全新版大学英语综合教程二unit1-unit8选词填空cloze答案Unit 1Is there a contrast between learning styles in China and the West? While we should be careful to avoid exaggerating the differences, they do appear to exist. In China, for example, greater priority is given to developing skills at an early age. The Americans, on the other hand, place more emphasis on promoting creativity in young children, leaving them to pick up skills later. American parents tend to avoid rushing in to assist their children as they try to accomplish a task, thinking in better that children should learn to solve problems by themselves. Such an approach can, on occasion, be mistaken for neglecting one’s parental duties by those more used to “teaching by holding the hand.” Both approaches have their disadvantages as well as advantages, and it may well be worthwhile to search for a superior method that would combine the best of both worlds.Unit2If you visited Karl Green, you might not at first sight think he was well-off . Most of what he owns is rather dated and he will readily admit to falling into the bottom income bracket . Yet he would deny that he is poor, for he feels that his life is full of less tangible riches . Rather than devoting himself to the pursuit of money before all else, he cherishes the pleasures of friendship. His lack of interest in possessions does, however, sometimes make him feel out of place in today’s materialistic society and he still clearly feels hurt when he remembers the abrupt departure of a girlfriend who did not share his views. Yet there are many who admire him, particularly for his focus on helping the poor through collecting donations each Christmas. Unit3Our dad is typical of the older generation. You can certainly say he gives our welfare his constant attention. Sometimes, however, we wish he wouldn’t try quite so hard. To be frank, he seems to have a talent for embarrassing us by making dumb remarks. He should know better than that,but he never seems to learn and just goes on making the same old mistakes repeatedly . The result is that we live in constant dread of his well-intentioned interference in our affairs. Mom is no help, as you can bet she will always see things from his point of view rather than from ours. Overall, though, he’s awonderful dad and I assure you I wouldn’t trade him for anyone in the world.Unit 4With the Internet we can escape into another world at the click of a button. For many this virtual world is a dream come true. They find they can do away with the daily routines and stay inside for weeks and everything from home. Other, however, may find the virtual world a nightmare . It is especially annoying when the Internet connection is slow and everything crawls at a snail’s space. The computer does not take in your messages nor does it spit out data . Still others, who get the virtual world, may find communicating face-to-face too emotional and unbearable. At times they feel this so strongly that they have to flee from real human contact, hurrying to get back on line to the comfort and safety of a less demanding world.Unit5The following is how Michael Stone looks back on that day's competition.In my mind's eye I can see every detail of that pole vault. The bar was set at a new height.As I heard the crowd groan,I knew my competitor had failed to clear it.It was time for my mind with anxiety.I was tense and my palm began to sweat . I tried to shake off the tension, but was unsuccessful. At the critical moment, I remembered my mothe's advice to breathe deeply and brought myself under control . Then I was off , up and away, Soaring like an eahle , just as I did in my recurring dreams. The thump of my landing brought me back to earth. I had done it! This was no mere tantasy, but the real thing. All the sweat and hard work had paid off. Friends were rushing to congratulate me and I was surrounded by numerous clicking cameras of the media.Unit6Isn’t it strange how chance can play such a large part in what we become? If Carolyn hadn’t stumbled into that engineering course, she would never have become an engineer. At the time she did not know the first thing about anything mechanical. But when it comes to hard work, she is no stacker. She threw herself into study and joined in the project to make a hybrid vehicle. She admits that she often found studying math difficult, but she gritted her teeth and got on with it, working on the premise that math is a hard subject for most people. Girls, she argues, are no more at a disadvantage in this respect than boys. Nonetheless, she still had moments of panic when she found making progress particularly difficult.Carolyn concludes that we should not allow cultural expectations tolimit our horizons, for we are far more flexible in what we can achieve than they would imply.Unit7A fascinating feature of the English language is its tolerance of new words and phrases, either borrowed or invented.There exists no authority to examine each new addition to the language, to determine what is acceptable and to ban what is not. True, some people do think that borrowed words corrupt the language. They think the language is running out of control. At one time, influenced by the intellectual elite in France, some people came up with the idea of establishing an academy to maintain the purity of the English language. Fortunately the idea never took hold. Massive borrowing from a rich, variety of sources was, as a result, left free to greatly enrich the language.Unit8Rachel Carson provides a vivid description of an American town that seemed to be living under a wicked spell (1) .The town was stricken(2) by a whole series of misfortunes(3).Its surroundings(4),once full of apple blossom(5)and the song of migrant(6)birds,had changed dramatically.

