1 新視野大學英語 第三版 第二冊讀寫教程課后答案 Unit 1 Language in mission Text A An impressive English lesson Ex 1 Understanding the text 1 Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules 2 The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture are so marvelous and remarkable that they should be described at least in a brief account however what the student could do was only one single utterance whoa without any any specific comment 3 Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language 4 Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it s not properly dealt with 5 He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs 6 Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before 7 The author uses road map and car to describe grammar and vocabulary Here road map is considered as grammar and car as vocabulary 8 Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure the interjection whoa reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son it also reflects the author s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student though in two different situations and with two different feelings Ex 3 Words in use 1 condense 2

book but I don t care about it at all My assumption is since I have never learned Chinese grammar what s the sense of learning English grammar In fact English grammar has always been a big headache to me English grammar is very complicated because unlike Chinese there are many verb tenses Even stranger than verb tenses English grammar also contains something very confusing For example I don t remember how many times my middle school teacher tried to impose the differences between used to and be used to on us Sometimes he would go on with the explanation for 20 minutes or so He even summarized the differences by listing three or four points for us to memorize However they could never stay in my head I don t remember how many times I got it wrong with the sentences containing used to or be used to on my exams I was really confused with these two phrases and I can never get them right In brief I m allergic to learning English grammar Curiously I just wonder if the native speakers of English have a microcomputer in their brain to help them utter the two phrases promptly with just a click of their brain mouse Ex 9 E C Translation 人們普遍認為英語是一種世界語言 經(jīng)常被許多不以英語為第一語言的國

由于美國電影 電視 音樂 貿(mào)易和技術 包括互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的大受歡迎 美國英語 的影響力尤其顯著 Ex 10 C E Translation Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters In this long evolutionary process Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers personal feelings knowledge self cultivation personality and so forth thus there is an expression that seeing the calligrapher s handwriting is like seeing the person As one of the treasures of Chinese culture Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the world s treasure house of

it is important of the students to have a deep understanding of the texts it doesn t make any sense to read texts word for word from the beginning to the end as it is a matter of little importance to us it doesn t make much sense to argue out which is wrong or right or which is better or worse it makes no sense to compel children to obey their parents instead we should try to tell them what is right and what is wrong EX 7 II might as well have stayed at home We might as well have taken the train home 4 So he might as well have told me all about it Collocation Warm up essential framework 2

when the job market is shrinking and they have to study something that can help them more easily locate their future jobs 2 because as the tuition is climbing higher and higher many students have run away from studying the humanities and toward hard skills that they think will lead to employment 3 since more students are now taking job oriented courses libraries where students of liberal arts used to study are getting less popular than before in contrast labs are getting more eye catching because students of science and engineering do experiments and research there 4 because this inner drive that can be either constructive or destructive is so mysterious and powerful that it has attracted many people to speculate on it From ancient times these men and women developed artistic languages in the form of story music myth painting architecture sculpture landscape and traditions which from the very foundation of civilization 5 Studying the humanities improves your ability to read and write makes you familiar with the language of emotion and the creative process and more importantly provides you with a wide scope of possibilities that are open to you 6 Because in modern life an ideal capacity for establishing one s career is to have both technical knowledge and inner insight not just one without the other 5 7 Well rounded human beings are those who have insight and understand the passions hopes and dreams common to all humanity 8 Since many people who once studied the humanities became famous in their career the author implies that if students spend more time studying the humanities they could surely become successful in the future as well Language focus 3 1 promotes 2 accelerate 3 mystery 4 insight 5 boost 6 analysis 7 calculate 8 barriers 9 destruction 10 prospect 4

of digital education resources of our country has made 6 great achievements Many universities have set up their own digital learning platforms and digital teaching is playing an increasingly important role in education Compared with the traditional way of teaching the digital way has a lot of advantages On one hand digital teaching makes global sharing of teaching resources possible on the other hand it expands the learner s study time and space to learn allowing people to get access to the digital virtual schools through the Internet anytime and anywhere These advantages make it possible for people to shift from one time learning to lifelong learning Unit 2 TextB What college bring us Ex 1 1 Main idea College has never been magical for everyone Major detail More high school graduates don t fit the pattern of college 2 Main idea We need to revise our attitudes and reform the system Major detail we only judge things based on our own college experiences 3 Main idea College education seems to have wasted time and accumulated debt Major detail Close to 80 percent of new jobs can be performed by someone without a college degree Ex 2 1C 2D 3C 4A 5D 6B 7B 8A Ex 3 1 It s very true because the job market is becoming more competitive Yes without a college degree one can end up with nothing to do Sure college brings students knowledge and personal growth No it s not necessary to get a college degree to have a better career Disagree college is too expensive now for students and family to afford 2 More competitive More knowledgeable More confident More opportunities 3 Traditional ideology 7 More promising future High expectations of their children 4 Worth their money because it s an investment that will pay off later A waste of their money because the tuition is too high Not sure if they ll profit from the large sum they invested 5 Analytical ability Critical thing skills Broad knowledge Ex 4 1 enroll 2 revise 3accumulate 4 accorded 5 evaluate 6 prime 7

