Book2Unit1-5部分练习参考答案

Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world. The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters. In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form. Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers’ personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so forth, t hus there is an expression that “seeing the calligrapher’s handwriting is like seeing the person”. As one of the treasures of Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the world’s treasure house of culture and art.

In recent years, with the development of Internet technology, we have made great achievements in the construction of digital education resources in our country. Many universities have set up their own digital learning platforms, and digital teaching is playing an increasingly important role in education. Compared with the traditional way of teaching, the digital way has a lot of advantages. On one hand, digital teaching makes global sharing of teaching resources possible; on the other hand, it expands the learner’s study time and space to learn, allowing people to get access to the digital virtual schools through the Internet anytime and anywhere.

These advantages make it possible for people to shift from one-time learning to lifelong learning.

Filial piety is the basic code of ethics in the ancient Chinese society. Chinese people consider filial piety as the essence of a person’s integrity, family harmony, and the nation’s well-being. With filial piety being the core of Confucian ethics, it has been the moral standard for the Chinese society to maintain the family relationship for thousands of years. It’s undoubtedly a traditional Chinese virtue. The culture of filial piety is a complex concept, rich in content and wide in range. It includes not only cultural ideas but also institutional etiquettes. Generally speaking, it refers to the obligation of children to their parents required by the society, including respect, care, support for the elderly and so forth. Filial piety is fundamental to the ancient “Oriental civilization”.

July 7th on the Chinese lunar calendar is Chinese Qixi Festival, the most romantic of all the traditional Chinese holidays. Every year, some big businesses organize various activities, and young people send gifts to their lovers. As a result, the Qixi Festival is considered to be Chinese “Valentine’s Day”. The Qixi Festival is derived from the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid. The legend holds that on this particular night every year the Weaving Maid in heaven meets with Cowherd. So, people can see Cowherd and Weaving Maid meeting in the Milky Way on the night of Qixi. On this night, girls would also beg Weaving Maid for some wisdom for a happy marriage. But, with the changing of times, these activities are diminishing. All that remains is the legend of Cowherd and Weaving Maid, a sign of faithful love, continuously circulated among the folk.

The Silk Road is a traffic route in the ancient times connecting China and Eurasia. This trade route focuses on the trade of silk, hence the name “the Silk Road”. As an international trade channel and a bridge of cultural exchanges, the Silk Road effectively improved the economic and cultural exchanges and development between the East and the West, exerting a profound impact on the progress of the world civilization. Nowadays, under the new historical circumstances, our country proposes the strategy of “One Belt, One Road”(namely the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road). The strategy of “One Belt, One Road” focuses on cooperation and mutual benefits, emphasizing mutual benefits, win-win, as well as common development of the related countries. Once proposed, the strategy has received positive responses from the related countries along the road.

2 Michal feels delighted and proud when he listens to the Beatles because he can understand a lot better.

3 Besides listening to English songs, Michal also reads science fiction books in English.

4 Michal made a great breakthrough in learning

the English language after successfully finishing reading the first English book.

5 According to Michal, English learning brings

him satisfaction and pleasure.

1 ?Yes, because the way to learn English is more interesting and enjoyable.

?Yes, because learners become more motivated when learning something they like.

?No, because it’s like a street learning without formal instruction.

?No, because learners may often make

grammatical mistakes when talking or

speaking.

2 ?Yes, I could speak and write more fluently

with good grammar and vocabulary.

?Yes, I could better understand English native speakers after watching English movies and

talk shows.

?Yes, as a result of surfing online in English, I’m able to read more quickly than before.

I’m Michal. I live in Poland, and Polish is my native language. I started learning English by listening

to the Beatles every day. At the beginning, I didn’t know what they were singing, but soon I started

to understand individual words, and later, more.

Each time I hear a Beatles song, I am delighted

and feel proud because now I can understand a lot

better. I listen to many rock bands, all in English, and I really enjoy them. Besides listening to English songs, I also started reading science fiction books in English. I still remember how excited I was when I successfully finished reading the first English book, a great breakthrough in my life! When I read in English, I not only have the pleasure of reading but also get the feeling of self-accomplishment. English has given me so much satisfaction and pleasure. I

feel I’m free!

Understanding the text

1 Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules.

2 The civilization of Greece and the glory of

Roman architecture are so marvelous and

remarkable that they should be described at least

in a brief account; however, what the student

could do was only one single utterance: “whoa!”without any specific comment.

3 Because the schools fail to set high standards

of language proficiency. They only teach a little

grammar and less advanced vocabulary. And

the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language.

4 Because teaching grammar is not an easy job

and most of the students will easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with.

5 He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs.

6 Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before.

7 The author uses “road map” and “car” to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here, “road map” is considered as grammar and “car” as vocabulary.

8 Since the subjunctive mood his son used is

a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection “whoa!” reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word

because it was once used by his student, though

in two different situations and with two different feelings.

Critical thinking

1 ?Motivation.

