of the poverty of thepeople.Here are five things he describes to show poverty- (a) the burial of the poor inhabitants (b)an Arab Navvy, an employee of the municipality, begging for a piece of bread (c)the miserable lives of the Jews in the ghettoes~ (d)cultivation of the poor soil; (e)the old women carrying firewood.2. What’s the main idea of paragraphs 1-2,How were people buried in Marrakech? What does this show?In these two paragraphs, Orwell tells us how people are buried in Marrakech—the crowd of mourners wailing a chant,corpses wrapped in a piece of rag, carried on a rough wooden bier, friends hacking a shallow hole, throwing the body in it, flinging somedried—up earth over it, no grave stone. All these show a vivid picture of the poverty of the place.3. What was the Jewish quarter like in Marrakech? How were the Jew treated in this country?Under the rulers of the Moorish empire, Jews in Marrakech were only allowed to own land in certain areas. As a result, the streets are very narrow, houses overcrowded and completely without windows. The people have been made to live in such crowded places for so 1ong that they have become used to this kind of overcrowding; since they can expect nothing better, they no longer bother about it. The Jews was an oppressed minority in this colonial country. Their fate was even worse than that of the natives.4. What does the writer describe in Paragraph 10?Every one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a piece of luxury which they could not possibly afford.5. What did the Arabs and poorer Europeans think of the Jews? How does the writer respond to the remarks about the Jews? The Arabs think the Jews only pretend to work as a poor laborer. They are in reality very rich for they control everything. Thewriter knew the Jews were now being condemned by prejudice and ignorance as some poor old women who cou1d not even get themselves a decent meal were condemned and burned for witchcraft.6. What kind of people ,according to Orwell,are partly invisible?Why dose he stress this point? Those who work with their hands are partlyinvisible. It’s only because of this that the starved c ountries of Asia and Africa areaccepted as tourist resorts. The people are not treated as human beings, and it is on this fact that all colonial empires are in reality founded.Lesson 31. Why dose Kennedy say that the world is very difficult now?What differences does he have in mind? Kennedy thinks the world is different now because man has made great progress in science and technology and has not only the power (scientific farming, speedy transportation, mass production, etc. ) to abolish poverty, but also the power(missiles, H_bombs,etc,)to destroy all forms of human life,I agree with him,2. What belief is still at issue around the globe according to him?According to Kennedy,the belief still at issue around the globe is the belief that all man are created equal and God has given them certain inalienable rights which no state or ruler can take away from them,3. Name some of the old allies of the United States whose cultural and spiritual origins the United States share. These old alliesare :Britain,Canada,Australia,New Zealand,and in a wider sense one may also include France,4. Whom does Kennedy consider as friends and whom as foes.Kennedy considers as friends,a)the old allies of the U,S,, such as Britain,Canada,Australia,New Zealand and the westernEuropean countries, b) the countries in South America and,c)many of the developing countries in Asia and Africa that rely on U,S,aid,He considers all socialist countries as foes(all that time the socialist camp headed by the Soviet Union)and those developing countries preparing to take the socialist road,5. Who are those peoples in huts and villages? Why does Kennedy want to help them?The poor people in backward developing countries in Africa and Asia. Because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor,it cannot save the few who are rich.6. What is his stated policy towards Latin America?The stated policy of Kennedy towards Latin America is summed up in the phrase “alliance for progress”,Kennedy pledged totake concrete steps to assist these governments and people incasting off the chains of poverty,7. Sum up the policy Kennedy says he intends to pursue towards those nations whom he considers to be “our adversary”.Kennedy’s policy towards “his adversary” is negoti ation from a position of strength,The U,S,must first be strong enough to deter her adversary, From this strong position of absolute military superiority Kennedy proposes negotiating with the socialist camp(or the Soviet Union)on the following problems,a) arms control,b) cooperation in the fields of science,technology,arts and commerce,c)a new world system,8. What is his message to his fellow citizens? What does he mean by “a long twilight struggle”?He calls on his fellow—Americans to make new sacrifices,to do what his country calls on him to do, He should be preparedto sacrifice everything,even his life if