新编大学英语综合教程1-unit6Unit 6 A World of MysteryIn-Class Reading The Bermuda Triangle百慕大三角1 1945年12月5日,佛罗里达州的劳德代尔堡,天气晴朗,由五架美国海军飞机组成的第19飞行分队从这里起飞。

机上共有14名机组人员。

飞机状况良好;机上装有当时最好的设备,包括罗盘和无线电设备,还携带有救生筏。

飞机可以在水上漂浮90秒钟。

飞机起飞一个半小时后,劳德代尔堡的指挥塔台听到了从其中一架飞机传来的无线电信息。

2 “我不知道我们现在所处的位置。

”3 之后飞机再也无法和指挥塔台通话,但是飞机之间可以通话,而且指挥塔台也能听到他们的通话。

4 “磁罗盘简直疯了。

”5 “我们完全迷失了方向。

”6 从这之后没有收到其他任何信息。

再也没有其他任何人收到过这些飞机的消息或看到过它们。

300架飞机和许多船只搜索了该地区,但没有找到第19飞行分队的任何踪迹。

而且其中一架被派去搜寻的飞机也彻底失踪了。

7 这些飞机是在西大西洋上一个非常神秘的地方失踪的,在这里已经发生了许多奇怪的事件。

这种神秘现象在1945年之前很久就已经出现了,而且自那一年以来,又有许多其他船只和飞机在这一地区失踪。

这一地区被称为百慕大三角,是大西洋上一个巨大的三角形海域,其北端是百慕大岛。

8 飞机和船只在世界的其他地方也会失踪,但是百慕大三角内发生的失踪事件要比其他地区多。

多年来科学家们和其他人士对这一神秘现象感到困惑不解。

人们做了许多努力,试图解释为什么有这么多的人、飞机和船只在这里失踪。

9 作家约翰·斯宾塞认为,这些船只和飞机被来自另一行星上的飞碟或不明飞行物从海上和空中劫走了。

他的看法是,既然宇宙里有数百万其他行星,那么在宇宙中的某些地方肯定存在其他有智慧的生物。

这些生物喜欢收集人类及其设备,以便仔细观察研究。

10 另一种理论认为,该地区的地理状况是造成船只和飞机失踪的罪魁祸首。

新编英语教程6第三版练习册答案

新编英语教程6第三版练习册答案【篇一:新编英语教程第六册练习册paraphrase答案】nothing in life is more exciting and rewarding than the sudden flash of light that leaves you a changed person--not only changed, but changed for the better.the most inspiring and gratifying fact of life is the unexpected spark of enlightenment that makes you different and a better person than before.2. he came across the street, finally, muffled in his ancient overcoat, shapeless felt hat pulled down over his bald head, looking more like an energetic gnome than an eminent psychiatrist.at last he walked over from the other side of the street,wrapped in his old-fashioned overcoat, his bald head coveredby a shapeless felt hat. he looked like a dwarfish old man fullof energy rather than a well-known psychiatrist.3. the woman who spoke next had never married because of a sense of obligation to her widowed mother; she recalledbitterly all the marital chances she had let go by.the next speaker on the tape was a woman who had remained single because she thought she was obliged to take care of her mother who was a widow. she still remembered and told others miserably about all the chances of marriage she had missed.4. in the end, if you let it become a habit, it can become a real roadblock, an excuse for not trying any more.eventually, if you form a habit of saying “if only”, the phrasecan really turn to an obstruction, providing you with an excuse for giving up trying anything at all.5. ... you never got out of the past tense. not once did you mention the future.…you are always thinking of the past, regretting and lamenting. you did not look forward to what you can do in the future at all.6. my, my, said the old man slyly. if only we had come downten seconds sooner, wed have caught that cab, wouldnt we?the old man said to me trickily, using the phrase “if only” on purpose, “if only we’d got here ten seconds earlier, we’d havecaught the cab.” i laughed and understood what he meant. so i foll owed his advice and said, “next time i’ll run faster”.unit 21. moses pleaded a speech defect to rationalize his reluctance to deliver jehovahs edict to pharaoh. moses justified his unwillingness to pass jehovah’s order to pharaoh, saying that he was “slow of speech”.2. yet for all the trouble procrastination may incur, delay can often inspire and revive a creative soul.delay leads to problems. however, in many cases, it can often stimulate the creativity in an artist.3. he notes that speedy action can be embarrassing or extremely costly.he points out that hastiness may give rise to decision which turn out to be humiliating or expensive.4. bureaucratization, which flourished amid the growing burdens of government and the greater complexity of society, was designed to smother policymakers in blankets of legalism, compromise and reappraisal---and thereby prevent hasty decisions from being made.excessive red-tape(官样文章;繁文缛节) developed because public administration was expanding in scope and because society was growing more and more complicated. in this sense, red-tape helped those in charge of policy to be fully engaged in enormous amount of paperwork and judgment, thus making it impossible for an immature decision to result.5. ...many of my friends go through agonies when they face a blank page.