新编英语教程Unit7答案Paraphrase：Explain the following in your own words.(WB.P.96-98 Part B)1. I found myself on varied assignments, all the way from ship news to sports reporting.I found I was given different kinds of assignments, ranging in variety from ship news to sports reporting.2. There was nothing spectacular in Mr. Jacobs’ manner or appearance: but when he spoke about prizefights, he was no longer a bland man but a colossus ...The re was nothing in Mr. Jacobs’ appearance and manner that would attract public attention, but when he talked about prizefights, he was not ordinary any more, he looked like a giant ...3. You knew you were listening to Number One.You knew you were listening to the most authoritative prizefight promoter.4. So far as he was concerned, there was no mystery to it.He saw nothing mysterious in boxing.5. he ... went down, was counted out, and never came out of the coma.he ... fell to the floor, didn’t stand up when the referee counted the seconds from one to ten, and never regained consciousness.6. The Paret fight produced a flurry of investigations.The Paret fight resulted in a great deal of fervent public interest and several investigations.7. One question that was solemnly studied in all three probes concerned the action of the referee. After careful investigationand thorough and serious examination by the three organizations, one question was found to be of common concern — the action of the referee.8. No crowd was ever brought to its feet screaming and cheering at the sight of two men beautifully dodging and weaving out of each other’s jabs.When the crowd saw two boxers exquisitely move from side to side to avoid the opponent’s quick straight punch to the head, nobody would stand up, crying out in a shrill voice and shouting in great joy.9. The time the crowd comes alive is when a man is hit hard over the heart or the head, when his mouthpiece flies out, when blood squirts out of his nose or eyes, when he wobbles under the attack and his pursuer continues to smash at him with poleax impact.The time when the crowd is brought to a cheerful and excited mood is when a boxer receives hard blows over his heart and head, when his gumshield falls out, when blood gushes out from his nose or eyes, when he moves unsteadily from side to side under the attack, and his opponent chases him and goes on with his heavy blows and hard punches with the force of a poleax.10. Put the blame where it belongs —on the prevailing mores that regard prizefighting as a perfectly proper enterprise and vehicle of entertainment.Say where the responsibility really lies —it lies in the dominant and controlling social customs and standards that look upon prizefighting as a completely suitible means of making money and form of amusement.。

(para. 2-4)Supporting evidenceA. Teachers called on males in class far more than on female students. (para 2)i) Its consequence: This has a tremendous impact on the learning process.ii) The reason for this: Active classroom participants develop more positive attitudesand go on to higher achievement.iii) Two examples:a. In many of the former all-women’s colleges, the boys were taking over theclass-room discussions and active participation by women students had diminished noticeably.b. A similar subordination of female to male students has also been observed in law and medical school classrooms in recent years.B. Teachers assigned boys and girls different tasks according to stereotyped gender roles. (para. 3)i) Its consequence: This prevented girls from participating as actively as boys in class. ii) An example: A teacher had the little boys perform the scientific experiment while the girls were given the task of putting the materials away.C. Gender-biased educ ation is also reflected in the typical American teacher’ assumption.

American boys do develop reading problems, while girls, who are superior to boys in math up to the age of nine, fall behind from then on.b. In Germany, all studies are considered masculine and it is girls who develop reading problems.c. In Japan, where early education appears to be nonsexist, both girls and boys do equally well in reading.(3) The educational bias begins at home. (para 5)A. Supporting evidence:i) Boy preschoolers were permitted to go away from home in a much wider area than girl preschoolers.ii) Boys were encouraged to develop intellectual curiosity and physical skills, while girls are filled with fears of the world outside the home and with the desire to be approved of for their goodness and obedience to rules.B. The consequence when these lessons carry over from the home to the classroom: Girls are generally observed to be more dependent on the teacher, more concerned with the form and neatness of their work than its content, and more anxious about being right intheir answers than in being intellectually independent, analytical, or original.C. Conclusion: Through the educational process that occupies most of the child’s waking hours, society reinforces its established values and turns out each sex in its traditional and expected mold.Vocabulary1. 1) genetic 2) assign 3) noticeably 4) approved 5) Bias 6) deprived7) constituted 8) participation 9) unintentional 10) postgraduate2.conscious- unconsciousencourage- discouragedirectly- indirectlysexist – nonsexistdependent- independentpositive – negativesuperior - inferiorbiased – fairlimited – unlimitedappropriately- inappropriately3. 1) C 2) D 3) A 4) E 5) B 6) C 7) F 8) B4. 1) turn out2) carry over 3) calling on4) put away5) fallen behind6) take overunit4Reading Comprehension1. 1) Introduction(para 1)It is introduced in the article how teachers and parents can encourage creativity in children.2) An important strategy for parents and teachers to follow (para. 2-3)A.

