Study the model given below. Then read the next two paragraphs and show how coherence and unity is improved by the use, of transitional devices.Model: But this is only one aspect of the problem. Another, no less essential, is the wider gap between generations since the rate of social development has speeded up. The tastes and habits of young people today differ markedly from those of the young people of the thirties, let alone of the twenties. Still influenced by the tastes and habits of their own youth, the "fathers" are inclined to think these habits and tastes are absolutes and to deny their children the right to independent creativity which they demanded from their own parents. Hence the artificial conflicts, in which a dance or the width of trousers is elevated to the dignity of crucial issues. The writer uses the following transitional devices:1) Transitional words and expressionsbut another still hence2) Pronoun referencethose their these they3) Repetition of important wordstastes and habits young people1. And since we (teenagers) are so new, many people have some very wrong ideas about us. For instance, the newspapers are always carrying advice-columns telling our mothers how to handle us, their "bewildered maladjusted offspring, " and the movies portray us as half-witted bops (hoodlums-ed. ); and in the current best sellers, authors recall their own confused, unhappy youth. On the other hand, speakers tell us that these teen-years are the happiest and freest of our lives, or hand us the "leaders of tomorrow, forge on the future" line. The general opinion is that teen-agers are either car-stealing, dope-taking delinquents, or immature, weepy adolescents with nothing on our minds but boys (or girls as the case may be ). Most adults have one or two attitudes toward the handling of teens--some say that only a sound beating will keep us in line; others treat us as mentally unbalanced creatures on the brink of insanity, who must be pampered and shielded at any cost.2. As of today, I am fed up with the food served in the campus dining hall. My disenchantment started in September---the day I bit into a hamburger to find myself staring at a long strand of grey hair that trailed out of the meat, through the mayonnaise, and over the edge of the bun. After that, I was not much surprised by the little things I came across in October and November: bugs in the salad and bobby pin in the meatloaf, for example. Then in December the food was worse--and a little dirtier. For Christmas dinner, for in- stance, the cook gave me a thin slice of rolled turkey, straight out of the can, and dished up a cock-roach in my pudding. Even that was excusable (nobody is perfect), but what happened today is not" I had already eaten most of my clam chowder before I found it, at the bottom of the bowl, nestled among the diced potatoes and the chopped onions: one band-aid, slightly used.XIII. Topics for oral work:1. In your opinion, what makes or spoils a good conversation?2. Is spoken English different from written English? In what ways are they different?XIV. Write a short composition describing some of the peculiarities of spoken EnglishPub Talk and the King's English 课后练习题答案Ⅰ .1. Carlyle : Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), English essayist and historian born at Ecclefechan,a village of the Scotch lowlands. After graduating from the University of Edinburgh, he rejected the ministry, for which he had been intended, and determined to he a writer of hooks. In 1826 he married Jane Welsh, a well-informed and ambitious woman who did much to further his career. They moved to Jane' s farm at Craigenputtoeh where they lived for 6 years (1828-1834 ). During this time he produced Sartor Resartus (1833-1834), a book in which he first developed his char- acteristic style and thought. This book is a veiled sardonic attack upon the shams and pretences of society, upon hollow rank, hollow officialism, hollow custom, out of which life and usefulness have departed. In 1837 he published The French Revolution, a poetic rendering and not a factual account of the great event in history. Besides these two masterpieces, he wrote Chartism (1840), On Heroes, hero Worship, and the Heroic in History (I841), Past and Present (1843) and others. "Carlylese", a peculiar style of his own, was a compound of biblical phrases, col loquialisms, Teutonic twists, and his own coinings, arranged in unexpected sequences. One of the most important social critics of his day, Carlyle influenced many men of the younger generation, among them were Mathew Arnold and Ruskin.2. Lamb : Charles Lamb (1775-1834), English essayist, was born in London and brought up within the precincts of the ancient law courts, his father being a servant to an advocate of the inner Temple. He went to school at Christ's Hospital, where he had for a classmate Coleridge, his life-long friend. At seventeen, he became a clerk in the India House and here he worked for 33 years until he was re-tired on a pension. His devotion to his sister Mary, upon whom rested an hereditary taint of insanity, has done al-most as much as the sweetness and gentle humor of his writings to endear his name. They collaborated on several books for children, publishing in 1867 their famous Tales from Shakespeare. His dramatic essays, Specimens of English Dramatic Poets (1808), established his reputation as a critic and did much in reviving the popularity of Eliza-be then drama. The Essays of Ella, published at intervals in London Magazine, were gathered together and republished in two series, the first in 1823, the second ten years later. They established Lamb in the title which he still holds, that of the most delightful of English essayists.