新视野大学英语1第三版读写教程答案U4Part II key to exercisesSection APre-reading activities1Where New York City subway statinWho Wesley Austrey, 50 years old, a construction workerWhat Wesley Austrey saved Cameron Hollopeter.How Hollopeterfell to the tracks between the two rails when a train came. Wesleyjumped onto the tracks, lay on top of Hollopeter and pressed him down.31 .Yes, I think Wesley Austrey is a real hero because he showed unusual courage in times of danger. Few people would jump onto the tracks to save a stranger from a racing train.. No, I don’t think Wesley Austrey is a hero. He was behaving irresponsibly. He should have realized that he had two little children to take care of. What would his kids do if he died?!2 .I am most impressed by Wesley Austrey talking about his own fear and what he said to the stranger. From the report we can tell that Wesley Austrey loved his children and that he was fully aware of the danger he was facing. This further shows how caring and how courageous he was.. I am most impressed when Wesley Austrey said, “I don't feel like I did something extraordinary; I just saw someone who needed help”. This shows that Wesley Austrey is a warm-hearted and courageous person. When it is time for him to offer help, he just extends his hand. This is why when a stranger slipped off the platform, Wesley Austrey immediately jumped onto the tracks to save him, regardless of the extreme danger involved.3 I doubt if I would be courageous enough to jump onto the tracks to save the man. I would probably shout at the man, telling his to stay between the rails, lower his body, and keep his head down. And then I would ask the subway staff for help.Scripts:On a New York City subway, it’s hard enough to find some who’ll give up his seat to some stranger, let alone be willing to give his life for another person.Fifty-year-old Wesley Austrey was a construction worker. One day he was standing on a subway platform with his two little daughters. Right in front of them stood a man. Suddenly the man slipped off the platform edge and fell to the tracks between the two rails. The deadlights of a trian appeared. Wesley Austrey had to make a quick decision. He jumped onto the tracks. He lay on top of the man, pressing him down in a space roughtly a fot deep. There was only one half inch of space between the two men and the train. The train rolled overhead before it stopped and people got the out.Wesley Austr ey’s children were extremely scared at the scene, and Wesley Austrey himself was scared too. “I got to talk to him,” later he told news reporters. “Sir, you can’t move. I’ve got two kids up there looking for their father to come back. I don’t know you and you dn’t know me, but listen don’t panic. I’m here to save you.”The man Wesley Austrey saved is 20-year-old Cameron Hollopter. Except for a fesmall wounds, Hollopeter was doing fine. Wesley Austrey refused medical help because, he said, nothing was wrong. He visited Hollopeter in the hospital before he went to work. “I don’t feel like I did something extraordinary; I just saw someone who needed help,” he said. “I did what I felt was right.”Reading comprehensionUnderstanding the text11. Today both victims and survivors of all kinds of difficulties and tragedies are described asheroes.2. Because during a mass shooting in Tucson, Daniel Hernandez courageously ran through thedanger to save one of the victims.3. The priest meant that Dory was a hero not just because he gave his life for his wife, but alsobecause he had been known for his remarkable spirit and love of humanity when he was alive.4. First responders are people, such as police officers and firefighters, whose job is to rush towarddanger. They are supposed to be the first to arrive at the scene of accidents and deal with emergencies.5. In the past, heroes were those who acted courageously beyond the call of duty or great leaders,while today’s heroes can be average men and women.6. Eleanor McMahon considered may police officers to be heroes because they rush towarddanger to help those in need, against the human instinct to rush toward safety and away from danger.7. The inspiring stories of heroes help remind us that ordinary people can do extraordinary things,whether it is to fulfill their duties, or as part of everyday life.8. We honor heroes by recognizing their heroism and, more importantly, by working to change thecircumstances that led to their death.Critical thinking21. In my view, a hero is someone who:.is brave or even risks their lives in face of danger;. saves others in trouble;. shows great courage when others hesitate or fear;. sacrifices themselves for others2. Yes, people who give their lives for others shouldcertainly be considered heroes, no matterwhom they save-whether it is a family member or a stranger. By rescuing others, they demonstrate extraordinary courage and the rare qualities of a hero.3. Yes, I agree that “Heroism is latent in every human soul.”I th ink everyong, kids or adults, men orwomen, wants to be a hero. Some want to be a hero because they want to be respected or loved by others; they would like to gain fame or attention. Some want to be a hero because they want to feel powerful for themselves. Still some others want to be a hero just because they want to help those in nee, even by sacrificing their own interest, health or lives. No matter what motivates the hero, it is a glorious feeling when others look up to you as a hero.4. Yes, I think they should be regarded as heroes even though their efforts fail. They are heroesbecause they are brave and ready to sacrifice themselves for others. Their act and sacrifice will set a good example for other people, no matter whether their efforts have brought about desirable results or not. The most important thing is that they have tried while many other people would have neither the intention nor the courage to have a try.5. It is heroes who protect us from danger, and give us strength, comfort and confidence. To honorheroes, we should:. spread their names and stories in legends, the media, songs, movies, etc.;. put up monuments for commemoration;. set up a special day to remember them;. take good care of them and their families;. give them special honors; and.call on society to learn from them.Language focusWords in use31. involve2. fulfilled3. intense4. advocate5. circumstances6. respond7. subsequent8. confined9. reconciled10. distinctword building4Words learned New words formed-ableagree agreeable apply applicable desire desirable sustain sustainable compare comparable -anceaccept acceptance attend attendance assistassistance-mententertainmententertainassignment assignengage engagement51. assistance2. comparable3. attendance4. engagement5. applicable6. assigned7. acceptance8. entertain9. agreeable10. sustainable11. desirablebanked cloze61L 2N 3J 4F 5M 6C 7H 8K 9A 10EExpressions in use71. shield … from2. make sense of3. called on4. in need5. are/get caught up in6. relate to7. sum up8. count on9.

