They have a white coat. They can swim. They eat seals and fish.Task 2【答案】A.1) The cheetah.2) 170 km/h.3) More than 100 km/h.4) Because most animals run on four legs.5) Because we have machines.B.1) F, 2) F, 3) T【原文】The fastest animal on land is the cheetah. It can run at a speed of about 100 kilometres anhour. The fastest bird in the world can fly at 170 km/h, and the fastest fish can swim at more than 100 km/h.Human beings are not very fast. The fastest man in the world can only run at about 40 km/h. Many animals can run faster than this. But most animals run on four legs. Four legs are better than two, aren’t they? Why do we only have two legs?Scientists say that we are more intelligent than other animals because we stand on two legs, so we can use our hands for other things. We can pick things up with them. We can use tools. Human beings have used tools for millions of years. That is why our brains have developed. That is why we have become the most intelligent animals in the world.In the past few years, we have made all kinds of machines. We have made cars, ships, aeroplanes and spacecraft. In these machines we can travel faster than any animal—by land, by sea, or by air. We can even go to the moon. No other animal has ever done that!Task 3【答案】A.1) Climate, lack of food and aliens from outer space might be responsible for their extinction.2) No.B.B: might have gotten, killed them offA: may have run out of foodB: could have been destroyed by aliens【原文】A: You know, we’re studying dinosaurs in science class.It’s really interesting.B: Oh, yeah? Hey, have you learned why the dinosaurs disappeared?A: Well, no one knows for sure.B: I thought it had something to do with the climate. The temperature might have gotten cooler and killed them off.A: Yeah, that’s one theory. Another idea is that they may have run out of food.B: Uh-huh. And you know, there’s even a theory that they could have been destroyed by aliens from outer space.A: That sounds crazy to me!Task 4【答案】1) The mayfly. A few hours.2) They just do two things: finding a mate and producing young.3) We could judge by its growth rings.4) It was kept for 152 years.【原文】For the shortest life, the first prize must go to the mayfly, which typically lives only a matter of a few hours after it emerges from its shell. Few mayflies live to see the sun rise again. These creatures devote their whole lives to a single desperate mission: finding a mate and producing young. They don’t even have functional mouths and stomachs. They simply have no time to eat. In fact they have no time for anything else.The record-holder for the longest life may be the Arctic clam, one of which lived quietlyunderwater for 220 years. However it did not have any birth certificate to prove this. One could only judge by its growth rings.If you insist on better documentation, the oldest animal ever was probably a tortoise that died in 1918. It had been captured already full-grown in 1766, nine years before the American Revolution began and it died 152 years later as World War I came to a close.Task 5【答案】A.People have different opinions on using animals for research.B.1) fora. was tried first on animals.b. is dependent onc. using unwanted animals.2) againsta. sufferb. unnecessaryc. the same rights3)a. cell cultureb. computer modeling.【原文】Every year about 17 million animals are used in Laboratory experiments. But in many countries today, a difficult question is being asked: Do we have the right to use animals in this way?People who are for using animals in research argue that the use of animals in medical research has many practical benefits. Animal research has enabled researchers to develop treatments for many diseases, such as heart disease and depression. It would not have been possible to develop vaccines for diseases like smallpox and polio without animal research. Every drug anyone takes today was tried first on animals.Future medical research is dependent on the use of animals. Which is more important: the life of a rat or that of a three-year-old child?Medical research is also an excellent way of using unwanted animals. Last year, over 12 million animals had to be killed in animal shelters because no one wanted them as pets.However those who are against it point out that the fact that humans benefit cannot be used to justify using animals in research any more than it can be used to justify experimenting on other humans. Animals suffer a lot during these experiments. They are forced to live