He continued the housework to cover up his anger and show his indifference in return.17.He is ashamed of being made to lose his temper. He thinks it was foolish of him to take his wife so seriously. He obviously does not view his wife as his intellectual equal.18.He is going to change his answer. No, he just wants to humor迁就；顺应；顺某人的意his wife, and he does not think the issue that important anyway (=besides).19.He was hoping that now that he had said that he would marry her even ifshe were black, she would forgive him somehow. When his wife asked him to turn off the light, he expected her to join him. So he said “All right好啦”meaning “I’ve turned off the light as you asked me to do. Come over to me now”.20.As I see it, it was not the first time since they had married that he had felt his wife was a stranger to him.V ocabulary第一大题第一小题1.Suffix “-ware”, meaning objects made of a particular material2.Suffix “-ics”, meaning the sience or art of3./4.

On the following days of being trapped, the boy was in a verydangerous situation. It was terribly cold, and he could hardly find any more wood tobuild a fire, What’s more, he cut his hand by accident while slashing off greenbranches, and a wolf followed the blood spots on the snow and found where he was.Soon another wolf came, and the two of them were only 50 feet away. Just themMaheggun appeared as if from nowhere. He drove off the other two. Though out thenight, Maheggun stayed with the boy, watching for any attackers. The next day thesearch team arrived and took the boy home.ⅤT ranslation1.Behind each beautiful fur there is an ugly story. It is a brutal, bloody, and barbaricstory . The animal is not killed –it is tortured. I don’t think a fur coat is worth it.2.We declare henceforth that all animals shall enjoy these inalienable rights: The rightto freedom from fear, pain and suffering – whether in the name of science or sport,fashion or food, exhibition or service. The right, if they are wild, to roam free,unharried by hunters, trappers or slaughterers. If they are domestic, not to beabandoned in the city streets, by a country road, or in a cruel and inhumane pound.And finally the right, at the end, to a decent death—not by a club, by a trap, byharpoon, cruel poison or mass extermination chamber. We have only one creed—to speak for those who can’t.。

大学英语(2)部分课后练习答案及课文译文
解析：过去分词短语相当于一个定语从句，与主语的逻辑关系为被动关 系，相当于“which is founded”。整个句子的意思是：“创建于1951年的 国际研究大学是一所军事学院。”
10. C 解析：本题需要选择whose来充当关系代词，作定语修饰名词，相当于 所修饰成分的前置所有格。整个句子的意思是：“一个我不知道名字的 学生来看望我。”
3. D 解析：在4个选项中，除了as能够引导非限制性定语从句外，其余都不 可以。整个句子的意思是：“代表们提出了许多提议，这正是我们所希 望的。”
4. A 解析：因为one of前有定冠词the，所以定语从句应该是修饰one的，谓 语动词要用第三人称单数。整个句子的意思是：“玛丽是唯一要被转走 的队员。”
13. D 解析：句子的意思是：“这就是我所想告诉你的”。这是一个表语从 句，后面句子缺少一个作tell宾语的连接词，因此只能选择what。 14. C 解析：句子的意思是：“班里的同学们不理解这句话的意思是什 么。”疑问句作宾语从句时语序应该使用陈述句的语序，其他选项都不 是陈述句语序，故正确但为C。 15. B 解析：及物动词doubt后面缺少一个宾语，由于宾语部分已经完整，这 里只需要连词that起连接作用，而且在句子里不充当成分。句子的意思 是：“我们不怀疑他能做的很好。”
11. B 解析：第一个空需要选择when来引导定语从句表示时间，一般来讲表 示时间“time”一词的定语从句只用when引导。第二个空需要选择表示地 点的关系副词where来引导定语从句。整个句子的意思是：“人类在宇宙 中随心所欲自由飞翔的日子终归会到来。”
12. D 解析：本题考查判断关系代词和关系副词的区别。此时需要准确判断先 行词在定语从句中的成分(主、谓、宾、定、状)。在本题中所缺部分为 宾语，而where, that, on which都不能起到宾语的作用，只有the one既可 作主句的表语，又可作从句的宾语，更重要的是它可以省略关系代词。 整个句子的意思是：“这是你几天前参观的那家博物馆吗？”