…many of my friends have a hard time the moment they attempt to put pen to paper.unit 31. of course, my father is a gentleman of the old school, a member of the generation to whom a good deal of modern architecture is unnerving; but i suspect---i more than suspect, i am convinced---that his negative response was not so much to the architecture as to a violation of his concept of the nature of money.brought up in the old tradition, my father is naturally not prepared to accept the idea of modern architecture; his objection to it, i would assume, indeed i should say i am prettysure, is not a result of his strong dislike of the physical building itself, but rather that of his refusal to change his attitude towards money.2. if a buildings design made it appear impregnable, the institution was necessarily sound, and the meaning of the heavy wall as an architectural symbol dwelt in the prevailing attitude toward money, rather than in any aesthetic theory.if a building was made to look sturdy/invulnerable, it would be accordingly regarded as reliable, and the significance of the thick walls would be measured not by their artistic value, but by their seeming ability to provide a safe location for money.3. in a primitive society, for example, men pictured the world as large, fearsome, hostile, and beyond human control.people in a primitive society, for example, saw the world as an enormous planet full of fear, hatred and disorder.4.the principal function of todays wall is to separate possible undesirable outside air from the controlled conditions of temperature and humidity which we have created inside.today a wall serves mainly as a physical means to protect the desired atmosphere inside from being disturbed by anything unwelcome outside.5. to repeat, it is not our advanced technology, but our changing conceptions of ourselves in relation to the world that determine how we shall build our walls.again, the decisive factor that can influence the design of a wall is not the advancement of science and technology, but our ever-changing attitude towards our place in this world.unit 41. he was a man of exuberant fancy, and, withal, of an authority so irresistible that, at his will, he turned his varied fancies into facts.he was a man rich in whimsies, and intolerant of any act bold enough as to challenge his authority. when his mind caught upon something, absurd as it might be, he would do everything to make sure that it was done in the way he wished.2. when every member of his domestic and political systems moved smoothly in its appointed course, his nature was bland and genial; but whenever there was a little hitch, and some of his orbs got out of their orbits, he was blander and more genialstill, for nothing pleased him so much as to make the crooked straight, and crush down uneven places.when all his subjects behaved in such a manner as they were told to, he could be gentle and kind. and he could even be more so, if anything not conforming to what he expected should occur, because that offered a great chance for him to see the undesirable removed, a thing he was most delighted in doing.3. he could open either door he pleased: he was subject to no guidance or influence but that of the aforementioned impartial and incorruptible chance.he enjoyed total freedom to choose what to do: he was not directed or influenced by anyone as to which door to open. the