Ⅱ.1.A good conversation does not really start from anywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go. A good conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument is not to convince. When people become serious and talk as if they have something very important to say, when they argue to convince or to win their point, the conversation is spoilt.2. The writer likes bar conversation very much because he has spent a lot of time in pubs and is used to this kind of conversation. Bar friends are companions, not intimates. They are friends but not intimate enough to be curious about each other's private life and thoughts.3. No. Conversation does not need a focus. But when a focal subject appears in the natural flow of conversation, the conversation becomes vivid, lively and more interesting.4. The people talked about Australia because the speaker who introduced the subject mentioned incidentally that it was an Australian who had given her such a definition of "the King's English. " When the people talked about the resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for "English as it should be spoken", the conversation moved to Norman England because at that time a language barrier existed between the Saxon peasants and the Norman conquerors.5. The Saxon peasants and their Norman conquerors used different words for the same thing. For examples see paragraph 9.6. The writer seems to be in favor of bilingual education. He is against any form of cultural barrier or the cultural humiliation of any section or group of people.7. The term "the Queen's English" was used in 1953 by Nash because at that time the reigning monarch was a queen, Elizabeth I. The term "the King's English" is the more common form because the ruling monarch is generally a king. Those who are not very particular may use the term "the King's English", even when the ruling monarch is a queen. In 1602, Dekker used the term "the King's English", although the reigning monarch was still Queen Elizabeth.8.“The King’s English” was regarded as a form 0f racial discrimination during the Norman rule in England about 1154—1399.9.The writer thinks “the King’s English” is a class representation of reality.1t is worth trying to speak “the King’s English”,but it should not be 1aid down as an edict,and made immune to change from below.The King’s English is a model a rich and instructive one- but it ought not to be an ultimatum.10.During the Norman period,the ruling class spoke Anglo— French while the peasants spoke their native Saxon language.Language bears the stamp of the class that uses it.The King’s English today refers to the language used by the upper,educated class in England.Ⅲ.1.The title of this piece is not well chosen.It misleads the readers into thinking that the writer is going to demonstrate some intrinsic or linguistic relationship between pub talk and the King’s English.Whereas the writer.in reality,is just discoursing on what makes good conversation.The King’s English is connected with “pub talk” when the writer describes the charming conversation he had with some people one evening in a pub on the topic “the King’s English” to illustrate his point that bar conversation in a pub has a charm of its own.2.1n this essay the writer alluded to many historical and literary event such as the Norman conquest,the saloons of 18th century Paris,and the words of many a man of letters.For a short expository essay like this,the allusions used are more than expected and desirable.3.Paragraph 5 is a transition paragraph by means of which the writer passes from a general discourse on good conversation to a particular instance of it.But one feels the change from “pub talk” to “the King's English” a bit too abrupt.4.The simple idiomatic expressions like "to be on the rocks,out of bed on the wrong side,etc.”may be said to go well with the copious literary and historical allusions the writer used for an informal conversational style to Suit the theme of this essay in which the writer tries to defend informal uses of language.5.The writer’s attitude towards “the King’s English” shows that he is a defender of democracy.Ⅳ.1.And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings. (Animals and birds are not capable of conversation.)2.Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view.3.In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view.4.People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other’s lives.5.The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong.6.These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields;but when we sit down at the table to eat.we call their meat beef.7.The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers.8.The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more.9.The phrase, the King’s English, has always been used disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes. The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.10.There still exists in the working people, as in the early Saxon peasants, a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.11.There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent. For example, the word “dog” is a symbol representing a kind of animal. We mustn’t regard the word “dog” as being the animal itself.12.Even the most educated and literate people do not use standard, formal English all the time in their conversation.V.See the translation of the text.Ⅵ·1. on the rocks:metaphor,comparing a marriage to a ship wrecked on the rocks2.get out of bed on the wrong side: be in a bad temper for the day (The meaning is perhaps derived from the expression “You got out of bed the wrong way”. It was an ancient superstition that it was unlucky to set the left foot on the ground first on getting out of bed.) 3.on wings:metaphor,comparing conversation to a bird flying and soaring.It means the conversation soon became spirited and exciting.4.turn up one’s nose at:scorn;show scorn for5.into the shoes:metaphor(or more appropriately an idiomatic expression),think as if one were wearing the shoes of the Saxon peasant,i.e.as if one were a Saxon peasant6 come into one’s own:receive what properly belongs to one,especially acclaim or recognition657.sit up at:(colloquial)become suddenly alert and take notice ofⅦ.1.ignorant指缺乏知识,可以是就整体而言(如an ignorant man),也可以是就某一具体方面或问题而言(如ignorant of the reason of their quarrel对他们争吵的起因毫无所知);illiterate意为缺乏文化修养,尤指读写能力的缺乏;uneducated指没有受到正规的、系统的学校教育;unlearned意为学问不富(未必无知),既可指一无所长,又可指某一方面所知有限,如unlearned in science,意为对科学懂得有限,但对其他学科,如文学、哲学等,倒可能是很精通的。