One day, Ann was diagnosed with a sever heart disease, but she did not have enough money for treatment. When people in her community heard the news, they raised money for her and helped take care of her children. Although Ann was very sick, she felt very happy. She had enjoyed helping other people, who now in turn where happy t help her. Happiness is indeed the result of helping each other.Translation10作为通过中国游历亚洲的首批欧洲人之一,马可.波罗可能是中国最熟知的外国商人和航海家。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a paragraph of your plan to develop your listening comprehension and speaking ability at college. You should write at least 120 words. Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7,choose the best answer from the four choices marked A),B),C)and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.How to Improve Your Study HabitsPerhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary the case, however. You can receive better grades if you want to. Yes, even students of average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here’s how:1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of the free time on the schedule. It’s important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. This weekly schedule may not solve all of your problems, but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play.2. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject.3. Skim before you read.This means looking over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions. Skimming helps double your reading speed and improves your comprehension as well.4. Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.5. Study regularly. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about. Read about these points in your textbook. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material too. This will help you understand the next class. If you review your notes and textbooks regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on tests.6. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide grades, but they also let you know what you need to spend more time studying, and they help make your new knowledge permanent.There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. Only a few have been mentioned here. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these. Talk with your classmates about their study techniques. Share with them some of the techniques you have found to be helpful. Improving your study habits will improve your grades.注意:此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

大学英语课程(外教社版)一课一练试卷(精读-一级)Unit 6答案Part I Writing (30 minutes)Study EfficientlySome students believe that college life is an easy and relaxing life. You don’t have to work hard to get your degree or diploma. Instead, you can make full use of your 4 years enjoying what you want to do.However, other students have the belief that life in college is challenging. You have to study in a hard and efficient way to graduate. Efficiency will play a critical role during the short period of time. If you fail to work efficiently, you will not have a rich and colorful life.In my opinion, efficiency in study is of great important to college students. In doing so, you should first of all make good arrangement of your time. Good planning is the first step to achieve your short-term goal of graduation with merit. Then you should take the school library as your second home. Extensive reading will not only enrich your mind but also lead you into a wonderful world full of varieties and challenging.Part II (15 minutes)1-4 CBBA 5. had not improved production6. suggestion7.

