English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.。

第一单元善良之心，久久相依当时我没有意识到，是爸爸帮我保持平衡奥古斯塔斯• J •布洛克1 随着我渐渐长大，当别人看见我和爸爸在一起，我会觉得很尴尬。
他身材矮小，走起路来跛得很厉害。
我们一起走时，他要把手搭在我的肩上才能保持平衡，人们就会盯着我们看。
对这种不必要的注意我觉得非常难堪。
他也许曾注意到，或着觉得烦恼，但他从来没有流露出来。
2 要协调我们的步伐并不容易，他(的步子)一瘸一拐的，我(走起来)则缺乏耐心。
因此，我们走路的时候并不怎么说话。
但出发时，他总是说：“你定步伐，我会尽量跟上。
”3 我们通常在家和地铁之间来往，这是他上班的必由之路。
不论生病还是碰到恶劣的天气他都去上班，几乎没有旷过一天工。
即使别人无法上班，他也要去办公室。
对他来说这是一种自豪。
4 当地上有冰或雪的时候，即使有人帮忙他也无法走路。
这时，我或者我的姐妹就用孩子玩的雪撬拉着他，穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道，直到地铁的入口处。
一到那儿，他就能紧紧抓住扶手一直走下去, 地铁道里比较暖和，下面的楼梯不结冰。
曼哈顿的地铁站正好是他办公楼的地下室，因此除了从布鲁克林我们去接他的地方到回家为止，他都不用再出去。
5 一个成年男子要有多少勇气才能承受这种屈辱和压力，我现在想来惊讶不已。
他从没有痛苦或抱怨，他是怎么做到这一步的我感到不可思议。
6 他从不把自己当作同情的对象，也从不对更幸运的或更能干的人表示任何嫉妒。
他在别人身上所寻找的是一颗“善心”。
如果他找到了一颗善心，那么有这么颗心的人对他来说就是一位大好人了。
7 由于年龄的增长，我相信那是一种用来判断人的恰当的标准，尽管我还不能精确地知道什么是一颗“善心”。
但是，当我自己没有的时候，我是知道的。
8 尽管很多活动我爸爸不能参加，但他还是尽量用某种方式参与。
当本地的一支棒球队发现缺经理的时候，他使它维持下去。
他是一个很懂行的棒球迷，经常带我去埃贝茨球场看布鲁克林的道奇队打球。
他喜欢参加舞会和聚会，就是坐在一旁观看，也很开心。

全新版大学英语第二版听说教程2（unit1~7）答案
全新版⼤学英语第⼆版听说教程2（unit1~7）答案Unit 1 SportsPart AListening StrategyIdentifying NumbersNumbers appear very often in every kind of listening material. The ability to catch the exact numbers spoken in English is an important but difficult skill for a Chinese learner. A good way is to practice over and over again the pronunciation of the numbers, particularly the different ways to say thirteen and thirty, fourteen and forty, etc. It also helps to practice writing down the numbers you hear quickly in numerical forms, without translating them into Chinese.You’re going to hear a passage about Michael Jordan, a retired American professional basketball player. Listen carefully and fill in the blanks with the missing numbers.Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. He was born on Feb. 1) 17, 2) 1963, in Brooklyn, New York. He is 3) 1.98 meters tall and weighs 4) 216 pounds. Jordan joined the Chicago Bulls team for the 5) 1984 season. In the 6) 1986 season he shot 7) 3041 points, the 8) third highest score ever. He was named NBA Slam Dunk Champion (扣篮冠军) in 9) 1987 and won the Most Valuable Player Award in 10) 1988, an honor repeated 11) four times in the next 12) ten years to 13) 1998. Jordan guided his team to win 14) six NBA championships during the 15) 1990s, scoring 16) 45 points during the 17) sixth and last game of the 18) 1998 NBA finals. In 19) 1999, he was named the greatest North American athlete of the 20th century.Jordan left the NBA at the beginning of the 1993-1994 NBA season to pursue a career in baseball. Since his baseball game wasn’t quite as good as his basketball games, he finally gave it up to rejoin the Bulls in 1995. Yet, after playing for 20) five more years, he once again announced his retirement in 21) 1999. But he returned for two more NBA games in 22) 2001 as a member of the Washington Wizards.Part BPre-listening TaskQuestions for DiscussionYou are going to talk about sports. Read the following questions and discuss them with your partner.1. Do you like sports? What is your favorite sport?2. What sports do most young people go in for?3. What sports are suitable for old people?4. Do you like jogging? Why or why not?5. Why do people need to play sports?Demo:2. What sports do most young people go in for?Well, people in different parts of the world may prefer different kinds of sports. For example, many Chinese people play ping-pong or table tennis, and it is considered to be our national sport. Chinese ping-pong players have won numerous championships in world