住在该镇那座豪华的黎赛留公寓度假的几位旅客组织了一次聚会,从他们所居的有利地位观赏飓风的壮观景象,结果像是有一个其大无比的拳头把公寓打得粉碎,26人因此丧生。

柯夏克家的屋顶一被掀走,约翰就高喊道:“快上楼一一到卧室里去!数数孩子。

”在倾盆大雨中,大人们围成一圈,让孩子们紧紧地挤在中间。

柯夏克老奶奶哀声切切地说道:“孩子们,咱们大家来唱支歌吧!”孩子们都吓呆了,根本没一点反应。

老奶奶独个儿唱了几句,然后她的声音就完全消失了。

客厅的壁炉和烟囱崩塌了下来。

弄得瓦砾横飞。

眼看他们栖身的那间卧室电有两面墙壁行将崩塌,约翰立即命令大伙:“进电视室去!”这是离开风头最远的一个房间。

约翰用手将妻子搂了一下。

詹妮丝心里明白了他的意思。

由于风雨和恐惧,她不住地发抖。

她一面拉过两个孩子紧贴在自己身边,一面默祷着:亲爱的上帝啊,赐给我力量,让我经受住必须经受的一切吧。

她心里怨恨这场飓风。

我们一定不会让它得胜。

柯夏克老爹心中窝着一团火,深为自己在飓风面前无能为力而感到懊丧。

The city is also the commercial hub of a ranching and mining area. In the 19th century Las Vegas was a watering place for travelers to South California. In 1.855-1857 the Mormons maintained a fort there, and in 1864 Fort Baker was built by the U. S. army. In 1867, Las Vegas was detached from the Arizona territory and joined to Nevada. (from The New Columbia Encyclopedia )Ⅱ.1. He didn' t think his family was in any real danger, His former house had been demolished by Hurricane Betsy for it only stood a few feet above sea level.

Besides, he had talked the matter over with his father and mother and consulted his longtime friend, Charles Hill, before making his decision to stay and face the hurricane.2. Magna Products is the name of the firm owned by John Koshak. It designed and developed educational toys and supplies.3. Charlie thought they were in real trouble because salty water was sea water. It showed the sea had reached the house and they were in real trouble for they might be washed into the sea by the tidal wave.4. At this Critical moment when grandmother Koshak thought they might die at any moment, she told her husband the dearest and the most precious thing she could think of.

The writer gives order and logical movement to the sequence of happenings by describing a series of actions in the order of their occurrence.7. The story reaches its climax in paragraph 27.8. I would have ended the story at the end of Paragraph 27,because the hurricane passed, the main characters survived, and the story could come to a natural end.9. Yes, it is. Because the writer states his theme or the purpose behind his story in the reflection of Grandmother Koshak: "We lost practically all our possessions, but the family came through it. When I think of that, I realize we lost nothing important.Ⅳ.1. We' re 23 feet above sea level.2. The house has been here since 1915, and no hurricane has ever caused any damage to it.3.

(ll.22-24)Almost none of the analogies that have been used so far can fully describe what teaching is all about, (or: Nearly all the analogies that have been used so far can only present a partial picture, rather than a complete one, of what teaching is really about.) In this sense, none of them serves as an apt analogy for teaching.2.Rather than emphasizing the mutuality of the endeavor, each of these common analogiesturns on a separation between the professional and his clients. (ll. 30-32)Each of these popular analogies sees the teacher and his students not as an organic unit tied together in a joint effort, but as being isolated from each other.3.The teacher as actor also plays to a passive audience, but he measures success by largenumbers. (l. 48)The teacher, seen in the role of the actor, would be simply lecturing to an audience, who do not participate, and he would evaluate his performance not by their involvement in classactivities, but by the size of the class.4.The mountaineer accepts his leadership role, yet recognizes that the success of the journey(measured by the scaling of the heights) depends upon close cooperation and active participation by each member of the group. (ll.76-78)The mountaineer allows the guide to lead the way, and is well aware, too, that whether they can climb to the top is decided by how well each member can cooperate with the others and how far each member is ready to involve himself in the endeavor.5.Essential skills must be mastered if the trip is to be successful; lacking them, disaster loomsas an ominous possibility. (ll. 79-80)For a good journey, basic skills form an indispensable part, without which one is likely to encounter misfortune.。

They rise out of the earth, they sweat and starve for a few years, and then they sink back into the nameless mounds of the graveyard.They are born. Then for a few years they work, toil and starve. Finally they die and are buried in graves without a name.4.

