Unit12 "Take over, Bos' n!"Key to the ExercisesText comprehensionI. Decide which of the following best states the theme of the story.B(The story is about the sense of responsibility in time of trial, which in this case is a shipwreck. Human instinct is brought into full play in the trial but it is the sense of responsibility that overweighs instinct and wins the battle at the end of the story, so B is more appropriate than A. As for C, though brotherly love does exist between these sailors, it is not brought into the limelight; rather it is the sense of responsibility that is emphatically glorified in the story.)II. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1. T (Refer to Paragraph 4. Snyder could see in their bloodshot eyes that they'd gladly kill him for those few drops.)2. T (Refer to Paragraph 6. Snyder was the man with the gun -- the only authority in the boat.)3. F (Refer to Paragraph 5. Snyder judged that they must be some two hundred miles east of Ascension. That means a long way since the men were too weak to pull on the oars.)4. F (Refer to Paragraph 21. Snyder felt he was falling asleep, and simply couldn't keep the gun in hand.)5. T (Refer to Paragraph 28. The bos'n's mate said, "I've been holding off these apes all day.")III. Answer the following questions.1. Refer to Paragraphs 1 4. Snyder knew very well that, without the gun, the nine men on the lifeboat would jump at the remaining water like animals, or they would even kill him for the water.2. Refer to Paragraph 6. Snyder knew as well that once the water was gone they would have nothing to look forward to but death. If he had given in to their instinct for the water, they'd have emptied the last canteen days ago and by then they'd all have been dead.3. Throughout the story, the narrator keeps referring to the gun and the fact that he was the man with the gun. The gun means at the same time authority and responsibility, especially for maintaining reason, which he had to keep where the rest had lost it. When he handed over the gun to the bos'n's mate, he was handing over the duty, and it was amazing that the mate changed from a craving animal to a reasonable guard once he took over the gun.4. Refer to Paragraph 19. Snyder hated the bos'n's mate because the mate had been the biggest threat to the water, and he was able to sleep, while Snyder had to keep awake for maybe seventy-two hours. Yet Snyder did not mean it when talking about hate. They were not personal enemies. Their confrontation arose as a result of the desperate situation and Snyder's responsibility: he was the man with the gun and he was in command there, and hence the man to think; that was the difference.5. Refer to Paragraph 28. Snyder was amazed to find out, after he woke up, that the bos'n's mate held the gun steady at the rest of the surviving crew, and said that he had kept off the apes all day. He understood sufficiently that when one was the boss-man, in command andresponsible for the rest, one would surely get to see things differently.IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences.1. To the nine men, I was no longer a man or officer. I meant to them a gun that would shoot them if they drank the water.2. As he was extremely thirsty, Barrett had lost his reason and was not able to think any more.Structural analysis of the textThrough a detailed description of Jeff Barrett, the author builds up the image of a strong and dangerous man, a constant threat to the hope of the survivors on the lifeboat. Readers are surprised to find that in the end he was the very person to keep the order and protect the water when Snyder was asleep. With such an unexpected turn, the author reveals how a sense of responsibility could be aroused by one's position.Rhetorical features of the text1. "A constant threat" (Paragraph 9), which serves as a sort of appositive.2. "The rest watched me as Barrett did, ready to spring the instant I relaxed." (Paragraph 7) The underlined part is employed to indicate the state they were in.3. "The bos'n's mate was a heavy man, bald, with a scarred and brutal face." (Paragraph 9) The underlined part is a prepositional phrase which further describes the man (the subject of the sentence).Vocabulary exercisesI. Explain the underlined part in each sentence in your own words.1. at such a short distance; from a place that was so near (to the other nine men)2. I wasn't important3. coldly planning/scheming4. give up reluctantly5. weakeningII. Fill in the blank in each sentence with a word taken from the box in its appropriate form.1. gulp2. growls3. clog4.

