新视野英语第三版读写1标准答案
新视野大学英语1第三版读写教程答案U1Part II key to exercisesSection APre-reading activities11B 2D 3C 4A 5EUnderstanding the text11. The parents reminded their children to work hard and achieve the best they could.2. The president calls on the students to make the most of the great resources on campus: to explore new subjects, to meet fascinating people, and to pursue new passions.3. By saying “sample them widely”, the president mean students should try may different courses and try something new to see what it is like.4. If we don’t challenge ourselves, we will not become broadly educated people, and we may not find the passion that will help us shape our future.5. We can learn from the example of Vera Wang that we should challenge ourselves and by challenging ourselves, we are more likely to find an interest we don’t know we have, and this interest may help us build a prosperous future.6. W should not worry, and we should learn to face this new part of our life with enthusiasm. College experiences, pleasant or unpleasant, will provide us with valuable lessons which will enrich our life.7. The expression Now it is your turn”means that now it is time for you to acquire knowledge and to pass it on.8. The president’s welcoming speech is really impressive. He mentions many important things about college life , the resources available on campus, as wellas the opportunities we have and the responsibilities we should take. The speech is very inspiring.Critical thinking1. A university education will play a very important role in my life, and it willbenefit me in a number of ways. In the university I can acquire specialized knowledge about my major, and develop critical thinking and research skills.I will have the opportunities to meet and share ideas with people of differentminds. I can gain a broader view of the world by meeting people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. And I will start my life journey of self-discovery, self-improvement, and self-fulfillment.2.Yes, absolutely. With a university education, a person will have more freedomand therefore more choices. This education experience provides unlimited potential. Moreover, a university education provides the means for one to succeed.Not only will a person obtain knowledge and skills essential for his career development, but he will also develop an independent mind and be able to make right decisions on his own.3.I admire those who dropped out of university and yet have made fame for themselvesby achieving big goals. Some people use those successful college dropouts as counterexamples to show their belief that a person can succeed even without a university education. Chances are that most people do not have the same mind, talent, determination, or opportunities as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg did。

(5 points)Passage 1Chain stores have been developing rapidly in China during the past few years and taking hold of ever-increasing retail (零售) market share, an official survey indicates. The State Economic and Trade Commission (SETC) survey shows that the annual sales volume of China's 20 biggest chains leapt last year by 43 percent and the number of their retail stores rose by 46.7 percent, while sales for the whole retail market grew by 10.1 percent. Shanghai Lian Hua Supermarket Company holds the top position with 14.06 billion yuan (US$1.7 billions) in sales in 1, 225 retail stores. The statistics indicate that the biggest stores are swallowing more market share, leaving little development space for medium and small stores, said analysts (分析家). Analysts also note that almost all the giant chains have their headquarters in East China, but they are likely to explore western regions in the near future. With China's entrance into the World Trade Organization, its market is attracting overseas retailers, too. The country is committed to opening gradually its retail business, and as a result more chain stores from outside China will have a share of the pie.

This is the usual meaning of the word today.People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional (职业的) sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money.Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: the stars can earn more money from advertising (广告) than from sport. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say "Buy our things." It says "Buy the same shirt and shoes as…" Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their name or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people's spare time.66. The original meaning of the word "sport" is hunting wild animals and birds.67. The word "sport" used for organized games has a long history of over 100 years.68. People except professional sportsmen play the sport for fun.69. Famous sportsmen can't earn a lot of money besides the sport by advertisement.70. Sports nowadays have lost its original meaning.XI.
