新世纪大学英语系列教材综合教程Key to the exercises unit1-4Unit1Page 11. Answers may vary. However, we can't deny that English is becoming an international language and that there is a growing need for us to communicate in English with people from other countries.2. Answers could vary from "6 to 10 years", depending on where you are from. Generally speaking, students growing up in cities start learning English 3-5 years earlier than those in the countryside. Those who don't enjoy learning English or are not motivated may find English very difficult to learn.3. Possible answers may be French, German, Japanese, Spanish, etc. One may find different reasons. Some students choose to study one specific foreign language out of their love for the literature in that language; some may like to listen to music, or watch movies in that language; some want to be able to read research papers published in that language; and many others may simply want to be able to speak the target language when traveling in that country.4. Possible useful ways may include: reading and listening as much as one can; talking to native speakers whenever possible; visiting the English Corner on campus; watching English movies; surfing the Internet, etc. Other effective ways of learning English may include: paying special attention to useful expressions and trying to use them whenever and wherever possible; learning good passages by heart; memorizing lists of words to develop vocabulary; working on a grammar book systematically to achieve accuracy and doing more writing practice.Page 31. In this monologue Alberto tells us that he likes to learn new languages and why he likes to do so. He also shares with us some ways which he thinks are helpful in learning a new language.2. Yes, he is. He is very interested in language learning because he thinks it helps broaden his mind.3. Yes, he does.

No, Will Pidcroft doesn't think that English can be mastered within a short period of time. He says that in fact English is not that easy to learn; otherwise, he wouldn't be working as an English teacher any more as there would be far less demand for trained English teachers.2. Yes, he does.3. Behaviorists believe that language learning is a kind of habit formation. So they are fond of making students repeat phrases and do exercises where they continually have to change one word in a sentence. They assume that people learn things very much like parrots and chimpanzees.4. Pidcroft thinks that interest is a very important factor in language learning. No one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he or she is interested in it.5. Parrots and chimpanzees make noises that are meaningless while the speech sounds human beings make are meaningful and they can relate them to their own lives. In other words, human beings use language to communicate.1. T2. T3. FLots of people must believe what advertisements say; otherwise, the advertisements would no longer exist.4. T5. FLiving in a country where the target language is spoken has advantages over many other methods.6. FLanguage learning must be meaningful. A parrot, however, makes meaningless noises by imitating human beings.You can approach this question from different aspects: from pronunciation, spelling, vocabulary and meaning, grammatical structures, and word order, to such global aspects as discourse structures, pragmatic appropriateness and cultural relevance.Text Bpage 16-191. carea.