Some felt that perhaps they had no one to blame but themselves for ceasing to live in harmony with (12) nature.。

选词填空（15选10）Botany, the study of plants, has a highly valued position in the history of human knowledge. From what we have 1) observed of preindustrial (工业化以前的) societies, a detailed study of plants must have been pretty ancient. Plants are the 2) basis of food for all living things, even for some other plants. They have always been 3) enormously important to human beings, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, medicines, shelter, and many other 4) purposes. People who lived in the jungle of the Amazon can recognize a wide 5) range of plants and know their properties. To them, botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of “knowledge” at all.However, 6) unfortunately, the more industrialized we become, the farther away we move from direct contact with plants. Now not many people have a reasonable 7) amount of botanical knowledge. About10,000 years ago, when our ancestors 8) discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds could be planted the next season, the 9) bond between plants and humans was formed. As a result crops were 10) cultivated. From then on, humans live on the production of plants.A) uncovered B) discovered C) cultivated D) exploredE) observed F) range G) chain H) bondI) amount J) number K) resources L) basisM) purposes N) enormously O) unfortunately参考答案：1) observed 2) basis 3) enormously 4) purposes 5) range 6) unfortunately 7) amount 8) discovered 9) bond 10) cultivatedSome people argue loudly that putting the bright and the not-so-bright children in the same class can have a bad effect on their development. According to them, it canalso be quite 1) discouraging for those at the bottom of the class, but we think 2) otherwise.We believe it is definitely unfair to 3) classify our children just according to their 4) intellectual abilities. There are quite a lot of 5) disadvantages in doing so. Besides, it is against our educational purposes to develop the abilities of all our children to the full.However, in a mixed-ability class, there are various ways to help all children develop. Children often work in groups, which gives them the 6) opportunity to learn to share, to work together, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to make 7) decisions, to solve personal relationship problems as well as how to think and to communicate 8) effectively. Our children learn to do their best and we can give them extra encouragement to 9) attain the goal. Therefore, both their personal experiences and social skills are 10) enriched since they can learn from the teacher as well as from each other in a mixed-ability class.A) injuries B) disadvantages C) opportunity D) decisionsE) projects F) enriched G) classify H) intellectualI) acquire J) attain K) discouraging L) frighteningM) opposite N) otherwise O) effectively参考答案：1) discouraging 2) otherwise 3) classify 4) intellectual 5) disadvantages 6) opportunity 7) decisions 8) effectively 9) attain 10) enrichedMelting sea ice and the earlier-than-normal movement of walruses (海象) have made scientists worried. Researchers 1) anticipate that this year might bring another mass migration of animals to shore.Walruses 2) live on shellfish (贝类动物) and other animals they find by diving to the seafloor. Normally, the walruses, 3) particularly females with baby walruses, reston the floating sea ice during the summer. However, because of the global warming sea ice melts away and 4) vanishes over the relatively shallower waters where the walruses can feed. The 5) remaining ice stays only over water that is so deep that the walruses cannot dive down to the bottom for food. When this happens, the animals 6) stream back onto the land near shallower water.In recent years, researchers have found unusual 7) surges of mass migration have happened at an 8) incredible level, with walruses gathering in a(n) 9) immense number of more than 40,000. This can 10) strain the local ecosystem (生态系统) as the animals feed in a limited space, and many, generally the little walruses, get killed because it is too crowded. A recent study proved that the loss of sea ice was forcing more animals to swim longer distance, bringing danger to the life of their little ones.A) flow B) anticipate C) liveD) vanishesE) rushes F) immense G) incredible H) particularlyI) stream J) await K) strain L) finishesM) surges N) remaining O) believable参考答案：1) anticipate 2) live 3) particularly 4) vanishes 5) remaining 6) stream 7) surges 8) incredible 9) immense 10) strainIf you feel a shortage of energy, join our Health Club. Fatigue is common for people to 1) complain of to their doctors. In such cases, you should take a look at the causes for your tiredness and learn how you can get rid of it.Firstly, if you have to work hard 24 hours a day, seven days a week with high 2) efficiency, you will feel tired and bored. The 24/7 push to be productive can wear you out both physically and 3) emotionally. Your brain needs a break. You can have mini-breaks that will cheer you up and make your routine a little less routine.Secondly, if you sit staring at a screen for long periods of time you tend to blink(眨眼) less frequently and 4) strain your eyes. Your eyes need a break. Stand up once in a while to 5) stretch your legs and arms. Frequent breaks with long 6) strides to your nearby parks will keep your body active and reduce eyestrain.Finally, gaining as little as five pounds of weight can cause 7) fatigue. Extra weight also puts extra burden on your heart, which makes you tired. You can 8) dump the habit of eating junk food and 9) reverse yourself to the basics of healthy eating.

