community where Rogers lived. Nobody knew who had committed it, but the police suspected Rogers, because his history of violating the law and committing crimes could be checked in the country court. Besides, in the police's eyes, Rogers ranked as one of the most dangerous figures in the country, and must be carefully dealt with. So he was summoned to appear in court the next Friday. He had been out of employment for several months. Needless to say, he could not afford to ask for a lawyer, but he hoped that someone was willing to provide him with free legal consulting service through telephone, so that he could defend himself in court.7Vocabulary work11.die down2.licked3.shrewd4.choked5.In Brief6.for one7.a dispatch8.facilities9.publicity 10.earn a living 11.enterprise 12.agent 13.accusation 14.transport15.as far as16.rumor21.bound up with2.proportion3.elapsed4.first and last5.going through6.rescued7.substantialarre9.illegal 10.scheme 11.foresee 12.expand 13.slips 14.be caught in31.The sudden disappearance of their guide puzzled the tourists.2.He was a lively and interesting speaker,but his last remarks apparenty had no connection with the begining of his speech.3.The accusation against the candidate was that he broke his promises even before he was in office.4.She had intended to spend only one year studying in Germany,but four years elapsed before she returned home.5.The young entrepreneur was too shrewd to get involved in that risky business venture.41.played up2.played upon3.played off4.played down5.played at6.playing around7.played with8.play back 9.played out 10.was dying for 11.way dying off 12.died out 13.died down14.died away15.from diedCLoze1.residing2.uncle3.enough4.waste5.money6.as7.answer8.deep-freeze9.undertook10.until 11.defrost 12.when 13.which 14.his 15.in 16.left 17.more 18.rest19.paying20.to 21.but 22.next 23.only.Error Correction1.intentions --whose intentions2.himself--herself3.entitling--entitled4.only--only to5.Any--Every6.down--/7.was--were8.As--If9.Of--Upon10.baffling--baffledTranslation1.In brief, these lab facilities are too expensive.

But if we take some decisive action in this aspect, the prospect that we long for will appear before us. In other words, our future is in our own hand's to a great extent; our future is in fact the product of the joint decisions we make today. Needless to say, our present action will make certain prospect more likely to come true compared with some other prospects.Some scholars noticed that science fiction writers devoted their lives to showing what kind of future world would result from certain actions of human genius. They studied the excellent science fictions published in recent years, and got the conclusion that science fiction could reveal to us what would happen in the future and help us from a future world that we long for,What's interesting is that science fiction courses are offered in many colleges and universities on the grounds that science fiction is the bridge between science and art.9Vocabulary work11.submerged2.eased off3. enlarged4. burnt out5.make room for6.spit7.suck8.overdue9.at hand10.wreck11.vogue 12.rust 13.terror 14.digest 15.flash 16.turn back21.gets through2.but then3.transient4.at hand5.surrender6.pedestrian7. looked up to8.riddled with9.played a part 10.run out of time11.enlarge 12.vogue 13.optimist or a paragon 14.terror31.Overwork left him a wrech and his doctor ordered him to take a vacation.2.Ruth has every reason to think that her promotion is overdue.3.The heavy fog kept the plane from langding and it was how running out of fuel.4.Lst year's bad weather played a great part in the food prices which were pushed higher.5.Why don't you wait until traffic eases off.41.run out2.were run down3.running through4.is running out5.ran across6.run after7.run down8.are running out of9.ran away 10.be run away11.ran into 12.ran 13.run for 14.falling apart 15.fell away 16.fall back on17.am falling behind 18.falls for 19.falling in 20.fell off21.have fallen out22.fell out 23.has fallen throughCloze1.about2.going3.how4.what5.nothing6.Yet7.else8.spending9.too 10.off 11.on 12.do 13.More 14.less 15.like 16.thoughts 17.says 18.in19.if 20.failing 21.down 22.vision 23.claiming 24.sounds 25.far e 27.which 28.health 29.who 30 soError Corrention1.as -/2.attracting -distracting3.task-task in4.when-before5.them-it6.processions-processes7.nevertheless-instead8.and - yet9.Other -Another10.quick-quicklyTranslation1.James removed the books on the small stable to make room for the TV set.2.It is reported that the fire had burned out before firemen arrived there.3.Bob sat down and get ready to write.

