It costs￡115 per person for a week’s holiday. For this price you get good food— three meals a day—and you sleep in mountain farmhouses. You must also pay for your journey to Wales, of course. If you and your family like sport, fresh air, and a healthy life, this would be a good holiday for you.Perhaps you would rather relax and lie in the sun all day. Then why don’t you go to sunnySpain? How about the Costa del Sol? Happy Holidays can take you there quite cheaply. It costs ￡250 for ten nights in a luxury hotel. This price includes the cost of the journey from London to Spain— by air, of course.If you like fresh air, a healthy life and plenty of sun, too, you could go sailing in Greece. You don’t need to be a good sailor. You can learn while you are on holiday. During the holiday you live on the boat. You must buy your own food, but food in Greece is quite cheap. And the holiday is not very expensive: ￡325 per person for two weeks, including the cost of air travel to and from Greece.Task 5【答案】A.1) F, 2) T, 3) T, 4) FB.1) c, 2) c, 3) b, 4) aC.family, 660, camping, 1499, first-class, swimming pool, night club【原文】Travel Agent: Good morning.

My wife and I, and the two children.Child: Mum, can I sit over there and read my comic?Mum: No, you can’t. You want to help us choose, don’t you?Travel Agent: We’ve just got four family trips left. Er... ranging from ￡660 for this camping holiday on the French Riviera to ￡1,499 for a week in Corfu— that’s a first classhotel with swimming-pool, night club, you know, everything included. So,youknow, something to suit all tastes and pockets.Child: Dad, is it OK ifI...?Dad: No, it isn’t. Well, I must say, that last one certainly doesn’t suit my pocket. Doyou think you could… tell us what you get for those prices?Travel Agent: Certainly. Well, of course, there’s the flight, and transport to and from the air- port…er...accommodation, of course. Otherwise, well, it varies a bit. InCopenhagenall your meals are included, you know, because it’s a guest house, and…er...thischalet in Sardinia, for example, is basically self-catering, butthere are certainactivities like parties and…excursions, and…er...they’re included in the price.Dad: That last one sounds very interesting.Mum: What do you mean “interesting”? Who’s going to do all the cooking an d cleaning?I must say, I rather like the sound of the guest house.Child: Mum, ...Mum: No!Travel Agent: Well, actually, madam, there are extra catering facilities provided for all our self-catering holidays, should you need them.Child: Dad, ...Dad: Look, do us all a favour and go and sit over there and read your comic, will you?Travel Agent: These are all-inclusive family budget prices—I assure you they represent a substantial reduction on our normal prices.

You know, I’ve heard Copenhagen is such a beautiful city...Dad: Well, I don’t know. This camping one’s obviously out—I mean, it says here thatthey’ve got a casino and cinema and all that, but it sounds too much like hardworkfor me. But what about Sardinia? You know, ￡975 isn’t too expensive.Mum: Mmm... probably nicer for the kids, too—you know, warmer, and beaches and all that. Yes, let’s take it.Travel Agent: You won’t regret it, madam, I can assure you. Now, I wonder ifyou’d mind justgiving me a few particulars...Mum: Jimmy, what are you doing over there?

There are too many insects.

This is the place I’ve been looking for—the island of my dreams! It’sbeautiful, and it has everything I need: food, fresh water, and peace. The lagoon is full of fish. Thereare coconut palms and wild bananas. There’s a nice little lake among th e hills. And no one lives onany of the islands around here.February 14thI’ve decided to stay here. I’m tired of traveling. I get seasick all the time. And I don’t really wantto get back to civilization. I want to get away from it all—to get back to nature. I want to live thesimple life—the kind of life that Bill’s forefathers used to live, without metal and machines andmoney. Ifthey could live like that, so can I. I’m sure I’m as clever as they were!February 17thIn a few minutes I’m going to go back to the boat. I’m going to fetch the things that Bill gave me.I’ll bring them back here. I’ll sail the boat out to sea. I’ll point it towards South America. Then I’lljump off and swim back here. If anyone finds the boat, they’ll think I fell into the water by accident.February 18thSo here I am—completely alone on my dream island. Now I’ll be able to do what I’ve alwayswanted to do: to get to know myself. Because I’ve never been really sure who I am. I’ve played toomany parts in my life—too many roles in films, and in real life, too. Now I have the chance todiscover the real Buck Westwood. All my life he’s been sleeping somewhere deep inside me—dreaming his “great dream”. Now it’s time to wake up, Buck. Be yourself at last!June 2ndThere was another storm today. It rained hard, and the wind blew away part of the roof. Everything in the house got wet. It’s not a very strong house. I’m not very good at building houses out oftrees and grass and leaves.There’s nothing to eat except coconuts and raw fish. I’m tired of coconuts, and I can’t cook thefish because the fire’s gone out. I wish I had some dry wood and some matches.June l0thI don’t feel very well. There isn’t enough clean water on this island, and there are too manyinsects. The house is full of ants and flies. They’re driving me mad! I wish I had something to killthem with!June 15thOh dear! I’ve only been on this island for a few months, but it feels like years already. There’snobody to talk to, and nothing to read. I wish I could get away from here. But how? I’ve been trying to build a boat, but I need some modern tools. I wish I had a good axe, a saw, a hammer and some nails.June 16thI must send a message for help. But how? That’s the problem! I wish I had a radio.Task 9【答案】A.1) c → e → a → b → d2) c → a → bB.1) F, 2) T, 3) T, 4) F【原文】Hello! I’m very pleased that you have decided to join one of our next London weekends.