teacher no matter how knowledgeable he is cannot teach his students everything they want to know 2 No matter where you travel you can always find someone to communicate with in English since English is an important language 3 No matter what work a person is doing if he gives it his best each day he creates lots of happiness for himself Ex 7 1 Although the number of applications is small there is little doubt that the program will help the students who really need financial aid 2 There is no doubt that computer crime is a very serious problem so people think that all hackers need to be punished for their actions 3 Though the boy worked very hard and finally successfully passed the exam there is no doubt that overwork and too much worry caused his illness Ex 8 1 promising 2 worsens 3 shrinking 4 dominant 5 land 6 great 7 well rounded 8 creative 9 elegant 10 constructive 11 skills 12 make Unit 3 Discovery of a new life stage 8 Text A The humanities Out of date Ex 1 1 Because people in different life stages are confronted with different problems and setbacks and each group of people in a particular time period have their particular worries and pains 2 The norm refers to the general consensus that as soon as students graduated from college they would enter adulthood and be able to find an ideal job leading to their career 3 They are recognized as a new life stage that comes after high school graduation continues through college and leads to starting a family and having a career 4 Because nowadays so many young people are following this new lifestyle that it has become a trend As long as the economic situation continues its long slide this new stage is unavoidable 5 Unlike their parents a large number of young people are now delaying marriage child bearing and even employment during their odyssey years 6 They often resent the pressure they re feeling and keep a distance from their parents or even run away from home Many also resort to computer games iPods iPhones or iPads 7 Their parents feel more anxious and upset seeing their children s odyssey years continue to stretch without a clear direction 8 The author thinks as people are getting to know the odyssey years better both parents and their children can tackle this phase better For parents they can understand their children more for children they can explore and discover themselves with a positive attitude Ex 3 1 peculiar 2 radical 3 phase 4 sensible 5 predict 6 labeled 7 resent 8 witnessed 9 equivalent 10 parallels Ex 4 ic Chaotic dramatic academy ion Depression detection erosion Classification confuse cooperate dictate ist 9 Rightist journal Ex 5 1 journal 2 chaotic 3 cooperate 4 erosion 5 dramatic 6 confuse 7 academy 8 rightists 9 depression 10 dictate 11 detection 12 classification Ex 6 K E A C L I G N H O Ex 7 1 saddled with 2 back off 3 gives way to 4 resorted to 5 make allowances for 6 wonder at 7 prior to 8 based upon on Ex 8 The odyssey years are certainly a very complicated phase of life for young people Not only do these young people need to overcome many difficulties they also have to face many challenges from their parents The differences between parents and children can be well observed in their completely different attitudes and views First they differ in their attitude toward life Parents always wonder what has gone wrong with the new generation They feel that during their time young boys and girls were better behaved more obedient and had greater respect for elders Young people on the other hand feel that they are capable enough to learn on their own rather than lean heavily on the older generation for guidance Young people do not like to be spoon fed by their parents The differences also appear in the way the two generations look at things For example the parents generation never understood Elvis and the Beatles Because they couldn t understand what was going on they were frequently opposed to them and saw rock as the devil s music Young people however are crazy about the modern music and would love to listen to it for a hundred times a day Wherever they go they ll have their iPod with them In conclusion it s very difficult for parents and their youngsters to get along due to their distinctive attitudes and the way they view things To fill this gap both parents and their grown children need to be more understanding to each other Ex 9 作為美國文化價值體系的一個重要組成部分 個人主義 受到大多數(shù)美 國人的推崇 美國人認為家庭作為一個群體 其主要目的是促進家庭各成員的 10 幸福 與許多其他文化相比 美國家庭成員的主要職責 不是在社會上或經(jīng)濟 上提高整個家庭的地位 人們通常認為 什么是對個人最好的要比什么是對家 庭最好的更為重要 與自由相伴而來的是照顧自己的責任 因為所選擇的自由 承載了責任 即必須接受自己的選擇所帶來的后果 許多美國人給他們的孩子 很多的自由 因為他們希望孩子們能夠獨立和自力更生 在美國人強調(diào)個人自 由的同時 父母與孩子間平等的信念也對美國家庭產(chǎn)生了巨大的影響 Ex 10 Filial piety is the basic code of ethics in the ancient Chinese society Chinese people consider filial piety as the essence of a person s integrity family harmony and the nation s well being With filial piety being the core of Confucian ethics it has been the moral standard for the Chinese society to maintain the family relationship for thousands of years It s undoubtedly a traditional Chinese virtue The culture of filial piety is a complex concept rich in content and wide in range It concludes not only cultural ideas but also institutional etiquettes Generally speaking it refers to the obligation of children to their parents required by the society including respect care support for the elderly and so forth Filial piety is fundamental to the ancient Oriental civilization Unit 3 Text B Finding my way back home Understanding the text 2 1 A

boyfriend just because of her wish to find a cute boyfriend She didn t really want to marry him at the beginning 11 2 Because when she met up with Butch the first time he kept staring at her all night long He flattered her and fell in love with her at first sight He looked really wild or maybe even dangerous 12 3 Because Butch had a bad boy image which was very tempting to a lot of girls and his wild dynamic personality was a little frightening She didn t know whether she could be getting along with him 13 4 Though she always had an excellent reputation in respect to her schoolwork she thought that her college life was dull with no fun In her opinion college was supposed to be a time of great learning and also of some fun 14 5 Because she was becoming more interested in him and she wanted to find out if she was the right date in the eyes of Butch thinking of herself as a traditional girl 15 6 It means that Butch didn t want to do anything to change his bad situation The word fate here refers to the fact that Butch was going to be expelled from the university 16 7 Though Butch was wild and would sometimes display directly his love in front of her friends he was always a perfect gentleman 12 at his core And they had a pure and responsible relationship for seven years 17 8 The author and her husband s faithful journey of love that started with a causal attraction but bloomed into a mature love proves that romantic love can last long through the ups and downs in life 18 Ex 3 19 1 confess 2 tempting 3 commence 4 coordinating 5 granted 20 6 deserved 7 displayed 8
