Unit 4TrainA train is a connected series of vehicles for rail transport that move along a track to transport cargo or passengers from one place to another. The track usually consists of two rails, but might also be a monorail or maglev guideway.Propulsion for the train is provided by a separate locomotive. Most modern trains are powered by diesel locomotives, although historically (from the early 19th century to the mid-20th century) the steam locomotive was the dominant form of locomotive power.There are various types of train designed for particular purposes. A train can consist of one or more locomotives and attached railroad cars.A passenger train may consist of one or several locomotives, and one or more coaches. Passenger trains travel between stations, at which passengers may board and disembark. In most cases, passenger trains operate on a fixed schedule and have superior track occupancy rights over freight trains.Oversight of a passenger train is the responsibility of the conductor. He or she is usually assisted by other crew members, such as service attendants or porters. During the heyday of North American passenger rail travel, long distance trains carried two conductors: the aforementioned train conductor, and a Pullman conductor, the latter being in charge of sleeping car personnel.Some passenger trains, both long distance and short distanced, may use bi-level (double-decker) cars to carry more passengers per train. Car design and the general safety of passenger trains have dramatically evolved over time, making travel by rail remarkably safe.Freight trains comprise wagons , though some parcel and mail trains are more like passenger trains. Much of the world's freight is transported by train, and in the United States the rail system is used more for transporting freight than passengers. Under the right circumstances, transporting freight by train is highly economic, and also more energy efficient than transporting freight byroad. Rail freight is most economic when freight is being carried in bulk and over long distances, but is less suited to short distances and small loads.译文列车列车是铁路运输中连接起来的一组车辆,它们在轨道上行驶,从一地向另一地运输旅客或货物。

The internet has strengthened the links betweenChinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions.

Unit 4学英语既有乐趣又有回报文学的研究——包含对哲学、宗教、历史事件的发展和观念由来的研究,不仅是文明的,并且有教化作用,而且是流行的和实际的。

在所有从文理学院毕业并获得学士学位的人中,有六分之一的主修英语。

让人惊异的是可,这些毕业生能胜任范围相当广泛的工作。

他们的经验表明,这种广泛流行的偏见是错误的,即英语专业的学生只能从事新闻或教学工作:事实上,主修英语的学生也为未来从事法律、医学、商业和公职等职业做了相当好的准备。

有人时常劝告期望上法学院或医学院的大学生要学习与他们的择业有直接联系的严格指定的课程。

有人还建议未来法学院的学生应该选修政治、历史、会计、商业管理,甚至人体解刨学、婚姻和家庭生活等课程。

未来医学院的学生被引导去学习多种理科课程,实际上,这些课程比他们考入医学院所需要的理科课程要多得多。

令人惊讶的是,许多法学院和医学院却指出,如此专门化的准备不但没有必要,而且并不可取。

没有什么“法律预科”课程:上法学院和从事法律行业的最好的准备是培养学生能够进行批判性的思考;能够进行清晰的合乎逻辑的自我表达,能够对他人的动机、行动和思想进行敏锐的分析。

