新世纪大学英语第二版综合教程1 课文翻译及答案Unit1

优等生的秘诀1根据这位教授、其他教育专家以及优等生们自己的观点,懂得如何充分发挥自己的潜能对于学生来说更为重要。

2 在班上名列前茅的学生之所以学习优秀,是因为他们掌握了几个基本原则。

首先,优等生知道如何决定轻重缓急。

他们从来不会为了打电话、看电视或者吃零食而牺牲学习时间。

换言之,学习总是摆在娱乐之前。

另外,优等生们总是注意随时随地学习。

有位成绩优异的学生同时也是优秀的运动员,每天利用户外训练时间背生物学术语。

而另一位学生则利用每天早上刷牙时间记一个新单词。

所有受访的学生无一例外都认为,在什么时间学习完全是个人偏好问题。

有些人在夜深人静时学习效果最好,有些人则喜欢趁着自己还能清晰地记得上课所讲的内容,一放学回家就开始学习。

尽管如此,所有优等生都一致认为,如果想任何时候都表现优秀,一个主要的因素就是要持之以恒。

3 学生还必须学会有条理。

举个例子,有一位优等生在学校乐队、田径队、橄榄球协会和辩论小组里都很活跃。

他透露,他之所以把东西放得井井有条是因为他浪费不起到处找东西的时间。

还有一位学生喜欢把当天的笔记马上整理出来并放进用不同颜色标记的文件夹里,以便临近考试时能随时用来复习。

优等生们提倡的另一个技巧是有效的阅读,其中包括快速阅读,提高记忆能力以及主动提出问题以便充分理解作者的意思。

4 对于学生们来说,合理安排时间也同样重要。

他们必须懂得如何根据每天的时间表和学习能力来安排做作业和项目的速度,不至于让手头的工作压得喘不过气。

能制定时间表不仅让学生能够腾出更多时间来复习和完善功课,而且还能防止他们拖拖拉拉。

成绩优异的学生认为,他们成功的一大秘诀就是上课时做好笔记,供复习时使用。

有个学生透露,她把从课文上摘抄的内容记在笔记本的一边,把课堂笔记写在另一边。

这样,就可同时复习到两方面的内容。

她还透露,她不会浪费下课铃响前的几分钟跟朋友交头接耳,准备随时冲出教室。

相反,她会利用这几分钟用两三句话概括那节课的要点,然后在下次上课前浏览这些笔记,加深印象。

If you didn’t do Task 3 in Optional Classroom Activities you can write an essay of around 120 words on the following topic.College Is Not an Ivory Tower▆Sample Essays for Task 1:I like to study on my ownMany of my classmates like to study together. However, I always like to study on my own, with good reasons. First, I feel that I can concentrate better when I study alone. When I have to work together with other people, I often get distracted and more often than not, I end up chatting with them without completing the task at hand. Second, when I study on my own, I can work at my own pace, choosing to spend more time on certain difficult sections and less time on less challenging parts. I can also check my class notes or reference books whenever I feel the need to. One final good advantage of studying alone is that unlike group work, self study is not restricted by time and space. In other words, if I feel like studying, I can do so at any time and anywhere.(146 words)I like to study in a groupAccording to a recent study, students who study together by discussing homework and problems usually score higher than those who work on their own.I am happy to hear that because I like to study in a group. I think we can reinforce our understanding of what we have learned in class by asking each other questions. Besides, it is always enjoyable working with someone else. A discussion on questions we don’t understand very well will help clear up any possible confusion. Last but not least, we should not ignore the importance of cooperation in our society. Working with others helps develop our team spirit, which has become essential in this modern world of ours. After all, two heads are always better than one.(125 words)▆ Sample Essay for Task 2:College Is Not an Ivory TowerPeople often say that college is an ivory tower and life on campus is cut off from the harsh realities of the real world. College may have been an ivory tower before, but it is not so any more. We college students are under various kinds of pressure. First of all, most of us are burdened with a heavy tuition fee, which keeps on increasing every year. So some of us have to work over ten hours every week. Life for those who can get financial help from their parents is not easyeither, as they very often have to follow their parents’ advice and take a major they don’t like. Finally those who are about to graduate suffer from a different kind of pressure: hunting for a job. It is no longer easy for a college student to get a decently paid job these days.(134 words)。