in small cages, and they may be unable to move.Much of the research that is carried out is unnecessary anyway.Animals have the same rights as humans do— to be able to move freely and not to have pain or fear forced on them. Researchers must find other ways of doing their research, using cell culture and computer modeling. There should be no animals in research laboratories at all.Task 6【答案】1) No.2) Because zoo officials want him to produce cubs with another female tiger, so they don’t want him to become too interested in this family.B.1) four months2) 13 kilograms3) horse meat, their mother’s milk.4) the National Zoo’s WebsiteC.1) c, 2) c, 3) b【原文】Visitors to the National Zoo in Washington D. C. can see three new young tigers. The rare babies met the public for the first time late last month. Ch ip O’Neal tells us about them.The mother tiger sat nearby on the grass as her babies rolled, chased and bit each other playfully. Then Korenchy also jumped into the games. Her cubs were born at the zoo four months ago. They are called Mike, Eric and Chrisy. The new young tigers at the National Zoo each weigh about 13 kilograms. Their fur is dark orange with black stripes. They eat horse meat and drink milk from Korenchy.Korenchy and her babies are Sumatran tigers. Sumatran tigers came from the Indonesian island of Sumatra. They are now in danger of disappearing from the earth. Fewer than 500 of these tigers remain in the world. That includes about 60 living in zoos in North America.Korenchy came to the National Zoo from the Jakarta Zoo in Indonesia. The girl was part of the Sumatran Tiger Species Survival Program. Korenchy has given birth to live cubs three tines. The father of her new cubs is Rokan, a Sumatran tiger who arrived two years ago from another zoo. Korenchy and Rokan had their babies the natural way instead of the scientific method often used to produce young animals in zoos.A wire fence separates Rokan from his babies. Zoo workers who care for Rokan say he reaches through the fence to wash the cubs with his tongue. They say this means he recognizes Mike, Eric and Chrisy as his cubs. However, zoo officials are hoping that Rokan will produce more cubs with another female Sumatran tiger at the zoo, so they do not want him to become too interested in this family.The National Zoo hopes to keep the Sumatran tiger cubs for at least 18 months before sending them to other zoos. That is about the age when most tiger cubs in the wild leave their mothers. The National Zoo has placed cameras in the Sumatran tigers’ living area, so people with computers can see them. To do this, use your computer to find the National Zoo’s Website at www. /natzoo.Task 7【答案】A.1) Cats have been more popular, because there are more pet cats in American homes.2) About 8,000 years3) They probably arrived in the United States from Europe.4) No.1)a) food especially prepared for catsb) other equipmentc) with images of catsd) in special burial grounds2)a) pleasureb) carec) being aloned) independentC.1) F, 2) F, 3) T, 4) F, 5) F【原文】An old expression says, “Man’s best friend is his dog.” Today, however, it seems that cats have replaced dogs as the most popular pets in American homes.Americans have more than 62 million pet dogs. But even more cats— more than 64 million — live in American homes.These pet cats may have long hair or short hair. They are different colors and sizes. Some are costly animals that take part in competitions. Many more are common American mixtures of several kinds of cats.Most house cats live a good life. They are not expected to work for their food. Instead, they rule their homes like furry kings and queens. They wait for their owners to serve them.Americans are increasingly serious about their cats. These concerns have made the care of cats into big business.Each year, cat owners buy tons of food especially prepared for cats. They buy toys and other equipment. They buy jewelry and clothes for themselves with images of cats on them. Some owners even bury their dead pets in special burial grounds.Humans have loved and respected cats for centuries. Scientists have evidence that cats and people lived together as long as 8000 years ago. The small house cat was once a highly honored animal. In ancient Egypt, for example, people who killed a cat could be punished by death.Early in American history cats were not treated as gods, however. They probably arrived in the United States with settlers and traders from Europe. These cats