综英5 Unit6课后练习参考答案
Part I Listening TaskScript for the recording:The meeting at Appomattox in 1865, at which General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant, effectively ended the American Civil War. It has gone down in history as one of the great moments in the making of America. The account you are about to listen to gives an eyewitness account of the event.When we entered the room, we found General Grant sitting at a table in the center of the room, and Lee sitting beside a small table near the front window. The contrast between the two commanders was striking. General Grant was five feet eight inches in height. His hair and full beard were a nut-brown, without a trace of gray in them. His boots and portions of his clothes were spattered with mud. He had no sword, and a pair of shoulder-straps was all there was about him to show his rank. Lee, on the other hand, was fully six feet in height, and he was Grant's senior by sixteen years. His hair and full beard were silver-gray and quite thick. He wore a new uniform of Confederate gray, buttoned up to the throat, and at his side he carried a long sword of fine workmanship.General Grant began the conversation: "I met you once before, General Lee, while we were serving in Mexico. I have always remembered your appearance, and I think I should have recognized you anywhere." "Yes," replied General Lee, "I know I met you on that occasion, and I have often thought of it and tried to recollect how you looked, but I have never been able to recall a single feature." The two generals talked a bit more about Mexico and moved on to a discussion of the terms of the surrender.Lee asked Grant to commit the terms to paper. "Very well," replied General Grant, "I will write them out." He opened the order-book on the table before him and proceeded to write the terms. He wrote very rapidly, and after finishing the last sentence, he handed the document to Lee. Lee reviewed it and informed Grant that the Cavalry men and Artillery men in the Confederate Army owned their horses and asked that they keep them. Grant agreed and Lee wrote a letter formally accepting the surrender. Then Lee shook hands with General Grant, bowed to the other officers, and left the room. While his horse was being bridled, the general stood on the lowest step and gazed sadly in the direction of the valley beyond where his army lay — now an army of prisoners.After Listening1.appearance; dress;striking2.Mexico; the terms of the surrender3.their horses4.army of prisonersPart II Reading taskComprehensionPossible answers to content questions:1.The author sees the encounter of Generals Grant and Lee at Appomattox as thebeginning of a new chapter in American history.2.He thinks General Lee represented the privileged land-owning class.3.Human society should have a pronounced inequality in the social structure. Thereshould be a leisure class, backed by ownership of land. Society itself should be keyed to the land as the chief source of wealth and influence.4.The country should be ruled by a class of men with a strong sense of obligation tothe community, who lived not to gain advantage for themselves, but to meet the solemn obligations which had been laid on them by the very fact that they were privileged.5.General Grant was the son of a tanner on the Western frontier.6.They cherished democracy most. No man was born to anything, and life wascompetition. They had a deep sense of belonging to a national community. They thought that their financial success was closely related to the development of their country.7.They viewed privileges as those each man had won for himself.8.Because everything the Westerner lived by was tied to growth, expansion, and aconstantly widening horizon. What he lived by would survive or fall with the nation itself.9.They represented two diametrically opposed elements in American life. Grant wasthe modern man emerging.10.Because Grant represented the emerging class that would usher in the great age ofsteel and machinery in the future in the New World.11.He depicts Lee as a man who might have ridden down from the old age of chivalry,lance in hand, silken banner fluttering over his head.12.Each man was the perfect champion of his cause, drawing both his strengths andhis weaknesses from the people he led. They were marvelous fighters. Each man had the great virtue of utter tenacity and fidelity. They had daring and resourcefulness and the ability to think faster and move faster than the enemy. And the greatest similarity between them was the ability to turn quickly from war to peace once the fighting was over.Text Analysis1.Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1- 2 The Appomattox meeting brought the Civil War to its virtual end.

Asked about the underlying reasons for the great success, he said, "To begin with, it's the two orientations that characterize the culture of this company: cooperative with regard to making decisions, and trusting in relation to fellow workers. Every employee has a strong sense of obligation to the company and boundless enthusiasm for the work."2) Most chapters of this book are dedicated to the effects of games on children. According to the author, in performing and observing actions, like the collision of two objects, babies can have first-hand experience of the relations implicit in the phenomena. And team sports can help to shape children's personality in a positive way, because they can learn how to cooperate with each other in the competition.3) Martin Luther King and Rosa Parker had a lot in common. They were black people as well as civil rights heroes. They led black people to combat discrimination and inequality and to try to gain control over their own destinies.