Most universities will not accept students without this test. It is also used to help decide how much financial aid should be given to each student.Scores range from 200 to 800 for each part. There is a total of 1,600 points. The test is held every year from October to June. But seniors must take it before December in order to include their scores in their university applications. The average total score for an American high school student is around 1,000.A poor SAT score can prevent a student from going to a good university. Students who want to go to one of American's best universities, such as Harvard or Yale, must score between 1,430 and 1,600.The test can be taken over and over again, but all the scores will appear on the students' records. However, unlike Chinese universities, the score is not the only thing needed. American universities also look at a student's subject grades, what they do outside of school, and their teachers' recommendations.In addition to the SAT I, some universities require high school students to take at least three SATⅡs. These one-hour exams can be taken in any subject, for example chemistry or French.KeyA.

I really feel that it was all worth it now. When people come to see it, they always say they love it, and that we’ve done a super job, and it’s good to hear that.Pate: I sometimes walk around and just touch various things— some of these books are very rare and they’re lovely to hold— here, feel this leather cover. I think a house should be all about the senses. I hear Mary working out in the morning on her exercise bar, or playing the piano.It really sounds like a home as well.Mary: I think I have two favourite rooms — the music room is here. We had the carpet specially made. Y ou can feel the thickness of it, even in shoes. It’s an informal sitting room, really. A lot of our favourite things are in this room. Sometimes, after a heavy day, I like to just sit here and look at the paintings, or play the piano, or listen to music. My other favourite is the breakfast roo m because it’s so bright and cheery, and in the summer we throw the windows open and I can hear the birds, or Pete playing with the dog.Pete: Someone asked me the other day if I could bear to do it all again.Interviewer: And what did you say?Pete: Well of course, it’s all worthwhile in the end. But to tell you the truth, I was almost sad when it was finished. Well, you know that, I wondered what I was going to do next. I loved designing the curtains for example. And I liked doing the wallpaper. And it was especially good because we were doing it for ourselves. I hated doing some of the mundane things, though.Mary: I think it’s a question of degree, really. I like some types of shopping. I love shopping for antiques, for example. And choosing furniture and fabrics. I like doing that. What I hate doing is ordinary day-to-day shopping. I love shopping for a dinner party, for example.Going into all the small specialty shops, the cheese shop, the fishmonger’s and so on. But I hate shopping for washing powder, for example. I don’t like ding the ordinary boring things.T ask 8【答案】A.Social and economic, America’s housing system1.1) smaller houses or apartments2) rental housing3) cooperatives2. the rising energy prices1) cities2) less to heat and light3) underground3. economic factors1) the cost of houses getting higher and higher2) higher interestB.1) It is a way of solving housing problem and helping keep the cost low. In the cooperative, everyone buys a share of an apartment building. If a low-earning requirement is met, the buys can get a low-interest loan from the government.2) During the day, heat from sunlight is collected through windows on the south side of the house. At night, the windows are covered, and the collected warmth heats the home.【原文】In recent years, there have been important social and economic changes in the United States. And, these changes have affected almost all of America’s housing system, from home building to home buying.First of all, American families are growing smaller. People today are having fewer children, or choosing not to have children at all. Many people are marrying later in life. And, about 40 percent of all American marriages end in divorce.All this means that many Americans now want smaller houses. And, a larger percentage are buying apartments.This has created a shortage of rental housing in many parts of the country. It has caused special difficulties for those who are old or poor, and do not have the money to buy a place of their own.Some people are solving this problem by forming cooperatives. In a cooperative, everyone in an apartment building joins together and buys a share of the building. If 20 percent of those living in the cooperative have low earnings, then the group can get a low-interest loan from the government. If people want to sell their share in the cooperative, they cannot receive more than they paid for it. This helps keep the cost of cooperatives low.Recent concern over the cost of energy also has brought changes in American housing. Some people are moving back to the cities, to save the cost of driving long distances to work. And, many Americans have begun to seek homes that cost less to heat and light. Some homes are being built underground. They cost almost nothing to heat, because the temperature of the earth changes very little as the seasons change.Other new houses get their energy from the sun. During the day, heat from sunlight is collected through windows on the south side of the house. At night, the windows are covered, and the collected warmth heats the home.Recently, the American economy has also had a major effect on American housing. Inflation has pushed the cost of homes higher and higher. And, interest rates have become very high. Buyers now must pay as much as 18 percent interest for housing loans.Americans with just moderate earnings now find it very difficult to make monthly payments on new home. In the last few months, even apartments have grown too costly for most people to buy.T ask 9【答案】A.1) Debate on Radio Time.2) Four guests are in the studio. James and Alice are from Sheffield; David and Louise are from a small village in Y orkshire.3) The topic is how living in town compares with living in the country.【原文】Mike: Hello everyone, and welcome to this month’s edition of Debate on Radio Time, the programme for students of English round the world. With me in the studio today I have four guests, James and Alice from Sheffield, and David and Louise from a small village in Y orkshire. How does living in a town compare with living in the country? What do they all think? Let’s start with you, James.James: Living in a town like Sheffield is wonderful. There is so much to do. My parents often go to the theatre or the cinema. I belong to a youth club and go to lots of discos. There’s a good swimming pool at the Sports Centre and a large library. Public transport is good, so it’s easy to get from one place to another. I live very near my school, so I can walk there, and it’s easy to visit my friends.Mike: So you’re very happy. What about you, Alice?Alice: Well, James is right in many ways. But I don’t like living in town. It’s very noisy with all the traffic, and rather dirty. I like going for long walks in the fresh air, but we’ve only got parks. I cycle to school to get some exercise but it’s rather dangerous, and car drivers shout at you. I don’t really like discos or cinemas. I like open fields and a peaceful life. Mike: So you’re a country girl at heart? Do you ag ree with her, David?David: Y es, I do. Y ou’re closer to nature in the country and it’s much quieter. Y ou can watch the plants and animals change with the seasons, and there’s more room to play out of doors.And people are more friendly. They seem to have more time, so they stop and talk to you.There’s less traffic too, so the air stays fresh.Mike: Do you agree with David, Louise?Louise: Not really. I think life in the country is very dull. It’s too quiet. And you can’t really play anywhere because the fields are full of crops and animals. There is less traffic, but people drive very fast on country roads, so they are quite dangerous. I don’t like animals. The nearest youth club is ten miles away. The worst thing is that I have to get up very early.Public transport is very bad in the country, so I have to catch a special school bus from the other end of the village. All my school friends live in different villages, and it’s difficult to see them out of school. Life’s much better in town.Mike: Well, w e don’t agree. Two for and two against. Well, where is it best to live? Can you think of any more points? Have a debate in your class and take a vote. Now it’s goodbye from James, Alice, David and Louise.All: Goodbye, everybody.Mike: Thank you for joining us and until next Radio Time. Goodbye from me.T ask 10【答案】Well, I think I’d prefer to live in a village because ... well, I think the people there are friendly and there is a lot of fresh air. I think life generally is healthier in a village and I like being close to nature. And it’s very important for my work as a writer to have peace and quiet.Well, I’d prefer to live in a city because there’s more going on. Er ... being an actress, I need to go to the cinema and the theatre and there’s far more entertainment in the city than there is in the country, Of course. I also like it because ... um ... people are more open-minded. Peopledon’t ... um ... mind what you do in the city. And for the shopping as well, I mean, I love going to the village shops, but the stores and shops in London can’t compare with anything.Y es, well, I prefer living in a village. It’s safer than a city and there’s less crime and of course there’s less traffic, so it’s much more pleasant. Then, it’s much cheaper than the city. There are…you know, rents are cheaper and so of course are house prices. It’s quiet, it’s…it’s peaceful. Y es, I much prefer living in a village.Y es you. Think of the children Roger. It seems to me that you’re so…so carried away with the idea…that you’re going to…the idea of buying a house at long last that…well…your personal likes and dislikes are…are making you anything but practical. Alex for example. He’ll be going to secondary school next year. And as far as I’m concerned the nearer the school the better. Have you read the description of your beautiful village house? Where is it? Y es, here we are. “Local primary school within walking distance” it says. That of course means that the nearest secondary school will be in Colchester.T ask 11【答案】to, are, of, is, in, for, to, to, of, or, of, to【原文】Is it better to rent furniture or to buy your own home furnishings? Today, many young people are renting instead of buying, and furniture rental is one of the fastest-growing businesses in the United States. The reason for this trend is quite simple. People prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture that they really like instead of buying used or cheap furniture. Renting has another advantage too. It saves people the cost of moving their furniture to other parts of the country when they relocate.T ask 12【答案】For many years, owning a home has been an important part of the American dream. Since the end of World War II, that dream has come true for a growing number of Americans. Just before the war, less than half of all families in the United States owned their own homes. Toda, about 65 percent do.Americans also are living in newer homes than at any other time in American history. The average home today is about 23 years old.Many of these new houses are in suburban areas, just outside America’s cities. About 30 years ago, builders started putting up houses in these areas by the hundreds, and sold them as quickly as they could build them. Today, 35 percent of all Americans live in suburban housing areas that did no exist 30 years ago. The remaining 65 are divided about equally, between cities and small towns.。