这些技能也正是英语专业要教给学生掌握的技能。

此外,要进入法学院就读,通常需要具有合格院校颁发的学士学位,还需要拿到最低限度的各课平均积分点,并和在法学院录取考试中取得一个通得过的分数。

这项测试包括三个部分:首先是测试阅读理解、图形分类和书面材料评估等能力。

测试的第二部分是考核对英语语法和词汇用法的掌握能力,组织书面材料的能力和文字编辑的能力。

第三个部分是检验学生的文学、艺术、音乐、自然科学和社会科学的一般知识。

显而易见,主修英语的学生参加法学院的录取考试回得心应手。

至于医学院,入学要求的一条知识修满32个学时的理科课程。

这一要求对主修英语的学生来说肯定不成问题。

另外,许多医学院校要求学生必须在医学院入学考试中取得规定的最低分,这一测试对全面发展的文科学生来说有十分有利。

Difficult Sentences1) (LL6~9) In a society where slavery in the strict sense has beenabolished, whether what a man does has social value depends onwhether he is paid money to do it, but a labourer today can rightly becalled a wage slave.Why does the author call a labourer a wage slave?(=The author calls a labourer a wage slave because a labou rer’s social value depends on the money he is paid. To a labourer, the job that society offers him is of no interest to him. He is compelled to take it because he has to earn a living and support his family. )What is the implied meaning of this sentence?(=Just like slaves in the past, labourers are compelled to do jobs that they don’t really enjoy. As a result, the only difference between a labourer and a slave is that one is paid while the other is not. )2) (LL17~20) A man is a worker if he is personally interested in the job whichsociety pays him to do; what from the point of view of society isnecessary labour is from his own point of view voluntary play.What does “voluntary play” mean in this context?(=“Voluntary play” in the context means the job one enjoys doing. )3) (LL22~25) The difference does not, for example, coincide with the differencebetween a manual and a mental job;a gardener or a cobbler may be aworker, a bank clerk a labourer.What can we infer from this sentence?(=According to the author, whether one is a worker or a labourer does not depend on the kind of job he or she does but on whether he or she really enjoys doing the job. Therefore, a gardener or a cobbler may be a worker if he is interested in his job, while a bank clerk is a labourer if he is bored with his job.)4) (LL28~30) He is therefore more likely to take too little leisure than too much;workers die of heart attacks and forget their wives’ birthdays.Why is a worker likely to take too little leisure?(=Because to a worker, leisure means simply the time he needs to relax and rest in order to work more efficiently.)Translate this sentence into Chinese.(=所以,他可能只有少量的闲暇,而不会有大量的空闲。

I have always held my teachers in respect and I hope I would be respected as a teacher, too, in the future.I think teaching is an ideal career for me.

Here's an even more serious story. Another friend's daughter, Kelly, was studying modern languages at university, and spent a year overseas. At some point in the year, there was a change of procedure, and Kelly's bank failed to allow her to access her funds in her current account, because the request was from outside the UK. Naturally, there was a lengthy correspondence while she tried to sort this out, so the delay in being able to access her funds meant that she went into the red, and her debts began to rise more than £200 above the agreed limit on her overdraft of £1,500.

How did she do this? How could this be? I knew I earned more than her, my car was newer, and my house was smarter. How did she get to appear more flash than me? Now, I had a job which was as steady as any job was in those days – that's to say, not very, but you know, no complaints. I had a mortgage on my house, but then who didn't? I paid off all my credit debt at the end of the month, so although technically, I was in debt to the credit card company, it was only for a matter of a few weeks. So I assumed I had a good credit rating.

Unit 5Text comprehensionI. Decide which of the following best states the autho r’s purpose of writing.C.II. Judge. according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1. F. Refer to Paragraphs 1 and2.Though it is true that what interested the woman was the all-sided description of the friendship between the two characters, the plot of the movie was far from exciting; it was in many ways a slight movie..2. T. Refer to Paragraph3.3. F. Refer to Paragraph4. The shift was not simply from men to women. It in depth represented a shift from one type of friendship to another. In other words, female friendship depicted in movies nowadays was distinct in nature from male friendship portrayed in earlier movies.4. T. Refer to Paragraph 8.5. T. Refer to Paragraph 16.6. F. Refer to Paragraph 18. The author only says that in the double standard of friendship the female version was becoming accepted as the general idea for once. III. Answer the following questions.1. She thought it was a trivial movie, particularly with regard to its dull plot. At the same time she found it gentle and affecting on the ground that the movie described in detail the characteristics of the friendship between two women.2. Because in the past men were exclusive images for friendship in movies and they were presented as the only inheritor of a primitive capacity for friendship. Women, on the other hand, were portrayed choosing each other as companions just as they picked berries with little genuine friendship involved. Nowadays, the female friendship was becoming a fashionable theme of movies to take the place of the make friendship.3. The male friendship, i.e. the bonding relationship between buddies, is established on the need for co-operation in the activities that men are engaged in or in the adverse situations they are confronted with. In other words, without the need to do things together, there would probably be no buddies at all. In contrast, the female friendship borders on love, the need for mutual emotional support. Women friendsdesire to be together as a result of spiritual attachment, regardless of whether they are involved in the same act or not.4. Men become buddies only when they have undergone together competitive, adverse or dangerous situations like sports games and wars, but women are not real friends unless they have exchanged three loathsome secrets. This fact shows again that the male friendship is activity-oriented while the female friendship isemotion-rooted.5. It is intended to illustrate that female friends exchange their confidences.6. Because what men described as friendship was nothing of the kind at all to the woman. As she saw it, when two women see each other only once a year, they cannot count as best friends; when two women do not call each other long distance without a real reason, they don’t count as intimates; and when two women don’t have dinner together alone without a company of their spouses, they don’t count as chums. But in such situations, men still describe them as bosom friends.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences taken form the text.1. Slowly, the movie gave a panoramic picture of friendship…2. This was not simply a shift from one fashion to another, but a truthful description of friendship.3. The two sides must have been mortally wounded in the OK Corral gunfight.4. Buddies hold on together in face of adversity; friends cling tightly to each other for emotional support.Structural analysis of the textWe can summarize the author’s viewpoint with the following sentence: A buddy is a fine life-companion but a friend is that part of the race with which you can be human.The more specific differences between a buddy and a friend are given below:1.Buddies bonded, but friends loved.2.Buddies faced adversity together, but friends faced each other.3.Buddies seemed to “do” things together; friends simply “were” together. Vocabulary exercisesI. Replace the underlined words in the sentences with appropriate forms of words chosen from the text.1. cosmic2. bonding3. primal4. adversity5. palpably6. loathsomeII. Fill in the blank with the appropriate forms of the given words.1. fragility2. drastic3. replacement4. Trendy5. portrayal6.inheritance7.confidence8. embarrassing III . Fill in the blank in each sentence with an appropriate phrasal verb or collocation taken from the text .1. hang together2. pick on3. soldiering4. showing…off5. will make a difference6. binges7. intimacy8. resiliencyIV.

