Unit11. Most countries take a census every ten years or so in order to count the people and to know where they are living.2. A country with a growing population is a country that is becoming more populous.3. A person’s race is partly determined by skin color and type of hair as well as other physical characteristics.4. The majority of the U.S. population is of European origin.5. The geographical distribution of a country’s population gives information about where the people are living.6. The total population of the United States is made up of many different kinds of people.7. In other words, the population comprises people of different races and ages.8. The average age of the U.S. population, which is a relatively large one, has been getting progressively higher recently.9. Metropolitan areas are more densely populated than rural areas. That is, they have more people per square mile.10. The use of antibiotics has greatly decreased the death rate throughout much of the world.11. A country whose birth rate is higher than its death rate will have an increasing population.12. On the average, women have a higher life expectancy than men do.Unit21.Throughout history, people have moved, or immigrated, to new countries to live.2.Natural disasters can take many forms：those that are characterized by a shortageof rain or food are called droughts and famines respectively.3.Sometimes people immigrate to a new country to escape political or religiouspersecution.4.Rather than immigrants, the early settlers from Great Britain consideredthemselves colonists; they had left home to settle new land for the mother country.5.The So-called Great Immigration, which can be divided into three stages, or timeperiods, began about l830 and lasted till about 1930.6.The Industrial Revolution, which began in the eighteenth century, causedwidespread unemployment as machines replaced workers.7.The scarcity of farmland in Europe caused many people to immigrate to the UnitedStates, where farmland was more abundant.nd in the United States was plentiful and available when the country wasexpanding westward. In fact, the U.S. government offered free public land to citizens in 1862.9.The failure of the Irish potato crop in the middle of the nineteenth centurycaused widespread starvation.10.The Great Depression of the 1930s and World War II contributed to the noticeabledecrease in immigration after 1930.11.The first law that limited the number of immigrants coming from a certain partof the world was the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.12.It is important to note that in 1965 strict quotas based on nationality wereeliminated.13.At the end of the 1940s immigration began to increase again and has, in general,risen steadily since then.14.Will the trend continue for non-Europeans to immigrate to the UnitedStates?15.The U.S. immigration laws of today in general require that new immigrants havethe skills necessary to succeed in the United States because industry no longer requires large numbers of unskilled workers.Unit 31. As we look at the changes over the last century, we’ll use a lot of statistics to describe these changes.2. While the number of people in these goods producing industries went down, the number of people in the service industries went up.3. Over the years, child labor laws became much stricter and by 1999, it was illegal for anyone under sixteen to work full-time in any of the fifty States.4. In 1900 the average per capita income was $4, 200.5. One of the important benefits most workers received later in the century was health insurance.6. Whereas wages and salaries rose over the century, the average workweek dropped.7. People often tend to romanticize the past and talk about “the good old days.”8. According to a 2003 study released by the United Nations International Labor Organization, U. S. workers are the most productive in the world.9. Longer working hours in the United States is a rising trend, while the trend in other industrialized countries is the opposite.10. Workers in some European countries actually outproduce American workers per hour of work.11. This higher rate of productivity might be because European workers are less stressed than U. S. workers.12. Between 1949 and 1974, increases in productivity were matched by increases in wages.13. After 1974, productivity increased in manufacturing and services, but real wages stagnated.14. The money goes for salaries to CEOs, to the stock market, and to corporate profits.15. Some people say that labor unions have lost power since the beginning of the 1980s, and that the government has passed laws that favor the rich and weaken the rights of the workers.Unit41. A hundred years ago, one heard the same comments about the family that one hears today—in short, that the American family is disintegrating.2. Proof of this disintegration included evidence that women were not completely content with their domestic role.3. To the contrary, the very nature of the family has changed drastically inthe last fifty years.4. To be sure, the family is a very sensitive barometer for what is happening inthe society.5. Demographically, the predominant configuration of the family was the traditional one.6. The country idealized the family in these years：there Was a commitment tothe family and a reverence for it.7. Three characteristics stand out in this period：conformity to social norms, greater male domination of the family, and clear-cut gender roles.8. These decades were characterized by a lack of conformity to social norms and included the sexual revolution and the women’s liberation movement.9. Another important movement was the drive for self-expression and self fulfillment.10. The new configuration of the family had to include families of cohabiting couples, with or without children.11. The number of single-parent households tripled, and the number of unmarried couples quadrupled.12. They see a continuing decline in divorce rates since the 1980s but also a declinein birth rates after an initial increase in the 1980s. 13. There is an attempt to balance work with family obligations, and concern seems to be shifting from individualism to the new familism. 14. Places of work may offer more flexible working hours and on-site day care.15. For its part, the government could mandate parental leave and family allowances.Unit51. The U.S. government cannot ask for information on religious affiliation on a mandatory basis.2. One survey done in 2002 shows that 76 percent of the total population identified themselves as Christian, with 52 percent identifying themselves as Protestant and24 percent as Catholic.3. The number of Americans belonging to churches or other religious organizations is surprisingly high compared to other modernized nations.4. This is not to suggest that religious values are not important in these other nations.5. Freedom of worship is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution.6. The First Amendment also establishes the separation of church and state.7. The importance of religion in American history should not be underestimated.8. I’d like to talk about the increasing role religion has played in fairly recent history.9. Religion had seemed to be in decline, but there was a religious revival in the 1970s that surprised many people.10. The religious revival was conservative in nature and, at first, largely confinedto issues in the private sphere of life.11. These issues, however, were very controversial in nature and became quite politicized in a short time.2. Perhaps the“rise of the religious right’’is a temporary phenomenon in American life.13.Some people predict that American society will become increasingly secular andless religious in the future；others predict a more authoritarian political atmosphere based on conservative religious belief.Unit71. I understand why a foreigner might react skeptically to U. S. culture, especiallyif the person comes from a more ethnically and racially homogeneous society.2. It seems naive or even perverse to deny the existence of a culture that hassuch great impact on other cultures, for better or worse. 3. A melting pot, literally a pot in which metals like aluminum and copper are melted in order to blend them, is the traditional metaphor for the way the different groups of immigrants came together in the United States.4. Some people feel that the monoculturalist view of many nationalities blending together into an alloy of all the parts in it is a myth.5. Opponents point out that many groups have at times been excluded from participating in U.S.society through segregation and discrimination.6. U. S. society probably did not assimilate new cultural input until the new immigrants were viewed with less prejudice.7. The metaphor the multiculturalists use is the patchwork quilt, a mosaic of separate, autonomous subcultures.8. Intermarriage and the adoption of children of another race make a differencein how people in a family look at themselves.9. The point here is that the ethnically and racially pure individuals impliedby the multiculturalist view are more the exception than the rule.10. We inherit some of our culture from our families and absorb some of our culture unconsciously.11. If assimilation does not take place in the first generation, it most certainly does by the second or third.12. Monoculturalists fear a fragmentation, or even destmction, of U. S. culture, whereas proponents of the pluralistic view disagree.13. It would be wrong to assume that the dominant culture we’ve been speaking about reflects the culture of only one group.14. Opponents of the pluralistic view of culture cite Latinos, especially Mexican immigrants, the single largest immigrant group since the 1990s.。