necessary, to defend freedom,to wage constant war against tyranny,poverty,disease and war,The“long twilight struggle”is not a hot war but a constant,persevering fight against tyranny,poverty,disease and the threat of war,Lesson 41. Can you find any evidence to support the view that the writer is satirizing a bright but self-satisfied young man?The whole story is satirizing a smug, self-conceited freshman in a law school. The freshman is made the narrator of the story who goes on smugly boasting and singing praises of himself at every chance he could get. From the very beginning inparagraph 4, he begins to heap on himself all the beautiful words of praise he can think of such as “cool, powerful, precise and penetrating”,etc.At the same time the narrator takes every opportunity to downgrade Petey Bureh. For example, he calls him "dumb", "nothing upstairs ", "'unstable ", "impressionable" and "'a faddist ".And as for Polly Espy, she is "a beautiful dumb girl", who would smarten up under his guidance. It proves to be a big irony for the narrator when the dumb girl goes back to herformer dumb boyfriend Petey Burch,just because the latter has a raccoon coat.2. Why does the narrator consider Petey Burch dumb as an ox?The narrator considers Petey Burch dumb as an ox because he thinks Petey to be unintelligent, an emotional andimpressionable type of person. However, Petey’ s worst fault is that he is a faddist, he is swept up in every new craze that comes along.3. What kind of girl is Polly? Why does the narrator teach Polly Espy logic?Polly is beautiful and gracious. He decided to teach Polly Espy logic because he wanted not only a beautiful wife but also an intelligent one. The narrator wanted a wife who would help to further his career as a lawyer. He found Polly had all the necessary qualities except intelligence. This he decided to remedy by teaching her logic.4. What does Dicto Simpliciter mean? How does the narrator explain it to Polly?The fallacy of "Dicto Simpliciter" is committed by an argument that applies a general rule to a particular case in which some special circumstances ("accident") makes the rule inapplicable. The narrator shows it with the example: Exercise is good.Therefore everybody should exercise." In fact, “Exercise is good” is an unqualified generalization. For instance, if you haveheart disease, exercise is bad, not good. Many people are ordered by their doctors not to exercise. You must qualify thegeneralization. You must say exercise is usually good, or exercise is good for most people.5. What does Post Hoc mean? What example does the narrator give? What is Polly’s first reaction to this argument?The fallacy of Post Hoc mislocates the cause of one phenomenon in another that is only seemingly related. The most commonversion of this fallacy mistakes temporal sequence for causal connection. The narrator gives an example: Let’s take Bill on our picnic. Every time we take him out with us, it rains." She remembers a girl back home--Eula Becker. Every single time wetake her on a picnic it rains.6. What does Contradictory Premises mean? What example does the narrator give? Is Polly confused?Contradictory Premises means the premises of an argument contradict each other.The narrator gives an example ofContradictory Premises: If God can do anything, can He make a stone so heavy that He won't be able to lift it?"Yes, Polly is confused.7. What does Ad Misericordiam mean? What example is given to explain this fallacy? How does Polly respond to theexample? What does it show about her?The fallacy of Ad Misericordiam is committed when the conclusion changes the point that is at issue in the premises, such as, when a trial lawyer, rather than arguing for his client's innocence, tries to move the jury to sympathy for him. The narrator gives the example of a man applying for a job. When the boss asks him what his qualifications are, he replies that he has a wife and six children at home, the wife is a helpless cripple, the children have nothing to eat, no clothes to wear, no shoes on their feet, there are no beds in the house, no coal in the cellar, and winter is coming." Polly is moved to tears by the poverty and misery of the worker. She is a simple, nice girl with the right feminine emotions.8. What is False Analogy? What is Poisoning the Well?False Analogy is committed when the two items don't have strong enough similarities to predict that what happens in one will happen in the other.Poisoning the Well means people speak against the man rather than to the issue. The premises may onlymake a personal attack on a person who holds some thesis, instead of offering grounds showing why what he says is false9. Why does the narrator say, “I was not Pygmalion; I was Frankenstein”? (Para.135)Because he begged Polly's love and was refused. He might get the same result as Frankenstein, who created amonster that destroyed him, not as Pygmalion, who was loved by his own statue of Galatea.Lesson 51. Why were the younger generation of the1920s thought to be wild?The younger generation of the 1920s were thought to be wild because they visited speakeasies, denouced Puritan morality,experimented in armour in the parked sedan on a country road,etc. (See para. 1).2. Was there a revolt of the younger generation at that time? How did it manifest itself?"Yes" and "no Yes" because the business of growing up is always accompanied by a Younger Generation Problem, "no"because all their actions can now be seen in perspective as being something considerably less sensational than thedegeneration of jazz mad youth.3. What does the writer mean by “the pattern of escape”?