Still, a white skin is always fairly conspicuous.However, a white-skinned European is always quite noticeable.8. In a tropical landscape one’s eye takes in everything except the human beings.If you take a look at the natural scenery in a tropical region, you see everything but the human beings.9. No one would think of running cheap trips to the Distressed Areas.No one would think of organizing cheap trips for the tourists to visit the poor slum areas (for these trips 42V.Ⅵ.Ⅶ. would not be interesting).10.for nine-tenths of the people the reality of life is an endless, back-breaking struggle to wring a little food out of an eroded soil.life is very hard for ninety percent of the people.With hard backbreaking toil they can produce a little food on the poor soil.11.She accepted her status as an old woman, that is to say as a beast of burden.She took it for granted that as an old woman she was the lowest in the community,that。

(完整版)高英2的问题的答案

(完整版)⾼英2的问题的答案Lesson11.What, according to the writer,makes good conversation?what spoils it?A good conversation does not really start from anywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go. A good conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argumentis not to convince. When people become serious and talk as if they have something very important to say, whenthey argue to convince or to win their point, the conversation is spoilt.2. Why does the writer like “bar conversation” so much?The writer likes bar conversation very much because he has spent a lot of time in pubs and is usedto this kind of conversation. Bar friends are companions, not intimates. They are friends but not intimateenough to be curious about each other's private life and thoughts.3.Does a good conversation need a focal subject?No. Conversation does not need a focus. But when a focal subject appears in the natural flow of conversation,the conversation becomes vivid, lively and more interesting.4. Why did people in the pub talk about Australia?Why did the conversation turn to Norman England?The people talked about Australia because the speaker who introduced the subject mentioned incidentallythat it was an Australian who had given her such a definition of "the King's English. " When the people talkedabout the resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for "Englishas it should be spoken", the conversation moved to Norman England because at that time a language barrierexisted between the Saxon peasants and the Norman conquerors.5. How does the use of words show class distinction?The Saxon peasants and their Norman conquerors used different words for the same thing. For examples see paragraph 9.6. When was “the King’s English” regarded as a form of racial discrimination in England?The King’s English” was regarded as a form 0f racial discrimination during the Norman rule in Englandabout 1154—1399.7.What is the attitude of the writer towards “the King’s English”?The writer thinks “the King’s English” is a class representation of reality.1t is worth trying to speak“the King’s English”,but it should not be 1aid down as an edict,and made immune to change from below.The King’s English is a model a rich and instructive one- but it ought not to be an ultimatum.8.What does the writer mean when he says, “the King’s English,like the Anglo-French of the Normans,is aclass representation of reality?During the Norman period,the ruling class spoke Anglo— French while the peasants spoke their native Saxon language.Language bears the stamp of the class that uses it.The King’s English today refers to the languageused by the upper,educated class in England.Lesson21 Like other good writers,Orwll is good at showing rather than telling what details or examples does the writer use to showhow poor the natives in Marrakech were.Beyond choice of words and imagery ,Orwell successfully depicts the poverty of the inhabitants of Marrakech by describing objectively the various aspects of their life. His vivid objective descriptions give the reader a clear picture of the poverty of the people.Here are five things he describes to show poverty- (a) the burial of the poor inhabitants (b)an Arab Navvy, an employee of the municipality, begging for a piece of bread (c)the miserable lives of the Jews in the ghettoes~ (d)cultivation of the poor soil; (e) the old women carrying firewood.2. What’s the main idea of paragraphs 1-2?How were people buried in Marrakech? What does this show?In these two paragraphs, Orwell tells us how people are buried in Marrakech—the crowd of mourners wailing a chant, corpses wrapped in a piece of rag, carried on a rough wooden bier, friends hacking a shallow hole, throwing the body in it, flinging some dried—up earth over it, no grave stone. All these show a vivid picture of the poverty of the place.3. What was the Jewish quarter like in Marrakech? How were the Jew treated in this country?Under the rulers of the Moorish empire, Jews in Marrakech were only allowed to own land in certain areas. As a result, the streets are very narrow, houses overcrowded and completely without windows. The people have been made to live in such crowded places for so 1ong that they have become used to this kind of overcrowding; since they can expect nothing better, they no longer bother about it. The Jews was an oppressed minority in this colonial country. Their fate was even worse than that of the natives.4. What does the writer describe in Paragraph 10?Every one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a