Many citizens often complain about the thefts and robberies that have taken place in the areas they livoe in and appeal to the governments at all levels to take effective measures to reduce the crime rate.Faced with criminals, some people are so frightened that they shamelessly give up the fight and otherpeople turn a blind eye to them. However, some people are brave enough, to risk their lives to fight thecriminals. Their fearless actions prevented the crimin’a7s from doing evils, saved the victims, and protected the public properties.To reduce the crime rate, we all the people should first receive a law education Criminals must be severely punished. Meanwhile we should set up a foundation to reward those who fight criminals. It is also important to call on people to leam from those heroes and encourage more people to stand up to crime.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1-7: Y N N N Y NG Y8. brought them into the Stadium9. dismal and dangerous10. paid attention to their schoolworkPartIV Reading Comprehension (I’n depth)47-56 CLNIJ EBMOF57-61 DCDCD 62-66CDADBPart V Cloze67-71 CBBDA72-76 CDBAC 77-81 BADBA82-86 ACBADPart VI Translation87.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1The key to a good interview is thorough preparation. If you have prepared yourself well, the interview will most likely run smoothly and you will present yourself confidently.As soon as you are invited to attend an interview, start researching facts about the company, such as the number of persons the company employs, specific fields in which it is involved, work for which it is particularly well known, its major products and services, location of branch offices, and the company’s involvement in community activities. Such knowledge can be extremely useful during the interview, because it permits you to ask intelligent questions at appropriate places --- questions that indicate to the interviewer that you have done your homework.Y ou also need to prepare for difficult questions an interviewer may ask to test your readiness for the interview and the sincerity of your application. Y ou may be asked: 1) Why do you want to join our organization? 2) How do you think you can contribute to our company? 3) Why do you want to leave your present employer? 4) What do you expect to be doing in five years? Ten years?If you have not prepared for such questions, and so hesitate before answering, an interviewer may interpret your hesitation to mean you find a question difficult to answer or there are factors you would rather hide. In either case, you may unconsciously provide an entirely misleading impression of yourself.36.A good preparation of interview will ______.A. make you feel confidentB. make you work hardC. give you a thorough research about yourselfD. provide you with a key to some difficult problems37.What information should you collect about the company EXCEPT ______?A. the number of its employeesB. the places of its branch officesC. the kinds of its products and servicesD. the employer’s attitude toward his workers38.Why should you know the company well before interview? Because ______.A. it is useful to know the exact location of the companyB. it gives you much knowledge you didn’t know beforeC. it will help you ask proper questions during the interviewD. it shows you have finished your job before the interview39.By asking some difficult questions, the interviewer mainly wants to know ______.A. whether you have already done your homeworkB. whether you apply for the job sincerelyC. what you think about the companyD. what you know about the company40.In order to avoid a misleading impression of yourself, you should ______.A. hide some facts when answering questionsB. try to know the questions before the interviewC. answer all the questions without hesitationD. only say some good words about the companyPassage 2Today, roller skating is eas y and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn’t easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn’t exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin’s work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin.

From the time youngsters become fourteen years old, they are likely to dream of having their own cars. Many young people work after school during their last year of high school in order to buy a car. Learning to drive and obtaining a driver’s license (执照) may be one of the most exciting things for a young person.People who almost never go to a doctor when they are sick usually take their cars to a mechanic at the first sign of a problem. Those who do not like to work around the home on Saturdays may devote most of that day to washing and waxing (打蜡) their cars.For some families, it is not enough to have one car. They often have two (or even three) cars ---one for work and one for recreation (娱乐).Many men and women in the United States need to have a car. Many need a car to go to work. Housewives need a car to go shopping or to take the children to school or other activities.In most states, young people learn to drive in high school, where driver training is one of the most popular courses. At the end of the course, the student must take a driving test to obtain a license. For many, that piece of paper is an important symbol that they are now adults.46.Why do some young people work after school during their last year of high school?A. In order to buy a car.B. In order to make a living.C. In order to earn money so that they can continue their studies.D. In order to support their parents.47.What may be one of the most exciting things of a young person’s life?A. Traveling in a car.B. Learning to drive and obtaining a driver’s license.C.

Congress must pass laws to stop factories from polluting the air and the water.Unless anti-pollution standards are enforced (执⾏) for all, companies that care about a clean environment will go out of business. For example, if a car company X spends money on putting an anti-pollution control device on their cars, their cars will be more expensive than the cars produced by another company. People who don’t have the extra money or who don’t care about pollution will not buy the more expensive car. A car company X will go bankrupt, that is, it won’t make enough money to pay its workers and to buy materials. It will go out of business. Of course, no car company will make itself go bankrupt, and so the pollution of the land and air and water will go on.But if the government says that all car factories must make cars with anti-pollution control devices, the costs to all car factories will be equal. The government can’t let companies decide whether or not they want to stop pollution. The government must force the factories to help clean up the environment by selling anti-pollution standards for everyone.51.What is the main idea of this passage?A. Factories should not pollute the air.B. Car companies would go bankrupt.C. The government should set anti-pollution standards.D. A clean environment is needed.52.What is the purpose of this passage?A. To describe how a company can go bankrupt.B. To describe what it would be like to have a clean environment.C. To tell how the writer feels about car companies.D. To tell what the writer thinks about the government should do to stop pollution.53.What does the writer think is the important problem in this passage?A. People don’t have extra money to buy cars.B. Car companies won’t stop polluting the environment by themselves.C. The government must enforce anti-pollution standards.D. Car companies must put anti-pollution control devices on their cars.54.What does “standards” most probably mean in this passage?A. rulesB. devicesC. equipmentD. business55.What does “anti-pollution” mean in this passage?A. water heavily pollutedB. air pollutedC. causing pollutionD. against pollutionPart III ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in each of the following passages.