Scientific activity is one of the main features of the modern world and, perhaps more than any other, makes our times 1) distinct from earlier centuries. Scientific research 2) involves different people doing different kinds of work. Men and women of all national backgrounds 3) participate in science and its applications. These people may focus on their efforts on 4) commitment to scientific knowledge either for theoretical development or for a particular practical purpose.As a social activity, science 5) reflects social values and viewpoints. For example, before the 20th century, women and people of color were not allowed in most of science by limiting their education and employment 6) opportunities. The 7)remarkable few who overcame (克服) those difficulties were unlikely to receive 8) due respect in the field of science.Meanwhile, the direction of scientific research is affected by influences within the culture of science itself, such as the opinion on what questions are most interesting or what methods are most likely to 9) yield good results. Scientists present their findings and theories at meetings or in scientific magazines. This 10) enables scientists to inform others about their work, to expose their ideas to criticism by other scientists, and to keep updated with scientific developments around the world.A) participate B) return C) enables D) involvesE) due F) applicable G) opportunities H) commitmentI) yield J) reflects K) enrich L) evolveM) remarkable N) distinct O) assignment参考答案：1) distinct 2) involves 3) participate 4) commitment 5) reflects 6) opportunities 7) remarkable 8) due 9) yield 10) enablesNormally we instinctively enter a state of disagreement whenever we come across undesirable things, and the unpleasant feeling of disagreement is often 1) overwhelming. This is our reaction (反应). Why not try non-reaction to 2) shield us from it? For instance, next time you feel too hot, instead of fanning yourself or turning on the air-conditioner, see if you can just sit and arouse the feeling of being warm in a positive way for a few minutes. With a bit of practice, you can put up with or even 3) ignore almost anything disagreeable to you that you might run into physically. Once you’re used to the non-reaction method with physical feelings, then you can 4) apply the same technique to less concrete things: emotions or situations. Instead of bringing any reaction against them, you can take and accept it with 5) grace and cool-headedness. Then, you will be free from the 6) awful emotional strain ofneeding to escape. When we have learned to 7) embrace undesirable feelings as if we had chosen them, the 8) negative circumstances will lose their effect over us. So remember, life becomes much more 9) agreeable when you stop disagreeing with it. Keep doing this and you’ll recognize the incredible 10) potential in non-reaction and feel comfortable with it.A) apply B) embrace C) cover D) accessibleE) overwhelming F) negative G) capacity H) potentialI) adopt J) shield K) ignore L) agreeableM) opposing N) awful O) grace参考答案：1) overwhelming 2) shield 3) ignore 4) apply 5) grace 6) awful 7) embrace 8) negative 9) agreeable 10) potentialA variety of conditions can affect the success or failure of negotiations (谈判).

If one party is unwilling for the negotiation, the 1) potential for reaching any agreement will certainly 2) decrease.Second, people must get ready to discuss. When there is not enough information 3) available, or a negotiation strategy unprepared, people may be 4) reluctant to begin the discussion.Third, both parties must have enough interests in common to 5) commit themselves to a shared decision-making discussion. For people to settle disagreement, they must have some means to 6) influence the attitudes and behavior from the other party. To 7) effect a change, they may provide needed information and seek the advice of experts for help.Finally, participants must have the 8) authority to make a decision. If not, negotiations will be limited to an information exchange between the parties. 9)Furthermore, both parties must have a willingness to 10) compromise. In other words, sometimes, to reach a satisfactory conclusion, it is necessary for the parties prepared to have less than 100 percent of needs or interests satisfied.A) effect B) affect C) commit D) decreaseE) decline F) influence G) compromiseH) concedeI) available J) applicable K) reluctant L) furthermoreM) necessity N) authority O) potential参考答案：1) potential 2) decrease 3) available 4) reluctant 5) commit 6) influence 7) effect 8) authority 9) Furthermore 10) compromiseStress sets off an alarm in the brain and the nervous system is aroused to sharpen the senses, quicken the pulse, deepen breathing and tense the muscles.Infrequent periods of stress pose little risk. But when stressful situations continue without being 1) resolved, the body is kept in a constantly active state, which increases the harm to biological systems. Finally, the body becomes 2) exhausted and its ability to repair and defend itself can be seriously 3) compromised.