only thing that was decisive in terms of his fate was the above-mentioned chance, granted to all the accused alike.4. this element of uncertainty lent an interest to the occasion which it could not otherwise have attained.the fact that no one could tell for sure what might happen (to the accused) made this from of trial more attractive than any other form of justice.5. thus the masses were entertained and pleased, and the thinking part of the community could bring no charge of unfairness against this plan; for did not the accused person have the whole matter in his own hands?thus people enjoyed coming here to watch, and those guided by reason in the society could not possibly question the fairness of this form of trial; for was it not the fact that all the accused were given equal chances to make decisions upon their won destiny?unit51. this semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most florid fancies, and with a soul as fervent and imperious as his own.this semi-barbaric king had a daughter as exuberant as the wildest of his notions, a daughter who possessed a nature as fierce and tyrannical as his own.2. of course, everybody knew that the deed with which the accused was charged had been done.it was, of course, known to all that he was guilty of the offense of conducting an affair with the princess.3. ...; but the king would not think of allowing any fact of this kind to interfere with the workings of the tribunal, in which he took such great delight and satisfaction.…,even though the king was well aware that the love affair had taken place, he would still refuse to let the normal method of deciding guilt or innocence be disturbed, because he was extremely enthusiastic about his way of setting matters of this kind.4. ...; but gold, and the power of a womans will, had brought the secret to the princess..…; but because she had the money, and above all, because her determination was so irresistible, the princess was able to get access to the secret.5. he understood her nature, and his soul was assured that she would never rest until she had made plain to herself this thing, hidden to all other lookers-on, even to the king.he knew her so well that he was perfectly positive that she would never cease to search for the secret, which remained unknown to all other spectators, even to the king himself.unit 61. there seems to be a general assumption that brilliant people cannot stand routine; that they need a varied, exciting life in order to do their best.it is generally believed that a colorless life can freeze a creative mind, and that only a colorful life can inspire a man to creative work.2. the outstanding characteristic of mans creativeness is the ability to transmute trivial impulses into momentous consequences.one of the wonders human creativity works is that man can make full use of even insignificant feelings to produce far-reaching results.3. an eventful life exhausts rather than stimulates.a life full of diversions stops man’s creativity instead of activating it.4. it is usually the mediocre poets, writers, etc.,who go in search of stimulating events to release their creative flow.only literary artists of an average type rely on excitements in life as a source for their creative work./ great poets, writers, etc., create works of art out of trivial and common subject.5. people who find dull job unendurable are often dull people who do not know what to do with themselves when at leisure. people who are unable to see how to be patient with repetitious work are usually those who are unable to see where to find fun in life when it comes to relaxation.【篇二:新编英语教程6 练习与答案】txt>practice testsforadvanced english(2)主编张华鸿第五、六册本书的主要特点:1.2.前言编写本书的目的:目前英语专业三年级所使用的由上海外国语大学李观仪教授主编的〈新编英语教程〉紧扣精读课文编写练习,实用性、针对性强。

