My assumption is sinceI have never learned Chinese grammar, what’s the sense of learning English grammar? In fact, English grammar has always been a big headache to me.English grammar is very complicated because, unlike Chinese, there are many verb tenses. Even stranger than verb tenses, English grammar also contains something very confusing. For example, I don’t remember how many times my middle school teacher tried to“impose”the differences between used to and be used to on us. Sometimes he would go on with the explanation for 20 minutes or so. He even summarized the differences by listing three or four points for us to memorize. However, they could never stay in my head . I don’t remember how many times I got it wrong with the sentences containing used to or be used to on my exams . I was really confused with these two phrases,and I can never get them right.In brief, I’m allergic to learning English grammar. Curiously, I just wonder if the native speakers of English have a microcomputer in their brain to help them utter the two phrases promptly with just a click of their brain mouse!Ex.9 E-C Translation人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言,经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。

The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters. In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form. Calligraphic works well reflect calligraph ers’ personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so forth, thus there is an expression that “seeing the calligrapher’s handwriting is like seeing the person”. As one of the treasures of Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the world’s treasure house of culture and art.Unit 2 College-The ladder to successText A The humanities:Out of date?Reading Comprehension1. because English or history majors are considered less competitive when the job market is shrinking, and they have to study something that can help them more easily locate their future jobs.2. because as the tuition is climbing higher and higher, many students have run away from studying the humanities and toward “hard” skills that they think will lead to employment.3. since more students are now taking job-oriented courses, libraries, where students of liberal arts used to study, are getting less popular than before; in contrast, labs are getting more eye-catching because students of science and engineering do experiments and research there.4. because this inner drive that can be either constructive or destructive is so mysterious and powerful that it has attracted many people to speculate on it. From ancient times, these men and women developed artistic “languages” in the form of story, music, myth, painting, architecture, sculpture, landscape and traditions, which from the very foundation of civilization.5. Studying the humanities improves your ability to read and write, makes you familiar with the language of emotion and the creative process, and, more importantly, provides you with a wide scope of possibilities that are open to you.6. Because in modern life, an ideal capacity for establishing one’s career is to have both technical knowledge and inner insight, not just one without the other.7. “Well-rounded human beings” are thos e who have insight and understand the passions, hopes and dreams common to all humanity.8. Since many people who once studied the humanities became famous in their career, the author implies that if students spend more time studying the humanities, they could surely become successful in the future as well.