(para.4)All the activities mentioned above were means to help the young people to escape their more serious responsibilities ofchanging society and most young people went in for these activities. It became a general pattern of behavior.4. How did World War I affect the younger generation?The war whipped up their energies but destroyed their naivete. It made them cynical. They could not adapt themselves intopostwar society so they rebelled and tried to overthrow completelythe gentel standards of behavior.5. In what ways did Greenwich Village set the pattern for the revoltof the younger generation of the 1920s?Intellectuals and non-intellectuals began to imitate the pattern oflife set by those living in Greenwich Village. These people lived a Bohemian and eccentric life. They defied the law and floutedall social conventions. They attacked the war, Babbittry,and "Puritanical" gentility.6. What new philosophy were the young intellectuals trying to preach?These young intellectuals wanted America to become more sensitive toart and culture, less avid for material gain, and lesssusceptible to standardization.7 Why did many young intellectuals of this period immigrate to Europe?They emigrated to Europe because there "they do things better" thanin the United States where people only care for moneyand wealth. Only in Europe will they be able to find remedy fortheir sensitive minds.8 Why was this group of writers called the “lost generation”? were they really lost according to the authors?They were called the "lost generation" by Gertrude Stein becausethey were troubled and worried and had emigrated toEurope. But they were never really lost for they finally returned to America and produced the liveliest, freshest, moststimulating works in America's literay experience.。

Give your reasons. 1. Life on the farm is an eternal battle against nature. There is always the rush to harvest the crops and to get next year' s grain planted before the fall rains start. To get this accomplished the farmer must be out at work by daybreak. Fruits and vegetables have to be gathered before the early frost; hence everyone is bustling around from morning till night. Fall is beautiful when the leaves on the trees change color and then fall off. Winter sends its warming cover over the froze ground. This causes the animals to hunt for something to eat. There is nothing, so the farmer has to feed them. After his day's work is done, the farmer puts on his slippers, reclines on the davenport in front of the fireplace, and spends a peaceful evening reading. Within a few months spring begins with its beautiful flowers and green grass. The cows give more milk so the farmer has more work to do. After the first spring rain, the corn must be cultivated. As summer ap-proaches the farmer begins to worry for fear that the sun will come up and cook the grain before it is fully developed, or maybe a thunderstorm will come up thus causing his hay crop to rot. 2. There are three reasons why I like Japanese food. When I was growing up I never ate Japanese food, since we lived in a part of Texas where there were no Orentals, but now I really like it. One of the best things about Japanese food is that it consists primarily of meat and vegetables, so that it's not atall fattening. However, most Japanese love rice. One of my Japanese friends has at least two bowls of rice at every meal. Another reason for liking Japanese food is that it's always beautifully served, even at lower-priced restaurants. Every dish is a work of art: the chicken yakitori is presented on a gleaming platter crisscrossed with skewers of meat and vegetables, and the shrimp tempura comes on a lovely little bamboo tray. For the American who wants to serve Japanese food like this, these platters and trays may be purchased at a local import store. My final reason for liking Japanese food is its exotic flavor. There is nothing in American or European cuisine quite like the flavor of sashimi (raw fish dipped in soy sauce and horseradish) or shabu-shabu, a meat and vegetable dish that you cook right at your own table by swishing the bite-sized pieces in a pan of seasoned boiling water. Also, from the male point of view, Japanese restaurants are attractive for another reason-- thebeautiful little doll-like waitresses, who bow and smile shyly as they serve your food. With all this, is there any wonder Japanese food appeals to me?Ⅻ.

