大学英语部分课后练习答案及课文译文
课后练习Part Four: Pick up Y our Grammar 参考答案Unit 11. B解析:在时间、条件状语从句中,往往用一般现在时来表示将来的动作,可以排除A、C 和D。
根据题意,选择“除非你来帮我,否则我恐怕完不成工作”更合情理,所以答案为B。
2. B解析:本句的意思是说“地面干了时候我们就可以走了。
”,这个句子有强调干了后的意思,要用完成时,所以只有B正确。
3. C解析:主语your hand是单数形式,谓语动词也应选择单数形式,可以排除A。
表示主语具有的特征、状态时应用一般现在时,可以排除B。
表示某物给人以某种感觉时应用主动语态,所以选C。
意为“过来坐在火边。
你的手很凉”。
4. B解析:主语various programs是复数,应选择复数的谓语动词;而主语world news是单数,要对应单数的谓语动词。
这样可以排除A和D。
节目应该是被播出,所以我们应该选择被动语态,故答案为B。
意为“电视上播出各种节目,世界新闻最受欢迎”。
5. C解析:根据时间状语now,可以判断是正在发生的事情。
所以此句应选择现在进行时,答案为C。
意为“我找不到我的字典,我想是否玛丽正在使用它。
”6. A解析:时间状语only a few minutes表示“我在这儿等了一段时间了”,这个动作从过去发生一直延续到现在,应用现在完成时。
所以答案为A,意为“---对不起让你久等了。
---噢,没关系,我刚来几分钟”。
7. A解析:谓语动词taste表示主语it具有的特征、状态,应用一般现在时,可以排除B和D。
表示某物尝起来怎么样应用主动语态,所以选A。
意为“我必须吃这药吗?尝着太苦了”。
8. D解析:动词表示普遍事实和客观真理时,应用一般现在时。
“地球是圆的”是一个客观事实,所以应选D,不管主句是什么时态。
意为“当我小的时候,我的老师告诉我地球是圆的”。
9. B解析:时间状语for a few days表示“雪已经下了好几天了”,根据上下文可知最近一直在下雪。

新编大学英语4(第二版)Unit 1-Unit 6单元 课文翻译及课后答案详解
课内阅读参考译文及课后习题答案(Book 4)Unit 1享受幽默—什么东西令人开怀?1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心,古今中外都一样。
这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。
那么,到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢?2 我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人,因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。
这些学生文化差异很大,有来自拉丁美洲的,也有来自中国的。
我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。
这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。
3 为什么听我讲完一个笑话后,班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合,而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢?显然,有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。
而且,我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话,而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。
我们都听人说过这样的话:―我喜欢笑话,但我讲不好,也总是记不住。
‖有些人比别人更有幽默感,就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。
一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲,而且讲了一个笑话,就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。
一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的人。
一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱,而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。
这么说是有道理的。
4 甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。
我岳母从前经常来我们家,并能住上很长一段时间。
通常她不喜欢狗,但却很喜欢布利茨恩—我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。
而且,她们的这种喜欢是相互的。
布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母,当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时,布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室,并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去,一直逗到外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。
外祖母从椅子上一起来,布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子,从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑,无疑是在说:―啊哈,你又上了我的当。
‖5 典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。
第一部分是铺垫(即背景),接下来是主干部分(即故事情节),随后便是妙语(即一个出人意料或令人惊讶的结尾)。

大学英语第三版第二册课后翻译练习参考答案说课讲解
