一人了,现在却要等到天快亮时才会有空座,小伙子们熬夜熬出了眼袋,他们脸色苍白,睡眼惺忪,却很自豪,好像这些都是表彰他们勤奋好学的奖章。
(2)明天行吗?明天只是个谎言;根本就没有什么明天,只有一张我们常常无法兑现的期票。明天甚至压根儿就不存在。你早上醒来时又是另一个今天了,同样的规则又可以全部套用。明天只是现在的另一种说法,是一块空地,除非我们开始在那里播种,否则它永远都是空地。你的时间会流逝(时间就在我们说话的当下滴答滴答地走着,每分钟顺时针走60秒,如果你不能很好地利用它,它就会走得更快些),而你没有取得任何成就来证明它的存在,唯独留下遗憾,留下一面后视镜,上面写满了“本可以做”“本应该做”“本来会做”的事情。
7.(1)Students differ about whether they should have their future mapped out when they are still at university.Some think they should have a definite goal and detailed plan, so as to brace themselves for any challenges, whereas some others think they don’t have to think much about the future , because future is full of uncertainties.(2)After a very careful check-up ,the scientist was told he had got a fatal disease.Although he knew that his life was ticking away ,instead of complaining about the fate ,the scientist decided to make the best of the remaining days ,and speed up the research project he and his colleagues initiated ,and have a shot at completing it ahead of schedule.Unit2 Active reading 5.definite perpetual whirl blaze giggle prompt tumble 6.prompted definite whirl perpetual blazing giggling tumbled 7.blinked barren tag torture resemblance napkin 8.a a b a

啸而过。他长得太像我的舅舅弗兰克了,舅舅那会正跟妈妈和我住在一起。当超人的斗篷神奇地旋转时,我好像能听见上百只海鸥的振翅声,上千架飞机的马达轰鸣声。
(2)相反,根据海伦·莫顿的研究,太平洋岛国汤加的儿童经常挨父母和哥哥姐姐的打。人们认为儿童和成年人相比更像疯子,因为他们缺乏被大家看中的社会能力(汤加人称之为poto)。小孩子经常因为笨手笨脚而挨骂,他们连摔跤都会被嘲笑﹑呵斥,甚至被打。人们认为儿童很顽皮,都是因为淘气他们才哭闹,或者要东西吃。在大人看来,三至五岁的儿童尤其任性,因此他们打这个年龄段的孩子也打得最狠。孩子们相信,只有靠训导和体罚才能使孩子获得社会能力,所以他们用一种在外人看来非常严厉的方式对待孩子。
5(1)At the railway station , an old man told me his experience in the Liberation War , the fighting stories of which were of great fascination to me.Then he got up on the train and it roared past me.But the stories were so real and definite that I greatly marveled at the courageous deeds of those war heroes.(2)Effective environmental policy might bring about a good environment , as well as reducing energy consumption.Looking back on the recent development of this region , we find , to our pleasant surprise , that little exception has been taken to the environmental policy of the local government , and the policy has raised the environmental awareness of the local residents and prompted them to save energy as possible as they

题吧,要明确悲伤的性质。是悲观厌世的悲伤,还是无可奈何的悲伤?是时运不济的悲伤,还是强颜欢笑的悲伤?
(2)我们对《戴珍珠耳环的少女》的了解比对维梅尔的其他作品都少。实际上,这种无法解释的背景资料的缺失甚至会使得该画更受欢迎。正因为如此神秘,这幅画先是成了一部小说的主题,而后又被一部电影所采纳。它们都试图揭开有关这幅画的一些谜题,其中一个是:女孩那双睁得大大的眼睛,以及那一丝神秘的微笑,到底是天真还是诱惑?像小说或电影这类媒介更适合作出回答。
7(1)As the wedding ceremony was approaching, Susan had become quite anxious.She could not pin down what exactly was troubling her.After a long talk with her close friend Kate, she realized that, although she was 28 years old, she was not emotionally mature enough to be ready for marriage and she was not sure whether the marriage would guarantee her a happy family life.(2)
She knew that Chinese students had a way of shying away from revealing their feelings or opinions, due not merely to their lack of confidence in spoken English, but to their belief in the virtue of modesty.So she specially conceived a couple of simple topics and encouraged them in the discussion, in order that they might become more confident and closer with each other.Unit 4

