就拿拿破仑和希特勒两人来说吧，他们所向披靡，便以为自己战无不胜，不可阻挡。

但俄罗斯的冰雪卫士证明他们错了。

冰雪卫士奈拉·B·斯密斯1812年，法国皇帝拿破仑·波拿巴率大军入侵俄罗斯。

他准备好俄罗斯人民会为保卫祖国而奋勇抵抗。

他准备好在俄罗斯广袤的国土上要经过长途跋涉才能进军首都莫斯科。

但他没有料到在莫斯科他会遭遇劲敌——俄罗斯阴冷凄苦的寒冬。

1941年，纳粹德国元首阿道夫·希特勒进攻当时被称作苏联的俄罗斯。

希特勒的军事实力堪称无敌。

他的战争机器扫除了欧洲绝大部分地区的抵抗。

希特勒希望速战速决，但是，就像在他之前的拿破仑一样，他得到的是痛苦的教训。

仍是俄罗斯的冬天助了苏维埃士兵一臂之力。

拿破仑发起的战役1812年春，拿破仑在俄国边境屯兵60万。

这些士兵受过良好训练，作战力强，装备精良。

这支军队被称为大军。

拿破仑对马到成功充满自信，预言要在5个星期内攻下俄国。

不久，拿破仑的大军渡过涅曼河进入俄国。

拿破仑期盼着的速决速胜迟迟没有发生。

令他吃惊的是，俄国人并不奋起抵抗。

相反，他们一路东撤，沿途焚毁庄稼和民居。

大军紧追不舍，但它的长驱直入很快由于粮草运输缓慢而停顿下来。

到了8月，法俄两军在斯摩棱斯克交战，这一战役中，双方各有上万人阵亡。

可是，俄国人仍能在自己的国土上继续后撒。

拿破仑未能取得决定性的胜利。

此刻他面临着一个重要抉择。

是继续追击俄国，军队，还是把军队驻扎在斯摩棱斯克，在那儿度过将到的冬天?拿破仑孤注一掷，决定向远在448公里之外的莫斯科进发。

1812年9月7日，法俄两军在莫斯科以西112公里外的鲍罗季诺激战。

夜幕降临时，3万名法国士兵以及4万4千名俄国士兵或伤或亡，倒在了战场上。

俄国军队再次撤往安全之处。

拿破仑顺利进入莫斯科，然而，对该市的占领成为毫无意义的胜利。

To do so, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. By a stroke of luck/Lucky enough, thanks to the severely cold weather which made the marshland freeze over, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle. The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered.Unit Two Smart CarsV ocabulary1) expansion 2) automated 3) vapor 4) take control of 5) hazards6) satellite7) vibrated 8) magnetic 9) bunched 10) in the air 11)got/was stuck in12) approximatelyII.

On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially highway fatalities. However, today the applicationof computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminatemost of traffic accidents. For example, electronic sensors mountedin your carcan detectalcohol vapor in the airand refuse to start upthe engine.

It is extremely important for a jobapplicantto do hishomework while seeking employment. From my standpoint, whether or not one has done his homeworkclearly makes a difference in his chance of success.I have a friend who is earning somewherein the neighborhood of 100,000 dollars a years in a large computersoftware company. He told me that from his own experience the decision makers who interview prospective employees like people who are well prepared.

For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death. Without doubt, Burton was a man with a heart of stone.Unit6V ocabulary 11) appliances 2) comparative 3) multiply 4) distribution5) prosperity 6) decorate 7) famine 8) large quantities of/ a large quantity of9) streamline 10) fax 11) pointed the way to 12) bewilderedTranslation1) They are exploring the new frontiers of medical science in an attempt to find remedies for incurablediseases/ cures for diseases that are beyond remedy so far.2) Her unique teaching methods apart, Ms Wilson, my math teacher, never tried to cram knowledge into my head.3) The regular weather forecast by the Central TV Station keeps us up with the changes of weather wherever wego on a trip.4) The appalling explosion started a big fire and caused the partial collapse of the building.5) In the modern world, there are more ways than ever to waste away time, and all kinds of distractions are eating into our precious time.Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, and to possess more. Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.。

