Study the model given below. Then read the next two paragraphs and show how coherence and unity is improved by the use, of transitional devices.Model: But this is only one aspect of the problem. Another, no less essential, is the wider gap between generations since the rate of social development has speeded up. The tastes and habits of young people today differ markedly from those of the young people of the thirties, let alone of the twenties. Still influenced by the tastes and habits of their own youth, the "fathers" are inclined to think these habits and tastes are absolutes and to deny their children the right to independent creativity which they demanded from their own parents. Hence the artificial conflicts, in which a dance or the width of trousers is elevated to the dignity of crucial issues. The writer uses the following transitional devices:1) Transitional words and expressionsbut another still hence2) Pronoun referencethose their these they3) Repetition of important wordstastes and habits young people1. And since we (teenagers) are so new, many people have some very wrong ideas about us. For instance, the newspapers are always carrying advice-columns telling our mothers how to handle us, their "bewildered maladjusted offspring, " and the movies portray us as half-witted bops (hoodlums-ed. ); and in the current best sellers, authors recall their own confused, unhappy youth. On the other hand, speakers tell us that these teen-years are the happiest and freest of our lives, or hand us the "leaders of tomorrow, forge on the future" line. The general opinion is that teen-agers are either car-stealing, dope-taking delinquents, or immature, weepy adolescents with nothing on our minds but boys (or girls as the case may be ). Most adults have one or two attitudes toward the handling of teens--some say that only a sound beating will keep us in line; others treat us as mentally unbalanced creatures on the brink of insanity, who must be pampered and shielded at any cost.2. As of today, I am fed up with the food served in the campus dining hall. My disenchantment started in September---the day I bit into a hamburger to find myself staring at a long strand of grey hair that trailed out of the meat, through the mayonnaise, and over the edge of the bun. After that, I was not much surprised by the little things I came across in October and November: bugs in the salad and bobby pin in the meatloaf, for example. Then in December the food was worse--and a little dirtier. For Christmas dinner, for in- stance, the cook gave me a thin slice of rolled turkey, straight out of the can, and dished up a cock-roach in my pudding. Even that was excusable (nobody is perfect), but what happened today is not" I had already eaten most of my clam chowder before I found it, at the bottom of the bowl, nestled among the diced potatoes and the chopped onions: one band-aid, slightly used.XIII. Topics for oral work:1. In your opinion, what makes or spoils a good conversation?2. Is spoken English different from written English? In what ways are they different?XIV. Write a short composition describing some of the peculiarities of spoken EnglishPub Talk and the King's English 课后练习题答案Ⅰ .1. Carlyle : Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881), English essayist and historian born at Ecclefechan,a village of the Scotch lowlands. After graduating from the University of Edinburgh, he rejected the ministry, for which he had been intended, and determined to he a writer of hooks. In 1826 he married Jane Welsh, a well-informed and ambitious woman who did much to further his career. They moved to Jane' s farm at Craigenputtoeh where they lived for 6 years (1828-1834 ). During this time he produced Sartor Resartus (1833-1834), a book in which he first developed his char- acteristic style and thought. This book is a veiled sardonic attack upon the shams and pretences of society, upon hollow rank, hollow officialism, hollow custom, out of which life and usefulness have departed. In 1837 he published The French Revolution, a poetic rendering and not a factual account of the great event in history. Besides these two masterpieces, he wrote Chartism (1840), On Heroes, hero Worship, and the Heroic in History (I841), Past and Present (1843) and others. "Carlylese", a peculiar style of his own, was a compound of biblical phrases, col loquialisms, Teutonic twists, and his own coinings, arranged in unexpected sequences. One of the most important social critics of his day, Carlyle influenced many men of the younger generation, among them were Mathew Arnold and Ruskin.2. Lamb : Charles Lamb (1775-1834), English essayist, was born in London and brought up within the precincts of the ancient law courts, his father being a servant to an advocate of the inner Temple. He went to school at Christ's Hospital, where he had for a classmate Coleridge, his life-long friend. At seventeen, he became a clerk in the India House and here he worked for 33 years until he was re-tired on a pension. His devotion to his sister Mary, upon whom rested an hereditary taint of insanity, has done al-most as much as the sweetness and gentle humor of his writings to endear his name. They collaborated on several books for children, publishing in 1867 their famous Tales from Shakespeare. His dramatic essays, Specimens of English Dramatic Poets (1808), established his reputation as a critic and did much in reviving the popularity of Eliza-be then drama. The Essays of Ella, published at intervals in London Magazine, were gathered together and republished in two series, the first in 1823, the second ten years later. They established Lamb in the title which he still holds, that of the most delightful of English essayists.