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 theirlanguage.★ Text BComprehension Check: c c c d b dLanguage Practice1. g e d c b h f a2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5)in transition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) hadcontributed to 11) unique12) rid yourself ofUnit 8VocabularyI. 1) barking 2) evil 3) brooding, hatched 4) migrant 5) tragedies 6) counterpart7) are complaining/complain 8) grim 9) flocks, fed on 10) vegetation11) patches 12) Scores of2. 1) was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreign guests2) the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office3) wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed thecrowded unnoticed.4) looked deserted 5) were stricken by it3. 1) patches, came into full bloom, were puzzled, mysterious2) throbbed with, sickened, migrant, a chorus 3) had crept into.

(完整版)大学英语综合教程2课后练习答案

UNIT 1陌生人的善意1 一年夏天,我从家乡加利福尼亚州的塔霍城开车前往新奥尔良。
在沙漠深处,我碰到一个年轻人站在路旁。
他一只手打出拇指向外的手势,另一只手里拿着一个汽油罐。
我直接从他身边开过去了。
别人会停下来的,我想。
再说,那汽油罐只是个让车停下、好抢劫司机的幌子而已。
在这个国家,曾有那么一段时间,你要是对需要帮助的人置之不理,大家会认为你是混蛋,而如今你要是帮了你就是笨蛋。
到处潜伏着犯罪团伙、吸毒上瘾者、杀人犯、强奸犯、盗窃犯还有劫车犯,为什么要冒险呢?“我不想卷进去”已经成为全国性的信条。
2 开过了几个州以后,我还在想着那个想搭便车的人。
把他一个人留在沙漠中倒并没有让我有多么不安。
让我不安的是,我多么轻易地就做出了这个决定。
我甚至根本没把脚从油门上抬起来。
我很想知道,现在还有人会停车吗?3 我想到我此行的目的地——新奥尔良。
那里是田纳西•威廉姆斯的剧作《欲望号街车》的背景地。
我回想起布兰奇•杜波依斯的名句:“我总是依赖陌生人的善意。
”4 陌生人的善意。
听起来好怪。
如今这年头还有谁能指望陌生人的善意吗?5 要验证这一点,一个办法是一个人从东海岸旅行到西海岸,不带一分钱,完全依靠美国同胞的善意。
他会发现一个什么样的美国?谁会给他饭吃、让他歇脚、捎他一程呢?6 这个念头激起了我的好奇心。
但谁会这么不切实际、愿意去尝试这样一次旅行呢?好吧,我想,那不如我来试试?7 满37岁那个星期,我意识到我这辈子还从没冒过什么险呢。

大学英语综合教程2 课后答案Unit 1Comprehension1.They were studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schoolsin Nanjing.2.Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying to place the key into the slot ofthe key box during their stay at the Jinling Hotel.3.They would come over to watch Benjamin and then try to teach him how to do itproperly.4.Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasksin China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.5.Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.6.He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that one cansolve a problem effectively by oneself.7.He means that this incident pointed to important differences in educational andartistic practices between China and the USA.8.The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guidinghis hand is characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided.9.One example is of children at the age of 5 or 6 painting flowers, fish and animalsskillfully and confidently; in a second example, calligraphers 9 and 10 years old are producing excellent works; and in a third, young artists work on perfecting their craft for several hours a day.10.Americans think that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge,and skills can be picked up later. Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11.This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12.The author makes the suggestion that we should strike a better balance betweenthe poles of creativity and basic skills.Text Organization1.(1) The text begins with an anecdote.(2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and theWest.(3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form of a question.2.(1)C: show a child how to do something, or teach by holding the handA: teach children that they should rely on themselves for solutions to problems(2)C: give greater priority to developing skills at an early age, believing thatcreativity can be promoted over timeA: put more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children, thinking skills can be picked up laterLanguage Sense Enhancement(1) summarizing(2) value originality and independence(3) contrast between(4) in terms of(5) harbor(6) fearful(7) comparable(8) promote creativity(9) emerge(10) picked upVocabulary1.(1)insert(2)on occasion(3)investigate(4)In retrospect(5)initial(6)phenpmena(7)attached(8)make up for(9)is awaiting(10)not in the least(11)promote(12)emerged2.

Assuming (that) this painting really is a masterpiece, do you think it'sworthwhile to buy / purchase it?(5). If the data is statistically valid, it will throw light on the problem we areinvestigating.2.T o improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening andspeaking. Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize ourexperience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.Unit 2Comprehension1.The Salvation Army is a religious charitable organization.