Many universities have set up their own digital learning platforms, and digital teaching is playing an increasingly important role in education. Compared withthe traditional way of teaching, the digital way has a lot of advantages. Onone hand, digital teaching makes global sharing of teaching resources possible;on the other hand, it expands the learner’s study time and space to learn, allowing people to get access to the digital virtual schools through theInternet anytime and anywhere. These advantages make it possible for peopleto shift from one-time learning to lifelong learning.Unit 3 Discovery of a new life stageText A The humanities:Out of date?Ex.11. Because people in different life stages are confronted with different problems and setbacks and each group of people in a particular time period have their particular worries and pains.2.The norm refers to the general consensus that as soon as students graduated from college, they would enter adulthood and be able to find an ideal job leading to their career.3. They are recognized as a new life stage that comes after high school graduation, continues through college and leads to starting a family and havinga career.4. Because nowadays so many young people are following this new lifestyle that it has become a trend. As long as the economic situation continues its long slide, this new stage is unavoidable.5. Unlike their parents, a large number of young people are now delaying marriage, child bearing, and even employment during their odyssey years.6. They often resent the pressure they’re feeling and keep a distance from their parents or even run away from home. Many also resort to computer games, iPods, iPhones, or iPads.7. Their parents feel more anxious and upset seeing their children’s odyssey years continue to stretch without a clear direction.8. The author thinks as people are getting to know the odyssey years better, both parents and their children can tackle this phase better. For parents, they can understand their children more; for children, they can explore and discover themselves with a positive attitude.Ex.31. peculiar2. radical3. phase4. sensible5. predict6. labeled7. resent8. witnessed9. equivalent 10. parallelsEx.4-ic Chaotic dramatic academy -ion Depression detection erosion Classification confuse cooperate dictate -ist Rightist journal Ex.51. journal2. chaotic3. cooperate4. erosion5. dramatic6. confuse7. academy8. rightists9. depression 10. dictate 11. detection 12. classificationEx. 6K E A C L I G N H OEx.71. saddled with2. back off3. gives way to4. resortedto 5. make allowances for 6. wonder at 7. prior to 8.based upon/onEx. 10Filial piety is the basic code of ethics in the ancient Chinese society. Chinese people consider filial piety as the essence of a person’s integrity, family harmony, and the nation’s well-being. With filial piety being the core of Confucian ethics, it has been the moral standard for the Chinese society to maintain the family relationship for thousands of years. It’s undoubtedly a traditional Chinese virtue. The culture of filial piety is a complex concept,rich in content and wide in range. It concludes not only cultural ideas butalso institutional etiquettes. Generally speaking, it refers to the obligationof children to their parents required by the society, including respect, care, support for the elderly and so forth. Filial piety is fundamental to the ancient “Oriental civilization”.Unit 4 Dance with loveText A College sweetheartsEx. 11. The author uses this sentence to tell her own love story. She didn’t expect that she would end up marrying Butch. He became her boyfriend just because of her wish to find a cute boyfriend. She didn’t really want to marry him at the beginning.2. Because when she met up with Butch the first time, he kept staring at her all night long. He flattered her and fell in love with her at first sight. He looked really wild or maybe even dangerous.3. Because Butch had a “bad boy image” which was very tempting to a lot of girls, and his wild, dynamic personality was a little frightening. She didn’t know whether she could be getting along with him.4. Though she always had an excellent reputation in respect to her schoolwork, she thought that her college life was dull, with no fun. In her opinion, college was supposed to be a time of great learning and also of some fun.5. Because she was becoming more interested in him and she wanted to find out if she was the “right” date in the eyes of Butch, thinking of herself as a traditional girl.6. It means that Butch didn’t want to do anything to change his bad situation. The word fate here refers to the fact that Butch was going to be expelled from the university.7. Though Butch was wild and would sometimes display directly his love in front of her friends, he was always a perfect gentleman at his core. And they hada pure and responsible relationship for seven years.8. The author and her husband’s faithful journey of love that started witha causal attraction but bloomed into a mature love proves that romantic love can last long through the ups and downs in life.Ex. 31. confess2. tempting3. commence4. coordinating5. granted6. deserved7. displayed8. consequently9. lodged 10. proceedEx. 4-edContented compress complicate -ionIdentification justification qualificationIllustration exhibit extension Interpretation plantation perceptionEx. 51. qualifications2. perception3. plantations4. compressed5. exhibit6. contented7. interpretation8. complicate9.illustration 10. extension 11. identification 12. justificationEx. 6N B G I H L E M K CEx. 71. on her behalf2. took the liberty of3. immune to4. werefilled with 5. fall in love with 6.

Every year, some big businessesorganize various activities, and young people send gifts to their lovers. Asa result, the Qixi Festival is considered to be Chinese “Valentine’s Day”.The Qixi Festival is derived from the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid. Thelegend holds that on this particular night every year the Weaving Maid in heavenmeets with Cowherd. So, people can see Cowherd and Weaving Maid meeting in theMilky Way on the night of Qixi. On this night, girls would also beg WeavingMaid for some wisdom for a happy marriage. But, with the changing of times,these activities are diminishing. All that remains is the legend of Cowherdand Weaving Maid, a sign of faithful love, continuously circulated among thefolk.Unit5 The money gameText A Spend or save-The student’s dilemmaEx.31. contradict2. paradox3. perspective4. explicit5. suspended6. derive7. defy8. retains9. manipulating 10. tackleEx4-er browse browsermessage messenger consumer consume -ion negotiatenegotiation object objection react reaction constitute constitution cultivate cultivation define definition expand expansion concentration concentrate civilization civilizeEx.51. concentrated2. messenger3. civilized4.