What can you infer about the author's political attitude from this essay? 2. Do you like Orwell' s style? Give examples to support your XIV. Write a short composition describing objectively the suffering and poverty of pre-liberation China or of any city. Try to maintain an objective tone, but your real feelings should be ev- ident to the reader.习题全解Ⅰ . Marrakech: in west central Morocco, at the Northern foot of the high Atlas, 130 miles south of Casablanca, the chief seaport. The city renowned for leather goods, is one of the principal commercial centers of Morocco. It was founded in 1062 and was the capital of Morocco from then until 1147 and again from 1550 to 1660. It was captured by the French in 1912, when its modern growth began. It has extremely hot summers but mild winters. Yearly rainfall is 9 inches and limited to winter months. Thecity was formerly also called Morocco. Morocco: Located in North Africa, on the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Morocco is the farthest west of all the Arab countries. Rabat is the capital. The estimated population in 1973 was 15,600,000. About 2000 B. C. it was settled by Berber tribes, who have formed the basis of the population ever since. The Arabs invaded Morocco in the 7thcentury, bringing with them Islam. From the end of the 17thcentury until the early 19th century Morocco was almost entirely free from foreign influence. But in 1912, a Franco- Spanish agreement divided Morocco into 4 administrative zones. It gained independence in 1956 and became a constitutional monarchy in 1957. Morocco is a member of the United Nations, the League of Arab States, and the Organization of African Unity. Moroccans are mainly farmers (70%)who try to grow their own food. They often use camels, donkeys and mules to pull their plows. In the south a few tribesmen still, wander from place to place in the desert.Ⅱ. 1. Here are five things he describes to show poverty- (a) the burial of the poor inhabitants (b)an Arab Navvy, an employee of the municipality, begging for a piece of bread (c)the miserable lives of the Jews in the ghettoes~ (d)cultivation of the poor soil; (e) the old women carrying fire wood. 2. See paragraphs 1 and 2. 3. All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies as animals instead of as human be rags. 4. Medieval ghettoes were probably like the Jewish quarters in Marrakech--overcrowded, thousands of people living in a narrow street, houses completely windowless, and the whole area dirty and unhygienic. 5. If Hitler were here, all the Jews would have been massacred. 6. Those who work with their hands are partly invisible. It’sonly because of this that the starved countries of Asia andAfrica are accepted as tourist resorts. The people are not treated as human beings, and it is on this fact that all colonial empires are in reality founded. 7. See paragraph 18. 8. The old woman was surprised because someone was taking notice of her and treating her as a human being. She accepted her status as an old woman, that is to say, as a beast of burden. 9, Every white man thought. "How much longer can we go on kidding these people? How long before they turn their guns in the other direction?" They knew they could not go on fooling these black people any longer. Some day they would rise up in revolt and free themselves.Ⅲ. 1. Yes, it is. In this essay Orwell denounces the evils of colonialism or imperialism by mercilessly exposing the poverty, misery and degradation of the native people in the colonies.2. He manages to show that he is outraged at the spectacle of misery, first, through the appropriate use of words second, through the clever choice of the scenes he describes; third, through the tone in which he describes these scenes and finally, by contrasting the indignation at the cruel handling of the donkey with the unconcern towards the fate of the human beings.3. Because that shows the cruel treatment the donkeys receive evokes a greater feeling of sympathy in the breasts of the white masters than the miserable fate of the people. This contrast have on the reader an effect that the people are not considered nor treated as human beings. 