Lesson 1 A private conversation 私人谈话上星期我去看戏。
我的座位很好,戏很有意思,但我却无法欣赏。
一青年男子与一青年女子坐在我的身后,大声地说着话。
我非常生气,因为我听不见演员在说什么。
我回过头去怒视着那一男一女,他们却毫不理会。
最后,我忍不住了,又一次回过头去,生气地说:“我一个字也听不见了!” “不关你的事,”那男的毫不客气地说,“这是私人间的谈话!”Lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch? 早餐还是午餐?那是个星期天,而在星期天我是从来不早起的,有时我要一直躺到吃午饭的时候。
上个星期天,我起得很晚。
我望望窗外,外面一片昏暗。
“鬼天气!”我想,“又下雨了。
”正在这时,电话铃响了。
是我姑母露西打来的。
“我刚下火车,”她说,“我这就来看你。
”“但我还在吃早饭,”我说。
“你在干什么?”她问道。
“我正在吃早饭,”我又说了一遍。
“天啊,”她说,“你总是起得这么晚吗?现在已经1点钟了!”Lesson 3 Please send me a card 请给我寄一张明信片明信片总搅得我假日不得安宁。
去年夏天,我去了意大利。
我参观了博物馆,还去了公园。
一位好客的服务员教了我几句意大利语,之后还借给我一本书。
我读了几行,但一个字也不懂。
我每天都想着明信片的事。
假期过得真快,可我还没有给我的朋友们寄过一张明信片。
到了最后一天,我作出了一项重大决定。
我早早起了床,买来了37张明信片。
我在房间里关了整整一天。
然而竟连一张明信片也没写成!Lesson 4 An exciting trip 激动人心的旅行我刚刚收到弟弟蒂姆的来信,他正在澳大利亚。
他在那儿已经住了6个月了。
蒂姆是个工程师,正在一家大公司工作,并且已经去过澳大利亚的不少地方了。
他刚买了一辆澳大利亚小汽车,现在去了澳大利亚中部的小镇艾利斯斯普林斯。
他不久还将到达达尔文去,从那里,他再飞往珀斯。
我弟弟以前从未出过国,因此,他觉得这次旅行非常激动人心。
新概念英语第二册l e s s o n1A n e x c i t i n g t r i pLesson 1 A private conversation课文内容:Last week I went to the theatre. I had a very good seat. The play was very interesting. I did not enjoy it. A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me. They were talking loudly. I got very angry. I could not hear the actors. I turned round. I looked at the man and the woman angrily. They did not pay any attention. In the end, I could not bear it. I turned round again. ‘I can't hear a word!’ I said angrily.‘It's none of your business, ’ the young man said rudely. ‘This is a private conversation!’Notes on the text 课文注释1 go to the theatre,去看戏。
2 got angry,生气。
3 turn round,转身,也可用turn around。
4 pay attention,注意。
5 I could not bear it.我无法忍受。

6 none of your business,不关你的事。
参考译文:上星期我去看戏。
新概念英语第二册新概念英语第二册课后习题答案详解Lesson11.b选b最为正确。
因为a.d.都与课文内容不符合,也不合乎逻辑;c.的意思是“他们没有注意他”,而作者的意图并不是想让他们注意他,而是想让他们停止谈话。
所以选b.最能表达作者当时心里的感受。
2.c其余3个答案都与原句意思不符合。
3.b因为a.to不对,可以是He went to the theatre;c.into也不对,可以是He went into the theatre;d.on更不符合语法,表示在某一个地方用介词in或at,in表示在大的空间,如国家,城市等,at则表示在小的地点或空间,如atthe office,at the theatre 等,所以选b.是正确的。
4.db.above(在……上方);c.ahead of(在……的前面,在……之前)不和behind对应,也不强调位置的前后顺序。
a.before和 d.infront of都是和behind 对应的,都有“在……前面”的意思。
但in front of更具体的强调位置,而before则包含更宽泛的意思,即时间上,空间,次序,登记,重要性方面的“在……前面”5.c因为用 a.Where,b.why,d.when提问都不符合逻辑,都不是针对状态提问的,只有How提问,才能用Angry回答。
6.ab.they只做主语;c.their只能做定语; 虽然可以做宾语,但与前一句意思不符合。
7.da.none是代词,很少用在名词前面;b.any只能用在否定句或疑问句中;c.not any不符合语法,因为前面没有助动词did.8.ba.chair(椅子),c.armchair(手扶椅)d.class(班级)这3个选择都和seat的意思不符合。
Seat是”座位,座席”的意思。
强调的是可供坐下的地方,不是具体的椅子。
只有b.place是seat的同义词。
9.ab.big(大的)指体积;c.tall(高的)指身材;d. large(大的)指空间和面积。