But in fact teachers seldom mention the main controversial issues in the contemporary academic field even though they will teach them some scientific controversies in the past. This is concerned with the science teachers who are unwilling to introduce the current debates to students, for fear that students can't readily grasp the significance of the current academic debates if they don't first master the "fundamental knowledge."However things are different.College students are able to think over these controversies and understand what they are about by capitalizing on the knowledge they have acquired. Then what can college students learn from the current controversies concerned with the unknown world?First, it can stimulate their interest and attract their attention to watch those wise and imaginative scientists debating about the future world.Second, they will come to know that many important questions concerning our knowledge on nature are still a mystery. This will lead to the recognition of ignorance which will, in turn, urge them to make greater efforts in the scientific research.。

大学英语精读第三版第二册UNIT1-6课后作文范文UNIT1While visiting India, I was invited to dinner in the home of a colonial official. During the meal, a heated argument sprang up among some of the guests. The point at issue (argument) was whether a woman could face a crisis with the same perfect self-control as a man. Suddenly I saw the hostess stare straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She silently motioned to a servant and he quickly placed a bowl of milk on the veranda. Since milk was commonly used as bait for snakes, I guessed there must be a cobra in the room. In a commanding tone I told everyone not to move a muscle. Shortly the snake emerged from under the table and made for the bowl of milk. I had thought that I was the one in perfect control, but then the hostess remarked that she had discovered the presence of the cobra when it crawled across her foot!UNIT2Jefferson lived more than 200 years ago but many of his ideas are still of value to us today. Here are some of the things he said and wrote. Go and see. Jefferson believed that books are not the only source of knowledge. Many other sources, such as on-the-spot investigation, are often of greater importance. You can learn from everyone. Jefferson was born of the highest social class, but he did not only consult people of noble birth but sought advice from people of humble origins. Judge for yourself. Jefferson held that since heaven has given each of us a mind, we should use it to judge truth and error instead of following the opinions of others blindly. Do what you believe is right. Jefferson argued that it is conflict not unquestioning agreement that keeps freedom alive. If you believe your idea is right, you must act on it with decision, regardless of resentment or criticism from your opponents. Trust the future, trust the young. Jefferson believed in change. He did not fear new ideas, nor did he fear the young. He said the earth belonged to the living generation and he looked to the future with courage and hope.UNIT3A young man, though eager to find a job, turned down a teaching post at a boys' school. During the interview he found the headmaster very unpleasant to talk with. In fact, he and the headmaster had very little in common. They disagreed sharply in their views on education, particularly on the importance of games in the education of young boys. Also, the young man found that he was expected to teach almost all subjects, including the two he hated – algebra and geometry. Worse still, he would be required to play cricket with his class on Saturday afternoons when his friends would all be enjoying themselves. He was still considering accepting the job even at the pitiful wage of twelve pounds a week, when he was told that he would be working under the headmaster's wife. In the eyes of the young man, nothing could be moreinsulting than having to take orders from a woman boss. He had to refuse the job.UNIT4The name of Albert Einstein is a household word across the civilized world. He helped mankind to understand the mysteries of the universe. But Einstein himself was a simple person without any pretension. For example, he did not use shaving cream. Instead he used only a razor and water to shave. When he worked, the only thing he needed was a pencil and some paper. When he corresponded with other people, he always used the most inexpensive stationery. It is also noteworthy that Einstein was only interested in theory. He did not care about the practical application of his ideas or the material wealth his ideas might create. Even though it was he who worked out the most famous equation in the world, E=m(c*c), he never visited one atomic reactor site to see how his theory was put into practice.UNIT5With increased economic activity all over the world, people burn more and more coal, oil and gas every day, pouring an ever-rising amount of carbon dioxide into the air. At the same time, due to the increase of population, more and more forests, which could absorb carbon dioxide, are turned into farming land, thus aggravating the greenhouse effect and causing the whole Earth to grow warmer and warmer. To stop this warming trend, every country must try to find alternative energy sources, such as solar and atomic power, and reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. At the same time, effective measures must be taken to protect whatever trees are left uncut in the world. Furthermore, new trees should be planted every year so that forests will cover more and more areas of our globe. As individuals, we can also contribute to the effort to stop global warming. In our homes, we can use energy-efficient appliances, or use solar or wind power, which don't emit carbon dioxide. We can use public transportation instead of driving a private car. We can even walk or bike to school or work. If we must drive, we can use a car that gets high mileage, or join a car pool when possible. With the joint effort of every country and every individual, we may hope to restore the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to its previous levels and prevent the disasters that threaten as a result of global weather change.UNIT6When does a physician come to know he or she is a competent surgeon? It is, according to Dr. Nolen, when that doctor has gained complete self-confidence. When he first began treating emergency cases, Dr. Nolen couldn't sleep at night because he kept worrying whether or not he had made the right decisions about his patients. But as he gained more experience, he gradually learned to accept the fact that a surgeon could not avoid an occasional mistake. This is the most difficult part of a surgeon'slife. But since he felt he was as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world, he was no longer afraid to open up a chest or abdomen. He was no longer bothered by self-doubt and uncertainty. And, at this point, he knew he already had what it took to be a great surgeon – complete self-confidence.。