4. Paragraphs 4-7 could as well come after 8-15 as before. Other groups of paragraphs could be rearranged. This indicates that the whole passage is made up of various independent examples or illustrations of the people's poverty and suffering. The central theme--all colonial empires are in reality founded upon this fact--gives unity and cohesion to the whole essay. 5. This essay gives a new insight into imperialism. Yes, he has succeeded in showing that imperialism is an "evil thing". 6. Orwell is good at the appropriate use of simple butforceful words and the clever choice of the scenes he describes. His lucid style and fine attention to significant descriptive details efficiently conveyed to the readers the central idea "all colonial empires are in reality founded upon this fact", the fact that the people are not considered or treated as human beings. IV. 1. The buring-ground is nothing more than a huge piece of wasteland full of mounds of earth looking like a deserted and abandoned piece of land on which a building was going to be putup. 2. All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies like animals (by not treating the peoplein the colonies as human beings). 3. They are born. Then for a few years they work, toil and starve. Finally they die and are buried in graves without a name. 4. Sitting with his legs crossed and using a very old-fashioned lathe, a carpenter quickly gives a round shape to the chair-legs he is making. 5. Immediately from their dark hole-like cells everywhere a great number of Jews rushed out wildly excited. 6. Every one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a piece of luxury which they could not possibly afford. 7. However, a white-skinned European is always quite noticeable. 8. If you take a look at the natural scenery in a tropical region, you see everything but the human beings. 9. No one would think of organizing cheap trips for the tourists to visit the poor slum areas (for these trips42V．Ⅵ．Ⅶ. would not be interesting)． 10．life is very hard for ninety percent of the people．With hard backbreaking toil they can produce a little food on the poor soil． 11．She took it for granted that as an old woman she was the lowest in the community，that。

感顿市安乐阳光实验学校高中英语 Unit 2 Cloning Reading quiz II练习新人教版选修8II. Task-based reading.Cloning humans: right or wrong?1 When a person or animal is cloned, a carbon copy of them is essentially made. There has been a great amount of debate in this area concerning whether cloning humans is right or wrong.2 For example, we could essentially wipe out many diseases. If a person develops cancer, healthy cells could be taken from the clone to cure it. It is even said that this scientific process could be used to replace a child who has died and the science can also be used to prevent animals from becoming extinct, and ev en to bring back some animals that are already extinct.3 And it could violate1the most basic rights of those individuals who happen to be the clones. Many people will clone themselves or loved ones for the sole purpose of having spare body parts, and this is highly unethical2 Nowadays DNA is used so widely to solve crimes. Human cloning could stop that effort, since DNA would no longer be unique to each person.Human cloning, or genetic engineering, is not regulated or banned in any country in the world. 4 When you consider whether you agree with human cloning, you must strongly consider the rights and consequences for the resulting clone.Notes1. violate v. 违背2. unethical adj. 不道德的TaskComplete the passage with the right sentences from the box below.A.