第一单元-clozeHow can student do well at school ? Are straight-A students always those who are the brightest? Students are very interesting in getting answers to questions like these as achieving academic excellence is , and will always be, one of their top priorties at school.A professor of education who has recently conducted a survey on the subject revealed that top grades do not always go to the brightest students . When some basic principles are followed, everyone can become a top student.to begin with, study should always be the number one priority for a student. Study time is always guaranteed and should never be compromised for personal recreation such as movies, tv programs or snacks. In addition, learning to be organized is very important. Keeping everything in its place and filing class notes in order are two good examples.Speaking up in class and asking questions is another winning formula. A student can clarify any doubts by asking questions. Particpation in group study is another help. by framing tentative test questions based on class notes, students can help each other prepare for tests. Last but not least, always hand in neat work. A student who turns in nest work is already on the way to scoring an A.A student may suffer from different kinds of pressure at school, but if he follows these principles in his studies, sooner or later he will become a top student.第二单元-clozeMany of us these days are learning language a foreign language. We are interesting in learning another language because we know that knowledge of another language and culture will increase our career opportunities, broaden our horizons and enrich our life. Since learning a foreign language is of such importance, no doubt people are constantly looking for more efficient ways of language learning. Most people say the best way to learn language is to say in the country where it is spoken. It is true those who go to a native country have advantage over those who don't . But living abroad needs money, and not everyone can affort to do so. Those who don't go abroad may turn to language schools for nguage schools usually claim that they can teach student to speak the language they want to learn fluently within 3 to 6 months because they have more qualified teachers and better facilities. To a certain extent, a good teacher is indeed important in language learning, but it would be ridiculous to claim that any teacher has discovered a perfect way of teaching English in every possible situation. In fact, there are as many good methods of teaching a language as there are good teachers,because every teacher is an individual with his / her own personality. What a student needs to remember then is to is to find out a method that best suits himself / herself.第四单元-clozeWhen I was a child, I was really proud of heaving a father who was a well-respected doctor. I beamed whenever my teachers said that I was set to become an honorableman like my father. However, all this changed when I grew into a teenager. I felt awkward that everybody around me only remembered me as Dr.Song's son. I protested and told them that I would prefer to stand on my own two feet. However, my compliments were never taken seriously and I continued to hear compliments about me, which were really meant for my father.I then grew very stubborn and even refused to call my father "Dad." Although my father forwned whenever I called him "Lao Song" my attitude towards him, as now recall, did not change until I had a car accident one day. I hit a young man's car and panicked as he threatened to beat me up when I told him no car insurance. When I got off my car and surveyed the damage, I could not help groaning.Out of fear, I told him "I'm Dr.Song's son." At this, a sign of recognition lit up his face; he smiled and forgave me. What could have been a very difficult situation turned out to be fine just because I was Dr.Song's son. How thankful I felt towards my father.第五单元-clozeWhen a person is born, he / she has a set of personalities that make him / her different from others. Psychologists believe that colors are sometimes a good way to include how a person behaves and the way he / she responds to things that are happening to him / her. They can also represent personality traits.Nonetheless, we cannot be absolutely sure about a person's characteristics by just looking at his / her preference for certain colors.Therefore, we should not be harsh and critical toward a person just because he / she likes specific color that not represent some positive traits or characteristics. Psychologists also believe that everyone can develop or change his / her personality. For example, if an individual wants to correct his / she negative traits such as his / she has to be immature behavior, he / she has to make an effort to do so. He /She has to be persistant and keep working hard to ensure that he / she can achieve his / her goal. Therefore, if a person is determined, he / she can change the traits he / she inherits from his / her parents. The important thing is to change for the better and not for the worse.第七单元-clozeBeing a good boss has never been easy for me. The most difficult part is not about work, but about dealing with relationships at the workplace. I each and every employee in my company is significant to its development, I need to give enough attention and care to everyone ang to be approachable to all. At the start of the business, I encountered difficult situations and I was unsure what the best way was to handle them. For example, when an employee made a mistake, I hesitated about whether to scold him or her. Would I appear to be an important boss to my employees if I did so?Would they continue to make mistakes if I was too lenient? Sometimes, I had to settle disputes among the employees if they did not see eye to eye with each other on some tasks. This too was difficult. Should I blame any party or should I defend anyone? How would I bring them to see their differences and find solutions without hurting each other ? Sometimes I also encountered difficultemployees who seemed to feel miserable whatever I did for them . Life has never been easy , but I have learning the ropes along the way. The essential principle is to treat the employees sincerely, appreciate their contributions to the company and reward them according. My employees are happy to have me as their boss, and are offering me all the assistance they could . They have great enthusiasm for their word and have contributed significantly to the company's development.。

Write an essay in about 100–120 words based on your discussion in Optional Classroom Activities. You can take either of the following titles:1) I like to study on my own2) I like to study in a group2. If you didn’t do Task 3 in Optional Classroom Activities you can write an essay of around 120 words on the following topic.College Is Not an Ivory Tower▆Sample Essays for Task 1:I like to study on my ownMany of my classmates like to study together. However, I always like to study on my own, with good reasons. First, I feel that I can concentrate better when I study alone. When I have to work together with other people, I often get distracted and more often than not, I end up chatting with them without completing the task at hand. Second, when I study on my own, I can work at my own pace, choosing to spend more time on certain difficult sections and less time on less challenging parts. I can also check my class notes or reference books whenever I feel the need to. One final good advantage of studying alone is that unlike group work, self study is not restricted by time and space. In other words, if I feel like studying, I can do so at any time and anywhere. (146 words)I like to study in a groupAccording to a recent study, students who study together by discussing homework and problems usually score higher than those who work on their own. I am happy to hear that because I like to study in a group. I think we can reinforce our understanding of what we have learned in class by asking each other questions. Besides, it is always enjoyable working with someone else. A discussion on questions we don’t understand very well will help clear up any possible confusion. Last but not least, we should not ignore the importance of cooperation in our society. Working with others helps develop our team spirit, which has become essential in this modern world of ours. After all, two heads are always better than one.(125 words)▆Sample Essay for Task 2:College Is Not an Ivory TowerPeople often say that college is an ivory tower and life on campus is cut off from the harsh realities of the real world. College may have been an ivory tower before, but it is not so any more. We college students are under various kinds of pressure. First of all, most of us are burdened with a heavy tuition fee, which keeps on increasing every year. So some of us have to work over ten hours every week. Life for those who can get financial help from their parents is not easy either, as they very often have to follow their parents’ advice and take a major they don’t like. Finally those who are abo ut to graduate suffer from a different kind of pressure: hunting for a job. It is no longer easy for a college student to get a decently paid job these days.(134 words)。

Other students may say that diligent work always pays off.3) Do you think parental influence is a very important factor in a child’s academic excellence?