里的饭菜有多美味,其实这里的菜品屡遭恶评,也不是因为这里的爵士管弦乐队有一位知名电影导演客串吹小号,而是因为这里汇集了有头有脸的宾客,可以说是星光璀璨,他们中有政客、外交家、电影明星、载入名人堂的体育明星、记者、作家、摇滚明星、诺贝尔奖得主等等——总之,这里的每一位客人都是这座权力之城里的一个人物。2 The Swedes and the Saudis in this true story have different concepts of the role of personal relationships in business.For the Swedes, business is done with a company;for the Saudis, with a person whom one has learned to know and trust.As long as one does not know another person well enough it is convenient to have present an intermediary or go-between, someone who knows and is trusted by both parties.At the root of the difference between these cultures is a fundamental issue in human societies: the role of the individual versus the role of the group.答案:在这个真实的故事里,瑞典人和沙特人对人际关系在商业中的作用有着不同的理解。对瑞典人来说,他们是在和一个公司做生意;但对沙特人来说,他们是在和一个他们了解并且信任的人做生意。只要他们对某个人还不够了解,就会让一位双方都认识并信任的中间人或介绍人在场,这样做会比较方便。这两种文化的差异源于人类社会的一个根本问题:即个人角色与集体角色的问题。7Translate the paragraphs into English.这位年轻人是个侦探小说迷,在看了福尔摩斯探案故事之后,他自以为完全掌握了侦探技巧,于是就开始调查一起抢劫案。经过几个星期的周密调查,他倒是追查到了三名疑犯,只可惜案发时这三个人都身在国外。(know sth inside out;track down)
答案:This young man liked reading detective stories.After finished reading Holmes’ stories, he thought he had known the detective’s skills inside out and started to investigate a case of robbery.After a few weeks of close investigation, he tracked down three suspects, who turned out to be abroad when the robbery took place.在本书中我们确实体会到了两种文化之间的差异。不过作者没有详细叙述这些差异,而是仔细讨论了两种文化的相同点,其中说得最多的是为什么这两种文化都如此强调工作的热忱。(dwell on;of which;loyalty)
答案:In this book, we do find some differences between the two cultures.But instead of dwelling on the differences, the author presents lengthy discussions on things they have in common, of which their loyalty to work are most thoroughly touched upon.Unit 6 Active reading(1)

hadn’t known this before – just before these chilling moments – this sick, black noise now confirmed it.(? 这段话由许多短句构成,要注意短句间语气的连接。像at big fires,all
our lives等词语应该调整语序。)答案:我想起我们消防员平常总互相打趣说:“在大火中见吧。”或者是“我们肯定会在大火中碰面的。”我不知道这种说法是怎么来的,或者我自己是从什么时候开始说起这种话来的,但这就是我们的暗语。意思是不管这场火有多大,以后在别处还会有比这更大的。我们能安然无恙地度过这场火,也会安然无恙地度过下一场火。遇到一场大火时,我总是这么说,也总听别人这么说,可现在,我呆在这儿,想着自己再也不会说这样的话了,也不会再听到别人这么说了,因为再也不会有比这更大的火了。这会是我们大家一辈子都在说的那场大火,如果以前——就在这一个个令人胆战心惊的瞬间之前——我没有认识到这一点的话,现在这浑厚的、不祥的响声印证了这一点。Named as the first chairman of the UN Human Rights Commission, Roosevelt oversaw the two-year process of drafting and securing passage of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.Additionally, her clashes with representatives of the Soviet Union led one Republican to lean forward in his chair and state – he wouldn’t allow his name to be used for fear of being labeled as a Democratic supporter – ―Now, if you want to
know what I think about Mrs Roosevelt, she is tuh-riffic!Mrs Roosevelt is unique in her capacity to create an understanding of our position in the minds of the delegates of other countries.Her performance is so superlative that it is rather unexpected to be asked to evaluate her in ordinary terms.‖
答案:作为联合国人权委员会的首任主席,罗斯福监督了《世界人权宣言》历时两年的起草和通过的全过程。此外, 她和苏联代表的交锋让一位共和党人从椅子上朝前探过身来,说出了下面一番话——因为怕被当成是民主党的支持者,他不愿意透露自己的姓名——“如果你想知道我对罗斯福夫人的看法,那我会说她真是了不起!罗斯福夫人有一种独特的能力,能让其他国家的代表清楚地了解我们的立场。要用平常的语言来评价她高超的外交手腕,一时间还真不知道该怎么说。”
7Translate the paragraphs into English.人们很不理解为什么他一份工作干了30年,大多数人到了他这个年纪至少已经换了四五份工作了。也许对他来说,为了获得更高的薪水或是寻求体验新事物的刺激而换工作毫无意义。在他看来,唯一重要的事是稳定。(stick with;point;thrill)
答案:People are quite puzzled about the fact that he has stuck with the
same job for 30 years when most people of his age have changed at least four or five jobs.Maybe for him there is no point in changing jobs for a higher pay or for the thrill of experiencing something new.The only thing that matters, in his point of view, is stability.协会中的大多数会员认为应该竭力游说政府,确保这项计划获得批准。至关重要的是要把决策者中的一些反对者争取过来。虽然这会很难,但是他们下定决心要作最大的努力。(lobby;win over;adj.+ though it + be;utmost)
答案:Most members of the association believe that they need to lobby as hard as possible to make sure that the plan will be approved by the government.It’s essential to win over some of the naysayer among the policy makers.Tough though it will be, they have made up their mind to make utmost efforts.Unit7: Active reading(1)2.ababdaba 3.misfortune neutral mathematical vulnerable subsequent frequency