Unit 6 A World of MysteryIn-Class Reading The Bermuda Triangle百慕大三角1 1945年12月5日,佛罗里达州的劳德代尔堡,天气晴朗,由五架美国海军飞机组成的第19飞行分队从这里起飞。

机上共有14名机组人员。

飞机状况良好;机上装有当时最好的设备,包括罗盘和无线电设备,还携带有救生筏。

飞机可以在水上漂浮90秒钟。

飞机起飞一个半小时后,劳德代尔堡的指挥塔台听到了从其中一架飞机传来的无线电信息。

2 “我不知道我们现在所处的位置。

”3 之后飞机再也无法和指挥塔台通话,但是飞机之间可以通话,而且指挥塔台也能听到他们的通话。

4 “磁罗盘简直疯了。

”5 “我们完全迷失了方向。

”6 从这之后没有收到其他任何信息。

再也没有其他任何人收到过这些飞机的消息或看到过它们。

300架飞机和许多船只搜索了该地区,但没有找到第19飞行分队的任何踪迹。

而且其中一架被派去搜寻的飞机也彻底失踪了。

7 这些飞机是在西大西洋上一个非常神秘的地方失踪的,在这里已经发生了许多奇怪的事件。

这种神秘现象在1945年之前很久就已经出现了,而且自那一年以来,又有许多其他船只和飞机在这一地区失踪。

这一地区被称为百慕大三角,是大西洋上一个巨大的三角形海域,其北端是百慕大岛。

8 飞机和船只在世界的其他地方也会失踪,但是百慕大三角内发生的失踪事件要比其他地区多。

多年来科学家们和其他人士对这一神秘现象感到困惑不解。

人们做了许多努力,试图解释为什么有这么多的人、飞机和船只在这里失踪。

9 作家约翰·斯宾塞认为,这些船只和飞机被来自另一行星上的飞碟或不明飞行物从海上和空中劫走了。

他的看法是,既然宇宙里有数百万其他行星,那么在宇宙中的某些地方肯定存在其他有智慧的生物。

这些生物喜欢收集人类及其设备,以便仔细观察研究。

10 另一种理论认为,该地区的地理状况是造成船只和飞机失踪的罪魁祸首。

百慕大位于地震带。

Paraphrase the parts underlined in the following:So the letter which you asked me to write on my uncle’s death has made you eager to hear about the terrors and also the hazards I had to face 1when left at Misenum, for I 2broke off at the beginning of this part of my story.I took a bath, dined, and then dozed 3fitfully for a while. For several days past there had been earth 4tremors which were not particularly alarming because they are frequent in Campania: but that night the shocks were so violent that everything fell as if it were not only shaken but overturned.I don’t know whether I sh ould call this courage or 5folly on my part (I was only seventeen at the time) but I 6called for a volume of Livy and went on reading as if I had nothing else to do.Up came a friend of my uncle’s who had just come from Spain to join him. When he saw us sitting there and me actually reading, he scolded us both —me for my 7foolhardiness and my mother for allowing it.By now it was dawn [25 August in the year 79], but the light was still dim and 8faint. The buildings round us were already 9tottering, and the open space we were in was too small for us not to be in real and 10imminent danger if the house collapsed. This finally 11decided us to leave the town. We were followed by a panic- stricken mob of people wanting to act on someone else’s decision 12in preference to their own (a point in which fear looks like 13prudence), who 14hurried us on our way by pressing hard behind in a dense crowd.We also saw the sea sucked away and apparently forced back by the earthquake: at any rate it receded from the shore so that 15quantities of sea creatures were left 16stranded on dry sand. On the landward side a fearful black cloud was 17rent by forked and quivering bursts of flame, and parted to reveal great tongues of fire, like flashes of lightning magnified in size.At t his point my uncle’s friend from Spain 18spoke up still more urgently: “If your brother, if your uncle is still alive, he will want you both to be saved; if he is dead, he would want you to survive him so why put off your escape?”Soon afterwards the cloud sank down to earth and covered the sea; it had already 19blotted out Capri and hidden the promontory of Misenum from sight. Then my mother 20implored, entreated, and commanded me to escape as best I couldI looked round: a dense black cloud was coming up behind us, spreading over the earth like a flood. “Let us leave the road while we can still see,” I said, “or we shall be knocked down and 21trampled underfoot in the dark by the crowd behind.”You could hear the shrieks of women, the 22wailing of infants, and the shouting of men; some were calling their parents, others their children or their wives, trying to recognize them by their voices. People 23bewailed their own fate or that of their relatives, and there were some who 24prayed for death in their terror of dying. Many 25besought the aid of the gods, but still more imagined there were no gods left, and that the universe was plunged into eternal darkness forevermore. There were people, too, who 26added to the real perils byinventing 27fictitious dangers: some reported that part of Misenum had collapsed or another part was on fire, and though their tales were false they found others to believe them. A 28gleam of light returned, but we took this to be a warning of the approaching flames rather than daylight.I could boast that not a groan or cry of fear 29escaped me in these perils, 30had I not derived some poor consolation in my mortal lot from the belief that the whole world was dying with me and I with it.We returned to Misenum where we 31attended to our physical needs as best we could, and then spent an anxious night alternating between hope and fear.II. Rewrite the followingFor each of the sentences below, write a new sentence as close in meaning as possible to the original sentence by using the given words as the beginning.1. We were followed by a panic-stricken mob of people wanting to act on someone else’s decision in preference to their own, who hurried us on our way by pressing hard behind in a dense crowd.Panic-stricken, the mob of people close behind us ___________ _ 2.