piece of luxury which they could not possibly afford.5. What did the Arabs and poorer Europeans think of the Jews? How does the writer respond to the remarks about the Jews?The Arabs think the Jews only pretend to work as a poor laborer. They are in reality very rich for they control everything. The writer knew the Jews were now being condemned by prejudice and ignorance as some poor old women who cou1d not even get themselves a decent meal were condemned and burned for witchcraft.6. What kind of people ,according to Orwell,are partly invisible?Why dose he stress this point?Those who work with their hands are partly invisible. It’s only because of this th at the starved countries of Asia and Africa are accepted as tourist resorts. The people are not treated as human beings, and it is on this fact that all colonial empires are in reality founded.Lesson 31. Why dose Kennedy say that the world is very difficult now?What differences does he have in mind?Kennedy thinks the world is different now because man has made great progress in science and technology and has not only the power (scientific farming, speedy transportation, mass production, etc. ) to abolish poverty, but also thepower(missiles,H_bombs,etc.)to destroy all forms of human life.I agree with him.2. What belief is still at issue around the globe according to him?According to Kennedy,the belief still at issue around the globe is the belief that all man are created equal and God has given them certain inalienable rights which no state or ruler can take away from them.3. Name some of the old allies of the United States whose cultural and spiritual origins the United States share. These old allies are :Britain,Canada,Australia,New Zealand.and in a wider sense one may also include France.4. Whom does Kennedy consider as friends and whom as foes.Kennedy considers as friends:a)the old allies of the U.S., such as Britain,Canada,Australia,New Zealand and the western European countries; b) the countries in South America and;c)many of the developing countries in Asia and Africa that rely on U.S.aid.He considers all socialist countries as foes(all that time the socialist camp headed by the Soviet Union)and those developing countries preparing to take the socialist road.5. Who are those peoples in huts and villages? Why does Kennedy want to help them?The poor people in backward developing countries in Africa and Asia. Because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor,it cannot save the few who are rich.6. What is his stated policy towards Latin America?The stated policy of Kennedy towards Latin America is summed up in the phrase “alliance for progress”.Kennedy pledged to take concrete steps to assist these governments and people in casting off the chains of poverty.7. Sum up the policy Kennedy says he intends to pursue towards those nations whom he considers to be “our adversary”. Kennedy’s policy towards “his adversary” is n egotiation from a position of strength.The U.S.must first be strong enough to deter her adversary. From this strong position of absolute military superiority Kennedy proposes negotiating with the socialist camp(or the Soviet Union)on the following problems:a) arms control,b) cooperation in the fields ofscience,technology,arts and commerce,c)a new world system.8. What is his message to his fellow citizens? What does he mean by “a long twilight struggle”?He calls on his fellow—Americans to make new sacrifices.to do what his country calls on him to do. He should be prepared to sacrifice everything,even his life if necessary, to defend freedom,to wage constant war againsttyranny,poverty,disease and war.The“long twilight struggle”is not a hot war but a consta nt,persevering fight against tyranny,poverty,disease and the threat of war.Lesson 41.Can you find any evidence to support the view that the writer is satirizing a bright but self-satisfied youngman?The whole story is satirizing a smug, self-conceited freshman in a law school. The freshman is made the narrator of the story who goes on smugly boasting and singing praises of himself at every chance he could get. From the very beginning in paragraph 4, he begins to heap on himself all the beautiful words of praise he can think of such as “cool, powerful, precise and penetrating”,etc.At the same time the narrator takes every opportunity to downgrade Petey Bureh. For example, he calls him "dumb", "nothing upstairs ", "'unstable ", "impressionable" and "'a faddist ".And as for Polly Espy, she is "a beautiful dumb girl", who would smarten up under his guidance. It proves to be a big irony for the narrator when the dumb girl goes back to her former dumb boyfriend Petey Burch,just because the latter has a raccoon coat.2.Why does the narrator consider Petey Burch dumb as an ox?The narrator considers Petey Burch dumb as an ox because he thinks Petey to be unintelligent, an emotional and impressionable type of person. However, Petey’ s worst fault is that he is a faddi st, he is swept up in every new craze that comes along.3.What kind of girl is Polly? Why does the narrator teach Polly Espy logic?Polly is beautiful and gracious. He decided to teach Polly Espy logic because he wanted not only a beautiful wife but also an intelligent one. The narrator wanted a wife who would help to further his career as a lawyer. He found Polly had all the necessary qualities except intelligence. This he decided to remedy by teaching her logic.4.What does Dicto Simpliciter mean? How does the narrator