新世纪大学英语B2U2习题答案

Listen and RespondScriptAn InvitationA woman saw three old men sitting in her front yard. She said, “I don’t think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.”“We do not go into a house together,” they replied.“Why is that?” she wanted to know.One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth, this is Success, and I am Love.” Then he added, “Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.”Then the woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband said, Let’s invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth.” His wife disagrees, “My dear, why don’t we invite Success?” Then the daughter made a suggestion: “Wouldn’t it be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love.”“Let’s take our daughter’s advice,: said the father.So the woman went out and asked, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.” Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also gut up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: “I only invited Love. Why are you coming in?The old men replied together: “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever HE goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success.”Task One1)They are Wealth, Success and Love.2)No. because they had different ideas as to what they wanted most.3)Where there is Love, there are Wealth and Success. In other words, love is the essence of ourlife and thus the basis for our pursuit of wealth and success.Task Two1) hungry to eat2) together3) Wealth Success Wouldn’t it be better to invite love4) Love guest5) surprised6)Wealth or Success have stayed outTask OneDiscovering the Main Ideas1.1) No. It is because love is a feeling that can only be felt but cannot be clearly described.2) “Puppy loves” are brief, silly, adventurous but harmless.3) Love takes time to blossom and it takes a lot of understanding, caring, sharing and affection to develop into maturity.4) It was the distance between men and women that helped preserve the holiness of love in the author’s parents’ generation.5) The media have exposed the younger generation to things that have fast paced their sensibilitiesso much that taking things slow requires effort.6) They tend to value physical beauty, closeness, passion and acquiring. The author thinks that they should value inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing.Reading between the Lines1.Love is still indispensable to us, even though we are so busy pursuing material things for oureveryday life. For this we should feel grateful.2.These often remind us of those days when people of our parents’ generation were courting. Itwas an era of constraints, restraints, respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. But such an era is gone for ever, for young people today tend to behave differently.3.The younger generation is more selfish: they care too much about what they can get instead ofwhat they can share.4.People in a relationship need to do much more than just sending gifts to their lovers. Moreimportantly, they should devote themselves, heart and soul, to each other.5.After repeatedly experiencing hasty, casual and insensible relationships, we have becomeemotionally tired and confused, so when true love comes we are unable to respond to it with sue enthusiasm, passion and devotion.Checking Y our VocabularyW ord Detective1. 1) engaged2) grief3) manipulate4) agonizing5) maximum6)fascinate7) silverware8) grace2. 1)moist2) fit into3) In the course of4) glory5) overjoyed6)clip7)in vain8) yieldChecking Y our Comprehension1.1) He was dying in bed of a serious disease.2)They were long and large, His fingers were long and square, laced with fine veins all the way to the tips. His nails squared off the ends of his fingers, with clearly defined white edges. He had always taken great care to keep them neat. They were not tough hands; nor soft, either.3) She could feel pure and honest expressions of his love.4) He took very good care of them.5) Her husband held her hands in the most frightening moments of his illnesses and in the deepest, darkest moment of his life.6)She discovered an opened pack of emery boards.7) At the sight of the emery boards, she could not control her grief any longer and broke into tears.8) She felt the clasp was as reassuring as his father’s.21)Holding one of my hands tightly, he expressed his pure love for me as w ell as his wish to be together with me forever.2)I tried to bear in mine what his hands were like because I knew he would soon leave us forever.3) When death was drawing near, he clasped may hands to seek comfort and support from me and to express his pure and deep love for me.4) Since my husband had been using them before he died, L like to use them now so that I could find myself mentally closer to him.5)Even though he had died, my husband’s way of expressing love through his handclasp had been passed down to our son, which was a lasting comfort to me.Optional Classroom Activities2)”Magnificent building” is used to imply that love should be developed in the same way as we build or construct a building. and that, like a building, love should be based on something. “To blossom” is also a metaphor, which implies that love can be as beautiful as a flower but