大学mooc大学英语综合教程2(集美大学)期末考试答案
解忧书店JieYouBookshop期末考试1单选(2分)Directions: Read the following passages carefully. The passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage.Gender differences are also reflected in the ways that men and women use language. In junior high school, Joy's status will depend on her circle of friends. If her friends are popular, then Joy may enjoy high status at schools. For this reason, Joy and many other girls are interested in gossip, talking about other people and their private lives. If Joy has some information to share about a popular girl at school, this proves that she has a friendship with this girl. In this way Joy can use gossip to gain more status in her school.Tommy, on the other hand, may be less interested in gossip. His status doesn't depend on who his friends are at school. Tommy gains status through his own ability to play sports well or earn high grades. Later in life, Joy may continue to be interested in talking about other people and their lives. Tommy will be less interested in personal talk and more concerned with discussions of sports and news. These give him a chance to gain status by showing others his knowledge.Different ways of speaking are part of gender. As adults, men and women sometimes face difficulties in their communication with each other. Studies of communication show that if a woman tells her husband about a problem, she will expect him to listen and offer sympathy. She may be annoyed when he simply tells her how to solve the problem. Similarly, a husband maybe annoyed when his wife wants to stop and ask a stranger for directions to a park or restaurant. Unlike his wife, he would rather use a map and find his way by himself.Language is also part of the different ways that men and women think about friendship. Most men believe that friendship means doing things together such as camping or playing tennis. Women, on the other hand, usually identify their best friend as someone with whom they talk frequently. Moreover, they often use tag questions to get agreement from their friends. If men and women can understand their differences, they may be able to improve their relationships.Question 1 is based on the above passage.Why are girls interested in gossip?A.Gossip teaches them how to act.B.Gossip allows them to use commands.C.Gossip brings them high status.D.Gossip helps them know about their friends.正确答案：C你选对了2单选(2分)Question 2 is based on the same passage of question 1.What do some boys want to prove by discussing sports?A.They are knowledgeable.B.They are more masculine.C.They are interested in sports.D.They are not interested in personal talking.正确答案：A你选对了3单选(2分)Question 3 is based on the same passage of question 1.What will a woman expect her husband to do if she tells him about a problem?A.Tell her how to solve the problem.B.Listen and show sympathy to her.C.Talk about the problem with her.D.Solve the problem for her.正确答案：B你选对了4单选(2分)Question 4 is based on the same passage of question 1.Men usually show friendship by ________.A.doing things togetherB.agreeing with each otherC.talking together oftenD.camping or playing tennis together正确答案：A你选对了5单选(2分)Question 5 is based on the same passage of question 1.What message does the writer want to send out?A.Both men and women should speak directly.B.Talking to women is easier than talking to men.C.There are many differences between men and women.D.It's beneficial to understand gender differences in using language.正确答案：D你选对了6单选(2分)Directions: Read the following passages carefully. The passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage.Red, white, pink, purple – what is your favorite color? We are all sensitive to color. There are some colors we like a lot and some we don't like at all. Some colors comfort us, others excite us, some make us happy, and others make us sad. People are affected by color more than they realize because color is tied to all aspects of our lives.Experts in colorgenics, the study of the language of color, believe that the colors we wear say a lot about us. Do you know why you select a shirt or dress of a certain color when you look through your clothes in the morning? Colorgenics experts say that we unconsciously choose to wear certain colors in order to communicate our desires, emotions, and needs.Colorgenics experts claim that our clothes send messages to others about our mood, personality, and desires. Pink expresses the peace and contentment of the wearer. People who often wear pink are supposed to be warm and understanding. The message is that you would like to share your peace and happiness with others. Red garments, on the other hand, indicate a high level of physical energy. People who wear red like to take life at a fast pace. Brown is the color of wealth, and it shows a need for independence and material security. Wearers of green have a love of natureand enjoy peaceful moments. They often like to be left alone with their thoughts.Although colorgenics may be a recent area of study, associating colors with emotions is not new. Colors have always been used to describe not only our feelings but also our physical health and attitudes. "Red with rage" describes anger; "in the pink" means to be in good health; "feeling blue" is a sad way to feel; and "green with envy" indicates a jealous attitude.In conclusion, the study of color can help us to understand ourselves and to improve our lives. It offers an alternative way to heal the body and spirit, and it can help us understand what others are trying to communicate.Question 6 is based on the above passage.Why are people affected by color more than they realize?A.Colors make people more sensitive.B.Colors bring people different feelings.C.Colors are everywhere in people's lives.D.Colors give people excitement.正确答案：C你选对了7单选(2分)Question 7 is based on the same passage of question 6.According to the passage, ________.A.people wear different colors to show their feelings.B.people communicate better when wearing their favorite colors.C.people like to wear different colors in the morning.D.people choose different colors without knowing they do it purposely.正确答案：D你选对了8单选(2分)Question 8 is based on the same passage of question 6.Who want to share peace and happiness?A.People who wear green clothes.B.People who wear pink clothes.C.People who need security and independence.D.People who like to be left alone with their thoughts.正确答案：B你选对了9单选(2分)Question 9 is based on the same passage of question 6.What is implied in the passage?A.People started to associate colors with emotions long time ago.B.How colors show emotions is a new research topic.C.People wearing different colors usually feel happy.D.The colors people choose affect their physical health.正确答案：A你选对了10单选(2分)Question 10 is based on the same passage of question 6.How might learning about color be useful in our lives?A.It helps us to express our ideas more clearly.B.It helps us to control our emotions and desires.C.It helps us to feel happier and more excited.D.It helps us to understand ourselves and others.正确答案：D你选对了11单选(2分)A suspected man may deny a charge, but his fingerprints can ________ him even when there is nothing else to even say who he is.A.justifyB.simplifyC.notifyD.identify正确答案：D你选对了12单选(2分)Repeated failures lead to success and prove to be ________ to us as we experiment every day to find out the right way of doing things.A.beneficialB.influentialC.substantialD.potential正确答案：A你选对了13单选(2分)Due to the unpredictable changes of weather, we bought an extra supply of coal ________ of a severe winter.A.in anticipationB.in obligationC.in associationD.in cooperation正确答案：A你选对了14单选(2分)In no country ________ Britain, it has been said, can one experience four seasons in the course of a single day.A.more thanB.other thanC.rather thanD.less than正确答案：B你选对了15单选(2分)US military forces are fully prepared to __________ the military mission once the order is given by the President.A.exploreB.explodeC.executeD.exclude正确答案：C你选对了16单选(2分)Professor Chen complained that he had been unable to __________ any Ph.D. students for more than five years and it seemed that no one wanted a doctorate in humanities.A.regulateB.recruitC.rejectD.release正确答案：B你选对了17单选(2分)The report stated that __________ a result of environmental tobacco smoke, thousands of nonsmokers die of lung cancer each year and thousands more suffer from a lot of illnesses.A.toB.withC.asD.for正确答案：C你选对了18单选(2分)The goal of the university is to make higher education available to everyone who is willing and capable __________ his financial conditions.A.in terms ofB.regardless ofC.with respect toD.in accordance with正确答案：B你选对了19单选(2分)A major-party candidate has the critical advantage in the campaign for the presidential election________ it has the support from the faithful party.A.in whichB.in whatC.in thatD.from which正确答案：C你选对了20单选(2分)The company is back to the right track.