Ⅱ.1.A good conversation does not really start from anywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go. A good conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument is not to convince. When people become serious and talk as if they have something very important to say, when they argue to convince or to win their point, the conversation is spoilt.2. The writer likes bar conversation very much because he has spent a lot of time in pubs and is used to this kind of conversation. Bar friends are companions, not intimates. They are friends but not intimate enough to be curious about each other's private life and thoughts.3. No. Conversation does not need a focus. But when a focal subject appears in the natural flow of conversation, the conversation becomes vivid, lively and more interesting.4. The people talked about Australia because the speaker who introduced the subject mentioned incidentally that it was an Australian who had given her such a definition of "the King's English. " When the people talked about the resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for "English as it should be spoken", the conversation moved to Norman England because at that time a language barrier existed between the Saxon peasants and the Norman conquerors.5. The Saxon peasants and their Norman conquerors used different words for the same thing. For examples see paragraph 9.6. The writer seems to be in favor of bilingual education. He is against any form of cultural barrier or the cultural humiliation of any section or group of people.7. The term "the Queen's English" was used in 1953 by Nash because at that time the reigning monarch was a queen, Elizabeth I. The term "the King's English" is the more common form because the ruling monarch is generally a king. Those who are not very particular may use the term "the King's English", even when the ruling monarch is a queen. In 1602, Dekker used the term "the King's English", although the reigning monarch was still Queen Elizabeth.8.“The King’s English” was regarded as a form 0f racial discrimination during the Norman rule in England about 1154—1399.9.The writer thinks “the King’s English” is a class representation of reality.1t is worth trying to speak “the King’s English”,but it should not be 1aid down as an edict,and made immune to change from below.The King’s English is a model a rich and instructive one- but it ought not to be an ultimatum.10.During the Norman period,the ruling class spoke Anglo— French while the peasants spoke their native Saxon language.Language bears the stamp of the class that uses it.The King’s English today refers to the language used by the upper,educated class in England.Ⅲ.1.The title of this piece is not well chosen.It misleads the readers into thinking that the writer is going to demonstrate some intrinsic or linguistic relationship between pub talk and the King’s English.Whereas the writer.in reality,is just discoursing on what makes good conversation.The King’s English is connected with “pub talk” when the writer describes the charming conversation he had with some people one evening in a pub on the topic “the King’s English” to illustrate his point that bar conversation in a pub has a charm of its own.2.1n this essay the writer alluded to many historical and literary event such as the Norman conquest,the saloons of 18th century Paris,and the words of many a man of letters.For a short expository essay like this,the allusions used are more than expected and desirable.3.Paragraph 5 is a transition paragraph by means of which the writer passes from a general discourse on good conversation to a particular instance of it.But one feels the change from “pub talk” to “the King's English” a bit too abrupt.4.The simple idiomatic expressions like "to be on the rocks,out of bed on the wrong side,etc.”may be said to go well with the copious literary and historical allusions the writer used for an informal conversational style to Suit the theme of this essay in which the writer tries to defend informal uses of language.5.The writer’s attitude towards “the King’s English” shows that he is a defender of democracy.Ⅳ.1.And conversation is an activity which is found only among human beings. (Animals and birds are not capable of conversation.)2.Conversation is not for persuading others to accept our idea or point of view.3.In fact a person who really enjoys and is skilled at conversation will not argue to win or force others to accept his point of view.4.People who meet each other for a drink in the bar of a pub are not intimate friends for they are not deeply absorbed or engrossed in each other’s lives.5.The conversation could go on without anybody knowing who was right or wrong.6.These animals are called cattle when they are alive and feeding in the fields;but when we sit down at the table to eat.we call their meat beef.7.The new ruling class by using French instead of English made it difficult for the English to accept or absorb the culture of the rulers.8.The English language received proper recognition and was used by the King once more.9.The phrase, the King’s English, has always been used disrespectfully and jokingly by the lower classes. The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.10.There still exists in the working people, as in the early Saxon peasants, a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.11.There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent. For example, the word “dog” is a symbol representing a kind of animal. We mustn’t regard the word “dog” as being the animal itself.12.Even the most educated and literate people do not use standard, formal English all the time in their conversation.V.See the translation of the text.Ⅵ·1. on the rocks:metaphor,comparing a marriage to a ship wrecked on the rocks2.get out of bed on the wrong side: be in a bad temper for the day (The meaning is perhaps derived from the expression “You got out of bed the wrong way”. It was an ancient superstition that it was unlucky to set the left foot on the ground first on getting out of bed.) 3.on wings:metaphor,comparing conversation to a bird flying and soaring.It means the conversation soon became spirited and exciting.4.turn up one’s nose at:scorn;show scorn for5.into the shoes:metaphor(or more appropriately an idiomatic expression),think as if one were wearing the shoes of the Saxon peasant,i.e.as if one were a Saxon peasant6 come into one’s own:receive what properly belongs to one,especially acclaim or recognition657.sit up at:(colloquial)become suddenly alert and take notice ofⅦ.1.ignorant指缺乏知识,可以是就整体而言(如an ignorant man),也可以是就某一具体方面或问题而言(如ignorant of the reason of their quarrel对他们争吵的起因毫无所知);illiterate意为缺乏文化修养,尤指读写能力的缺乏;uneducated指没有受到正规的、系统的学校教育;unlearned意为学问不富(未必无知),既可指一无所长,又可指某一方面所知有限,如unlearned in science,意为对科学懂得有限,但对其他学科,如文学、哲学等,倒可能是很精通的。