competitions, which boosts the enthusiasm for the game among young people in China. However, in North America, many young people like playing American football and basketball. Almost every teenager has his or her own idol in these games. For example, Michael Jordan has a lot of fans in theAdditional Question for DiscussionWhat do you know about the Olympic Games?Demo:The Olympic Games are one of the most important international events in the world today. The modern Olympic Games arenamed for athletic contests held in ancient Greece for almost 12 centuries. They were banned in AD 394 but were revived and made international in 1896. The Winter Games were added in 1924. World War I and World War II forced cancellation of the Olympics in 1916, 1940, and 1944, but they resumed in 1948 and are held every four years. After 1992 the Winter and Summer Games were no longer held within the same calendar year. Winter Games were scheduled for 1994, after only a two-year interval, and every four years thereafter. The Summer Games were scheduled for 1996, and every four years thereafter. Beijing successfully hosted the 2008 Olympics.Language FocusHere are some sentences and structures that you might find useful in discussing the above questions.●I like sports a lot / very much.●I enjoy / am keen on / am fond of playing sports.●I like swimming / jogging / fishing / tennis, etc.●My favorite sport is basketball / volleyball / football, etc.●Young people go in for such sports as running / playing basketball / tennis / football, etc.●Jogging / Walking / Fishing is good for old people.●Jogging is considered a healthy sport for both the young and the old / people of all ages.●Many people begin jogging because they believe it is a very good form of exercise / can make their heartsstronger / can help them lose weight.●Jogging against the cold wind is also a test of one’s will power.●Playing sports can help us to relax.●Sitting in a chair all day has made me very lazy.●I can get my figure back if I play a sport.●I can make new friends when I play sports.●People play sports because they want to keep fit / live an active life.●Playing a sport we like is an essential part of our life.Listening TasksWhy Don’t You Join Me at the Gym Sometime?Word Bankgym n. a special hall or room with equipment for doing physical exercise 体育馆head v. to go to 到……去cycle v. to ride a bicycle 骑⾃⾏车stay in shape to keep a good figure 保持体形work out to exercise to improve physical fitness 进⾏健⾝锻炼guest pass a card or permit giving authorization for the holder’s friend (a guest) to enter or have access to a place 贵宾卡Script:Peter: Hi Laura. Where are you heading with that big bag?Laura: Hi, Peter. I’m off to the gym. I’ve got to stay in shape, you know. I try to go three times a week, but I’m busy so I can’t always make it.Peter: I know more women who work out than men. What’s the main reason you work out? For your health, or to look good?Laura: To be honest, for both.

Do you get any regular exercise?Peter: I do a lot of walking, for exercise and enjoyment — sometimes ten to twenty kilometers at a time — but I never go to the gym like you do.Laura: Well, walking is good exercise.

And I often go swimming on vacation, but only recreational swimming.Laura: Why don’t you join me at the gym sometime? I can get you a guest pass.Peter: Well, maybe someday, but I’m pretty lazy about things like that.Language and Culture Notes1.Background informationNowadays many people work in offices, spending most of their time indoors.

