英语专业综合英语Unit7练习答案Unit 7 How America LivesText Comprehension1. Which of the following is NOT a major aspect of the American life discussed by the author?A. Agriculture and transportation.B. Marriage and women's social status.C. Social welfare and education.D. Family value and housing.Key: [ A ]2. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1). Young people still get married, but the divorce rate is higher than the remarriage rate because many don't want to raise children. [ F ]2). The author welcomes the freer patterns of today's courtship and marriage because many young kids of his time suffered bitterly. [ T ]3). Today still very few women in universities are going up to the athletic programs and demanding a just share of the physical education budget. [ F ]4). American public schools today are inferior to those decades ago. [ T ]5). Builders seem not willing to erect small homes for young married couples because it is not very profitable. [ T ] Writing StrategiesThis text is an essay of exposition, for it presents solid facts and major problems about American social life, though the writer inserts his own ideas at times. The whole article is clearlyorganized, concentrating on the major changes and problems in current American society. The paragraphs are developed by the deductive method. Each paragraph contains a topic sentence, which is proved, explained, or illustrated. For example, each of the first three paragraphs begins with a topic sentence. Can you point out the topic sentences of paragraphs 4-8?It is easy to see that each paragraph starts with a topic sentence:Paragraph 4: "American women are changing the rules."Paragraph 5: "America is worried about its schools."Paragraph 6: "Some Americans must live on welfare."Paragraph 7: "America cannot find housing for its young families."Paragraph 8: "Our prospects are still good."In order to impressively illustrate, prove, or support the topic statements, the author employs various writing strategies, such as comparison and contrast that are used to show the similarities and differences concerning the issues under discussion. For instance, the beginning paragraph contains five sentences that tell us the relevant similarities and differences by means of comparison and contrast. Can you pick out some sentences in other paragraphs that show a relevant contrast?In Paragraph 2: "The 1980 election, especially for the Senate and House of Representatives, signaled a decided turn to the right insofar as political and social attitudes were concerned. It is as if our country spent the 1960s and 1970s jealously breaking out of old restraints and now wishes to put the brakes on, as cautious people often do after a binge."In Paragraph 4: "Thirty years ago I could not have imagined a group of women employees suing a major corporation formillions of dollars of salary which, they alleged, had been denied them because they had been discriminated against. Nor could I imagine women in universities going up to the men who ran the athletic programs and demanding a just share of the physical education budget. But they are doing this —and with the support of many men who recognize the justice of their claims."In Paragraph 5: "If I had a child today, I would send her or him to a private school for the sake of safety, for the discipline that would be enforced and for the rigorous academic requirements. But I would doubt that the child would get any better education that I did in my good public school. The problem is that good public schools are becoming pitifully rare, and I would not want to take the chance that the one I sent my children to was inadequate."In Paragraph 6: "In the bad old days she might have known destitution, but with family assistance she was able to hold her children together and produced three fine, tax-paying citizens." (This sentence implies a contrast: it is not the case nowadays.) In Paragraph 9: "I think of America as having the oldest form of government on earth, because since we started our present democracy in 1789, every other nation has suffered either parliamentary change or revolutionary change."As can be seen in the text, the tone is mainly objective, and it is definite and resolute when the writer expresses obligations as well as his attitudes or opinions. For example, in Paragraph 6, we find two sentences: "Some Americans must live on welfare." and "…some kind of social welfare assistance must be doled out to those who cannot find jobs." These two sentences resolutely express the moral obligation to those Americans who cannot find jobs and make the writer's attitude absolutely clear. Now listsome other examples in the text to show that the tone is definite or resolute when the writer expresses obligations and his attitudes or opinions.The following examples show the definite or resolute tone of the writer.In Paragraph 1: "In a time of rapid change it is essential that we remember how much of the old we cling to."In Paragraph 2: "We should expect to see a reaffirmation of traditional family values, sharp restraints on pornography, a return to religion and a rejection of certain kinds of social legislation. "In Paragraph 3: "Without reservation, I applaud the freer patterns of today, although I believe that it's been difficult for some families to handle the changes."In Paragraph 5: "The problem is that good public schools are becoming pitifully rare, and I would not want to take the chance that the one I sent my children to was inadequate."In Paragraph 7: "America cannot find housing for its young families. I consider this the most serious danger confronting family life in America, and I am appalled that the condition has been allowed to develop? For a major nation to show itself impotent to house its young people is admitting a failure that must be corrected."Language Work1. Explain the underlined part in each sentence in your own words.1). They belong to churches, even though they attend somewhat less frequently.