worked. They killed rats and mice.Sometimes, Americans mistreated their cats. During the early days of the nation, religious extremists believed that some cats were working for the devil. Black cats were especially suspected of being evil.Later, American families who had enough food began taking cats into their homes. People cared for the cats because the animals gave them pleasure. The cats thanked people for feeding them by making a purring sound. This pleasant noise usually means a cat is happy.Animal experts offer several reasons why cats have become so popular as house pets. They say cats need less care than dogs. And cats do not seem to suffer as much as dogs from being alone if the owners are away.Still, millions of other people do not like cats at all. They say dogs are better and more lovingpets. They say cats do not have much feeling. They believe cats stay with people only to be fed. Cat owners defend their pets against such criticism. They say cats are just much more independent than dogs.A student of animal medicine explains the situation this way: dogs follow you around — they want you to talk to them and play with them a lot of the time. Cats like more space and more privacy — this does not mean they do not love their owners.Task 8【答案】Little Steve has a pet rabbit, Bunny. He plays with it every day after school. One day his mother sees that her little boy is holding Bunny by the ears. From time to time he gives the poor rabbit an angry shake and says: “How much is two plus two?”“Steve,” says his mother, “Why do you treat your poor little Bunny that way?”“Well,” explains Steve angrily, “Our teacher says that rabbits multiply very quickly, but this dummy can’t even add.”Task 9【答案】Most mammals live on land, but not all of them. Millions of years ago, some mammals went back to the sea and lived there. The legs of these animals disappeared, and after a long time they looked like fish. These animals became whales and dolphins.Whales and dolphins are still like other mammals in many ways. They are warm-blooded and they breathe air. They also have big brains. That is why they are more intelligent than fish. Whales have the biggest brains in the world. Their brain is bigger than the brain of a human being.。

Let me tell you one of the earliest disasters in my career as a teacher. It was January of 1940 and I wasof the student body was a beanpole with hair on top who came into my class, sat down, folded his arms, and looked at me as if to say "All right, teach me something." Two weeks later we started Hamlet. Three weeks later he came into my office with his hands on his hips. "Look," he said, "I came here to be a pharmacist. Why do I have to read this stuff" And not having a book of his own to point to, he pointed to mine which was lying on the desk.给你们讲讲我刚当老师时候的一次失败经历吧。
那是1940年的1月，我从研究生院毕业不久，在堪萨斯城大学开始第一学期的教学工作。
一个瘦高，长得就像顶上有毛的豆角架一样的男学生走进我的课堂，坐下，双臂交叉放在胸前，看着我，好像在说：“好吧，教我一些东西。
”两周后我们开始学习《哈姆雷特》。
三周后他双手叉腰走进我的办公室，“看，”他说，“我来这是学习当药剂师的。
我为什么必须读这个”由于没有随身带着自己的书，他就指着桌子上放着的我的那本。
New as I was to the faculty, I could have told this specimen a number of things. I could have pointed out that he had enrolled, not in a drugstore-mechanics school, but in a college and that at the end of his course meant to reach for a scroll that read Bachelor of Science. It would not read: Qualified Pill-Grinding Technician. It would certify that he had specialized in专攻pharmacy, but it would further certify that he had been exposed to揭露some of the ideas mankind has generated within its history. That is to say, he had not entered a technical training school but a university and in universities students enroll for参加both training and education.虽然我是位新老师，我本来可以告诉这个家伙许多事情的。

We have a public speaking course. This coursegives us a reliable model for preparing and delivering effective presentations. It is amazing. I really enjoy practicing what we learned and then watch the videos of our own presentations. The instructor makes it very easy to feel comfortable and keeps us engaged the whole time.We have a course named "What if Harry Potter is real?" "It is different from Harry Potter courses at other colleges because of its focus on the"what if "questions. The professor leads us to ask questions about the nature and accuracy of history and examine Harry Potter texts for factual information as well as imagined events. Therefore, we can understand the differences between fantasy and reality and the ways in which history is used and misused.2. Our university