(a) want (of) : lack of9. ringing cry: rallying callparagraph1. the job of arousing manhood within a people that have been taught for so many centuries that they are nobody is not easy. it is no easy job to educate a people who have been told over centuries that they were inferior and of no importance to see that they are humans, the same as any other people.2. psychological freedom, a firm sense of self-esteem, is the most powerful weapon against the long night of physical slavery.if you break the mental shackles imposed on you by white supremacists, if you really respect yourself, thinking that you are a man, equal to anyone else, you will be able to take part in the struggle against racial discrimination.3. the negro will only be free when he reaches down to the inner depths of his own being and signs with the pen and ink of assertive manhood his own emancipation proclamation.the liberation of mind can only be achieved by the negro himself/herself. only when a negro is fully convinced thathe/she is a man/woman and is not inferior to anyone else, can he/she throw off the manacles of self-abnegation and become free.4. power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.power in its best form of function is the carrying out of the demands of justice with love and justice in the best form of function is the overcoming of everything standing in the wayof love with power.5. at that time economic status was considered the measure of the individual’s ability and talents.at that time, the way to evaluate how capable and resourceful a person was to see how much money he had made (or how wealthy he was).6. …the absence of worldly goods indica ted a want of industrious habits and moral fiber.a person was poor because he was lazy and not hard-working and lacked a sense of right and wrong.7. it is not the work of slaves driven to their tasks either by the task, by the taskmaster, or by animal necessity.this kind of work cannot be done by slaves who work because the work has to be done, becausethey are forced to work by slave-drivers or because they need to work in order to be fed and clothed.8. …when the unjust measurement of human worth on the scale of dollars is eliminated.…when the unfair practice of judhing human value by the amount of money a person has irs done away with.9. he who hates does not know god, but he who has love has the key that unlocks the door to the meaning of ultimate reality. those who harbor hate in their hearts cannot grasp the teachings of god. only those who have love can enjoy the ultimate happiness in heaven.10. let us be dissatisfied until america will no longer have a high blood pressure of creeds and an anemia of deeds.let us be dissatisfied until america no longer only talk about racial equality but is unwilling or reluctant to take action to end such evil practice as racial discrimination.translation1. a white lie is better than a black lie.一个无关紧要的谎言总比一个恶意的谎言要好。

But when divided by 1.3billion, our average per-capita share of water resource only amounts to about one quarter of the world’s avera ge.2.We have always been heavily burden with the problemof water shortage. It is said that the 661 large and medium-sized cities nationwide, about two-thirds are suffering from acute shortage of water. Beijing isa good example in point. It not only lacks surfacewater, even its underground water is dangerously low.It is reported to have dropped by 90 meters. Some scholars suggest we move our capital to some other place. This is of course unfeasible/ unrealistic, but the message is clear.3.Our water resources first of all are not evenlydistributed in time or space. They are either too much, causing floods, or too little, causing droughts. 4.In spite of the impressive progress we have achievedin the past years, we are still far from effectively harnessing our rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Soil erosion and desertification are increasingly threatening our economy and people’s life. Many of our rivers no longer flow to the sea. In 1998, theYellow River failed to have enough water to flow to the sea for 212 days.5.Traditionally, our water resources have mainly beenused to irrigate land but, in recent years, demands on water for industrial and domestic use have also been sharply on the rise. They have seriously outgrown supplies.6.Today our scarce water resources are becoming evenscarcer because a lot of water is being wasted on capacious power showers, flush lavatories, and golf rinks. Moreover, a lot of water being polluted. 7. These two rivers both have their headwater in thecountry. It therefore makes water an issue for potential serious dispute between the two countries.8.In recent years, we have pinned great hopes on theprojects to divert water from the south to the north, hopping that it will once and for all solve our flood problem in the south and the drought problem in the north. But there are scholars whose opinions differ.They warn us that immunity of the Yangtze to droughts cannot be taken for granted.1 with better medical care, my grandfather could have lived to eighty.2 even at a gunpoint I would n’t renounce my beliefs.3 Further delay would cause us even greater loss.4. But for the seatbelt, she would have been severely injured in the acctident.5 A man without a strong sense of justice wouldn’t have brought the matter up.6 Without an experienced guide like her, we might have been trapped in the jungle.7 I wonder how many of us would have done the same in his position8 With a more sophisticated computer, we would have completed the project much sooner.9 Without a strong will, even a healthy m an wouldn’t have reached the top of the mountain in two hours10 A less resourceful person wouldn’t have been able to carry out the task under such unfavorable conditions.。

The first is about the meaning of democracy. The second is about what makes for happiness. The third is about the importance of values. As a result, all our standards have deteriorated alarmingly.To preserve the fifth freedom, we must give our children the most challenging curriculum possible, the right to fail, and the best values that history has taught us.Unit 3Study & PracticeⅡ.Comprehension Questions3. c 6. b 9. d 11. bⅢ.

