Unit 1 一小步，重返我们的始发地阿波罗登月任务本应揭示月球的真相，但实际上却让我们更了解了地球和人类自身。

1969年7月，尼尔·阿姆斯特朗和巴兹·奥尔德林刚从月球返回。

人们给他俩播放了录像短片，上面记录了全世界对登月的反响。

他俩看到美国新闻主播沃尔特·克朗凯特在擦拭泪水；从中国到巴西，人们簇拥在电视机前；电视机专卖店外的人行道上也挤满了敬畏不已的观众。

奥尔德林转向阿姆斯特朗说：“尼尔，我们错过了整场好戏。

”这一评论让人想起乔治·哈里森（甲壳虫乐队成员之一）的抱怨。

他说，甲壳虫乐队觉得自己是局外人，因为“我们是唯一无缘看到‘甲壳虫’演出的人”。

奥尔德林的话揭示了阿波罗任务的一个惊人事实：它们不是关于月球，而是关于地球。

登月背后的思考从登月任务实施之初，即阿波罗8号飞船的成员作为第一批飞离地球的宇航员时就初露端倪了。

当他们在1968年平安夜围绕月球飞行时，他们真正好奇的不是飞船下方的死寂晦暗的月球，而是远方那个鲜活蔚蓝的地球。

这三个人，是第一批近距离俯瞰月球的地球人，他们心里油然而生一股崇敬之情，因为他们是第一批从浩瀚穹宇眺望地球的宇航员。

目睹地球从月平线上升起，他们觉得自己很渺小。

他们向全世界亿万听众诵读《圣经·创世纪》的开篇，结束时问候大家：“圣诞快乐，上帝保佑你们，地球人！”在随后的四年里，阿波罗任务教会我们作为人类意味着什么：一句话，永不满足现状。

好奇心没有穷尽，它只是不断找到新目标。

这一转变有多快，彼得·康拉德可谓感受良多。

他是月球行走第三人（也是第一个在月球上摔倒的人）。

一旦阿姆斯特朗和奥尔德林摘得首次登月的桂冠之后，没有人再对阿波罗12号感兴趣了。

康拉德后来和其他过了气的美国名人一起出现在美国运通金融公司的广告中，其中包括为兔八哥配音的梅尔·布兰科。

然而，从诸多方面看，康拉德参加的探月飞行是所有阿波罗任务中最有趣的一次。

2. Men earn ten dollars an hour on average, whereas women only seven dollars.翻译：男工平均工资每小时10美元，而女工才每小时7美元。

4. The final examinationis close at hand; you'd be tter spend more time reading.翻译：期中考试迫在眉睫，你最好多花点时间看书。

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 jobsBecause 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 employmentSince 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.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 form the very foundation of civilization.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.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.Well-rounded human beings" are those who have insight and understand the passions, hopes and dreams common to all humanity.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.Gain more insight in life and society.• Better understand and predict human behavior.• Realize different interpretations of life and history.• Understand the past which has created the present. • Be aware of cultural and religious differences• Help read and write better.• Broaden their horizons.• Become more well • Become more well-rounded. -rounded.• Become a better communicator.• Develop critical thinking skills.• Have more flexibility for the future career.• Personal interest.• Special talents.• Futur • Future job prospects. e job prospects.• Financial status.• Family advice.• Friends influence.• Social environment.• Better job opportunities. • More practical skills.• Higher • Higher-paid jobs. -paid jobs.• Yes, it invests students with great insight.• Yes, it helps s tudents be better-rounded.• Yes, it provides students with flexibility to change their career.• No, it doesn't satisfy students' needs for their future career.• No, colleges are experiencing deep budget cuts and need to prioritize their financial resources.• No, the society needs more skills, not literature.Promotesacceleratemysteryinsightboostanalysiscalculatebarriersdestructionpr ospectpromisingbearinghousingobjectiveoffendexcludeexcessexecuteintensive / intensifyidentity Excessbearingobjectiveintensifyexecutepromisingexcludeidentityoffendhousin g Insighteducationboostmysteryprospectpromoteinvestappreciationaffect edspeculateare liable toin favor ofspeculate aboutinvestedwithstand up forin the form ofprepared forin the company ofin successionDid you have such an experience as when your high-school physical education (P.E.) teacher pushed you to run for several miles around the sports field in a P.E. class? When you were sweating and out of breath, did you ever wish that you could only stop taking a P.E. class in college? However, taking P.E. courses can be advantageous to all college students.First, taking P.E. classes helps students learn valuable communication and teamwork skills. There are many activities that require students to communicate and interact with each other when they are having a P.E. class. For example, when one group competes with the other in playing basketball,group cooperation is extremely important in order to win. Effective teamwork usually requires good communication skills.Another advantage is that taking P .E. classes enables students to moreeffectively handle their heavy coursework. Not infrequently, students sleep in class and miss important information. Not concentrating in class may be caused by insufficient sleep and no exercise. Through taking P .E. courses, students build up their health. Only when students stay healthy can they sleep better and learn better.To sum up, taking a P .E. course at college can benefit students in developing useful social skills as well as better coping skills for their stress at school. Therefore, P .E. courses bring students advantages both physically and academically.慕课是一种网络课程，它旨在通过网络实现广泛参与和开放接入。

