全新版大学英语综合教程二unit1-unit8选词填空cloze答案Unit 1Is there a contrast between learning styles in China and the West? While we should be careful to avoid exaggerating the differences, they do appear to exist. In China, for example, greater priority is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, on the other hand, place more emphasis on promoting creativity in young children, leaving them to pick up skills later. American parents tend to avoid rushing in to assist their children as they try to accomplish a task, thinking in better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Such an approach can, on occasion, be mistaken for neglecting one’s parental duties by those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantages, and it may well be worthwhile to search for a superior method that would combine the best of both worlds.Unit2If you visited Karl Green, you might not at first sight think he was well-off . Most of what he owns is rather dated and he will readily admit to falling into the bottom income bracket . Yet he would deny that he is poor, for he feels that his life is full of less tangible riches . Rather than devoting himself to the pursuit of money before all else, he cherishes the pleasures of friendship. His lack of interest in possessions does, however, sometimes make him feel out of place in today’s materialistic society and he still clearly feels hurt when he remembers the abrupt departure of a girlfriend who did not share his views. Yet there are many who admire him, particularly for his focus on helping the poor through collecting donations each Christmas. Unit3Our dad is typical of the older generation. You can certainly say he gives our welfare his constant attention. Sometimes, however, we wish he wouldn’t try quite so hard. To be frank, he seems to have a talent for embarrassing us by making dumb remarks. He should know better than that,but he never seems to learn and just goes on making the same old mistakes repeatedly . The result is that we live in constant dread of his well-intentioned interference in our affairs. Mom is no help, as you can bet she will always see things from his point of view rather than from ours. Overall, though, he’s awonderful dad and I assure you I wouldn’t trade him for anyone in the world.Unit 4With the Internet we can escape into another world at the click of a button. For many this virtual world is a dream come true. They find they can do away with the daily routines and stay inside for weeks and everything from home. Other, however, may find the virtual world a nightmare . It is especially annoying when the Internet connection is slow and everything crawls at a snail’s space. The computer does not take in your messages nor does it spit out data . Still others, who get the virtual world, may find communicating face-to-face too emotional and unbearable. At times they feel this so strongly that they have to flee from real human contact, hurrying to get back on line to the comfort and safety of a less demanding world.Unit5The following is how Michael Stone looks back on that day's competition.In my mind's eye I can see every detail of that pole vault. The bar was set at a new height.As I heard the crowd groan,I knew my competitor had failed to clear it.It was time for my mind with anxiety.I was tense and my palm began to sweat . I tried to shake off the tension, but was unsuccessful. At the critical moment, I remembered my mothe's advice to breathe deeply and brought myself under control . Then I was off , up and away, Soaring like an eahle , just as I did in my recurring dreams. The thump of my landing brought me back to earth. I had done it! This was no mere tantasy, but the real thing. All the sweat and hard work had paid off. Friends were rushing to congratulate me and I was surrounded by numerous clicking cameras of the media.Unit6Isn’t it strange how chance can play such a large part in what we become? If Carolyn hadn’t stumbled into that engineering course, she would never have become an engineer. At the time she did not know the first thing about anything mechanical. But when it comes to hard work, she is no stacker. She threw herself into study and joined in the project to make a hybrid vehicle. She admits that she often found studying math difficult, but she gritted her teeth and got on with it, working on the premise that math is a hard subject for most people. Girls, she argues, are no more at a disadvantage in this respect than boys. Nonetheless, she still had moments of panic when she found making progress particularly difficult.Carolyn concludes that we should not allow cultural expectations tolimit our horizons, for we are far more flexible in what we can achieve than they would imply.Unit7A fascinating feature of the English language is its tolerance of new words and phrases, either borrowed or invented.There exists no authority to examine each new addition to the language, to determine what is acceptable and to ban what is not. True, some people do think that borrowed words corrupt the language. They think the language is running out of control. At one time, influenced by the intellectual elite in France, some people came up with the idea of establishing an academy to maintain the purity of the English language. Fortunately the idea never took hold. Massive borrowing from a rich, variety of sources was, as a result, left free to greatly enrich the language.Unit8Rachel Carson provides a vivid description of an American town that seemed to be living under a wicked spell (1) .The town was stricken(2) by a whole series of misfortunes(3).Its surroundings(4),once full of apple blossom(5)and the song of migrant(6)birds,had changed dramatically. The bird had deserted(7) the area,leaving the countryside in silence(8). Farm animals sickened(9)and died. Chicks ceased to hatch(10) The people naturally puzzled(11) over the cause of their troubles . Some felt that perhaps they had no one to blame but themselves for ceasing to live in harmony with (12) nature.。
1) Strictly speaking,he is not a southerner. His biography reveals that, though born in the south, he spent a good part of his childhood years in New England.严格地说,他不是一个南方人。
他的传记显示,虽然他出生在南方,他度过了他的童年在英格兰。
2)Right after the Spring Festival, millions of young people drifted from the countryside to the cities to look for work and explore the world.3)春节之后,成千上万的年轻人离开农村到城市寻找工作和探索世界。
3) It is obvious that Tom resembles his father both in appearance and in character.很明显,汤姆和他的父亲在外貌和性格上都很像。
4) There is clear evidence that Japan committed many serious crimes against the Chinese people when it invaded China during the Second World War.有明确的证据表明,在二战侵略中国期间,日本对中国人民犯下了许多严重罪行。
5)Medical scientists expect it will be many years before cancer is conquered.医学科学家们期望过很多年癌症会被征服。
6)The novel has a fascinating plot. This explains why it has remained number one on the best-seller list for so long.这部小说有引人入胜的情节。