has many interesting PE classes. Open water swimming course interests me the most. Besides swimming skills, it involves some techniques in diving.But the course only includes practical skills. I think it would be better to integrate some health and nutrition programs into the course.Our university has two half-credit PE courses: Personal Fitness and Fitness Lifestyle Design. The idea of taking PE virtually interests me the most. We are asked to record our heart ratesbefore and after we exercise -- it's supposed to serve as proof that we did in fact complete the assignments.But there is a big loophole. A few students just cheat the online system by inputting the numbers without actually doing the exereise. I think our university needs to set up more barriers to prevent students from cheating the svstem Maybe asking teachers to sign a chart to confirm students did the required exereise will help.1-5 iProduceUnit project 1-4Reference:Hi everyone. The tradition we invented is Spring Equinox Marathon. Yes, marathon sounds a little bit cliche,but as a classic activity, marathon has its advantages. Spring is a season which makes people sleepy. If we hold a Spring Equinox Marathon, students will actively exereise. For one thing, this tradition will benefit their health. And for another, it will also increase students'self-confidence. Once conquering the marathon, students will find daily tasks simple by comparison.We hope this tradition will not only be an opportunity for students to relieve theirstress, but also help them to meet a better self. 1-6 Further listeningNews report 1D D CConversation 1C BD DPassage 1D C D1-7 iEnhanceListening practice 1D B C1-8 Unit testNews report 1D A CConversation 1A C APassage 1C A C新一代大学英语视听说教程2（基础篇）---Unit2 Unit2 2-2 iExplore 1: Listening and speakingPassage 1-1(1)88 pairs / eighty-eight pairs / eighty eight pairs(2) romantic feelings(3) be attracted(4) not attracted(5) desire(6) no Interest(7)249 / two hundred and forty-nine(8) aspects(9) benefit(10) greaterPassage 2-1B A DPassage 2-2(1) value(2) give up(3) occurs(4) standing by(5) recognize/recogniseNews report 1C DNews report 2C D2-3 iexplore 2: Viewing and speaking Viewing and understanding 1C F GViewing and understanding 2(1)success(2) achievement(3) alone(4) occupy(5) caring(6) judge(7) respect(8) temper(9) shout at(10) exchanging(11) win(12) believe(13) doubt(14) miss(15) help(16)accept(17) control(18) friends(19)friends(20) family(21) center/centre(22) a secret(23)shouldn t/should notThinking and speaking 1Reference:1. I have a good friend who I met in high school. At that time,I was in my adolescence. I was stubborn and fought with my moma lot. Instead of encouraging my prejudice against my mom, my friend helped me understand my mom Even though we are in different cities now. she always calls me and checks how I am doing.I had a toxic friend, who always made meuncomfortable. We met each other at an outdoors club. Each time we had a little disagreement, she would shout at me in front of everyone without thinking about how I would feel. Now, I just avoid meeting her.2. A friend in need is a friend indeed. I believe true friends will definitely stand by you and see you through the bad times. But toxic friends, no matter how intimate they usually seem to be, will quickly stay away from you or even laugh at you when you are in trouble.A good friend will sometimes reach you for nothing.You may just spend three hours on the phone discussing all the trivial things in your lives. But toxic friends hardly show up unless they want something from you.2-5 iproduceUnit project 1-5Reference:As we get older, the biggest things that we will remember are the times that we spent with our friends. But do you know people in different countries treat friends differently?Today I'dlike to introduce to you some of the differences between China and Western countries in terms of friendship. I'm planning to approach this topic from three aspects, that is, ways to spend time together. friendship with the opposite sex and ways to deal with toxic friends.First. when spending time with friends, Chinese people prefer to go dining or singing. Chatting over a cup of coffee or playing cards is also an option. Some sports fans may like to watch a sports game together, either on TV or at the scene, or even make a team and play the sports themselves. For some young people, playing online games is a typical way to have fun with friends. Western people spend time