新视野英语4复习题 Passage Passage 1 Anna arrived far too early、Usually she left things to the last mute, but today was a very special occasion、It was almost as if by getting there an hour beforehand she hoped to cause the plane to arrive sooner、Thoughts raced through her mind、"Do I look all right? Wi11 he notice that I' m wearing a new trouser suit? Will he even recognize me?" After all, it was a year almost to the day since she had last seen Joe、She fished a mirror out of her handbag and inspected hex face、Too much make-up? Joe had never made any ment but she knew that he did not approve of heavy make-up--" gilding the lily", he called it、 It was funny how much importance she attached to making a good impression on him、After all, friends do not judge each other by appearance、All the same, it was the first meeting after a long separation, and she wanted everything to go off right、Looking out of the window, Joe caught a first glimpse, through a break in the clouds, of the town far below、This was his third visit, and looked like being an annual event、Certainly it was very flattering that they had invited him to be the guest lecturer at their Autumn Congress yet again、The Chairman of the Organizing mittee, as a matter of courtesy, had offered to meet him at the airport, as he had done on previous occasions、This time, however, it was not necessary, partly because Joe was quite familiar with the city, but mainly because Anna had said that she could take the afternoon off in order to e and meet him、 1、Anna looked in her mirror because __________、 A) she wanted to check that her make-up was alright B) in case she had too much make-up on C) she knew that Joe disapproved of heavy make-up D) she wanted to make a good impression on Joe 2、Anna thought that Joe might not recognize her because A) she was wearing a new suit、 B) he had not seen her for about a year、 C) He might expect someone else to meet him、 D) She had changed a lot in the past year、 3、When did Anna get to the airport? A) About an hour earlier、B) Just before the plane was due to land、 C) At the last possible minute、D) Shortly after the plane had arrived、 4、How many times had Joe been to this town? A) Several times before、B) Three times before、 C) Twice before、D) Four times before、 5、Joe did not want the Chairman to meet him because ________、 A) the Chairman was not willing to meet him B) he was not sure which day he would travel C) he could not find his own way to the city center D) he thought that Anna would be there to meet him Passage 2 One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one's mistakes、It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like "I was wrong about that," and it is even harder to say, "I was wrong, and you were right about that、" I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago、He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons、Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing、 I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping、On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place、 There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons、The cartons were stacked three or four feet high、I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks、Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons、For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work、 The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened、When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit、He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken egg、I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good、Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not、 1、How old was the author when he wrote this article?

新视野大学英语第一册课文翻译 Unit 1 1学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。虽然时常遭遇挫折，但却非常有价值。 2我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课。老师很慈祥耐心，时常表扬学生。由于这种积极的教学方法，我踊跃回答各种问题，从不怕答错。两年中，我的成绩一直名列前茅。 3到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语。然而，高中时的经历与以前大不相同。以前，老师对所有的学生都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生。每当有谁回答错了，她就会用长教鞭指着我们，上下挥舞大喊：“错！错！错！”没有多久，我便不再渴望回答问题了。我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣，而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字。 4好在这种情况没持续多久。到了大学，我了解到所有学生必须上英语课。与高中老师不同，大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼，而且从来不带教鞭！不过情况却远不尽如人意。由于班大，每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几。上了几周课后，我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多。