But recentlyI have failed to keep up with football.W: Now you’re busy with your golf games.Q: What do you know about the man from the conversation?Unit 2 Food and DrinksPart AListening StrategyListening “Between the Lines”People do not always say directly what they mean. Very often, we have to listen “between the lines”. The English language offers many ways for people to imply, rather than directly state, their meaning. To find out what a speaker really means, wecan rely on such things as the context, the meaning of an idiom, and the intonation used. For example, if someone says “I have an essay to write” in answer to an invitation to go somew here, we can infer from the context that he cannot accept the invitation. And if someone says “Andrew passed with flying colors” in reply to an inquiry about how Andrew did on a test, we can infer from the meaning of the idiom “to pass with flying colors” that Andrew did very well on the test. Often, intonation also helps to reveal the real meaning of a message. For example, “He is very clever” said with an ironic tone means just the opposite.You are going to hear eight short conversations between two speakers. Listen carefully and write down “Yes” or “No” to each of the following questions.1. Q: Does the woman enjoy the food in that restaurant? Yes2. Q: Is the man satisfied with the restaurant’s service? No3. Q: Do the children like the cake? Yes4. Q: Does the man like chicken best? No5. Q: Does the woman like the wine? Yes6. Q: Does John want a soda? No7. Q: Does the man like the fish? No8. Q: Will Sue eat out with the man tonight? NoScript:1. M: Have you ever been to that big restaurant opposite the school gate?W: Yes, many times. Whenever my friends come to visit me, I’ll take them there to eat.2. W: Is there something wrong, sir?M: My wife and I have been kept waiting for nearly an hour for our meal.3. W: Where is the cake I made this morning?M: We ate it, mom. Can you make another one for us?4. W: I hear you like chicken very much.M: Next to beef.5. M: Have you tried this wine before?W: No, never. It’s my first time, but it’s really to my taste.6. M: John, do you want a soda?W: Soda? I think it tastes like medicine.7. W: Why, the fish is left almost untouched.M: Well, it would be good if it were less salty.8. M: Hi, Sue, would you like to eat out tonight?W: Oh, I’d really like to, but m y sister may come to visit me this evening.Part BPre-listening TaskQuestions for DiscussionYou are going to talk about food and drinks. Read the following questions and discuss them with your partner.1. Where do you usually have your meals? What do you think of the food there?2. What do you usually have for breakfast, lunch and supper?3. Do you sometimes eat out? What kind of place do you like to go to?4. What is your favorite food / dish / drink?5. How do you like health food?Demo:4. What is your favorite food? (Why do you like it?)I am not picky about food and it is hard for me to decide which food I like most. Meat, bread, vegetables, fruit, fish …, I like them all. It can be said that my favorites change with the season. For example, in spring, my favorite food includes vegetables and fruit. I like them because they are tasty, nutritious and easy to digest.Additional Question for DiscussionAre there any differences or similarities between Chinese table manners and Western table manners?Demo:Chinese table manners are different from Western table manners in several aspects. One example is that, to show kindness and hospitality (好客), many Chinese would put food with their own chopsticks (筷⼦) onto their guests’ bowls or plates even though the guests indicate they do not want the food or so much of it. However, very few Westerners would do this. They would ask their guests to help themselves to the food they like.Language FocusHere are some sentences and structures that you might find useful in discussing the above questions.●I usually have meals at the school canteen. The food there is not expensive / good / delicious / not bad.●There is always a variety of things to choose from / little choice.●I sometimes eat out at a fast food restaurant / snack bar for a change.●Hamburgers and French fries are my favorites.●I don’t like fast food. It’s junk food and has little body-building nutrition.●I like fast food a lot. I know it’s not very nutritious but it tastes good.●I prefer health food, which is rich in vitamins and minerals and low in calories.●I’d prefer to go to a restaurant where the food is good, even though it costs more.●I like / fancy / crave for / can’t stand / hate hot and spicy food / sweet and sour dishes．●This dish is delicious / tasteless / too salty / awful.●For breakfast, I usually have meat stuffed buns (⾁包) and soybean milk (⾖奶) / milk and two slices ofwhole-wheat bread / porridge and pancakes / instant noodles.●For lunch, I have rice with one meat dish and one vegetable dish or vegetable soup.●I occasionally have dumplings / noodles / fried rice for lunch / supper.●I’m a vegetarian (素⾷者) and I like many kinds of vegetables, especially greens and mushrooms.Listening TasksWhat about Dining Out?Word Bankheavy a.