→ believe in Christianity and are members of the Christian churches2). The 1980 election signaled a decided turn to the right insofar as political and social attitudes were concerned.→ insofar as: to the extent that; were concerned: were involved3). Without reservation, I applaud the freer patterns of today.→ With whole-hearted support4). For a major nation to show itself impotent to house its young people is admitting a failure that must be corrected.→ to display its inability5. We have a physical setting of remarkable integrity.→an extraordinarily unspoilt physical environment2. Fill in each blank with one of the two words from each pair in their appropriate forms and note the difference of meaning between them.restraint constraintExplanation: Restraint and constraint are sometimes interchangeable in use, meaning control over the way you behave which prevents you from doing what you want to do. But restraint can specially refer to calm, controlled, and unemotional behaviour, while constraint is something that limits or controls what you can do.1. Options are offered subject to staff availability and timetable constraints.2. Reminding all concerned that violence breeds violence, they repeat their appeal for calm and restraint.3. The appalled chief warned his violent officers to show restraint.4. We have just been looking at the number of coal mine accidents, and they can certainly be a big constraint on what China is striving for.expect hopeExplanation: Both words pertain to the attitude of looking forward to something that is to occur in the future. Hope suggests looking forward exclusively to some positive or favorable outcome; it may be well-founded in probability or completely beyond the scope of the possible. Expect suggests looking forward either to a positive or to a negative outcome, but the point of this word is that it concerns itself with supposed certainties. Also, the two words fall into different sentence structures: to hope that / or hope to do / to expect something.1. We are expecting rain again late this afternoon according to the weather report.2. A draw seems to be the best they can hope for.3. I can't manage that by myself, and I don't see why it should be expected of me either.4. Diplomats hope the meetings will help build mutual trust.rejection refusalExplanation: Both words mean the unwillingness to accept, receive, or take into account a person or thing. Rejection refers to the failure to accept or grant and carries overtones of casting aside as useless, valueless or unsuitable, while refusal means the failure to comply with or the failure to do something with overtones of firmness and even rudeness.1. The rejection of the plan by the Congress three weeks ago led to a major protest by the administration.2. Their refusal to compromise will inevitably invite more criticism from the UN.3. His refusal to talk was sheer stubbornness.4. The rejection of such initiatives indicates that the voters are unconcerned about environmentalallege assertExplanation Assert means to state with firmness and force, whereas allege means to state without offering necessary proof.1. Mr. Helm planned to assert that the bill violated the First Amendment.2. She has strong feelings about the alleged growth of violence against female officers.3. The Nordic countries have been quick to assert their interest in the development of the Baltic countries.4. The enquirer dug deeper into the alleged financial misdeeds of his government.3. Fill in the blank in each sentence with a word or phrase taken from the box, using its appropriate form.allege prospect ponder recipient discriminated compassionate destitution grievously reaffirmation dreadful binge dole1). When his prospective employers learned that he smoked, they said they wouldn't hire him.2). In him the polarities of life are resolved and balanced, male and female, strength and compassion, severity and mercy.3). Inarticulate and rather shy, he had always dreaded speaking in public.4). Allegations of brutality and theft have been leveled at the army.5). Our government cannot keep doling out money to those who are fastidious about the jobs offered to them.6). He was deeply grieved by the sufferings of the common people.7). Many studies have shown that "restrained eaters" will eventually binge and relapse.8). He reaffirmed his commitment to the country's economic reform program.4. Make a sentence of your own for each of the given words with meanings other than those used in the text. You may change the part of speech of these words.1). couple→ Over-use of those drugs, coupled with poor diet, leads to physical degeneration.2). tax→Overcrowding has taxed the city's ability to deal with waste.3). turn→ She announced that she was going to turn professional.4). just→ It's not just a financial matter.5). sharp→ In the hot sun the rain-washed herbs smelled sharp, spicy, and sweet all at once.6). husky→ His voice was husky with grief.5. Fill in each blank with a conjunct, selected from those supplied in the parenthesis, which provides the most natural development of thought.