be employed只有当我们的军队强大无比时,我们才有把握永不使用武力7.Let us never negotiate out of fear,but let us never fear to negotiate我们永远不会由于恐惧而去谈判,但我们永不畏惧谈判8.And if a beached of cooperation may push back the jungles of

excessive fecundity.-The poverty of the poor was caused by their having too many children.3.~~the rich were not responsible for ether its creation or its amelioration.-the rich were not to blame for the existence of poverty so they shouldn’t be asked to undertake the task of solving the problem.4.It’s merely the working out of a law of nature and a law of god-It’s only the result or effect of the law of the survival of the fittest applied to nature or to human society.5.It declined in popularity,and references to it acquired a condemnatory tone-people began to reject Social Darwinism cuz it seemed to glorify brutal force and oppose treasured values of sympathy,love and friendship.therefore,when it was mentioned,it was usually the target of criticism.6.~~the search for a way of getting the poor off our conscience was not at an end,it was only suspended.-The desire to find a way to justify the concern for the poor hadn’t been abandoned,it had only been put off7.~~only rarely given to overpaying for monkey wrenches,flashlights,coffee makers,and toilet seats-Government officials,on the whole,are good,it’s very rare that some high prices for office equipment to get kickbacks8.This is

can be useful in the search for truth.but more often than not it’s accepted cuz it’s convenient and self-serving10.George Gilder~~who tells to much applause that the poor must have the cruel spur of their own suffering to ensure effort-GG advances the view that only when the poor suffer from great misery will they be stimulated to make great effort to change the situation, in other words,

investigate Waston and bring him to court,there seemed to be little concrete evidence to prove that he was responsible for certain illegal activities 4.The stranglehold Waston had over this section of Florid was not dissimilar to the unscrupulous activities of certain lawmen,other legal crooks,and even governors that our state was to suffer through its history-The control Waston had over this part of Florida was much similar to the dishonest or illegal activities of the law--enforcing officials and government which florida witnessed in the twentieth century5.There was the little shack,not the

matter what weather was likeUnit31.~~even droughts,floods,and heat waves may become unwitting acts of manWhat people do may unintentionally cause droughts,floods,and heat waves2.But this image,now repeatedly thrust before us in photographs,posters,and advertisements is misleadingThe Earth we see in photos,posters and ads,which appears so beautiful,is not the true reflection of the world we live in ;such image lulls us into complaceny3.The technosphere has become sufficiently large and intense to alter the natural processes that govern the ecosphereHuman activities have taken place over such large areas and with such intensity that they have already caused disastrous effect on ecology4.~~Which could establish itself only because it fitted properly into the preexisting systemThe fish could play its role because it became a necessary link with the processes preceding it and the processes following it in the ecological system5.Defined so narrowly,it’s no surprise that cars have properties