There is a world of difference between “I have failed three times” and “I am a failure.” So long as you do not hold a negative concept of self or identify with failures but try to learn from them, you stand a good chance to succeed in the future. Did it ever occur to you that those who fail repeatedly are often victims of a poor self-image? Often their failures are due to internal causes rather than external causes. Numerous cases have borne it out that if they can be induced to change their viewpoint and construct a positive self-image, miraculous changes may take place in their performance. Success can come anytime---at thirty, forty or even after a lifetime of apparent failure. Early triumphs may be sweet, but success in later life often tastes even better.Reading ActivityExercises BII.1.transition2.unique3.spontaneous4.status quo5.appropriate6.potentials7.facilitate8.enhance9.rigid10.break away from11.equivalents12.orthodoxWriting practiceSome young people seem to have pessimistic outlook on life. They tend to believe they will never amount to much because they are not talented in anything whatsoever. Yet I think they are far from justified in feeling that way.These young men and women may have met with failures at one time or another, consequently they generalize about their abilities and aptitudes and conclude that they won’t be able to get very far in life. It needs to be pointed out here, however, that generalization is often dangerous. Just because one fails in one area doesn’t mean he will be unsuccessful in another. As a matter of fact, there are other options for his life if the path he chooses leads to failure.Furthermore, success belongs to the persevering, as the saying goes. Instead of asking themselves how much genius they have displayed, young people should ask themselves how hard they have worked. So long as they persist in their efforts, they are bound to get somewhere. As is known to all, the early life of many a great man was a mess. Thomas Edison’s teacher tried to get him out of the class because he was “addled”. Charles Darwin’s father once shouted: “You care for nothing but shooting dogs and rat-catching, and you will be a disgrace to yourself and all your family!” But later they responded to the challenge of their lives by great perseverance and success finally came their way.Obviously no young person need be pessimistic about his future. He has one special advantage over the greatest man alive--- time! Seize the hour! Seize the minute! It’s never too late for success.Unit 4Study & PracticeIII.

The classes cover a dizzying array of subjects and skills such as music, dancing, painting, calligraphy, computer, oratory, essay writing, mathematics, and foreign languages---just to name a few.Do children really gain extra benefit from these extra classes? The answer depends very much on whether the children themselves wish to attend them. If the children uncover some intrinsic happiness because of the lessons, then by nurturing and developing their talents, they do learn something. If, however, they are just being compelled by their parents to attend, then very likely everyone ends up disappointed with the final result. All will have been for no gain or pleasure, and ultimately just a waste of time. So while piano lessons may well be a blessing for one child, they may just likely end up a curse for another.Besides the issue of motivation, parents must also be careful not to over-schedule their child. Some parents try to fill up every minute of their child’s life with so-called ‘meaningful’ activities. Weekends get crammed with a variety of supplementary classes, and the child I rushed from one classroom to another. As a result, he or she is under tremendous pressure, and may even lack adequate sleep, all of which may lead to serious mental and physical problems.So, after-school classes have a positive effect only when the child truly wishes to take them and also has enough time and energy to truly commit to them.Unit 5Study＆PracticeⅠ.

The Church banned Copernicus’ book, burned Bruno at the stake and imprisoned Galileo for popularizing Copernicus’ and his own scientific ideas.4. Every age has one or more groups of intellectual rebels who are persecuted, condemned or suppressed; but to a later age, they seem harmless and often essential to the improvement of human conditions.5. Most people have believed that the enormous success of science is due to the use of a scientific method by scientists and Galileo is known as the “Father of the Scientific Method”.6. Rather than the scientific method, the scientific attitude is the key to the success of science.7. Scientists must accept facts whether they like them or not and they must be good at changing their minds because the purpose of science is not to defend their beliefs but to improve them.8. Honesty is the most valuable quality of scientists because it is not only essential to the progress of science but also a matter of self-interest to the scientists themselves.Ⅲ.

Passage TranslationScientists are a small group of people who strive to gain insights into nature and seek order in seeming disorderliness. They are credited with a special ability to think and analyze, and with infinite patience in making observations and collecting data. But ability and patience do not account for all scientific discoveries, which often have much to do with creative imagination. Indeed, a leap of imagination is often the first step towards discovery. In addition, scientists are also noted for their honesty. They put a high premium on honesty, largely because it is essential to their profession. Every theory they put forward is subjected to further testing. Every mistake or lie is bound to be found out. Therefore, if any evidence is found contradicting their ideas, scientists do not suppress the evidence, but modify or even abandon their ideas. In this way, they have accumulated immense knowledge, which helps us understand better ourselves and the world around us.Reading ActivityExercise A1. c2. c3. a4. d5. d6.

