美国UNIT 3 1。

What is an American? He is either a European, or the descendant of a European,hence that strange mixture of blood,which you will find in no other country。

He is an American,who leaving behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life he has embraced,the new government he obeys,and the new rank he holds. .。

Here individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men,whose labors and posterity will one day cause great changes in the world。

.。

The American is a new man,who acts new principles;he must therefore entertain new ideas,and form new opinions。

4 。

In what way did Puritanism influence American culture?A. Today, Puritans are no longer in existence. But their legacies are still felt in American society and culture。

For example,the Puritans hoped to build ”a city upon hill” an ideal community. Since that time, Americans have viewed their country as a great experiment,a worthy model for other nations. This sense of mission has been very strong in the minds of many Americans。

This article will provide an introduction to the society and culture of these English-speaking countries.1. Language: English is the primary language in these countries, but there are variations in vocabulary, accent, and colloquial expressions. Each country has its own distinct dialect and slang, which contributes to the diversity of the English language.2.

Access to quality education is considered a fundamental right, and the education systems focus on developing critical thinking, creativity, and independent learning.3. Social Etiquette: Social etiquette varies in each country but generally focuses on politeness, respect for personal boundaries, and punctuality. For example, in the United States, it is common to greet people with a firm handshake and maintain eye contact, while in the United Kingdom, a polite nod or handshake is more common.4.

The United States is known for American football, basketball, baseball, and ice hockey. Australia's passion lies in Australian rules football, cricket, and rugby, while Canada excels in ice hockey, lacrosse, and Canadian football.7. Arts and Entertainment: These countries have vibrant art scenes and are known for their contributions to literature, music, and film. British authors like William Shakespeare and Jane Austen have had a significant impact on English literature. Hollywood dominates the film industry, while the music scene in the United States has shaped popular music worldwide. Australia and New Zealand have produced internationally renowned actors, musicians, and writers.8. Festivals and Celebrations: Each country has its own national and cultural festivals and celebrations. In the United Kingdom, notable events include Bonfire Night, Christmas, and the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace. The United States celebrates Thanksgiving, Independence Day, and Halloween, among others. Australia and New Zealand celebrate ANZAC Day, Australia Day, Waitangi Day, and various multicultural festivals.

人权情况 • 绝大部分美国人认为美国是自由的国家,也认为美国已经 建立了一个为人权和民权提供保护的法律传统。美国开国 元勋在制订宪法时就认为限制政府的权力是保证人民的自 由的必要措施。权利法案的目的就是保护公民不受联邦政 府侵犯。其中最著名的第一修正案的目标是保护言论自由、 出版自由、宗教自由和其他的权利。其他的修正案保护公 民受审判团审判的权利、不受无证件的搜查和扣押的权利 等等各个方面。 • 西方世界各国普遍把美国看作人权领袖的模范,并认为上 面文件所列举出来的权利是世界上人权中最重要的。

《英语国家社会与文化入门》配套笔记

英语国家社会与文化入门前言:在综合英语中,以往英美文化概况占40分,在2014年占到30分。

2010年地理、历史、政治、社会生活、文学、科技都涉及到了,偏重的话没有,几乎分值差不多。

从近五年(2009年至2014年)来看,这部分比跟专八难一些,而且题型不同。

英美概况就把课文中的重点提取出来,加上课后习题,就已经够了。

但是鉴于近年来这部分的考到课外的也比较多,所以建议在看外给定的参考书之外,也买《星火专八人文知识》那本来看看,并做完里面的练习,因为2012年有些选择题是从里面原题出的。

首先我们先来看看近四年来英美概况部分的题型。

2009年—2014年英美概况题型—————————————————————————————————————2009年:判断,填空,作家与作品连线2010年:填空,作家与作品连线,简答题2011年:选择题,填空,简答题2012年:选择题,填空,简答题2013年:填空题,判断,问答题2014年:填空题,判断,问答题—————————————————————————————————————从上表可以看出,近几年来该部分的题型还是一直有在变化,但是不变的是考点,把考点记住了,随便你怎么考。

你看课后习题,出题点就是本文的重点了。

其实你要好好看课后习题,把每一题的知识点都要把握住,特别是做错的题。

好,接下来我们来看看这份弥足珍贵的英美概况笔记:该笔记完全按照《英语国家社会与文化》(第三版)(朱永涛著)上下两册书编写的。

这两本书也是华南师范大学外国语言文化学院研究生入学考试指定的参考书之一。

因此,为了考个好分数,这两本书不得不看,而且不得不讲效率地看。

该笔记一共40个章节,但不是与课本设置的章节一一对应:—————————————————————————————————————课本:上册Chapter 1-20 (英国、爱尔兰、澳大利亚)下册Chapter 1-20 (新西兰、美国、加拿大)笔记:Chapter 1-12(美国)Chapter 13-24(英国)Chapter 25-28 (澳大利亚)Chapter 29-30(新西兰)Chapter 31-36(加拿大)Chapter 37-40(爱尔兰)—————————————————————————————————————笔记的章节之所以这样设置是有道理的,把美国与英国放在前面是因为这两个国家是重考点出现最频繁的国家,俗话说“一年之计在于春,一天之计在于晨”,不过这跟本文没有任何联系。