TranslationRobert Lee’s father’s life had been plagued by poor financial investments. He was jailed twice for unpaid debts and in the end was forced to flee the country. Lee’s mother was the dominant force in shaping Lee’s personality. Against the poignant failure of her husband, she was determined that the tragedy should not be repeated in the life of her children. Self-control, a sense of obligation and an indomitable spirit were the virtues she taught Lee. In 1825, with an aspiration to win back the family honor, Lee began studying at West Point Military Academy. This began a new chapter of his life. Over the four years, he consistently finished near the top of every course. Part III Home Reading TaskText BComprehension Check1. d2. d3. d4. b5. c6. cTranslation1863年7月联邦军队在葛底斯堡和维科斯堡的胜利标志着战争的一个转折点。

The piece can be divided into seven sections with main idea for each section;(1 Paras 1-2: the emergence of life(2 Para 3: (a transitional paragraph what else is alive out there(3 Paras 4-10: search for life(4 Paras 11-23: search for intelligence(5 Paras 24-42: Mars(6 Paras 43-455: Dyson’s argument(7 Paras 46-51: conclusion2. Study the paragraphs carefully and point out how smooth paragraph transition is achieved.Paragraphs 3,8,21,28,35,39Para 3: Para 3 is a one-sentence paragraph for emphasis. It serves as a transition, leading to discusions about life beyond earth.Para 8; Para 8 serves as another transition, moving from speculation to naming the field of researchPara 21: The first .sentence of the paragraph is a transitional sentence, leading to the Fermi parade and the four possibilities, and then to the exploration of Mars. That is, from assumption to explantion and exploration.Para 28: This paragraph serves as a transition from the previous idea of "two-decade funk" to the change of mood. The last part of the last sentence of the paragraph begins the shift to the new topic of meteorite.Para35: This paragraph has a double duty; one is to develop the idea put forward by Gibson; the other is to pave the way for Paras 36 and 37 by asking the two questions that will be answered in these two paragraphs.Para 39: posing questions at the end of a paragraph serves as transition. The question posed at the end of Para 39 serves this purpose and is expected to be answered in the following paragraphs.B. Comment on the style of writing of the following statements, paying attention to structure, diction,tone, rhetorical devices, etc.1. The three sentences have a common contrasting pattern, by using "and yet" to introduce a contrast.2. Note the framing of ideas in the sentence. Thesuccinctness of the statement liesin the way the idea is formulated which is an expression difficult to imitate by non-native speakers and yet this is what they should aim at learning. It is another example of chiasmus.3. The author is using the phrase "full-scale invasion" in a humorous way, comparing the full-scale invasion . With one scientific instrument after another landing on the Mars,it is like the landing of an invasion army.4. The whole idea is contained in a statement with the following pattern: they don't wonder why they are... they wonder why they aren't. The author use negative and positive element in a reversed way in the two parts of this statement, which makes the ideas stand out and the sentence more humorous.5. This is an inverted sentence with purpose of smooth transition and emphatic effect, so that the word “evidence" which the author wants to stress comes at the end of the sentence and stands out.6. What Lowell really said is a criticism of the wars and other conflicts among people (nations on Earth.7. The word "alas" should have expressed sorrow, pity or regret. Yet the author here is using it in a mocking way8. There is a contrast in this sentence: fantastic triumph is pitted against a two-decade funk. The way the idea in the second half of the sentence is expressed is worth noticing. The author uses "the absence of detectable life" but not "the absence of life" to show so far no life has been detected. The reason may be that the instrument only collected information about the surface.9. Inversion is used here for both better connection of the two sentences and emphasis.10. The author is being humorous when he says "thisseemingly minor deficiency".11. The author is being sarcastic here. He means that humans have brains but with brains, there come wars, pollution, man-made disasters. In that case, the world may be better off if humans have had brains of our kind. This