The mystery of why he failed to find it haunted him and filled him with sadness.Wherever he went-to Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, South Africa, Panama, down the coast of Central America-it was always the same story. Instead of golden palaces, there were grass huts and palm-leaf tents. Instead of silk-robed merchant princes, he found〝Indians〞who did not even have shirts on their backs.At times Clumbus became reconciled to the truth that his new land was not China, not Japan, not the spice Islands. He seemed to accept it as a part of the earth that the geographers of Europe had never heard of before. It was another world-and he called it exactly that-but Columbus also insisted until he died that the land he had reached was an unknown part of Asia.Precis writingSimone’s wedding would be the most lavish event since she was born, although her stepmother Alice often lectured her about being financially responsible. When she was preparing for her wedding, Alice always tried to stop her from spending too much money. But Simone firmly believed that her father would pay for all the costs due to his deep love for her. That being so, Simone did not take Alice’s advice and w as rude to her. Unfortunately, a special delivery arrived not long after. It was a letter from Alice. In the letter, Alice told Simone that she had bought her father’s bankrupt company when she fell in love with him. Now, however, her father was both fired and divorced. As a result, Simone was broke. Even worse, her wedding was cancelled because her fiance decided not to marry her after knowing the fact.

Money, on the other hand, is the oil that greases the wheel. Money means bussiness and it’s unsually the last topic you want to discuss when you announce your engagement.Beyond the expenses that you will incur with your wedding and honeymoon, money may provide most of the contention with your marriage. While discussions about money might seem unromantic at this moment, it’s best to talk about the future now before that marriage makes you legally bound to each other. Once you’ve said,〝I do,〞some things can’t be undone.ⅢListening comprehension1.C2.A3.C4.B5.BThe Strange Story of Lady Be GoodIt was a hot afternoon in September 1963. A small party of engineers in a truck were exploring, looking for oil in the southeastern desert of Libya. They were about four hundred miles south of the Libyan coast. The desert was hot, dry, flat and empty. The air was very clear.The men suddenly noticed a strange shape on the horizon, far away. It was a mirage, they thought. Heat and light often played tricks on their eyes. The shape looked rather like an aeroplane on the ground. But the nearest landing ground, they knew, was at their own camp, a hundred and twenty miles to the north. As they drove slowly towards it, the shape grew clearer. It really did look like an aeroplane and seemed less than twenty miles away.Two hours later the party stood beside a wartime bomber. Her name, Lady Be Good, was painted in white letters below the cockpit. She was shining in the evening sunlight, and in some ways she looked almost new.The bomber had lost her wheels, and her propellers were bent. She lay flat on the sand, but her body and wings were undamaged. The men opened a door — it opened easily — and went inside. The plane was shining inside, too. The controls, the radio, the instruments — all seemed perfect. In the small kitchen there were biscuits, tins of soup, and even some water in an airtight tank. Maps were lying on a table nearby. There were instructions to the crew and several radio reports, with dates. The dates were all in 1942.The visitors understood the tragedy of Lady Be Good. She had lost her way home, one night in 1942. She used up all her petrol and had come down in the desert. And there she had stayed for twenty-one years.She is still there. The dry, hot winds keep her clean. No rain ever falls on her in that desert. She may still be bright and shining in a hundred years’ time.But what happened to her crew? The bones of five men were later found between thirty and sixty miles north of the bomber. The remains, including the remains of four parachutes, were widely separated. The men’s names were written on small metal plates that hung down from the neck-bones.The story was clear. In case of a bad landing, the pilot had ordered his crew to jump by parachute. He himself had remained at the controls. The men had begun to walk to the north. But the desert had very quickly brought death to all of them.ⅣTranslationA.

You can always do your military service after…〞〝But dad, I’ll be drafted this year anyway,〞Tom interrupted hastily.〝So why not enlist now? My chance of getting some technical training will be better if I enlist-that makes difference , you know〞〝Well,〞broke in his father.〝You’ve had a good first year at college. This isn’t the time to quit school〞〝Dad, my freshman grades weren’t very good. I don’t think I’m able to catch up with the others. Besides, I know you hate to get into debt. I could never feel right about being a burden to you.〞Tom’s father was speechless just from listening to all this.