翻译 1.司机不赶时间的时候碰到的红灯其实和赶时间的时候一样多;只是如果时间不紧急,红灯带来的不便要小得多。认为红灯出现的次数比绿灯多其实是一种错觉。产生这 种错觉的原因很简单,因为司机有更多的时间去想红灯,而绿灯的时候,车子几秒 钟之内就疾驰而过了——这其实和在畅通的公路上开车没有任何区别——而红灯却迫使司机改变行为,一小会儿的时间里要强迫自己努力一下,承受点压力,还要失去 一两分钟的自由。所以红灯会深深地印在司机的脑海里,而绿灯转瞬间就被抛到脑 后了.2.人人都能学会唱歌吗?在撰写我最新出版的《唱着歌的尼安德特人》一书时,这个 问题就一直萦绕在我的心头。我做的研究让我相信音乐才能是深深植根于人类基因 中的,从进化史的角度来说,它比人类的口头语言都要古老得多。可是我本人一唱 起歌来不是跑调,就是跟不上节奏。朋友们和学术同僚们都说,那都是因为我小时 候对音乐失去了兴趣,只要上几节音乐课,我一定能放声歌唱。也许他们是对的。记得小时候,音乐老师们让我在全班同学面前独―唱‖,让我觉得很丢脸。所以后 来一有机会,我就躲开音乐,35 年来从来没有参加过任何音乐活动。说不定学一学 我也能唱得不错。1.The media doubt the claim that the two consecutive tragedies were independent of each other, and are dissatisfied with the fact that the President was not responsive immediately.When it comes to his competence in running the government, the media have long
lost their trust, if only he could do well in his subsequent term.2.Keep remembering that do not humiliate your child because they don’t gain good grades, as their memory of the humiliation will haunt them for a long time, turn them off from learning at an early age and prevent them from gaining positive attitudes towards life.The development of children can be sustained only when parents identify the strengths in their children and encourage them from time to time.Unit8 Active reading(1):5.dump lounge beloved sneak fury gossip 6.bumped into sincere vacuum stick around advisable

