全新版大学英语综合教程2学生用书课后习题答案全新版大学英语第二版综合教程2答案Unit1 Ways of LearningContent Question1. They were studying arts education in Chinese kindergartens and elementary schools in Nanjing.2. Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying to place the key into the slot of the key box during their stay at the Jinling Hotel.3. They would come over to watch Benjamin and then try to teach him how to do it properly.4. Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasks in China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.5. Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel.6. He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that on can solve a problem effectively by oneself.7. He means that this incident pointed to important differences in educational and artistic practices between China and the USA.8. The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guiding his hand in the characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided.9. One example is of children at the age of 5 or 6 painting flowers, fish and animals skillfully and confidently; in a secondexample, calligraphers 9 and 10 years old were producing works; and in a third,young artists work on perfecting their craft for several hoursa day.10. Americans think that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge, and skills can be picked up later. Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.11. This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking.12. The author makes the suggestion that we should strike a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills.Text OrganizationWorking On Your Own1.1) The text begins with an anecdote.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form ofa question.2. Chinese1) Show a child how to do something, or tech by holding the hand2) Give greater priority to developing skills at an early age, believing that creativity can be promoted over timeAmericans1) Teach children that they should rely on themselves for solutions to problems2) Put more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children, thinking skills can be picked up laterUnit2 ValuesContent Question1. The Salvation Army is a religious charitableorganization. A Salvation Army bell ringer is a volunteer who help it collect donations.2. The boy asked him: Are you poor? He did it simply out of confusion and curiosity. Obviously he knew nothing about the Salvation Army bell ringer.3. He said, “I have more than some people, but not as mu ch as others.” This means that he was neither poor nor rich.4. The boy’s mother scolded h im because the question was social inappropriate, especially to a person who looked poor.5. Yes, economically he is poor. He lives in a small basemen t apartment. He doesn’t even have a color TV. He falls into the lowest income category. And so on.6. No, the writer does not feel poor. This is because he has enjoyed good health and creativity which he thinks are much more important than material goods.7. He feels out of place among people who are primarily interested in material things.8. She told him th at she was interested in what’s on the inside. but after he took her to his poorly furnished apartment, she changed her mind completely.9. It only shows that to her the most important thing was still material goods rather than what she had claimed before.10. Commercial can put people under pressure to purchase more than is really necessary.11. Because December is the time for to work for the Salvation Army as a bell ringer, which gives him a genuine sense of belonging and brings him happiness in helping others.12. The boy’s question has helped the writer realize that, despite his lack of expensive possessions, he is rich in many other ways and shouldbe thankful for that.Text OrganizationWorking On Your Own1.1) a.√2) the essay is meant to explain something that is, the author’s view of life.3) That one can live a life full of riches without being rich financially.2.Part One: The writer’s encounter with a boy who raised the question “are you poor?”Part Two: In search of an answer the writer finds that not having expensive possessions doesn’t make him feel poor mainly because he enjoys life in many other ways.Part Three: In conclusion, the writer thinks he’s grown to understand more about himself because of the boy’s question.Unit3 The Generation GapContent Question1. There are seven characters---Father, Mother, Heidi, Diane, Sean, Restaurant Manager, and Mrs. Higgins.2. No. Because what he does usually ends up embarrassing them.3. To buy a guitar.4. To check if Sean was going to embarrass him.5. He knew his father was going to embarrass him.6. It was unnecessary and embarrassing.7. He wanted Dan to pressure his son into asking Diane to the senior prom.8. He would speak to his son and insist that the latter give Diane a call.9. She felt humiliated.10. Because the Thompson had just moved.11. He tried to let her know how exceptionally talented a young woman Heidi was.12. Because she couldn’t bear being embarrassed by her father. Text OrganizationWorking On Your Own1.1. A fast-food restaurant2. The Thompson family dining room3. An office at a high school2.Scene One: Father embarrassed Sean by talking too proudly to the restaurant manager.Scene Two: Father embarrassed Diane by persuading a colleague into pressing his son to ask her to the senior prom.Scene Three: Father embarrassed Heidi by boating to an official at her new school about how talented she was.Unit4 The Virtual WorldContent Question1. She used to be a television producer, but now she is a writer.2. She writes and edits articles online, submits them via email, and communicates with colleagues via the Internet, too.3. She could stay computer-assisted at home for weeks, going out only t get mail, newspapers and groceries.4. They feel as if they had become one with the computer,and life seems to be unreal.5. That people who grew used to a virtual life would feel an aversion to outside forms of socializing.6. She gets overexcited, speaks too much, and interrupts others.7. She is bad-tempered, easily angered, and attacks everyone in sight, all because she has long become separated from others and lacks emotional face-to-face exchanges with people.8. She fights her boyfriend, misinterpreting his intentions because of the lack of emotional cues given by their typed dialogue.9. Because we rely on co-works for company.10.

