There follows an informal essay that ventures even beyond Lamb's frontier, indeed, "informal" may not be quite the right word to describe this essay; "limp" or " flaccid" or possibly "spongy" are perhaps more appropriate.查尔斯.兰姆是一个百年难遇的性情欢快、富有进取心的人。

张汉熙版《高级英语》第二册 lesson 1 课后练习答案习题全解I.Las Vegas. Las Vegas city is the seat of Clark County in South Nevada. In 1970 it had a population of 125,787 people. Revenue from hotels, gambling, entertainment and other tourist-oriented industries forms the backbone of Las Vegas's economy, Its nightclubs and casinos are world famous. 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.以下内容需要回复才能看到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. His present house was 23 feet above sea level and 250 yards away from the sea. He thought they would be safe here as in any place else. 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. This would help to encourage each other and enable them to face death with greater serenity.5.John Koshak felt a crushing guilt because it was he who made the final decision to stay and face the hurricane. Now it seemed they might all die in the hurricane.6.Grandmother Koshak asked the children to sing because she thought this would lessen tension and boost the morale of everyone.7.Janis knew that John was trying his best to comfort and encourage her for he too felt there was a possibility of their dying in the storm.Ⅲ.1.This piece of narration is organized as follows. .introduction, development, climax, and conclusion. The first 6 paragraphs areintroductory paragraphs, giving the time, place, and background of the conflict-man versus hurricanes. These paragraphs also introduce the characters in the story.2. The writer focuses chiefly on action but he also clearly and sympathetically delineates the characters in the story.3. John Koshak, Jr. , is the protagonist in the story.4. Man and hurricanes make up the conflict.5. The writer builds up and sustains the suspense in the story by describing in detail and vividly the incidents showing how the Koshaks and their friends struggled against each onslaught of the hurricane.6. 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. We can make the necessary preparations and survive the hurricane without much damage.4. Water got into the generator and put it out. It stopped producing electricity, so the lights also went out.5. Everybody go out through the back door and run to the cars.6. The electrical systems in the car had been put out by water.7. As John watched the water inch its way up the steps, he felt a strong sense of guilt because he blamed himself for endangering the whole family by deciding not to flee inland.8. ()h God, please help us to get through this storm safely.9. Grandmother Koshak sang a few words alone and then her voice gradually grew dimmer and stopped.10. Janis displayed rather late the exhaustion brought about by the nervous tension caused by the hurricane.Ⅴ.See the translation of the text.Ⅵ.1. main: a principal pipe or line in a distributing system for water, gas, electricity, etc.2.sit out: stay until the end ofe by;(American English) pay a visit4.blow in:burst open by the storm.5.douse:put out(a light,fire,generator。

States.Located primarily in Wyoming,the park hosts millions of visitors every year.If you plan to travel within the park,keep in mind the advice from the National Park Service.Seasonal TravelTravel varies vastly from season to season.Roads are generally open in the summer except for cases of rock or mud slides,wild fires,accidents or road construction.Early snows in the fall can cause some roads to close temporarily.In the winter almost all roads are closed to motor vehicles,but snowmobiles and other snow vehicles with tracks are allowed.Roads begin to open in the spring by the latter part of April but may close if snowfall continues.Driving TimeGrand Loop Road is the main road through Yellowstone National Park,and it passes by most of the major attractions.These include Old Faithful,Yellowstone Lake and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.The maximum speed limit on the Grand Loop is 45 miles per hour,but the speed limit drops during some of the winding and twisty sections of this narrow road.Allow yourself at least two days to fully travel the loop due to the size of the park and occasionally heavy traffic.Safety AwarenessBuffaloes often block the roads in the park as they migrate through the fields.If a herd is travelling across the road you are on,you can either wait for them to pass or find an alternative route.If you get out of your vehicle,you should stay at least 25 yards from any buffalo (and 100 yards or more away from bears and wolves).Buffaloes are particularly unpredictable and charge towards people at a speed of up to 30 mph.You can take your bicycle on any public roads and routes designed for bikes,but bicycles are not allowed on the park roads which are narrow with few shoulders.Elevations range from 5,300 to 8,860 