A(1) There are great excitement on the plant of Venue this week. For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the plant Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan (named after the great Venuesian astronomer Prof. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years ago).Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientist were able to get valuable information as to the feasibility of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.(2) Then Brunswick was 10 miles, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances of joy. All except Vingo.Vingo sat there stunned, looking at the oak tree. It was covered with yellow handkerchiefs-20of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like a banner of welcome billowing in the wind. As the young people shouted, the old con slowly rose from his seat and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.B(3) The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is staring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to he native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy’s eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room.Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors.The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing-bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room.(4) Jefferson’s courage and idealism were based on knowledge. He probablyknew more than any other man of his age. He was an expert in agriculture, archeology, and medicine. He practiced crop rotation and soil conservation a century before these became standard practice, and he invented a plow superior to any other in existence. He influenced architecture throughout American, and he was constantly producing devices for making the tasks of ordinary life easier to perform.Of all Jefferson’s many talents, one in central. He was above all a good and tireless writer. His complete works, now being published for the first time, will fill more than fifty volumes. His talent as an author was soon discovered and when the time came to write the Declaration of Independence at Philadelphia in 1776, the task of writing it was his. Millions have thrilled to his words: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…..”C(5) While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. 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 n teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an interview. It proved an awkward journey: a train to Croydon station; a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived on a hot June morning too depressed to feel nervous.(6) As a boy and then as an adult, I never lost my wonder at the personality that was Einstein. He was the only person I know who had come to terms with himself and the world around him. He knew what he wanted only this: to understand within his limits as a human being the nature of the universe and the logic and simplicity in its functioning. He knew there were answers beyond his intellectual reach. But this did not frustrate him. He was content to go as far as he could.In the 23 years of our friendship, I never saw him show jealousy, vanity, bitterness, anger, resentment, or personal ambition. He seemed immune to these emotions. He was beyond any pretension. Although he corresponded with many of the world’s most important people, his stationery carried only a watermark-W-for Woolworth’s.(7) And she didn’t just talk. She has been a driving force in the community organization BUILD (Baltimore United in Leadership Development). Together they drove drug dealers off a vacant lot and built a playground. They established an extended-day program at school to keep kids off the streets. They prompted the city and local churches to step up efforts to redevelop abandoned houses.Not long ago, Armstead ran into one of the men who used to hang out on her steps. “Hey, Mom!”he exploded, giving her a hug. He got a job, he told her, adding, “ I want to thank you for all your fussin’.”Armstead is modest about the impact she’s had. She says simply, “It makes me feel good to know my message got though to at least one young man.”翻译(中文意思只写了开头几个字,可以对照书上找)(她碰地)their argument ended when she slammed the door and left without a word.(出席)the guests at the dinner party were slightly surprised at the commanding tone of the American. (约翰尼)Johnny has outgrown the fear of staying at home alone. (当全部)while all the other passengers made for the exit, he alone remained in his seat as if unwilling to leave the plane . (这封信)the letter is to be handed to Dr. Wilson himself(南希)while she left like joining in the argument ,Nancy was too shy to open her mouth .(你觉得)what do you think is the likeliest time to find him at home?(猎人)the hunter’s face lit up with excitement as soon as he saw a fox emerge from among the bushes and run in the direction of/make for the trap he had laid .(会上)It was suggested at the meeting that a committee of eleven be appointed to make a new constitution .(这些青年)by making on-the-spot observations ,the young scientists obtained first-hand information they needed in their research work.(她很可能)it is very likely that he will be rejected by the army because of his bad eyesight.(委员会)the committee members have conflicting opinions as to the best location of the new airport.(亨利)和Henry’s works of art are superior in many respects to those of his brother’s.(我们产品)the steady rise in the quality of our products owes much to the improvement of our equipment.(吉姆)Jim would have preferred to act on his own judgment ,but he didn’t because as a soldier he had to obey the order.(如果)were it left to me to decide whether we should have a city without bikes or one without cars ,I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.(她在当地一家)she got a post as a cashier at a local bank ,but she was soon fired because she proved to be incompetent .(很明显)it is obviously/clearly his young assistant who is running the book store.(这项建议)no sooner had the proposal been announced at the meeting than she got to her feet to protest .(比尔)Bill has applied to Harvard university for a teaching assistantship ,but his chances of getting it are slim.(由于)being short of funds ,they are trying to attract foreign capital.(这个房间)the room smells of stale air ,it must have been vacant for a long time.(就业余)As far as hobbies are concerned, Jane and her sister have little in common .(不言而喻)it is self-evident that the education of the young is vital to the future of a country .(那小女孩)the little girl ran so fast that she was thrown off balance and fell over/down..(她致力于)she was impressed by his devotion to research but I did not have the slightest interest in his profound theories.(千万)be sure not to say anything capable of being misunderstood.(我被他们)I was so bewildered by their conflicting advice that I did not know how to act/what to do .(起初)at first, this complicated problem frustrated them ,but after thinking it over carefully they finally worked out a solution.(体育)the hand of the sports delegation beamed with delight when a young pioneer presented him a bunch of flowers .(这学期)I really don’t see why our English teacher should single out our monitor for praise since we have all done quite well this term.(我相信)I believe in the theory that the higher animals developed from the lower ones .(在当地政府)under the leadership of the local government ,the villagers rose to the serious food crisis caused by thefoods .(这个展览会)the exhibition is very popular and is attracting a steady stream of visitors .(妈妈上楼)when mom came upstairs to check on us kids ,I turned over and pretended to be asleep .(对阿姆斯来说)waging a battle against the drug pushers was a challenge to armstead ,she felt rather nervous but she decided to confront them .(老太太)the old lady told me to be cautious and not talk to the guys hanging out on the street corner .(一个卫生组织)a health organization prompted the local government to raise a three-million-dollar fund for a new hospital .

大学英语精读第二册课后习题答案大学英语精读是一门对于提升英语综合能力非常重要的课程,而课后习题则是巩固知识、检验学习效果的重要手段。
以下是大学英语精读第二册课后习题的答案,希望能对大家的学习有所帮助。
一、词汇与语法1、词汇部分的习题主要考查了学生对于新学单词的理解和运用。
例如,在单选题中,会出现对单词词义、词性、搭配等方面的考查。
比如,“accommodation”这个单词,可能会问它的常用搭配是“provide accommodation”还是“offer accommodation”。
对于这类题目,需要我们在平时的学习中多积累单词的常见用法和固定搭配。
2、语法部分涵盖了各种时态、语态、从句等知识点。
像虚拟语气这一知识点,会有这样的题目:“If I had known your address, I _____ to see you” 这时候我们要根据虚拟语气的规则,判断出应该填“would have come”。
再比如定语从句的题目,“The man _____ is talking to our teacher is my father” 这里需要我们判断先行词在从句中所做的成分,从而选择正确的关系代词,答案应该是“who/that”。
二、阅读理解阅读理解的课后习题通常包括主旨大意题、细节理解题、推理判断题和词义猜测题等。
1、主旨大意题要求我们对整篇文章有一个整体的把握,能够概括出文章的中心思想。
比如,“What is the main idea of the passage?” 我们需要通过快速浏览文章的开头、结尾以及每段的首句,来总结出文章的主旨。
2、细节理解题则需要我们仔细阅读文章,找到与题目相关的具体信息。
例如,“When did the event happen?” 这就需要我们在文中找到关于时间的具体描述。
3、推理判断题需要我们根据文章提供的信息进行合理的推断。
比如,“What can we infer from the passage?” 这时候我们不能只看文章表面的意思,而要深入思考,挖掘出隐含的信息。
