新世纪高等院校英语专业综合教程第2版第3册(综合英语3)第一单元知识点及课后答案
●Global Reading✧Structural Analysis of the TextThis text is a piece of narrative writing, in which the author tells about her experience during the first year at university, which at first seems to be very awkward but turns out to be on the right track at last.In the text, three incidents are narrated by the author: 1) the first is about her going into the wrong classroom; 2) the second is about her falling down in the cafeteria; 3) the last is about her witnessing the same embarrassing fall happening to someone admired by her.Despite the differences between these three incidents, they actually revolve around one theme: The growth of the author, who is able to draw lessons from the mistakes she has made and finally succeeds in adjusting herself to the college life.✧Rhetorical Features of the TextDetailed descriptions of events are everywhere to be seen in this text, which is a dominant feature of narrative writing. Since the description of an event will involve a lot of movements or actions, compound sentences and compound-complex sentences have been used frequently in the text.For examples:I first began to wonder what I was doing on a college campus anyway when my parents drove off, leaving me standing pitifully in a parking lot, wanting nothing more than to find my way safely to my dorm room. (Paragraph 1)I settled into my chair and tried to assume the scientific pose of a biology major, bending slightly forward, tensing my arms in preparation for furious note-taking, and cursing under my breath. (Paragraph 5)●Detailed Reading✧Questions1. Why did the author have the impression that “everyone on campus was watching me”? (Paragraph 1)→The author, being over-sensitive, was uneasy with her identity as a freshman. She thought a new student would attract others’ attention, as what she did or said was liable to be too naïve to be right. That feeling is a typical symptom of lacking in self-confidence.2. Why did the author exclaim “What confidence, what reserve, what muscles!” when she saw the football player? (Paragraph 2)→College life was a new experience to the author. That she marveled at the real football player showed her excitement about her new life. And more importantly, her response revealed her admiration of an image which was almost exactly the opposite of her own. This admiration would later become the motivation of her change.3. How many questions are used in Paragraphs 3, 4 and 5? Why does the author raise these→Four elliptical questions are used in these paragraphs. Being a freshman, the author was not well acquainted with campus life. She was at a loss as to what to do when something unexpected happened. These questions are used to show her bewilderment.4. Why did she dine on junk food for the next three days? (Paragraphs 6-8)→Because she thought she had become the laughing-stock on campus. She couldn’t stand being laughed at by all the students when she turned up in the cafeteria.5. What was the key lesson Evelyn Herald learned during her first few weeks in college? (Paragraphs 10-14)→The key lesson she learned during her first few weeks in college was that she realized she didn’t have to pay too much attention to what other people were thinking about her. The fresh campus life was her big chance to do her own things and be her own person. She might well relax herself and stop worrying about making mistakes because people all grow by trial and error.✧Group discussion: What lessons have you learned from Evelyn’s experiences after readingthe article “Fresh Start”? Share the experiences when you first came to college.✧Words and ExpressionsParagraph 1distinct a.clearly seen, heard, felt, understood, etc.; noticeablee.g. Now that the boss was no longer present, there was a distinct change in her attitude.The children have distinct memories of their grandfather in his last days.Comparison: distinct & distinctivedistinct: Something that is distinct can clearly be seen, heard, smelled, etc.e.g. There is a distinct smell of beer in this room.distinctive: It means having a special quality, character, or appearance that is different and easy to recognize.e.g. Beer has a very distinctive smell; it’s quite distinct from the smell of wine.Practice:One of the _________ features of this book is its __________ illustrations.本书特点之一就是具有清楚明了的图解。

Unit1Working Holiday AbroadKey to ExercisesOpenerGoing on a working holiday has many advantages:•A working holiday visa grants you access to a country for a longer period of time than a standard tourist visa.•The travel is sustainable in the sense that you can keep refilling your travel funds with employment.•You can try different types of jobs,even the ones that you normally wouldn’t do when at home. And in this sense,a working holiday could be a life-changing experience.•You are more likely to meet and make friends with the locals,not just other tourists.They can introduce you to a new culture.•A working holiday makes a good break.A popular time to sign up for a working holiday is the break between high school and college or the break after college and before entering the real working world.Transcript:A working holiday is when you spend a significant amount of time in another country and have the working rights to back it up.You are able to pick up a job or two(or6)and break that arrangement up by traveling or moving on to a new location in the country.In general,a working holiday visa grants you access to a country for a longer period of time than a standard tourist visa.In Australia,for example,the typical tourist visa is for3months while a working holiday visa is for12months.With a working holiday visa,you can work as you go,meaning you won’t necessarily go into debt while spending time abroad.Your method of travel may vary.Some prefer to travelup-front for several months and then spend the rest of the time working in one or two differentlocations.Others prefer to work for a month,travel for a month and then work for a month again. Either way,the travel is sustainable in the sense that you can keep refilling your travel funds with employment.With a working holiday visa,you are basically given the opportunity to test out any type of job,and you are probably put in a position to accept ones that you normally wouldn’t when at home.You never know what you might discover.A working holiday,in this sense,could end up being a life-changing experience.Moreover,by taking up employment in a country abroad,you are more likely to meet and make friends with the locals,not just other tourists,and that can do wonders for really introducing you to a new culture.A working holiday also makes a good break.A popular time to sign up for a working holiday is that break between high school and college or the break after college and before entering the real working ter working holiday experiences are often used by individuals as a way to explore the new and unknown.Taking part in a working holiday is a great idea to consider.Reading&InteractingI.Understanding the Text1.Text OrganizationPart Five Paras.13–14The author would love to live the expat life again somewhere else,although there is also the part of her

you to take employment,rather than just being an ordinary tourist type that allows you to do sightseeing only.Alongside that,of course,you need to book your ticket.Once that is all done you will be ready to set off.Don’t let the thought of stepping outside your comfort zone frighten you,don’t let it stress you out.You may set outon your own,travelling solo,but you will soon make friends with many of the new people you meet on the way.So,start browsing the Internet to see where you would like to start your adventure!4.2TranslationIf you are fully prepared,your working holiday abroad can be one of the most rewarding experiences you can ever have.Here are some tips.First,you need to choose your destination wisely by browsing relevant websites.Then fill out the necessary paperwork,apply for a visa and book your flight as early as possible.Try to learn some new job skills prior to your departure, which can give you more employment options abroad and help you save up enough money for travel.Within weeks of arriving in a foreign country,people often feel stressed out or kind of confused,so be prepared for the emotional stress.Make friends with local people instead of taking the adventure solo.And whenever possible,go on sightseeing excursions and capture the places you visit in words or st,always follow your heart and do what you truly want to do.Reading&Comprehendingprehension Check for Reading11.F2.F3.T4.T5.F6.F7.T8.F9.T10.F2.Translation1.我现在意识到，为了适应每个新角色、在各种行当跟不同的人群一起工作，我学到了很多。

Grammar1) Nominal ClausesThere are five main types of nominal clauses: that-clauses, interrogative sub-clauses, nominal relative clauses, nominal to-infinitive clauses and nominal -ing clauses. Nominal clauses function like noun phrases. They can occur as subject, object, complement, apposition, and prepositional complement.For example:The hope is [that we will succeed]. (complement)The hope [that we will succeed] is unrealistic. (apposition)[What you do] does not concern me. (subject)I didn’t ask [where you live]. (object)I had prepared myself very carefully for [what I must say]. (prepositional complement)[To send him money now] would be [to put the cart before the horse].