Book 4 Unit 8 TravelText A In the JungleLearning Objectives:1.understand the main idea and the structure of the text2.appreciate the fluid and sensual writing style3.grasp the key language points and grammatical structure of the text4.conduct a series of reading listening and writing activities related to the theme of this unitFirst periodI. Discussion:1.Do you like traveling? Tell me one of the most impressive places you have visited.2.If you have enough time and money, where is your favorite place to visit? Why?3.What are some distinctive features of an out -of -the –way, inaccessible place such as jungle,desert, or remote mountainous areas? ( unspoiled, unpolluted, primitive)4.Why would such a place appeal to many people today?The use of traveling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are._________ Samuel Johnson(enlarge the knowledge, enjoy the grand sceneries, landscape, landmark, travel around the world, historical interest, pasture, garden architecture, beautiful mountains and clear rivers, inviting views, relaxed, artifact, handicraft, fresh air)In my opinion, one of the pleasant things in the world is going a journey. The soul of journey is liberty, perfectly liberty to think, feel, just as one please. We go a journey chiefly to be free from obstacles, inconvenience, stress, to leave ourselves behind. With the development of the society, more and more people live in urban area. While they are enjoying the convenience of the modern technology and the economy, they are also suffering from all kinds of disadvantages of the city, such as pollutions, traffic jam and the information explosion. Besides, they have to be faced with some pressures from study, work, family ect. So people sometimes really want to find a way to be away from the bustling city, and be back of the nature. In this way, they can appreciate the beauty of the nature; understand the true meaning of the spiritual world. And they can fully relax; their soul can be purified. So more and more people choose travel during the holidays. Some people choose to go to the tranquil, beautiful and mysterious places, such as the old forest, the isolated islands and the jungle. In this text we will appreciate the beautiful sceneries of the Napo River the author showed to us.II Background information1.Amazon is a world of trees and water in the middle of South America. It’s the world’s mightiest river, running through the world’s largest tropical rainforest.Most trips to the Amazon are based on either a boat or a lodge. If you fancy traveling by boat, many organized trips incorporate traveling on the main river with side trips on smaller tributaries, either in motorboat or in canoes. If you prefer exploring the rainforest on foot, you can usually find some local people who are ready to guide you through certain parts of it despite all kinds of difficulties. If you want a little more adventure, the upper Amazon flows off the Andes, creating ideal opportunities for rafting through rarely visited area.While the overwhelming beauty of the Amazon lies in its diverse and complex nature, it isgood guide you will see many birds and some mammals, including monkeys but only if you are very lucky will you see a jaguar.2. Ecuador: republic in northwestern South America, bounded by Colombia on the north, by Peru on the east and south, and by the Pacific Ocean on the west. The country also includes the Galapagos Islands (Colon Archipelago) in the Pacific, about 965 km (about 600 mi) west of the mainland. Ecuador straddles the equator (Ecuador is the Spanish word for "equator") and has an area of 272,045 sq km (105,037 sq mi). Quito is the country's capital.Ecuador has a diverse population composed of people of European, Native American, and African descent. The majority are mestizos, individuals of mixed European and Native American ancestry. Most of the Native Americans live in poverty in the highlands region, where a small elite of European descent controls most of the land and wealth.Ecuador was a Spanish colony until 1822, when independence forces won a decisive victory over Spain. Ecuador has had a democratically elected government since 1979, but historically the government has alternated between civilian rule and military dictatorship. Most political conflicts involved squabbles among groups within the upper classes who controlled the nation's wealth.3. Andes: the principal mountains of South America and one of the greatest mountain systems of the world. The Andes include some of the world's highest peaks. More than 50 of them soar higher than 6,100 m (20,000 ft) above sea level. Only the Himalayas of south central Asia are higher. The lofty plateaus and high mountain valleys of the Andes contain some of the highest permanent human settlements in the world. The Andes are the longest system of high mountain ranges on earth. They extend for more than 8000 km (5000 mi) in a narrow belt along the western edge of the South American continent, from the coast of the Caribbean Sea in the north to the island of Tierra del Fuego in the extreme south. Along almost its entire length, the Andes rise abruptly from the Pacific coast. The mountains reach into seven countries: Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina.4. Napo River: Napo is an important river due its size and the main transportation for many inhabitants but also because of its history. Francisco Orellana arrived at its shore from Quito in the 16th century and navigated to the Amazon and then all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.III A brief introduction of text AThe author Annie Dillard (a renowned nature writer and Prize owner) tells of her visit to the NapoRiver in the heart of the Ecuadorian jungle, one of nature’s most unspoiled places. She describes the beauty of the forest and her admiration for the people who lived there.IV Assignment: 1. Preview the text and get familiar with the new words and phrases2. Do the text organization exercise in page 273.Second periodI. Review : The information of Amazon and the new words mentioned last time.II. Structure AnalysisPart one: ( para 1- 5) description of the Napo River and surrounding jungle scenery at night together with the author’s reflection on it.Part two: ( para 6- 8) Recalling what happened to her at their arrival at the village and what others felt about the Napo River and the people there.Part three: (para 9- 18) detailed description of the journey in the jungle and her feeling about it. III. Detailed study of the textPart one ( para 1- 5)There is an abundance of sensory impression in the essay. All of our five senses are appealing to here.Questions:What did they hear?A nightjar in deep leaved shadow called three long notes, and hushed.All at once, in the thatch house across the clearing behind us came the sound of a recorder, playing a tune that twined over the village clearing, muted our talk on the bankside, and wandered over the river, dissolving downstream.What did they see?They were watching a hand-sized tarantula seize moths that came to the lone bulb on the generator shed beside us.Green fireflies spattered lights across the air and illumined for seconds, now here, now there, the pale trunks of enormous, solitary trees.Napo River was rising, in all silence; it coiled up the sandy bank and tangled its foam in vines that trailed from the forest and roots that looped the shore.Each star in Orion seemed to tremble and stir with my breath.What did they feel?They feel the coldness of the drinks and of the night.What did they smell?They smell the sweetness in the air.Part two: (para 6- 8)Not only does the author move effortlessly from one sensory impression to another, but she also handles the changes in time and place in a smooth, seamless way. In this part she first writes about what happened “later that night”, then moved back to narrate the incidents of “that afternoon”, finally back to “now”. she was sitting on a tree stump on the river bank near a palm- thatch village in Part 1, then she sat in a camp in Part 2, went on a journey away from the river into the jungle and finally returned to a riverside village in Part 3.Questions:1.What made Dilliard loose her hair from its braids in the middle of the night? What hadhappened before that?Part three: (para 9- 18)Questions:1.What did they find along Napo River? ( para 10-12)wide, brown and opaque Napo River, parrot in flocks dart in and out of the light,anacondas, crocodiles, sweet- meated fish gray strips of sandbar, clean peopledugout canoes2.What did they see inside the jungle?

