Though how the English language came into existenceremains 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 basicvocabulary 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.★ Text BComprehension Check: c c c d b dLanguage Practice1. g e d c b h f a2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5)in transition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) hadcontributed to 11) unique12) rid yourself ofUnit 8VocabularyI. 1) barking 2) evil 3) brooding, hatched 4) migrant 5) tragedies 6) counterpart7) are complaining/complain 8) grim 9) flocks, fed on 10) vegetation11) patches 12) Scores of2. 1) was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreign guests2) the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office3) wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed the crowded unnoticed.4) looked deserted 5) were stricken by it3. 1) patches, came into full bloom, were puzzled, mysterious2) throbbed with, sickened, migrant, a chorus 3) had crept into.

Part II Reading TaskComprehensionContent QuestionPair Work1. 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 second example, calligraphers 9 and 10 years old were producing works; and in a third, young artists work on perfecting their craft for several hours a 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 of a question.2.

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.。

全新版大学英语综合教程2课文翻译及课后答案(全)全新版大学英语综合教程2课文翻译及课后答案(全)课文翻译Lesson 1 FriendshipFriendship is one of life's most important treasures. Friends bring us joy, support, and understanding. They are there for us in good times and bad, and they help us grow and become better individuals.In this lesson, we are introduced to the concept of friendship through the story of Damon and Pythias. Damon and Pythias were two loyal friends who lived in ancient Greece. When Pythias was accused of plotting against the tyrant Dionysius, he was sentenced to death. However, Damon offered himself as a hostage so that Pythias could go home and say goodbye to his family. Dionysius was skeptical of Damon's loyalty and gave him a deadline. If Pythias did not return by the appointed time, Damon would be executed in his place. Despite the risk, Pythias returned just in time to save his friend's life. The tyrant was so moved by their friendship that he released Pythias and allowed the two friends to continue their bond.The story of Damon and Pythias teaches us about the importance of loyalty and sacrifice in friendships. True friends are willing to go to great lengths to help and support each other. They are selfless and put the well-being of their friends above their own.Friendship is not only based on loyalty and sacrifice but also on trust and understanding. Friends should be able to confide in each other and know that their secrets are safe. They should also be able to communicate openly and honestly, even when it's difficult. When trust and understanding exist within a friendship, it becomes a safe haven where individuals can be themselves without fear of judgment.Lesson 2 SuccessSuccess means different things to different people. For some, success is measured by wealth and material possessions. For others, success is achieving personal goals and finding fulfillment in life.This lesson introduces us to the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Jack, a poor boy, was given magic beans in exchange for his family's cow. These beans grew into a giant beanstalk that reached the sky. Jack bravely climbed the beanstalk and discovered a giant's castle where he found treasures and riches beyond imagination. Jack's journey represents the pursuit of success and the willingness to take risks.Success requires determination, hard work, and a positive mindset. It involves setting goals and working tirelessly to achieve them. Along the way, there may be obstacles and setbacks, but successful individuals persevere and stay focused on their objectives.Success is not solely measured by material wealth but also by personal growth and self-fulfillment. It's about finding happiness and contentment in one's achievements and embracing the journey rather than just the destination.课后答案Lesson 1 Friendship1.

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 balancebetween 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 learningin China and the West.3)He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form of a 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 time Americans1)Teach children that they should rely on themselves for solutionsto problems2)Put more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children,thinking skills can be picked up laterLanguage Sense Enhancement(1)Summarizing(2)value originalityand independence (3)contrast between (4)in terms of(5)harbor(6)fearful(7)comparable(8)promotecreativity(9)emerge(10)picked upLanguage Focus VocabularyI1.1)insert2)on occasion3)investigate4)In retrospect5)initial 6)phenomena7)attached8)make up for9)is awaiting10)not; in theleast11)promote12)emerged2.1) a striking contrast between the standards of living in the northof the country and the south.2)is said to be superior to synthetic fiber.3)as a financial center has evolved slowly.4)is not relevant to whether he is a good lawyer.5)by a little-known sixteen-century Italian poet have found theirway into some English magazines.3.1)be picked up; can’t accomplish; am exaggerating2)somewhat; the performance; have neglected; they apply to3)assist; On the other hand; are valid; a superiorII1.1)continual2)continuous 3)continual4)continuous2.1)principal2)principal3)principle 4)principles5)principalIII1.themselves2.himself/herself3.herself/by herself/on her own4.itself5.ourselves6.yourself/by yourself/on yourownComprehensive Exercises I.cloze1.(1)contrast(2)exaggerating(3)priority(4)on the otherhand (5)promoting(6)pick up(7)assist(8)accomplish(9)occasion(10)neglecting(11)worthwhile(12)superior2.(1)end(2)perform(3)facing(4)competent (5)equipped(6)designed(7)approach(8)rest(9)definitely(10)qualityII.translation1.(1)It takes an enormous amount of courage to make a departure fromthe tradition.(2)Tom used to be very shy, but this time he was bold enough to givea performance in front of a large audience.(3)Many educators think it desirable to foster the creative spiritin the child at an early age.(4)Assuming this painting really is a masterpiece, do you think it’sworthwhile to buy it(5)If the data is statistically valid, it will throw light on theproblem we are investigating.2.To improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening and speaking. Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.Unit2 ValuesPart II Reading TaskComprehensionContent QuestionPair Work1.The Salvation Army is a religious charitable organization.