Today we’re going to be looking at different language learning styles. You may be surprised to find that there are different ways of going about learning languages, none of which is necessarily better than the others. Researchers have identified four basic learner “types”–the communicative learner, the analytical learner, the authority-oriented learner and the concrete learner. Communicative learners like to learn by watching and listening to native speakers. At home, they like to learn by watching TV and videos. They like to learn new words by hearing them. In class, they like to learn by having conversations. Now, concrete learners like to lean by playing games, by looking at pictures and videos in class, talking in pairs, and by listening to cassettes at home and school. Now, authority-oriented learners, on the other hand, like the teacher to explain everything. They like to write everything down in their notebook, and they like to have a textbook. They like to learn new words by seeing them. And finally, we have analytical learners. These learners like to learn by studying grammar. At home, they like to learn by studying English books, and they like to study by themselves. They like to find their own mistakes. Now, of course, it’s unusual for a person to be exclusively one “type” rather than another. Most of us are mixtures of styles. What type of learner do you think you are?Part II A3GCSE examinations students / higher educationstudent/ second year / high school / college general exam / School Certificatesitting University Entrance Examination bachelor’s degree: 3/ 4 yearsmaster’s degree: another year or two doctorate: a further 3-7 yearsWell, in Britain, from the ages of five to about eleven you start off at a primary school, and then from eleven to sixteen you go on to a secondary school or a comprehensive school and at sixteen you take GCSE examinations. After this, some children take vocational courses or even start work. Others stay on at school for another two years to take A levels. And at the age of eighteen, after A levels, they might finish their education or go on to a course of higher education at a college or university, and that’s usually for three years.Well, it depends on what state you’re in but most kids in the United States start school at about six when they go to elementary school and that goes from the first grade up to the sixth grade. Somekids go to a kindergarten the year before that. Then they go on to junior high school, that’s about eleven, and that’s the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. And then they go on to senior high school around age fourteen starting in the tenth grade and finishing in the twelfth grade usually. Some students will leave school at sixteen and they’ll start work, but most of them stay on to graduate from high school at age eighteen. In the first year at high school or college students are called “freshmen”, in the second they’re called “sophomores”, in the third year we call them “juniors”and in the fourth year they’re called “seniors”. Now a lot of high school graduates then go to college or university and they do a four-year first degree course. Some of them might go to junior college which is a two-year course.Well, in Australia, well most states anyway, children start their primary education at five after perhaps a brief time in kindergarten. They will stay at primary school until they’re about eleven, then they’ll either stay there or go to an intermediate school for a couple of years. Then they start high school usually twelve or thirteen, which you start in the third form. Now, after three years at high school you sit a general exam, some states call it School Certificate and that is a sort of general qualification and that if a sort of general qualification. After that you can leave school at sixteen or you can go on and sit your University Entrance Examination, which then gives you entrée into a university or it’s another useful qualification, and from then on you go to various sorts of higher education.Education in Canada is a provincial responsibility, but schools are administered by local school boards.Kindergarten is for children who are four or five years old. Children begin formal full-day schooling in Grade 1, when they are about six years old. They must stay in school at least until they are sixteen. However, most students continue to finish high school. Some go to college or university. Each year of schooling represents one grade. (The school year extends from the beginning of September to the end of June.) Elementary school includes kindergarten to about Grade 8. Secondary school (or high school) may start in Grade 8, 9, or 10 and it usually continues until Grade 12.In Canada, students may go to university or to a community college. If they want to learn skills for specific job, they attend college for one or four years to get a diploma or certificate. For example, lab technicians, child-care workers, and hotel managers go to college. Universities offer degree programs as well as training professions, such as law, medicine, and teaching.Universities offer three main levels of degrees. Students earn a bachelor’s degree after three or four years of study. A master’s degree can take another year or two. A doctorate may take a further three to seven years to complete.B1 Idioms / vocabulary / French / spelling / pronunciationB2 1. F 2. T 3. FI – Interviewer P – ProfessorI: And now we have an interview with Professor J. T. Lingo, Professor of Linguistics at Chimo University, who is here to talk to us about the growing business of teaching English. Good morning, professor Lingo.P: Good morning.I: I understand that teaching English is becoming “big business” all around the world.P: It seems that language schools are springing up everywhere.I: Why is that?P: With the move toward a global economy, English has become the most widely used language in the world. It is the language of business, aviation, science and international affairs and people find that they must learn English to compete in those fields.I: And do people find English an easy language to learn?P: Well, every language has something about it that other people find difficult to learn. English is such a hodgepodge of different languages – it’s essentially Germanic but a lot of its vocabulary comes from French, and technical words stem from Latin and Greek. This feature makes English fairly adaptable – which is a good thing for a world language – but it causes irregularity in spelling and pronunciation.I: English spelling baffles me, too.P: English also has the largest vocabulary. Often there are words for the same thing, one is Anglo-Saxon and one from the French – like “buy” which is Anglo-Saxon and “purchase” which is from the French. The French word often has more prestige.I: Anglo-Saxon?P: That’s the word for Old English. The Norman Conquest in 1066 brought the French language to Britain and helped English evolve into the English it is today.I: Is there anything else particularly difficult about English?P: Well, the idioms in informal English pose a problem for some students.I: Informal English?P: As with any language, there are different varieties: slang, colloquial. Formal, written, as well as the different dialects – British, American and Canadian English.I: And how is Canadian English different from American and British?P: Canadian English is closer to American in pronunciation and idiom. Some of our words and our spellings do reflect British usage, however. We wouldn’t use the British term “lorry” for truck, but we have kept the “o-u-r” spellings in words such as “honour” and “colour”.I: This has been very interesting. I’m afraid we’re out of time. It has been a pleasure talking to you.Part III University Life A1 I. Age / Foreign student population II. 15 hrs (+2 or 3 for lab) / Discussion group: 15-20 / much smaller / informal, friendly / 2-3 hrs: 1 hrToday I’d like to give you some idea