I remember when I was four, there was a lot of talking about countryside-going as Father’s holiday was drawing near. I was certain that this time Father would take Qiangqiang along as usual. But one morning while I was in the bedroom playing with my doll, Mother called up, “Pingping, come down.” To my surprise, Mother told me with tears in her eyes that I would be sent to my grandmother’s. I was delighted and looked everywhere for my father and for Qiangqiang, but they were nowhere to be seen. When the time came for me to leave, Mother murmured, “Pingping, try to be good. Mama and Papa are sure to come to see you soon.” It was not till then that I knew I would be going to the countryside alone, all alone. I clung to my mother, weeping tears of sadness. V.

The mystery of why he failed to find it haunted him and filled him with sadness.Wherever he went-to Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, South Africa, Panama, down the coast of Central America-it was always the same story. Instead of golden palaces, there were grass huts and palm-leaf tents. Instead of silk-robed merchant princes, he found〝Indians〞who did not even have shirts on their backs.At times Clumbus became reconciled to the truth that his new land was not China, not Japan, not the spice Islands. He seemed to accept it as a part of the earth that the geographers of Europe had never heard of before. It was another world-and he called it exactly that-but Columbus also insisted until he died that the land he had reached was an unknown part of Asia.Precis writingSimone’s wedding would be the most lavish event since she was born, although her stepmother Alice often lectured her about being financially responsible. When she was preparing for her wedding, Alice always tried to stop her from spending too much money. But Simone firmly believed that her father would pay for all the costs due to his deep love for her. That being so, Simone did not take Alice’s advice and w as rude to her. Unfortunately, a special delivery arrived not long after. It was a letter from Alice. In the letter, Alice told Simone that she had bought her father’s bankr upt company when she fell in love with him. Now, however, her father was both fired and divorced. As a result, Simone was broke. Even worse, her wedding was cancelled because her fiance decided not to marry her after knowing the fact.

Money, on the other hand, is the oil that greases the wheel. Money means bussiness and it’s unsually the last topic you want to discuss when you announce your engagement.Beyond the expenses that you will incur with your wedding and honeymoon, money may provide most of the contention with your marriage. While discussions about money might seem unromantic at this moment, it’s best to talk about the future now before that marriage makes you legally bound to each other. Once you’ve said,〝I do,〞some things can’t be undone.ⅢListening comprehension1.C2.A3.C4.B5.BThe Strange Story of Lady Be GoodIt was a hot afternoon in September 1963. A small party of engineers in a truck were exploring, looking for oil in the southeastern desert of Libya. They were about four hundred miles south of the Libyan coast. The desert was hot, dry, flat and empty. The air was very clear.The men suddenly noticed a strange shape on the horizon, far away. It was a mirage, they thought. Heat and light often played tricks on their eyes. The shape looked rather like an aeroplane on the ground. But the nearest landing ground, they knew, was at their own camp, a hundred and twenty miles to the north. As they drove slowly towards it, the shape grew clearer. It really did look like an aeroplane and seemed less than twenty miles away.Two hours later the party stood beside a wartime bomber. Her name, Lady Be Good, was painted in white letters below the cockpit. She was shining in the evening sunlight, and in some ways she looked almost new.The bomber had lost her wheels, and her propellers were bent. She lay flat on the sand, but her body and wings were undamaged. The men opened a door — it opened easily — and went inside. The plane was shining inside, too. Thecontrols, the radio, the instruments — all seemed perfect. In the small kitchen there were biscuits, tins of soup, and even some water in an airtight tank. Maps were lying on a table nearby. There were instructions to the crew and several radio reports, with dates. The dates were all in 1942.The visitors understood the tragedy of Lady Be Good. She had lost her way home, one night in 1942. She used up all her petrol and had come down in the desert. And there she had stayed for twenty-one years.She is still there. The dry, hot winds keep her clean. No rain ever falls on her in that desert. She may still be bright and shining in a hundred years’ time.But what happened to her crew? The bones of five men were later found between thirty and sixty miles north of the bomber. The remains, including the remains of four parachutes, were widely separated. The men’s names were written on small metal plates that hung down from the neck-bones.The story was clear. In case of a bad landing, the pilot had ordered his crew to jump by parachute. He himself had remained at the controls. The men had begun to walk to the north. But the desert had very quickly brought death to all of them.ⅣTranslationA.