among private companies and billionaire entrepreneurs to carry paying passengers into space and tokick-start a new industry, astro tourism.to astronauts, pilots, and aeronautical engineers –basically to anyone who knows anything about aircraft design –burt rutan is a legend, an aeronautical engineer whose latest aircraft is the worlds first private spaceship. as he told when he first met him a little over a year ago, if his idea flies, someday space travel may be cheap enough and safe enough for ordinarypeople to go where only astronauts have gone before. the white knight is a rather unusual looking aircraft, built just forthe purpose of carrying a rocket plane called spaceshipone,the first spacecraft built by private enterprise.white knight andspaceshipone are the latest creations of burt rutan.theyre part of his dream to develop a commercial travel business in space. there will be a new industry. and we are just now in a beginning. i will predict that in 12 or 15 years,there will be tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds ofthousands of people that fly, and see that black sky, says rutan.on june 21, 2004, white knight took off from an airstrip inmojave, calif., carrying rutans spaceship. it took 63 minutes to reach the launch altitude of 47,000 feet. once there, the white knight crew prepared to release the spaceship one. the fierce acceleration slammed mike melvill, the pilot, back in his seat.he put spaceshipone into a near vertical trajectory, until, as planned, the fuel ran out.still climbing like a spent bullet, melvillhoped to gain as much altitude as possible to reach spacebefore the ship began falling back to earth. by the time the spaceship one reached the end of its climb, it was 22 miles off course. but it had, just barely, reached an altitude of just over 62 miles --the internationally recognized boundary of space.it was the news rutan had been waiting for. falling back to earth from an altitude of 62 miles, spaceshipones tilting wing,a revolutionary innovation called the feather, caused the rocket plane to position itself for a relatively benign re-entry and turned the spaceship into a glider.spaceshipone glided to a flawless landing before a crowd of thousands.after that june flight, i felt like i was floating around and just once in a while touching the ground, remembers rutan. we had an operable space plane.rutans operable space plane was built by acompany with only 130 employees at a cost of just $25 million. he believes his success has ended the governments monopoly on space travel, and opened it up to the ordinary citizen.i concluded that for affordable travel to happen, the little guyhad to do it because he had the incentive for a business, says rutan. does rutan view this as a business venture or a technological challenge?its a technological challenge first. and its a dream i had when i was 12, he says. rutan started building model airplanes when he was seven years old, in dyenuba, calif., where he grew up.i was fascinated by putting balsa wood together and see how it would fly, he remembers. and when i started having the capability to do contests and actually win a trophy by making a better model, then i was hooked.hes been hooked ever since. he designed his first airplane in 1968 and flew it four years later.since then his airplanes have become known for their stunning looks, innovative design and technological sophistication.rutan began designing a spaceship nearly a decade ago, after setting up set up his own aeronautical research and design firm. by the year 2000, he had turned his designs into models and was testing them outside his office.when i got to the point that i knew that i could make a safe spaceship that would fly amanned space mission -- when i say, i, not the government,our little team -- i told paul allen, i think we can do this.and he immediately said, go with it. paul allen co-founded microsoft and is one of the richest men in the world. his decision to pump $25 million into rutans company, scaled composites, was the vote of confidence that his engineers needed to proceed. that was a heck of a challenge to put in front of some people like us, where were told, well,【篇三：英语高级视听说下册 unit15】【篇三：英语高级视听说n new york on tuesday, nov. 1, to begin an eight-day visit, it will be his first official american tour in more than a decade. everyone knows what has happened in the interim. his troubled marriage to the late princess diana, his remarriage to camilla parker bowles, and the youthfulindiscretions of his two sons have been turned to a reality-based soap opera by the tabloid media. but most americans know very little about who the prince of wales is and what he does as heir to the british throne.members of the royal family hardly ever grant interviews, the queen has never given one, and you rarely see them talk. but last month, as his trip to the united states was being planned, prince charles granted 60 minutes correspondent steve kroftan audience, allowing us to follow him around and chat, not about his family, but about being prince of wales, a job and a life like no other.most of us in our lives have to fill out applications listing our profession and