with friends in more diversified ways. One of the most popular ways is to have a party with friends -- loud music, games and jokes. They may also have a yard sale, helping each other to get rid of some things they have no use for. Going to a lecture and cooking a meal together are preferred by those,who like to enjoy a peaceful time with friends.Second, in terms of friendship with the opposite sex, Chinese people tend to be more conservative. Two friends of the opposite sex may like each other's online posts frequently and help each other with various problems, but normally they will avoid being together alone and there are still many secrets they prefer to share with a friend of the same sex. By contrast, Western people are more open and direet with friends of the opposite sex. They treat friends of the opposite sex rather equally as same-sex friends. They don't mind being together alone to watch a movie or discuss a frustrating experience at school. They share more secrets with each other than Chinese people do, but this trustful relationship is also likely to develop into a romantic one just as much as it does between Chinese friends.Third, when dealing with toxic friends, Chinese people tend to be more tolerant about their friends'shortcomings, and will express their dissatisfaction more indirectly. When I was in high school. I had a friend who liked to give others various nicknames. Some of the nicknames were funny but some were less acceptable. As friends, we didn't say anything about this even when we felt unhappy about the nicknames he gave us. Differently, Western peple seem to share a set of principles even as friends. So when one of them breaks the principles, their friends will complain about it more directly and an apology is expected.All in all, there is a range of differences betweenfriendships in China and in Western countries due to their different cultures. However, in spite of the differences, friendship is valued and cherished in China andWestern countries just as much as in the rest of the world because of the shared joy and comfort that derive from this very basic human relationship.2-6 Further listeningNews report 1A BConversation 1C B BPassage 1A C C2-7 iEnhanceListening practice 1C C A2-8 Unit testNews report 1A D CConversation 1A B DPassage 1D D C新一代大学英语视听说教程2（基础篇）---Unit3 Unit3 3-2 iExplore1: Listening and speaking Conversation 1D BConversation 2(1) rise(2) pictures(3) a vital tool(4)face-to-face / face to face(5) emotionalPassage 1A A APassage 2ANews report 1D CNews report 2A C3-3 iExplore 2: Viewing and speakingViewing and understanding 1(1) directing(2) experience(3) practice(4) message(5) immediately(6) deliver(7)attention(8) seem(9)recognizes / recognises(10) behavior / behaviour(11) direction(12) focusedViewing and understanding 2(1) trust(2) mindset(3) qualifications(4) positive(5) prospects(6) chargeThinking and speaking 1Reference:I think pre-suasion is an effective way to influence others in our daily life. Professor Robert Cialdini mentions that pre-suasion is the art of influence by capturing attention. Instead of changing what people think, we can direct their attention .A person with skillful method of pre-suasion can get the right chance to influence others effeetively in his dailylife.It is out of question that pre-suasion works wellin business,but I don't think it is an effective way to influence others in our daily life.Just as the three examples Cialdini mentions in the video clip, they are all about business, not about our daily life. In my opinion, to influence others in daily life takes much more than in business. Generally we can be influenced by a genuine heart but not byskillful pre-suasion. After all, those around us, whether they are our friends or our relatives, know who we are quite well. A genuine attitude is much more effective than a skillful method in our daily life.3-4 practice: PronunciationPractice 13-5 iproduceUnit project 1-4Reference:(Li Ming is having a video conversation with his parents two weeks before the summer holiday.)Mother:Honey, summer holiday is coming and I'm going to book your ticket back home.

Among all the cities in China, I believe Beijing is the most difficult to make a travel plan of. The reason is so simple. Everyone knows a little bit about Beijing. So how can we make the plan special? Well, our group focuses on one specific perspective food. So today we will present you a new map of Beijing, that is the Food Map of Beijing.