explain it to Polly?The fallacy of "Dicto Simpliciter" is committed by an argument that applies a general rule to a particular case in which some special circumstances ("accident") makes the rule inapplicable. The narrator shows it with the example: Exercise is good. Therefore everybody should exercise." In fact, “Exercise is good” is an unqualified generalization. For instance, if you have heart disease, exercise is bad, not good. Many people are ordered by their doctors not to exercise. You must qualify the generalization. You must say exercise is usually good, or exercise is good for most people.5.What does Post Hoc mean? What example does the narrator give? What is Polly’s first reaction to this argument? The fallacy of Post Hoc mislocates the cause of one phenomenon in another that is only seemingly related. The most common version of this fallacy mistakes temporal sequence for causal connection. The narrator gives an example: Let’s take Bill on our picnic. Every time we take him out with us, it rains." She remembers a girl back home--Eula Becker. Every single time we take her on a picnic it rains.6.What does Contradictory Premises mean? What example does the narrator give? Is Polly confused? Contradictory Premises means the premises of an argument contradict each other.The narrator gives an example of Contradictory Premises: If God can do anything, can He make a stone so heavy that He won't be able to lift it?" Yes, Polly is confused.7.What does Ad Misericordiam mean? What example is given to explain this fallacy? How does Polly respond tothe example? What does it show about her?The fallacy of Ad Misericordiam is committed when the conclusion changes the point that is at issue in the premises, such as, when a trial lawyer, rather than arguing for his client's innocence, tries to move the jury to sympathy for him. The narrator gives the example of a man applying for a job. When the boss asks him what his qualifications are, he replies that he has a wife and six children at home, the wife is a helpless cripple, the children have nothing to eat, no clothes to wear, no shoes on their feet, there are no beds in the house, no coal in the cellar, and winter is coming." Polly is moved to tears by the poverty and misery of the worker. She is a simple, nice girl with the right feminine emotions.8.What is False Analogy? What is Poisoning the Well?False Analogy is committed when the two items don't have strong enough similarities to predict that what happens in one will happen in the other.Poisoning the Well means people speak against the man rather than to the issue. The premises may only make a personal attack on a person who holds some thesis, instead of offering grounds showing why what he says is false9.Why does the narrator say, “I was not Pygmalion; I was Frankenstein”? (Para.135)Because he begged Polly's love and was refused. He might get the same result as Frankenstein, who created a monster that destroyed him, not as Pygmalion, who was loved by his own statue of Galatea.Lesson 51.Why were the younger generation of the1920s thought to be wild?The younger generation of the 1920s were thought to be wild because they visited speakeasies, denouced Puritan morality, experimented in armour in the parked sedan on a country road,etc. (See para. 1).2.Was there a revolt of the younger generation at that time? How did it manifest itself?"Yes" and "no Yes" because the business of growing up is always accompanied by a Younger Generation Problem, "no" because all their actions can now be seen in perspective as being something considerably less sensational than the degeneration of jazz mad youth.3.What does the writer mean by “the pattern of escape”?(para.4)All the activities mentioned above were means to help the young people to escape their more serious responsibilities of changing society and most young people went in for these activities. It became a general pattern of behavior.4.How did World War I affect the younger generation?The war whipped up their energies but destroyed their naivete. It made them cynical. They could not adapt themselves into postwar society so they rebelled and tried to overthrow completely the gentel standards of behavior.5.In what ways did Greenwich Village set the pattern for the revolt of the younger generation of the 1920s?Intellectuals and non-intellectuals began to imitate the pattern of life set by those living in Greenwich Village.These people lived a Bohemian and eccentric life. They defied the law and flouted all social conventions. They attacked the war, Babbittry, and "Puritanical" gentility.6.What new philosophy were the young intellectuals trying to preach?These young intellectuals wanted America to become more sensitive to art and culture, less avid for material gain, and less susceptible to standardization.7 Why did many young intellectuals of this period immigrate to Europe?They emigrated to Europe because there "they do things better" than in the United States where people only care for money and wealth. Only in Europe will they be able to find remedy for their sensitive minds.8Why was this group of writers called the “lost generation”? were they really lost according to the authors?They were called the "lost generation" by Gertrude Stein because they were troubled and worried and had emigrated to Europe. But they were never really lost for they finally returned to America and produced the liveliest, freshest, most stimulating works in America's literay experience.。