occupation. you dont have to do that, kroft said. no. not always, but sometimes, prince charles replied.if you did, what would you put down? kroft asked.i would list it as worrying about this country and its inhabitants. thats my particular duty. and i find myself borninto this particular position. im determined to make the most of it. and to do whatever i can to help. and i hope i leave things behind a little bit better than i found them, the prince said. its hard to say, but i think it is a profession, actually; doing what im doing. because if you tried it for a bit, you might find out how difficult it is, he added, laughing.he is somewhere between a brand and a public institution, a future head of state in waiting —and waiting. he is a symbol of continuity with no real power but tremendous influence that is tied to his position and wealth.the money comes from a 14th century real estate empire called the duchy of cornwall, which was established to provide an income for the heir to the british throne.today it includes 135,000 acres of farmland, forests, waterfront property, london real estate, and even a cricket stadium. it produces $25 million a year in rents and other income that supports the prince, his wife and children and a staff of 130. there are perks such as travel on the royal train. and $7 million from the government to help with official expenses.on a recent trip to the yorkshire countryside to mark the 850th anniversary of the village of richmond, the whole town turned out to greet charles and camilla, his new wife, longtime friend and former mistress, now the duchess of cornwall. they were recently voted the most popular couple in britain, nosing out the queen and prince philip and they seemed comfortable with each other and the crowds.there was clearly a bond between you and the people there. explain that to me, asked kroft.no idea, the prince replied with laugh.you have no idea? kroft asked.no, but i always enjoyed seeing all sorts of people all around the country. i do this over and over again, have done for 30-something years, the prince said.he could pass the time playing polo or do nothing at all if he wanted, a path chosen by most of his predecessors, many of whom were lay-abouts and playboys. but charles chose to invent a job where none existed. he made 29 major speecheslast year, visited 14 countries, and runs the largest group of non-profit organizations in the country called princes charities. he raises more than $200 million a year for those 16organizations, 14 of which he founded.the largest charity is the princes trust which, over 29 years, has helped to provide job training for more than a half a million young people.do you think if you werent doing this stuff, that it would getdone? kroft asked.if i wasnt doing it? no, the prince replied.asked if he felt as if he was making a difference, princecharles said, i dont know. i try. i only hope that when im dead and gone, they might appreciate it a little bit more. do youknow what i mean? sometimes that happens.as he approaches his 57th birthday, he sometimes feels misunderstood and undervalued. he was educated at cambridge, can fly jet planes and helicopters, is extremely knowledgeable about the arts, and has tried to carve out for himself a number of different careers— environmentalist, urban planner, real estate developer, and social critic — deeply committed to a vision of what great britain was and should be. his vision is laid out in bricks and mortar in poundbury, avillage of 2,500 people, which he created on his land near dorchester in the south ofengland. all his ideas on architectural design, class structure, aesthetics and ecology are here. and what he sees as the future looks very much like the past: an 18th century villageadapted for the 21st. prince charles gave kroft a tour of the village. and thats aconvenience store, which im very proud of, which everybody said wouldnt work. thats the pub, which again nobody wanted to touch. but now of course, the values are going up, and upand up.kroft remarked that the buildings looked as if they were builtto last, lacking flimsy materials.well, thats what ive been trying to encourage people to think about. … to break the conventional mold in the way weve been building and designing for the last, well, during the lastcentury really, has all been part of a throw-away society, princecharles said.everything in the village is constructed of native or recycled materials, sustainable development, he calls it, that conservesthe earths resources.single-family homes are mixed with small apartments so there are people of all income levels here living side by side in a community with shops and light industry. the narrow twisty roads discourage automobile traffic, and cars are parked out ofsight in landscaped lots.the whole of the 20th century has always put the car at the center, the prince explained. so by putting the pedestrian first, you create these livable places, i think, with more attraction,and interest and character. livability.he believes that the modern world with its cars and computers is slowly eroding our humanity, that we are losingtouch with the world around us.the british