feet.The National Park Service recommends that cyclists wear helmets and noticeable clothing.1.What do we know about travelling in the Yellowstone Park?A.Roads will stay open in spite of emergency.B.Traffic jam is actually a rare thing.C.The driving speed on the road can be 50 mph.D.Motor vehicles are allowed in the winter.2.What safety advice does the National Park Service offer?A.Under no circumstances could you get out of the car.B.Keep going forward when coming across buffaloes.C.Do wear easy-to-see clothes while bicycling.D.Bicycling is forbidden on the public roads.3.Where can you probably find this article?A.In a guidebook.B.In a geography textbook.C.In a research paper.D.In a commercial advertisement.B主题语境:虚拟旅游语篇类型:说明文World travel has moved on to a new level as new websites spring up to enable travellers to plan their trips online.Virtual (虚拟的) tourism is the latest name of the game and although relatively new,has seen some tourism websites grow to host over one million users.Typically,this development features a website that contains the answers to almost any tourism question.Tips and information are not provided by a single source,such as the website host,but rather from travellers themselves—often in the thousands.This has proven to be exceptionally beneficial for would-be travellers who are seeking information on questions such as where to find the best museum orbeach,whether it is better to tour Brussels with a bicycle or on foot and which exchange rate bureaus are available in Italy.Questions about food and restaurants,tourist spots,safety,accommodation,and others are all answered.In addition,posted tips promote better preparation,such as what to pack when heading for Sicily.Apart from the useful advice,visual images and virtual tours have also been made available.If you’d like to visit the Eiffel Tower,it’s a good idea to view the surrounding areas,to pick a safer train route or to know that it’s very close to the Seine River and that a walk along it would enhance the experience.Virtual tours have sprung up globally.In South Africa,John Gore established the Virtual Tour Guide in November last year.On his blog,Gore was quoted as saying,“The world is panoramic (全景的).We are able to turn our heads and look in all directions and get a feel for where we are,but the photograph cannot show or describe that experience completely.”It is technology that makes it possible to share the world around us in a 360-degree way,which really makes the viewer feel as though he or she were really there.4.Why is virtual tourism more and more popular?A.Online games are more and more attractive.B.Many new websites appear and develop fast.C.More and more people want to travel abroad.D.It helps travellers save as much money as possible.5.What does the underlined phrase “spring up” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean?A.Appear.B.Move.pete.D.Reduce.6.From the second paragraph,we know .A.we can solve any problem on websitesB.websites offer all the tips and informationC.we can get all our questions answered onlineD.we can get many tips about tourism on websites7.What’s the main purpose of the passage?A.To introduce the history of virtual tourism.B.To give some advice on virtual tourism online.C.To attract more tourists to travel to the world.D.To teach us how to establish a website online.参考答案Unit4JOURNEY ACROSSA VAST LANDSection A Reading and

高级英语(D1002001) > 看看课程文档> ADVANCED ENGLISH BOOK II > UNIT 4 INAUGURAL ADDRESS > 第四单元习题答案第四单元习题答案第四单元习题答案Ⅰ.John F. Kennedy(1917--1963),35th President of the United StatesA. His family backgroundJohn Kennedy, whose ancestors came from Ireland, was the first Roman Catholic to become president of the United States. At 43 he was also the youngest man ever elected to the highest office of his country, although he was not the youngest to serve in it. Theodore Roosevelt was not quite 43 when the assasination of President McKinley elevated him to the Presidency. John Fitzgerald Francis Kennedy was born on May 29,1917, in Brookline, Massachusetts. Brookline was the suburb of Boston where his grandfather had been elected to many public offices. Joseph P. Kennedy, father of the future presi- dent, was at 25 the youngest bank president in the country. He was to build one of the great private fortunes of his time. He and Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy raised a family of nine children. John was the second born.When the first Kennedy child, Joseph, Jr. , was born, father Joe was reported to have said, "He' 11 be the first Kennedy to become president of the United States. " But he was killed while piloting a bomber in World War Ⅱ, and the leadership of the rising Kennedy generation passed to John.Thus young John Kennedy, often called Jack, inherited a background of polities, wealth and determination. The family circle was close and warm. The boys learned competition first in sports. They played hard to win, a family trait in sports and politics all their