Saul BellowSaul Bellow was born Solomon Bellows in Lachine, Quebec, a suburb of Montreal. He is an American author, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1976, one of the major representatives of Jewish-American writers. Bellow's works influenced widely American literature after World War II. Among his most famous characters are Augie March, Moses E. Herzog, Arthur Sammler, and Charlie Citrine - a superb gallery of self-doubting, funny, charming, disillusioned, neurotic, and intelligent observers of the modern American way of life. He died in the year of 2005, leaving a lot of great works,"Dangling Man," "The Victim," "The Adventures of Augie March," (National Book Award winner) "Seize the Day," "Henderson the Rain King," "Herzog," (National Book Award winner) etc.Fourth periodI. Structure1. Beginning (para.1): the author’s genera1 impression of Illinois at the first sight.Question: what is the author’s general impression for Illinois at the first sight ?Answer: In the author’s eyes, Illinois is monotonous rather than striking at first. There is an eternal nearly featureless sameness2. Body (para.2-6). The author’s detailed description about Illinois.1) The prairie of Illinois (para.2): it extends forever, slowly rising and falling.Question: why did the author mention Indians?Answer: On the one hand, there is a similarity between the rising and falling land and the graves of Indians in shape, so the author could easily think about Indians. On the other hand, the author was to make a contrast between the old days and his time. The Indians would like to have the really great power from the land but they failed. On the contrary, farmers of Illinois nowadays do it.2) The soil of the Illinois prairies (para.3): It is fat, rich, thick and it looks oil-darkened. Question: why did the author give us detailed information about the machines on the prairies? Answer: It can be seen that all these machines are used for farm work. That is to say, there is an advanced agriculture industry on the prairies of Illinois. With the help of these machines, the soil creates wealth, the soil stores wealth, the soil is wealth.3) The solitude and silence on the prairie of Illinois (para.4-5)Question: How did the author describe the solitude and silence on the prairie?Answer: As far as the author is concerned, the solitude and silence are deep and wide. Judging from the signs made by the farmers, he knew that there must be someone, but to his disappointment, he could not see anybody on account that their houses are far within the fields.