DisjunctA disjunct is a type of adverbial that expresses information that is not considered essential to the sentence it appears in, but which is considered to be the speaker’s or writer’s attitude towards, or descriptive statement of, the propositional content of the sentence.More generally, the term disjunct can be used to refer to any sentence element that is not fully integrated into the clausal structure of the sentence. Such elements usually appear peripherally (at the beginning or end of the sentence) and are set off from the rest of the sentence by a comma (in writing) and a pause (in speech).e.g. Honestly, I couldn’t believe it.Unfortunately, Kim has had to leave us.I Rewrite the following sentences using proper disjuncts.1.Unfortunately, we have run out of stock.2.Hopefully, the report will go out to shareholders no later than June 1.3.Oddly enough, he did not raise any objection to the plan.4.Rightly, you returned the money.5.Luckily, this had attracted the attention of TV network executives.6.Fortunately, all went well.7.Strangely enough, the burglar didn’t take the diamond away.IIDisjuncts that are used to convey the evaluation of or attitude towards what is said can be subdivided into two types: 1) those that express a judgment on what is being said as a whole and that normally apply the same judgment simultaneously to the subject of the clause, for example, rightly, correctly, justly, foolishly, wisely, cleverly, prudently, rightly and wrongly. 2) those whose judgment carries no implication to the subject of the clause, such as remarkably, amazingly, astonishingly, curiously, naturally, fortunately, happily, thankfully and sadly. Type 1 disjuncts correspond to the clauses It be…that…, It be…of…or to an infinitive clause.Type 2 disjuncts correspond to the clause It be…that…1. It was right that they protested against it. / It was right of them to have protested （或protest）against it. / They were right to have protested（或protest）against it.2. It was foolish that the boy didn’t say a single word. / It was foolish of the boy not to have said （或say） a single word. / The boy was foolish not to have said （或say）a single word.3.

It is lucky that my assistant has arranged for the matter to be considered by an ad hoc working party.8. It is hoped that a proposal will be ready in time for our next meeting.III Relative wordsRelative words are used to refer to a noun mentioned before and of which we are adding more information. They are used to join two or more sentences in the way we call “relative sentences”.e.g. I know many boys who / that play rugby.The shirt which / that Carl bought has a stain on the pocket.This is the boy whose mother works for the BBC.Barnstaple has a very old covered market where I bought some lovely old plates.Sunday is the day when people usually don’t go to work.If the verb in the relative clause needs a preposition, we usually put it at the end of the clause:e.g. The music which / that Julie listens to is good.Sometimes, the preposition can also be placed before the relative pronoun.e.g. My brother met a woman with whom I used to work.It was the stream in which the elephant and the mouse preferred to swim.Notice that we cannot use who or that after a preposition, for the relative pronoun now serves as the object of the preposition.Key:1.which / that, when, by which2.on which3.that4.for whom5.with whom6.to whom7.of which8.at whichIV.1.where, where2.what, which3.what4.why5.where6.When7.why8.which, which, whatKey:1.However2.Whatever3.whatever4.Wherever5.Whichever6.Whoever7.However8.whenever, wheneverI1.不管我们的标准是什么，这个标准现在提高了，结果使你对自己没能得到更高的分数而感到失望。

新编英语教程7 上海外语教育出版社李观仪课后paraphrase 答案（Unit 1，2，3，4，5，9，10）Unit11. The differences for which language gets blamed may not be due so much to words as to communications on other levels beginning with English intonation (which sounds affected to many Americans) and continuing to ego-linked ways of handling time, space, and materials.(11. 2-5)Some people complain about the English language for its being so different in the two countries. These differences, however, may have resulted not from the words people use, but rather from individual linguistic habits, which are displayed in the adoption of a particular intonation (English intonation sounds unnatural to Americans), and extend down to the way people look at the world.2. One of the basic reasons for this wide disparity is that in the United States we use space as a way of classifying people and activities, whereas in England it is the social system that determines who you are. (11. 7-9)One of the important factors that has contributed to such a big difference is that the place where one lives, to Americans, can present a symbol of one’s status or activity, while in England, the class one belongs to identifies one’s position in society.3. As a consequence, the English are puzzled by the American need for a secure place in which to work, an office. (11. 