新视野读写教程第三版第二册读写教程课后翻译参考答案第一单元英译中English is known as a world language, regularly used by many nations whose English is not their first language. Like other languages, English has changed greatly. The history of the English language can be divided into three main periods: Old English, Middle English and Modern English. The English language started with the invasion of Britain by three Germanic tribes during the 5th century AD, and they contributed greatly to the formation of the English language. During the medieval and early modern periods, the influence of English spread throughout the British Isles, and from the early 17th century its influence began to be felt throughout the world. The processes of European exploration and colonization for several centuries led to significant change in English. Today, American English is particularly influential, due to the popularity of American cinema, television, music, trade and technology, including the Internet.人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言,经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。
大学英语(2)部分课后练习答案及课文译文
解析:过去分词短语相当于一个定语从句,与主语的逻辑关系为被动关 系,相当于“which is founded”。整个句子的意思是:“创建于1951年的 国际研究大学是一所军事学院。”
10. C 解析:本题需要选择whose来充当关系代词,作定语修饰名词,相当于 所修饰成分的前置所有格。整个句子的意思是:“一个我不知道名字的 学生来看望我。”
3. D 解析:在4个选项中,除了as能够引导非限制性定语从句外,其余都不 可以。整个句子的意思是:“代表们提出了许多提议,这正是我们所希 望的。”
4. A 解析:因为one of前有定冠词the,所以定语从句应该是修饰one的,谓 语动词要用第三人称单数。整个句子的意思是:“玛丽是唯一要被转走 的队员。”
13. D 解析:句子的意思是:“这就是我所想告诉你的”。这是一个表语从 句,后面句子缺少一个作tell宾语的连接词,因此只能选择what。 14. C 解析:句子的意思是:“班里的同学们不理解这句话的意思是什 么。”疑问句作宾语从句时语序应该使用陈述句的语序,其他选项都不 是陈述句语序,故正确但为C。 15. B 解析:及物动词doubt后面缺少一个宾语,由于宾语部分已经完整,这 里只需要连词that起连接作用,而且在句子里不充当成分。句子的意思 是:“我们不怀疑他能做的很好。”
11. B 解析:第一个空需要选择when来引导定语从句表示时间,一般来讲表 示时间“time”一词的定语从句只用when引导。第二个空需要选择表示地 点的关系副词where来引导定语从句。整个句子的意思是:“人类在宇宙 中随心所欲自由飞翔的日子终归会到来。”
12. D 解析:本题考查判断关系代词和关系副词的区别。此时需要准确判断先 行词在定语从句中的成分(主、谓、宾、定、状)。在本题中所缺部分为 宾语,而where, that, on which都不能起到宾语的作用,只有the one既可 作主句的表语,又可作从句的宾语,更重要的是它可以省略关系代词。 整个句子的意思是:“这是你几天前参观的那家博物馆吗?”

The solar system consists of the Sun, eight planets, and their moons. The planets are divided into two main groups: the inner planets and the outer planets.The inner planets, also known as terrestrial planets, are closest to the Sun and are mainly made of rock. There are four inner planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets have relatively thin atmospheres and solid surfaces.The outer planets, also called gas giants, are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Unlike the inner planets, the outer planets are made mostly of gas and have thick atmospheres. Additionally, these planets have many moons orbiting around them.Moons are natural satellites that revolve around planets. They can be small or large, and some even exceed the size of the planet Mercury. Moons are not only found in our solar system, but also in other areas of the universe.Scientists have discovered numerous moons in our solar system. Jupiter, the largest planet, has the most moons with a total of 79. Some of these moons are well-known, such as Io, Europa, and Callisto. Saturn, thesecond-largest planet, has at least 82 moons, including Titan and Enceladus.