``Thank you very much for lending me this book. (1) Actually (Furthermore/So/Actually) I'm afraid I didn't understand much of it. (2) Consequently (Consequently/On the other hand/However) I read less than half of it! (3) Nevertheless (Thus/Besides/Nevertheless) it's a subject that interests me. (4) Moreover (Therefore/Moreover/Consequently) it's one that I need to know more about for my work. (5) Besides (Infact/Thus/Besides), this isn't the first time that I've tried to find out something about it, as you may remember. (6) Therefore (Therefore/In fact/And yet) you can see I'm not giving up! (7) However (Furthermore/However/Thus) I haven't got a lot of time to spend on it. (8) So (So/Nevertheless/On the other hand) perhaps you'd be good enough to send me that simpler book you mentioned.6. Put a word in each blank that is appropriate for the context.Most Americans have great vigor and enthusiasm. They prefer to discipline themselves (1) rather than be disciplined by others. They pride themselves on their independence, their right to make up their own minds. They are prepared to (2) take the initiative, even when there is a risk in doing so. They have courage and do not give in easily. They will take any sort of job (3) anywhere rather than be unemployed. They do not care to be looked after by the government. The (4) average American changes his or her job nine or ten times during his or her working life.Americans have a warmth and friendliness which is (5) less superficial than any foreigners think. They are considered sentimental. When on ceremonial (6) occasions they see a flag, or attend parades celebrating America's glorious past, tears may come to their eyes. Reunions with family and friends (7) tend to be emotional, too. They like to dress correctly, even if "correctly" means flamboyantly. They love to boast, (8) though often with tongue in cheek. They can laugh at themselves and their country, and they can be very self-critical, while remaining always intensely patriotic.The U. S. A. is reputed to be a classless society. There is certainly not much social snobbery or job snobbery. The manualworker is usually quite at (9) ease in any company. This is partly explained by the fact that people of all (10) income groups go together to the same schools. Americans are far more race-conscious than they are class-conscious.Translation1.

Lunch is for them a kind of gratuity(报酬)paid to the body. They hurriedly toss(抛)it a fruit or a fish and go back to work. Certain writers, in rebellion, have founded the club, "Three Hours for Lunch', but they are an agreeable exception. Even at dinner, general conversation is rare. After dinner the men linger(逗留) at the table, a custom inherited from England, but they only talk to his neighbor. In New York your host will often propose taking you to the theatre, or else he will provide a pianist, a singer, a lecturer. The idea of leaving the guests to themselves, and expecting them to get pleasure out of meeting one another, astonishes and even shocks him. His excessive (过渡的) modesty does not permit his imagining thefact that his friends can be happy merely in being in his house, with one another. He treats them like children. On Christmas Eve you will see, in some of the pleasant homes in New York, Christmas trees for grown people. In other places, after a dinner at which you exchange ideas, they will be a magician(魔术师) who will do his best to amuse the elderly people. There you must realize that the absence of conversation in American homes comes, not from absence of ideas or lack of intelligence of understanding, but from an unconquerable shyness and a great self-distrust.1. The Americans hurry through lunch because ________.A. they are ambitious of success in their careerB. they have rebelled against English customsC. they don't think it is importantD. talking while eating is impolite2. The author believes that___________.A. people are capable of getting pleasure out of meeting one anotherB. people enjoy their food more when it is attractively servedC. Americans don't want to act like cultured gentlemenD. Americans don't think deeply enough to be good conversationalists3. The author talks about some American writers who________.A. wrote stories about American eating habitsB. decided to enjoy leisurely lunchesC. eat while they workD. wrote short plays to be presented at night clubs4. The author feels that Americans lack_______.A. understandingB. self-confidenceC. self-controlD. a rebellious spirit5. According to the author, in England_________.A. the guests expect the host to have entertainment for themB. the men remain at the table to talkC. people don't consider Christmas dinner importantD. the men usually spend three hours at dinner(2)"What we want is rest," said Harris."Rest and a complete change," said George, " Change of scene, and no need to think about anything."I agreed with George, and suggested we should look for some quiet place far from crowds and the noisy world.Harris said he thought it would be terrible. He said he knew the kind of place I meant, where everybody went to bed at eight o' clock, and you couldn't get an Evening News for love or money, and had to walk ten miles to the nearest cinema. "No," he