新编英语教程第3册（李观仪主编）第三单元课后练习答案_第三单元练习册答案ComprehensionA.（P32）1. Anne Hathaway got Shakespeare’s real estate.A person’s whole property can be categorized into two kinds: real estate and personal estate. The former refers to land and buildings and the latter refers to money and other kinds of property. Shakespeare left his second best bed and furniture to his wife and the greater part of his estate to Susanna Hall.2. For Anne Hathaway and his married daughter the most interesting part of the will was his signature because without it, the will would not have been valid.Shakespeare was a popular playwright in his day and an author of high standing. There was nothing unusual in his will, but his signature in the will and other signatures were all we have left of his handwriting, so to historians it is the most important and interesting part of the will, it was not so to his wife and daughter in this sense.3. Every detail of Shakespeare’s lif e is fact as well as supposition.Many of his activities are vague to us, and he left behind a great many questions that experts have been trying to answer ever since: the exact date of his birth, the real source of his amazingly detailed knowledge of so many different subjects, his whereabouts during the seven years after departure from Stratford in 1585, the identity of the beautiful “dark lady” and the mystery about his manuscripts. We can well say that almost every detail of his personal life is based on supposition.4. Shakespeare is considered to have been born in Roman times.“Roman times”, refers to the time beginning from the first century up to the fifth century. In the text the writer is stating that many details of Shakespeare’s personal life are so vague to us that it seems as if he had been born in Roman times.5. People in every country r ead Shakespeare’s work with fear.Shakespeare was one of the literary geniuses of all times. His numerous tragedies and comedies as well as verses have won him worldwide fame. He is respected for his amazingly detailed knowledge of different subjects. People all over the world read his work with great admiration and profound respect, not fear.6. Shakespeare’s Elizabethan English is not very difficult to people who understand modern English.This is not so. Elizabethan English belongs to the period of early modern English which is quite different from contemporary English and so it is difficult to understand.7. It is a waste of time for tourists to go to Shakes peare’s birthplace.Since Shakespeare’s plays have won him great fame and since he was a literary genius rare in history, and he enjoyed such a fine reputation, it cannot be considered a waste of time to make the journey to Stratford to see his birthplace and his plays at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre because these have become things of historic interest.8. It is not surprising that Shakespeare left us nothing but his signature.Shakespeare has been acknowledged to be a great figure of the English Renaissance and one of the greatest writers the worldover. Shakespeare left us 37 plays as well as verse. During his fifteenyears as a working man of the theatre, he wrote more than thirty plays. But experts have been puzzled about the whereabouts of the manuscripts. The only actual example of his writing is the signature on his will and some other signatures.B. Explain the following in your own words.( P33)1. ... the income from the estate probably amounted to about ￡200 a year ...… in all probability (most likely), the money he made from his estate reached about ￡200 a year …2. There is no country wher e Shakespeare’s work is not read with something very like awe because there is something fascinating about a man ...People all over the world read Shakespeare’s work with a feeling of profound respect and wonderment because there is something deeply attra ctive about a person …3. ... almost every detail of his personal life is supposition rather than fact.… what we can say about almost everything to do with his personal life is based not so much on facts as on guesswork.4. ... but his activities, like those of nearly every playwright of his day, are so vague that he could have been born in Roman times.… we are so uncertain about his activities that we might as well say that he was born when the Romans occupied Britain a long time ago.5. ... had made a thriving business out of its most famous citizen for a long time.… because of it s most famous citizen, Stratford-upon-Avonhas made a lot of money for a long time.6. ... he has such a fine reputation that it is well worth the journey just to be able ...… he enjoys such high prestige that it is worthwhile to makea journey to Stratford-upon-Avon just to be able …7. … he can next be traced in 1592 in London ...… after that we know he was in London in 1592.8. Shakespeare soon became sufficiently well-known for managers and other influential people to refer to him in writing.Soon Shakespeare became so famous that managers and other powerful people often mentioned him in their writings.COMPREHENSIVE EXERCISES (P39)Ⅰ.

DictationThe Globe Theatre is a playhouse built just outside London in 1599. It is the most famous theatre in history: on its stage Shakespeare’s greatest plays were first performed. Big enough to hold about 2,500 people, the Globe had three levels of galleries surrounding an unroofed yard. Extending from one side of the yard to the centre was an open stage. From the stage floor rose two posts to support an overhanging canopy known as the“heavens”.The Globe was built in London by the Burbage brothers in 1599. At the same time, wishing to bind the Lord Chamberlain’s company closely to the new playhouse, they planned a novel partnership in which the brothers divided ownership of the Globe among themselves and five of the actors in the company, one of whom was Shakespeare.After 1609, when the company opened a second theatre, the Globe became less important. On June 29, 1613, during a performance of Shakespeare’s King Henry the Eighth, fire destroyed the Globe. It was rebuilt within a year but was destroyed again by the Puritans in 1644.Ⅲ.