翻译1.在国际妇女节那一天, 苏联的妇女们沐浴在男性所给予的爱意和感激之中。因为这一天是假 日,早 上她们不用去上班,可以懒洋洋地躺在床上。而她们的丈夫们则要为全家人做早饭,虽然嘴 里骂骂 咧咧的,还弄得锅碗瓢盆叮当乱响;到了十点,丈夫颇为自豪地把煎得焦糊糊、皱巴巴的鸡 蛋端到 妻子跟前。盘子边上还放着一束鲜花,一份小礼物,可能是一瓶香水或者一双裤袜,妻子会 高兴得 大叫起来,激动好一会儿,直到孩子们怒气冲冲地跑过来,小脸
涨得通红,闹着要妈妈给他 们做一 顿像样的早餐
2.不管是好是坏, 世界在过去二十多年间所经历的变化可能比过去两百年间所经历的还要多。为了让 彼此间联系得更紧密,营造出一个真正的地球村,我们消耗了更多的资源,烧掉了更多的能 源,造 成了更多的污染,灭杀了更多的动植物。过去,我们一直把电视看作是连接全世界的终极手 段,直 到我们了解了互联网,才发现事实并非如此。所有这些变化都让我们用另外一种眼光来看待外面的世界以及我们自己的家园。在这个全球 市场中,得到任何东西都是要付出代价的。如果我们想拥有西方世界那著名的眩目而舒适的生活,我 们也必 须接受西方文化中的一些异常事物。当然,这并不是说节日对于西方人来说有着不同的意义。
1.When he divorced his wife, he knew that he would never hear the end of it from his friends, because they all believed the rumor that he had dumped her for a younger woman.Whenever he bumped into a friend in the street, they would reprimand him severely for betraying his wife.He realized with his own experience that if a rumor stuck around long enough, people would gradually take it as true.。
2.After undergoing so many misfortunes, he vents all his anger, discontent and despair on people around him, be they families or colleagues.Instead of shutting our eyes and ears to his anomalies, we should offer him more cares and love.We believe he is bound
to recollect himself and go through the tough time。

reputation, not because of its food, which had often been maligned, or its jazz orchestra, which had a guest slot for a well-known movie director who played trumpet, but because of the stellar quality of its sophisticated guests: politicians, diplomats, movie actors, hall-of-fame athletes, journalists, writers, rock stars and Nobel Prize winners – in short, anyone who was anyone in this city of power brokers.答案:乔希打了个冷战,他打开手里的纸条核对了一下地址。之前他没来过乔安妮餐厅,但对于它的鼎鼎大名却早有耳闻,倒不是因为这里的饭菜有多美味,其实这里的菜品屡遭恶评,也不是因为这里的爵士管弦乐队有一位知名电影导演客串吹小号,而是因为这里汇集了有头有脸的宾客,可以说是星光璀璨,他们中有政客、外交家、电影明星、载入名人堂的体育明星、记者、作家、摇滚明星、诺贝尔奖得主等等——总之,这里的每一位客人都是这座权力之城里的一个人物。2 The Swedes and the Saudis in this true story have different concepts of the role of personal relationships in business.For the Swedes, business is done with a company;for the Saudis, with a person whom one has learned to know and trust.As long as one does not know another person well enough it is convenient to have present an intermediary or go-between, someone who knows and is trusted by both parties.At the root of the difference between these cultures is a fundamental issue in human societies: the role of the individual versus the role of the group.答案:在这个真实的故事里,瑞典人和沙特人对人际关系在商业中的作用有着不同的理解。对瑞典人来说,他们是在和一个公司做生意;但对沙特人来说,他们是在和一个他们了解并且信任的人做生意。只要他们对某个人还不够了解,就会让一位双方都认识并信任的中间人或介绍人在场,这样做会比较方便。这两种文化的差异源于人类社会的一个根本问题:即个人角色与集体角色的问题。7Translate the paragraphs into English.这位年轻人是个侦探小说迷,在看了福尔摩斯探案故事之后,他自以为完全掌握了侦探技巧,于是就开始调查一起抢劫案。经过几个星期的周密调查,他倒是追查到了三名疑犯,只可惜案发时这三个人都身在国外。(know sth inside out;track down)