大英4课文翻译及课后题答案
Unit 1无名英雄:职业父亲意味着什么?在我们的孪生女儿出生后的第一次“约会”时,我和丈夫一起去看了一部名为《玩具故事》的电影。
我们很喜欢这部片子,但随后我丈夫问道:“父亲在哪儿呢?”起初我还认为因为一个小小的失误而批评一部很吸引人的家庭影片似乎是太偏狭了。
可后来越想越觉得这一疏忽太严重了。
父亲不仅没有出现,他甚至没有被提到——尽管家中有婴儿,说明他不可能离开太长时间。
影片给人的感觉是,父亲出现与否似乎是个极次要的细节,甚至不需要做任何解释。
新闻媒体倾向于把父亲的边缘化,这只是一个例子,它反映了在美国发生的巨大的社会变化。
大卫?布兰肯霍恩在《无父之国》一书中将这种倾向称之为“无需父亲”观念。
职业母亲(我想这应是与无职业母亲相对而言的)奋斗的故事从媒体上无尽无休地轰击着我们。
与此同时,媒体上绝大多数有关父亲的故事又集中表现暴力的丈夫或没出息的父亲。
看起来似乎父亲惟一值得人们提及的时候是因为他们做家务太少而受到指责的时候(我怀疑这一说法的可靠性,因为“家务”的定义中很少包括打扫屋顶的雨水沟、给汽车换机油或其它一些典型地由男人们做的事),或者是在他们去世的时候。
当布兰肯霍恩先生就“顾家的好男人”一词的词义对父亲们进行调查时,许多父亲都回答这一词语只有在葬礼上听到。
这种“无需父亲”综合症的一个例外是家庭全职父亲所受到的媒体的赞扬。
我并非暗指这些家庭全职父亲作出的承诺不值得人们的支持,我只是想指出在实际生效的双重标准:家庭全职父亲受到人们的赞扬,而家庭全职母亲和养家活口的父亲,所得到文化上的认同却很少,甚至完全得不到。
我们用来讨论父亲角色(即没出息的父亲)的话语本身就显示出人们对大多数男人默默无闻而自豪地履行对家庭承担的责任缺乏赏识。
我们几乎从来没听到“职业父亲”这一说法,在人们呼吁应该考虑给予工作者在工作地点上更大的灵活性时,很少有人认为这种呼吁不但适用于女子,同样也适应于男子。
我们这个社会表现出似乎家庭职责对父亲来说并不象对母亲那么重要——似乎事业上的满足就是男人生活的全部。

Unit1课文翻译本文是苹果计算机公司和皮克斯动画工作室的首席执行官史蒂夫·乔布斯于2005年6月12日在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿。
1 今天,我很荣幸能来到这所世界顶尖大学参加你们的毕业典礼。
我大学没有毕业。
说实话,现在是我最接近大学毕业的时刻。
我在里德学院读了6个月就退学了,但是作为旁听生又在那里待了18个月左右,然后才真正离开学校。
那么我为什么要退学呢?2 这要从我还没有出生的时候说起。
我的生母是个年轻未婚的研究生,因此她决定把我送给别人收养。
她觉得我必须由有大学学历的人收养。
于是,她安排好了一切,只要我一出生,就把我交给一位律师和他的妻子收养。
但是我出生之后,他们在最后一刻决定他们还是想要一个女孩。
当时我父母还在候补上,一天半夜他们接到一个,问他们:“有个新生儿,是意外怀上的,是个男孩,你们要吗?”他们回答:“当然要。
”但是,我的生母随后发现我母亲大学没有毕业,我父亲甚至连高中也没毕业,因此拒绝在最后几份领养文件上签字。
直到几个月后,我父母承诺将来一定让我上大学,她才同意了。
这就是我生命的开始。
3 17年后,我确实上了大学。
但是出于无知,我选了一所几乎与斯坦福一样昂贵的学校,因此,工薪阶层的父母把所有积蓄都花在了我的学费上。
6个月过去了,我看不到其中的价值所在。
我不知道我的人生定位,也不知道大学将如何帮我找到答案,而我正在这里耗尽父母一生的积蓄。
所以我决定退学,并相信一切都会顺利。
这在当时看来非常可怕,但现在回头看看,那是我做过的最棒的决定之一。
从退学的那一刻起,我就不用再上那些不感兴趣的必修课,而开始去学那些看上去更有意思的课程。
但一切也不全是这么美妙。
我没有自己的宿舍,只有在朋友的房间里打地铺;我拣可乐瓶子,把退来的5美分押金攒起来去买吃的;而到了每个周日晚上,我都会步行7英里,穿过城镇去克利须那觉悟会的庙宇饱餐一顿。
我喜欢这样。
我依照好奇心和直觉做事,大多事后证明是非常值得的。
让我给你们举个例子:当时里德学院开设可能在全国是最好的书法课程。
园里的每一海报、每一个抽屉的每标签上都有漂亮的书法。
4 因为我已经辍学,不用参加正规的课程,所以我决定去上这门课,学习书法。
我了解了衬线和无衬线字体,学会了如何在不同的字母组合间改变间距,知道了如何让大字体显得很漂亮。
这种科学所无法捕捉的、美妙的、充满历史感的微妙艺术,让我心醉神迷。
5 这一切在我的生活中是否实用,我不抱希望。
直到10年后,当我们在设计第一台麦金托什电脑时,我想起了这些东西。
于是,我们把所有这些都设计进了Mac机。
这是第一类拥有漂亮字体排版的电脑。
如果我没有在大学旁听那门课程,Mac就不会有多种字体以及间距分配合理的字型,很可能现在的微软PC也不会有这些字型——你们要知道,Windows也只是抄袭Mac,并非独创。
如果我从未退学,我就绝不会旁听那门书法课,而个人电脑可能也不会有现在这样美妙的字体排版。
在大学的时候,我当然不可能把这些点点滴滴都串起来展望未来。
但在十年后再回首,一切都变得非常、非常清晰。
6 同样,你们现在也无法预见这类琐碎的经历之间能有什么联系,只有在回首往事时才能发现。
你们要相信,这些片断会在未来以某种方式连接起来。
你们必须相信一些东西——勇气、命运、人生、因缘等等。
这个方法从未让我失望,也正是它改变了我的整个人生。