Study the model given below. Then read the next two paragraphs and show how coherence and unity is improved by the use, of transitional devices.Model: But this is only one aspect of the problem. Another, no less essential, is the wider gap between generations since the rate of social development has speeded up. The tastes and habits of young people today differ markedly from those of the young people of the thirties, let alone of the twenties. Still influenced by the tastes and habits of their own youth, the "fathers" are inclined to think these habits and tastes are absolutes and to deny their children the right to independent creativity which they demanded from their own parents. Hence the artificial conflicts, in which a dance or the width of trousers is elevated to the dignity of crucial issues. The writer uses the following transitional devices:1) Transitional words and expressionsbut another still hence2) Pronoun referencethose their these they3) Repetition of important wordstastes and habits young people1. And since we (teenagers) are so new, many people have some very wrong ideas about us. For instance, the newspapers are always carrying advice-columns telling our mothers how to handle us, their "bewildered maladjusted offspring, " and the movies portray us as half-witted bops (hoodlums-ed. ); and in the current best sellers, authors recall their own confused, unhappy youth. On the other hand, speakers tell us that these teen-years are the happiest and freest of our lives, or hand us the "leaders of tomorrow, forge on the future" line. The general opinion is that teen-agers are either car-stealing, dope-taking delinquents, or immature, weepy adolescents with nothing on our minds but boys (or girls as the case may be ). Most adults have one or two attitudes toward the handling of teens--some say that only a sound beating will keep us in line; others treat us as mentally unbalanced creatures on the brink of insanity, who must be pampered and shielded at any cost.2. As of today, I am fed up with the food served in the campus dining hall. My disenchantment started in September---the day I bit into a hamburger to find myself staring at a long strand of grey hair that trailed out of the meat, through the mayonnaise, and over the edge of the bun. After that, I was not much surprised by the little things I came across in October and November: bugs in the salad and bobby pin in the meatloaf, for example. Then in December the food was worse--and a little dirtier. For Christmas dinner, for in- stance, the cook gave me a thin slice of rolled turkey, straight out of the can, and dished up a cock-roach in my pudding. Even that was excusable (nobody is perfect), but what happened today is not" I had already eaten most of my clam chowder before I found it, at the bottom of the bowl, nestled among the diced potatoes and the chopped onions: one band-aid, slightly used.XIII. Topics for oral work:1. In your opinion, what makes or spoils a good conversation?2. Is spoken English different from written English? In what ways are they different?XIV. Write a short composition describing some of the peculiarities of spoken EnglishPub Talk and the King's English 课后练习题答案Ⅰ .1. Carlyle : Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), English essayist and historian born at Ecclefechan,a village of the Scotch lowlands. After graduating from the University of Edinburgh, he rejected the ministry, for which he had been intended, and determined to he a writer of hooks. In 1826 he married Jane Welsh, a well-informed and ambitious woman who did much to further his career. They moved to Jane' s farm at Craigenputtoeh where they lived for 6 years (1828-1834 ). During this time he produced Sartor Resartus (1833-1834), a book in which he first developed his char- acteristic style and thought. This book is a veiled sardonic attack upon the shams and pretences of society, upon hollow rank, hollow officialism, hollow custom, out of which life and usefulness have departed. In 1837 he published The French Revolution, a poetic rendering and not a factual account of the great event in history. Besides these two masterpieces, he wrote Chartism (1840), On Heroes, hero Worship, and the Heroic in History (I841), Past and Present (1843) and others. "Carlylese", a peculiar style of his own, was a compound of biblical phrases, col loquialisms, Teutonic twists, and his own coinings, arranged in unexpected sequences. One of the most important social critics of his day, Carlyle influenced many men of the younger generation, among them were Mathew Arnold and Ruskin.2. Lamb : Charles Lamb (1775-1834), English essayist, was born in London and brought up within the precincts of the ancient law courts, his father being a servant to an advocate of the inner Temple. He went to school at Christ's Hospital, where he had for a classmate Coleridge, his life-long friend. At seventeen, he became a clerk in the India House and here he worked for 33 years until he was re-tired on a pension. His devotion to his sister Mary, upon whom rested an hereditary taint of insanity, has done al-most as much as the sweetness and gentle humor of his writings to endear his name. They collaborated on several books for children, publishing in 1867 their famous Tales from Shakespeare. His dramatic essays, Specimens of English Dramatic Poets (1808), established his reputation as a critic and did much in reviving the popularity of Eliza-be then drama. The Essays of Ella, published at intervals in London Magazine, were gathered together and republished in two series, the first in 1823, the second ten years later. They established Lamb in the title which he still holds, that of the most delightful of English essayists.