1 新视野大学英语 第三版 第二册读写教程课后答案 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 人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言 经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国 家使用 与其他语言一样 英语也发生了很大的变化 英语的历史可以分为三 个主要阶段 古英语 中古英语和现代英语 英语起源于公元 5世纪 当时三 个日耳曼部落入侵英国 他们对英语语言的形成起了很大的作用 在中世纪和 现代社会初期 英语的影响遍及不列颠群岛 从 17世纪初 它的影响力开始在 3 世界各地显现 欧洲几百年的探险和殖民过程导致了英语的重大变化 今天 由于美国电影 电视 音乐 贸易和技术 包括互联网的大受欢迎 美国英语 的影响力尤其显著 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 culture and art Text B The great

confusion 5 Expressions in use apply to 2 in a bid to 3 end up 4 speaking of 5 get hold of 6 appealed to 7 leaving behind 8 focus on EX 6 Sentence structure even though 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 distinctive difference 3 high

control 4 language deficit 5 high standards 6 language proficiency 7 acquire knowledge 8 competent communication 9 overcome deficiencies 10 sketch thoughts 11 effective communication 12 advanced vocabulary Unit 2 College The ladder to success Text A The humanities Out of date Reading Comprehension 1 because English or history majors are considered less competitive 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 Promising

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

available to 3 been compelled to 4 described as 4 exposed to 6 rather than 7 have something to do with 8 for its own sake Ex 6 1 A 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

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 作为美国文化价值体系的一个重要组成部分 个人主义 受到大多数美 国人的推崇 美国人认为家庭作为一个群体 其主要目的是促进家庭各成员的 10 幸福 与许多其他文化相比 美国家庭成员的主要职责 不是在社会上或经济 上提高整个家庭的地位 人们通常认为 什么是对个人最好的要比什么是对家 庭最好的更为重要 与自由相伴而来的是照顾自己的责任 因为所选择的自由 承载了责任 即必须接受自己的选择所带来的后果 许多美国人给他们的孩子 很多的自由 因为他们希望孩子们能够独立和自力更生 在美国人强调个人自 由的同时 父母与孩子间平等的信念也对美国家庭产生了巨大的影响 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 2 C 3 D 4 A 5 B 6 D 7 D 8 C Words in use 4 1 hollow 2 restless 3 demonstrate 4 exiled 5 miserable 6

tell her own love story She didn t expect that she would end up marrying Butch He became her 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