我开始产生一种畏惧感。虽然原因与高中时不同，但我却又一次不敢开口了。看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。 5直到几年后我有机会参加远程英语课程，情况才有所改善。这种课程的媒介是一台电脑、一条电话线和一个调制解调器。我很快配齐了必要的设备并跟一个朋友学会了电脑操作技术，于是我每周用5到7天在网上的虚拟课堂里学习英语。 6网上学习并不比普通的课堂学习容易。它需要花许多的时间，需要学习者专心自律，以跟上课程进度。我尽力达到课程的最低要求，并按时完成作业。 7我随时随地都在学习。不管去哪里，我都随身携带一本袖珍字典和笔记本，笔记本上记着我遇到的生词。我学习中出过许多错，有时是令人尴尬的错误。有时我会因挫折而哭泣，有时甚至想放弃。但我从未因别的同学英语说得比我快而感到畏惧，因为在电脑屏幕上作出回答之前，我可以根据自己的需要花时间去琢磨自己的想法。突然有一天我发现自己什么都懂了，更重要的是，我说起英语来灵活自如。尽管我还是常常出错，还有很多东西要学，但我已尝到了刻苦学习的甜头。 8学习外语对我来说是非常艰辛的经历，但它又无比珍贵。它不仅使我懂得了艰苦努力的意义，而且让我了解了不同的文化，让我以一种全新的思维去看待事物。学习一门外语最令人兴奋的收获是我能与更多的人交流。与人交谈是我最喜欢的一项活动，新的语言使我能与陌生人交往，参与他们的谈话，并建立新的难以忘怀的友谊。由于我已能说英语，别人讲英语时我不再茫然不解了。我能够参与其中，并结交朋友。我能与人交流，并能够弥合我所说的语言和所处的文化与他们的语言和文化之间的鸿沟。 Unit 3 1在我还未成年时，如果有人看到我和父亲在一块儿，我就会觉得难堪。他腿瘸得很厉害，个子又矮。我们一起走路时，他的手搭在我臂上以保持平衡，人们就会盯着看。对于这种讨厌的注视，我打心眼里感到别扭。即使父亲注意到这些或感到不安，他也从不表露出来。 2我们的步伐难以协调一致——他常常停下脚步，而我的步子却显得不耐烦。正因为如此，我们一路很少说话。但每次出门时，他总说：“你按你的步速走，我跟着你。” 3我们通常就在地铁口和家门口之间来回，那是他上班的路线。他生病或天气恶劣时也坚持上班，几乎从不缺勤。他总是准点到办公室，即使别人做不到。这是件可以引以为荣的事。4当路上覆盖冰雪时，即使有人搀扶，他也难以行走。这种时候，我或者我的姐妹们就用一辆带有钢轮的儿童推车拉着他穿过纽约布鲁克林的街道到地铁站口。一到那儿，他就紧抓着地铁口的扶手一直往下走，因为地铁内比较暖和，下面几级台阶没有冰雪。曼哈顿的地铁站直通他们办公楼的地下室，他不用出站（就可到办公室）。下班回家时，我们会去布鲁克林
Bank Close Unit 3 At first, my dad was not in favor of me marrying Will because Will is black. I gues s my dad was a bit of a racist. Unfortunately, no arguments could counter dad's beliefs . Despite his protests , though, Will and I decided to go through with our wedding. On a marvelous June day we were married in the park. The wedding went off without any host ile words or embarrassing exchanges. It was actually quite beautiful. There was just on e problem. Many of our friends and relatives didn't attend our wedding. I had to conclu de that my dad was not the only prejudiced person we knew. Other than my father, no one had come out to speak against my relationship with Will. It did not seem appropriate f or them to show their resistance to our marriage in this way. My dad had strong reserva tions about my marriage to Will, but at least he was there. Will and I decided to overc ome this burden by showing everyone how wrong they were. We wanted not only to love one another, but also to defy racial hatred by loving one another. We probably weren't bei ng all that realistic, but we did succeed with one person. My dad and Will have develop ed an amazing friendship. My dad says he has forgotten why he ever had any doubts about our marriag Unit 4 What do we know about love? Is it, as some people would suggest, a mysterious force? Or can it be explained and possibly even created? Well, even in this scientific and reason-driven age, love seems still to defy total understanding. We can, however, know something about love and make stronger connections between individuals. One thing that seems to affect love is distance. The common idea is that the love between people grows as they are separated. Sometimes it is true that longing for someone who has gone overseas becomes more intense. Something that nourishes love is danger. Send both lovers to dangerous places and they will end up loving each other more. This could be caused by the worry it develops. It could also be that feelings of uncertainty or need transform into love with time. Love gives us warmth, courage, and a feeling of being safe, but it also demands selfless devotion and sacrifice. If you are truly committed to finding true love, you should make yourself more interesting. Do things that you enjoy and try to meet people who share identical interests. Unit 5 My son has started to hang out with the wrong type of boys. He is fifteen years old and until recently I had always been grateful for how easy he has been to raise. Lately, though, he has ceased to listen to what I say. He used to be such a sweet boy, but being in high school seems to have hardened him against authority figures. The change in his attitude has been very noticeable even to his teachers. The other day I asked him to come straight home after school, but instead he rebelled and stayed out until ten o'clock. Later I found out that he had skipped school completely that day. I found out that he was with a(n) bunch of boys who often cause trouble. I decided to forbid him to do anything with those boys, but he didn't listen to me. In spite of my objections to him being with those boys, he was with them the very next day.A friend of mine has a son who is having identical problems. She decided