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 between the polesof creativity and basic skills.Text OrganizationWorking On Your Own1.1)The text begins with an anecdote.2)His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3)He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form of a question.2.Chinese1)Show a child how to do something, or tech by holding the hand2)Give greater priority to developing skills at an early age, believing that creativitycan be promoted over timeAmericans1)Teach children that they should rely on themselves for solutions to problems2)Put more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children, thinking skills can bepicked up laterLanguage Sense Enhancement(1)Summarizing(2)value originality andindependence(3)contrast between (4)in terms of(5)harbor(6)fearful(7)comparable(8)promote creativity(9)emerge(10)picked upLanguage Focus VocabularyI1.1)insert2)on occasion3)investigate4)In retrospect 5)initial6)phenomena7)attached8)make up for9)is awaiting10)not; in the least11)promote12)emerged2.1) a striking contrast between the standards of living in the north of the country andthe south.2)is said to be superior to synthetic fiber.3)as a financial center has evolved slowly.4)is not relevant to whether he is a good lawyer.5)by a little-known sixteen-century Italian poet have found their way into some Englishmagazines.3.1)be picked up; can’t accomplish; am exaggerating2)somewhat; the performance; have neglected; they apply to3)assist; On the other hand; are valid; a superiorII1.1)continual2)continuous 3)continual4)continuous2.1)principal2)principal3)principle 4)principles5)principalIII1.themselves2.himself/herself3.herself/by herself/on her own4.itself5.ourselves6.yourself/by yourself/on your ownComprehensive Exercises I.cloze1.(1)contrast(2)exaggerating(3)priority(4)on the other hand (5)promoting(6)pick up(7)assist(8)accomplish(9)occasion(10)neglecting(11)worthwhile(12)superior2.(1)end(2)perform(3)facing(4)competent (5)equipped(6)designed(7)approach(8)rest(9)definitely(10)qualityII.translation1.(1)It takes an enormous amount of courage to make a departure from the tradition.(2)Tom used to be very shy, but this time he was bold enough to give a performance in frontof a large audience.(3)Many educators think it desirable to foster the creative spirit in the child at an earlyage.(4)Assuming this painting really is a masterpiece, do you think it’s worthwhile to buyit?(5)If the data is statistically valid, it will throw light on the problem we areinvestigating.2.To improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening and speaking. 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 our experience 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.Unit2 ValuesPart II Reading TaskComprehensionContent QuestionPair Work1.The Salvation Army is a religious charitable organization.

They were studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools in Nanjing.2. Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying to place the key into the slot of the 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 it properly.4. Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasks in 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 theJinling Hotel.6. He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that on can solve a problem effectively by oneself.7. He means that this incident pointed to important differences in educational and artistic practices between China and the USA.8. The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guiding his hand in the 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 animals skillfully and confidently; in a second example, calligraphers 9 and 10 years old were producing 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 between the poles of creativity and basic skills. Text OrganizationWorking On Your Own1.1) The text begins with an anecdote.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form of a question.2.

