新视野大学英语读写教程第3册课后习题答案-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1Unit 8Unit 9Section A. Premarital Agreements《读写教程Ⅲ》: Ex. II, p. 2491. First, a future husband wanted to be sure that he could keep histreasured ice-cream collection if his marriage failed. Second, a womanwanted to make clear who would walk the dog. Third, one man wanted to be entitled to a divorce if his future wife gained more than 15 pounds onceshe married him.2. A prenuptial agreement, or prenup, negotiated by lawyers and signedbefore a marriage, is mainly designed to deal with financial problems when divorce is insisted on by one party.3.

Third, there can be a dispute over premarital accords if a couple decides to divorce while living abroad, or when they havedifferent passports.6. Prenuptial agreements are almost ignored by British courts becauseEnglish law says that circumstances of a marriage aren’t static, andtherefore a judge should decide how financial assets will be divided.7. For one thing, divorce rate in the US is very high, which is often accompanied by money problems. For another, laying bare all one’s finances can sometimes save a couple from a terrible marriage.8.

Get familiar with the main content of this unit2. To arouse their interest in the text and in English poems, write the following poem by Robert Burns on the blackboard.A Red, Red RoseO, my luve’s like a red red rose.That’s newly sprung in June;O, my luve’s like a the melodieThat’s sweetly played in tune.As fair art thou, my bonnie lass.So deep in love am I;And I will luve thee still, my dear.And the rocks melt wi’ the sun:I will luve thee still, my dear,While the sands o’ life shall run.And fare thee weel, my only luve!And fare thee weel a while!And I will come again, my luve,Though it were ten thousand mile.Notes: Robert Burns, Scottish, died at 37, Burn’s Night Jan,25)3. Origin and customs of Valentine’s Day:Valentine’s Day which falls on Feb.14, is a day for people in love to express their affection for each other in funny and merry waysOrigin: Most people believe that Valentine’s Day is related to a priest called Valentine. During his time in Rome, Emperor Claudius believed that a married man would prefer to stay at home rather than fight for him, so he ordered all men in his country not to get married or engaged, but Valentine, the priest, disobeyed his order and secretly marry the young couples. Later, he was arrested, put into prison and beheaded on Feb.14. In order to commemorate him who gave his own life for others’ happiness, people decided to make Feb. 14 Valentine’s Day, a day for people in love.Ask students to tell others the popular gifts for lovers.

(Part II and Part III are running parallel to each other as both of them are structured in a problem-solution pattern.