第六单元妇女半边天课文A????有些妇女何以能既做一份全职工作又能兼顾家庭的责任,并仍有余暇做其他事情?艾德丽安·波珀渴望能像她们一样,但又怀疑这会不会是一个根本无法实现的梦想。
我要买下布鲁克林桥艾德丽安·波?????不久前,我收到母校一份校友简报。
里面有一条是关于一个老同学的消息:“凯特·L在俄克拉荷马大学兼职任教,并任县高中校长助理。
她正在利用业余时间完成博士论文以及两本著作的最后定稿,同时她仍有时间与女儿们一起打网球、骑马。
”这条短讯中有四个字令我心神不安:业余时间。
有位朋友说,要是我对这一报道里的一切都信以为真,那她在布鲁克林还有一座桥要出售给我呢。
????朋友的打趣一针见血。
我多蠢啊!于是我打定主意,不再去想凯特那些不可思议的成就,以后看到类似报道也不要轻易相信。
????可是,就像节食者一时软弱竟把整盒饼干吃个精光一样,我发现自己的决心也有动摇之时。
每当不坚定时,我就在报刊上到处搜寻,贪婪地阅读一篇又一篇的成功故事。
我最喜欢的女强人有\一位政治家的女儿,她在照料一个两岁幼儿与一个新生儿的同时读完了法学院,同时还经营着一家公司;一位开业儿科医师,她自己有十个子女还有一位电视主持人,她是两个学龄前儿童的母亲,还在攻读硕士学位。
然而,有一天我真的与一位女强人面对面相逢。
去年圣诞节前,我因工作需要来到一家全国性公司女总裁的办公室。
如同其他女强人一样,她有丈夫,两个孩子,还有一处据说是纤尘不染的公寓。
她的生活安排得如瑞士表一般精确。
由于我本人的计划安排很少成功,她的成就既令我惊讶不已,又使我深感内疚。
????那天,她办公桌后面的架子上放置了至少一百罐草莓酱,上面扎着鲜艳的红格缎带。
这些果酱是总裁和她的孩子们一起制作的,罐子也是他们一起装饰的,她准备把果酱送给员工及来访的客户。
????我不由得惊问,她从哪儿抽出时间完成如此令人钦佩的假日工程?我真不该多此一问。

Though how the English language came into existence remains amystery to many people,linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a mon 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.★ Text Bprehension Check:cccdbdLanguage Practice1. gedcbhfa2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5) intransition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) had contributed to11) unique12) rid yourself ofUnit 8VocabularyI. 1) barking 2) evil 3) brooding, hatched 4) migrant 5) tragedies 6) counterpart7) are plaining/plain 8) grim 9) flocks, fed on 10) vegetation 11) patches 12) Scores of2. 1) was lined with people who came to wele 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.

Chicken died suddenly, cattle and sheep were stricken by mysterious maladies, and farmers plained about a sickening feeling that puzzled the village doctor.

A fascinating feature of the English language is its tolerance of new words and phrases,
either borrowed or invented. There exists no authority to examine each new addition to the language, to determine what is acceptable and to ban what is not. True, some people do think that borrowed words corrupt the language. They think the language is running out of control. At one time, influenced by the intellectual elite in France, some people came up with the idea of establishing an academy to maintain the purity of the English language. Fortunately the idea never took hold. Massive borrowing from a rich, variety of sources was, as a result, left free to greatly enrich the language.
英语语言的一个有趣的特征是它对于新词语和短语的宽容性,无论是借用还是发明的字句。

他们认为语言是正在失控。
在同一时间,受到法国的知识精英的影响,一些人想出这个主意,建立学术团体来保持英语的纯度。
幸运的是,他们的设想从未付诸实施。
幸运的是,这个想法从来没有抓住。