This trade route focuses on the trade of silk, hence the name “the Silk Road”. As an international trade channel and a bridge of cultural exchanges, the Silk Road effectively improved the economic and cultural exchanges and development between the East and the West, exerting a profound impact on the progress of the world civilization. Nowadays, under the new historical circumstances, our country proposes the strate gy of “One Belt, One Road”(namely the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime SilkRoad). The strategy of “One Belt, One Road” focuses on cooperation and mutual benefits, emphasizing mutual benefits, win-win, as well as common development of the related countries. Once proposed, the strategy has received positive responses from the related countries along the road.Unit6 Less is moreText A Door closer,are you?Reading comprehension Understanding the text11 He was imposing on his troops a necessary sacrifice to achieve victory over their opponents. By doing this, the soldiers would be more determined and concentrated on the battles.2 The purpose for the experiment is to investigate seemingly irrational human behavior when making a decision, such as the tendency for keeping multiple options open.3 The experiment enabled people to see why it's always so hard for them to say "NO" to any opportunities that came to them. In everyday life, people just give excuses to keep options open.4 Students should quickly check all the doors and keep clicking on the one with the highest cash. They should absolutely ignore the vanishing doors.5 Because we can see that the students didn't really focus on ensuring future cash earnings. What they tried to avoid was the immediate pain of watching options close.6 Because in life the doors are closing slowly, not like the ones on the computer in the experiment, people don't really see the opportunities actually vanishing away little by little.7 He suggests that people should prohibit overbooking, reduce options, delegate tasks to others, and even give away ideas to others to pursue.8 People can obtain pleasure and satisfaction by focusing their energy andattention in a more concentrated fashion. They will have more with fewer,carefully chosen options.31 implement2 rival3 motivating4 discarded5 fluctuating6 prejudiced7 restore8 enlightening9 profit 10 investigateWord building 4 Words learned New words formed-ic strategy strategic sympathy sympathetic -ion confirmconfirmation locate location reflect reflection provide provision install installation register registration quotation quote -ize sympathysympathize critic criticize industrialindustrialize51 sympathize2 confirmation3 strategic 4installation 5 quote 6 sympathetic 7 criticize 8 location 9 reflection 10 industrialize 11 provision 12 registration Banked cloze61 M2 D3 H4 05 F6 L7 I8 C9 J 10 AExpressions in use 7I was attached to 2 be measured in 3 come in handy 4 clinging to 5pay a big price 6 are exhausted from 7 imposed on 8 revolve around10National Happiness Index (NHI) is an index that measures how happy people are.It is also a tool that measures the levels of economic development and people'slivelihood and happiness in a country or region.

The governmentstresses improvement of its people's livelihood, striving to improve their economic conditions and meet their growing material and cultural needs. Currently, the Chinese government advocates the unleashing of more reform dividends, with the aim of offering more real benefits to its people. All these measures will combine to effectively increase the NHI of our people.Unit7 Women:Making a differenceTextA Women at rhe management level3.Words in use1. harness2.symbolic3.disposed4.flourishing5.violated6.accommodation7.inferpose9.plausible 10.toleranceWord building 4.-al/-ial fate fatal horizon horizontal mechanic mechanical occasion occasional proportion proportionan logical logic deny denial commercial mommerce -ity relative relativity prior priority continue continuity actual actuality5.1.actuality2.mechanical3.logic4.denial5.Occasional6.fatal7.continuity 8.relativity 9.priority merce 11.proportional12.horizon6.1.D2.J3.M4.H5.

Embroidery, with at least two or three thousand years of history, is one of the Chinese traditional folk arts and crafts. Since most embroiderers are women, it's also called "women's needlework". Embroidery hasbeen much-loved by the Chinese people. It can be used to beautify clothing and things. For example, clothes, quilts, pillowcases etc. can be embroidered with beautiful designs, or a piece of embroidery can be made for a special ornament. There are four most famous types of embroidery in China: Suxiu from Suzhou, Yuexiu from Guangdong, Xiangxiu from Hunan, and Shuxiu from Sichuan, each having its own style and theme. Among the four, Suzhou embroidery has enjoyed the highest reputation.Unit 8 Human rights vs. Animal rightsText A Animals or children?-A scientist’s choice understanding the text: 1. He became a children’s doctor because of this love for children and his strong desire to keep them healthy.2. He is thought of having no moral compass: He tortures innocent animals for his career advancement and his experiments having nothing to do with medicine.3. The public barely watches, convinced that the issue has no significance to them, while the senator and politicians continue to give way to the lobbying of animal rights activists4. The author does not really admit their mistake, but the tone is apparently ironic, criticizing that the physicians were too soft to respond to the animal rights activists.5. Life is cruel to both animals and human beings . if the physician don’t create an animal model of the problem, they have to do experiments on human beings, or the medical knowledge will remain static.6. Drugs to cure infection will remain undiscovered, surgical and diagnostic techniques will remain undeveloped, and fundamental biological processes will remain mysteries.7. Because protection from serious sickness and drugs as well as most complex surgical procedures were initially developed in animals instead of human beings8. If the more radical members of this movement are successful in threateningfurther research, their efforts will bring about a tragedy that will cost thelives of many human beings.