?Family support.

?Peer pressure.

?Financial status.

?Future career goals.

2 English grammar helps a lot in the following: ?Order sentences correctly.

?Use words properly.

?Talk with other English speakers confidently. English grammar is of little help:

?Only gives rules that are hard to remember.

?Is not helpful in a real-life setting due to the limited time to think and recall the rules.

?Not always applicable to the real language, especially idioms.

3 ?Use more communicative ways.

?Encourage a lot of interactions.

?Put sentences in meaningful contexts.

4 ?Read more English from online sources. ?Watch English TV / listen to English radio / watch English online videos.

?Talk often with English speakers.

?Listen carefully and extensively.

?Use dictionaries to look up unfamiliar words. ?Use new words as often as possible.

5 ?Read English newspapers, magazines, and books.

?Write English as often as possible.

?Write emails in English.

Structured writing

Some bookworms in my dormitory often spend

hours reading their “Bible”, Practical English Grammar, and do a lot of exercises in that book, but I don’t care about it at all. My assumption is since I have never learned Chinese grammar, what’s the sense of learning English grammar? In fact, English grammar has always been a big headache to me.

English grammar is very complicated because,

unlike Chinese, there are many verb tenses. Even stranger than verb tenses, English grammar also contains something very confusing. For example, I don’t remember how many times my middle school teacher tried to “impose” the differences between used to and be used to on us. Sometimes he would

go on with the explanation for 20 minutes or so.

He even summarized the differences by listing three or four points for us to memorize. However, they could never stay in my head. I don’t remember

how many times I got it wrong with the sentences containing used to or be used to on my exams. I

was really confused with these two phrases, and I can never get them right.

In brief, I’m allergic to learning English grammar. Curiously, I just wonder if the native speakers of English have a microcomputer in their brain to help them utter the two phrases promptly with just a

click of their brain mouse!

1 Even though it is important for the students to have a deep understanding of the texts, it doesn’t make any sense to read texts word for word

from the beginning to the end.

2 As it is a matter of little importance to us, it

doesn’t make much sense to argue out which is

wrong or right or which is better or worse.

1 ?Yes, because we took many liberal arts

courses in addition to science courses.

?No, because our high school laid more

emphasis on sciences and we often competed

with other schools in sciences such as math

and physics.

2 ?History classes usually require a lot of writing with critical thinking.

?Reading extensively in history classes helped the speaker write better.

3 ?Learned how to communicate with my

teachers and classmates.

?Improved my critical thinking and analytical skills.

?Boosted my confidence in dealing with

difficulties and challenges.

Scripts:

My high school education was very much like attending a liberal arts college. We studied modern European history as well as Asian and

Latin American history. Learning history gave me viewpoints on more cultural background. More importantly, history class was where we really learned how to write a good essay. We were also required to learn a foreign language, and I chose Spanish. Trying to speak Spanish helped me become a more competent communicator. In addition, we learned how to get meaning from texts. We were assigned many books, and we were taught strategies on how to look for meaning without going over

every single word. We were also given red pens and

our own compositions to evaluate our own writing critically. I think the most important skills I learned in high school were not the facts or formulas I memorized, but the communication skills I learned.

Understanding the text

1 Because English or history majors are considered

less competitive when the job market is

shrinking, and they have to study something that

can help them more easily locate their future

jobs.

2 Because as the tuition is climbing higher and higher, many students have run away from

studying the humanities and toward “hard”

skills that they think will lead to employment.

3 Since more students are now taking job-oriented courses, libraries, where students of liberal arts used to study, are getting less popular than

before; in contrast, labs are getting more eyecatching because students of science and

engineering do experiments and research there.

4 Because this inner drive that can be either constructive or destructive is so mysterious and powerful that it has attracted many people to speculate on it. From ancient times, these men

and women developed artistic “languages”

in the form of story, music, myth, painting, architecture, sculpture, landscape and traditions, which form the very foundation of civilization.

5 Studying the humanities improves your ability

to read and write, makes you familiar with the language of emotion and the creative process,

and, more importantly, provides you with a wide scope of possibilities that are open to you.

6 Because in modern life, an ideal capacity for establishing one’s career is to have both technical knowledge and inner insight, not just one

without the other.

7 “Well-rounded human beings” are those who

have insight and understand the passions, hopes

and dreams common to all humanity.

8 Since many people who once studied the

humanities became famous in their career, the

author implies that if students spend more

time studying the humanities, they could surely become successful in the future as well.

Critical thinking

1 ?Gain more insight in life and society. ?Better understand and predict human

behavior.

?Realize different interpretations of life and history.

?Understand the past which has created the present.

?Be aware of cultural and religious differences.

2 ?Help read and write better.

?Broaden their horizons.

?Become more well-rounded.

?Become a better communicator.

?Develop critical thinking skills.

?Have more flexibility for the future career.

3 ?Personal interest.

?Special talents.

?Future job prospects.

?Financial status.