our lives等词语应该调整语序。)答案:我想起我们消防员平常总互相打趣说:“在大火中见吧。”或者是“我们肯定会在大火中碰面的。”我不知道这种说法是怎么来的,或者我自己是从什么时候开始说起这种话来的,但这就是我们的暗语。意思是不管这场火有多大,以后在别处还会有比这更大的。我们能安然无恙地度过这场火,也会安然无恙地度过下一场火。遇到一场大火时,我总是这么说,也总听别人这么说,可现在,我呆在这儿,想着自己再也不会说这样的话了,也不会再听到别人这么说了,因为再也不会有比这更大的火了。这会是我们大家一辈子都在说的那场大火,如果以前——就在这一个个令人胆战心惊的瞬间之前——我没有认识到这一点的话,现在这浑厚的、不祥的响声印证了这一点。Named as the first chairman of the UN Human Rights Commission, Roosevelt oversaw the two-year process of drafting and securing passage of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.Additionally, her clashes with representatives of the Soviet Union led one Republican to lean forward in his chair and state – he wouldn’t allow his name to be used for fear of being labeled as a Democratic supporter – “Now, if you want to know what I think about Mrs Roosevelt, she is tuh-riffic!Mrs Roosevelt is unique in her capacity to create an understanding
of our position in the minds of the delegates of other countries.Her performance is so superlative that it is rather unexpected to be asked to evaluate her in ordinary terms.”
答案:作为联合国人权委员会的首任主席,罗斯福监督了《世界人权宣言》历时两年的起草和通过的全过程。此外, 她和苏联代表的交锋让一位共和党人从椅子上朝前探过身来,说出了下面一番话——因为怕被当成是民主党的支持者,他不愿意透露自己的姓名——“如果你想知道我对罗斯福夫人的看法,那我会说她真是了不起!罗斯福夫人有一种独特的能力,能让其他国家的代表清楚地了解我们的立场。要用平常的语言来评价她高超的外交手腕,一时间还真不知道该怎么说。”
7Translate the paragraphs into English.人们很不理解为什么他一份工作干了30年,大多数人到了他这个年纪至少已经换了四五份工作了。也许对他来说,为了获得更高的薪水或是寻求体验新事物的刺激而换工作毫无意义。在他看来,唯一重要的事是稳定。(stick with;point;thrill)
答案:People are quite puzzled about the fact that he has stuck with the same job for 30 years when most people of his age have changed at least four or five jobs.Maybe for him there is no
point in changing jobs for a higher pay or for the thrill of experiencing something new.The only thing that matters, in his point of view, is stability.协会中的大多数会员认为应该竭力游说政府,确保这项计划获得批准。至关重要的是要把决策者中的一些反对者争取过来。虽然这会很难,但是他们下定决心要作最大的努力。(lobby;win over;adj.+ though it + be;utmost)
答案:Most members of the association believe that they need to lobby as hard as possible to make sure that the plan will be approved by the government.It’s essential to win over some of the naysayer among the policy makers.Tough though it will be, they have made up their mind to make utmost efforts.Unit7: Active reading(1)2.ababdaba 3.misfortune neutral mathematical vulnerable subsequent frequency 4.misfortunes neutral frequency mathematical vulnerable subsequent 5.route overlapped adjacent sacked cluster duration 6.abbbbbbba 7.bedca Active reading(2)3.dcdc

it comes to his competence in running the government, the media have long lost their trust, if only he could do well in his subsequent term.2.Keep remembering that do not humiliate your child because they don’t gain good grades, as their memory of the humiliation will haunt them for a long time, turn them off from learning at an early age and prevent them from gaining positive attitudes towards life.The development of children can be sustained only when parents identify the strengths in their children and encourage them from time to time.Unit8 Active reading(1):5.dump lounge beloved sneak fury gossip 6.bumped into sincere vacuum stick around advisable filled up with 7.aabab aaab Active reading(2): 3.dabcbd 4.humble justify undergo feast calendar youngster charm

2.不管是好是坏, 世界在过去二十多年间所经历的变化可能比过去两百年间所经历的还要多。为了让 彼此间联系得更紧密,营造出一个真正的地球村,我们消耗了更多的资源,烧掉了更多的能 源,造 成了更多的污染,灭杀了更多的动植物。过去,我们一直把电视看作是连接全世界的终极手 段,直 到我们了解了互联网,才发现事实并非如此。所有这些变化都让我们用另外一种眼光来看待外面的世界以及我们自己的家园。在这个全球 市场中,得到任何东西都是要付出代价的。如果我们想拥有西方世界那著名的眩目而舒适的生活,我 们也必 须接受西方文化中的一些异常事物。当然,这并不是说节日对于西方人来说有着不同的意义。