Today I'd like to introduce to you my favorite family activity -- our annualtraveling.Each summer, my family will travel together. I remember this tradition began since I was five years old. My parents decided that we should travel together regularly in order to build up the family tie as well as helping me accumulate practical knowledge and experiences. At first, we would travel to some other cities in our province. Later we began to travel to other provinces and even other countries. Our trips are usually one week long, which are just long enough for us to relax sufficiently. So far my family have traveled to almost every province in the country and more than 10 foreign countries such as Thailand, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland and Austria,to name just a few.The trips never get boring as we enjoy all kinds of things in the process, including beautiful scenery, interesting people, amazing local customs, and exotic souvenirs.But the most attractive part to me is what happens before the trips, that is, the planning process. Normally at the beginning of a new year. my family will get together and decide on the destination for this year. We will list the places we find interesting and explain the attractions of our choices. After we agree on a particular destination, we will split the work to prepare for the trip -- who will book tickets and hotels, who will pack the luggage, who will gather information of the destination,。

And if all the trees were one tree, what a great tree it would be! And if this tree were to fall in the sea, what a great splash there would be!【原文】Yesterday morning Gretel went to the City of London. She wanted to see St. Paul's Cathedral. She was surprised to see so many Englishmen who looked alike. They were all wearing dark suits and bowler hats. They were all carrying umbrellas and newspapers. When she returned home she asked Mr clark about these strange creatures. "They must be typical English gentlemen," she said." I have often read about them and seen photographs of them. They all look as if they are wearing a uniform. Does the typical English gentleman still exist?"Mr. Clark laughed. "I've never thought about it," he answered." It's true that many of the men who work in the City of London still wear bowler hate and I suppose they are typical Englishmen. But look at this." Mr. Clark picked up a magazine and pointed at a photo of a young man. "He's just as typical, perhaps. It seems as if there is no such thing as a 'typical' Englishman. Do you know the English saying 'It takes all kinds to make a world'? That's true of all countries-including England."“Oh, just like the poem ‘If All the Seas Were One Sea’,” Gretel began to hum happily. If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea that would be! If all the trees were one tree, what a great tree that would be! And if this tree were to fall in the sea, what a great splash that wo uld be!”Task 2【答案】A.1) people were much busier2) colder than England; minus thirty degrees; last longer3) much more mountainous; much higher and much more rocky; more beautiful4) tend to be more crowded5) the houses; smallerB.1) T 2) T 3) F 4) F 5) F【原文】John is British but has worked in Japan.

They seem to work the whole day.Etsuko: Yes, that’s right. We work from Monday through Saturday, even in summer. You know, summer in Japan is just horrible. It’s very, very humid and hot, and you need to shower three times a day.John: So you find it cooler in England?Etsuko: Yes, that’s right.John: Where I was living in Japan, in the North, it was much colder than England, especially in winter, minus thirty degrees centigrade. Does the winter in Osaka last longer than the winter in England?Etsuko: No, I don’t think so. December, January, February, March.John: Yes. It’s a little bit shorter if anything.Etsuko: Ever since I came here, I noticed that the countryside here in England is very beautiful.John: It’s much flatter than in Japan.Etsuko: Yes. Japan is a mountainous country and our cities are full of people. There are lots of people in a limited flat area.John: Yes, I found Japan much more mountainous than Britain, especially in the north. The mountains are much higher and much more rocky. I found it more beautiful than Britain, I think.Etsuko: Yes, if you like mountains.John: And therefore the towns and villages tend to be more crowded.Etsuko: Yes, that’s right.John: Yes. So because the cities are more crowded, the houses tend to be smaller, don’t they?Etsuko: Yes, they are very compact, and we don’t hav e a lot of space. In big cities we have a lot of taller buildings now.John: Is this a problem because there are more earthquakes in Japan?Etsuko: Yes, that’s right and…Task 3【答案】A.1) In the US, people usually dance just to enjoy themselves; they don’t invite other people to watch them.2)Usually eight people dance together.3)Because people form a square in dancing with a man and a woman on each side ofthe square.4) He usually makes it into a song.5) They wear old-fashioned clothes.B.1) F 2) T 3) F 4) F 5) TC.1) eight people form a square; on each side of the square2) what they should do; makes it into a song; sings it3) don’t have much time to think4) old-fashioned clothes【原文】Rosa: Why don’t you have folk dances in the United States?

A lot of people belong to folk dancing groups. But when they dance, they usually do it just to enjoy themselves.

