Translation 1 (5minutes)Directions：Complete the sentences by translating into English the Chinese given in brackets．Please write your translation on Answer Sheet 2．87．Only after the accident________(他才意识到酒后驾车的危险性)．88．The more he explains it，_________(我就越糊涂)．89．He denied 偷看了同桌的试卷)．90．_________(我原打算去拜访我叔叔)，but I ran across an old friend．91．I suppose by the time l come back from abroad all those old houses_______ (将被拆除了)．答案与解析87．答案：did he realize how dangerous it is to drive after drinking考点：本题主要考查倒装。

解析：“only+状语”位于句首时，句子要求部分倒装。

由句意和时间状语after the accident 可知，此处应该用一般过去时叙述过去的情况，因此应将助动词did提前构成倒装。

这里“酒后驾车的危险性”可以用how引导的宾语从句来表达。

88．答案：the more confused I am考点：本题主要考查比较结构。

解析：“The more…，the more…”意为“越……，就越……”。

这里要注意的是，表示“越糊涂”应该是用confused的比较级，故应该将more confused一起放到句首，而不是只将more提前。

89．答案：having peeked at his neighbor's test paper考点：本题主要考查动名词的完成式。

His great achievements can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority. It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century.课后练习答案：《全新版大学英语》第三册UNIT 5（综合教程第二版）全新版大学英语- 2011-04-20 17:35:40 阅读76 评论0 字号：大中小订阅Unit 5 Giving ThanksText A Writing Three Thank-You LettersText Organizationl.Parte Paragraphs Main IdeasPart One Paras 1-9 On Thanksgiving Day 1943, as a young coastguardsman at sea, the writer came up with the idea of expressing his gratitude to people who had helped him before.Part Two Paras 10-16 The writer wrote three thank-you letters to his father, the Rev.

Because of the GI Bills that had enabled many veterans from the Second World War to be enrolled at colleges, there was a huge increase in the number of middle-class families. Apart from the sharp increase of the income of these families, a suburban middle-class culture was also formed, in which the wives were supposed to hold the roles of the mother, the housekeeper, the entertainer of neighbors and friends, and the manager of a façade of a happy family to impress other people. During that period of time, the husbands were the main source of family income. And it was rare for middle-class wives to keep jobs. Therefore, women like Julia Weeds might feel trapped by their families and the suburbs, and their values and efforts were under-rated.

冰雪卫士1812年，法国皇帝拿破仑带领他的大陆军进入俄国。

他已经做好了准备，对俄国人民保卫家乡进行残酷抵抗，他也准备好跨越俄国土地前去莫斯科的漫长征程。

然而，对于莫斯科那毁灭性的敌人------阴冷严寒刺骨的俄国冬日，他确没有做丝毫准备。

1914年，纳粹德国的领导者希特勒发起了对苏维埃俄国的进攻，紧接着俄国人民也奋博罗季诺起反抗了。

希特勒的军队是举世无双的。

他的战争武器已经打败了欧洲大多数反抗。

希特勒期待着一个短暂的战役，但是就像他之前的拿破仑一样，给他的却是一次惨痛的教训。

俄国的冬日再一次成为苏维埃士兵的救星。

拿破仑的战役1812年的春天，拿破仑在俄国的边境召集了一支60万人的军队。

士兵们都受过良好的训练，做事效率高，而且武器装备精良。

这支军队叫做大陆军。

拿破仑对于取得迅速胜利十分有信心，且预言说五个星期内征服俄国。

之后很快，拿破仑的军队越过涅曼河进入俄国。

拿破仑期望的迅速的决定性胜利并没有发生。

令他惊讶的是，俄军拒绝站起来反抗，取而代之的是向东方撤退，同时烧毁他们的庄稼和房屋。

大陆军紧随其后，但是向前的道路很快就被缓慢的物资供应阻碍了。

8月，法俄两军陷入斯摩棱斯克之战，双方各有一万士兵战死沙场。

然而俄军再次撤退至其领地。

拿破仑还没有取得决定性胜利。

他现在面临一个重大决定。

他是该继续追赶俄军呢？还是要留守斯摩棱斯克迎接即将来临的冬天呢？拿破仑决定赌一把，继续向448千米以外的莫斯科前进。

1812年9月7，法俄两军在距离莫斯科112千米以外的博罗季诺展开激烈战斗。

夜幕降临，3万法军和5万4千俄军要么战死沙场要重伤。

俄军再一次撤退至安全地带拿破仑对莫斯科有清楚的作战计划，但是对城市的占领却成了一场空胜利。

俄国人逃离了首都。

法军抵达后不久，一场猛烈的火灾摧毁的三分之二的城市。

拿破仑向亚历山大一世提出停战，但是俄国沙皇知道他是在等待时机：“我们应该让俄国的冬天帮我们打赢这场战争。

”拿破仑很快发现，在冬季的莫斯科，他不能为自己的军队提供粮食，衣物以及宿营地。

Unit 1 Personal Relationships1-1 The gift of life【1】炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。