Questions on the text1. What did Steve Jobs do after he dropped out of Reed College?He stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before he really quit.2. What can we learn from Steve Jobs' narration about his biological mother?His biological mother was a young college graduate student when she gave birth toSteve Jobs as a single woman. She put up Steve Jobs for adoption, and felt strongly that her son should be adopted by college graduates and sent to college in the future.3. What kind of people were Steve Jobs' adoptive parents?His parents were a working-class couple without a college degree. His mother never graduated from college and his father never graduated from high school. However, they did send their adopted son to college as they had promised, and this cost them nearly all their savings.4. Why did Steve Jobs drop out of Reed College?Because he had no idea what he wanted to do with his life and no idea how college was going to help him figure it out. Besides, the college was so expensive that all of his parents' savings were being spent on his tuition.5. What did Steve Jobs think about his decision of dropping out? Why?He thought it was one of the best decisions he had ever made as he looked back on his past. After he dropped out, he didn't have to take the required classes and he had the opportunity to take classes that interested him. Much of what he learned in this way proved priceless later on.6. Why did Steve Jobs say his life as a drop-in in the college was not all romantic? Because he was living a shabby life during the 18 months: he didn't have a dorm room, so he slept on the floor in friends' rooms; he returned coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with; he would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple.7. What did Steve Jobs learn in the calligraphy class?He learned about serif and sanserif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great.8. What do you think the graduating students can learn from Steve Jobs' life experience?They might learn to trust in something—their gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. They might also learn to have the confidence to follow their heart even when off the beaten path.4B1. At first she threatened to dismiss us all, but later she relented.2. If you can't have children of your own, why not consider adoption?3. She sensed something wrong by intuition.4. She went to Cambridge on a scholarship but dropped out a year later.5. I fail to see what women find so fascinating about him.6. We would be delighted as well as honored if you could come and join us.7. We must work out a plan for cutting down the expenses.8. We may have a slim hope of making a bridge between them in the next two or three weeks.9. The Smiths adopted the orphan as their own son.10. I am going to quit my job and take a long vacation.7A1. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit.我在里德学院读了6个月就退学了,但是作为旁听生又在那里待了18个月左右,然后才真正离开学校。