（完整版）高英2的问题的答案
（完整版）⾼英2的问题的答案Lesson11.What, according to the writer,makes good conversation?what spoils it?A good conversation does not really start from anywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go. A good conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argumentis not to convince. When people become serious and talk as if they have something very important to say, whenthey argue to convince or to win their point, the conversation is spoilt.2. Why does the writer like “bar conversation” so much?The writer likes bar conversation very much because he has spent a lot of time in pubs and is usedto this kind of conversation. Bar friends are companions, not intimates. They are friends but not intimateenough to be curious about each other's private life and thoughts.3.Does a good conversation need a focal subject?No. Conversation does not need a focus. But when a focal subject appears in the natural flow of conversation,the conversation becomes vivid, lively and more interesting.4. Why did people in the pub talk about Australia?Why did the conversation turn to Norman England?The people talked about Australia because the speaker who introduced the subject mentioned incidentallythat it was an Australian who had given her such a definition of "the King's English. " When the people talkedabout the resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for "Englishas it should be spoken", the conversation moved to Norman England because at that time a language barrierexisted between the Saxon peasants and the Norman conquerors.5. How does the use of words show class distinction?The Saxon peasants and their Norman conquerors used different words for the same thing. For examples see paragraph 9.6. When was “the King’s English” regarded as a form of racial discrimination in England?The King’s English” was regarded as a form 0f racial discrimination during the Norman rule in Englandabout 1154—1399．7.What is the attitude of the writer towards “the King’s English”?The writer thinks “the King’s English” is a class representation of reality．1t is worth trying to speak“the King’s English”，but it should not be 1aid down as an edict，and made immune to change from below．The King’s English is a model a rich and instructive one- but it ought not to be an ultimatum．8.What does the writer mean when he says, “the King’s English,like the Anglo-French of the Normans,is aclass representation of reality?During the Norman period，the ruling class spoke Anglo— French while the peasants spoke their native Saxon language．Language bears the stamp of the class that uses it．The King’s English today refers to the languageused by the upper，educated class in England．Lesson21 Like other good writers,Orwll is good at showing rather than telling what details or examples does the writer use to showhow poor the natives in Marrakech were.Beyond choice of words and imagery ,Orwell successfully depicts the poverty of the inhabitants of Marrakech by describing objectively the various aspects of their life. His vivid objective descriptions give the reader a clear picture of the poverty of the people.Here are five things he describes to show poverty- (a) the burial of the poor inhabitants (b)an Arab Navvy, an employee of the municipality, begging for a piece of bread (c)the miserable lives of the Jews in the ghettoes~ (d)cultivation of the poor soil; (e) the old women carrying firewood.2. What’s the main idea of paragraphs 1-2？How were people buried in Marrakech? What does this show?In these two paragraphs, Orwell tells us how people are buried in Marrakech—the crowd of mourners wailing a chant, corpses wrapped in a piece of rag, carried on a rough wooden bier, friends hacking a shallow hole, throwing the body in it, flinging some dried—up earth over it, no grave stone. All these show a vivid picture of the poverty of the place.3. What was the Jewish quarter like in Marrakech? How were the Jew treated in this country?Under the rulers of the Moorish empire, Jews in Marrakech were only allowed to own land in certain areas. As a result, the streets are very narrow, houses overcrowded and completely without windows. The people have been made to live in such crowded places for so 1ong that they have become used to this kind of overcrowding; since they can expect nothing better, they no longer bother about it. The Jews was an oppressed minority in this colonial country. Their fate was even worse than that of the natives.4. What does the writer describe in Paragraph 10?Every one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a piece of luxury which they could not possibly afford.5. What did the Arabs and poorer Europeans think of the Jews? How does the writer respond to the remarks about the Jews?The Arabs think the Jews only pretend to work as a poor laborer. They are in reality very rich for they control everything. The writer knew the Jews were now being condemned by prejudice and ignorance as some poor old women who cou1d not even get themselves a decent meal were condemned and burned for witchcraft.6. What kind of people ,according to Orwell,are partly invisible?Why dose he stress this point?Those who work with their hands are partly invisible. It’s only because of this th at the starved countries of Asia and Africa are accepted as tourist resorts. The people are not treated as human beings, and it is on this fact that all colonial empires are in reality founded.Lesson 31. Why dose Kennedy say that the world is very difficult now?What differences does he have in mind?Kennedy thinks the world is different now because man has made great progress in science and technology and has not only the power (scientific farming, speedy transportation, mass production, etc. ) to abolish poverty, but also thepower(missiles，H_bombs，etc．)