新概念英语第二册课后练习题答案详解(第25课)
新概念英语第二册课后习题Lesson 25
1. c
a. The writer didn’t know any English 与课文实际内容不符;
b. The porter didn’t speak English 也与实际情况不符;d. The writer was a foreigner 虽然是课文涉及的内容，但不是作者不能听懂搬运工人讲话的真正原因，因为作者也懂英语;只有
c. The writer couldn’t understand the porter’s English 最符合课文的实际情况，是准确答案。
2. b
根据文章My teacher never spoke English like that!, 只有b. expected everyone in England to speak like his teacher 说出了作者的想法.
a. didn't think the porter was English 与事实不符合,文章中没有这样的暗示.
c.. doesn't think the English speak English, 不是作者的真实想法.
d. thinks that the English speak many different languages虽然作者是这样说的,但是不一定是作者的真实想法.
3. b
只有选b. is 最符合语法。 a. are 不合乎语法，因为English 做“英语”讲时是单数名词，不能跟复数的系动词are; c. was 也不合乎语法，因为陈述一种语言的性质应该用一般现在时; d. has (有)更不符合语法，因为has 不能做系动词。
4. a
这个疑问句是针对次数提问的，回答是several times ，只有a. how many times 多少次，是问次数的。
其他3个选择都不是对次数提问的。
5. b
这是一个否定句，只有选c. either 最符合语法。因为只有either 能够用于否定句中表示“也不”。 a. neither (两者都不)
一般不用于带否定词not的否定句中，它能够同nor 连用; c. too(也) 只能用于肯定句中;d. nor 不能单独使用，只能用neither 连用，表
示“既不……也不”。
6. c
本句中的both 是“两个人”的意思，所以不能选a. I 和 b.
He ，因为她们都是单数人称代词;d. they (他们)能够是两个人，但
若选d.则同前面句子人称不一致，不合乎逻辑; 只有c. We (我们)最
合乎语法和逻辑。
7. d
本句需要选出一个关系代词做定语从句中的宾语.
a. who 只能做定语从句的主语(指人)
b. whose只能做定语从句的定语
c. whom只能做定语从句的宾语,不能指物
d. which能够做定语从句的宾语,指物.
8. b
本句需要选一个与前一句中的several(几个)意思相近的词。 a. much(很多)不是several 的近义词，也不能修饰可数名词;c. only a few(只有少数)同several 的意思不够接近; d. three(3个)太绝对化
了，因为several 虽然可能是3个，但也可能多于3个; 只有b. a number of (一些，几个)同several 的意思相近，所以选b.
9. a
该句需要选出同前一句中的At last(最终)意思相同的词组。只有a. in the end(最终)同at last 意思相同。而b. at least(至少)， c. lastly(最后地), d. at the finish 不是准确的表达方式，这3个选择都不符合题目意思。
10. a
只有选a. a foreigner(外国人)，才能同前句 I come from abroad(我来自国外)的意思相吻合。 b. strange(陌生的，奇怪的)不
符合题目意思; c. overseas(国外的，海外的)是形容词，也能够作副
词但不如a foreigner 意思准确; d. abroad(出国，在国外)是副词，
I am abroad(我正在国外)与前一句意思不符。
11. d
只有选d. taught(教)最准确。
a. learnt(学习);
b. trained(培训);
c. instructed(指导)这3
个选择都不符合题目意思。
12. a
只有a. am not sure (不确信)同前面的wonder(感到奇怪)的意
思比较接近。
b. am sure (肯定，确信);
c. wander(漫游)，
d. know(知道，懂)这3个词的意思都不合乎题目意思。

新概念英语第二册第18课重点语法句型 第18课的内容： 一、重要句型或语法 1、have的用法 have作为实义动词的主要用法有： 1)表“有”，如：He has some magazines. 2)表“吃喝‘，如：He has a cup of tea every day. 3)表“患病”，如：He has a bad cold. 4)表“万能do”，其结构一般为：have a+含动作含义的名词，如：have a swim/talk/walk/rest等。 二、课文主要语言点 After I had had lunch at a village pub, I looked for my bag. 1)have表“吃喝”时，一般后面会跟上吃喝的东西，但是如果是 笼统说吃喝，则一般用eat或drink，如：have something to drink/eat。 2)可提问学生为什么句中的have lunch的have要用过 去完成时had had lunch。 3)注意表地点的介词at的用法，因为a village pub是小地方，是某个点。 4)look for，寻找。能够在此汇 总look的相关短语，如：look after/look up/look up to/look down on。 I had left it on a chair beside the door and now it wasn't there!
1)句中的leave表示“落下，忘了”。 2)注意区分beside(在旁边)和besides(除了...之外，还有)。 3)注意跟学生解释后半句虽然 用的是now，但因为说的是钱包当时放在门边，之后就不见了，所以是过去的事情，要用一般过去时。 As I was looking for it, the landlord came in. 1)as相当于while，其引导的从句谓语动词一般都要用实行时。 2)注意landlord 的构词方式属于合成法，即是由land(土地)和lord(主人)构成的。 Did you have a good meal?' he asked. 1)可提问学生为什么店 主询问时要用一般过去时(因为店主问的是过去发生的事情，即刚才作 者吃的饭如何)。 2)have a good meal，吃得好。 Yes, thank you,' I answered, 'but I can't pay the bill. I haven't got my bag.' 1)pay the bill，买单、付账。 2)have got，对比have的用法，have got更加口语化，且have got中的have是助动词。 The landlord smiled and immediately went out. 1)smile，微笑。注意与laugh(大笑)的区别。 2)immediately放在句首起到强调 作用，说明店主很清楚发生这种事情一般都是怎么回事。 3)go out， 出去。 In a few minutes, he returned with my bag and gave it back to me. 1)in a few minutes，几分钟之后。 2)return，回来、归还。 3)give ... back to sb.，把某物还给某人。 I'm very sorry,' he said.

He answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn English!' he said.I wonder. In England, each man speaks a different language.

Many people pretend that they understand modern art. They always tell you what a picture is 'about'. Of course, many pictures arc not 'about' anything. They are just pretty patterns. We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material. I think that young children often appreciate modern pictures better than anyone else. They notice more. My sister is only seven, but she always tells me whether my pictures are good or not. She came into my room yesterday.' What are you doing ?' she asked.' I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered. 'It's a new one. Do you like it ?' She looked at it critically for a moment.' It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside-down ?'

Lesson 25 Do the English speak English? 英国人讲的是英语吗？ Why does the writer not understand the porter? I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me. I repeated my question several times and at last he understood. he answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly. 'I am a foreigner,' I said. Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it. 'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them! Do they speak English? 参考译文 我终于到了伦敦。火车站很大，又黑又暗。我不知道去饭店的路该怎么走，于是向一个搬运工打听。我的英语 讲得不但非常认真，而且咬字也非常清楚。然而搬运工却不明白我的话。我把问话重复了很多遍。他终于听懂 了。他回答了，但他讲得既不慢也不清楚。“我是个外国人，”我说。于是他说得慢了，可我还是听不懂。我的 老师从来不那样讲英语！我和搬运工相视一笑。接着，他说了点什么，这回我听懂了。“您会很快学会英语 的！”他说。我感到奇怪。在英国，人们各自说着一种不同的语言。英国人之间相互听得懂，可我却不懂他们的话！他们说的是英语吗？ 【New words and expressions】（5） railway n. 铁路，铁道 [U] (Br.) / railroad (Am.) a line of railway 一条铁路 railway station 火车站 railway n. 轨道 (pl.)