Evil spirits out!" This was known as "Setsubun", a time to celebrate the end of winter and the beginning of spring.2) Before the Chinese Lunar New Year in the old days, many Chinese families burned the picture of their kitchen god to bring good luck. When Lunar New Year's Day came, they put ancw picture of the kitchen god on the wall.3) When American women got married, they sometimes followed an old custom in choosing what to wear on their wedding day. The custom said the bride must wear "something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue". This was to bring good luck.4) Before Lent (a time on the Christian calendar), the people of Ponti, Italy ate an omelet made with 1,000 eggs. People could not eat meat, eggs or dairy products during Lent, so they tried to use up these things before Lent began.5) When winter ended in Czech, the children made a straw man called "Smrt", which was a figure of death.

They had lots of servants to do all the work; they never had to doany cooking or cleaning; they just wore those beautiful dresses and went totea parties.Woman: You must be joking! Their clothes were terribly uncomfortable and their tea parties were very formal and boring. They used to wear their hats and longgloves even when they were eating cakes and biscuits. And men were notusually invited.Man: Really? Weren't they?Woman: And think of the poor servants. What a terrible life — just cleaning and cooking for other people all the time!Man: But you hate housework!Woman: Yes, I know, but there are lots of machines now to help you with the housework. People don't need servants.Man: Maybe they don't, but life then was much slower than it is now-people nowadays are always rushing, and they never have time to stop and enjoythemselves.Woman: Life then was fine for the rich, but it was dreadful for the poor. There was much more illness. They didn't have the money to pay doctors, and they oftenused to die of illnesses that don't exist in England now.Man: Maybe. But people used to talk to each other, play the piano or play cards together. Nowadays people just sit in front of the television for hours andnever talk to each other.Woman: I agree with you about television; but what about their children? They left their Children with the servants all day. Children hardly ever saw theirparents! And the clothes they had to wear! Horrible, tight, uncomfortable,grown-up clothes. Children have a much better life now than they used to,and schools and education are much better too.Man: I hate school.Woman: And look at opportunities for women. In those days, women used to stay at home, play the piano, change their clothes several times a day and have teaparties. What a life! They didn't have any freedom at all. I'm very happyliving now. I can work, have a career, do what I want to.Man: You mean you can work hard all your life like a Victorian servant. Woman: Life isn't all tea parties, you know.Task 6【答案】A.1) b 2) a 3) c 4) aB.1) family unit; process; change; used to be; the extended; the nuclear2) job patterns; progressed; agricultural; industrial; forced; job opportunities; split up3) traditional; family; expanded; other living arrangementsC.1) mother, father, children, and some other relatives, such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby2)only the parents and the children3)previously married men and women marry again and combine the children fromformer marriages into a new family【原文】The American family unit is in the process of change. There used to be mainly two types offamilies: the extended and the nuclear. The extended family most often included mother, father, children, and some other relatives, such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby. Then as job patterns changed and the economy progressed from agricultural to industrial, people were forced to move to different parts of the country for job opportunities. These moves split up the extended family. The nuclear family became more prevalent; this consisted of only the parents and the children. Now besides these two types of traditional groupings, the word "family" is being expanded to include a variety of other living arrangements.Today's family can be made up of diverse combinations. With the divorce rate nearly one in two, there is an increase in single parent homes: a father or mother living with one or more children. "Blended families" occur when previously married men and women marry again and combine the children from former marriages into a new family. On the other hand, some couples are deciding not to have any children at all, so there is an increase in childless families. There are also more people who live alone: single, widowed, divorced. Now one in five Americans lives alone.Task 7【答案】A.B.1) c 2) c 3) a 4) b 5) c 6) c 7) c【原文】In Japan both men and women go to university and both men and women study the arts such as history or English. But very few women study science, medicine or engineering. In engineering classes of thirty or forty students, there may be only one or two women. Men and women both go to university in order to get good jobs: men want to work for a big company, be successful, earn a lot of money and support a family; women, on the other hand, want to work for a big company because they have a better chance of meeting a successful man and getting married. This is changing, however, as Japanese women begin to think about their own careers. They have began to take