An impressive English lesson一堂难忘的英语课1如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长，那么我儿子也许是对的。

对他而言，我是一个乏味的怪物：一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲，一个还沉湎于语法规则的人，对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。

2 I think I got serious about this only recently when I ran into one of my former students, fresh from an excursion to Europe. "How was it?" I asked, full of earnest anticipation.我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时，才开始对这个问题认真起来的。

这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。

我满怀着诚挚期待问她：“欧洲之行如何？”3 She nodded three or four times, searched the heavens for the right words, and then exclaimed, "It was, like, whoa!"她点了三四下头，绞尽脑汁，苦苦寻找恰当的词语，然后惊呼：“真是，哇！”4没了。

所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中！我的学生以“哇！”来表示她的惊叹，我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。

5关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题，有许多不同的故事。

学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their/there/they’re之间的不同，或区别complimentary跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。

由于这些知识缺陷，他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责，因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。

6学生并不笨，他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。

举例来说，杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary（静止处），虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery (文具用品) 并没有被钉在那儿。

UNIT1 TEXT A我的父亲温斯顿·丘吉尔是在40几岁开始迷恋上绘画的，当时他正身处逆境。

1915年，作为海军大臣，他深深地卷入了达达尼尔海峡的一场战役。

原本那次战役是能够缩短一场血腥的世界大战的，但它却失败了，人员伤亡惨重，为此丘吉尔作为公务员和个人都付出了代价：他被免去了海军部的职务，失去了显赫的政治地位。

“我本以为他会因忧伤而死的。

”他的妻子克莱门泰因说。

被这一不幸压垮的他同家人一起退隐到萨里郡的一个乡间居处---耘锄农场。

在那儿，正如丘吉尔日后所回忆的，“绘画女神拯救了我!”一天他正在花园里漫步，正巧碰上他的弟妹在用水彩画素描。

他观看了她几分钟，然后借过她的画笔，试了一下身手----于是缪斯女神施展了她的魔法。

自那天以后，温斯顿便爱上了绘画。

任何能让沉浸在忧思中的温斯顿分心的事情都让克莱门泰因高兴。

于是，她赶紧去买来她所能找到的各种颜料和画具。

水彩颜料、油画颜料、纸张、帆布画布---很快耘锄农场里便堆满了一个绘画者可能想要或需要的各样东西。

画油画最终成了温斯顿的一大爱好---但是最初几步却出奇地艰难。

他凝视着他的第一块空白画布，异乎寻常地紧张。

他日后回忆道：“我迟疑不决地选了一管蓝色颜料，然后小心翼翼地在雪白的底子上的画上蚕豆般大小的一笔。

就在这时，我听到车道上传来一辆汽车的声音，于是惊恐地丢下我的画笔。

当我看清是谁从汽车里走出来时，更是惊慌失措。

来者正是住在附近的著名画家约翰·莱佛利爵士的妻子。

“‘在画画呢!’她大声说道。

‘多么有趣。

可你还在等什么呢? 把画笔给我---大的那支。

’她猛地用笔蘸起颜料，还没等我缓过神来，她已经挥笔泼墨在惊恐不已的画布上画下了有力的几道蓝色。

谁都看得出画布无法回击。

我不再迟疑。

我抓起那支最大的画笔，迅猛异常地向我可怜的牺牲品扑了过去。

自那以后，我再也不曾害怕过画布。

”后来教丘吉尔画画的莱佛利曾经说起过他这位不同寻常的学生的艺术才能：“如果他当初选择的是绘画而不是政治，他定会成为一位驾驭画笔的大师。

For question 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.The Web------My Main Source ofInformation and EducationThe advance of the World Wide Web (Web) on the Internet has made it possible for people to enjoy a better life. We can safely say that the Internet has become part of most people’s daily life in developed countries. The Web gives us excellent sources of information, saves our time, money and it is extremely convenient.As a resource, the World Wide Web (Web) contains huge amounts of information. The Web is extensive, relatively easy to access, and provides virtually unlimited information. An excellent resource to gain knowledge, the Web is leading the “information revolution.” It has made a huge difference in the world, and will continue to do so. When you need current information and you need it now, there are few alternatives.Over the past 12 years I have been involved in technology research. Originally, I obtained software information from printed reference materials and then from CDs. The advent of the Web as a research tool has greatly expanded the availability of information while reducing the amount of time needed on each task.The majority of my time on the Web involves looking up technical computer information, which I use for teaching Microsoft application classes and providing technical advice at work. Outside of work, I really likefollowing all aspects of the financial world, and the Web has turned into a great resource for this hobby.I can’t imagine being without it. Although it takes time to examine through the great number of sources, I find that after years of use I can quickly analyze the search results to find the most appropriate site. The amount of information on the Web is staggering, so it is important to remember what it is you are searching for and not get sidetracked.The Web is a wonderful resource when you can judge that the information provided is accurate and true. Like any other resource, the Web has good and not so good information to share. Depending on what you are looking for, you have to judge for yourself how relevant the material is for you. It is important not to believe everything you read and to attempt to stay away from personal sites, and I try to know who is responsible for the