about how life at an American university or college might be different from the way it is in your country. To be sure, the student body on a U. S. campus is a pretty diverse group of people. First of all, you will find students of all ages. Although most students start college at around the age of 18, you will see students in their 30s and 40s and even occasionally in their 60s and 70s. Students on a U.S. campus come from a wide variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Many students work at least part-time, some of them work full-time. Many students live in dormitories on campus, some have their own apartments usually with other students, and others live at home. Some colleges and universities have a very diverse student population with many racial and ethnic minorities. Some schools have a fairly large foreign student population. So you can see that one meets all kinds of people on a U.S. college or university campus. Now that you have some general idea of differences in the student population, I’d like to talk a few minutes about what I think an average student is and then discuss with you what a typical class might be like.Let’s begin my talking about an average student entering his or her freshman year. Of course, such a person never really exists, but still it’s convenient to talk about an “average”student for ourpurposes. Foreign students are often surprised at how poorly prepared American students are when they enter a university. Actually, at very select schools the students are usually very well prepared, but at less selective schools, they may not be as well prepared as students in your country are. Schools in the States simply admit a lot more students than is usual in most other countries. Also, most young American university students have not traveled in other countries and are not very well-versed in international matters and do not know a lot about people from other countries. Foreign students usually find them friendly but not very well-informed about their countries or cultures.What kind of academic experiences will this so-called “average”student have? The average undergraduate student takes five classes a semester and is in class for 15 hours a week. If her or she takes a class that has a laboratory, this will require tow or three more hours. Many introductory undergraduate classes are given in large lectures of 100 or more students. However, many of these classes will have small discussion groups of 15 to 20 students that meet once a week. In these smaller groups, a teaching assistant will lead a discussion to help classify points in the lectures. Other kinds of classes – for example, language classes – will be much smaller so that students can practice language. In general, American professors are informal and friendly with their students, and, as much as possible, they expect and invite participation in the form of discussion. A large amount of reading and other work is often assigned to be done outside class, and students are expected to take full responsibility for completing these assignments and asking questions in class about those areas they don’t understand. As a rule of thumb, students spend two to three hours preparing for each hour they spend in class. American professors often encourage their students to visit them during office hours, especially if the students are having problems in the class.A2 II. Examinations / quizzesIII. Graduate school / Seminars / some area of interest / a research paperLet’s move on now to discuss student obligations in a typical American class. These obligations are usually set down in the course syllabus. A syllabus is generally handed out to students on the first or second class meeting. A good syllabus will give students a course outline that mentions all the topics to be covered in class. It will also contain all the assignments and the dates they should be completed by. An average university course of one semester might have three examinations or two examinations and a paper. The dates of the examinations and what the examinations will cover should be on the syllabus. If a paper id required, the date it is due should also be in the syllabus. The professor may also decide that he or she will be giving quizzes during the semester, either announced or unannounced. For students coming from a system where there is one examination in each subject at the end of the year, all this testing can be a little surprising at first. By the by, maybe this would be a good place for me to mention the issue of attendance. Another real difference in our system is out attendance policies. Perhaps you come from a system where attendance is optional. Generally speaking, American professors expect regular attendance and may even grade you down if you are absent a lot. All this information should be on your syllabus, along with the professor’s office number and office hours.I have only a couple of hours left, and I’d like to use them to talk about how graduate school is somewhat different from undergraduate school. Of course, it’s much more difficult to enter graduate school, and most students are highly qualified and high motivated. Students in graduate school are expected to do much more independent work than those in undergraduate schools, withregularly scheduled exams, etc. some classes will be conducted as seminars. In a seminar class, there may be no exams, but students are expected to read rather widely on topics and be prepared for thorough discussion of them in class. Another possibility in graduate classes is that in addition to readings done by all students, each student may also be expected to work independently in some area of interest and later make a presentation that summarizes what her or she has learned. Usually each student then goes on to write a paper on what he or she has researched to turn in to the professor for a grade.I hope that today’s lecture has given you some idea about student life on an American campus and that you have noticed some difference between our system and yours.B2 to make mistakes / every new thing / the language/ Working outside the classroomPassive / the teach / stick his neck out / more likely to be right than himselfHow would you describe a good student or a bad student, sort of things they do or don’t do in the classroom?He’s eager to experiment with every new thing that he learns, whether it be a structure of a function or a new word, he immediately starts trying to use it.He’s interested in the mistakes he makes, he’s not afraid to make them.He’s not simply interested in having it corrected and moving on?He plays with language.I’ve done this chapter I know this, without trying to experiment at all, without really testing himself.He’s usually passive, he won’t speak up much in the classroom. He’ll rarely ask you why this …Just sort of accepts what you give him and doesn’t do anything more with it.… and in a test he’s the one person who’s likely to suddenly realize that he wasn’t too sure about that after all.And peep over at his neighbor’s paper.An alternative learning strategy.He invariably decides that the other person is more likely to be right than himself. That’s the result of this sort of unwillingness to make mistakes and stick his neck out.That characterizes the good or bad learner?He’ll do more off his own bat as well, he won’t rely entirely on the teacher.He’ll work outside the classroom as well as in it.Students who make most progress are first of all those who experiment and secondly those who read books.Part IV University Campus A2. the History Department3. the Psychology Department4. the Library5. the Education Department6. the Philosophy Department7. the Geography Department8. the Sports Ground9. the Foreign Languages Department 10. the Chinese Department 11. the Physics Department 12. the Mathematics Department 13. the Chemistry Department 14. the Clinic 15. the Auditorium 16. the Administration BuildingLook at the map.