Because she was pleasantly surprised that female bosses are much more accessible to their employees and much more sensitive and intimate with their employees.Because there are still some people, both men and women, who report that they have a low tolerance for female bosses.Her working style is more flexible, understanding, willing to give power to others and seek consensus, and more team-oriented.Studies suggest that men are typically hierarchical, goal-oriented and feel entitled. Women, by contrast, manage diplomatically and share power.While women may feel more comfortable with a female boss, men often have to spend a long time making concessions to the new working styles.This example shows the conflicting male-female working styles, their entirely different ways of thinking, and their opposite attitudes toward the same situations.Because she thinks that it stems from the whole social context of traditional roles for men and women. Men are more authoritative than women, thus demanding more power than women.Though a few decades ago there were fewer female bosses in leading positions, women could now be perceived to work together with men to create the best management style.Men: strong, tough, stubborn, direct, hierarchical, distant, cold, impatient, rough, goal-oriented, rational, decisive, top-down.?

Their management style tends tobe more communicative and relationship-oriented.One example of their management style is being more communicative.Women usually have greater verbal ability and verbal comprehension than men. Their speaking skill is actually innate – born with it. Since they are usually more supportive, more inclined to delegate responsibilities and more willing tofoster the careers of their employees than their male counterparts, they communicate more efficiently. As a result, employees are happy to share ideas with their female boss and feel excited to have their voice heard in making decisions.Another example of women's natural management style is being more relationship-oriented. As we well understand, women are more emotionallyand spiritually intelligent. This gives them the potential to be a more understanding boss than men. They know how to motivate their employeeswith human touches such as "get well" cards and "thank you" notes. They also know when to make concessions and accommodate their employees' personal needs because they are not as rigid and stubborn as male bosses. Employees,of course, enjoy such a relationship with their female boss.In brief, women's natural management style helps them succeed in their workplace. The fact that women are brought up to have verbal skills and emotional intelligence is a huge advantage. It's their strength and they need touse it more instead of disguising themselves.婚纱礼服的颜色和款式可取决于婚礼参与者的宗教和文化。

The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters. In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form. Calligraphicworks well reflect calligraphers’ personal fee lings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so forth, thus there is an expression that “seeingthe calligrapher’s handwriting is like seeing the person”. As one of the treasures of Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the worl d’s treasure house of culture and art.Text B The great journey of learning2. Understanding the textD. 2.

From ancient times, these men and women developed artistic “languages” in the form of story, music, myth, painting, architecture, sculpture, landscape and traditions, which from the very foundation of civilization.5. Studying the humanities improves your ability to read and write, makes you familiar with the language of emotion and the creative process, and, more importantly, provides you with a wide scope of possibilities that are open to you.6. Because in modern life, an ideal capacity for establishing one’s career is to have both technical knowledge and inner insight, not just one without the other.7. “Well-rounded human beings” are those who have insight and understand the passions, hopes and dreams common to all humanity.8. Since many people who once studied the humanities became famous in their career, the author implies that if students spend more time studying the humanities, they could surely become successful in the future as well.

Many universities have set up their own digital learning platforms, and digital teaching is playing an increasingly important role in education. Compared with the traditional way of teaching, the digital way has a lot of advantages. On one hand, digital teaching makes global sharing of teaching resources possible; on the other hand, it expands the learner’s study time and space to learn, allowing people to get access to the digital virtual schools through the Internet anytime and anywhere. These advantages make it possible for people to shift from one-time learning to lifelong learning.Unit 2 TextB What college bring us?Ex 11.