全新版大学英语综合教程4unit8课件英语是一门很有用的语言，它能使我们有机会去了解世界的广博、多元等。

英语也是一门工具语言。

它能使我们对各种文化的了解更为深入。

它是我们表达自己的一种重要手段。

英语对不同国家来说有不同的意义。

它的存在不仅是为了完成我们日常表达、交际等任务的需要，同时也是我们对世界发展的了解与认知的需要。

英语也是一种工具或手段去与其他语言或其它语言进行沟通的一种手段。

1、我们必须知道，任何一个语言都有他自己不可代替的地位，而英语也是如此。

我们必须记住，任何一个国家的社会发展都不可能完全遵循英语的规则而行，因此英语也必须对各种文化因素都有着自己独特的价值。

英语是一种语言功能的高度集中表现出来的形式。

因此英语不能脱离某一种文化要素而独立存在，而应该同其他语言一起共同存在。

因此英语会随着与其它国家的交流而不断更新、不断发展。

我们可以用我们学习到的许多知识去补充英语。

例如我们可以学到用英语表达自己，可以学到用英语交际；我们可以学习到用英语学习自己文化；还可以学习到用英语表达出自己对某一文化或生活观点。

因为英语也可以与其它国家和地区产生联系并产生影响。

例如英语可以向其他国家学习一些文化或生活现象；而如果一个国家与其他国家不同时也会相互影响。

所以我们在学习语言时也应该学习到这个规律。

2、虽然每个国家所用的语只有一个，但是这并不意味着我们就不能用英语交流。

当我们走进一个新环境，面对一个新的朋友时，有时就必须学会用英语来表达自己。

因此，有时我们需要学习一门新的语言才能和我们的朋友交流。

如在学习英语的过程中，如果我们掌握了正确的英语表达方法，就能在短时间内适应周围环境，逐渐掌握一种新语言。

但是如何掌握一种语言，以及如何学会说这种语言呢？这就需要通过不断学习来实现。

首先，要在学习过程中注意积累英语语料中词汇和语法词汇。

要注意英语词汇量和句子结构方面与英语语料库中相应词汇量相似词汇量大语法词汇量小。

其次要注意英语单词之间要进行比较，注意词与词之间在结构方面是否具有相同规律。

For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.Unit 3Text AText Organization 1.Parts ParagraphMain IdeassPart One Paras 1-6 An ill-prepared college graduate failedhis interviewPart Two Paras7-27Four pieces of advice on being a successful intervieweePart ThreeParas28-31Make your own tracks in whatever you do.2.Suggestions Examples1) Prepare to win. 1) Michael Jordan2) Never stop learning. 2) a 90-year-old tennisplayer3) Believe in yourself, even when no one else does. 3) the four-minute mile, theNew YorkMarathon and the Vietnamveteran4) Find a way to make a difference. 4) New York cabdriversVocabularyI. 1. 1) rude 2) physically3) structure 4) made a difference5) blurted out 6) chuckling7) measurable 8) prospective9) preparations 10) sparkled11) took a crack at 12) partner2. 1) go after 2) look back on/at3) be put up 4) stood for5)build in 6) follow up7) be hooked up to 8) closed up3. 1) Mary's parents grilled her about where she had been all night.2) …it was beyond Cinderella’s wildest dreams that she could one day in the king’s palace.3) The translation of the popular novel has just finished and a Chinese version will be in readers' hands soon.4) As with anything else, it is important to do your homework before going on an interview.5) Jim's car broke down last week and the repair cost was in the neighborhood of 150 dollars.4. 1) The director of the Urban Development Office will interview the two local applicants, aswell as the two veteran landscapers recommended by the staff committee this afternoon, to pick out the prospective designer for the construction of the city square.2) From his standpoint, the project manager has made every endeavor to go after the best engineer for the work of cleaning up the river before the deadline set by the mayor.3) Life is short, as the saying goes.