On heari ng the story about Lucentio’s wedding, Baptista was _________.A. indifferentB. surprisedC. gladD. angryB. Answer the following question.How did Petruchio tame his wife before and after the wedding?Before the wedding, Petruchio’s courtship was a battle of wits, words, and wills. He was determined to make Katharina obey him in every way.For his wedding, Petruchio wore old and torn clothes and arrived late. And during the wedding ceremony he acted like a mad man, stamping and swearing.Petruchio then dragged Katharine away from the wedding feast and took her to his country home. There he gave her no food and did not let her sleep. Moreover, he pretended that nothing was good enough for her.In the end Katherina had to agree that the moon was the sun and that an old man was a woman, and she became willingly submissive to all Petruchio’s wishes.Script:( 听力内容)The Taming of the ShrewLucentio and Tranio, his servant, had journeyed to Padua so that Lucentio could study in that ancient city. On their arrival in the city Lucentio and Tranio came across Baptista and his daughters, Katharina and Bianca. These three were accompanied by Gremio and Hortensio, young gentlemen both in love with gentle Bianca. But Baptista would not permit his younger daughter to marry until someone should take Katharina off his hands. Although Katharina was wealthy and beautiful, she was such a shrew that no man would have her. Baptista, not knowing how to control his sharp-tongued daughter, announced that Gremio or Hortensio must find a husband for Katharina before either could court Bianca. He asked them also to find tutors for the two girls, that they might be skilled in music and poetry.Not being seen by Baptista and his daughters, Lucentio and Tranio witnessed this scene. At first sight Lucentio also fell in love with Bianca and determined to have her for himself. His first act was to change clothes with Tranio, so that the servant appeared to be the master. Lucentio then disguised himself as a tutor in order to court Bianca w ithout her father’s knowledge.About the same time Petruchio came to Padua. He was a rich and noble man of Verona. He had come to Padua to visit his friend Hortensio and to find for himself a rich wife. Hortensio told Petruchio of his love for Bianca and o f her father’s orders that she could not marry until a husband had been found for Katharina. Patruchio was quite interested in the stories told about bad-tempered Katharina, particularly the account of her great wealth, and he expressed a desire to meet her.Petruchio easily got Baptista’s permission to marry his daughter Katharina, for the poor man was only too glad to have his older daughter off his hands. Petruchio’s courtship was a str ange one indeed, a battle of wits, words, and wills. Petruchio was determined to bend Katharina to his will, but Katharina looked down upon him and scolded him with a sharp tongue. Nevertheless she must obey her father’s wish and marry him, and the wedding day was set.As part of the taming process, Petruchio arrived late for his wedding, and when he did appear he wore old and torn clothes. Even during the wedding ceremony Petruchio acted like a madman, stamping and swearing. Immediately afterward he dragged Katharina away from the wedding feast and took her to his country home, there to continue his scheme to break her to his will. He gave her no food and no time for sleep, while always pretending that nothing was goodenough for her. In fact, he almost killed her with kindness. Before he was through, Katharina agreed that the moon was the sun, that an old man was a woman.Meanwhile Bianca fell in love with Lucentio, whom she thought to be her tutor and they secretly married. Returning from the church with his bride, Lucentio revealed the whole plot to Baptista and the others. At first Baptista was angry at the way in which he had been tricked, but Vincentio, Lucentio’s father, spoke soothingly and soon cooled his rage.Hortensio, in the meantime, had married a rich widow. To celebrate these weddings, Lucentio gave a feast for all the couples and the fathers. After the ladies had retired, the three newly married men betted one hundred pounds each that his own wife would most quickly obey his commands. Lucentio sent first for Bianca, but she sent word she would not come. Then Hortensio sent for his wife, but she too refused to obey his orders. Petruchio then ordered Katharina to appear, and she came instantly as she was told. At his request she also forced Bianca and Hortensio’s wife to go to their husbands. Baptista was so deli ghted with his daughter’s gentleness and willing submission that he added another twenty thousand crowns to her dowry. Petruchio’s work had been well done. He had tamed the shrew forever.Ⅳ. Translation （P41）A. Translate the following sentences from Chinese into English.1. 凡是听到她不幸遭遇的人无不深表同情。