Because people in different life stages are confronted with different problems and setbacks and each group of people in a particular time period have their particular worries and pains.2.The norm refers to the general consensus that as soon as students graduated from college, they would enter adulthood and be able to find an ideal job leading to their career.3. They are recognized as a new life stage that comes after high school graduation, continues through college and leads to starting a family and having a career.4. Because nowadays so many young people are following this new lifestyle that it has become a trend. As long as the economic situation continues its long slide, this new stage is unavoidable.5. Unlike their parents, a large number of young people are now delaying marriage, child bearing, and even employment during their odyssey years.6. They o ften resent the pressure they’re feeling and keep a distance from their parents or even run away from home. Many also resort to computer games, iPods, iPhones, or iPads.7. Their parents feel more anxious and upset seeing their children’s odyssey years continue to stretch without a clear direction.8. The author thinks as people are getting to know the odyssey years better, both parents and their children can tackle this phase better. For parents, they can understand their children more; for children, they can explore and discover themselves with a positive attitude.1. peculiar2. radical3. phase4. sensible5. predict6. labeled7. resent8. witnessed9. equivalent 10. parallels-icChaotic dramatic academy-ionDepression detection erosionClassification confuse cooperate dictate-istRightist journal1. journal2. chaotic3. cooperate4. erosion5. dramatic6. confuse7. academy 8. rightists 9. depression 10. dictate 11. detection 12. classificationEx. 6K E A C L I G N H O1. saddled with2. back off3. gives way to4. resorted to5. make allowances for6. wonder at7. prior to8. based upon/onThe odyssey years are certainly a very complicated phase of life for young people. Not only do these young people need to overcome many difficulties, they also have to face many challenges from their parents. The differences between parents and children can be well observed in their completely different attitudes and views.First, they differ in their attitude toward life. Parents always wonder what has gone wrong with the new generation. They feel that during their time, young boys and girls were better behaved, more obedient and had greater respect for elders. Young people, on the other hand, feel that they are capable enough to learn on their own rather than lean heavily on the older generation for guidance. Young people do not like to be spoon-fed by their parents.The differences also appear in the way the two generations look at things. For example, the parents’ generation never understood Elvis and the Beatle s. Because they couldn’t understand what was going on, they were frequently opposed to them and saw rock as “the devil’s music”. Young people, however, are crazy about the modern music and would love to listen to it for a hundred times a day. Wherever they go, they’ll have their iPod with them.In conclusion, it’s very difficult for parents and their youngsters to get along due to their distinctive attitudes and the way they view things. To fill this gap, both parents and their grown children need to be more understanding to each other.动做好国文化价格体系的一个要害组成部分,“部分主义”受到大普遍好国人的推崇. 好国人认为家庭动做一个集体,其主要手段是促进家庭各成员的幸运.取许多其余文化相比,好国家庭成员的主要工做,出有是正在社会上或者经济上普及所有家庭的职位. 人们常常认为,什么是对于部分最佳的要比什么是对于家庭最佳的更为要害.取自由相陪而去的是照应自己的责任,果为所采用的自由装载了责任,即必须担当自己的采用所戴去的成果.许多好国人给他们的孩子很多的自由,果为他们期视孩子们不妨独力战自力更死.正在好国人强调部分自由的共时,女母取孩子间仄等的疑奉也对于好国家庭爆收了巨大的效率.Ex. 10Filial piety is the basic code of ethics in the ancient Chinese society. Chinese people consider filial piety as the essence of a person’s integrity, family harmony, and the nation’s well-being. With filial piety being the core of Confucian ethics, it has been the moral standard for the Chinese society to maintain the family relationship for thousands of years. It’s undoubtedly a traditional Chinese virtue. The culture of filial piety is a complex concept, rich in content and wide in range. It concludes not only cultural ideas but also institutional etiquettes. Generally speaking, it refers to the obligation of children to their parents required by the society, including respect, care, support for the elderly and so forth. Filial piety is fundamental to the ancient “Oriental civilization”.Unit 3 Text B Finding my way back homeUnderstanding the text 21. A2. C3. D4. A5. B6. D7. D8.