If you look at the biggest cities in 1950, seven out of the top ten were in the developed countries but by the year 2000, the developing countries will have eight out of the top ten. New York, which in 1950 was number one with a population of around 12 million, will only be the sixth largest city in the world but with an extra 2 million.I: And London?E: London, which was number two, won’t even be in the top ten.

Why are people moving to the big cities from the country in the developing countries?E: The reasons are complex but many are moving to look for work. And the problems this creates are enormous.

That’s why the conductor got so annoyed.【原文】A strange thing happened to Henri yesterday. He was on a bus and wanted to get off. So he stood up and rang the bell. To make sure the driver heard him he rang it twice, but the bus didn’t stop, and the conductor came and shouted at him.The conductor was so annoyed, and spoke so fast, that Henri didn’t understand a word. The bus stopped at the next bus stop and Henri got off. As he got off he heard someone say, “I think he’s a foreigner.”When Henri got home, he told his landlady about the incident.“How many times did you ring the bell?” she asked.“Twice,” said Henri.“Well, that’s the signal for the driver to go on,” his landlady explained. “Only the conductor is allowed to ring the bell twi ce. That’s why he got so annoyed.”Henri nodded. “I see,” he said.T ask 2【答案】1) T, 2) F, 3) F, 4) F, 5) T, 6) T【原文】The Taylor family, who live in North London, are planning to spend a day in Norwich.