Dictation (P70)Man has a big brain. He can think, learn and speak. Scientists used to think that humans were different from animals because they can think and learn. They know now that animals can learn —dogs, rats, birds and even worms can learn. Scientists are now beginning to understand that humans are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They makenoises when they are afraid, or angry, or unhappy. Apes are our nearest cousins. They can understand some things more quickly than human beings, and one or two have learned a few words, but they are still different from us. They cannot join words or make sentences. They cannot think like us because they have no language, as we mean it. They can never think about the past or the future. Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to develop civilization largely because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five — but no animal learns to speak.

DictationUnit 1The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Sullivan, came to me. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old.On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant, I guessed from my mother’s sign and from the hurrying in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. Hanging down from the porch was sweet-smelling honeysuckle. My fingers lightly touched the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what surprise the future held for me.I felt approaching footsteps. I stretched out my hand as I supposed to my mother. Someone took it, and I was caught up and held close in the arms of her who had come to help me discover all things to me, and, more than anything else, to love me.

He wanted to change his job not because he was short of money, but because as a salesman he could hardly enjoy any leisure at all.Fred had been worried that he might lose his head and say something silly, but fortunately he found that he had a lot in common with the director.It was clear that the director was quite satisfied. Fred was thinking that his chances of landing the job were favorable when the director proceeded to ask, “Do you mind working overtime?”Précis writing (Unit 1)I applied for my first job before I entered the university because I was short money. The school where I applied for a job was ten miles away from where I lived and I was not sure if I could get the job. However, after a terrible journey I was so depressed that I no longer felt nervous. The V ictorian schoolhouse stood amid fumes and dust by a busy main road. The headmaster was not at all scholarly, neither was the inside of the academic looking. By and by I discovered that the headmaster and I had very little in common. He wanted me to teach twenty-four boys from seven to thirteen who were to be split up into three levels. I had to teach everything including the subjects I abhorred. Furthermore, I had to work on Saturdays too. The pay, however, was low. To top it all, I had to work under a woman, the headmaster’s wife, who was the real manager of the school.Dictation Unit 2The sun was getting warm as Philip put on his skates and prepared to get on the ice. At the edge of the lake the ice was still quite hard, and he did not seem to realize there was any danger, but nearer the middle of the lake the warm sun had already begun to melt the ice.After making a few practice turns, Philip set out to cross the lake at its widest point. In order to make himself go faster, he tried to race his own shadow as it fell on the ice ahead of him. When he was about half way across, the weak ice suddenly broke beneath his weight at once and he fell through it. For 20 or 30 seconds afterwards he was not even able to scream. Then at least he found his voice, shouted for help, and almost immediately afterwards blacked out.When he opened his eyes again, he was lying in bed in his own home, with his father bending anxiously over him. “Y ou should have known better than to do a silly thing like that!” were the first comfortless words he heard after his narrow escape.Translation:1.This old man lived overseas when he was young and had many unusual experiences.2.She is a well-liked physics teacher with a lot of teaching experience.3.My shoes are brand new; I’d rather stay until it clears up.4.Upon leaving the small house where she lived in her childhood, she looked her good-bye atevery familiar object around.5.He was asked to leave for Xi’an at such short notice that he didn’t even leave time to call hiswife.6.Their reluctance to join us in the speech contest really spoilt our fun.7.Please note that every student should keep classroom discipline, and you are no exception.8.I don’t care so much about working overtime occasionally, but about your calling off myholidays with no notice.9.The speaker cleared his throat to claim the attention of the audience.10.He was tired of hustle and bustle of the urban life and hoped to move to, expecting a changein his current life style.Paragraph translationWhen I was very little, I longed to go to the countryside with my father and brother, but Inever got a chance. Father went once a year during his holiday to the countryside where my grandmother lived. As a rule, he took my brother Qiangqiang with him. I remember when I was four, there was a lot of talking about countryside-going as Father’s holiday was drawing near. I was certain that this time Father would take Qiangqiang along as usual. But one morning while I was in the bedroom playing with my doll, Mother called up, “Pingping, come down.” To my surprise, Mother told me with tears in her eyes that I would be sent to my grandmother’s. I was delighted and looked everywhere for my father and Qiangqiang, but they were nowhere to be seen. When the time came for me to leave, Mother murmured, “ Pingping, try to be good. Mama and Papa are sure to come to see you soon.” It was not till then that I knew I would be going to the countryside alone, all alone. I clung to my mother, weeping tears of sadness.Dictation Unit 3Strange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into 24 zones, one hour apart for every two zones. Y ou can have days with more or fewer than 24 hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set forward. Each day of your trip has either 25 or 23 hours.If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross International Date Line. BY agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it becomes tomorrow.Dictation Unit 4The Global Theater is a playhouse built just outside London in1599. It is the most famous theater in history: on its stage Shakespeare’s greatest plays were first performed. Big enough to hold about 2,500 people, the Globe had three levels of galleries surrounding an unroofed yard. Extending from one side of the yard to the center was an open stage. From the stage floor rose two posts to support an overhanging canopy known as the “heavens”.The Globe was built in London by the Burbage brothers in 1599. At the same time, wishing to bind the Lord Chamberlain’s company closely to the new playhouse, they planned a novel partnership in which the brothers divided ownership of the Globe among themselves and five of the actors in the company, one of whom was Shakespeare.After 