Unit 12Clothes Make the Man — Uneasy Consolidation ActivitiesI. Text Comprehension1. The author's purpose of writing this essay is to illustrate _____.A. men are uneasy with the new focus on men's fashionB. the rapid changes of fashionC. women's behavior in dressingD. how clothes make what man looks likeKey: [ A ]2. Judge, according to the text, whether the following statements are true or false.1). The author intended to hint that many a man began to be particular about what to wear and how to wear quite recently. [ T ]2). The width-of-tie question in the early '60s disturbed the stability of the conventional fashion system with regard to the two sexes. [ T ]3). Women looked on with secret satisfaction because during the next few years men were able to resist the changes. [ F ]4). Women obviously love the risk and ignore the laughter, but men secretly hate it and are afraid of a chuckle. [ T ]II. Writing StrategiesIn the expositive essay, Clothes Make the Man — Uneasy, the writer examines the topic from the perspective of masculine fashion in history. Most of the paragraphs are developed by the deductive method. Some figures of speech like metaphor and synecdoche are aptly applied to create vivid effects. And also, contrasts are employed in some places for emphasis of meaning. The tone is objective or matter-of-fact, but occasionally it is a little satirical. The style is vivid and formal. The following three questions are worth discussing:(1) Which paragraphs begin with a topic sentence?Paragraphs 1, 4, and 5 begin with a topic sentence.(2) Which sentences in the text involve the use of metaphor?Here is a list of sentences in each of which metaphor is employed. 1) "Into this stable system the width-of-tie question erupted in the early '60s." 2) "Suddenly, and for the first time in centuries, the rate of change in masculine fashion accelerated with disconcerting violence, throwing a new light on all the steady old arrangements." 3) "But rather stamped one as a convinced follower of the old order —thus adding three or four dangerous new meanings to all the formerly reliable signals." 4) "A look in the mirror suddenly revealed man to himself wearing his obvious chains and shackles, hopelessly unliberated." 5) "The creative use of male plumage for sexual display, after all, has had a very thin time for centuries…” 6) "No stepping over the boundaries was thinkable…” 7) "Moreover, along with fashion came the pitiless exposure of masculine narcissism and vanity, so long submerged and undiscussed."(3) Which sentences in the text show contrast?The following sentences are worth studying because they show or contain contrast: 1) "Before the mid' 60s whether to wear a tie was the most dramatic sartorial problem: everything else was a subtle matter of surface variation." 2) "Women have been so accustomed to dealing with extreme fashion for so long that they automatically brace themselves for whatever is coming next, including their own willingness to resist or conform and all the probable masculine responses. Men in modern times have only lately felt any pressure to pay that kind of attention." 3) "All the delicate shades of significance expressed by the small range of possible alternatives used to be absorbing enough: Double- or single-breasted cut? Sports jacket and slacks or a suit? Shoes with plain or wing tip?" 4) "The choices men had had to make never looked very momentous to a feminine eye accustomed to a huge range of personally acceptable possibilities, but they always had an absolute and enormous meaning in the world of men, an identifying stamp usually incomprehensible to female judgment." 5) "A hat with a tiny bit of nearly invisible feather was separated as by an ocean from a hat with none, and white-on-white shirts, almost imperceptibly complex in weave, were totally shunned by those men who favored white oxford-cloth shirts." 6) "Women might remain mystified by the ferocity with which men felt and supported these tiny differences…” 7) "Paying no attention whatever to nipped-in waistlines, vivid turtlenecks, long hair with sideburns, and bell-bottom trousers could not guarantee any comfy anonymity, but rather stamped one as a convinced follower of the old order…” 8) "In general, men of all ages turn out not to want to give up the habit of fixing on a suitable self-image and then carefully tending it, instead of taking up all the new options." 9) "No stepping over the boundaries was thinkable —ruffled evening shirts were for them, not me; and the fear of the wrong associations wasthe strongest male emotion about clothes, not the smallest part being fear of association with the wrong sex." 10) "Women apparently love the risk, of course, and ignore the laughter. Men secretly hate it and dread the very possibility of a smile."III. Language Work1. Explain the underlined part in each sentence in your own words.1). A hat with a tiny bit of nearly invisible feather was separated as by an ocean from a hat with none.→ was enormously different from2). Women might remain mystified by the ferocity with which men felt and supported these tiny differences.→ might still feel puzzled about3). …he rate of change in masculine fashion accelerated with disconcerting violence, throwing a new light on all the steady old arrangements.→ providing new information on and thus leading to a new understanding of4). In fact to the discomfiture of many, the very look became a distinct and highly conspicuous way of dressing.→ what made many people uncomfortable was that5). It seems too much of a strain to dress for all that complex multiple role-playing, like women.→ unbearably demanding and stressful6). High heels and platform soles…have been appropriated only by those willing to change not only their heights but their way of walking.→ accepted for wearing2. Fill in each blank with one of the two words from each pair in their appropriate forms and note the difference of meaning between them.conform adaptAdapt means to change someone or something to suit new circumstances or a different environment, and it normally involves considerable change to meet new requirements, emphasizing the purpose for which the change must be made. Conform means tocorrespond to a model or pattern, and it sometimes means to adhere or adjust to conventional behaviour.1). Federal civil rights laws require all schools and colleges to conform to the national standards of educational equality.2). The organization has agreed on a convention under which all members will adapt their domestic law to make bribery of foreign officials a criminal offense.3). Most of the candidates had to adapt their speeches to suit the interests of their audience.4). Japan has recently changed its constitution to allow it to conform to the United States demands to modify its military status.ignore neglectNeglect suggests an inequitable division of attention, which can be the result of either an intentional or unintentional failure to give the amount of attention that one deserves. Ignore suggests a complete failure rather than a partial one, stressing an intentional total refusal to take account of a warning or other realities.1). His father would accuse him of neglecting his filial duties.2). The mayor promised economic policies that would not neglect the poor and needy.3). She kept on asking questions, but her mother continued her work, ignoring the interruption.4). His cry is pitched at a high level that makes it impossible to ignore.zest interestZest is a feeling of enthusiasm and pleasure, and it expresses dynamic vigour along with uninhibited sensuous delight. Interest is something you want to hear and learn more about and even something you enjoy doing.1). After last week's defeat, most members of our football team seem to have recovered part of their zest for a new match.2). Pictures add interest to plain painted walls.3). The hungry man ate with zest.4). His interests extended beyond the fine arts to international politics and philosophy.strain stressBoth words are sometimes interchangeable when referring to the worry and tension caused by a difficult situation. Stress indicates a condition of emotional or intellectual distress, caused by some external stimulus, such as injury or shock, that exerts a compelling or constraining influence to which the person involved cannot adequately adjust. Strain suggests the severe extra effort one has to expend to meet the demands of a difficult situation, entailing physical, mental, or emotional distress.1). The vast expansion in university enrollment is putting an enormous strain on the system.2). Soon after they enter the university campus, the students start showing signs of feeling the strain of responsibility which they have never experienced at home.3). It is generally believed that stress is an inherent part of dieting.4). Massage is used to relax muscles, relieve stress, and improve blood circulation.3. Fill in the blank in each sentence with a word or phrase taken from the box, using its appropriate form.momentous hindrance conform prerogative disguise imperceptibly exemption agonize subtle blatantly anonymity incurring1).