Ⅱ.1.A good conversation does not really start from anywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go. A good conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument is not to convince. When people become serious and talk as if they have something very important to say, when they argue to convince or to win their point, the conversation is spoilt.2. The writer likes bar conversation very much because he has spent a lot of time in pubs and is used to this kind of conversation. Bar friends are companions, not intimates. They are friends but not intimate enough to be curious about each other's private life and thoughts.3. No. Conversation does not need a focus. But when a focal subject appears in the natural flow of conversation, the conversation becomes vivid, lively and more interesting.4. The people talked about Australia because the speaker who introduced the subject mentioned incidentally that it was an Australian who had given her such a definition of "the King's English. " When the people talked about the resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for "English as it should be spoken", the conversation moved to Norman England because at that time a language barrier existed between the Saxon peasants and the Norman conquerors.5. The Saxon peasants and their Norman conquerors used different words for the same thing. For examples see paragraph 9.6. The writer seems to be in favor of bilingual education. He is against any form of cultural barrier or the cultural humiliation of any section or group of people.7. The term "the Queen's English" was used in 1953 by Nash because at that time the reigning monarch was a queen, Elizabeth I. The term "the King's English" is the more common form because the ruling monarch is generally a king. Those who are not very particular may use the term "the King's English", even when the ruling monarch is a queen. In 1602, Dekker used the term "the King's English", although the reigning monarch was still Queen Elizabeth.8.“The King’s English” was regarded as a form 0f racial discrimination during the Norman rule in England about 1154—1399.9.The writer thinks “the King’s English” is a class representation of reality.1t is worth trying to speak “the King’s English”,but it should not be 1aid down as an edict,and made immune to change from below.The King’s English is a model a rich and instructive one- but it ought not to be an ultimatum.10.During the Norman period,the ruling class spoke Anglo— French while the peasants spoke their native Saxon language.Language bears the stamp of the class that uses it.The King’s English today refers to the language used by the upper,educated class in England.Ⅲ.1.The title of this piece is not well chosen.It misleads the readers into thinking that the writer is going to demonstrate some intrinsic or linguistic relationship between pub talk and the King’s English.Whereas the writer.in reality,is just discoursing on what makes good conversation.The King’s English is connected with “pub talk” when the writer describes the charming conversation he had with some people one evening in a pub on the topic “the King’s English” to illustrate his point that bar conversation in a pub has a charm of its own.2.1n this essay the writer alluded to many historical and literary event such as the Norman conquest,the saloons of 18th century Paris,and the words of many a man of letters.For a short expository essay like this,the allusions used are more than expected and desirable.3.Paragraph 5 is a transition paragraph by means of which the writer passes from a general discourse on good conversation to a particular instance of it.But one feels the change from “pub talk” to “the King's English” a bit too abrupt.4.The simple idiomatic expressions like "to be on the rocks,out of bed on the wrong side,etc.”may be said to go well with the copious literary and historical allusions the writer used for an informal conversational style to Suit the theme of this essay in which the writer tries to defend informal uses of language.5.The writer’s attitude towards “the King’s English” shows that he is a defender of democracy.Ⅳ.1.And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings. (Animals and birds are not capable of conversation.)2.Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view.3.In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view.4.People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other’s lives.5.The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong.6.These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields;but when we sit down at the table to eat.we call their meat beef.7.The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers.8.The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more.9.The phrase, the King’s English, has always been used disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes. The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.10.There still exists in the working people, as in the early Saxon peasants, a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.11.There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent. For example, the word “dog” is a symbol representing a kind of animal. We mustn’t regard the word “dog” as being the animal itself.12.Even the most educated and literate people do not use standard, formal English all the time in their conversation.V.See the translation of the text.Ⅵ·1. on the rocks:metaphor,comparing a marriage to a ship wrecked on the rocks2.get out of bed on the wrong side: be in a bad temper for the day (The meaning is perhaps derived from the expression “You got out of bed the wrong way”. It was an ancient superstition that it was unlucky to set the left foot on the ground first on getting out of bed.) 3.on wings:metaphor,comparing conversation to a bird flying and soaring.It means the conversation soon became spirited and exciting.4.turn up one’s nose at:scorn;show scorn for5.into the shoes:metaphor(or more appropriately an idiomatic expression),think as if one were wearing the shoes of the Saxon peasant,i.e.as if one were a Saxon peasant6 come into one’s own:receive what properly belongs to one,especially acclaim or recognition657.sit up at:(colloquial)become suddenly alert and take notice ofⅦ.1.ignorant指缺乏知识,可以是就整体而言(如an ignorant man),也可以是就某一具体方面或问题而言(如ignorant of the reason of their quarrel对他们争吵的起因毫无所知);illiterate意为缺乏文化修养,尤指读写能力的缺乏;uneducated指没有受到正规的、系统的学校教育;unlearned意为学问不富(未必无知),既可指一无所长,又可指某一方面所知有限,如unlearned in science,意为对科学懂得有限,但对其他学科,如文学、哲学等,倒可能是很精通的。