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 our experience 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.Unit2 ValuesPart II Reading TaskComprehensionContent QuestionPair Work1.

Men and women professors did the same work, but when it came to promotion the administrators were rather selective. It was ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institutions of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight. So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President.

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。
所以我决定来个观念的跨越，美洲大陆那么宽——从太平洋去大西洋，不带一分钱。
要是有人给我钱，我会拒绝。
我只接受搭顺风车、提供食物和让我歇脚的帮助。
这将是在这片金钱至上的土地上的一次身无分文的旅行。
我的最终目的地是北卡罗来纳州的“恐惧角”（即开普菲尔），它象征着我沿途必须克服的所有恐惧。
8 1994年9月6日，我早早起床，背起一个50磅重的包，朝金门桥走去。
我从背包里拿出一个牌子，向过路的车辆展示我的目的地：“美利坚”。

While we shouldbe careful to avoid the difference, they do appear to exist. In China,for example, greater is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, , place more emphasis on creativity in youngchildren, leaving them to , skills later. American parents tend to avoidrushing in to their children as they try to a task,thinking it better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Suchan approach can, , be mistaken for one’s parental dutiesby those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantage, and it may well be to search fora , method that would combine the best of both worlds.The real challenge to us teachers is combining the best of both worlds into one.Creativity and basic skills need to be considered in terms of being means toan , rather than simply as ends in themselves. Some Chinese studentsmay not well in hypothetical settings, but when it comes to real life challenges and issues, they are more than in resolving mostof them, as they are with their strong skills. The U.S. system may be to aim more at producing top of the cream students, but that may dodamage to the big bulk of the of the student body. The Chineseeducation system is not perfect, but it dose produce a workforce. And I truly believe that solid basic knowledge skill focus is the singlebiggest force driving the rise of China as a country.If you visited Karl Green, you might not at first sight think he was .Most of what he owns is rather and he will readily admit to the bottom income . Yet he would that he is poor, for hefeels that his life is full of less riches. Rather than devoting himselfto the of money before all else, he the pleasures offriendship. His lack of interest in possessions does, however, sometimes make himfeel in today’s materialistic society and he still clearly feels hurtwhen he remembers the departure of a girlfriend who did not share hisviews. Yet there are many who admire him, particularly for his on helpingthe poor through collecting each Christmas.How does spending connect to happiness?One explanation lies in “conspicuous consumption’. The idea is that the richdon’t accumulate wealth in order to it. Rather they accumulate wealthin order to display it, and their happiness is by their neighbors’envy.As a result, the country finds itself in the grips of a “luxury fever”- familieswith incomes of $50,000 try to emulate the consumption of those with$70,000, who in turn try to emulate those with $140,000, and so on.It’s just common sense. It’s impossible for a piece ofpaper like money to make you happy. Instead, what makes people happy is the feelingof or power money brings.A recent survey that those from the Forbes list of the 400 richestAmericans and the Maasai of East Africa are almost satisfied.

Nearly 40% of these children tospeaking with strangers regularly. Fewer than 9% of the parents knew that theirchildren had been meeting with strangers.Another part of the study found that 30% of children between the ages of 9 and18 delete the search history from their browsers in an to protect theirprivacy from their parents. Common filtering software may be effective,since children will access what they are looking for elsewhere – at a friend’shouse, an internet café, or school. One problem lies in the fact that parents don’tknow much about using popular online software and chat programs, andTo have no clue about what is really happening online. This lack of knowledge onthe parents’part may be no from the situation before the arrival of theweb. Parents don’t know what their children are doing on the Net, in the same that they don’t know what goes on at class, parties, or clubs.With the we can escape into another world at the of abutton. For many this world is a dream come true. They find they cando away with the daily and stay inside for weeks and everything from home. Other, however, may find the virtual world a Internet is slow and everythingat a snail’s space. The computer does not your messages nor does itout. Still others, who get the virtual world, may findcommunicating face-to-face too emotional and unbearable. they feelthis so strongly that they have to from real human contact, hurryingto get back to the comfort and safety of a less demanding world.I live in a small coastal town of 398 people located halfway between San Franciscoand the Oregon border. The nearest traffic light is nine miles north of Mendocino;its closestto the south is over 90 miles away. The nearest four-lane highway is 58 miles east.Federal Express doesn’t here on Saturdays.But there is Internet here. It enables me to work at home, writingcomputer books and articles for computer magazines. It enables local students andhistorian to conduct research. It local businesses –inns, music stores,driving schools – to reach new. It enables local people to enjoy the benefits of email and the ofwebsites and chat rooms.In fact, because small towns have few people, few stores, and few libraries andschools, you could argue that the Internet more benefits to small townsthat it does to big cities. But Internet service providers are not interested in markets. What they are interested in is making money. As a result, people in manysmall towns and areas are unable to keep up with the development of technology.3.Translation (Chinese => English)1)背离传统需要极⼤的勇⽓。