And in this process, speakers or writers normally follow two principles —the principles of end-focus and end-weight. End-focus refers to the chief prominence on the last open-class item, namely the tendency to place new information towards the end of the clause or sentence. End-weight, on the other hand, refers to the tendency to reserve the final position for the more complex parts of a clause or sentence. Any part of a sentence, therefore, can be highlighted by being postponed to the end position.6.

新目标英语八年级上第12单元知识讲解及练习含答案Unit 12 What's the best radio station?反意疑问句浅析反意疑问句原则上遵循"前否定后肯定，前肯定后否定"的十二字口诀；但随着现代语言的发展，有时也不遵循这样的规则，发生了变化，变得更加口语化，这就需要我们对具体问题作具体分析。

1. Mr Gree n went to Shenzhen on business last week, _____? (福州市2004中考题)A. isn't heB. doesn't heC. didn't heD. hasn't he解析：解析：反意疑问句的后半部分（附加疑问句）必须在人称、数和时态上与前面的陈述部分保持一致；当前一部分的主语部分为名词时，后一部分的主语用相应的人称代词形式。

本题中前一部分的谓语动词为一般过去时的行为动词的肯定形式，后一部分的助动词只能是didn't。

答案：C2. You often have bread for breakfast, ____ you? (海南省1997中考题)A. don'tB. haven'tC. aren'tD. will解析：have不当"有"讲时，用作行为动词。

have当"有"讲进行句型转换时，可以添加助动词，也可以不加助动词，如：He has few friends in the new school, does / has he? (长沙市2003中考题)答案：A3. Alice has to finish her work now, _____? (河南省1999中考题)A. has sheB. hasn't sheC. does sheD. doesn't she解析：have to虽与must同义，但它变反意疑问句时要像行为动词一样去变。
