Book II Lesson 25 Do the English speak English? I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me; I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. He answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn English!' he said.I wonder. In England, each man speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them ! Do they speak English ? Book II Lesson 26 The best art critics ?I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures. Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is 'about'. Of course, many pictures arc not 'about' anything. They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday.' What are you doing ?' she asked.' I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it ?' She looked at it critically for a moment.' It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside-down ?' I looked at it again. She was right! It was! Book II Lesson 27 A wet night Late in the afternoon, the boys put up their tent in the middle of a field. As soon as this was done, they cooked a meal over an open fire.
Lesson 32 Shopping made easy购物变得很方便 Who was the thief? People are not so honest as they once were. The temptation to steal is greater than ever before -- especially in large shops. A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings. One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her. The woman first bought a few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter. The girl 'gave' her mother a free dress once a week! 参考译文 人们不再像以前那样诚实了。偷窃的诱惑力比以往任何时候都更强烈-- 特别是在大的商店里。一名侦探最近注意上了一位穿着讲究的妇女，她总是在星期一上午进入一家大商场。有一个星期一，当这位妇女走进这家商场时，里面的人比往常少，因此，侦探比较容易监视她。这位妇女先是买了几样小商品。过了一会儿，她又选了商场里最昂贵的一件衣服，把它递给了售货员。那售货员以最快的速度为她包好了衣服。然后，那妇女拿过包就走出了商场，根本没有付钱。她被逮捕后。侦探发现原来那售货员是她的女儿。那姑娘每星期“送”她母亲一件免费的衣服！【New words and expressions】（6） once adv. 1)一次(for one time) 例：I’ve been to Paris once．我去过巴黎一次。 once- twice-three times-- 例: The girl gave her mother a free dress once a week.（一周一次） 2)adv．一度，曾经，以前 例: People are not so honest as they once were. 人们不像以前那样诚实了。 工once lived in Africa．我曾经住在非洲。 The book was once famous．这本书曾经很出名。 at once; immediately: right away 立刻，马上 例：After work，come back at once!下班之后立刻回家！

C 1 would not have been injured 2 had been 3 will find 4 had given 5 is forbidden 2．难点练习答案 1 into 2 out of 3 in 4 over 5 after 3．多项选择题答案 1. c 从课文第3-8行可以看出，只有选c. safest 才与课文内容相符，而其他3个选择都与课文内容相反，所以选c. 2. b 根据课文所描述的场景，营救工作正在进行，并且非常困难，营救的结果怎样？困在井里的人能否被救出？还是个未知数，所以只有b. So it is not certain that the men will be saved 与课文内容符合，而其他3个都是肯定句，表示一定会，与课文内容不符合，所以选b. 3. b 只有选b. ago才合乎语法，并同前一句含义相符合，其他3个都不合乎语法，意思也讲不通。 4. c 只有c. Unless (如果不把他们尽快救到地面上来，他们就有可能丧生)才合乎语法和题目意思。a. Except (除了，除……之外)是介词，后面不能跟从句；b. without (没有)后面不能跟从句，也不符合题目意思；d. whether (是否)不符合题目意思；所以只有c. Unless (除非，如果不) 才是正确答案。 5. c
这是一个以It做先行主语的句子，在这种句子中真正的主语是后面的动词不定式、动名词、或名词从句。本句只有选c. to rescue才符合语法，可以做主语。而其他3个选择都是介词短语，不能做这类句子的真正主语，所以选c. 6. a 本句需要选一个与前一句的动词词组cause the roof to...含义相同的词组。c. do it to 和d. do it 都与cause the roof to 含义不符合，意思讲不通。b. make it to(使它)含义与cause the roof to 相同，但不符合语法，因为动词make 后面要求用不带to 的动词不定式，只有a. make it 符合题目意思也合乎语法，所以选a. 7. b 本句只有b. but for(若无，要不是)最合乎语法和题目意思。a. except(除了，除……之外)不合乎习惯用法；c. If not 不合乎语法，应该是If not for 才对，d. unless(除非，如果不)后面只能跟从句，不合乎语法。 8. b 本句需要一个同前一句中的动词collapse (倒塌)含义相同的词或词组。a. explode (爆炸，爆发)；b. fall down (倒下，倒塌)；c. fall over (从……落下，翻倒)；d. blow up (使爆炸，破坏)中，只有b. 与collapse 含义相同，所以选b. 9. c 本句只有选c. possible 最符合语法和题目意思. Make it possible for sb. to do sth. 是固定结构, 意思为"使某人做某事成为可能".其他3个选择都不能用于这个结构. a. able 常用于be able to do sth. (能够/会做某事)这种结构中,主语往往是人或动物,而不是事物. b. capable 常用于be capable of ,后面跟动名词或名词,意思是"能……的"，“有……能力的”，“有……本领的”，是指人有能力 d. probable(可能发生的，很可能的)不适合这种结构。 10. c 前一句中的are running out of 意思为"快要耗尽了",但并不是说"已经用光了",本句需要选一