said, "if you want rest and a change, you had better take a sea trip."I was strongly against a sea trip. A sea trip does you good when you are going to have a couple of months of it, but for a week, it is pointless.George said, "Let's go up the river. "He said we should have fresh air and rest, the constant change of scene would broaden our minds, and the hard work would give us a good appetite(食欲)and make us sleep well.Harris said he didn't think George ought to do anything that might make him sleepier than he already was but all the same he agreed the river would suit him, Harris, perfectly. It suited me too and we therefore decided to go up the river.1. George's idea of rest and a complete change is_______.A. having nothing on his mindB. not having any worries in lifeC. relaxing in new placesD. not thinking about new scenes2. When Harris said, "You couldn't get an Evening News for love or money', he meant "you couldn't get a paper________。

Script (Book One)Unit 1 My First JobZhang Gang pitched in as soon as he got a job at a hotel. He had to be punctual, hard-working and polite to the guests so as to meet the hotel’s standards, as he couldn’t afford to lose the job. He still owed a friend 800 yuan. He needed money. As he had just started, there was no hope of being promoted and it was not wise to bargain with the manager. His pay was 400 yuan a month. He figured that he would be able to pay back the money he had borrowed in four months’ time. He cleaned up the dining-hall twice a day and carried luggage for guests. His family didn’t like his taking a job as a janitor. Yet, for him, working at the hotel was a source of pride because he could earn money through honest labor. He beamed when he got his pay at the end of the first month.Unit 2Charles had just graduated from college. He worked at a food factory and earned enough to get by. He was still living with his parents, but wanted to move to a flat as soon as he could afford it. He had a girlfriend and hoped to get married and start a family. But he had to wait until his income went up so that he could save some money. His girlfriend, Clara, who was the same age as he, worked at a cleaning business, and earned less than Charles. They didn’t want to depend on their parents.Someday, they hope to have a council house, but for now they have to have patience.Unit 3 What’s in a Name?Strange things always happen to us. This morning, I went to a software company for a job interview. Since I was early, the receptionist asked me to wait for Mr. Lambert with two other girls who had come for the interview too. Just then a man about my age came in and gave his name to the receptionist. We couldn’t help wondering what he had come for when we heard him saying “job interview.” The receptionist seemed a bit surprised. She pointed to a seat next to us and said something to him. I could see that the man was rather embarrassed when we girls looked at him. I wondered if he knew that secretarial work is usually only open to women. It was a bit strange for a man to want to be a secretary.Unit 4 Waiting for a CallA woman is waiting impatiently at home, wondering if the man she loves will phone her. She has been waiting a long time. She doesn’t call him first because she doesn’t like to disturb his work. She imagines what she will say when he finally rings and decides to be sweet to him because she was nice to him at first. As time passes, she gets more and more impatient, until, by the end of the story, she is unable to wait any longerand starts to dial the number.Unit 5 English as Seen by AmericansAn African chief came to London for the first time when he was well past sixty. He had never left his own country before. A friend of mine went to call on him the morning after his arrival and asked him how he was and whether he was enjoying himself. The chief said he felt well but had had a frightening experience earlier that morning. “I went to Victoria station,” He said. “As a train came nearer and nearer to where I stood, all the doors swung open, and while the train was still moving, a great many men jumped out and began to run towards me.”Unit 6 A Delightful VillageI live in a large village in the countryside by the beach. Around my village lie fertile fields, in which grow a variety of crops throughout the year. In such a lovely environment you can avoid many urban troubles such as noise, pollution, and heavy traffic. I love to walk into the open country from time to time in the early morning, to enjoy the fresh air and watch the sun rise above the horizon. Through my village stretches a wide road, along the sides of which stand tall silver-barked trees. On fixed dates, the road serves as a free market. It is alive with local people who come to sell their farm produce and buy things for their households.Unit 7 Love in BloomIt was a bright, sunny day in early autumn. The Browns had gone to the country for an outing. The sunlight now slanted at a different angle and there was a breeze. The family finally reached the river. The parents began to make a fire. The kids took off their clothes and put them away. They got out their bathing suits, put them on and walked into the river. They swam and played in the water. Then there came the nice smell and sound of sizzling burgers. Before long, dinner was ready. The family sat beside the fire and enjoyed the meal immensely. The kids were beside themselves with joy. They were aware that the new term would soon begin. They were only too glad to have a bit of fun before they went back to school.。

