新视野大学英语(第二册)答案Unit OneSection AII Comprehension of The Text1.The attitude is that if one is not moving ahead, he is falling behind.2.Time is treated as if it were something almost real. People budget it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; they also charge for it. They do this because time is a precious resource.3.Everyone is in a rush—often under pressure. In the writer‟s eyes, city people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going, restlessly seeking attention in a store, or elbowing others as they try to complete their shopping.4.Don‟t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain appropriate point.5.This is because Americans generally assess and enquire about their visitors professionally rather than socially. They start talking business very quickly. Time is always ticking in their inner ear.6.Americans produce a steady flow of labor-saving devices: they communicate rapidly through faxes, phone calls or emails rather than through personal contacts.7.The impersonality of electronic communication has little or no relation to the significance of the matter at hand.8.It is taken as a sign of skillfulness or being competent to solve a problem or fulfill a job with speed in the U.S.III Vocabulary1.Budgeted2.acute3.restless4. surroundingspetent6. assessing7.elbowed8.conductingIV.Filling the Blank1.behind 2 for 3.to 4. out 5.of 6.to 7.in 8.intoV Word Buildingmitment2.attraction3.appointment4.impression5.civilization6. composition7.confusion8.congratulation9.consideration 10..explanation11.acquisition 12.depressionVI1advisable 2desirable 3favorable 4considerable 5remarkable 6 preferable7 drinkable8.acceptableVII Structure1. much less do they take them out for dinner2.much less a big company3.much less carry it upstairs4.much less spoken to him5.much less ( to ) read a lot outside of itVIII.1.Having meals at home can cost as little as two or three dollars, whereas eating out at a restaurant is always more expensive2.We thought she was rather proud, whereas in fact she was just very shy3.We have never done anything for them, whereas they have done everything for us.4.Natalie prefers to stay for another week, whereas her husband prefers to leave immediately.5.Some highly praise him, whereas others put him down severelyIX Translation Chinese to English1.In the eyes of some people, Picasso‟s paintings would seem rather foolish2.The increase in their profits is due partly to their new market strategy.3.The man told his wife to keep the medicine on the top shelf so that it would be beyond the children‟s reach.4.Happiness doesn't always go with money5.That car has given me nothing but trouble ever since I bought it.X Translation English to Chinese1.这种态度的结果是,全国人民都投身到研究、实验和探索中去了。

Part I. Summary Writing (20 %): Directions: Read the following passage. Write a summary of about 80 words. The “Hawthorne Effect”, one of the best-known experiments in sociology was conducted before World War II at the Hawthorne plant of Western Electric. The management was eager to improve productivity and wanted to know what kind of incentives would encourage the workers to increase output. The researcher who investigated the problem, Elton Mayo, separated a group of women from the other workers and systematically varied lighting, coffee breaks, lunch hours, methods of payment, and so on. At first, Mayo and his associates were delighted: each new change increased levels of productivity. But when the researchers found that productivity rose no matter which variables were involved, they became suspicious. When the workers were finally returned to their original conditions, their productivity rose yet again! Something was seriously wrong with the researchers’ theoretical assumptions. Whatever had caused the changes in the dependent variable—productivity—it was not the independent variables the experimenters had introduced, and from this point of view the experiment was a failure. But the reasons for the experiment’s failure have taught sociologists a great deal. Production rose, it seems, because the women enjoyed all the attention they were getting: they became a tight-knit, cooperative group, they knew what effects the sociologists were trying to produce, and they did their best to please. This phenomenon—the contamination of the experiment by the subjects’ assumptions about what the sociologist is trying to prove—is still known as the Hawthorne effect. (239 words)