在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而它们却落在了一所由传教士们办的小孤儿院内。

【2】传教士和一、两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，她的双腿被炸伤。

【3】几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。

救援小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。

他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。

如果不立即采取行动，显然她将因失血过多和休克而死亡。

【4】他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要一种相配的血型。

快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。

几个没有受伤的孤儿却有相配的血型。

【5】这位医生会讲一点越南语，护士会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。

孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。

医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势语，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。

接着问他们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。

【6】对医生和护士的请求，孩子们（只是）瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。

此时小病人生命垂危。

然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。

过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。

【7】"噢，谢谢。

" 护士用法语说。

"你叫什么名字？"【8】"兴，" 回答道。

【9】兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。

在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。

【10】过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。

【11】"兴，疼吗？" 医生问。

【12】兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。

医生又问是否是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴又摇了摇头。

Translation1The growth of intercultural communication as a field of study is based on a view of history that clearly demonstrates people and cultures have been troubled by a persistent inability to understand and get along with groups and societies removed by space, ideology, appearance, and behavior from their own. What is intriguing about many of human civilization’s failure is that they appear to be personal as well as global. The story of humankind is punctuated with instances of face-to-face conflicts as well as international misunderstanding--major and minor quarrels that range from simple name-calling to isolationism tr even armed conflict. It is obvious that increases contact with other cultures and subcultures make it imperative for us to make a concerted effort to understand and get along with people whose beliefs and backgrounds may be vastly different from our own. The ability, through increased awareness and understanding, to peacefully coexist with people who do not necessarily share our lifestyles or values could benefit us not only in our own neighborhoods but could be the decisive factor in maintaining would peace. Translation 2Culture is something referred to as our mental programming, our “software of the mind.”But we can take that computer analogy further and say that culture is the operating environment that enables software programs to run. Culture is like DOS or Unix or Windows:it is what enables us to process information in various specific applications. The metaphor of windows seems to be very appealing to describe culture：culture is a mental set of windows through which all of life is viewed. It varies from individual to individual within a society, but it shares important characteristics with members of a society. Culture is like the water fish swim in--a reality that is taken for granted and rarely examined. It is in the air we breathe and is as necessary to our understanding of who we are as air is to our physical life. Culture is the property of a community people, not simply a characteristic of individuals. Societies are programmed by culture, and that programming comes from similar life experiences and similar interpretations of what those experiences mean. If culture is mental programming, it is also a mental map of reality. It tells us from early childhood what matters, what o prefer, what to avoid, and what to do. Culture also tells us what ought to be . It gives us assumptions about the ideal beyond what individuals may experience. It helps us in setting priorities. It establishes codes for behavior and provides justification and legitimization for that behavior.Translation 3Although each of us has a unique set of values, there also are values that tend to permeate a culture. These are called cultural values. Cultural values generally are normative in that they inform a member of a culture what is good and bad, right and false, positive and negative, and the like. Cultural values define what is worthwhile to die for, what is worth protecting, what frightens people and their social systems, what are considered proper subjects for study and for ridicule, and what types of events lead individuals to group solidarity. Cultural values also specify what behaviors are of importance and which should be avoided within a culture. Values represent a learned organization of rules for making choices and for resolving conflicts. The values held by participants in intercultural communication are important because values develop standards and guidelines that establish appropriate and inappropriate behaviors in a society. V alues, in other words, help determine how people ought to behave with the result that people will exhibit and expect behaviors according to their value systems. To the extent that cultural value systems differ, we may expect that intercultural communication participants will tend to exhibit and to expect different under similar circumstance.Translation 4When we say that language is always ambiguous, what we mean is that we can never fully control the meaning of the things we say and write. The meanings we exchange by speaking and by writing are not given in the words and sentences alone but are also constructed partly out of what our listeners and our readers interpret them to mean. To put this quite another way, meaning in language is jointly constructed by the participants in communication. Language is inherently ambiguous. It means that in order to communicate we must always jump to conclusions about what other mean. There is no way around this. When someone says something, w must jump to some conclusion about what he or she means. We draw inferences based on two main sources. 