Jenny thought my father was reaching out to me for reconciliation and we should accept the invitation. I was in the midst of abstracting an important precedent and in the virtual shadow of exams, so I just told her in the simplest possible terms that there would never be reconciliation. My refusal obviously made Jenny very upset, but being a rational woman she didn’t quarrel with me. She just tried hard to persuade me. But this only filled me with fury, thinking that Jenny was just upsetting me deliberately. I must have tone out of my mind for I did something for which I would never forgive myself--- I yelled at Jenny and hurled the phone at her. But the instant I did it I regretted. And when I turned to look at her, she was already gone.I went out and searched everywhere but Jenny was nowhere to be found. I was scared to death, not knowing what to do next. Just as I was about to give up, I caught sight of her sitting in front of our house. I went up to her and said, “Jenny, I’m sorry…” but she cut off my apology and said, “Love means not ever having to say you’re sorry.”Reading ActivityExercise B1.fragrance2.knocked off3.cozy4.gasped5.discharged6.furnished7.smashed8.for dear life9.clinging10.tipped11.shove12.scrubbedUnit 7Study & PracticeⅡ.

Westernization…is a phenomenon shot with inconsistence and populated by bedfellows. Westernization is a concept full of self-contradiction and held by people of very different backgrounds or views6. You don’t have to be cool to do it; you just have to have the eye.In trying to find out what will be the future trend, you don't need to be fashionable yourself, all you need is awareness, that is to say, you need to be on the alert, to be observant7.

An unofficial, but often quoted, figure for the Cambridge First Certificate examination suggests that students with a vocabulary of less than 3,500 words are unlikely to be successful in the exam. Current research also suggests that native English speakers who have been educated up to 18 years old or beyond know at least 16,000 English words. And unless you already speak a language like Spanish or German, there are no shortcuts to a large vocabulary in English: you just have to rely on diligence and dedication. Of course you can figure out from the context the meanings of some new words you come across in your reading, but more often than not you have to look them up in a dictionary in order to be clear about their accurate meanings.A practicable way to pick up new words is, perhaps, to read a lot, preferably stories that you find interesting or exciting. It often pays to read the same book over and over again: each time you read it you will learn different new words, and the familiar context helps to fix them in your mind.Unit 21.

In the light of this information, that country already has the capabilities to make nuclear weapons.8. Regardless of repeated warnings from his friends, he staked all his money on high-risk ventures.Unit 3If you started on some venture and failed, do not despair/lose heart. There is a world of difference between “ I have failed three times” and “I am a failure”. So long as you do not hold a negative concept of self or identify with failures but try to learn from them, you stand a good chance to succeed in the future. Does it ever occur to you that those who fail repeatedly are often victims of a poor self-image? Often their failures are due to internal causes rather than external causes. Numerous cases have borne it out that if they can be induced to change their viewpoint and construct a positive self-image, miraculous changes may take place in their performance. Success can come anytime --- at thirty, forty or even after a lifetime of apparent failure. Early triumphs may be sweet, but success in later life often tastes even better.Unit 41. Far from being permissive, many parents are putting tremendous pressure on their children to be exceptional in everything.2. Owing to her academic excellence, this Changsha girl has been accepted by several prestigious American universities, including Harvard, Yale and MIT.3. Many parents start their children in piano or violin lessons at ever-earlier ages in hopes that they will become exceptional pianists or violinists.4.

They are credited with a special ability to think and analyze, and with infinite patience in making observations and collecting data. But ability and patience do not account for all scientific discoveries, which often have。

英语精读5参考答案英语精读5参考答案第一篇：The Power of Positive Thinking1. A positive mindset is essential for success in all aspects of life. It not only affects our mental well-being but also impacts our physical health and relationships. In this article, we will explore the power of positive thinking and how it can transform our lives.2. Positive thinking is the practice of focusing on the good things in life and maintaining an optimistic outlook. It involves reframing negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones. By doing so, we can overcome challenges, reduce stress, and attract positive experiences.3. One of the key benefits of positive thinking is improved mental health. When we adopt a positive mindset, we become more resilient in the face of adversity. We are better equipped to handle stress and overcome obstacles. This leads to a decrease in anxiety and depression, promoting overall well-being.4. Positive thinking also has a profound impact on our physical health. Studies have shown that a positive attitude can boost the immune system, lower blood pressure, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. By maintaining a positive mindset, we can enhance our overall health and longevity.5. Furthermore, positive thinking enhances our relationships with others.