全新版大学英语综合教程2第二版课后习题答案Unit 1Key to ExercisesPart I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nave a code that you can live by.And so, become yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lather's hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks,the one you'll mow by.Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So justlook at them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I - 93 -And you, oi tender years,Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks,tbe one you'll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, Sojust look at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, "a code diat you can live by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and "become yourself." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children — "you of tender years" — also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children should share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such moments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.Part II Text AText Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2)His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3)He winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of a question.Points for Comparison/Contrast Chinese Americans1) ways to learn to accomplish a task show a child how to dosomething, or teach byholding his handteach children that theyshould rely onthemselves for solutionsto problems2) attitudes to creativity and skills give greater priority todeveloping skills at anearly age, believingcreativity can bepromoted over timeput more emphasis onfostering creativity inyoung children, thinkingskills can be picked uplater1.

She has just announced that strict work regulations have been madeand that they apply to both Chinese and overseas teachers.3)The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching artrepresent two extremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activitiescannot be expected to effectively assist children in learning because of therigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities maysee a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of control. There arevalid reasons to believe a teacher-guided approach would be a superior way toguide children's development. This approach combines some form ofstructure with the child leading the direction.II.

Translate the passageThough how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.。

But such messages bear a false pr omise, because recent psychological research has not only m ade clear that money can’t buy happiness, but has begun to show that when people org anize their lives around the pursuit of wealth, their happines s can actually decrease.Research on how happiness relates to material wealth by psy chologists clearly indicates that people are happier if they liv e in wealthy rather than poor nations. However, once individ uals have enough money to pay for their basic needs of food, shelter, etc., money does relatively little to improve happines s. Further, increases in either national economic growth or personal income have much effect on changes in the persona l happiness of citizens.Psychological research goes further than this, however, by sh owing that people who “buy into” the message of consumerculture report lower personal well-being. Individuals who sa y that goals for money, image, and popularity are relatively i mportant to them also report less satisfaction in life, fewer e xperiences of pleasant emotions, and more depression and a nxiety.In addition to these problems with personal happiness, resea rch suggests that pursuit of material wealth also hurt social r elationships and promote ecologically destructive behavior.66.When their children reach their teens,parents usually expect_________.A.trouble B.sympathy C.congratulations D.inspiring comments67.In the author’s opinion,the trouble with parents is that________.A.they are too watchful of their teenage childrenB.they are too concerned about their children’s futureC.they fail to treat teenagers with enough kindness and respectD.they speak ill of their children within their hearing68.When two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her first thought was that__________.A.they were wrong to have chosen this restaurant for dinnerB.something interesting was going to happen over dinnerC.her quiet dinner with her husband would be ruinedD.she and her husband were going to have a pleasant surprise69.What does the author think of the two teenage boys?A.They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle.B.They are typical of teenagers who wear ill-fitting clothes and dye their hair.C.They’re fine young men despite their loose jeans and multi-colored hair.D.They will respect you if you respect them.70.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.There is nothing wrong with teenagers admiring pop singers and sports starts.B.If our children admire pop singers and sports starts,it is the parents who are to blame.C.Pop singers and sports stars should not be heroes of our children.D.Parents should set a good example for their children to follow.In the United States,a person can take credit onlyWhat dose the author mean by saying ---------Americans no longer respectWhat dose the author think of-------------------It make’s it comparatively easy forAmericans teaching in third word --------------competition is a unque American(or Western)We can infer frome the passage that free--------an economic system allowing free competitonAmericans would most likely --------------------complain that you were born poor and had had5-8It takes 17 percent of the fossil fuelAccountTravelsDebateLocallyReduceTransportConsequencesOccasionalDietAgricultural选择Judging from the context---------------the game stops for a short timeWhy did the master insist --------------because all he cared aboutWhat caused the defeat of --------------Over-confidenceWhy did the master only teach---------his opponent would be helpsWhat dose the story show---------------one can turn a weakness into选择2What is Cindy’s chief -----------Developing small carsWhen will a company renew ---------when is shells well and bringsWhat dose cindy mean by----------meet the demandsWhat is cindy’s secret of -----------Hard workWhich of the following ------------she always makes sure to attand the。