site before treating the information as fact.The more you use the Web, the more comfortable you get, and the more likely you are to use it even more. The Web certainly helps save time and allows you to focus resources in doing research and seeking out useful information.Overall, the Web has given me the opportunity to be much more times effective at obtaining data. If I find material but do not have time to read it, I print it out and read it later or on the commuter train. In addition, as I find things of interest, it takes only a few seconds to share that information with my team members and other professional associates. This enhances my networking capability to be in touch with many people with the same interest looking at a particular subject.The Web provides an excellent way to find information fast. It enables users to find research as it is occurring, rather than waiting for it to be published. It also provides a highly collaborative environment in which it is quickand easy to exchange ideas with colleagues.Not long ago we used to go to the library every time we needed information and spent hours searching for the right sources. Today there is “library” in our house and it is available 24 hours a day. From my personal experience, I found that using information online is very helpful. While I am at home, I am still able to connect to the world and search for any educational materials I need. I am able to exchange thoughts, opinions and information with my classmates without leaving my house.The Web is not only a big information provider but also saves us money and time. People are predicting that education will be much cheaper in the future because of Internet access to information. The cost of land, buildings and wages for teachers are continuously increasing and that makes conventional education more expensive than online education. What’s more, regular courses (offline) depend heavily on books and othertraditional paper-base materials while online education posts lectures, notes, and assignments electronically and that saves thousands of dollars every year. There is also no need for the classroom itself because most programs online require participation in discussion and group project via e-mail.The Web provides convenient classes and courses because there are no physical restrictions as in conventional education like space and time limitations. First, in classroom based education there is a limitation on the number of students that are allowed in each class while Internet education is available to everyone because a classroom is not a problem there. Students don’t have to struggle in order to register for the classes they like. Besides, there is no time limitation so students can repeat exercises as many times as they need.Education will spread out more and more online and students will have more choices on how and when to take their courses and classes.They will easily be able to take the classes they want and repeat material on the Internet as many times as they need.The Web is an excellent way to acquire knowledge quickly and easily, visit company websites, e-mail any questions you might have, research topics, conduct surveys, participate in special interest discussions, and gather information for further analysis without having to be physically present.1. The Web is a good source which is quick,easy to access, and full of useful information.2. The author looks up computerinformation and frequently enjoys music and movies on the Web.3. Information on the Web is always easy tojudge.4. When the author is in a hurry he usuallyprints the information out and reads it later or on the commuter train.5. In the author’s opinion, onlin e educationis believed to be more successful than the traditional education.6. The author clearly believes the Web willput libraries out of business.7. On the Web the students have moreopportunities to choose the way and the time to take their courses and classes.8. In the author’s opinion, the Web is notonly a big ________, but also a time and money saver.9. The Web is a good source which isextensive, ________, and provides almost all useful information.10. Internet education is more convenientbecause there are fewer restrictions such as ________and ________.Part II Reading Comprehension (Reading in depth) (40 points) Section A （10 points）Direction: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. Choose one word for each blank fromthe following words in the blank. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. （Passage A 和Passage B 二者选作其一。