新视野大学英语读写教程第三版1第七单元A篇summary(英语课程)When Honesty DisappearsThe widespread reports of deception, lying and fraud in our society show that the value of honesty is disappearing. Dishonest stories involve people from all walks of life, such as consumers, politicians, travellers and students. We are concerned that student dishonesty is on the rise.If this is the case, we should be wary of a decline in the morals and principles of today's students--tomorrow's leaders. Their motivation for cheating is to get a college degree, or to fake a term paper, which makes them nervous and frustrated. In addition, some websites have been criticized for offering free or low-cost resources to students. In response to the growing problem of academic cheating, universities use anti-plagiarism software and have very strict rules to punish students who cheat or plagiarize.People believed that people were more honest in the past. Every society has stories that emphasize the absolute value of honesty. Dishonesty, whether discovered or not, has a bad effect on anyone engaged in such behavior. Equally important, the bad influence is not limited to dishonest people. Without trust, a well-ordered society would fall into chaos, and the enduring bonds of trust we have always known would cease to exist. We both lost awareness of the growing scourge of cheating and its negative impact on individuals and society, we must restore our sense of justice.。
词汇自学材料 新视野第三册第七单元Section A I. New words 1. hacker 中文所谓的“黑客”,似乎就是利用网络破坏计算机安全的人,someone who attempts to break into computer systems。在这一层意义上的hacker也被称为cracker。但实际上这并不是hacker的唯一含义。Hacker的另一层意思是热衷研究、撰写程序的专才,精通各种计算机语言和系统,且必须具备乐于追根究底、穷究问题的特质。所以在课文里,Bill Gates是a self-described "hacker"。显然,在他眼里,被称为“hacker”应该是一个programmer的荣誉了。你可以测试一下自己是否是一个hacker。 A hacker is someone who enjoys learning details of a programming language or system enjoys actually doing the programming rather than just theorizing about it is capable of appreciating someone else's hacking picks up programming quickly is an expert at a particular programming language or system, as in "UNIX hacker"
2. modernize 初中就学过的单词。请写出这个单词的形容词和名词形式。
3. classification 我们来看这个词是怎样组装起来的。class(n.)+ -(i)fy(动词后缀)+ -(i)cation(名词后缀)=classification。这里class的意思不是a group of students(班级),而是people or things grouped together, esp according to quality(种类,等级)。比如我们课本上的句子: Without a doubt, Bill Gates belongs in the same class as Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and other great minds who changed the world. 毫无疑问,比尔盖茨与托马斯.爱迪生、亚历山大.格雷厄姆.贝尔以及其他改变世界的伟人属于同一行列。再比如媒体总爱把两个80后——韩寒和郭敬明一起比较,So as a writer, is Guo Jingming in the same class as Han Han? What do you think? 再看动词classify。To classify means to place sb./sth. in a particular class,将人、事物归类。比如:Would you classify Harry Porter as serious literature or as mere entertainment?你认为《哈利波特》属于文学类呢,还是通俗读物类?
4. voltage volt,电压单位伏特,即V。用volt来作电压单位,是为了纪念意大利物理学家Alessandro Volta,他发明了voltaic pile,伏打堆,历史上第一个化学电池。The electricity in China is generally 220 volts, while in Britain is 240 volts. voltage,电压。low/high voltage,低/高压。high voltage还有一个引申义,即very exciting and full of energy,令人兴奋的。
5. brilliance 若追根溯源,这个词恐怕要追溯到beryl——绿宝石。形容词brilliant的第一个意思就是sparkling or shining (like a beryl),闪亮的,灿烂的,明亮的,(就像宝石一样)。比如: brilliant sunshine灿烂的阳光 brilliant stars闪亮的星星 a brilliant diamond耀眼的钻石 brilliant还可以指鲜艳、明亮的颜色。我的阳台上种了许多花,每个冬季天空阴霾时,它们总是盛放brilliant flowers,灿烂的花朵,让我心情大好。The brilliant flowers on my balcony never fail to cheer me up when I am blue. brilliant的第三个意思是extremely clever or skilled,极其聪明的、技艺精湛的、才华横溢的。这样的人会像宝石一样,在人群中脱颖而出。钢琴王子朗朗就被媒体称为brilliant Chinese pianist master,才华横溢的中国钢琴大师。巧的是,他的名字“朗朗”就是brilliant的意思。 a brilliant scientist一位卓越的科学家 a brilliant performance一场精彩的演出 a brilliant idea一个绝妙的主意 a brilliant achievement非凡的成就 brilliance n.
6. corridor 我一直告诉大家,学习一个新单词时,一定要看一看它的英文解释。corridor这个单词,中文翻译为“走廊;通道”,所以很多人以为它只是楼里的过道而已。它的英文释义是a long narrow passage in a building or train,发现了吗,火车车厢的通道也叫corridor。
7. volt 见4.voltage 8. dean (大学)学院院长;系主任
9. conservation 这个词以及它的动词在阅读中都经常出现,大家需要熟练掌握。 动词conserve:to keep or protect sth. from damage, change or waste.保存、保持。比如: conserve energy节约能源 conserve electricity 省电 conserve forest保护森林 名词conservation: wildlife conservation野生动物保护 a conservation area保护区 conservation of time节约时间 近义词辨析:英文中有三个单词都有“保留”的意思:reserve, conserve, preserve。我们来辨析一下。 conserve v. 强调节约,是“为了减少浪费”而进行的保护,而且强调对有价值的东西非常珍惜,因此进行合理的使用。 In winter, some people conserve energy by lowing the heat at night. 冬天,为节约能源有些人在夜里把暖气调小。 preserve v. 则不光是只“保留”,还强调保留下来“收藏”,使东西完好无损,侧重“为了不至于灭绝、损坏”而进行的保护。 The government preserves the rights of the individual person.政府保护个人的权利不受侵犯。 reserve v. 强调“留作后用”的保留、预订,可指保留座位、权利、意见等等。 We are reserving these seats for my parents.我们把这些座位留给我的父母。 小问题:仔细看看下列的句子,哪里出了错?又该如何修改? A. I’ll preserve my remarks for another occasion. 我把话留到另一个场合再说。 C. She is well reserved. 她保养得很好。 D. He is reserving his energy for the last twenty meter dash. 他在保留体力,为最后20米冲刺做准备。
10. spokesman n.发言人 若你确知发言人是位女性,可用spokeswoman。当然,为方便起见,或为了避免性别歧视的嫌疑,可统一称为spokesperson。
11. headquarters n.总部 需要注意的是,这个单词尾部本身就有s,单复同形。后面be动词既可以用单数,也可以用复数。The company's headquarters is/are in Amsterdam
12. maximum maximum指在数/量上最大的,最多的,既可以做形容词,比如 maximum speed/voltage/temperature最大速度/最大电压/最高温度 这个词也可以做名词。比如:Some teachers insist that 30 students per English class is the maximum. 一些老师坚持认为,每个英语班的学生最多只能是30个。再比如最近发生的甘肃幼儿园校车车祸事件,一辆用作校车的中巴车,硬生生塞入了64人,车祸后21人死亡,其中19名幼儿。让人愤怒的是,That bus was supposed to hold a maximum of 9 people. 反义词:minimum 最小/少(的)
13. punctual adj.准时 14. gear gear是齿轮、传动装置的意思。开车的时候我们说的一档、二档„„就是be in first/second gear。前进挡叫做forward gears,倒档叫做reverse gear。换挡叫change gear。档杆就叫做gear lever或者gear stick。 这样就很好理解,为什么in high gear是“全力以赴”的意思:用最高的档位做某事,就是把全部精力都用在这件事情上。Every time you see her at work, she is in high gear.每次在工作场合见到她,她都在努力工作。
15. recreation re(again)+create,create something again,再造。比如: The museum attempts to recreate the sights and sounds of wartime Britain.博物馆试图再现战时英国的情景。 如果说recreate oneself,就是give new life or energy to oneself的意思,使得到消遣、修养。比如我喜欢园艺,侍弄花草对我来说就是一种消遣,让我心情放松,精力恢复。I recreate myself with gardening. And I know some people who recreate themselves with bicycling, reading or playing PC games.那么你的消遣方式是什么呢,How do you recreate yourself?
