Unit 1 Life is a learning curve
Listening to the world Scripts
H = Hina; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; M1 = Man 1, etc.
Part 1
H: I have a full-time job but I like learning new things in my spare time. At the moment, I’m
studying Spanish. I’m enjoying it but I’m finding it quite difficult. Today we’re asking people about learning new things.
Part 2
W1: I’m learning to speak another language, actually. I’m learning French. I’m also learning, er,
to drive.
W2: I’m learning to play golf at the moment. Um, my husband and my son play golf, and when
we go on holiday, I feel that I want to be able to play with them.
W3: I’m learning to speak Spanish.
W4: I am learning Arabic.
M1: Well, I’ve been learning to play the guitar for about 50 years now. And it’s a constant process,
so still learning bits, yes.
W5: I’m learning yoga at the moment, and I’m finding it quite hard.
M2: The courses I’m taking are, are training courses for leadership, er, negotiation, (and)
evaluation.
M3: I’m learning Swahili.
W6: At the moment, I’m le arning to paint and draw in evening classes for adults.
W7: I’m studying part-time after work.
M4: I’ve er, just learned how to er, do a lot of kayaking.
W8: I am learning how to design a website at the moment.
W9: I’m in a choir so singing, I guess, is pretty much the only thing I’m doing at the moment. M5: At the moment, I’m taking up a new instrument. It’s a traditional instrument from Zimbabwe,
and it’s called the mbira. Er, let me show you.
Part 3
H: What’s the most difficult thing you’ve ever learned?
M5: Patience, I think.
W4: Arabic.
M2: Courage.
W3: Learning a language is particularly difficult for myself (me), so probably learning the
Spanish.
W6: The most difficult thing I have ever learned is Mandarin Chinese. I did it in evening classes a
few years ago and I found it really, really difficult.
W5: Probably capoeira, which is a Brazilian dance, martial art, fight thing. It’s a combination of
all of these things. And yes, that was very difficult because there were lots of unusual body
movements to learn.
W1: Learning to drive was the most difficult thing.
M3: Well, I learned some Sanskrit, and that’s got um, nine cases, two more than Latin. It’s quite
difficult by most standards.
M4: I think I found French very hard at school.
W2: Um, I learned to play the trumpet at school. That was pretty difficult. Er ... and maybe
learning to drive. I hated learning to drive.
Scripts
P = presenter; S = Sally
P: Hi. You’re listening to Ask the Expert and in today’s program we’re talking about languages
and how to learn a language. Our expert today is Sally Parker, who is a teacher. Hi Sally. S: Hello.
P: Sally, our first question today is from Andy. He says, “I’ve just started learning English. My
problem is that I’m too frightened to speak. My grammar is not very good, so I’m worried about saying the wrong thing.” Have you got any advice for Andy?
S: OK. Well, the first thing is I think Andy should practice speaking to himself.
P: Speaking to himself? I’m not sure that’s a good idea.
S: I know it sounds silly, but talking to yourself in a foreign language is a really good way to
practice. You don’t have to feel embarrassed, because nobody can hear you. You can talk to yourself about anything you like –what you had for breakfast, where you’re going for the weekend – anything. And the more you do it, the more you will get used to hearing your own voice and your pronunciation, so you won’t feel so frightened in the classroom. Andy should try it.
P: Hm, I suppose so. Anything else? What about his grammar?
S: H e has only just started learning English, so he is going to make lots of mistakes, but that’s not
a problem. That’s how he’ll learn. Andy shouldn’t worry about making mistakes.
P: You’re right. So Andy, try talking to yourself, and don’t worry about making mistakes. Our
next problem comes from Olivia in Brazil. She is worried about pronunciation. She says, “The problem is I can’t understand native speakers. They speak so fast and I can’t understand their pronunciation.” So Sally, any ideas for Olivia?
S: Well, fi rst of all it’s a good idea for her to practice her listening skills. She should listen to
English as much as possible to get used to how it sounds. Listen to the news, listen to podcasts, (and) watch English television.
P: OK –that’s a good idea.
S: And another thing she should do is to focus on listening and reading at the same time. If you
listen to something on the Internet, you can often read the transcript. If you listen and read at the same time, it’ll help you see what the words sound like and how the words sound when a native speaker is talking.
P: Great. Thank you, Sally. Well, huh, I’m afraid that’s all we have time for today, but next week
we’ll be …