新世纪大学英语第二版综合教程1 课文翻译及答案Unit2

新世纪大学英语第二版综合教程1 课文翻译及答案Unit2

一名语言教师的个人看法威尔•皮德克罗夫特1 我每天都会在报纸上、公共汽车上看到各种广告,声称轻轻松松就能学好英语。

按照这些广告的说法,学生不必费什么力气,要说一口流利的英语只需短短3个月,甚至10天就行。

广告还常常提到威廉•莎士比亚和查尔斯•狄更斯等英语文学大师的名号进一步激励学生。

每当看到诸如此类的广告时,我真是哭笑不得。

如果学英语真像这些广告所说的那么轻松,我恐怕得另谋出路了,因为不需要那么多合格的英语教师了。

但是肯定有许多人相信这些可笑的噱头,不然的话这些广告也不可能出现。

2 学生们喜欢实惠的速成学习方法也在情理之中,但要用浅显易懂的语言去解释为什么某一方法比另一方法更有效并不是一件简单的事,而且也无需装模作样地声称有什么人已经找到了一个万能的适合所有学习环境的教学方法。

一些专家甚至认为,有多少个好老师就有多少种好的教学方法,因为每一个老师都有其自身的特点。

3 有很长一段时间,人们认为学好一门语言唯一的方法就是去使用那种语言的国家待上一段时间。

当然去英国、美国、或者澳大利亚等国家学英语的学生肯定比那些不能去的学生具有很大优势,但是很多学生支付不起那笔费用。

有些学生走向另一极端:他们认为可以借助词典在家自学。

如果你认为英语中的每一个词在另一语言中都有完全对等的词,那就错了,反之亦然。

通过翻译法来给学生讲解口语的自然形式是不可能的,更不要说做到语音、语调地道了。

4 现在大量的教学活动还是建立在行为主义心理学的基础之上。

行为主义者热衷于让学生复述短语,不断做一些只需更换句中某个词的练习。

假如我们是鹦鹉或黑猩猩,那这些方法或许能奏效,可惜我们不是,这似乎让很多理论家引以为憾,否则他们提出的那些方法用起来就会容易得多了。

5 我个人认为,假如没有兴趣,任何人都不可能学好英语或其它任何语言。

与鹦鹉或黑猩猩不同,人类不会无缘无故地发出噪音,除非他们明白这些声音是什么意思,并且能将其与自己的生活联系起来。

值得牢记的是:语言是一种交际手段,人们在母语中怎么说怎么写,用另一种语言表达时也大同小异。

新世纪大学英语第二版综合教程1 课文翻译及答案Unit2

一名语言教师的个人看法威尔•皮德克罗夫特1 我每天都会在报纸上、公共汽车上看到各种广告,声称轻轻松松就能学好英语。

按照这些广告的说法,学生不必费什么力气,要说一口流利的英语只需短短3个月,甚至10天就行。

广告还常常提到威廉•莎士比亚和查尔斯•狄更斯等英语文学大师的名号进一步激励学生。

每当看到诸如此类的广告时,我真是哭笑不得。

如果学英语真像这些广告所说的那么轻松,我恐怕得另谋出路了,因为不需要那么多合格的英语教师了。

但是肯定有许多人相信这些可笑的噱头,不然的话这些广告也不可能出现。

2 学生们喜欢实惠的速成学习方法也在情理之中,但要用浅显易懂的语言去解释为什么某一方法比另一方法更有效并不是一件简单的事,而且也无需装模作样地声称有什么人已经找到了一个万能的适合所有学习环境的教学方法。