41 -43) ’.As a result，it is hard for the English to figure out why Americans invariably feel it is necessary to find themselves a space, such as an office, where they may work without being disturbed.4. It took some time but finally we were able to identify most of the contrasting features of the American and British problems that were in conflict in this case. (11. 59-60)It was not until some time later that we managed to discover the major differences that had frustrated both sides in the above story.5. They have in effect internalized a set of barriers, which they erect and which others are supposed to recognize. (11. 66-67)They have virtually built up, for themselves, a wall, which may keep them safe from disturbance when necessary and which, they assume, others should be able to perceive and respect.Unit21. The most intensive study I ever made of tourists was at Torcello, where it is impossible to avoid them. (11. 1-2)Since tourists can be seen almost everywhere at Torcello, I decided to observe them closely.2. Torcello which used to be lonely as a cloud has recently become an outing from Venice.(11. 9-10)Torcello was at one time an island scarcely visited by people, but today it has grown to be amagnet for tourists from Venice.3. Byzantine art is an acquired taste and probably not one in ten of the visitors has acquired it. (11. 14-15)To appreciate Byzantine art, one needs to cultivate a particular sense of beauty, but few of the tourists to Torcello have been so equipped.4. As they are obliged, whether they like it or not, to live in public during the whole summer, they very naturally try to extract some financial benefit from this state of affairs.(11. 29-31)They have no choice but to come into contact with the tourists throughout the summer, and it is not hard to imagine why they should try to earn some money out of this opportunity.5. The priest organizes holy processions to coincide with the arrival of the steamer.(11.43-44)The priest arranges for the religious pageant to begin the moment the ship arrives.Unit31. In a way, of course, the subway is the living symbol of all that adds up to lack of status in New Y ork. There is a sense of madness and disorientation at almost every express stop. (11. 1-3)In New York’s underground transportation system, one finds many examples of what is low-class behavior in New York. The subway is disorganized and people move about wildly at each express stop.2. Your tactile sense takes a crucifying you never dreamed possible. (11. 7-8)You are being bumped撞击, shoved挤,推and prodded刺或戳amidst the crowd more than you ever expected3. Also beggars. And among the beggars New York's status competition is renewed, there in the much despised subway. On the Seventh Avenue IRT line the competition is maniacal. Some evenings the beggars ricochet off one another between stops, calling one another-s and -s and telling each other to go find their own-car. (11. 19-23)In New York’s much-hated subway, beggars compete against each other, which demonstrates New York’s status competition. On the Seventh Avenue IRT line, the competition grows so fierce that it borders on craziness. Some evenings when beggars spot one another between stops, they fight against each other, curse one another, and warn one another to stay away from where they are.4. So today he does much better. He seems to make a living. He is no idler, lolly gagger or bum. He can look with condescension upon the states to which men fall. (11. 45-47)Since he has perfected this strategy, he makes ends meet today --- people tend to give him money; he really is not a bum --- he has a job. He is now in a position to look down upon others who have unfortunately become bums.5. Everyone stares at him briefly, at his congealed Wheatena-and-lint carcass, but no one breaks stride; and who knows how long it will be before finally two policemen have to come in and hold their breath and scrape him up out of the gloom and into the bosom of the law,’ from which he will emerge with a set of green fatigues, at least, and an honorable seat at night on the subway bench. (II. 57-62)People briefly look at his body, which is covered with lint and dirt, but walk right on by him. No one knows how long it will be before two policemen spot. They will have to hold their breath from his stench恶臭, 臭气when they take him to the police station. They will give him a set of green work clothes which will make him more presentable像样的；中看的--- presentable enough to have a seat on the subway at night next to other presentable people.Unit41. Part of the intricacy of co-ordination in using language lies in the different constraints operating in speech and writing. (11. 