1, the language they have used, and 2, our knowledge about the world. The knowledge includes expectations about what people would normally say in such circumstances. Language is ambiguous. This means that we can never be certain what the other person means--whether in speaking or writing. To put it another way, language can never fully express our meanings. But what does this mean for intercultural communication? In the first place it should be clear that communication works better the more the participants share assumptions and knowledge about the world. Where two people have very similar histories, backgrounds, and experiences, their communication works fairly easily because the inferences each makes about what the other means will be based on common experience and knowledge. Two people from the same village and the same family are likely to make fewer mistakes in drawing inferences about what the other means than two people from different cities on different sides of the earth.Translation 5Where any two people differ in group membership because they are of different genders, different ages, different ethnic or culture groups, different educations, different parts of the same country or even city, different income or occupational groups, or with very different personal histories, each will find it more difficult to draw inferences about what the other person means.In the contemporary world of international and intercultural communication, the differences between people are considerable. People are in daily contact with members of cultures and other groups from all around the world. Successful communication is based on sharing as much as possible the assumptions we make about what others mean. When we are communicating with people who are very different from us, it is very difficult to know how ti draw inferences about what they mean, and so it is impossible to depend on shared knowledge and background for confidence in our interpretation.It has been found that men and women from the same culture, even from the sane families, often misunderstand each other because of different assumptions they make about the purposes or goals of their communication. A man may wish to make a woman happy by giving her a gift of something she really wants. He asks her what she would like to have for her birthday--- she can ask for anything. Unfortunately, what she wants more than anything else is for him to know intuitively what she would like to have. Men and women, at least in North American society, tend to differ in their concern for explicitness or for indirection. A woman is likely to think it is important for someone to show how well he knows her by not having to ask explicitly what she wants. A man in that situation, however, feels beast about the situation if he is told quiet directly and explicitly how he can make her happy.Translation 6Non-verbal communication might be thought of as any form of communication which is not directly dependent on the use of language. Generally speaking, however, it is very difficult to know where to separate verbal and non-verbal forms of communication. Such non-verbal aspects of communication as nodding the head most often accompany speech and are part and parcel of the verbal system of language use. On the other hand such forms of communication as dance and music often have no verbal component at all. What we want to here is simply to call attention to the fact that many aspects of human interaction depend upon forms of communication which can not be easily transcribed into words and yet are crucial to our understanding to each other.Of course we have to emphasize the importance of communication in speaking and writing, and yet we should also realize that much much communication also takes place without the use of words. The way a person dresses for a meeting may suggestion to other participants how he or she is prepared to participate in it. In fact, we can use virtually any aspect of our behavior or our presentation which others can perceive as means of communication.Translation 7Many people today want to do many things within so little time. The sense o time might be called time urgency, it is a syndrome of behavior in which the persons continually tries to accomplish more than can be humanly accomplished. Until very recently, time urgency was thought to be a characteristics of Americans, particularly American males in the generation born in the period from the Great Depression through to the end of the World War .It should be obvious that that this sense of time urgency is no longer a cultural characteristic of just this one generation of American males. It is a characteristic of the Asian “salary man”, and is spreading throughout the world rapidly as one aspect of the internationalization of business.One of the most important effects of this sense of time is that in communication it will almost produce a negative evaluation to the slower participants by the faster participants. Those who share in this concept of time urgency will come to see anyone who moves more slowly than they do as conservative, as uncooperative, as resistant to change, and as opposing progress. Behind the concept of time urgency is the idea that what lies ahead in the future is always better than what lies behind in the past; it based solidly on the belief in progress.Translation 8If we accept the belief that our past influences our view of reality and the corresponding tenet that each of us may have similar but not identical personal histories, then it should follow that another person’s picture of the universe will not be exactly like ours. Y et most of us act as if our way of perceiving things is the correct and only way. We often overwork perceptual differences and conclude that if the other person doesn’t see that Pablo Picasso is the greatest artist that ever lived, he simply does not art. Actually, it may well be that he has a different past history and what is great art for him may not match our perception of art.In our daily activities these differences in perception appear between different groups. V arious generations, minorities, occupation and cultures have conflicting values and goals that will influence their orientation and interpretation of reality.Our culture is a major of factor in perceptual discrepancies. Culture helps supply us with our perceptive of reality. It therefore plays a dominant role in intercultural communication. Our cultures tell us, in a variety of ways, how to judge others and what to use as criteria for those judgments. The danger of such evaluations is that they are often false, misleading, and arbitrary. It is truly a naive view of the world to believe and behave as if we an our culture have discovered the true and only set of norms.。