it takes time to have it develop or grow.3)Here “fed” is used metaphorically, meaning that, people of her parents’ generation were taught to pursue love and relationships strictly according to the “ideals”of the time, these ideals nourishing their mental needs much as food does the body.4)”Baggage” is used to indicate the heavy burden that school children have to shoulder when they pursue “purely unemotional relationships.”5)”To forge” implies that relationships are like iron and require plenty of tempering before they become as solid and strong as steel.6)”Frozen” and “icy presence” are used to imply that during the seven-and-a-half months after her husband died, the author had managed to bury the grief for her husband deep down in her heart as if it had turned into something like ice.7)”Was undone” emphasizes the sudden release or outbreak of her grief, as if a knot came loose or untied unexpectedly.Enhance Y our Language AwarenessW ords in ActionW orking with W ords and ExpressionsIncreasing Y our Word PowerGrammar Reviews1.1) Sitting on the stairs was / On the stairs was sitting2)Over the wall came/ flew3) Round the corner was4) Then finally came5) Under the table was lying6) At/On the top of the hill stood2.1)The beaver chews down trees to get food and material to build its home with.2)Do your parents think Tom is a nice boy to go out with?3)The goals for which he has fought all his life seem unimportant to him now.4) NONE5) The essay starts by asking a question, to which the author then gives a positive answer.Translation1.1) In either friendship or love/In both friendship and love , you should never expect to take /receive the maximum while you give the minimum..2) I built all my hopes on his promise, only to find that he was not a man of sincerity at all.3) We took Mother to all the best hospitals we could find, but all out efforts were in vain; she failed to survive the disease.4) V alentine’s Day is an annual holiday celebrated on February 14, a perfect day to express love to the object of your/one’s affection.5) In the information era, communications with far-away friends via e-mail can be almost/ virtually simultaneous.6)Love takes time, for it is not forged until you have grown used to the other’s company and learned to appreciate the other.2.After dinner, we all sat around the hearth. Aunt Susan was still in the grief of losing Uncle Robert. In soft voice she told us about their past years. Uncle Robert joined the army shortly after they were engaged. Given the critical situation at the time when lots of army men didn’t return alive, you can imagine how much overjoyed Aunt Susan was to see Uncle Robert come back safe and sound from the European battlefield. Then they got married and brought up five children. For all those years, their affection for each other grew stronger in the course of overcoming difficulties and hardships in life. I was fascinated by Uncle Susan’s story, which was totally different from my ideal of love. They practiced giving and sharing in their daily life instead of pursuing passion a nd romance. Amazingly, such love lasted through their whole life. But different peneratTheme-Related WritingSample Essay One:Male-female relations are indispensable to adults all through their lives. But different generations handle them differently. Our parents’generation lived in an era of constraints, restraints respect, admiration, and plenty of romance. They kept a distance from people of the opposite gender in order to preserve the holiness of love and relationships.My generation, on the other hand, began with countless crushes for opposite sex just because of their superficial charm. Harmless as they were, the love was as brief as soap bubbles. As we grew up, we came to the stage of developing real relationships, believing that love demanded a lot of give and not so much of take.By comparison, they younger generation is more open-minded and less restricted in handling the matter of love and relationships. They jump on the bandwagon of love with so much haste that it is difficult for them to distinguish between physical attraction and mental compatibilities.In short, the younger generation focuses more on physical beauty, closeness and passion, and they tend to seek what they want from the relationships. They other two generation give priority to inner charm, intimacy, emotion and sharing in dealing with relationships.Sample Essay Two:In order to know about girl students’ opinion about love and life, a survey with girl students was conducted in 2005 in two universities---Chongqing University of Technology and Business and East China Normal University. The survey sought answers to two questions: What do you look for first in a boyfriend? What’s the most important thing for a happy life?About one third of the student chose personality as the top factor in choosing a boyfriend, followed by 27 percent focusing on abilities. Next came common interests and goals, favored by 17 percent, with only 14 percent of students claiming appearance to be uppermost in their minds. Fewer still, 11 percent, rated economic status as the first consideration.As to their views about a happy life, nearly seventy percent of the girls attached the greatest importance to marriage and family. “Career”was given top priority by just under 20 percent, while even fewer, around 9 percent, believed that money was the key to a happy life.Based on the survey, we may conclude that nowadays, girl students generally hold a rational attitude towards love and life. Admittedly, the improved material conditions of life explain why girls take economic status and money rather lightly. But contrary to the popular view that girls are more concerned about self-development in the workplace and social status, they still regard marriage and family life as central to a happy life.。