新视野大学英语2读写教程课文翻译目录UNIT 1 (1)UNIT 2 (2)UNIT 3 (4)UNIT 4 (8)UNIT 5 (11)UNIT 1Section A时间观念强的美国人美国人认为没有人能停止不前。

如果你不求进取，你就会落伍。

这种态度造就了一个投身于研究、实验和探索的民族。

时间是美国人注意节约的两个要素之一，另一要素是劳力。

人们一直说：“只有时间才能支配我们。

”人们似乎把时间当作一个差不多是实实在在的东西来对待。

我们安排时间、节约时间、浪费时间、挤抢时间、消磨时间、缩减时间、对时间的利用作出解释；我们还要因付出时间而收取费用。

时间是一种宝贵的资源，许多人都深感人生的短暂。

时光一去不复返。

我们应当让每一分钟都过得有意义。

外国人对美国的第一印象很可能是：每个人都匆匆忙忙──常常处于压力之下。

城里人看上去总是在匆匆地赶往他们要去的地方，在商店里他们焦躁不安地指望店员能马上来为他们服务，或者为了赶快买完东西，用肘来推搡他人。

白天吃饭时人们也都匆匆忙忙，这部分地反映出这个国家的生活节奏。

人们认为工作时间是宝贵的。

在公共用餐场所，人们都等着别人尽快吃完，以便他们也能及时用餐，你还会发现司机开车很鲁莽，人们推搡着在你身边过去。

你会怀念微笑、简短的交谈以及与陌生人的随意闲聊。

不要觉得这是针对你个人的，这是因为人们都非常珍惜时间，而且也不喜欢他人“浪费”时间到不恰当的地步。

许多刚到美国的人会怀念诸如商务拜访等场合开始时的寒暄。

他们也会怀念那种一边喝茶或喝咖啡一边进行的礼节性交流，这也许是他们自己国家的一种习俗。

他们也许还会怀念在饭店或咖啡馆里谈生意时的那种轻松悠闲的交谈。

一般说来，美国人是不会在如此轻松的环境里通过长时间的闲聊来评价他们的客人的，更不用说会在增进相互间信任的过程中带他们出去吃饭，或带他们去打高尔夫球。

既然我们通常是通过工作而不是社交来评估和了解他人，我们就开门见山地谈正事。

因此，时间老是在我们心中滴滴答答地响着。

Unit 1原文：English is known as a world language, regularly used by many nations whose English is not their first language. Like other languages, English has changed greatly. The history of the English language can be divided into three main periods: Old English, Middle English and Modern English. The English language started with the invasion of Britain by three Germanic tribes during the 5th century AD, and they contributed greatly to the formation of the English language. During the medieval and early modern periods, the influence of English spread throughout the British Isles, and from the early 17th century its influence began to be felt throughout the world. The processes of European exploration and colonization for several centuries led to significant change in English. Today, American English is particularly influential, due to the popularity of American cinema, television, music, trade and technology, including the Internet.翻译：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。