As it is, they have been drilling for sixteen hours and they still have a long way to go. Meanwhile, a microphone, which was lowered into the mine two hours ago, has enabled the men to keep in touch with their closest relatives. Though they are running out of food and drink, the men are cheerful and confident that they will get out soon. They have been told that rescue operations are progressing smoothly.

Lesson 93 A noble gift 崇高的礼物 Where was the Statue of Liberty made? One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was presented to the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statue, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour. By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886, the statue had been put together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great monument has been a symbol of liberty for the millions of people who have passed through New York Harbour to make their homes in America. 参考译文 世界上最着名的纪念碑之一的自由女神雕像是在19世纪时由法国人民赠送给美国的。这座由雕像家奥古斯特.巴索尔地设计的巨大雕像是用10年时间雕像刻成的。这座雕像的主体是用铜制成的，由艾菲尔特制的金属框架支撑着。在雕像被运往美国之前，必须为它选好一块场地，同时必须建造一个基座。场地选在了纽约港入口处的一个鸟上。到1884年，一座高度达151英尺的雕像在巴黎竖立起来了。第二年，它被拆成若干小块，运到美国。到1886年10月底，这座雕像被重新组装起来，由巴索尔地正式赠送给美国人民。从那时起，这座伟大的纪念碑对通过纽约港进入美国定居的千百万人来说就一直是自由的象征。 【New words and expressions】（13） ★ noble（1）adj. 高尚的，高贵的 ←→ ignoble ?[ig?n?ub?l] a.卑鄙的 a noble mind 崇高的思想 （2） adj. 贵族的、高贵的 a man of noble birth 出身高贵的人； a noble family 名门望族

新概念英语第二册课后题答案详解：Lesson70 新概念英语第二册课后习题Lesson 70 1. d 根据课文第5-6行Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgot all about the matador and charged at the drunk 能够判断，只有d. and attracted the bull’s attention 与课文的内容相符合，其他3个选择都与课文的事实不符。 2. b 只有选b. before he was removed 才与课文内容相符，其他3个选择都不是课文所暗示的情况，不符合课文所描述的内容。 3. c 前一句中的谓语动词charged at 意思为“朝着……冲上去”，本句只有选c. at 才能同前一句的意思温和，因为run at 有“朝着某个目标冲去”的意思。 a. to (朝某个方向跑去)目标不够具体; b. against(碰上，偶然遇见)， d. for (为某种目的而跑)这两个选择都与前一句的含义不吻合，所以选c. 4. c 本句的谓语动词was sure 是过去时，后面从句的动词也应该是过去时才合乎语法。 a. he will, b. that he will, d. he may 这3个选择都不是过去时，所以都不是准确答案。 只有c. he would 是过去将来时，最合乎语法，所以选c. 5. d
本句中的 let 后面只能跟宾语加不带to 的动词不定式(let sb. do sth.)才合乎语法. a. passing, b. to pass, c. in passing 都不能用在let 后面,只有d. pass 是不带to 的动词不定式,所以应该选d. 6. b 该句的谓语动词是(had come)过去完成时,需要选一个相对应的时间状语. a. Up till that time 和 d. Until then 都有"到那时为止"的意思,都能够用于过去完成时,但它们都不能同时表示瞬间的动作的动词(如go, come 等)的完成时连用,故不能选a. d. ; c. So far(到当前为止)只能用于现在完成时. 只有b. By then(那时,此时)能够用于过去完成时,所以b是答案. 7. c 本句的谓语动词looked on 是一般过去时，从句也应该是相对应的过去时态。 a. turn, b. to turn 都不合乎语法;d. it was turning 是过去实行时，一般不适合于以before 或者after 引导的状语从句中;只有c. it turned 是一般过去时，最合乎语法，所以应该选c. 8. a 前一句的unaware of 意思是没有意识到,本句需要选出与它意思相反的词组,以使两个句子意思相同. a. conscious of (意识到,知道的), b. knowledgeable about(对……有见识的，有知识的)，c. sensitive to(对……敏感的)， d. sensible about(对……觉察的，敏感的)中，只有a. 是unaware of 的反义词，所以选a. 9. c