Mood and sleep 6) disturbances, upset stomach, and headache are examples of stress-related problems that are quick to develop and are commonly seen in these studies. These early 7) indications of job stress are usually easy to recognize. But the effects of job stress on chronic (慢性的) diseases are more difficult to 8) identify because chronic diseases take a long time to develop and can be influenced by many factors other than stress. Nevertheless, 9) evidence is rapidly increasing to suggest that stress plays a(n) 10) significant role in several types ofchronic health problems –especially cardiovascular (心血管的) disease, and psychological disorders.A) indications B) expressions C) disturbancesD) evidenceE) conflicted F) compromised G) resolved H) ensuredI) indicated J) erodes K) identify L) justifyM) involved N) exhausted O) significant参考答案：1) resolved 2) exhausted 3) compromised 4) erodes 5) indicated 6) disturbances 7) indications 8) identify 9) evidence 10) significantComputer use by college students is strongly encouraged, and is required in some courses. Some courses are now Internet-dependent; that is, the Internet has become a(n) 1) indispensable part of the course, from syllabuses (教学大纲) to homework.

There are so many 3) positive aspects of using this technology, for example, helping students feel more comfortable with their reading and learning.Although the Internet is an excellent tool for 4) gathering information and communicating with people, it has 5) disadvantages and puts those who make it the center of their lives at 6) risk. This can be bad for those who are unable to 7) balance their activities on the Internet with other parts of their lives. College students are particularly easy to be influenced in a(n) 8) negative way by the Internet.

Choosing between self-interest and caring for the family life is one of the most 1) fundamental problems facing all of us. To 2) overcome the problems, modern societies in general and American society in 3) particular, have tried to give women and men different moral responsibilities.Since the rise of industrialization (工业化), women have been expected to 4) seek personal development in addition to caring for the family. In the 21st Century, changes in family life have 5) weakened the traditional family responsibilities between men and women, but the changes are still ongoing.Women and men today are still facing problems over how to 6) balance between “independent self” and obligation to the family. Women as wives or mothers must now obtain economic independence even though they continue to 7) bear the responsibility for the family. Men as husbands or fathers are no longer the only ones to support the family as before, but they face new 8) pressures to become more involved fathers and partners.

The term now has become an important topic in the field of psychology and it 4) emphasizes being unselfish (无私的).Altruism is also the idea of caring about the 5) welfare of others. It is a virtue in many cultures although the 6) concept of “others” toward whom such care should be given can be different from culture to culture. For humans, altruism is the desire to provide something of 7) value to a person who could be anyone but the self. But something that 8) benefits other people is not necessarily altruistic. For example, if one helps out another person with the intention to 9) improve one’s own reputation (声望), this action would not be 10) regarded as altruistic, but rather as an expression of self-interest. In short, altruism means helping others without any personal reasons or purposes.A) concept B) image C) value D) obligationE) challenge F) welfare G) extremely H) infrequentlyI) defined J) described K) regarded L) emphasizesM) comforts N) benefits O) improve参考答案：1) defined 2) extremely 3) obligation 4) emphasizes 5) welfare 6) concept 7) value 8) benefits 9) improve 10) regardedIn some society it is the custom for parents to arrange marriages for their children.

The Industrial Age saw 1) extensive poverty amongst a rapidly expanding urban population.In 1941, William Beveridge, one of Britain’s 2) leading economists and social reformers, was asked to look at the problems of building a post-war Britain. His report, known as the “Beveridge Report”, was published in 1942, and it was based on two simple 3) elements : universality (普遍性) and comprehensiveness.

Meditation can be traced to the time when the Buddha (佛), monks (僧侣) 1) retreated into forests and mountains to think quietly about the truth of the Buddha’s Teaching. Meditation seems not only to help monks in 2) worshiping the Buddha, but can also benefit ordinary people.Meditation is a skill – a skill of conscious, continuous attention.