is a bitter attack on human vices.C There are a number of words concerning science formed with the following prefixes: extra-, micro-, exo-, bio-, sub-, eco-, nano-. sub-, eco-, nano-.meaning of each of the prefix.extra-; (1 outside; beyond (2 verymicr-: (1 very small (2 one millionth partexo-: external? outside or beyondbio-: of living things; of (esp. human lifesub-; (1 under,' below (2 lower in rank (3 not quite (4 (to form a smaller or less important part ofeco-: connected with enviromentnano-. one billion part ofV . Explain the following in your own words, bringing out any implied meanings.1. The fact that we do not have evidence showing that there is life beyond Earth does not mean that wecan come to the conclusion that there is actually no life beyond Earth.2. . . . examining these planets to see if the surrounding atmosphere can be identified as fitting for life.3. Those who are optimistic think that as time goes on, they will someday get the signal sent out by an alien civilization.4. Originally, we regard our world as the only one in the universe which is inhabited by intelligent humans, but we needto change our view and regard this world as one of many in the universe.5. Neither those who genuinely believe that space aliens are lurking in our midst nor those who firmly reject such an idea are likely to change their views and join the other side.6. The alien is a character used too much in Hollywood films so it has become hackneyed but the idea of extraterrestrial life was not first brought up by Hollywood.7. ... the fact that no life had been detected on Mars was a terrible blow to exobiology which did not recover from the blow in the following twenty years.8. Everyone knew that if what appeared to be microfossil.s were confirmed to be such, then the discovery would be of historic significance; but if they proved to be something else, the adverse effect that followed would be equally dramatic.9. . . . if evolution on Earth were to take place a second time,a human being who is genetically similar to us would be the result of such evolution.10. Since there is so much work we need to do here in this world (.since there are so many issues we need to address in this world* let us first concentrate on doing some solid research (on addressing th to address in this world, let us first concentrate on doing some solid research (on addressing these issues and drop discussions about drafting messages to another civilization out there.l.出现了一种叫做生命的东西——物质的一种形态:它与岩石、气体以及尘埃有本质的不同,但却由同样的东西,到处存在的同样的元素构成。

This book is intended to help you to improve stil l further so that you can reach the point where people will say that your English is fluent---a level measured by the Cambridge Proficiency Examination, for example.You will see my personal opinion of the difficulties ahead of you and how you can best solve them in Lesson 4 of this book. But it may be helpful for me to make the main points of my argument here, before you start. In the first place, there is still quite a long way to go before you can feel sure that your English is fluent. You have probably noticed yourself that while you can express your ideas in English clearly enough, you only know one way of saying or writing them.You would like to be able to vary this a little, depending on the company around your or the situation you find yourself in, just as you would in your own language. In the same way, while you understand your teacher perfectly, you may sometimes not find it so easy to follow ordinary English or American people who do not choose their words so carefully. One object of this book is to “expose”you to as many variations of modern English as possible and help you to use them yourself in the appropriate circumstances.The second main point I want to make here is that becoming fluent in English does not really depend on learning a lot of more complicated structures than you have studied already. Good modern English is not made up of long, complicated sentences. It largely depends on the correct use of structures and the connecting words and phrases that link sentences together. You will find some of these in the paragraphs above --- “that is to say,”“for example,”“in the first place,”“in the same way,”and so on. This book tries to demonstrate by examples the use of such phrases so that you will be encouraged to try them out for yourself in your own speech and writing.Unit 2To most people, education means schools. But education has many other sources as well—the home, the