When their children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turns driving them to school.2) they can save gasoline and it is easier for them to find parking places3) too many cars are on the road and have created many problems【原文】The United States is full of automobiles. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or even more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. They are a necessary part of life.Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. One mother drives on Mondays, taking her own children and the neighbors’ children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesdays and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and use less gasoline. Parking is a great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.T ask 4【答案】1) T, 2) F, 3) T, 4) F【原文】Mr. Fine: Can anyone in the class explain some differences between a zip code and an area code?Mary: Both of them are numbers.Mr. Fine: That’s how they are alike. But how are they different?Mary: A zip code is for mailing letters. An area code is for making phone calls,Mr. Fine: What kind of phone calls?Mary: Long distance calls.Mr. Fine: All right. And what is a zip code?Mary: When I write a letter to my friends in New Y ork City, I write 10027 on the envelope.That’s their zip code. I have some other friends i n New Y ork City, but their zip code is10003.Mr. Fine: In a big city there are different zip codes for different parts of the city. What about area codes?Mary: Sometimes a whole small city has the same area code.Mr. Fine: That’s right. And sometimes a whole state has the same area code if it doesn’t have many telephones. For example, the area code for the whole state of Arizona is 802.Mary: But New Y ork State has millions of telephones, so it has more than one area code.T ask 5【答案】A.1) c, 2) b, 3) a, 4) c, 5) a, 6) c, 7) b, 8) cB.1) would have got up on time2) would have woken up James3) would have been on the plane that crashed4) would have lost his life in the crash【原文】James wrote a play for television about an immigrant family who came to England from Pakistan, and the problems they had settled down in England. The play was surprisingly successful, and it was bought by an American TV company.James was invited to go to New Y ork to help with the production. He lived in Dulwich, which is an hour’s journey away from Heathrow. The flight was due to leave at 8:30 am, so he had to be at the airport about 7:30 in the morning. He ordered a mini-cab for 6:30, set his alarm for 5:45, and went to sleep. Unfortunately he forgot to wind the clock, and it stopped shortly after midnight. Also the driver of the mini-cab had to work very late that night and overslept.James woke with that awful feeling that something was wrong. He looked at his alarm clock. It stood there silently, with the hands pointing to 12:10. He turned on the radio and discovered that it was, in fact, ten to nine. He swore quietly and switched on the electric kettle.He was just pouring the boiling water into the teapot when the nine o’clock pips sounded on the radio. The announcer began to read the news, “... reports are coming in of a crash near Heathrow Airport. A Boeing 707 bound for New Y ork crashed shortly after taking off this morning. Flight number 2234...” James turned pale.“My flight,” he said out loud. “If I hadn’t overslept, I’d have been on that plane”.T ask 6【答案】A.1) 1964, the United States2) safety belts3) 404) about 155) 24B.1) They do not smoke while driving.2) They have had more education than non-users.3) They know someone who was injured (but not killed) in an automobile accident.C.the importance of using seat belts in driving【原文】According to the American Automobile Association, since 1964 all cars sold in the United States have been equipped with seat belts. (These are also called safety belts.) Many studies of automobile accidents have shown that safety belts can save lives. One study showed that 40 percent of those killed in auto accidents could have been saved if they had been wearing seat belts.Unfortunately belts are worn only by a small percentage of drivers and passengers — about 15 percent in cities, and only 9 percent in small towns. And safety belts cannot protect people who do not wear them.In order to find out what kinds of people do wear seat belts a study was made in seven cities in the United States. The following facts were learned about those who use their safety belt:1. They do not smoke while driving.2. They have had more education than non-users.3. They know someone who was injured (but not killed) in an automobile accident.Advertisements based on these facts have been printed in newspapers and magazines in order to teach people the importance of using seat belts. But these advertisements have not helped much. Some people believe there should be a law requiring drivers and passengers to use safety belts. In Australia, where there is such a law, deaths in auto accidents have decreased 24 percent.T ask 7【答案】A.1) Miss Brown.2) Mr. Phillips was Miss Brown’s boss.3) He sounded very angry.4) He had been in a traffic jam for more than an hour.B.1) congested2) alternative routes3) South Circular Road4) broken down5) blown down, in useC.1)T, 2)F, 3)F, 4)F, 5)TD.1) He left home at the usual time and decided to use a new route.2) The traffic lights were out of order because of the storms last night.3) After that there was a breakdown.4) He ran out of petrol.5) He was in traffic jams for three hours.【原文】PartⅠ(Telephone ringing constantly.