Summarize the passageSummary: Leaving home for the first time, either to go to college or for some other reason, can be difficult. With no parents nearby, there are many new decisions to make on our own. Decisiveness and creativity are both needed to make these decisions wisely. Plans and rules may be needed. But every day different situations may arise. It’s impossible to have a plan or a rule for every situation. That’s why creativity is also needed. Being away from home may teach some young people to appreciate their parents even more.2.

Necessary changes in verb tense help readers understand the relationships among various events. But if we make unnecessary or inconsistent shifts in tenses, it will cause misunderstanding. Generally, we keep one tense as the main tense and indicate changes of time by changing tenses relative to that primary tense.Step 3 Practical Writing ( 45 mins)Bank Account FormThere are several kinds of accounts available, such as regular savings accounts, certificates of deposit, joint accounts, and trust accounts.Step 4 AssignmentsSuppose you want to open a 6-month individual certificate of deposit by yourself (not jointly or in trust for someone else).

A New ToyI was eight years old when our neighbors across the hall got a television. It was very small and very expensive, but that didn’t matter. IT WAS WONDERFUL. Everyone in the building came up to the fifth floor to see this latest wonder of the modern world. Some people, the lucky ones, stayed for a while and got to watch a whole grogram. That was in 1948.Soon a lot of people got new televisions, but not us. My parents didn’t like television. They didn’t think it was good for children. Being a good docile son, I didn’t argue with them. But I did secretly watch television –at my friends’ homes.By 1955 televisions weren’t so expensive and they were much larger. My parents still thought television wasn’t good for us, but my sisters insisted. They said we were the only people in the neighborhood who didn’t have one. All their friends talked about certain programs and actors,but my sisters couldn’t. Their friends laughed at them, and my sisters felt wretched, very unhappy.One day, my youngest sister came from school and started to cry. She said she was never going back to school and that life without television wasn’t worth living. She cried and sobbed. My parents’ usual arguments only made her more inconsolable. Nothing they said made her feel any better. Well, what could they doThe next morning, without telling us, my parents went out and got a new TV. That afternoon an antenna was put on the roof. Suzanne came home from school and ran into the house.“Where is it Where is it” She cried. “I know it’s here.” She was breathless, and her eyes were shiny with excitement.“It’s in the living room,”my mother said as my sister ran off to look at, to admire, this beautiful thing called a television.Later I asked her, “How did you know the TV was here”“The antenna. Now our house looks like everyone else’s.”She had a wonderful smile on her face.When we were young our parents allowed us to watch TV two hours a night. On, yes. And we couldn’t watch until our homework was finished. But after a year or two, TV wasn’t exciting or new anymore. It became just another part of our lives, like shoes or soap. My parents still had fears about TV. We were going to forget how to read, they said. And were not going to read books because watching TV was easier, they said. And TV was going to fill our minds with violence, they said. They said lots of things like that—once a day at least. I disagreed with them. I thought they were old-fashioned, thinking too much of old ways and ideas.Today, people still argue about the value of TV. Nobody can deny the power of TV. It has an enormous, a very powerful, influence on our lives. On the average, Americans spend 30 hours a week watching TV. Is this influence good or bad This is an unanswerable question indeed: It is hard enough to measure influence; and it is even harder to decide what is good and what isn’t. What is good, I suppose, is that many people are concerned about TV’s influence and that we have the power to change what we don’t like.Recently I read an article in the newspaper about the people of Monhegan Island, 18 kilometers off the coast of Maine. These people don’t have electricity, and they decided, once again, that they liked it that way. Only a handful people live there during the long winter, and they live without electricity—by choice. Electricity, they think, would make things too easy and spoil their way of life. Maybe they would be more interested in staying home and watching television.1. ______ TV was considered a miracle of the times.A. In the early 1940sB. In the late 1940sC. In the mid-1950sD. By 19552.