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 byoneself.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.

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.

It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.Unit2 ValuesPart II Reading TaskComprehensionContent QuestionPair Work1.

In its over 15 centuries of development, English has borrowed from other languages massively, and such borrowing has greatly enriched its vocabulary. As settlers landed in Americaand 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.Unit 8VocabularyI. 1. 1. universal 2. current 3. worked his way 4. deny 5. melt 6. came through 7. threat8. combat 9. in the name of 1. raged 11. vote 12. concerns 13. in part 14. reality 15. urgent2.1.

Though it may be difficult to distinguish a good proposal from a bad one in our current debate on environmental issues, one contemporary commentator has argued that protecting the environment in the name of man should be our guiding principle.。

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: theIndo-European parent language. English was first spoken by theAnglo-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.。

They are seldom aware of the fatal consequences of the ruin of nature. In contrast, most educated people bind their own well-being to that of nature and try to preserve nature on the grounds of self-preservation. Though it may be difficult to distinguish a good proposal from a bad one in our current debate on environmental issues, one contemporary commentator has argued that protecting the environment in the name of man should be our guiding principle.。

参考译文第一单元学习方式课文A????哈佛大学教育学教授霍华德·加德纳回忆其中国之行，阐述他对中西方不同的学习方式的看法。

???中国式的学习风格霍华德·加德纳????1987年春，我和妻子埃伦带着我们18个月的儿子本杰明在繁忙的中国东部城市南京住了一个月，同时考察中国幼儿园和小学的艺术教育情况。

然而，我和埃伦获得的有关中蓁教育观念差异的最难忘的体验并非来自课堂，而是来自我们在南京期间寓居的金陵饭店的大堂。

????我们的房门钥匙系在一块标有房间号的大塑料板上。

酒店鼓励客人外出时留下钥匙，可以交给服务员，也可以从一个槽口塞入钥匙箱。

由于口子狭小，你得留神将钥匙放准位置才塞得进去。

本杰明爱拿着钥匙走来走去，边走边用力摇晃着。

他还喜欢试着把钥匙往槽口里塞。

由于他还年幼，不太明白得把钥匙放准位置才成，因此总塞不进去。

本杰明一点也不在意。

他从钥匙声响中得到的乐趣大概跟他偶尔把钥匙成功地塞进槽口而获得的乐趣一样多。

????我和埃伦都满不在乎，任由本杰明拿着钥匙在钥匙的槽口鼓捣。

他的探索行为似乎并无任何害处。

但我很快就观察到一个有趣的现象。

饭店里任何一个中国工作人员若在近旁，都会走过来看着本杰明，见他初试失败，便都会试图帮忙。

他们会轻轻握紧本杰明的手，直接将它引向钥匙的槽口，进行必要的重新定位，并帮他把钥匙插入槽口。

然后那位“老师”会有所期待地对着我和埃伦微笑，似乎等着我们说声谢谢——偶尔他会微微皱眉，似乎觉得我俩没有尽到当父母的责任。

????我很快意识到，这件小事与我们在中国要做的工作直接相关：考察儿童早期教育??(尤其是艺术教育)的方式，揭示中国人对创造性活动的态度。

因此，不久我就在与中国教育工作者讨论时谈起了钥匙槽口一事。

?两种不同的学习方式????我的中国同行，除了少数几个人外，对此事的态度与金陵饭店工作人员一样。

”既然大人知道怎么把钥匙塞进槽口——这是处理槽口一事的最终目的，??既然孩子还很年幼，还没有灵巧到可以独自完成要做的动作，让他自己瞎折腾会有什么好处呢?他很有可能会灰心丧气发脾气——这当然不是所希望的结果。

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.Unit 8Protecting Our Environment VocabularyI1.1)barking5)tragedies8)grim2)evil6)counterpart9)flocks; fed on3)brooding;7)are10)vegetationhatched complaining/co-11)patches4)migrant mplain12)Scores of2.1)was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreignguests.2)the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office.3)wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed the crowedunnoticed.4)looked deserted.5)were stricken by it.3.1)patches; came into full bloom; were puzzled; mysterious2)throbbed with; sickened; migrant; a chorus3)had crept into; flickered; the starkII.Word Formation1.Compound words Chinese meaningage-old古老的air force空军daughter-in-law儿老婆first-rate一流的greenhouse温室half brother同母异父兄弟；同父异母兄弟ice-cream冰淇淋lifelike传神的light year光年salesperson售货员；销售员self-centered以自己为中心的，自私的threefold三倍overuse过分使用stone-still石头似的一动不动worldwide全球范围的；在世界范围内2.1)poverty-stricken people5)successful spacewalk2)heart-breaking news6)peace-loving people3)newly-built database7)need-based scholarships4)well-fed kids8)color-blind peopleIII.

All the year round, the trees were green and the flowers in bloom. Clear streams flowed out of the hills through a checkerboard of rice fields. Birds sang all day, and deer came and went in a leisurely manner. However, with the coming of DDT and other pesticides, an evil spell seemed to have settled over the village. Misfortunes came one after another. Chicken died suddenly, cattle and sheep were stricken by mysterious maladies, and farmers complained about a sickening feeling that puzzled the village doctor. The village square, once throbbing with life, was now deserted.。