in proportion to the rate of fertilizer application~The farm applied more and more fertilizer,and the production did rise but didn’t at the same rate of fertilizer 7.~~their waste is flushed into the sewer system,altered in composition but not in amount at a treatment plant People eat the plants and animals,and their waste is flushed into the sewer system.After being processed,the waste is still

rejection of dogmatic preconception about the nature of the social and economic orderThere are such prejudices in an arrogant manner about the characteristic of the social order and economic order and they take it for granted,the country just rejected such prejudice2.Nor can one suggest that American have been consistently immune to the ideological temptation-No one can say that Americans have never been tempted by the approach of understanding,preserving or transforming the world according to rigid dogmas3.~~and any intellect so shaped was bound to have certain vulnerability to secular ideology ever after-A mind influenced by Calvinst theology would surely find it somewhat difficult to resist other ideological temptations to ideological thinking4.Pragmatism is no more wholly devoid of abstraction than ideology is wholly devoid of experience-Pragmatism is not completely free from abstract ideas just as ideology is it somewhat difficult to resist other ideological temptations to ideological thinking5.As an ideologist,however,Jefferson is today remote—a figure not of present concern but of historical curiosity-As a man following a fixed set of beliefs,Jefferson is only an interesting historical figure.His beliefs are out of date and are irrelevant to present-day reality6.~~(and often)whose central dogma is confided to the custody of an infallible priesthood-Their central beliefs are imprisoned by the whole body of priests who are always effective7.~~where free men may find partial truths,but where no mortal man will ever get an absolute grip on Absolute Truth~-In this universe a person whose mind is constrained may be able to discover relation truths but no man on earth can claim that he has already grasped the one and only Truth.8.But ideology is a drug,no matter how much it’s exposed by experience,the craving for it still persist Ideology has the characteristic of a narcotic.In spite of the fact that it has been proved wrong many times by

allow the slow destruction of those human rights3.To those people in the huts and villiaged of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery,we pledge our best efforts to help themselves-To the people of the underdeveloped countries living in poverty in rural areas,we are committed to helping them to rid themselves of mass poverty by their own efforts4.But this peaceful revolution of hope can’t become the prey of hostile powers-But we shouldn’t let any Communist power take advantage of this alliance for progress to expand its influence5.And let every other power know that this hemisphere intends to remain the master of its own house-We want to make clear to the Communist powers that Americas are Americas of the Americans.Do not attempt to penetrate into this area6~~before the dark powers of destruction unleashed by science engulf all humanity in planned or accidental self-destruction~before the world is destroyed by a nuclear war launched in a preemptive attack or caused by accident7~~yet both racing to alter the uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of mankind’s final war-Yet both sides attempt to get an edge in the nuclear arms race so as to break the mutual deterrence which has so far prevented the outbreak of a nuclear war8~~civility is not a sign of weakness,and sincerity is always subject to proof-To be ready to negot iate and establish friendly relations doesn’t mean that we are weak or afraid.Declarations of sincere intention have to be tested by actions9.Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrorsLet the two sides use the fruits of science for the benefit of humanity rather than using high-tech weapons to kill and destroy10~~each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty-There have been occasions for each generation of Americans to be called upon to fight and die for their countryUnit101.Saint Goergy may caper in banners and in the speeches of politicians,but it’s Jonhn Bull who delivers the goods-As Saint Goergy is a hero,the patron of arms,symbolizing chivalry,his image often appears on banners,and his name is often mention in the speeches of politicians. Saint Goergy is used as a symbolic figure of political purpose. But Jonhn Bull is a tradesman and he delivers the goods we need in our daily life while making money at the same time2.With its boarding-houses,its compulsory games,its system of prefects and fagging,its insistence on good form and on esprit de corps.it produces a type whose weight is out of all proportion to its numbers-The English public schools have unique features.first all boys living in boarding houses,second,sports and games are organized and compulsory as part of the school curricular,third, older students have special duties to help control younger students while the latter must do jobs for the former,lastly, great emphasis is placed ongood form and team spirit.These features enable the public school student to have disproportionately great influence3.Now the word “bankrupt”,I spoke as a member of a prudent middle-class nation,always anxious to meet my liabilities-Pay attention to my use of the word “bankrupt”,a word related to business.