. 将下列一段中文译成英语(1×35分,共35分)In the land where Thomas Jefferson proclaimed the best government to be one that governs the least, we now see the most persnickety intrusions into daily life. You can’t smoke in public places, including bars and restaurants. You can’t use a cell phone in your car, thoughthat’s about the most useful place in the world to have one. Laws of all sorts prohibi t all kinds of behavior at the workplace, from casual touching to off-color jokes. Home is no haven, either. It is illegal in several cities to be in a state of undress if a peeping Tom across the way claims he glimpsed you. Neighbors are now legally entitled to report “inappropriate” noises coming from your apartment. The city of San Francisco encourages hairdressers to report domestic violence if they find suspicious bumps or scratches on their clients’ heads. Public schools have even legislated anti -bullying ordinances governing all sorts of commonplace juvenile behavior--name-calling, teasing and even “shunning,” or avoiding kids you don’t like. What’s next --dirty looks?Ⅲ.将下列一侧面中文译成英语 (1×37分,共37分)《那支长枪》是我至今较为满意的短篇,我在故事中的“我父亲”身上画下了我的侧影。

Will We Run Out of Water? Picture a “ghost ship” sinking into the sand, left to rot on dry land by a receding sea. Then imagine dust storms sweeping up toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers from the dry seabed and spewing them across towns and villages. Seem like a scene from a movie about the end of the world? For people living near the Aral Sea in Central Asia, it’s all too real. Thirty years ago, government planners diverted the rivers that flow into the sea in order to irrigate(provide water for)farmland. As a result, the sea has shrunk to half its original size, stranding ships on dry land. The seawater has tripled in salt content and become polluted, killing all 24 native species of fish. Similar large scale efforts to redirect water in other parts of the world have also ended in ecological crisis, according to numerous environmental groups. But many countries continue to build massive dams and irrigation systems, even though such projects can create more problems than they fix. Why? People in many parts of the world are desperate for water, and more people will need more water in the next century. “Growing populations will worsen problems with water,” says Peter H. Gleick, an environmental scientist at the Pacific Institute for studies in Development, Environment, and Security, a research organization in California. He fears that by the year 2025, as many as onethird of the world’s projected 8.3 billion people will suffer from water shortages. Where Water Goes Only 2.5 percent of all water on Earth is freshwater, water suitable for drinking and growing food, says Sandra Postel, director of the Global Water Policy Project in Amherst, Mass. Two thirds of this freshwater is locked in glaciers and ice caps. In fact, only a tiny percentage of freshwater is part of the water cycle, in which water evaporates and rises into the atmosphere, then condenses and falls back to Earth as precipitation(rain or snow). Some precipitation runs off land to lakes and oceans, and some becomes groundwater, water that seeps into the earth. Much of this renewable freshwater ends up in remote places like the Amazon river basin in Brazil, where few people live. In fact, the world’s population has access to only 12,500 cubic kilometers of freshwater—about the amount of water in Lake Superior. And people use half of this amount already. “If water demand continues to climb rapidly,” says Postel, “there will be severe shortages and damage to the aquatic environment.” Close to Home Water woes may seem remote to people living in rich countries like the United States. But Americans could face serious water shortages, too especially in areas that rely on groundwater. Groundwater accumulates in aquifers, layers of sand and gravel that lie between soil and bedrock. (For every liter of surface water, more than 90 liters are hidden underground).Although the United States has large aquifers, farmers, ranchers, and cities are tapping many of them for water faster than nature can replenish it. In northwest Texas, for example, over pumping has shrunk groundwater supplies by 25 percent, according to Postel. Americans may face even more urgent problems from pollution. Drinking water in the United States is generally safe and meets high standards. Nevertheless, one in five Americans every day unknowingly drinks tap water contaminated with bacteria and chemical wastes, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. In Milwaukee, 400,000 people fell ill in 1993 after drinking tap water tainted with cryptosporidium, a microbe that causes fever, diarrhea and vomiting. The Source Where so contaminants come from? In developing countries, people dump raw sewage into the same streams and rivers from which they draw water for drinking and cooking; about 250 million people a year get sick from water borne diseases. In developed countries, manufacturers use 100,000 chemical compounds to make a wide range of products. Toxic chemicals pollute water when released untreated into rivers and lakes. (Certain compounds, such as polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, have been banned in the United States.)