Chances are that you will receive three (1) different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.Perceiving goes on in our (2) mind. Of the three people who look out of the window, one may say that he sees a (3) policemen giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic (4) jam at the intersection. The (5) third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to (6) cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of (7) what the senses — in this case our eyes — tell us.Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just (8) how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up (9) experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the (10) results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene. Hints:1) different: Here you can use an adjective to mean “being not like each other in one ormore ways”.2) mind: Here you can use a word referring to the thinking ability.3) policemen: Who can give a motorist a ticket?4) jam: What do you always see in the rush hour?5) third: This refers to the last person of the three.6）cross: What is the word you can use when you want to express “go to the other side of th e stress”?7) what: Here you need a conjunction to refer to a situation that is unknown or has not beenspecified.8) how: Here you need a conjunction to ask about the way in which something happens oris done.9) experiments: What do psychologists do when they want to find out something?10) results: Here you can use a word meaning “outcome”.Page 1361. If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; if you teach him how to catch fish, you feed him for a lifetime.2.We can lose a pint of blood without feeling anything, but if we lose a great deal of blood, we feel weak and cold.3.Don’t pretend to know what you don’t and don’t pretend not to know what you really know.4.If you want someone on your side, if you want to persuade someone to see your point of view, one of the best ways is to approach him with sincere kindness and caring.5.Successful people are on a permanent vacation, not because they don’t work hard but because they love what they do.6.Don’t keep things which do not belong to you; don’t love the person who does not care about you.7.Helen took dance classes, but she had no natural grace or sense of rhythm, so eventually gave up the idea of becoming a dancer.8.

What does she mean when she says “But Arkansas is interesting that way”?She is suggesting that things don’t always work properly, or as you expect.4. What was she worried about in the snowstorm near San Bernardino?She was worried about the possibility of hitting the mountains, as the visibility was poor.5. How did she feel about the danger?She was not too worried about it, and she seemed to accept it as normal.TapescriptFlying Your Own PlaneMy husband always wanted to fly a plane. So once for Father’s Day my two daughters and I ... made an arrangement for lessons with a local teacher ... flying teacher. And I told them, “Now I can always get a new husband, but you can’t get a new father.” And so they said, “Well, maybe we’d better not give him those lessons,” but we did and he learned to fly and he bought his own plane. Well it was a twin-engine plane. And it would go ... it could go as say three thousand miles at a shot, and without having to stop for gas. But then people can’t go that long, so we would fly just so far, like from California to Phoenix for instance and have lunch and get oxygen in the plane and then fly on to maybe St. Louis and spend the night. And the next day, stop at Lexington maybe for lunch. And then that night we would be in Princeton to visit our daughter. So it was always great travelling across country in that plane.We had a house in Arkansas and we would fly there occasionally to check on it. And that was always very interesting landing there. The first time we tried it, the landing strip was between a lake and a mountain and the windsock was all worn out so we couldn’t see what way the wind was blowing except by looking at the waves on the lake. So that was entertaining trying to land in that little dangerous spot. But Arkansas is interesting that way.And of course sometimes it could be quite worrying. I know on one trip back home we came into a storm. That was at San Bernardino and somehow we got caught up in snow. We were trapped and we didn’t know how to get out of there because we had the mountains between us and home. And we had to call on Edwards Airforce Base to get us over the mountains.Little things like that made it entertaining. And then once on a trip to Seattle, the landing gear light came on saying that it wasn’t working. And that way you don’t know if the wheels are down really because you can’t see under there. And we were coming home an d it was a Sunday night and no one was at the airport so we couldn’t fly by the tower to let someone see if the wheels were down. So we really had a kind of chance to land it. So we didn’t know if we were going to land on wheels or on the bottom of the airplane.So there were interesting moments like that. How did my husband put it? “You spend thousands and thousands of hours with just boring ordinary flying, punctuated by moments of sheer terror.” But we always made it. Sometimes I thought we weren’t going to, but it was fun.。