to destroy all forms of human life．I agree with him．2. What belief is still at issue around the globe according to him?According to Kennedy，the belief still at issue around the globe is the belief that all man are created equal and God has given them certain inalienable rights which no state or ruler can take away from them．3. Name some of the old allies of the United States whose cultural and spiritual origins the United States share. These old allies are :Britain，Canada，Australia，New Zealand．and in a wider sense one may also include France．4. Whom does Kennedy consider as friends and whom as foes.Kennedy considers as friends：a)the old allies of the U．S．， such as Britain，Canada，Australia，New Zealand and the western European countries； b) the countries in South America and；c)many of the developing countries in Asia and Africa that rely on U．S．aid．He considers all socialist countries as foes(all that time the socialist camp headed by the Soviet Union)and those developing countries preparing to take the socialist road．5. Who are those peoples in huts and villages? Why does Kennedy want to help them?The poor people in backward developing countries in Africa and Asia. Because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor,it cannot save the few who are rich.6. What is his stated policy towards Latin America?The stated policy of Kennedy towards Latin America is summed up in the phrase “alliance for progress”．Kennedy pledged to take concrete steps to assist these governments and people in casting off the chains of poverty．7. Sum up the policy Kennedy says he intends to pursue towards those nations whom he considers to be “our adversary”. Kennedy’s policy towards “his adversary” is n egotiation from a position of strength．The U．S．must first be strong enough to deter her adversary． From this strong position of absolute military superiority Kennedy proposes negotiating with the socialist camp(or the Soviet Union)on the following problems：a) arms control，b) cooperation in the fields ofscience，technology，arts and commerce，c)a new world system．8. What is his message to his fellow citizens? What does he mean by “a long twilight struggle”?He calls on his fellow—Americans to make new sacrifices．to do what his country calls on him to do． He should be prepared to sacrifice everything，even his life if necessary， to defend freedom，to wage constant war againsttyranny，poverty，disease and war．The“long twilight struggle”is not a hot war but a consta nt，persevering fight against tyranny，poverty，disease and the threat of war．Lesson 41.Can you find any evidence to support the view that the writer is satirizing a bright but self-satisfied youngman?The whole story is satirizing a smug, self-conceited freshman in a law school. The freshman is made the narrator of the story who goes on smugly boasting and singing praises of himself at every chance he could get. From the very beginning in paragraph 4, he begins to heap on himself all the beautiful words of praise he can think of such as “cool, powerful, precise and penetrating”,etc.At the same time the narrator takes every opportunity to downgrade Petey Bureh. For example, he calls him "dumb", "nothing upstairs ", "'unstable ", "impressionable" and "'a faddist ".And as for Polly Espy, she is "a beautiful dumb girl", who would smarten up under his guidance. It proves to be a big irony for the narrator when the dumb girl goes back to her former dumb boyfriend Petey Burch,just because the latter has a raccoon coat.2.Why does the narrator consider Petey Burch dumb as an ox?The narrator considers Petey Burch dumb as an ox because he thinks Petey to be unintelligent, an emotional and impressionable type of person. However, Petey’ s worst fault is that he is a faddi st, he is swept up in every new craze that comes along.3.What kind of girl is Polly? Why does the narrator teach Polly Espy logic?Polly is beautiful and gracious. He decided to teach Polly Espy logic because he wanted not only a beautiful wife but also an intelligent one. The narrator wanted a wife who would help to further his career as a lawyer. He found Polly had all the necessary qualities except intelligence. This he decided to remedy by teaching her logic.4.What does Dicto Simpliciter mean? How does the narrator explain it to Polly?The fallacy of "Dicto Simpliciter" is committed by an argument that applies a general rule to a particular case in which some special circumstances ("accident") makes the rule inapplicable. The narrator shows it with the example: Exercise is good. Therefore everybody should exercise." In