farm, museums, television, advertisements, newspapers and magazines, sports events and practical experience. When one thinks of education, it is important to consider all these sources.Since ancient times certain questions have been asked about education. Different societies have answered these questions in very different ways. The following are among the questions:Who shall be educated? Most of the countries of the world offer beginning education to everyone. But opinions differ as to who should receive advanced education. Some countries select for advanced education only those students who have proved themselves to be ready for it. In the United States, the door to advanced education is kept open for everyone for as long as possible. Does this “water down” education by making advanced education “too easy”? Some people think so, but others do not.How should schools be organized? Some countries have a single system of schools for everyone with specialization possible within the single system. Others maintain specialized schools, some for students as young as 13. In the United States, theres are both public and private schools. The private schools tend to emphasize academic subjects more exclusively than the public schools, which generally offer a broader curriculum. Is it better to have different kinds of schools for different kinds of students? Should all children take the same amount of time to go through schools, or should the time be different for different children？The way those in charge of schools answer these questions depends on their beliefs about what schools are for.Unit 3In this book psycho-cybernetics, Dr. Maxwell Maltz explains the amazing results one educator had in improving grades of school-children by changing their self-images. He had observed that when they saw themselves as stupid in a certain subject (or stupid in general), they unconsciously acted to confirm their self-image. They believed they were stupid, so they acted that way. Reasoning that it was their defeatist attitude rather than any lack of ability that was defeating them, the educator set out to change their self-images. And he found that when he accomplished that, they no longer behaved stupidly!Maltz records how this same negative self-image kept a salesman from ever reaching more than a certain level of sales.。

One of them was from a man who came and pleaded to the mayor ina shy and timid way.6.People in our town, remembering how old lady Wyatt.....a little too high for what the reallywere.People in the town felt that the Grierson family regarded themselves more important than they really deserved to be. The fact that miss Emily great-aunt, old lady Wyatt, had gone crazy had to do with this blind, excessive self-importance.7.Now she too would know the old thrill and the old despair of a penny more or less.Ordinary people often become excited or worried when they get a penny more or a penny less. Being poor, now she would learn to appreciate the value of money like other people in the town.8.But there were still other, older people, who...without calling it noblesse oblige.But there were still others, older people, who said that no matter how sad miss Emily was (over her father death), she should not forget she had certain obligations as a member of the nobility, though a real lady would not describe her self-restraint by the expression noblesse oblige.9.We were glad because the female cousins were even more grierson than miss Emily hadever been.We were glad because the cousins were even more stubborn and self important than miss Emily.10.…and the very old men …confusing time with its mathematical progression, as the old do,to whom all the past is not a diminishing road but, instead, a huge meadow which no winter ever quite touches, divided from them by the narrow bottle-neck of the most recent decade of years.And the very old men confused the dates and years of past happenings. To the old people, all the past should be like a road that becomes smaller as it reaches further back. But to those old southerners, the recent past of ten years or so was like a bottleneck, a narrow passage, ora tunnel. Beyond that narrow passage, the remote past became a huge level meadow wherethings were pleasantly and fondly mixed up together. Like the green grass on the meadow never touched by the winter, their memories of the remote past remained blurred, sweet, romanticized and unchanged.。

全新版大学英语(第二版)综合教程5-Unit-6课后答案及课文翻译
Unit6 Grant and Lee格兰特和李1865年4月9日，当尤利西兹·S·格兰特和罗伯特·E·李在弗吉尼亚州阿珀马特科斯县城一所不太大的房子的客厅里会面，商讨李所率的北弗吉尼亚军队投降条件时，美国人生活中一个伟大的篇章结束了，一个崭新的重要篇章开始了。