新视野大学英语(第二版)读写教程2翻译答案和作文答案第一单元Translation1. She wouldn't take a drink, much less could she stay for dinner.2. He thought I was lying to him,whereas I was telling the truth.3. How do you account for the fact that you have been late every day this week?4.The increase in their profits is due partly to their new market strategy.5.Such measures are likely to result in the improvement of work efficiency.6.We have already poured a lot of time and energy into the project, so we have to carry on. 写作General statement: Environmental protection has become a major concern for society. Specific details:●teachers and students discussenvironmental protection●city planners take environmentalproblems into consideration●factories reduce pollutionReason:●air and water pollution affects everyone●cities to survive●businesses to make a profit范文A larger and larger part of society is expressing its concern about environmental protection. Active in their concern, teachers and students hold specific meetings to discuss environmental protection. Also, city planners take environmental problems into serious consideration. And, though reducing pollution can be expensive, factories often take every possible measure to do their part. Many people are concerned and active because air and water pollution affects everyone and makes it difficult for cities to survive and businesses to make a profit.第二单元Translation1.Despite the fact that she is the only child in her family, she is never babied by her parents.2.Mike didn't come to the party last night, nor did he call me to give an explanation.3.The person sitting next to him did publish some novels, but he is by no means a great writer.4.He has no interest in football and is indifferent to who wins to loses.5.The manager needs an assistant that he can count on to take care of problems in his absence.6.This is the first time that he has made a speech in the presence of so large an audience.第三单元Translation1.You are never too experienced to learn new techniques.2.There remains one problem,namely,who should be sent to head the research there.3.Their relationship did meet with some difficulty at the beginning because of cultural differences.4.Though he has had ups and downs,I believed all along that he would succeed someday.5.I have some reservations about the truth of your claim.6.She isn't particularly tall,but her slim figure gives an illusion of height.写作Topic: Failure not necessarily badCorrection of one idea:●common idea: Failure hurts people.●Failure has a positive contribution to ourlife.Another idea:●Failure can be beneficial to us.范文Many people place so much emphasis on success that they think any failure is b ad. Failure is never pleasant because it hurts people. But in fact it can make a positive contribution to our life once we learn how to make the best of it. We can learn from a disastrous party how to give a good one. And we can learn from an ill-chosen first house what to look for in a second. Even a total failure can give us fresh ideas or a change of direction. Repeated failures lead to success and prove to be beneficial to us as we experiment every day to find out the right way of doing things.第四单元Translation1.It is a great pleasure to meet friends from afar.2.It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white as long as it catches mice.3.You must let me have the money back without fail by ten o'clock tomorrow morning.4.Allow me to take part in this project: I am more than a little interested in it.5.Everyone knows that he is special:He is free to come and go as he pleases.6.Watching the unhappy look on her face,I felt as though she wishes to say something to me.写作Point of view: Parents have to save a large amount of money for their children to study abroad.Reasons:pay for the international flight, food, shelter, entertainment, long-distance telephone calls, clothing, and unexpected expenses范文Parents have to save a large amount of money for their children to study abroad. Apart from the international flight, they have to pay for their daily expenses, such as food, shelter, entertainment, long-distance telephone calls, and clothing. In addition, the children should have some money ready to cover unexpected expenses.第五单元Translation1.He spoke confidently,which impressed me most.2.My father is so forgetful that he is always looking for his keys.3.I'm very grateful to you for all the help you have given me.4.The bad light,coupled with the wet ground,made driving very difficult.5.Being starved of funds,they had to cancel their plan to start a business.6.They always lean on us whenever they are in trouble.写作Topic: Problems for mixed marriagesCause:●cultural differences●prejudices and doubts●cruel to children from mixed marriagesEffect:●higher divorce rates范文There are many problems for mixed marriages. The number one reason is the cultural differences between the mixed couple, like those in customs and lifestyle.Many people have prejudice against mixed marriages. They often feel shocked to see people of different races get married and have doubts about suchmarriages. What’s more, children from mixed marriages tend to be looked down upon or even badly treated by their peers. Mixed marriages face many trials, and as a result, mixed couples have higher divorce rates than couples of the same race.第六单元Translation1. (Just) as a machine needs regular running, so does the body need regular exercise.2. He learned to play the piano while studying in the United States.3.