fact, “Exercise is good” is an unqualified generalization. For instance, if you have heart disease, exercise is bad, not good. Many people are ordered by their doctors not to exercise. You must qualify the generalization. You must say exercise is usually good, or exercise is good for most people.5.What does Post Hoc mean? What example does the narrator give? What is Polly’s first reaction to this argument? The fallacy of Post Hoc mislocates the cause of one phenomenon in another that is only seemingly related. The most common version of this fallacy mistakes temporal sequence for causal connection. The narrator gives an example: Let’s take Bill on our picnic. Every time we take him out with us, it rains." She remembers a girl back home--Eula Becker. Every single time we take her on a picnic it rains.6.What does Contradictory Premises mean? What example does the narrator give? Is Polly confused? Contradictory Premises means the premises of an argument contradict each other.The narrator gives an example of Contradictory Premises: If God can do anything, can He make a stone so heavy that He won't be able to lift it?" Yes, Polly is confused.7.What does Ad Misericordiam mean? What example is given to explain this fallacy? How does Polly respond tothe example? What does it show about her?The fallacy of Ad Misericordiam is committed when the conclusion changes the point that is at issue in the premises, such as, when a trial lawyer, rather than arguing for his client's innocence, tries to move the jury to sympathy for him. The narrator gives the example of a man applying for a job. When the boss asks him what his qualifications are, he replies that he has a wife and six children at home, the wife is a helpless cripple, the children have nothing to eat, no clothes to wear, no shoes on their feet, there are no beds in the house, no coal in the cellar, and winter is coming." Polly is moved to tears by the poverty and misery of the worker. She is a simple, nice girl with the right feminine emotions.8.What is False Analogy? What is Poisoning the Well?False Analogy is committed when the two items don't have strong enough similarities to predict that what happens in one will happen in the other.Poisoning the Well means people speak against the man rather than to the issue. The premises may only make a personal attack on a person who holds some thesis, instead of offering grounds showing why what he says is false9.Why does the narrator say, “I was not Pygmalion; I was Frankenstein”? (Para.135)Because he begged Polly's love and was refused. He might get the same result as Frankenstein, who created a monster that destroyed him, not as Pygmalion, who was loved by his own statue of Galatea.Lesson 51.Why were the younger generation of the1920s thought to be wild?The younger generation of the 1920s were thought to be wild because they visited speakeasies, denouced Puritan morality, experimented in armour in the parked sedan on a country road,etc. (See para. 1).2.Was there a revolt of the younger generation at that time? How did it manifest itself?"Yes" and "no Yes" because the business of growing up is always accompanied by a Younger Generation Problem, "no" because all their actions can now be seen in perspective as being something considerably less sensational than the degeneration of jazz mad youth.3.What does the writer mean by “the pattern of escape”?(para.4)All the activities mentioned above were means to help the young people to escape their more serious responsibilities of changing society and most young people went in for these activities. It became a general pattern of behavior.4.How did World War I affect the younger generation?The war whipped up their energies but destroyed their naivete. It made them cynical. They could not adapt themselves into postwar society so they rebelled and tried to overthrow completely the gentel standards of behavior.5.In what ways did Greenwich Village set the pattern for the revolt of the younger generation of the 1920s?Intellectuals and non-intellectuals began to imitate the pattern of life set by those living in Greenwich Village.These people lived a Bohemian and eccentric life. They defied the law and flouted all social conventions. They attacked the war, Babbittry, and "Puritanical" gentility.6.What new philosophy were the young intellectuals trying to preach?These young intellectuals wanted America to become more sensitive to art and culture, less avid for material gain, and less susceptible to standardization.7 Why did many young intellectuals of this period immigrate to Europe?They emigrated to Europe because there "they do things better" than in the United States where people only care for money and wealth. Only in Europe will they be able to find remedy for their sensitive minds.8Why was this group of writers called the “lost generation”? were they really lost according to the authors?They were called the "lost generation" by Gertrude Stein because they were troubled and worried and had emigrated to Europe. But they were never really lost for they finally returned to America and produced the liveliest, freshest, most stimulating works in America's literay experience.。
