现代大学英语精读二unit4详细答案（杨立民版）Unit 4Preview1. Listen to the recording of the text and then fill in the blanksin thefollowing sentences.1) an air crash; Washington; 19822) terrible crash; jet plane; Washington National Airport; bridge; Potomac;sank; in icy-cold water; four; survive3) great damage and loss of life; special; tears; helicopter team;to pick upsurvivors; “the man in the water”4) courage and noble character; nature; to the occasion5) pride; the moral power2. Read the text for better comprehension and answer the questions. 1) The unusual element is the bridge, because normally, air crashes do not involve a bridge. Note: The word “element” here means factor or a basic part of sth complicated..2) City of form and rules means a city that is shapely or beautiful and orderly, but it suddenly turned into its opposite and became chaotic, turned into a state of complete disorder and confusion.A blast of real winter: Blast means a sudden strong movement of wind or air. The two metals here refer to the bridge and the plane, both of which are made of metal. 3) From the point of view of artistic beauty, there was also a clash, because the plane was blue and green, the river was black, and the chunks of ice were grey. Perhaps people did not see failure in it at all. They only saw the triumph of human nature over the elements.5) Here the human nature and natural powers are in conflict.6)“Rise to the occasion”: Deal successfully with a problem or situation that is especially difficult. “Groping and struggling”refers to the fact that normally it ishuman instinct to grope for something to hang on to and struggle for life. 7) The sentence means “Three out of the four acknowledged heroes…, are able to account for their behavior.”“Account for”: give a satisfactory explanation8) “in the line of duty”: while working; while on duty9) Skutnic added that somebody had to go in the water saying what every hero would say under the circumstances, but although the sentiment has been repeated by many heroes, it is still admirable.10) It means the main reason for the emotional impact or the person who caused the greatest emotional impact.11) “mass casualty”: a great number of people injured and killedin an accident or battle. The word “mass” here is an adjective, meaning affecting a lot of people. Alsomass murder; mass killings; mass destruction; mass hysteria; mass protest; mass movement.“commitment”: a sense of duty and responsibility and a determination to work hard at it.12) As his name remained unknown, it made him a sort of symbol, a symbol of what human beings can do when they are at their best.13) “listening to …” is a participle phrase used as an adverbial of manner, modifying the predicate of the main clause “sitting”;“tell …” and “saying ..” are both part of the complex object of “listening to”; and “to fasten …” is part of the complex object of “tell”.14) in the essential, classic circumstance: in the most basic and typical circumstance 15) the age-old battle between humans and nature16) go at each other: fight each other violentlyact on distinctions: act according to the distinction between good and evil; act according to moral principles17) It means that when the man in the water gave a lifeline to the people gasping for survival, in the same way he seemed to be also saving the lives of those who watched him, making them understand life’s true meaning.18) “hold it to a standoff”: make nature unable to win the battle immediately 迫使自然接受在和人的斗争中的僵持局面，使它不能马上得逞。
