Ⅱ .1.The younger generation of the 1920s were thought to be wild because they visited speakeasies, denounced Puritan morality, etc. (See para. 1).2. "Yes" and "no Yes" because the business of growing up is always accompanied by a Younger Generation Problem, "no" because all their actions can now be seen in perspective as being something considerably less sensational than the degeneration of jazz mad youth.3. Yes. Youth was faced with the challenge of changing the standards of social behavior, of rejecting Victorian gentility. But in America the young people tried to escape their responsibilities and retreat behind and air of naughty alcoholic sophistication and a pose of Bohemian immorality.4. The revolt was logical and inevitable because of the conditions in the age. First of all, the rebellion affected the entire Western world. Second, people in the United States realized their country was no longer isolated in either politics or tradition and that they could no longer take refuge in isolationism.5. All the activities mentioned above were means to help the young people to escape their more serious responsibilities of changing society and most young people went in for these activities. It became a general pattern of behavior.6. The war whipped up their energies but destroyed their naivette. It made them cynical. They could not fit themselves into postwar society so they rebelled and tried to overthrow completely the genteel standards of behavior.7. Intellectuals and non-intellectuals began to imitate the pattern of life set by those living in Greenwich Village. These people lived a Bohemian and eccentric life. They defied the law and flouted all social conventions. They attacked the war, Babbittry, and "Puritanical" gentility.8. These young intellectuals wanted America to become more sensitive to art and culture, less avid for material gain, and less susceptible to standardization.9. They emigrated to Europe because there "they do things better" than in the United States where people only care for money and wealth. Only in Europe will they be able to find remedy for their sensitive minds.10. They were called the "lost generation" by Gertrude Stein because they were troubled and worried and had emigrated to Europe. But they were never really lost for they finally returned to America and produced the liveliest, freshest, most stimulating works in America's literary experience.Ⅲ .1. The structural organization of this essay is clear and simple. The essay divides logically into paragraphs with particular functions: to introduce the subject (introduction) in paragraph 1, to support and develop the thesis (the body or the middle) in paragraphs 2 through 9, to bring the discussion to an end (conclusion)in paragraphs 10 and 11.2. Horton and Edwards state their thesis in the last paragraph of the essay: "The intellectuals of the Twenties, the "sad young men", as F. Scott Fitzgerald called them, cursed their luck but didn't die; escaped but voluntarily returned; flayed the Babbits but loved their country, and in so doing gave the nation the liveliest, freshest, most stimulating writing in its literary experience. "3. They support their thesis by providing historical material concerning the revolt of the younger generation of the twenties in a series of paragraphs and paragraph units between the introduction and conclusion.4. Yes. Each paragraph or paragraph unit develops a new but related aspect of the thoughtstated in the thesis. Frequently the first sentence of these middle paragraphs states clearly the main idea of the material that follows and indicates a new but related stage of the developing thought. For example : The rejection of Victorian gentility was, in any case, inevitable. (paragraph 3). The rebellion started with World War I . (paragraph 5) Greenwich Village set the pattern. (paragraph 7) Meanwhile the true intellectuals were far from flattered. (paragraph 9).5. The two paragraphs form a single unit. The writers begin with a clearly stated main idea -- Greenwich Village set the pattern and use paragraph 7 to explain Greenwich Village to the reader, following in paragraph 8 with supporting material showing how the rest of the country imitated life in the "Village".6.Student' s choice.7.Student's choice.III. Paraphrase1.At the very mention of this post-war period, middle-aged people begin to think about it longingly.2.In any case, an American could not avoid casting aside抛弃；废除its middle-class respectability and affected做作的；假装的refinement精制；文雅.3.The war only helped to speed up the breakdown of the Victorian social structure.4.In America at least, the young people were strongly inclined to shirk their responsibilities. They pretended to be worldly-wise老于世故的；精于世故的, drinking and behaving naughtily.5.The young people found greater pleasure in their drinking because Prohibition, by making drinking unlawful, added a sense of adventure.6.Our young men joined the armies of foreign countries to fight in the war.7.The young people wanted to take part in the glorious adventure before the whole war ended.8.These young people could no longer adapt themselves to lives in their home towns or their families.9. The returning veteran also had to face the stupid cynicism of the victorious allies in Versailles who acted as cynically as Napoleon did, and to face Prohibition which the lawmakers hypocritically assumed would do good to the people.10. (Under all this force and pressure) something in the youth of America, who were already very tense, had to break down.11. It was only natural that hopeful young Writers whose minds and writings were filled with violent anger against war, Babbitry, and "Puritanical" gentility, should come in great numbers to live in Greenwich Village, the traditional artistic centre.12. Each town was proud that it had a group of wild, reckless people, who lived unconventional lives.IV.

Starting out & Understanding ideasⅠ.阅读理解AOlivia Ries was just seven years old when she and her eight­year­old brother Carter adopted a cheetah (猎豹) in South Africa.“When my sister and I first learned back in 2009 that species like the cheetah may be extinct in the wild by the time we have kids, it scared us.We knew we had to do something to help them，” says Carter.“There are so many people (young and old alike) who just don't know what is happening to so many species, just like we didn't.Olivia and I want to make sure we reach as many people around the world as possible and help them to understand how serious the situation really is.”To do that, the kids started One More Generation (OMG), an organization with the motto：“Preserving endangered species for one more generation and beyond.”Now, ten years later, Olivia and Carter have traveled all over the world spreading their message.They've been interviewed on national television, participated in marches and fundraisers and won awards for their work.In 2015, they were invited to Vietnam by the United States Embassy to participate in a program to save rhinos.All that they've accomplished for animals and the environment is much too long to list!“Our number one message to everyone we meet is ‘Remember, anyone can make a difference ...if we can, you can too，’” says Olivia, “We want all people to understand that what Carter and I are doing is not necessarily something special; it is something that we all should be doing.You can start small by simply adopting an animal.Do some research on the species you are interested in, and find a good organization offering adoptions.My brother and I take our birthday money and allowance money and adopt animals all the time.”语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。

Drafting a lectureⅠ.阅读理解The giraffe (长颈鹿) is the tallest animal on land.It is one of the best­known species in Africa, known for their very long necks, long legs and the brown and white patterns that cover their bodies.Craig Hilton­taylor is head of the Red List program.He says there were between 152,000 and 163, 000 giraffes in 1985.But now, the number of them has fallen to about 98,000.“It is a huge tragedy and it's been sort of a silent disappearance that we just really haven't detected until now.” Fi fty years ago, groups of giraffes usually had 20 to 30 animals in them.Now, observers are only seeing six animals in a group.Until now the disappearance of the animals has not been observed closely.They live in such a wide area across Africa.What is causi ng this decrease? Hilton­taylor says, “It is due to the effect of people, whether it's people causing loss of habitat for the species, hunting the species for food or harvesting for medicine or for wood.”He says pollution and the effects of climate change are just a few of the other problems affecting the species.Some people are moving into protected areas where giraffes and other animals live because of a lack of rain that affects food production.Sometimes the animals are killed for their meat.Also, civil wars in Africa make it more difficult to protect the animals.Hilton­taylor says giraffes can be helped.“It's not too late, and we can turn things around.” Some of the ideas that work include community involvement and tourism.Tourism, for example, provides jobs for local people.He also says there needs to be a giraffe action plan put in place to observe and survey the animals across the continent of Africa.Hilton­taylor adds that finding answers to the problems people face, like drought linked to climate change, food shortages and civil unrest, will provide answers for people to help giraffes.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。