Whether near his home in Wales, roaming other parts of Britain or even further afield, linguist David Crystal always travels with an insatiable curiosity about the English language. He never fails to meet people with distinctive accents or come across towns with unusual names, and takes the time to explore intriguing turns of phrase, whether rooted deep in Anglo-Saxon origins or fresh off a television set. In his new book, “Walking English,” David Crystal hits the road in search of new linguistic experiences from Wales to Lodz in Poland and California’s Silicon Valley. He joins us in a moment to discuss the lilts, words, catchphrases and grammar he found along the way. David Crystal joins us from his home in Holyhead, Wales. And it’s nice to have you back on the program. Mr. DAVIDCRYSTAL (Author, “Walking English”). Hello, Neal, it’s a real pleasure to be back.Learning English as a Global Language Unit 219u2.indd 192012.8.14 2:58:01 PMNEAL CONAN. And to begin with, how do you define your accent? (Soundbite of laughter) Mr. CRYSTAL. I wish I could. Well, you know, an accent reflects where you’ve been, where you’ve been brought up. And most people these days don’t spend their whole lives in one place. So, whereas once upon a time it was quite easy to almost predict where somebody had come from just by listening to them, you listen to somebody like me and what you hear in this voice you’re hearing now is the first 10 years of my life living in Wales - living in Wales it would have been that sort of accent then. And then the next 10 years of my life living in Liverpool, well, everybody knows the Beatles. The Beatles accent, you know. And there was that sort of accent mixed in with it. And then I lived for 20 years down in the south of England and there was a kind of, you know, southern accent that came on top of the other two. And they’ve all mixed together to produce what you’re hearing now. CONAN. And it’s interesting, you say, in part, your accent depends on who y ou’re speaking with. Your children, for example, grew up in this country. Mr. CRYSTAL. Well, it’s - it’s, you know, as you and I might talk now over the next few minutes, I wouldn’t mind betting that my accent became slightly more American than it might ha ve been before. You know, it’s what happens. Accents change in terms of everything. I mean, that’s a good example.My kids, take the word schedule, you know, schedule in America, of course. Now I was brought up to say shed-ule. But all my kids have been influenced by American English. So, they all say, sked-ule. So, when I talk to them, I say sked-ule as well now. So, I got two pronunciations of the word. And this is very typical of the way language is going. CONAN. I - I had the good fortune to live and work in London for four years and it was my contention that an American could get about two-thirds of the way to a British accent before anybody noticed. (Soundbite of laughter) Mr. CRYSTAL. That’s right. And not just in pronunciation but, also in spelling because an awful lot of the American spellings have come into British English now. Yes, that’s right. I mean, it’s all your fault, you see... (Soundbite of laughter) Mr. CRYSTAL. ...you guys, the other side of the pond. You’ve made all the films, you made all the most successful television programs and things like that. And so, inevitably we are more used to your accent than you are to ours. I mean, one day, when British filmmaking becomes as powerful as Hollywood, it might go the other way round. But I can’t see that happening just yet. CONAN. Well, we used to go to the theatre sometimes and we would hear British actors doing Americans accents. In general they’re much better at American accents than we are at British ones. But nevertheless, there used to be something I used to call the I-80 accent because it sort of wandered all the way across the country. (Soundbite of laughter) Mr. CRYSTAL. Yes, that’s right. It’s very difficult actually to pick up the accent differences within a country if you’re not part of that country. CONAN. Mm-hmm. Mr. CRYSTAL. I mean, I’ve been to America several times and I’ve got to know, you know, some of the accent differences, but I still have great difficulty placing accents in a way that you would have no trouble about.And vice-versa. You know, Americans come over to Britain and they - they don’t - they20Unit 2 Learning English as a Global Languageu2.indd 202012.8.14 2:58:01 PMget the main accents, like say, Scottish English or something like that... CONAN. Mm-hmm. Mr. CR YSTAL. But it’s very difficult to really put your finger on some of the more subtle differences. CONAN.