lives. Young Kennedy attended private schools in Brookline and New York City; and then, in 1931, he entered Choate School, in Wallingford, Connecticut to prepare for college. Young Kennedy, after a short spell at the London School of Economics and Princeton, entered Harvard. In 1940 he graduated from Harvard cure laude.B. His political career and election as presidentIn 1945 the Hearst newspapers hired Kennedy to cover the United Nations preliminary conference in San Francisco. He covered the British elections that year, then decided he had had enough of journalism. He did not know whether he would like politics, but decided to try it. In 1946 he ran for Congress as a Democrat, in a Boston district. Though he did not live there, Kennedy, by hard compaigning, defeated a large field of rivals. He was re-elected twice. Then he tried for election to the United States Senate against Republican Henry Cabot Lodge, who was supposed to be unbeatable in Massachusetts. It was a big Republican year in 1952, in Massachusetts and elsewhere, but Jack Kennedy beat Lodge by 70,000 votes.On September 12, 1953, Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier were married at Newport, Rhode Island. They had three children—Caroline; John, Jr. , whom his father called John-John; and Patrick Bouvier, who lived but a few days.Kennedy missed being nominated for vice-president by a few votes in 1956. But he gained an introduction to millions of Americans who watched the Chicago Democratic Convention on television. When he decided to run for president in1960, his name was widely known. Many thought that his religion and his youthful appearance would handicap him. Kennedy faced the religion issue frankly. He declared his firm belief in the separation of church and state. Hiswealth enabled him to assemble a staff and to get around the country in a private plane.Kennedy’s four television debates with Republican candidate, Richard M. Nixon, were a highlight of the 1960 campaign. The debates probably were important in Kennedy’s close victory electoral votes to 219 for Nixon. The popular vote was breathtakingly close Kennedy received only18,574 more votes than Nixon--a fraction of 1 precent of the total vote. (excerpts from the New Book of Knowledge)C. AssasinationIn November 1963, President Kennedy journeyed to Texas for a speech-making tour. In Dallas on November 22, he and his wife were cheered enthusiastically as their open car passed through the streets. Suddenly, at 12"30 in the after-noon, an assassin fired several shots, striking the president twice, in the base of the neck and the head, and seriously wounding John Connally, the governor of Texas, who was riding with the Kennedys. The president was rushed to Park-land Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead about a' half hour later. Within two hours, Vice President Johnson took the oath as president. On November 24, amid national and worldwide mourning, the President’s body lay in state on the rotunda of the U. S. Capitol. The next day, leaders of 92 nations attended the state funeral, and a million persons lined the route as a horsedrawn caisson bore the body to St. Matthew’s Cathedral for a requiem mass. While millions of Americans watched the ceremonies on television, the president was buried on an open slope in Arlington National Cemetry. There an eternal flame, lighted by his wife, marks the grave.On the day of the assasination, the police arrested Lee Harvey Oswald, a 24-year-old ex-marine, for the president’s murder. Oswald, who had lived for a time in the Soviet Union, killed Dallas policeman J. D. Tippit while resisting at-rest. Two days later, in the station, Oswald himself was basement of the Dallas police fatally shot by Jack Ruby, a nightclub owner. On November 29, President Johnson appointed a seven-member commission, headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren, to conduct a thorough investigation of the assassination and report to the nation. The commission’s report made public on Sept. 27, 1964, held that Oswald fired the shots that killed the president. Further, to allay suspicions that the murder was a conspiratorial plot, it stated that the committee "found no evidence" that either Oswald or Ruby "was part of any conspiracy, domestic or foreign, to assassinate President Kennedy".Ⅱ. 1. 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 the power(missiles,H_bombs,etc.)to destroy all forms of human life.I agree with him.2.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.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.4.Britain,Canada,Australia,New Zealand.and in a wider sense one may also includeFrance.5.Many new nations were born after World WarⅡ.especially in Africa.In 1 960 alone,just one year before Kennedy’s inaugural speech,the following countries in Africa declared their independence:The Republic of Cen—tral Africa,The Republic of Chad,The Republic of Da-homey,The People’s Republic of the Congo。