jobs which they like rather than jobs in order to find a husband.Men work for their whole lives and usually stay with the same company. A woman may work up to ten years, but after that she usually gets married. Most women are married by the age of twenty seven, then they stay at home and look after the children.A man does not cook or look after the children. When he comes home, his meal must be ready. The woman may go out in the afternoon, shopping with her friends or having a chat, but she must go back home by four o'clock to prepare the meal. Then she may have to wait a long time for her husband to come home. Often he has to go out for a drink after work: if he doesn't he may not rise very high in the company. After her children grow up, a woman can go back to work, but it is not easy. If her former company takes older women back, she might be lucky. But most women find it difficult to find a job when they are older.Task 8【答案】A.1) a 2) c 3) b 4) c 5) c 6) b 7) c 8) bB.1) T 2) T 3) F 4) F 5) T 6) F 7) F 8) F 9) T 10) F【原文】Matthew: Geth, how do people set about getting married in England?Geth: I suppose the most common way is still for people to go home. For example, people who live in London now will go back to their homes in the provinceswhere they'll meet all their relatives and their parents, and they'll getmarried in a church, with the bride wearing white, the traditional white.Then they'll go off and have a booze-up with their relatives and friends anda jolly good time will be had by all. Otherwise you can get married in aregistry office, which means you turn up with your bride-to-be orbridegroom-to-be with two witnesses only. The ceremony takes about fiveminutes, I suppose. You sign the form and that's it.Matthew: There are many today who say that marriage is a complete waste of time.What's your view of marriage in the twentieth century?Goth: Well, I live in London as you know. I think in London, the tendency is to...for a... boy and girl, man or woman to live together before marriage andoften to live together without any prospect of marriage at all. I think thisprobably is... is true of London and the other big cities than elsewhere,because after all people in London are living in a big place where home tiesare obviously less restrictive. They can do more or less as they please and Ithink this is the pattern.Matthew: But do you think it helps for people to live together before taking their vows?Geth: I think in a sense the habit of living together before marriage may, in a strange sort of way, make marriage stronger, because after all the people will knoweach other better when they do get married and it might be suggested thatdivorce would be less likely between such a couple.Matthew: Sue, you've been married for two or three years now. How's it working out? Sue: I think it's a successful marriage. It's... I mean, it's difficult to say why, because we basically suit each other very much. We have a good friendship,apart from anything else, and, you know, we just go together very wellbecause we respect each other's freedom and individuality, but on the otherhand we really need each other, you know, it's...Matthew: What about.., have you thought of having children?Sue: Well, obviously, like most young couples, we have thought about it, but, you know, we both feel rather, sort of, loath to lose our freedom just yet. I thinkwe'll probably wait another few years.Matthew: Is it easy in England today to people to get divorced, or is that quite difficult?Chris: I think technically it's probably fairly easy, I think, because I'm not English but, I think technically it's fairly easy to be... to get divorced. But it's not justthe technicality of it which is the problem. Divorce is... is a social stigmawhich people can probably Cope with to varying degrees, but it's also a loteasier for the man because the woman, after she is divorced is, in fact,frowned upon by... by a lot of people in society. She is... is... at a... a muchmore difficult social position in terms of... of meeting other men, or whatever, simply because she is a divorcee.Task 9【原文】Social customs and ways of behaving change. But they do not necessarily always change for the better. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable — especially if they are your guests. There is a story about a rich nobleman who had a very formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. Other guests were amused or shocked, but the nobleman calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.。
现代大学英语 Unit 1 Half a Day
IntroductionElementary English is one of the required courses for English majors. Traditionally it is called intensive reading. Intensive means “which gives a lot of attention or action to a small amount of sth/ in a small amount of time.” It is contrasted to extensive reading. Extensive means “large in amount”. In intensive reading, you need to make sure the correct pronunciation of each word, the appropriate meanings of each word, phrase and sentences, not only the literal meaning, but the deeper and implied meaning. To achieve this , you need to know some background infromation and knowledge.This is only one part of intensive reading. It is an integrated English course. The aims of this course is to development students language skills, that is, listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating；to broaden their knowledge and devlope their ciritical way of thinking as well.