1-3)What makes the use of a language complicated can partly be explained by the fact that there are many restrictions upon the spoken and written forms (of the language).2. The stylistic range of English is wide and ultimately the gradations are infinite. (H. 4-5) The ways of expressing thoughts through the use of the English language vary so much that it is practically impossible to classify them neatly.3. It may seem paradoxical to lay such stress on being conventional in the use of English when we may well feel that the big prizes go to people who are original and unconventional in their English. (11. 9-11)It probably sounds contradictory that while we seem to be so particular about the accepted rules that govern the formal use of the language, some are trying to encourage people to be creative in their application of the English language.4. Without a norm, it is difficult to recognize or practise originality. (1. 18)It is in no sense easy for us even to tell what creativeness really is or how creativeness is to be achieved, unless we have some criterion to base our judgment on.5. ... we may not feel any of htat distaste that constitutes reaction to a clichéWe may not think it at all disagreeable or offensive, which is typical of our feeling about a cliché.Unit51. To live with the Santa Ana is to accept, consciously or unconsciously, a deeply mechanistic view of human behavior. (11. 9-11)When confronted by the Santa Ana, one has to believe, willingly or unwillingly, that people's acts are controlled by natural forces.2. That was the kind of wind it was. (1.. 23-24)That was the type of impact brought about by the wind.3. I did not know then that there was any basis for the effect it had on all of us, but it turns out to be another of those cases in which science bears out folk wisdom. (11.24-25)I was not able to figure out at that time how such an impact could have been possible, but it is yet one more instance where science has proved man's instinctive wiseness in his hypothesis that anything can happen in a natural calamity like this.4. Just to watch the front-page news out of Los Angeles during a Santa Ana is to get very close to what it is about the place. (11. 57-58)Read the cover page of any newspaper about Los Angeles when it has been hit by a Santa Ana, and you will be able to understand/will not fail to imagine what has become of the city.5. It is hard for people who have not lived in Los Angeles to realize how radically the Santa Ana figures in the local imagination.Only those who have lived in Los Angeles can possibly picture how vividly people feel about a Santa Ana.Unit91. We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it. (11. 1-2)We are living in a world which is quite unfamiliar to us, and we have no idea as to how to adapt ourselves to this new environment.2. They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. (11.—22-23) They were spared from perceiving that the purpose of their living in this world was to satisfy themselves only/their personal needs.3. What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the foremost object, ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were obscured to the point of disappearing. (11. 36-38)People expected that their government would offer them material comforts; with this major objective achieved, other goals like democracy, self-dependence and social obligations seemed almost of no concern for them.4. She reached the point when the freedom she wanted was freedom from responsibility.(11.41-42)Freedom started to disappear when Athenians wanted to get away from responsibility for the common welfare.5. But, “the excellent becomes the permanent," Aristotle said.However, Aristotle remarked that whatever people viewed as superior would exist forever.Unit101. For me, the pace is wrong for contemplation of either ideas or vistas. (11. 3-4)As far as I am concerned, the rate at which I jog just will not allow me to think deeply or enjoy the view around me.2. From the listless looks of some fellow trotters, I gather I am not alone in my unenthusiasm. (11.7-8)The languid (疲倦的) faces of my fellow joggers have convinced me that I am not the only one who has not developed an interest in jogging.3. Weekend worship is less compulsory. (11. 30-31)People no longer feel it obligatory to go to church over the weekend.4. It is our modern irreligion, our lack of confidence in any hereafter, that makes us anxious to stretch our mortal stay as long as possible. (11. 37-39)Today, our faith in an afterlife has diminished, and this encourages our desperate efforts to live longer in this world.5. Like a hairshirt or a bed of nails, the more one hates it, the more virtuous it makes one feel. (11. 57-58)Like the acceptance of a penance as a way of attaining virtue, one is even more prepared to embrace jogging, the more it proves itself to be boring-。