It is home for more than half a million Canadians, and this population may well be much closer to three quarters of a million or more by the end of the century. Downtown Calgary is famous: the tall office buildings in the center of the city were in the “Superman” mov ies. But Calgary is also the home of a very modern transport system, and the Light Rail Transit (LRT) is part of it.The rail system was chosen because the cost of energy is not so great as with a bus system, because it is much easier to carry a greater number of passengers by train than by bus or car, and because the noise and pollution is not so great as with buses and cars.But what is the LRT? It is a 12.5-kilometre route, above and below ground. The light train cars are made in Germany and Canada. In Germany they are made by Siemens in Dusseldorf, and then taken to Canada where final assembly is done in Calgary. Each car is just over 24 metres long, and each train is operated by only one man — the driver. The driver is in a separate cabin, and he can’t talk to passengers.The trains stop for about 30 seconds at each station, and passengers who want to get in or out must open the doors themselves.Automatic ticket machines are placed on the platforms. Passengers can buy a ticket from these, or they can buy special monthly tickets called zipcards. However, if passengers are caught without a ticket they may get a $25 fine.T ask 9【答案】A.1) deaths and people injured2) drivers, pedestrians, and road conditions3) may cause drivers and pedestrians endanger lives through no fault of their own4) too many road signs, faulty traffic lights, sudden narrowing of a street, and congested parkinga) drive too fast and without any consideration for othersb) think they are safe at the wheel even though they have drunk too much alcoholc) out of some curious sense of power, are incapable of understanding that their car is a lethalweapon if improperly used6)a) step off the pavement without first looking to the left or rightb) cross roads when the traffic lights are against themc) jump off a moving busB.Pedestrians, drivers and road conditions are all to blame for road accidents.【原文】There are far too many road accidents in this country: too many deaths and too many people injured. One wonders who are most to blame: drivers or pedestrians. Some people say that the blame cannot be put fairly without considering the state of the roads and the whole transport system. In crowded cities like London, Birmingham or Manchester, road conditions are so chaotic that both driver and pedestrian often endanger lives through no fault of their own. Such deficiencies as too many road signs, faulty traffic lights, sudden narrowing of a street, congested parking are all a sure indication of bad road conditions.On the other hand, many experts are convinced that the larger part of the blame for the death toll must be put on persons and persons alone: drivers who drive too fast and without any consideration for others, drivers who think they are safe at the wheel even though they have drunk too much alcohol, drivers who, out of some curious sense of power, are incapable of understanding that their car is a lethal weapon if improperly used. Pedestrians, likewise, must share the guilt: stepping off the pavement without first looking to the left or right, crossing roads when the traffic lights are against them, jumping off a moving bus. To be fair, pedestrians, drivers and road conditions are all to blame.One looks forward to the day when the motor car has been replaced by some less dangerous means of transport.T ask 10【答案】A.1) 11, 2) Over 400, 3) Over 4,000, 4) $ 400, 5) 60 daysB.1) Most people are going to die from accidents caused by drunk drivers.2) Joe’s sister is worried because it’s getting late and he is drunk.3) The green Ford that Joe is driving is weaving from left to right.4) When Officer Williams asks Joe to walk along the white line, he can’t do it. Joe also fails the breath test.5) He’s going to appear in court next week. He is going to receive a $400 fine. The judge is also going to suspend his license for sixty days.C.enjoying, family party, leave, stay, wait, drives, fine, slowly, had, drinks【原文】It’s a holiday weekend. The police officers were sitting in a hot room receiving instructions from their captain. One of these officers was Ed Williams. He and ten other officers were on special duty. This weekend alone, over 400 people are going to die from accidents caused by drunk drivers. Over 4,000 people are going to receive serious injuries, all caused by drunk drivers. The officers are going to try to prevent these accidents before they happen．Meanwhile, Joe Forest is enjoying himself at a family party. It’s getting late and he’s telling his sister that he’s going to leave. She’s asking him to stay and wait a few hours before he drives. “Don’t worry. I’m going to be fine. I’m going to drive slowly. I only had a few drinks.”Officer Williams is at a toll booth, watching cars enter the area. A green Ford is approaching, weaving from left to right. Officer Williams stops the car and tells Joe to get out. He asks Joe to walk along the white line. Joe can’t do it. Joe also fails the breath test. Officer Williams is telling Joe that he’s going to issue him a summons. And he can’t drive his car home. Joe calls his sister. She’s going to come and drive him home.This was Joe’s first offense. He’s going to appear in court next week. He is going to receive a $400 fine. The judge is also going to suspend his license for 60 days. This first time, other drivers were lucky. Joe didn’t kill them. But what about the future, is Joe going to stop drinking and driving?T ask 11【答案】If you are a daily Transit rider, carry a zipcard. It’s quick, convenient and gives you unlimited rides on any regular Calgary Transit service. The zipcard saves you money too! Pay the adult fare of 90c, twice a day for 22 working days each month, adds up to $39.60. But a zipcard costs just $31 a month. It also saves you the extra 10c on all express buses. Buy a zipcard and take advantage of the best way to ride.。

二十一世纪大学实用英语（第一册）课后答案及课文翻译二十一世纪大学实用英语（第一册）课后答案及课文翻译，21世纪大学实用英语综合教程（第一册）课后答案及课文翻译UNIT1作为一名一年级新生初进大学时，我害怕自己在学业上搞不好。