全新版大学英语综合教程第四册课后习题答案及课文翻译全新版大学英语综合教程课后答案完整版免费下载Appendix IKey to Exercises (Units 1-8)Unit 1Part I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:The song you are about to hear is based on a true story. It tells the tale of the sinking of a ship called The Edmund Fitzgerald that was caught in a storm on Lake Superior back in November 1975, with the loss of all on board.Lake Superior is an enormous lake and the wind can at times make it dangerous to shipping, whipping up huge waves. November is a particularly dangerous month for such storms. This had long ago been noticed by a local native American tribe, the Chippewa, who used to speak of how death threatened from the lake when storm clouds gathered in November. According to legend, the big lake, which they called Gitche Gumee, was without mercy in that month, never giving up those it had marked for death.It is this legend that starts the song before it moves on to talk of The Edmund Fitzgerald. The Edmund Fitzgerald, like many other ships that sail the lake, was built to carry iron ore. Filled with ore theseships lie low in the water and can find themselves in difficulties in rough weather. So, with a full load on board we can imagine the anxiety that must have begun to creep into the hearts of the sailors on board The Edmund Fitzgerald as they felt the cold wind beginning to rise and heard the sound of it singing as it blew through the wires. For, despite the fact that the captain and crew were all experienced, "well-seasoned" as the song says, they all knew the dangers of November storms. Before long their worse fears started to come true and the storm had risen to a hurricane. The despair of the crew is captured in the words of the cook. First he comes on deck to tell the sailors it is too rough to cook, they will have to wait for their supper. The next we hear from him he is saying - $6 - Appendix Igoodbye to his shipmates. Water is pouring into the ship. The captain sends out a distress signal, but that is the last that is heard from the ship. It is swallowed up by the lake, leaving nothing behind but the mourning families of the twenty-nine sailors and the sound of the church bell ringing in their memory.Now lets listen to the song:The Wreck of the Edmund FitzgeraldGordon LightfootThe legend lives on from the Chippewa on downOr the big lake they call Gitche GumeeTke lake, it is said, rfever gives up her deadWhen the skies or November turn gloomyWitk a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons moreThan the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed emptyThat good ship and true was a hone to be chewedWhen the gales of November came earlyTke skip was tke pride of tke American side Coming back from some mill in Wisconsin As tke kig freigkters go, it was kigger tkan most Witk a crew and good captain well seasoned Concluding some terms witk a couple of steel firms Wken tkey left fully loaded for Cleveland And later tkat nigkt wken tke skips kell rang Could it ke tke nortk wind tkeyd been feeling Tke wind in tke wires made a tattle-tale soundAnd a wave broke over tke railingAnd every man knew, as tke captain did tooTwas tke witck of Novemker come stealingTke dawn came late and the breakfast had to waitWken the Gales of November came slashingWhen afternoon came it was freezing rainIn the face of a hurricane west windAppendix 1 - 6? -When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayingFellas1, its too rough to reed ya2At seven PM a main hatchway caved in, he saidFellas, its heen good to know yaThe captain wired in he had water coming inAnd the good ship and crew was in perilAnd later that night when his lights went out of sightCame the wreck of the Edmund FitzgeraldDoes any one know where the love of God goes When the waves turn the minutes to hours The searchers all say theyd have made Whitefish Bay If theyd put fifteen more miles hehind her They might have split up or they might have capsized They may have broke deep and took water And all that remains is the faces and the names Of the wives and the sons and the daughters JLake Huron rolls, Superior singsIn the rooms of her icewater mansionOld Michigan steams like a young mans dreamsThe islands and hays are for sportsmenAnd farther helow Lake OntarioTakes in what Lake Erie can send herAnd the iron boats go as the mariners all knowWith the Gales of November rememberedIn a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed In the Maritime Sailors Cathedral The church hell chimed til it rang twenty-nine times For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald■■.??. !1 fella: (slang) fellow2 ya: (slang) you- 66 - Appendix 1Trie legend lives on irom the Chippewa on down Or the nig lake they call Gitche Gumee Superior, they said, never gives up her dead When the gales or November come earlyPart II Text Alexf Organization": ■■■■■■ -Parts Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-2 Introduction — Both Napoleons and Hitlers military campaigns failed because of the severity of the Russian winter.Part Two Paras 3-11 Napoleons military campaign against Russia Part Three Paras 12-20 Hitlers military campaign against the Soviet UnionPart Four Para 21 Conclusion—The elements of nature must be reckoned with in any military campaign.2.Sections Paragraphs Main IdeasSection One Paras 12-13 Hitlers blitzkrieg against Russia and Stalins scorched earth policySection Two Paras 14-18 the battles fought at Leningrad, Moscow and StalingradSection Three Paras 19-20 the Russian counter-offensive and the outcome of the warVocabularyI. 1. 1) alliance3) stroke5) minus7) declarations2) heroic 4) limp6) regions 8) siege全新版大学英语综合教程课后答下载文件预览：//sundxs/pic/original/soft/答案/公共基础课/大学英语/全新版大学英语第一册综合教程练习答案及课文译文.rar//sundxs/pic/original/soft/答案/公共基础课/大学英语/全新版大学英语第二册综合教程练习答案及课文译文.rar//sundxs/pic/original/soft/答案/公共基础课/大学英语/全新版大学英语第三册综合教程练习答案及课文译文.rar//sundxs/pic/original/soft/答案/公共基础课/大学英语/全新版大学英语第四册综合教程练习答案及课文译文.rar。