Passage One Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage: One sunny Sunday in Chicago, several former classmates, who were good friends in school, gathered for lunch, having attended their high school reunion the night before. They wanted to hear more about what was happening in one’s lives. After a good deal of kidding, and a good meal, they settled into an interesting conversation. Angela, who had been one of the most popular people in the class, said, ―Life sure turned out differently than I thought it would when we were in school. A lot has changed.‖ ―It certainly has,‖ Nathan echoed. They knew he had gone into his family’s business, which had operated pretty much the same in the local community for as long as they could remember. So they were surprised when he seemed concerned. He asked, ―But, have you notice how we don’t want to change when things change?‖ Carlos said, ―I guess we resist changing because we’re afraid of change.‖ ―Carlos, you were Captain of the football learn,‖ Jessica said. ―1 never thought I’d hear you say anything about being afraid!‖ They all laughed as they realized that although they had gone off in different directions-from working at home to managing companies—they were experiencing similar feelings. Everyone was trying to cope with the unexpected changes that had been happening them in recent years. And most admitted that they did not know a good way to ham them. Then Michael said, ―I used to be afraid of change. When a big change came along our business, we didn’t know what to do. So we didn’t do anything differently and we most lost ii.‖ ―That is,‖ he continued, ―until I heard a funny little story that changed everything.‖ ―How so?‖ Nathan asked. ―Well, the story changed the way I looked at change—from losing something to gaining something and it showed me how to do it. After that, things quickly improved at work and in my life.‖ added he, ―Then I realized I was really annoyed with myself for not seeing the obvious and doing what works when things change.‖ 1.

D) Michael. 4. ―A big change‖ in Paragraph 5 means ________, according to the passage. A) a chance to develop B) a large deal B) a different business D) an unexpected event 5.

Passage Two Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: ―You’re trying to control my life,‖ says my nine-year-old son. ―I don’t know why you think you can do that, but you can’t.‖ I received this bit of information after I asked Gabriele to put his dirty socks in the basket. And I get no sympathy from my mother, who says, ―You let him have his way from the beginning.‖ It’s true; I have always asked Gabriele’s opinion, found out how he felt about things— treated him as my peer, not my child. And what have I got from my troubles? A lot of back talk. At least I’m not alone; it’s a complaint heard among parents across the country. It’s not just that we’re confused by the contradictory advice offered in parenting books. The fact is, in an effort to break away from how we were raised—to try something more liberal than our parents’ ―do it because I say so‖ approach—our generation has gone too far. ―Today’s parents want to be young, so they try to be friends with their children,‖ says Kathy Lynn, a parenting educator. ―When it comes to discipline, our society has gone from one extreme to the other,‖ says Ron Moorish, a behavior specialist. ―We used to use the strap, to intimidate. Then we had permissiveness, and now it’s about giving children choices and allowing them to learn from their own experiences.‖ Real discipline, says Moorish, is about teaching. ―By correcting our children when they do something wrong, we teach them how to behave properly,‖ he says. But this only works, he emphasizes, if parents regain their position of authority. Children will always be children. The key is for parents to choose to take the time to guide and teach their kids. Rita Munday, a mother of four children, couldn’t believe the dramas that played out in the children’s shoe store she operated. She often saw children insist on having the high-priced, brand-name shoes. And even when the mother didn’t want to spend the money, she would give in when the kid started acting up and throwing shoes around. Rhonda Radice, Munday’s younger colleague, is one parent who has bucked the trend -and is proud of it. ―I don’t negotiate with them. You can’t. I’ve seen parents come into the store and bribe their children to behave. You shouldn’t have to buy love and respect.‖ 6. The author’s way of treating her son ________. A) is shared by many parents B) is encouraged by her mother