此二人是在实质上终止内战。
诚然，其他军队尚未投降，已失去主要支柱的逃亡的邦联政府仍将绝望地徒然挣扎数日，想法寻觅生机。
其实，在格兰特和李签署文件之时，一切都已结束。
他们拟定投降条件时用的那间小客厅成了见证美国史上强烈的戏剧性对照的场所。
这两位截然不同的将军都是强有力的人物，他们代表着两股相互冲突的力量的潮流，那两股潮流通过他们最终发生碰撞。
罗伯特·E·李所仰仗的信念是，古老的贵族观念或许能以某种方式继续存在下去，并左右美国人的生活。
李是弗吉尼亚州沿海低地人氏，他的生活背景是家庭、文化、传统……，是被移植到这个正在形成自身的传说与神话的新世界的骑士时代。
他体现了从骑士和英格兰乡绅时代流传下来的一种生活方式。
美国是个一切从头开始的国度，信奉的只不过是一种颇为模糊的信念，即人人拥有平等的权利，在世间应有平等的机会，如此而已。
在这样一个国度里，李代表着这样一种情感，即社会结构中保留一种明显的不平等多少有利于人类社会。
理应存在一个拥有土地的有闲阶级；反过来，社会本身应以土地为本，视其为财富与势力的主要来源。
（根据这一理想）这样一个社会会造就一个对社会有着强烈责任感的阶级，他们不是为自己获利活着，而是为了承担自己的特权所赋予的重大责任活着。
国家从他们中觅得领导人员；国家可依靠他们产生更加高尚的价值观念——思想方面的，行为方面的，个人风度方面的—以求国兴德盛。
李体现了这一贵族理想的最高尚的部分。
拥有土地的贵族通过他获得存在的理由。
四年间，南方各州拼死战斗，以捍卫李所代表的理想。
到后来，南部邦联似乎是为李而战；李本人似乎就是南部邦联……似乎是南部邦联所代表的生活方式能提供的菁华。

现代大学英语精读5课后答案Lesson 1Vocabulary1. Manhood:the state of being human2. White lie:harmless or trivial lie，esp．one told in order to avoid hurting sb．3. black sheep：person regarded as a disgrace or a failure by other members of his family or group4. To upset: to defeat5. Affirmation:stating sth．as truth firmly and forcefully6. To strain: to make the greatest possible effort7. Off base: mistaken8. (a) want (of) : lack of9. Ringing cry: rallying callParagraph1. The job of arousing manhood within a people that have been taught for so many centuries that they are nobody is not easy.It is no easy job to educate a people who have been told over centuries that they were inferior and of no importance to see that they are humans, the same as any other people.2. Psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery.If you break the mental shackles imposed on you by white supremacists, if you really respect yourself, thinking that you are a Man, equal to anyone else, you will be able to take part in the struggle against racial discrimination.3. The Negro will only be free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being and signs with the pen and ink ofassertive manhood his own emancipation proclamation.The liberation of mind can only be achieved by the Negro himself/herself. Only when a negro is fully convinced that he/she is a Man/Woman and is not inferior to anyone else, can he/she throw off the manacles of self-abnegation and become free.4. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.Power in its best form of function is the carrying out of the demands of justice with love and justice in the best form of function is the overcoming of everything standing in the way of love with power.5. At that time economic status was considered the measure of the individual’s ability and talents.At that time, the way to evaluate how capable and resourceful a person was to see how much money he had made (or how wealthy he was).6. …the absence of worldly goods indicated a want of industrious habits and moral fiber.A person was poor because he was lazy and not hard-working and lacked a sense of right and wrong.7. It is not the work of slaves driven to their tasks either by the task, by the taskmaster, or by animal necessity.This kind of work cannot be done by slaves who work because the work has to be done, becausethey are forced to work by slave-drivers or because they need to work in order to be fed and clothed.8. …when the unjust measurement of human worth on the scale of dollars is eliminated.…when the unfair practice of judhing human value by the amount of money a person has irs done awaywith.9. He who hates does not know God, but he who has love has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality.Those who harbor hate in their hearts cannot grasp the teachings of God. Only those who have love can enjoy the ultimate happiness in Heaven.10. Let us be dissatisfied until America will no longer have a high blood pressure of creeds and an anemia of deeds.Let us be dissatisfied until America no longer only talk about racial equality but is unwilling or reluctant to take action to end such evil practice as racial discrimination.Translation1. A white lie is better than a black lie.一个无关紧要的谎言总比一个恶意的谎言要好。

But she was faced with the conflict betw een her own approach to art and the conventional approach expected of her by male critics. She believed that sex-consciousness was a great hindrance to women's writing. To illustrate this point, she employs a second figure of speech, "the image of a fisherman lying sunk in dreams on the verge of a deep lake."Para 6. This paragraph sums up the author's tw o experiences, pointing out that the second obstacle is more difficult to overcome than the first.