一些专家甚至认为,有多少个好老师就有多少种好的教学方法,因为每一个老师都有其自身的特点。

3 有很长一段时间,人们认为学好一门语言唯一的方法就是去使用那种语言的国家待上一段时间。

当然去英国、美国、或者澳大利亚等国家学英语的学生肯定比那些不能去的学生具有很大优势,但是很多学生支付不起那笔费用。

有些学生走向另一极端:他们认为可以借助词典在家自学。

如果你认为英语中的每一个词在另一语言中都有完全对等的词,那就错了,反之亦然。

通过翻译法来给学生讲解口语的自然形式是不可能的,更不要说做到语音、语调地道了。

4 现在大量的教学活动还是建立在行为主义心理学的基础之上。

行为主义者热衷于让学生复述短语,不断做一些只需更换句中某个词的练习。

假如我们是鹦鹉或黑猩猩,那这些方法或许能奏效,可惜我们不是,这似乎让很多理论家引以为憾,否则他们提出的那些方法用起来就会容易得多了。

5 我个人认为,假如没有兴趣,任何人都不可能学好英语或其它任何语言。

与鹦鹉或黑猩猩不同,人类不会无缘无故地发出噪音,除非他们明白这些声音是什么意思,并且能将其与自己的生活联系起来。

值得牢记的是:语言是一种交际手段,人们在母语中怎么说怎么写,用另一种语言表达时也大同小异。

(Para. 16)May I point out that if we don’t leave now we shall miss the bus?Checking Your Comprehension1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text B.1) What does the writer mean by “brutal economy”?Para. 2 in the text provides the answer. Studying at college means a huge sum of money to pay for tuition, room and board, books andmany other expenses. A student may have a loan of up to $5,000 when he graduates, and this same student has to work both part-time and full-time whenever possible at college.2) Why are humanities courses not popular with parents?Parents want to make sure that their children have a secure future and they don’t think that humanities subjects with no “practical” value will pay off.3) What are the possible reactions of a student who suffers from peer pressure?Examples of possible reactions include:a. always thinking other students are brighter and study harder;b. studying at the library as late as possible;c. doing homework till early morning;d. getting into a panic when exams are approaching and papers are due;e. getting sick and stuck;f. oversleeping due to tiredness; andg. doing more than expected.4) Who can help to free students from the pressures they suffer from? Professors, parents, and friends can help to free students from the pressures they suffer from, but it is the students themselves who should relieve themselves of the pressures.5) Explain in your own words why, according to the text, economic pressure is closely connected with parental pressure, and peer pressure with self-induced pressure.a. Students normally find it hard to cope with different kinds of fees at college without parental help. However, when students do get financial help from their parents, they will feel obligated to follow their parents’ advice, sometimes against their own will, because after all, their parents are paying all their expenses at college.b. When a student thinks that his / her peers are brighter and study harder, he / she will push himself / herself more, which will in turn induce more pressure on himself / herself.2 Read the following statements and then decide whether each of them is true or false based on the information in the text. Write T for True and F for False in the space provided before each statement. 1)T Without parental help, a student may be expected to have a large loan to pay back after graduation.2) F Many students dream of becoming dentists.(Many students don’t want to take pre-medical courses. So they go off to their labs as if they were going to see a dentist.)3)T Knowledge in the humanities can help create leaders in all general fields.4)T Lawyers, doctors and businessmen usually earn more than most of other people.5) F Students who finish an assignment up to requirements will be given the same credits as those who have done more.(When most students are doing more than they are expected to, those who are doing normal work can be perceived as not doing well.)3 Listed in the left column are the four pressures faced by college students and in the right column are causes or consequences linked to the pressures. Relate the causes or consequences to the types of pressure by following the example given. Some causes or consequences can be related to more than one type of pressure.Types of Pressure Causes or ConsequencesA. economic pressure ( a, d )B. parental pressure a. loans to payb. taking some courses unwillinglyc. taking courses with “practical value”( b, c )C. peer pressure( e, f, g )D. self-induced pressure ( e, f, g )d. heavy tuition fees, expenses on rooms and bookse. thinking some fellow students are working harderf. staying in the library till very lateg. doing more work than required4 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicized parts.1) But there are no villains; only victims. (Para. 1)Nobody is to blame for the pressures college students are suffering; all involved are victims.2) They go off to their labs as if they were going to the dentist. (Para. 4) Many students who are taking pre-medical courses don’t like this major at all.3) They are caught in one of the oldest webs of love and duty and guilt. (Para. 9)Parents and children are trapped in an age-old struggle between feelings of love, duty and guilt arising out of their different outlooks.4) “Will I get everything done?” (Para. 13)The student is totally worn out and has become suspicious of his / her own ability.5) Pity the poor student who is still just doing the assignment. (Para. 15) The students who just fulfill what they are asked to do are put at a disadvantaged position.6) The tactic works, psychologically. (Para. 16)Teachers are likely to give a higher credit to students who do more than expected.↑返回顶部Optional Classroom Activities1 Sit in groups of threes or fours and discuss each of the following questions.1) Do college students in China suffer from the same pressures mentioned in Text B? Are there any differences?Most students perhaps will say “yes” to this question as the four kinds of pressure mentioned in the text are also felt by Chinese university students. The only significant difference, perhaps, lies in the fact that Chinese university students enjoy more financial support from their parents than their American counterparts.2) What is your major? Who chose this major, you or your parents? Are you happy with your major so far? Give reasons.Answers will vary depending on who the student is and what family background he or she comes from.3) Are you working part time while being a full-time student? If so, why are you working part time? If not, do you think it’s good to work part time while being a full-time student?Some students in China are working part time while being full-time students. Some work because they need money to cover their expenses at college; some work because they think working experience is important for them.2 Sit in groups and discuss with your classmates the learning methods effective in achieving academic excellence you agree with.