Note the parts omitted in the following sentences.Ellipsis is commonly employed in comparative constructions. What can be omitted includes the subject, the predicate verb, the complement and the adverb of the second clause.II. Improve the following sentences.1.The students of Class One are more hardworking than those of Class Two.2.He has sat at the table for several hours and drunk considerably more winethan is good for his health.3.The greater the achievements(are), the more modest we should be.4.It is said that British parents take better care of the animals than of theirchildren.5.Tom likes pop music more than his eighteen-year-old daughter does.6.Mary would do it much more quickly than I would.III.

Unit 1 Nine to FiveActive Reading 1 Looking for a job after university?First, Get off the Sofa大学毕业找工作的第一要义:别躺在沙发上做梦今年夏天,超过65 万的大学生毕业离校,其中有许多人根本不知道怎么找工作。

在当今金融危机的背景下,做父母的该如何激励他们?1 七月,你看着21 岁英俊的儿子穿上学士袍,戴上四方帽,骄傲地握着优等学士学位证书,拍毕业照。

这时,记忆中每年支付几千英镑,好让儿子吃好、能参加奇特聚会的印象开始消退。

总算熬到头了。

2 等到暑假快要结束,全国各地的学生正在为新学期做准备的时候,你发现大学毕业的儿子还歪躺在沙发上看电视。

他只是偶尔走开去发短信,浏览社交网站Facebook,去酒吧喝酒。

这位前“千禧一代”的后裔一夜之间变成了哼哼一代的成员。

他能找到工作吗?3 这就是成千上万家庭所面临的景象:今年夏天,超过65 万大学生毕业,在当今金融危机的背景下他们中的大多数人不知道自己下一步该做什么。

父母只会唠叨,而儿女们则毫无缘由地变成了叛逆者,他们知道自己该找份工作,但却不知道如何去找。

4 来自米德尔塞克斯郡的杰克·古德温今年夏天从诺丁汉大学政治学系毕业,获得二级一等荣誉学士学位。

他走进大学就业服务中心,又径直走了出来,因为他看见很多人在那里排长队。

跟他一起住的另外5 个男孩也都跟他一样,进去又出来了。

找工作的压力不大,虽然他所认识的大多数女生都有更清晰的计划。

5 他说:“我申请政治学研究工作,但被拒了。

他们给的年薪是1 万8 千镑,交完房租后所剩无几,也就够买一罐煮豆子,可他们还要有研究经历或硕士学位的人。

然后我又申请了公务员速升计划,并通过了笔试。

但在面试时,他们说我‘太冷漠’了,谈吐‘太像专家治国国论者’。

我觉得自己不可能那样,但我显然就是那样的。

”6 打那以后他整个夏天都在“躲”。