About the AuthorN. Scott Momaday was born in Lawton, Oklahoma in 1934. Momaday belongs to a generation of American Indians born when most tribal communities had long ceased to exist as vital social organizations. His Kiowa ancestors shared with other Plains Indians the horrors of disease, military def eat, and cultural and religious deprivation in the 19th century. Their only chance of survival was to adapt themselves to new circumstances. Momaday’s grandfather, for example, adjusted to changing conditions by taking up farming, a decision pressed upon him by the General Allotment Act of 1887.Part II. Detailed study of the textPart III. The analysis of the textPara 1. the opening paragraph of the essay is a lyrical description of the author’s ancestral land, which plays a key role in his exploration of his Kiowa identity.Para 2. the author explains his purpose of his visit to Rainy Mountain: to be at his grandmother’s grave.Para 3. it sums up the history of the Kiowas as a Plains Native culture—the golden time and thedecline in their history.Para 4. it is about how the Kiowas migrated from w estern Montana and how the migration transformed the Kiowas.Para 5. the author returns to his grandmother again. Since she is the immediate reason for him to come to Rainy Mountain, she is the link betw een the author and his ancestors.Para 6. The Kiowas felt a sense of confinement in Y ellow stone, Montana.Para 7. this paragraph is a depiction of the landscape which they came upon when they got out of the highlands in Montana.Para 8. in this para the author describes Devil’s T ow er and tells the Kiowas’s legend about it.Para 9. the author tells about the last days of the Sun Dance culture by using his grandmother as a witness.Para 10. for the first time, the author concentrates only on his grandmother’s story rather than mixing it with the history of the whole Kiowa tribe. Also for the first time, the author shifts the focus of depicting the lanscape to describing a person—his grandmother Aho as an old woman.Para 11—12 paragraph 11 is about the old houses at Rainy Mountain, which the author’s grandmother and other Kiowas used to live in, but which are now empty.

现代大学英语译文及练习答案一、Where_do_we_go_from_here我们向何处去？马丁.路德.金1．为了回答“我们向何处去”这一问题，我们现在必须明确我们的现状。
当初拟定宪法时，一个不可思议的公式规定黑人在纳税和选举权方面只是一个完整人的60%。
如今又一个匪夷所思的公式似乎规定黑人只盂交纳一个人应交税的50%，只享受一个人应享受的选举权利的50%。
对于生活中的好事，黑人大约只享有白人所享受的一半；而生活中的不愉快，黑人却要承受白人所面对的两倍。
因此，所有黑人中有一半人住着低标准的住房。
并且黑人的收入只是白人的一半。
每当审视生活中的负面经历时，黑人总是占双倍的份额。
黑人无业者是白人的两倍。
黑人婴儿的死亡率是白人的两倍，从黑人所占的总人口比率上看，在越南死亡的黑人是白人的两倍。
2．其他领域也有同样惊人的数字。
在小学，黑人比白人落后一至三年，并且他们的被白人隔离的学校的学生人均所得到的补贴比白人的学校少得多。
20个上大学的学生中，只有一个是黑人。
在职的黑人中75%的人从事低收入、单凋乏味的非技术性工作。
3．这就是我们的现状。
我们的出路在哪里?首先，我们必须维护自己的尊严和价值。
我们必须与仍压迫我们的制度抗争，从而树立崇高的不可诋毁的价值观。
我们再不能因为是自已黑人而感到羞耻。
几百年来灌输黑人是卑微的、无足轻重的，因此要唤起他们做人的尊严绝非易事。
4．甚至语义学似乎也合谋把黑色的说成足丑陋的、卑劣的。
罗杰特分类词典中与黑色相关的词有120个，其中至少60个微词匿影藏形，例如。
污渍、煤烟、狰狞的、魔鬼和恶臭的。
而与白色相关的词约有134个，它们却毫无例外都褒嘉洋溢，诸如纯洁、洁净、贞洁和纯真此类词等。
白色的(善意的)谎言总比黑色的(恶意的)谎言要好。
家中最为人所不齿的人是“黑羊”，即败家子。
奥西．戴维斯曾建议或许应重造英语语言，从而教师将不再迫不得已因教黑人孩子60种方式蔑视自己而使他们继续怀有不应有的自卑感，因教白人孩子134种方式宠爱自己而使他们继续怀有不应有的优越感。

The piece can be divided into seven sections with main idea for each section;(1 Paras 1-2: the emergence of life(2 Para 3: (a transitional paragraph what else is alive out there(3 Paras 4-10: search for life(4 Paras 11-23: search for intelligence(5 Paras 24-42: Mars(6 Paras 43-455: Dyson’s argument(7 Paras 46-51: conclusion2. Study the paragraphs carefully and point out how smooth paragraph transition is achieved.Paragraphs 3,8,21,28,35,39Para 3: Para 3 is a one-sentence paragraph for emphasis. It serves as a transition, leading to discusions about life beyond earth.Para 8; Para 8 serves as another transition, moving from speculation to naming the field of researchPara 21: The first .sentence of the paragraph is a transitional sentence, leading to the Fermi parade and the four possibilities, and then to the exploration of Mars. That is, from assumption to explantion and exploration.Para 28: This paragraph serves as a transition from the previous idea of "two-decade funk" to the change of mood. The last part of the last sentence of the paragraph begins the shift to the new topic of meteorite.Para35: This paragraph has a double duty; one is to develop the idea put forward by Gibson; the other is to pave the way for Paras 36 and 37 by asking the two questions that will be answered in these two paragraphs.Para 39: posing