Well, they may have different pursuits, but they have the same devotion to their pursuits.That is what I have learned about Socrates and Confucius.Thank you.iAssess1-10 Unit testPart I1.eccentric2.irritating3.enforce4.restore5.allegiance6.betrayed/betray7.strives8.intriguedPart ⅡB C A B B APart ⅢPart III 1-1Reference:和很多人一样, 亚里士多德也因最好的论点并不总能赢得辩论而困扰。

全新版大学英语综合教程二unit1-unit8选词填空cloze答案
全新版大学英语综合教程二unit1-unit8选词填空cloze答案Unit 1Is there a contrast between learning styles in China and the West? While we should be careful to avoid exaggerating the differences, they do appear to exist. In China, for example, greater priority is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, on the other hand, place more emphasis on promoting creativity in young children, leaving them to pick up skills later. American parents tend to avoid rushing in to assist their children as they try to accomplish a task, thinking in better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Such an approach can, on occasion, be mistaken for neglecting one’s parental duties by those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantages, and it may well be worthwhile to search for a superior method that would combine the best of both worlds.Unit2If you visited Karl Green, you might not at first sight think he was well-off . Most of what he owns is rather dated and he will readily admit to falling into the bottom income bracket . Yet he would deny that he is poor, for he feels that his life is full of less tangible riches . Rather than devoting himself to the pursuit of money before all else, he cherishes the pleasures of friendship. His lack of interest in possessions does, however, sometimes make him feel out of place in today’s materialistic society and he still clearly feels hurt when he remembers the abrupt departure of a girlfriend who did not share his views. Yet there are many who admire him, particularly for his focus on helping the poor through collecting donations each Christmas. Unit3Our dad is typical of the older generation. You can certainly say he gives our welfare his constant attention. Sometimes, however, we wish he wouldn’t try quite so hard. To be frank, he seems to have a talent for embarrassing us by making dumb remarks. He should know better than that,but he never seems to learn and just goes on making the same old mistakes repeatedly . The result is that we live in constant dread of his well-intentioned interference in our affairs. Mom is no help, as you can bet she will always see things from his point of view rather than from ours. Overall, though, he’s awonderful dad and I assure you I wouldn’t trade him for anyone in the world.Unit 4With the Internet we can escape into another world at the click of a button. For many this virtual world is a dream come true. They find they can do away with the daily routines and stay inside for weeks and everything from home. Other, however, may find the virtual world a nightmare . It is especially annoying when the Internet connection is slow and everything crawls at a snail’s space. The computer does not take in your messages nor does it spit out data . Still others, who get the virtual world, may find communicating face-to-face too emotional and unbearable. At times they feel this so strongly that they have to flee from real human contact, hurrying to get back on line to the comfort and safety of a less demanding world.Unit5The following is how Michael Stone looks back on that day's competition.In my mind's eye I can see every detail of that pole vault. The bar was set at a new height.As I heard the crowd groan,I knew my competitor had failed to clear it.It was time for my mind with anxiety.I was tense and my palm began to sweat . I tried to shake off the tension, but was unsuccessful. At the critical moment, I remembered my mothe's advice to breathe deeply and brought myself under control . Then I was off , up and away, Soaring like an eahle , just as I did in my recurring dreams. The thump of my landing brought me back to earth. I had done it! This was no mere tantasy, but the real thing. All the sweat and hard work had paid off. Friends were rushing to congratulate me and I was surrounded by numerous clicking cameras of the media.Unit6Isn’t it strange how chance can play such a large part in what we become? If Carolyn hadn’t stumbled into that engineering course, she would never have become an engineer. At the time she did not know the first thing about anything mechanical. But when it comes to hard work, she is no stacker. She threw herself into study and joined in the project to make a hybrid vehicle. She admits that she often found studying math difficult, but she gritted her teeth and got on with it, working on the premise that math is a hard subject for most people. Girls, she argues, are no more at a disadvantage in this respect than boys. Nonetheless, she still had moments of panic when she found making progress particularly difficult.Carolyn concludes that we should not allow cultural expectations tolimit our horizons, for we are far more flexible in what we can achieve than they would imply.Unit7A fascinating feature of the English language is its tolerance of new words and phrases, either borrowed or invented.There exists no authority to examine each new addition to the language, to determine what is acceptable and to ban what is not. True, some people do think that borrowed words corrupt the language. They think the language is running out of control. At one time, influenced by the intellectual elite in France, some people came up with the idea of establishing an academy to maintain the purity of the English language. Fortunately the idea never took hold. Massive borrowing from a rich, variety of sources was, as a result, left free to greatly enrich the language.Unit8Rachel Carson provides a vivid description of an American town that seemed to be living under a wicked spell (1) .The town was stricken(2) by a whole series of misfortunes(3).Its surroundings(4),once full of apple blossom(5)and the song of migrant(6)birds,had changed dramatically. The bird had deserted(7) the area,leaving the countryside in silence(8). Farm animals sickened(9)and died. Chicks ceased to hatch(10) The people naturally puzzled(11) over the cause of their troubles . Some felt that perhaps they had no one to blame but themselves for ceasing to live in harmony with (12) nature.。