tabloids have made an industry out of his travails and love to portray him as an out-of-touch eccentric trying to stop progress, an edwardian hippie with no real-life experience, whos never had to draw his own bath or take out the garbage. hes been constantly ridiculed for what have been called his undergraduate ramblings, including his innocent admissionthat he talks to his plants.are you familiar with any of the plants here? talking to any ofthem? kroft asked.yeah, i know some of them. no, no, no, the prince said, laughing. no, i do all the time. not here. youve gotten more mileage out of that, i think, than almostanything thats … kroftsaid.j ust just shows you cant make a joke. … without them taking it seriously. so, its the same old story, the prince replied. his image is carefully managed by a communications staff ofnine that also handles his umbrella. they made it clear the prince would not answer questions about his wives, past andpresent, his sons or the queen. he mistrusts the media for past abuses, and worries that no one takes him seriously.what is the most difficult part of your job? i mean except fortalking with people like me? kroft asked.yes, exactly, the prince said, laughing. oh, dear. i think, that the most important thing is to be relevant. i mean, it isnt easy,as you can imagine. because if you say anything, people willsay, its all right for you to say that. its very easy to just dismiss anything i say. i mean, its difficult. but what ive tried to do is toput my money where my mouth is as much as i can, byactually creating like here, models on the ground. i mean, if people dont like it, ill go away and do it.you are in many ways a public advocate for the traditional. what are the great parts of great britain that are worth preserving, besides the monarchy? kroft asked.well, theres an awful lot of things that are worth preserving,the prince said with a laugh. the trouble, i think, in todaysworld is we abandon so many things unnecessarily, so often in the name of efficiency. if you make everything over-efficient,you suck out, it seems to me, every last drop of what, up to now, has been known as culture. we are not the technology. it should be our —you know, our slave, the technology. but its rapidly becoming our master in many areas, i think.prince charles says he is not trying to stop progress. im just trying to say that we ought to redefine the way in which progress is seen. is it progress to rush headlong into upsetting the whole balance of nature, which is what, i think, were beginning to do?you know, if you look at the latest figures on climate change and global warming, theyre terrifying, terrifying.as a member of the royal family, he is expected to avoid politically contentious issues. yet he has openly opposed a number of government policies, including the development of genetically-modified crops. hes raised questions about stemcell research and is a strong advocate of alternative medicine.he has expressed those views in speeches, letters andmeetings with government officials, some of whom considerhim to be a royal nuisance.how do you deal with that? how do you walk that line? kroft asked.well, years of practice, perhaps, the prince said.does it get you in a spot of trouble from time to time fromcertain people? kroft asked.oh, inevitably. but it seems to be part and parcel of the thing. imean, if i wasnt, i think, doing these things, id be accused bypeople like you, doing nothing with my life, the prince replied, laughing.asked if anybody ever asks him to tone it down a bit, the prince said, oh yes, of course. but i think the proof is in the pudding. and i think, you know, all the things they try to tell me to tone down over the years, if you look now, though, youll find theyre fairly mainstream.twenty years ago when he announced that he was going to begin farming organically on his estate at highgrove, no one knew what he was talking about and assumed it was another crackpot idea.today its big business in great britain, and prince charles has a line of high-end organic products produced on his estate called duchy originals that includes everything from biscuitsand jams to mineral water, sausage and turkeys.prince charles says the business has been quite successful. and that has grown and now turns over ?40 million ($71 million) a year. and im able to give away over a million pounds each year to my charitable ventures.when he arrives in new york on nov. 1 as great britains most popular ambassador, he will be selling a political, commercial and diplomatic agenda prepared by the foreign office.he will also be introducing the american public to his new wife, who will be making her first official overseas trip and donned a diamond tiara for the first time last week. she is not giving interviews right now, and may never.she is said to be interested in supporting, not overshadowing, her husband, and has no interest in establishing her ownpublic identity.why has it been 20 years since his last official visit to the united states?you dont want to see me all the time. you get bored, the prince said, laughing.is there anything youre looking forward to doing there, anything youre looking。