新世纪大学英语第二版综合教程1 课文翻译及答案Unit2

一名语言教师的个人看法威尔•皮德克罗夫特1 我每天都会在报纸上、公共汽车上看到各种广告,声称轻轻松松就能学好英语。

按照这些广告的说法,学生不必费什么力气,要说一口流利的英语只需短短3个月,甚至10天就行。

广告还常常提到威廉•莎士比亚和查尔斯•狄更斯等英语文学大师的名号进一步激励学生。

每当看到诸如此类的广告时,我真是哭笑不得。

如果学英语真像这些广告所说的那么轻松,我恐怕得另谋出路了,因为不需要那么多合格的英语教师了。

但是肯定有许多人相信这些可笑的噱头,不然的话这些广告也不可能出现。

2 学生们喜欢实惠的速成学习方法也在情理之中,但要用浅显易懂的语言去解释为什么某一方法比另一方法更有效并不是一件简单的事,而且也无需装模作样地声称有什么人已经找到了一个万能的适合所有学习环境的教学方法。

一些专家甚至认为,有多少个好老师就有多少种好的教学方法,因为每一个老师都有其自身的特点。

3 有很长一段时间,人们认为学好一门语言唯一的方法就是去使用那种语言的国家待上一段时间。

当然去英国、美国、或者澳大利亚等国家学英语的学生肯定比那些不能去的学生具有很大优势,但是很多学生支付不起那笔费用。

有些学生走向另一极端:他们认为可以借助词典在家自学。

如果你认为英语中的每一个词在另一语言中都有完全对等的词,那就错了,反之亦然。

通过翻译法来给学生讲解口语的自然形式是不可能的,更不要说做到语音、语调地道了。

4 现在大量的教学活动还是建立在行为主义心理学的基础之上。

行为主义者热衷于让学生复述短语,不断做一些只需更换句中某个词的练习。

假如我们是鹦鹉或黑猩猩,那这些方法或许能奏效,可惜我们不是,这似乎让很多理论家引以为憾,否则他们提出的那些方法用起来就会容易得多了。

5 我个人认为,假如没有兴趣,任何人都不可能学好英语或其它任何语言。

与鹦鹉或黑猩猩不同,人类不会无缘无故地发出噪音,除非他们明白这些声音是什么意思,并且能将其与自己的生活联系起来。

值得牢记的是:语言是一种交际手段,人们在母语中怎么说怎么写,用另一种语言表达时也大同小异。

新世纪大学英语第二版综合教程1课文翻译及答案Unit1

新世纪大学英语第二版综合教程1课文翻译及答案Unit1

新世纪大学英语第二版综合教程1课文翻译及答案Unit1前199名学生的秘密一位研究和教育老师对成绩优秀的学生做了一项重点研究,发现最聪明的学生并不总能取得高分。

根据这位教授、其他教育专家和顶尖学生自己的观点,对学生来说,知道如何充分发挥他们的潜力更为重要。

班上名列前茅的学生很优秀,因为他们掌握了几个基本原理。

首先,优等生知道如何决定他们的优先顺序。

他们从不为了打电话、看电视或吃零食而牺牲学习时间。

换句话说,学习总是先于娱乐。

此外,尖子生总是随时随地注意学习。

成绩优秀的学生也是优秀的运动员。

他每天利用户外训练时间来记忆生物学术语。

而另一个学生利用每天早上刷牙的时间来记住一个新单词所有被采访的学生,无一例外,都认为何时学习完全是个人喜好的问题。

一些人在夜深人静的时候学习得最好,而另一些人喜欢一放学回家就学习,尽管他们仍然清楚地记得他们在课堂上说过的话。

尽管如此,所有优秀的学生都同意,如果你想在任何时候都表现出色,其中一个主要因素就是坚持不懈。

学生也必须学会有条理。

例如,有一名尖子生在学校乐队、田径队、足球协会和辩论团体中非常活跃。

他透露说,他把事情整理好的原因是他不能浪费时间到处找东西。

另一个学生喜欢立即整理当天的笔记,并把它们放在标有不同颜色的文件夹里,以便在考试临近的任何时候用来复习。

优等生提倡的另一项技能是有效阅读,包括快速阅读、提高记忆力和提问以充分理解作者的意思。

对学生来说,合理安排时间同样重要。

他们必须知道如何根据他们的日常时间表和学习能力来安排他们的家庭作业和项目,这样才不会压倒手头的工作。

制定时间表不仅能让学生有更多的时间复习和完善他们的课程,还能防止他们拖延。

成绩优异的学生认为他们成功的秘诀之一是在课堂上做笔记以备复习。

一名学生透露,她在笔记本的一边做笔记,在另一边做课堂笔记。

这样,我们可以同时回顾这两个方面。

她还透露,她不会浪费上课铃响前的几分钟时间,和朋友聊天,随时准备冲出教室。