The author uses this sentence to tell her own love story. She didn’t expect that she would end up marrying Butch. He became her boyfriend just because of her wish to find a cute boyfriend. She didn’t really want to marry him at the beginning.2. Because when she met up with Butch the first time, he kept staring at her all night long. He flattered her and fell in love with her at first sight. He looked really wild or maybe even dangerous.3. Because Butch had a “bad boy image” which was very tempting to a lot of girls, and his wild, dynamic personality was a little frightening. She didn’t know whether she could be getting along with him.4. Though she always had an excellent reputation in respect to her schoolwork, she thought that her college life was dull, with no fun. In her opinion, college was supposed to be a time of great learning and also of some fun.5. Because she was becoming more interested in him and she wanted to find out if she was the “right” date in the eyes of Butch, thinking of herself as a traditional girl.6. It means that Butch didn’t want to do anything to change his bad situati on. The word fate here refers to the fact that Butch was going to be expelled from the university.7. Though Butch was wild and would sometimes display directly his love in front of her friends, he was always a perfect gentleman at his core. And they had a pure and responsible relationship for seven years.8. The author and her husband’s faithful journey of love that started with a causal attraction but bloomed into a mature love proves that romantic love can last long through the ups and downs in life.Ex. 31. confess2. tempting3. commence4. coordinating5. granted6. deserved7. displayed8. consequently9. lodged 10. proceed Ex. 4-edContented compress complicate-ionIdentification justification qualificationIllustration exhibit extensionInterpretation plantation perceptionEx. 51. qualifications2. perception3. plantations4. compressed5. exhibit6. contented7. interpretation8. complicate9. illustration 10. extension11. identification 12. justificationEx. 6N B G I H L E M K CEx. 71. on her behalf2. took the liberty of3. immune to4. were filled with5. fall in love with6.

Every year, some big businesses organize various activities, and young people send gifts to their lovers. As a result, the Qixi Festival is considered to be Chinese “Valentine’s Day”. The Qixi Festival is derived from the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid. The legend holds that on this particular night every year the Weaving Maid in heaven meets with Cowherd. So, people can see Cowherd and Weaving Maid meeting in the Milky Way on the night of Qixi. On this night, girls would also beg Weaving Maid for some wisdom for a happy marriage. But, with the changing of times, these activities are diminishing. All that remains is the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid, a sign of faithful love,continuously circulated among the folk.Unit 4 Text B Saving the dateReading Skills11.

However, some people think the purpose of life is to enjoy moment, so they spend all they have earned. Even though Bryan and Peter are close friends, their spending habits are very different.Bryan is very careful about using his pocket money. He only spends money when it’s necessary. For example, when his pocket money is only $50,he may spend $20 on necessary stationery for schoolwork. He will try to deposit the remaining $30 in his savings account. In his opinion, though the amount is small, it will help him for a possible rainy day since people never know what could happen in the future.Unlike Bryan, Peter usually spends money at will. He often purchases expensive electronic products such as an iPhone and iPad. Sometimes, he might buy himself an expensive brand-name shirt or a pair of expensive brand- name shoes. Different from Byan, he never deposits extra money in a bank after meeting his basic needs. To him, saving money in a bank is something silly because he believes that he can always earn big money after he gets a decent job in thefuture.All in all, Bryan and Peter are very different in the way they spend money. Spending money wisely and saving extra money for future urgent needs enable students to manage their finance and fully concentrate on their study. They will also derive great pleasure from the way they handle their money.大创造年代,也被称为大勘探年代,是欧洲举止寰球勘查的一个履历时期,初于15世纪初并向去持绝到18世纪. 那一时期常常被认为是中世纪战近代之间的桥梁,当时西圆帝国主义刚刚兴盛,欧洲各王国之间正正在经济上互相比赛,他们念通过修坐交易门路战殖民天去觅找财产. 正在那一时期稠密伟大的探险家中,最良好的是克里斯托弗•哥伦布,果为他创造了新大陆.欧洲的海中扩弛引导了殖民帝国的兴起,旧大陆取新大陆的交战也促进了二边的互相接换:洪量的动物、动物、食物、文化等得到迁移.那代表了履历上死态、农业战文化正在寰球范畴内最要害的活动之一.欧洲大勘探让画造寰球性的天下天图成为大概,进而使人们瞅到一个新的天下取陈腐的文化正遥相呼应.The Silk Road is a traffic route in the ancient times connecting China and Eurasia. This trade route focuses on the trade of silk, hence the name “the Silk Road”. As an international trade channel and a bridge of cultural exchanges, the Silk Road effectively improved the economic and cultural exchanges and development between the East and the West, exerting a profound impact on the progress of the world civilization. Nowadays, under the new historical circumstances, our country prop oses the strategy of “One Belt, One Road”(namely the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road). The strategy of “One Belt, One Road” focuses on cooperation and mutual benefits, emphasizing mutual benefits, win-win, as well as common development of the related countries. Once proposed, the strategy has received positive responses from the related countries along the road.Unit5 Text B A$3,000 dictionaryReading Skills12.