高级英语视听说(第二版)---教师用书-及-课后答案

《高级英语视听说（第二版）》教师用书第二版说明《高级英语视听说》为专业英语课程教材，供高等院校英语专业高年级本科生使用；同时也为高等院校非英语专业高年级本科生使用。

近些年，大学英语及专门用途英语教学改革成果显著，非英语专业学生的英语水平提高很大，有些甚至好于英语专业的学生。

教师和学生都感到特别需要更高要求、更深程度内容的英语教材满足这部分学生的智力和情感需求。

这套教材既是很好的选择。

本教材还可以供研究生英语课程使用，供有同等英语水平的自学者和工作者使用。

本套教材于2008年荣获北京市精品教材奖。

目前已经重印十余次，受到教师和学生的广泛欢迎。

第二版教材去掉五部旧片，换上五部新片，其中三部电影，一部纪录片，以跟进时代。

它们分别是《黑天鹅》、《帮助》、《朗读者》和《精神病人》。

这些片子已在北外的课堂使用过，深受学生们喜爱。

单元安排根据学生的兴趣、影片的新旧、影片的难易重新做了调整，现在的安排给人一种全新的感受。

教师也可以按照自己的考虑、学生的水平重新安排一学期的课程顺序。

第二版教材建议每周学习一部片子，所用学时两小时。

网络的发展以及各学校音视频的建设使学生随时可以看到新片，这样使一周完成学生课前的准备及课上的讨论成为了可能。

我们衷心希望第二版能够受到更多教师和学生的喜爱。

在内容带给我们更多挑战的同时，也希望带给我们更多思考的快乐。

主编：王镇平2013年4月23日编写理念21世纪是一个以经济全球化和信息化为显著特征的时代，我们的人才培养目标要适应这个时代，我们的教材则要适应这个新的培养目标。

英语专业培养的人才应该是具有扎实的英语语言基础和广博的英语文化知识，并能在不同的工作和研究领域熟练运用英语的复合型人才，要同时兼具组织能力、实践能力和创新能力。

这套教材就是在这样的需求中应运而生的。

根据2000年《高等院校英语专业英语教学大纲》（以下简称《大纲》）的要求，21世纪外语专业教材应具有以下几个特征：教材内容和语言能够反映快速变化的时代；教材能处理好专业知识、语言训练和相关学科知识之间的关系；教材不仅仅着眼于知识的传授，还有助于学生的鉴赏批判能力、思维能力和创新能力的培养；教学内容有较强的实用性和针对性；注意充分利用计算机、多媒体、网络等现代化的技术手段。