How have you been?Peter: Oh, OK, I guess. And you?Kate: Not too bad. We haven’t seen each other for a while, have we?Peter: No, we haven’t. So that makes me ask. Do you have any plan for this Saturday?Kate: No, not yet, I don’t think so. Why?Peter: What do you think about getting together and going out to dinner this weekend?Kate: That would be great. Do you have any particular place in mind?Peter: Well, I think I’d like to eat something that’s not too heavy. I’ve been eating a little too much lately. Kate: Me too. Peter: I love Italian food, but maybe we should skip that this time. They always seem to serve so much food in Italian restaurants, and you end up eating more than you wanted to.Kate: Chinese food would be good.Peter: Yes, or maybe some Japanese sushi. That style uses a lot of natural flavors, and not much oil or cream or heavy sauces.Kate: Yes, either of those choices would be good. Let’s just meet on Saturday night, and decide then where to eat. Peter: That’s fine by me.Language and Culture Notes1. Background informationIn large cities such as New York and London, you can always find different styles of cuisine. And you have a variety of choices as to what to eat, from French food, Italian food, Chinese food, Japanese food, and Mexican food, to Malaysian or Thai food. Italian cuisine uses a lot of tomato sauce, cheese, and cream, and its food is more on the heavy side. Pizza and pasta (for example, spaghetti and macaroni) are popular with diners. Our own Chinese cuisine is noted for its combination of color, flavor and smell, and Sichuan-style spicy food and Chinese snacks are much favored by foreigners for their delicious taste. Japanese cuisine lays great emphasis on artistic presentation of its dishes. Compared to Italian and Chinese cuisine, the Japanese style of cooking is probably lighter. It uses a lot of raw food, especially raw fish, all kinds of seafood, and soy sauce with less oil and fat.2. for a whilefor quite some time3. Do you have any particular place in mind?Do you want to go to any particular restaurant to eat? “Do you have any pa rticular … in mind?” can be used for various situations. For example, “Do you have any particular place / movie / idea / plan / book, etc. in mind?”4. natural flavorsthe original tastes of food, without being altered by sauces or seasonings5. That’s fine by me.This is an informal way to show agreement to some suggestion, meaning “I like that” or “I have no objection to that”.Exercise 1Listen to the conversation and complete the following sentences.1. Peter and Kate haven’t seen each other for a while.2. Kate doesn’t have any plans for this Saturday.3. Peter suggests to Kate that they have dinner together during the weekend.4. Peter loves Italian food, but he thinks they serve too much food in Italian restaurants.5. Both Peter and Kate like Chinese food and Japanese food.Exercise 2Listen to the conversation again and write down answers to the following questions. 1. What does Peter say about Japanese food?It uses natural flavors, not much oil or cream or heavy sauces.2. When and where will Peter and Kate have dinner together?They will have dinner on Saturday either at a Chinese or a Japanese restaurant.