(Para. 16)May I point out that if we don’t leave now we shall miss the bus?Checking Your Comprehension1 Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text B.1) What does the writer mean by “brutal economy”?Para. 2 in the text provides the answer. Studying at college means a huge sum of money to pay for tuition, room and board, books andmany other expenses. A student may have a loan of up to $5,000 when he graduates, and this same student has to work both part-time and full-time whenever possible at college.2) Why are humanities courses not popular with parents?Parents want to make sure that their children have a secure future and they don’t think that humanities subjects with no “practical” value will pay off.3) What are the possible reactions of a student who suffers from peer pressure?Examples of possible reactions include:a. always thinking other students are brighter and study harder;b. studying at the library as late as possible;c. doing homework till early morning;d. getting into a panic when exams are approaching and papers are due;e. getting sick and stuck;f. oversleeping due to tiredness; andg. doing more than expected.4) Who can help to free students from the pressures they suffer from? Professors, parents, and friends can help to free students from the pressures they suffer from, but it is the students themselves who should relieve themselves of the pressures.5) Explain in your own words why, according to the text, economic pressure is closely connected with parental pressure, and peer pressure with self-induced pressure.a. Students normally find it hard to cope with different kinds of fees at college without parental help. However, when students do get financial help from their parents, they will feel obligated to follow their parents’ advice, sometimes against their own will, because after all, their parents are paying all their expenses at college.b. When a student thinks that his / her peers are brighter and study harder, he / she will push himself / herself more, which will in turn induce more pressure on himself / herself.2 Read the following statements and then decide whether each of them is true or false based on the information in the text. Write T for True and F for False in the space provided before each statement. 1)T Without parental help, a student may be expected to have a large loan to pay back after graduation.2) F Many students dream of becoming dentists.(Many students don’t want to take pre-medical courses. So they go off to their labs as if they were going to see a dentist.)3)T Knowledge in the humanities can help create leaders in all general fields.4)T Lawyers, doctors and businessmen usually earn more than most of other people.5) F Students who finish an assignment up to requirements will be given the same credits as those who have done more.(When most students are doing more than they are expected to, those who are doing normal work can be perceived as not doing well.)3 Listed in the left column are the four pressures faced by college students and in the right column are causes or consequences linked to the pressures. Relate the causes or consequences to the types of pressure by following the example given. Some causes or consequences can be related to more than one type of pressure.Types of Pressure Causes or ConsequencesA. economic pressure ( a, d )B. parental pressure a. loans to payb. taking some courses unwillinglyc. taking courses with “practical value”( b, c )C. peer pressure( e, f, g )D. self-induced pressure ( e, f, g )d. heavy tuition fees, expenses on rooms and bookse. thinking some fellow students are working harderf. staying in the library till very lateg. doing more work than required4 Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicized parts.1) But there are no villains; only victims. (Para. 1)Nobody is to blame for the pressures college students are suffering; all involved are victims.2) They go off to their labs as if they were going to the dentist. (Para. 4) Many students who are taking pre-medical courses don’t like this major at all.3) They are caught in one of the oldest webs of love and duty and guilt. (Para. 9)Parents and children are trapped in an age-old struggle between feelings of love, duty and guilt arising out of their different outlooks.4) “Will I get everything done?” (Para. 13)The student is totally worn out and has become suspicious of his / her own ability.5) Pity the poor student who is still just doing the assignment. (Para. 15) The students who just fulfill what they are asked to do are put at a disadvantaged position.6) The tactic works, psychologically. (Para. 16)Teachers are likely to give a higher credit to students who do more than expected.↑返回顶部Optional Classroom Activities1 Sit in groups of threes or fours and discuss each of the following questions.1) Do college students in China suffer from the same pressures mentioned in Text B? Are there any differences?Most students perhaps will say “yes” to this question as the four kinds of pressure mentioned in the text are also felt by Chinese university students. The only significant difference, perhaps, lies in the fact that Chinese university students enjoy more financial support from their parents than their American counterparts.2) What is your major? Who chose this major, you or your parents? Are you happy with your major so far? Give reasons.Answers will vary depending on who the student is and what family background he or she comes from.3) Are you working part time while being a full-time student? If so, why are you working part time? If not, do you think it’s good to work part time while being a full-time student?Some students in China are working part time while being full-time students. Some work because they need money to cover their expenses at college; some work because they think working experience is important for them.2 Sit in groups and discuss with your classmates the learning methods effective in achieving academic excellence you agree with.
