The working people very often make fun of the proper and formal language of the educated people.10.The rebellion against a cultural dominance is still there.There still exists in the working people,as in the early Saxon peasants,a spirit of opposition to the cultural authority of the ruling class.11.There is always a great danger, as Carlyle put it, that "words will harden into things for us."There is always a great danger that we might forget that words are only symbols and take them for things they are supposed to represent.Lesson 2 Marrakech1.The burying-ground is merely a huge waste of hummocky earth, like a derelict building-lot. The burying-ground is nothing more than a huge piece of wasteland full of mounds of earth looking like a deserted and abandoned piece of land on which a building was going to be put up.2.All colonial empires are in reality founded upon this fact.All the imperialists build up their empires by treating the people in the colonies like animals.3.They rise out of the earth,they sweat and starve for a few years, and then they sink backinto the nameless mounds of the graveyard.They are born. Then for a few years they work, toil and starve. Finally they die and are buried in graves without a name, and nobody notices that they are dead.4. A carpenter sits cross-legged at a prehistoric lathe, turning chair-legs at lightning speed.Sitting with his legs crossed and using a very old-fashioned lathe, a carpenter quickly gives a round shape to the chair-legs he is making.5.Instantly, from the dark holes all round, there was a frenzied rush of Jews.Immediately from their dark hole-like cells everywhere a great number of Jews rushed out wildly excited.6.Every one of them looks on a cigarette as a more or less impossible luxury.Every one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a piece of luxury which they could not possibly afford.7.Still, a white skin is always fairly conspicuous.However, a white-skinned European is always quite noticeable.8.In a tropical landscape one's eye takes in everything except the human beings.If you take a look at the natural scenery in a tropical region, you see everything but thehuman beings.9.No one would think of running cheap trips to the Distressed Areas.No one would think of organizing cheap trips for the tourists to visit the poor slum areas (for these trips would not be interesting).10.For nine-tenths of the people the reality of life is an endless back-breaking struggle to wring alittle food out of an eroded soil.life is very hard for ninety percent of the people.With hard backbreaking toil they canproduce a little food on the poor soil only with hard backbreaking toil.11.She accepted her status as an old woman, that is to say as a beast of burden.She took it for granted that as an old woman she was the lowest in the community,that。
Paraphrase1.The words spat forth with sudden savagery, all pretense of blandness gone.2.When they find who done that last night, who killed that kid an' its mother, then high-tailed it, they'll throw the book,and never mind who it hits, or whether they got fancy titles neither.3.The Duchess of Croydon – three centuries and a half of inbred arrogance behind her – did not yield easily.4.Even the self-assurance of Ogilvie flickered for an instant.5.The house detective took his time, leisurely puffing a cloud of blue cigar smoke, his eyes sardonically on theDuchess as if challenging her objection.6.There ain't much, out of the way, which people who stay in this hotel do, I don't get to hear about.7.The Duchess of Croydon kept firm, tight rein on her racing mind.8.And when they stopped for petrol, as they would have to, their speech and manner would betray them, making themconspicuous.9.There must be no mistake, no vacillation or dallying because of her own smallness of mind.参考答案1.Ogilvie spat out the words with great contempt and sudden rudeness, throwing away his pretended politeness.2.When they find who killed the mother and the kid and then ran away, they will deal out the maximum punishment,and they will not care who will be punished in this case or what their social position is.3.The Duchess was supported by her arrogance coming from parents of noble families who belonged to the nobilityfor more than three hundred years. So she did not give in easily.4.The Duchess was a good actress and she appeared so firm about their innocent that, for a brief moment, Ogilvie feltunsure if his assumption about them was right. But the moment was very short and passed quickly.5.The house detective was in no hurry. He enjoyed his cigar and puffed a cloud of blue cigar smoke in a relaxedmanner. At the same time, his eyes were fixed disdainfully on the Duchess as if openly daring her to object to his smoking a cigar, as she had done earlier.6.If anybody who stays in this hotel does anything wrong, improper or unusual, I always get to know about it. Thereisn’t much that can escape me.7.The Duchess kept firm and tight control of her mind which is working quickly. Here the Duchess is thinking quicklybut at the same time keeping her thoughts under control, not letting them run wild.8.And when they stopped for petrol, as it would be necessary, their speech and manner would reveal their identity.British English would be particularly noticeable in the south.9.She mustn’t make any mistakes in her plan, or waver in mind and show decision or deal with the situation carelesslydue to small mindedness. In other words, she has to take a big chance, to do something very daring, so she must be bold, resolute and decisive. She has to rise to the occasion.Translation1)不用着急慢慢来。

When the level of carbon dioxide emission in the air becomes high, heat will find it difficult to get through it to go into higher altitudes. Thus the temperature of the earth gets warmer.4.Considering such scenarios is not a purely speculative exercise.Thinking about how a series of events might happen as a consequence of the thinning of the polar cap is not just a kind of practice in conjecture :It has got practical value.5.Acre by acre,the rainforest is being burned to create fast pasture for fast-food beef..

《高级英语》第三版是什么样的书?《高级英语》第一版由张汉熙主编,于1980年由商务印书馆出版,已经走过了三十年的历程,对于一本教科书来说,寿命可算是长的,但至今仍有旺盛的生命力,因为它经过了两次修订,即两次吐故纳新:1995年由外研社出版修订版;2011年外研社出版了第三版。
张汉熙教授在主编《高级英语》中做出了特别重要的贡献。
张汉熙于1921年出生印度,母亲为印度人,父亲是中国人。
1942年毕业于印度加尔各答大学(注:加尔各答大学创建于1857年,是印度3所历史最悠久、规模最大的综合性大学之一。
被NAAC评价为五星级大学。
2005年,加尔各答大学在Times评出的全球最佳人文大学中排名第39位)。
1948年回国执教。
曾在辅仁大学任教,解放后分到华北革大研究院,后调到北京外国语学院任教。
70年代末,系里决定把多年选用的高年级精读教材编辑成书,这个任务交给张汉熙老师。
他的确是最佳人选,不仅因为他一直教授此课,积累了丰富宝贵的教学经验,而且他精通英语,有外国专家的优势。
他是编写这样一本教材的最佳人选,他具备独特的资格:精通英语,母语为英语;数十年的教育生涯全部贡献给高年级阅读和写作的教学,积累了丰富宝贵的教学经验。
也就是说,他既具备一位中国教师长期从事第一线教学经验,又具备一位母语为外语的外国专家的英语水准。
此外,他的聪明才智、准确的判断力和惊人的记忆力在编写此书中发挥了至关重要的作用。
《高级英语》以及修订版是他一生教学的结晶。
当我阅读周燕主编的《用精神行走的人》时,我注意到比我年长、我尊重的许多老师在谈到他们如何学习英语时提到了张汉熙教授,他们无一例外地对他的英语水平赞叹佩服,连加拿大专家伊莎白都说,张汉熙是真正的学者。
1995年由外研社出版的修订版(张汉熙主编,王立礼编)继续发扬了第一版的优点,更加强调贯彻文化教学与人文关怀的宗旨。
所新增的课文比较新,题材方面更加重视体现当代人们所关注的重大问题,如环境保护,这在当时的精读课文是极少的,说明新课文的选择有前瞻性。
1. We’re 23 feet above sea level.2. The house has been here since 1915, and no hurricane has ever caused any damage to it.3.