N = Narrator; I = Ian Deary; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; M1 = Man 1, etc.
N: Recent research into the history of IQ tests in Scotland suggests your IQ score might predict,
to an extent at least, your health and even your life expectancy.
W1: You have 45 minutes to do the test, OK?
M1: OK.
N: Bill and Davina are 79 years old. This is the second time t hey’ve done this test. The first time
was in 1932, when every 11-year-old in Scotland was put through an intelligence test. It’s the only time this kind of mass testing has ever been done in the UK. The results were rediscovered recently in an Edinburgh basement. If you want to know how our intelligence changes as we get older, these results are a potential goldmine.
I: We brought hundreds of people back and we got them to sit the exact same test that they had
sat when they were aged 11. Now, these people are now 79 or 80 years old. We gave the same instructions. We gave the same test. And we gave the same time limit.
M2: It was a little stickier than I thought it would be.
M3: I walked through it quite happily, quite honestly.
W2: I felt I must have been very bright at 11 if I sat that exam and passed.
N: There were some intriguing results. Almost everyone had a better score at 80 than they did at
11. But some had gone from being just averagely intelligent to a much higher level.
I: Now, that’s what really drives our research. We’re interested in: Why have those people
who’ve gone (people gone) from IQ 100, at age 11, up to 110 or 120? What have they done right? What can be the recipe for successful aging? We’re finding that the person with more education, even though they had the same IQ in childhood, is doing slightly better in old age, on average. The person who had a more professional job, in old age, is doing slightly better on average than the person who had a manual job, despite the fact that they started at the same level. The people who smoked have got slightly less good mental ability than you would expect.
N: What’s even more remarkable is that the kids who had higher IQ scores at 11 are the very
ones still alive today. So it seems high IQ in childhood is good for survival.
Speaking for communication Scripts
A: Ah, OK, so we need to think of the best ideas for taking tests.
B: Yep.
A: Er, well, how about this one? It’s a good idea to study with friends at the same time each day. B: Mm, in my opinion, this is a really good idea. You can make it a regular part of your daily life. A: You mean like having breakfast at the same time, lunch at the same time, studying at the same
time.
B: Yes. And also I think it helps when you study with friends.
A: Y eah, I, I think it’s more motivating.
U4 A Heroes among us 我们身边的英雄 Who's a hero these days?In an era of heightened heroism, the word hero has become more common.We use hero to describe both victims and survivors of all kinds of difficulties and tragedies.Who are the heroes among us? 谁是当今的英雄？在一个英雄主义发扬光大的时代，“英雄”一词已经变得更加常见。我们把各种困难和悲剧的受害者和幸存者都称为“英雄”。那么，我们身边哪些人是英雄呢？In the days subsequent to a mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona, many described20-year-old political associate Daniel Hernandez as a hero.During the horrible shooting, he courageously ran through the danger to save the life of one of the victims,his boss and friend,congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Daniel held her head up so she could breathe and applied pressure to her wounds.He spoke tender words of sympathy, telling her that he would find her

新视野大学英语（第三版）第二册读写教程课后答案 新视野大学英语（第三版）第二册读写教程课后答案Unit 1 Language in mission Text A An impressive English lesson Ex.1 Understanding the text 1、Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules. 2、The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture are so marvelous and remarkable that they should be described at least in a brief account; however, what the student could do was only one single utterance :“whoa!” without any any specific comment. 3、Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency. They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary. And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language. 4、Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with. 5、He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs. 6、Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before. 7、The author uses “road map”and “car”to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary. 8、Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, tho ugh in two different situations and with two different feelings.

新视野Book3 汉译英翻译 Unit 1 Translate the following paragraph into English 如今，很多年轻人不再选择“稳定”的工作，他们更愿意自主创业，依靠自己的智慧和奋斗去实现自我价值。青年创业(young entrepreneurship)是未来国家经济活力的来源，创业者的成功不但会创造财富、增加就业机会、改善大家的生活，从长远来看，对于国家更是一件好事，创业者正式让中国经济升级换代的力量。尤其是在当前，国家鼓励大众创业、万众创新，在政策上给予中小企业支持，这更加激发了年轻人的创业热情。 Nowadays, many young people no longer choose“stable” jobs. Instead, they prefer to start their own businesses and realize their self-value through their own wisdom and efforts. Young entrepreneurship is the source of national economic vitality in the future. The success of entrepreneurs not only creates fortune, increases job opportunities, improves people’s life, but it is also good for the country in the long term. Entrepreneurs are a driving force in upgrading China’s economy. Especially for the time being, our country is encouraging people to start their own businesses and make innovations and giving policy support for medium and small businesses. This further arouses young people’s enthusiasm to start their own businesses. Unit 2 Translate the following paragraph into English 实现中华民族伟大复兴（rejuvenation)是近代以来中国人民最伟大的梦想，我称之为“中国梦”，其基本内涵是实现国家富强、民族振兴、人民幸福。中国梦，是让每一个积极进取的中国人形成世世代代的信念：只要经过不懈的奋斗便能获得更好的生活。人们必须通过自己的勤奋、勇气、创意和决心迈向繁荣，而不是依赖于社会和他人的援助。每个中国人都是中国梦的参与者和创造者。中国梦是民族的梦，也是每个中国人的梦。 Realizing the great national rejuvenation, which we define as the Chinese Dream, has been the greatest Chinese expectation since modern times. It basically means achieving prosperity for the country, renewal of the nation and happiness for the people, thus ensuring that every enterprising Chinese carries, generation after generation, the firm conviction that a better life is accomplished through persistent effort. People should achieve their prosperity through diligence, courage, creativity and determination instead of aid from society or other people. Each individual is a participant and a designer in the cause of realizing the Chinese Dream, for it is a dream not only for the entire nation but also for every Chinese. Unit 3 Translate the following paragraph into English 水墨画（ink and wash painting）是中国独具特色的传统艺术形式之一，是中国国画的代表。它大约始于唐代，兴盛于宋代和元代，距今已有一千多年的历史，其间经历了不断的发展、提高和完善。水墨画的创作工具和材料是具有浓厚中国特色的毛笔、宣纸和墨，其作品特点也与此紧密相关。例如，水和墨相互调和，使作品具有干湿浓淡的层次。水墨和宣纸的交融渗透也使画作善于表现丰富的意向，从而达到独特的审美效果。水墨画在中国绘画史上具有很高的地位，甚至被认为是衡量东方绘画艺术水平的标准。 Ink and wash painting, one of the unique traditional art forms of China, is representative of Chinese painting. It began around the time of the Tang Dynasty, and then prospered in the Song and Yuan dynasties. With a history of over one thousand years, it has experienced constant development, improvement and perfection. The tools and materials used to create ink and wash painting, i.e. brushes, rice paper, and ink, are characteristic of Chinese culture and closely related to the features of the paintings. For example, the mixing of water and ink creates different shades of dryness, wetness, thickness and thinness. The integration and infiltration of water, ink, and rice paper enables such paintings to convey rich images, and hence to achieve unique aesthetic effects.