questions at the end of a paragraph serves as transition. The question posed at the end of Para 39 serves this purpose and is expected to be answered in the following paragraphs.B. Comment on the style of writing of the following statements, paying attention to structure, diction,tone, rhetorical devices, etc.1. The three sentences have a common contrasting pattern, by using "and yet" to introduce a contrast.2. Note the framing of ideas in the sentence. The succinctness of the statement liesin the way the idea is formulated which is an expression difficult to imitate by non-native speakers and yet this is what they should aim at learning. It is another example of chiasmus.3. The author is using the phrase "full-scale invasion" in a humorous way, comparing the full-scale invasion . With one scientific instrument after another landing on the Mars,it is like the landing of an invasion army.4. The whole idea is contained in a statement with the following pattern: they don't wonder why they are... they wonder why they aren't. The author use negative and positive element in a reversed way in the two parts of this statement, which makes the ideas stand out and the sentence more humorous.5. This is an inverted sentence with purpose of smooth transition and emphatic effect, so that the word “evidence" which the author wants to stress comes at the end of the sentence and stands out.6. What Lowell really said is a criticism of the wars and other conflicts among people (nations on Earth.7. The word "alas" should have expressed sorrow, pity or regret. Yet the author here is using it in a mocking way8. There is a contrast in this sentence: fantastic triumph is pitted against a two-decade funk. The way the idea in the second half of the sentence is expressed is worth noticing. The author uses "the absence of detectable life" but not "the absence of life" to show so far no life has been detected. The reason may be that the instrument only collected information about the surface.9. Inversion is used here for both better connection of the two sentences and emphasis.10. The author is being humorous when he says "this seemingly minor deficiency".11. The author is being sarcastic here. He means that humans have brains but with brains, there come wars, pollution, man-made disasters. In that case, the world may be better off if humans have had brains of our kind. This is a bitter attack on human vices.C There are a number of words concerning science formed with the following prefixes: extra-, micro-, exo-, bio-, sub-, eco-, nano-. sub-, eco-, nano-.meaning of each of the prefix.extra-; (1 outside; beyond (2 verymicr-: (1 very small (2 one millionth partexo-: external? outside or beyondbio-: of living things; of (esp. human lifesub-; (1 under,' below (2 lower in rank (3 not quite (4 (to form a smaller or less important part ofeco-: connected with enviromentnano-. one billion part ofV .

The fact that we do not have evidence showing that there is life beyond Earth does not mean that wecan come to the conclusion that there is actually no life beyond Earth.2. . . . examining these planets to see if the surrounding atmosphere can be identified as fitting for life.3. Those who are optimistic think that as time goes on, they will someday get the signal sent out by an alien civilization.4. Originally, we regard our world as the only one in the universe which is inhabited by intelligent humans, but we need to change our view and regard this world as one of many in the universe.5. Neither those who genuinely believe that space aliens are lurking in our midst nor those who firmly reject such an idea are likely to change their views and join the other side.6. The alien is a character used too much in Hollywood films so it has become hackneyed but the idea of extraterrestrial life was not first brought up by Hollywood.7. ... the fact that no life had been detected on Mars was a terrible blow to exobiology which did not recover from the blow in the following twenty years.8. Everyone knew that if what appeared to be microfossil.s were confirmed to be such, then the discovery would be of historic significance; but if they proved to be something else, the adverse effect that followed would be equally dramatic.9. . . . if evolution on Earth were to take place a second time, a human being who is genetically similar to us would be the result of such evolution.10.
