全新版大学英语综合教程二unit1-unit8选词填空cloze答案Unit 1Is there a contrast between learning styles in China and the West? While we should be careful to avoid exaggerating the differences, they do appear to exist. In China, for example, greater priority is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, on the other hand, place more emphasis on promoting creativity in young children, leaving them to pick up skills later. American parents tend to avoid rushing in to assist their children as they try to accomplish a task, thinking in better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Such an approach can, on occasion, be mistaken for neglecting one’s parental duties by those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantages, and it may well be worthwhile to search for a superior method that would combine the best of both worlds.Unit2If you visited Karl Green, you might not at first sight think he was well-off . Most of what he owns is rather dated and he will readily admit to falling into the bottom income bracket . Yet he would deny that he is poor, for he feels that his life is full of less tangible riches . Rather than devoting himself to the pursuit of money before all else, he cherishes the pleasures of friendship. His lack of interest in possessions does, however, sometimes make him feel out of place in today’s materialistic society and he still clearly feels hurt when he remembers the abrupt departure of a girlfriend who did not share his views. Yet there are many who admire him, particularly for his focus on helping the poor through collecting donations each Christmas. Unit3Our dad is typical of the older generation. You can certainly say he gives our welfare his constant attention. Sometimes, however, we wish he wouldn’t try quite so hard. To be frank, he seems to have a talent for embarrassing us by making dumb remarks. He should know better than that,but he never seems to learn and just goes on making the same old mistakes repeatedly . The result is that we live in constant dread of his well-intentioned interference in our affairs. Mom is no help, as you can bet she will always see things from his point of view rather than from ours. Overall, though, he’s awonderful dad and I assure you I wouldn’t trade him for anyone in the world.Unit 4With the Internet we can escape into another world at the click of a button. For many this virtual world is a dream come true. They find they can do away with the daily routines and stay inside for weeks and everything from home. Other, however, may find the virtual world a nightmare . It is especially annoying when the Internet connection is slow and everything crawls at a snail’s space. The computer does not take in your messages nor does it spit out data . Still others, who get the virtual world, may find communicating face-to-face too emotional and unbearable. At times they feel this so strongly that they have to flee from real human contact, hurrying to get back on line to the comfort and safety of a less demanding world.Unit5The following is how Michael Stone looks back on that day's competition.In my mind's eye I can see every detail of that pole vault. The bar was set at a new height.As I heard the crowd groan,I knew my competitor had failed to clear it.It was time for my mind with anxiety.I was tense and my palm began to sweat . I tried to shake off the tension, but was unsuccessful. At the critical moment, I remembered my mothe's advice to breathe deeply and brought myself under control . Then I was off , up and away, Soaring like an eahle , just as I did in my recurring dreams. The thump of my landing brought me back to earth. I had done it! This was no mere tantasy, but the real thing. All the sweat and hard work had paid off. Friends were rushing to congratulate me and I was surrounded by numerous clicking cameras of the media.Unit6Isn’t it strange how chance can play such a large part in what we become? If Carolyn hadn’t stumbled into that engineering course, she would never have become an engineer. At the time she did not know the first thing about anything mechanical. But when it comes to hard work, she is no stacker. She threw herself into study and joined in the project to make a hybrid vehicle. She admits that she often found studying math difficult, but she gritted her teeth and got on with it, working on the premise that math is a hard subject for most people. Girls, she argues, are no more at a disadvantage in this respect than boys. Nonetheless, she still had moments of panic when she found making progress particularly difficult.Carolyn concludes that we should not allow cultural expectations tolimit our horizons, for we are far more flexible in what we can achieve than they would imply.Unit7A fascinating feature of the English language is its tolerance of new words and phrases, either borrowed or invented.There exists no authority to examine each new addition to the language, to determine what is acceptable and to ban what is not. True, some people do think that borrowed words corrupt the language. They think the language is running out of control. At one time, influenced by the intellectual elite in France, some people came up with the idea of establishing an academy to maintain the purity of the English language. Fortunately the idea never took hold. Massive borrowing from a rich, variety of sources was, as a result, left free to greatly enrich the language.Unit8Rachel Carson provides a vivid description of an American town that seemed to be living under a wicked spell (1) .The town was stricken(2) by a whole series of misfortunes(3).Its surroundings(4),once full of apple blossom(5)and the song of migrant(6)birds,had changed dramatically. The bird had deserted(7) the area,leaving the countryside in silence(8). Farm animals sickened(9)and died. Chicks ceased to hatch(10) The people naturally puzzled(11) over the cause of their troubles . Some felt that perhaps they had no one to blame but themselves for ceasing to live in harmony with (12) nature.。

A Fable For TomorrowThere was once a town In the heart of America where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings. The town lay in the midst of a checkerboard of prosperous farms, with fields of grain and hillsides of orchards where, in spring, white clouds of bloom drifted above the green fields. In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of colour that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines. Then foxes barked in the hills and deer silently crossed the field, half hidden in the mists of the autumn mornings.明天的寓言从前在美国中心有一个小镇，那里的万物看上去都与其四周的环境融洽相处。

小镇的四周是像棋盘交错的兴旺的农庄，还有一块块的田地和一座座遍布山坡的果园。

春天来了，白色的鲜花云彩般地漂浮在绿色的田野上；秋天到了，橡树、枫树和桦树色彩斑斓，在一片松树林间火焰般地燃烧与跳跃。

小山上狐狸吠叫，田野间小鹿静静地跃过，所有的一切都在秋天清晨的薄雾中半隐半现。

Along the roads, laurel, viburnum and alder, great ferns and wild flowers, delighted the traveler’s eye through much of the year. Even in winter the roadsides were places of beauty, where countless birds came to feed on the berries and on the seed heads of the dried weeds rising above the snow. The countryside was, in fact, famous for the abundance and variety of its bird life, and when the flood of migrants was pouring through in spring and autumn people travelled from great distances to observe them. Others came to fish the streams, which flowed clear and cold out of the hills and contained shady pools where trout lay. So it had been from the days many years ago when the first settlers raised their houses, sank their wells and built their barns.在路的两旁，一年中许多时候，月桂树、荚莲、桤木、蕨类植物和各样的野花都能让过往的行人赏心悦目。