What counts as important details depends on the kind of information we want. Generally speaking, if we are listening to the narration of an event, we need to sharpen our ears not only for what happened, but also when and where, how and why it happened. In listening to a weather report, on the other hand, the important details we should watch out for are the current weather conditions, temperature, and weather outlook.You’re going to hear two short passages about weather. While listening, pay attention to such details as the weather conditions, temperature, weather outlook, damage caused by bad weather and so on, and write them down in note form. Then complete the exercises in your book.1. a. General weather conditions for today:Fine and pleasant.b. Temperature:High: 18 °C (64 °F)c. Weather outlook:Mostly cloudy with heavy showers moving in from the west.2. a. When did the storm start and how long did it last?It started around 8 p.m. and lasted for about three hours.b. How damaging was the storm?It caused four deaths and serious damage including a widespread power failure.Script:1. The weather today: a fine day is in store nearly everywhere, with the best of the sunshine in southern and central areas of Britain. A pleasant day, then, with long sunny periods developing. There will be light winds with a maximum temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, 64 degrees Fahrenheit.Look at the outlook for the next few days: it will become mostly cloudy with heavy showers moving in from the west.2. A storm in Changchun, capital of Northeast China’s Jilin Province, claimed four lives on Sunday. The storm lasted about three hours from around 8 p.m. The winds reached speeds of over a hundred miles an hour, causing serious damage and a widespread power failure.Part BPre-listening TaskQuestions for DiscussionYou are going to talk about weather and weather forecasts. Read the following questions and discuss them with your partner.1. What’s the weather like now?2. What’s the weather forecast for today?3. How do you get weather information?4. What kind of climate do you like or dislike?5. Which season do you like best? Why?Demo:4. What kind of climate do you like or dislike?I like the climate of Shenyang City in the northern part of China. In spring it’s neither too hot nor too cold, with the temperaturebetween 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit. The summer there is cool and pleasant. In the fall the leaves change colors with the temperature around 60-70 degrees Fahrenheit. Perhaps the winter there is the best time, for the scenery is gorgeous. The snow is like powder covering the ground everywhere and that makes it an amazing place for skiing and snowboarding.Additional Question for DiscussionDo you think it is possible or impossible to give accurate weather forecasts?Demo:I think it is too much to ask for accurate weather forecasts at present. There are still quite a few things about the weather that we just don’t understand. We have to further develop meteorological (⽓象的) science and related technologies. There is a long way to go before we can hope to have very accurate weather forecasts.Language FocusHere are some sentences and structures that you might find useful in discussing the above questions.●It’s fine / sunny / warm / rainy / cloudy / snowy / windy / freezing / foggy / dry / chilly today.●The air is close / oppressive.● A storm is coming up / building up / in the making.●It’s raining off and on / cats and dogs.●The rain / snow has stopped / let up.●It’s going to cloud over.●It’s going to be a cold day with damaging northwesterly winds / hot and humid day with a high of 36 degreesCentigrade.●It seems to be clearing up.●The weather forecast says it’s going to be clear and sunny / muggy and humid / cold and wet.●The high will be … and the low will be …●The temperature will reach a h igh of ... in the afternoon / drop to a low of … at night.●I often tune in to the radio or TV / read newspapers /go online to check on weather conditions.●I like mild / warm / cool / dry climate.●I dislike / cannot stand hot / humid / wet / very dry / bitterly cold climate.●I like spring best. In spring the weather is mild and pleasant, and nature is at its loveliest.●Summer is my favorite season because I like swimming / enjoy watching the glorious sunrise and sunset on asummer day.●I like autumn very much because I love watching the change of color in leaves / the weather is just right,neither cold nor hot / it is the season of harvest.●Winter is the season of snow and ice. In snowy weather I can go skiing in the mountains / like to play throwingsnowballs with my friends.Listening TasksDid You Hear the Weather Forecast?Word Bankannual a. once a year 年度的。

That was the price he had to pay for his dignity as a human being.Tom applied for numerous jobs, only to be turned down, before he finally got one as a delivery boy for a Pizza Hut. He then worked as a sales representative for a sportswear company in a territory no one else would want. Today he owns a fairly profitable retail shop in his hometown, and hires several people to work for him.。