1609, when the company opened a second theater, the Globe became less important. ON June 29, 1613, during a performance of Shakespeare’s King Henry the Eighth, fire destroyed the Globe. It was rebuilt within a year but was destroyed forever by the Puritans in 1644.Dictation Unit 5Throughout the long period, the French showed noticeably more enthusiasm for aChannel tunnel than the British. This may seem curious, seeing that France already has many land frontiers, whereas for Britain a tunnel would be its first fixed link with the Continent, and thus more valuable. But the British were held black by their insularity, and especially by fears that an invader might be able to make use of the scheme. Happily, all that is past. Today Britain’s politicians and business circles have shown themselves as eager as the French.Those who take a wider and longer-term view believe that these possible drawbacks for Britain will be far outweighed by the advantages. Pa ssengers by express train will be able to do the journey at least an hour faster than by sir, city center to co city center, and without any tedious waits at airports. Also the fares will be cheaper. So the tunnel will probably stimulate a vast increase in tourism and business travel between London and Paris.Dictation: Unit 6Y ou probably know that there are ghost towns scattered across various parts of the United States. Perhaps you have even had opportunity to read about a ghost town or visit one. These ghost towns, which were so named because nearly all the people moved away, were once as lively as circuses. Of course, that was a long time ago.Back in the late 1800s, lots of men travelled all the way to California in search of gold. They were so hungry for gold that you could easily imagine them starving to death if they didn’t find it. In fact, some men were so greedy that they pushed their luck too far and died. It’s been said that gold fever was so bad that many men left their families and jobs in the East to follow their dream of riches in the West. Sometimes miners would find gold and silver close together. When this happened, people rushed to the area like ants to a picnic site. Houses and stores appeared almost overnight, and towns grew like weeds.Gradually, all the gold was mined and people began to move away.Précis WritingThe Chunnel, as it is known, was to open at last after seven years of construction. An apprehensive atmosphere pervaded the English end of the Chunnel Tunnel. A retired government worker and his wife voiced their strong sentiments against the forthcoming opening of the Chunnel and the French. Meanwhile, on the French side, a farmer showed his contempt for the English. But the Chunnel was to materialize, whether they like it or not.The inauguration ceremony, to be presided by the English Queen and the French President was scheduled on May 6, 1994. The Chunnel would then sever as a shuttle service, bringing great convenience to the people on both sides.On June 28, 1991, dozens of journalists took the construction workers’train to take part in the breakthrough ceremony. Work on the Chunnel was not quite finished; the walls bare, and the air filled with dust. Then, the breakthrough—light, music, applause, champagne corks popping, swarms of French workers clambering to theEnglish side and embracing the English workers. Only at this point did one Englishman feel that this Chunnel was his too. As more and more Frenchmen climbed over, he guessed that there would be a deluge of visitors after the completion of the Tunnel.Dictation: Unit 7Man has a big brain. He can think, learn and speak. Scientists use to think that human were different from animals because they can think and learn. They know now that animals can learn—dogs, rats, birds and even worms can learn. Scientists are now beginning to understand that humans are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry, or unhappy. Apes are our nearest cousins. They can understand some tings more quickly than human beings, and one or two have learned a few words, but they are still different from us. They cannot join words or make sentences. They cannot think like us because they have no language, as we mean it. They can never think about the past or the future. Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to develop civilization largely because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five—but no animals learn to speak. How do children learn? Scientists do not really know. What happens when we speak? Scientists do not know. They only know that man can speak because he has a big brain.Unit 8Dictation：Many students who call themselves bad readers nevertherless do read some thingd successfully. They may read novels or they may read the sports page every day. But a textbook is a different matter. A textbook gvies a lot of trouble. Why is that? One reason is lack of interest. Another is that they are often unfamiliar with the subject about which they are reading. But a third reason is that they try to read a textbook as if it were a novel or sports story or a problem to be solved by Ann Landers. They respond to the textbook inapropriately.How you read something depends on the author’s purpose in writing. There are basically four purposes for writing. Some authors writes to tell a story; others write to create an image in your mind; some write to inform or teach you; and still others write to convince you of a particular viewpoint. Each of these four purposes requires a defferent response as you read. If you respond differently to different types of writing, you will find that your reading will be much easier.Unit 9Dictation:Tom King could feel Sandel growing stronger against him. He saw youth recuperate. From instant to instant Sandel grew stronger. His punches, weak at first, became strong. Tom King sawthe gloved fist driving at his jaw, and wanted to guard it by raising his arm. But the arm was too heavy. It would not lift itself. Then the gloved fist landed home. Tom felt a sharp snap and blacked out.When he opened his eyes again he was in his corner, and he heard the audience screaming and cheering. His second was blowing cold waters gloves had already been removed, and Sandel，bending over him, was shaking his hand. He bore no ill will toward the man who had put him out, and heUnit 10Zululand is a historical region of northeastern Natal, which is a province in the eastern part of the Republic of South Africa. Under the former South African Government’s policy of racial separation and separate development of the race, black South Africans had been divided into “national”groups. These groups were to develop their own political, social, and cultural life in homelands assigned to them by the government.Zululand historically was the northeastern section of Natal. It was inhabited by the Zulus, a people who became powerful in the early 19th century under their king, Shaka. In the middle of the 19th century, they warred with Boer settlers who went into the area, and later with the British. In 1879, the British invaded Zululand and were defeated by the Zulus. However, the Zulus were later defeated and the British took possession of Zululand in1887. It became part of Natal in 1897.。

Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience of teaching my chances of landing the job were slim. Because I was in bad need of money and was eager to do something of use, I applied for the job. But at the same time that I did so, I was afraid that the possibility for me to get the job was very small because I didn’t have a university degree, nor did I have any teaching experience.2. ...three days later a letter arrived, summoning me to Croydon for an interview.… three days later I received a letter, asking me to go to Croydon to have an interview.3.

FIt’s a job that anyone who thinks he is qualified can apply for.6. TGuided writing ( P5 )I love travelling by train. Fast expresses, slow local trains which stop at every station, suburban trains taking businessmen to their offices and home again; I enjoy them all. It must be the element of romance that attracts me. There is no romance on motorway, which is a box of metal and rubber on a strip of concrete, or in flying through the air in a pressurized tube from one identical plastic and glass airport to another. But trains are different. On a train, you can walk around, look at the scenery, observe your fellow passengers; whereas in a plane all you can see are the clouds and the back of other people’s heads. And then there are the stations. Some, I’m afraid, have become too like airport; others, fortunately, are old and dirty, full of unexpected details and with their own individual peculiarities. Traveling by train remains an adventure, as you try to interpret the timetable, persuade the booking office clerk to sell you a ticket and understand the incomprehensible messages coming over the loudspeaker system. Then there is that delightful uncertainty as you wonder whether you are on the right train, or the right part of the train. There’s nothing like it.Precis writing ( P7 )I applied for my first job before I entered university because I was short of money.

Money, on the other hand, is the oil that greases the wheel. Money means business and it’s usually the last topic you want to discuss when you announce your engagement.Beyond the expenses that you’ll incur with your wedding and honeymoon, money may provide most of the contention within your marriage. While discussions about money might seem unromantic at this moment, it’s best to talk about the future now before that marriage makes you legally bound to each other. Once you’ve said, “I do,”some things can’t be undone.Unit 3The Globe Theater is a playhouse built just outside London in 1599.