我害怕独自一人在外，因为我是第一次远离家人。

这里周围都是我不认识的人，而他们也不认识我。

我得和他们交朋友，或许还得在我要学的课程上跟他们在分数上进行竞争。

他们比我更聪明吗？我跟得上他们吗？他们会接受我吗？我很快就认识到，我的生活现在就取决于我自己了。

如果我要在学业上取得成功，我就必须制定一份学习计划。

我必须调整花在学习上的时间和花在社交上的时间。

我必须决定什么时候上床睡觉，什么时候吃什么，什么时候喝什么，对什么人表示友好。

这些问题我都得自己回答。

开始时，生活有点艰难。

我在怎样利用时间上犯了错误。

我在交朋友上花的时间太多了。

我还在怎样选择大学里的第一批朋友上犯了一些错误。

然而不久，我就控制住了自己的生活。

我做到了按时上课，完成并交上了第一批作业，而且以相当好的成绩通过了前几次考试。

此外，我还交了一些朋友，跟他们在一起我感到很自在，我能把我担心的事告诉他们。

我建立了一种真正属于我自己的常规——一种满足了我的需要的常规。

结果，我开始从一个不同的视角看待我自己了。

我开始把自己看作是一个对自己负责也对朋友和家人负责的人。

凡事自己做决定并看到这些决定最终证明是明智的决定，这种感觉很好。

我猜想这就是人们所说的“成长”的一部分吧。

我未来的生活将会怎样呢？在人生的这一阶段，我真的不能确定我的人生之路最终将会走向何方，我真的不知道在以后的几年中我会做什么。

但我知道，我能应对未来，因为我已经成功地跃过了我生命中的这一重要障碍：我已经完成了从一个依赖家人给予感情支持的人向一个对自己负责的人的过渡。

In 1762 the first written record of the word “sandwich” appeared in the diary of the English author Edward Gibbons, who remembered seeing the wealthiest men in the country eating “a bit of cold meat” between pieces of bread. Gibbons did not think this was very appropriate behavior for such men. The snack was named after the Fourth Earl of Sandwich. Sandwich was a frequent gambler, and was so addicted to gambling that he would often refuse to stop even to eat meals! To avoid having to stop gambling, the Earl of Sandwich asked the cooks at his gambling club to prepare him a meal consisting of beef between two slices of bread, so that he always had one hand free to play cards and gamble, and his hands wouldn’t become dirty from the meat.When other men saw what he was eating, they began to order “The same as Sandwich!”, and so the sandwich was born — beginning as a snack for some of the wealthiest men in England! It quickly became popular and widespread as a quick and easy food to eat.16.B Where did the first written record of the word “sandwich” appear?A) In the diary of the Fourth Earl.B) In the diary of an English author.C) In the diary of a wealthiest man.D) In the diary of a gambler.17.C Whom was the word “sandwich” named after?A) A poor gambler.B) An English author.C) The Fourth Earl of Sandwich.D) The wealthiest man in England.18.D Why did the Fourth Earl of Sandwich ask the cook to make him sandwiches?A) B ecause the cook couldn’t make him anything but sandwiches.B) Because he didn’t feel like eating other food.C) Because he enjoyed eating sandwiches.D) Because he could play cards and eat his meals atthe same time.19-21Eating out is more popular in Britain today than it has ever been. As British do not dine out every night of the week, eating in a restaurant is often seen as a special occasion. When going on a first date, or celebrating an anniversary or a birthday, many people like to go to a restaurant to eat, and people often eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theatre. As in all cultures, there are many rules of etiquette surrounding food and eating in a restaurant. People are almostalways expected to eat with a knife and fork — these should be held in the correct hand and used in the correct way! It is also impolite to have your elbows on the dining table when you are eating.As well as dining in a restaurant, when people are too tired to cook after work they often get a “take-away”. This means that they order from a take-away restaurant by phone, and then go to collect it and take it home to eat. Many take-out restaurants also deliver to your house. Whilst you can normally find a take-out restaurant for almost any cuisine, the most popular are pizza, Indian and Chinese — and then all you have to do is open the door, pay and eat!19.C When do people in Britain usually go to restaurant?A) Every day.B) When they feel too tired to cook.C) When they celebrate a birthday or an anniversary.D) When they feel sick.20.D What does “take-away” mean?A) People order their food and restaurants deliver to their office.B) People order their food and eat in the restaurant.C) People order their food and eat outside the restaurant.D) People order their food from a restaurant by phone and take it home to eat.21.B What is this passage mainly about?A) Take-away restaurants in Britain.B) Restaurant culture in Britain.C) The popularity of eating in fancy restaurants in Britain.D) Rules of etiquette surrounding food and eating in Britain.22-25Food experts say it’s all too easy to lose the medical benefits of vegetables by boiling or freezing their nutrients away. Here are the best ways to prepare your vegetables —and how you can maximize nutrient levels through cooking. There are two ways that vegetables lose vitamins and minerals, says Anna Denny, a scientist at the British Nutrition Foundation. “The first is w hen nutrients get into water when boiled. The second is when they are broken down through heat. Obviously it is difficult not to heat vegetables, so the key is to heat them for a brief amount of time — two to three minutes at most.”If the vegetables are still crunchy when you eat them, then they’re probably still packed with nutrients. If they are tender and soft, they’re not. The best way to cook a vegetable is to steam it in a very small amount of water. Make sure that the water is hot to start with, so that the vegetables don’t have to be in the steamer for very long. The microwave may be seen as the most evil appliance in the kitchen, but microwaving is far better than boiling. Again, use only a tiny amount ofwater and heat for no more than three minutes.Stir-frying is a good way to cook vegetables. Don’t use too much fatty oil. The only vegetable you should boil is the potato, says Denny. If you absolutely have to boil your vegetables, you can consume their leached-out nutrients by keeping the water and using it to make fresh soup.22.A According to Anna Denny, how long should vegetables be cooked?A) Two to three minutes at most.B) Two to three minutes at least.C) Three minutes at least.D) No more than two minutes.23.C What is the best way to cook vegetables?A) Boil for five minutes.B) Stir-fry with fatty oil.C) Steam in small amount of water.D) Microwave in a lot of water.24.B What does Anna Denny say about the microwave?A) Microwave cannot be used to cook vegetables.B) Using microwave to cook vegetables is better than boiling vegetables.C) Microwave is the worst kitchen appliance.D) Microwaving is the best way to cook vegetables.25.D What is the passage mainly about?A) The medical benefits of vegetables.B) The benefits of eating vegetables.C) The best ways to cook potatoes.D) Better ways to cook vegetables.UNIT28-11W:Hello, Tom, I’m going to ask you some questions about pets. OK, first question, do you have a pet?M:Yes, in fact, in my mom’s house we have three pets, two dogs and a cat. My family actually raises dogs for helping blind people.W:Oh, really?M:Yeah, yeah.W:Wow, how do you train the dogs?M:Well, I mean, it’s a long process, right...we get them when they’re puppies ... and so we train them basic ... you know, sit, come ... really basic things ... then, after they’re about two years old, they go to a different training school.W: Oh, wow, that’s great! How many dogs do they train at a time?M:Oh, just one dog at a time.W:Do you ever see the dogs you trained, like out on the street, or anything? M:Sometimes, we get to see them once in a while.W:Oh, that’s cool. Um, the second question, why do people keep pets?M:I guess the most important thing is companionship, right!W:Yeah, that’s true.

They can find missing people and things like bombs and illegal drugs. Now a study suggests that the animal known as man’s best friend can even find bladder cancer.Cancer cells are thought to produce chemicals with unusual odors. Researchers think dogs have the ability to smell these odors, even in very small amounts, in urine. The sense of smell in dogs is thousands of times better than in humans.The study follows reports of cases where, for example, a dog showed great interest in a growth on the leg of its owner. The mole was later found to be skin cancer.A team of researchers in England trained different kinds of dogs for the experiment. The study involved urine collected from bladder cancer patients, from people with other diseases and from healthy people. In all, thirty-six bladder cancer patients and one hundred and eight other people took part. The study found that the dogs chose the correct sample twenty-two out of fifty-four times. That is almost three times more often than would be expected by chance alone.Researchers say dogs could help scientists identify the compounds produced by bladder cancer. That information could then be used to develop machines to test for the chemicals.