Unit 1A woman won a bucketful of quarters at a slot machine in Atlantic City. She found two black men already in the elevator as she went back to her room to hide the quarters. She hesitated to enter the elevator because she was afraid that the two men were going to rob her. After she joined them in the elevator, she heard one man say, “Hit the floor”, which was taken by her for falling on her knees to the floor. So she did.The two men explained to her “hit the floor”meant “to push the button for the floor they were going to”. The woman’s fear gave place to embarrassment. The two men gathered up the scattered quarters with her and accompanied her to her room.The next day the woman received a dozen roses and twelve 100-dollar bills given by Eddie Murphy and Michael Jordan to thank her for the best laugh they’d had in years. Unit 2The young man in the story dreamed of sailing around the world, but he never received any support or encouragement from people around him, not even his father, who wanted his son to work like him in a factory. But the boy stuck to his dream and to make his dream come true, he did two jobs to earn enough money for a sailboat. At long last, he purchased a boat and was ready to sail when federal agents were preparing to confiscate it for carrying drugs. He was even asked to pay for the docking fees of the former owner. The young man couldn’t take the hard blow and in anger and desperation, he painted “Ill Feelings”on the boat and sailed out regardless of the warning of an upcoming storm. Soon he found himself in danger when attacked by the storm and asked the harbormaster to harbor his boat. But to his dismay, he was told no “Ill Feelings”would be harbored in this dock.Unit 3The author, as a college sophomore, shared a rented apartment with three of his schoolmates, for they didn’t want to live in a dorm. But they had much trouble sharing the only bathroom as one of them was a taker, using up everything available; another a polluter, making a mess in the bathroom; the third a monopolizer, occupying the bathroom for a long time regardless of others’urgent needs. With the example, the author thinks that the same is true of the world where some people or corporations take too much or make wrong use of our planet’s resources for their own benefit at the cost of other people just as his three roommates did with the bathroom. To solve the issue, a planet policy including compensations for the victims is a must for building a fair and harmonious world.Unit 4Bartleby was a new clerk I employed to write legal papers as my business was growing.At first, he did an extraordinary quantity of writing and he worked just like a machine, never looking or speaking. But later, he would refuse my assignments by saying, “I would prefer not to.”What was worse, he never ate out or went anywhere, and made my law office his home. In spite of my deep sympathy for him, I had to dismiss him. However, he wouldn’t leave and locked himself in my office. So I left him. He wasfinally taken to prison, and not until after he died in prison did I discover that he had worked many years at the Dead Letter Office, where every letter he had had to read had destroyed his hope in life.Unit 5Eight years ago I first met Mr. Foster, an old busboy at an airport. In spite of his age and physical handicap, he would go wherever he was needed instead of waiting to be summoned. What is more, he served every customer with the same enthusiasm whether they gave him tips or not, or no matter how much the tips were. Impressed and inspired, I developed a great admiration for him in the following years. I would contrast him with his fellow workers who were just loosely assembled there, idly waiting by for tables to become empty. However, Mr. Foster was ordered to stop helping people and act like his co-workers. Later, he was fired. Though he was back at work on a trial basis several months later, his spirit was gone. And today I learned that he quit his job—his heart was broken.Unit 6Tempted by material comfort and the various credit cards available, many young people accept student loans and credit cards gladly. On credit, they buy cars, furniture and nice new clothes. Thus a few years later, they’ve got a load of debts.The lure of living on debt increased in the 1990s along with the economic boom, skyrocketed tuition and fees, increased student loan limits, plus the promotion of the mass media. In 1998, the average undergraduate had a balance of $1,879 on 3.5 credit cards.Many critics worry that credit debts make graduates pay the consequences sooner or later. All this debt may force graduates to give up exciting but low-paying jobs in favor of dreary but well-paying jobs in order to repay lenders.课后练习Unit 1B.
