1.Life（生平）

Tennessee Williams(1911—1983)was one of the greatest American dramatists. He was born Thomas Lanier Williams but he changed“Thomas”to“Tennessee”in1939.He was born in Columbus,Mississippi,in1911.Several years later,the family moved to the University City neighborhood of St.Louis,Missouri.In1929 attended the University of Missouri,and dropped out in1932because of poverty. He finally earned a degree in1938from the University of Iowa.His first play,Battle of Angels,proved to be such a fiasco that he did not surface again,until1945when The Glass Menagerie won him international recognition.After that he kept writing at the rate of every two years and enjoyed popularity all along.He was also a novelist and a poet.He wrote a novel,two volumes of poetry,and six volumes of prose,including three collections of short stories.

Ⅱ.Selected works（选读作品）

◆A Streetcar Named Desire《欲望号街车》

The“streetcar named desire”refers to the Desire Line that the heroine has to take to her younger sister,Stella’s home.The title of this play not only has real source but also has strong symbolic meaning.On the one hand,Blanche,the heroine,takes the“streetcar named desire”to Stella’s home;on the other hand, she gets on the“streetcar”of desire heading for destruction.The trip of the car

insinuates Blanche’s life and spiritual journey.

Blanche herself can do nothing to the Southern decline and becomes poor and frustrated,but she looks down upon Stanly,Stella’s husband,a vulgar worker.Since Blanche came,Stanly has realized that his territory being violated by her,so he tries every means to strike back.He excavates Blanche’s dirty secrets of her past life and prevents her from the attempt of getting married with his friend Mitch.At last, Stanly raped Blanche,who is the victim as well as the seducer of him.Blanche becomes insane.

“欲望号街车”指的是女主人公布兰奇要到妹妹家所必需乘坐的“欲望线”街车。这一剧名既有现实的依据，又有极强的象征意义。一方面，布兰奇乘上了去妹妹家的“欲望号”街车，另一方面她也乘上了欲望的“街车”，驶向毁灭。街车的行进暗示着布兰奇的生活和精神之旅。

布兰奇无法挽回南方的颓败，自己也陷入穷途潦倒的境地，但却鄙视粗俗、行伍出身的蓝领妹夫斯丹利。自从布兰奇来到妹妹家后，斯丹利就感觉到自己的领地受到侵犯，于是想方设法进行反击。他挖掘出布兰奇以往生活的不检点之处，阻止了她想要斯丹利的好友米奇娶自己为妻的企图。最后，斯丹利强奸了既是受害者又是诱惑者的布兰奇，使其精神崩溃。

Ⅲ.Essay question

In The Glass Menagerie,Tennessee Williams successfully portrays a family of escapists.Explain how the theme of escapism is developed in this play.（天津外国语2008研）

Key:In The Glass Menagerie,Tennessee Williams uses the theme of escape to help drive the play forward.None of the characters are capable of living in the real world. Laura,Amanda,Tom and Jim use various methods to escape the brutalities of life.

Her escape seems to be hiding inside the apartment,not out.

Unit 3 Social Problems In-class Reading Passage 课内阅读练习答案 Part One Preparation 1. Describing the Pictures Picture A：A couple is dining at a restaurant. Both of them are smoking. But they call and complain to the waiter, saying that those sitting at the other tables are coughing too much and that bothers them. However, they have not realized that actually it is their smoking that has caused those people to cough. I have seen many people who behave like this couple. They never take other people’s interest into consideration. They are selfish and always ready to find fault with others. They never see their own wrong doings but always make a false counter-charge. They are despised by most other people. Picture B: In this picture I see a strange beggar. While most beggars beg for food or drinks, this guy begs for money in order to buy wines. He wants to try all the 596,704 wines existing in this world. He said he already tasted 38,279 wines out of that number. Suppose he tries one kind of wine one day, it would have taken him more than 100 years to come so far. He is really an ambitious man. However, if he has the ambition to try all the existing wines, he should work hard and make money himself instead of begging for other people’s money to enjoy what life can offer. There are some people like this beggar these days. They want to enjoy life, but not based on their own hard work or effort. They want a free lunch and many of them live on borrowed money. I don’t think this is a good attitude towards life. Everyone should work hard to make a good living. Picture C: I see a court with a judge, a defendant and probably a lawyer in the picture. What is strange about this picture is that I find a tip pot, which is usually placed in a restaurant for waiters or waitress. They get tips for their excellent services to their customers. Waiters or waitresses who get generous tips will provide even better service to customers. However, a court is a place for people to seek justice and fairness. It punishes the guilty and releases the innocent. If judges start to take tips, I doubt that there will be any more justice. People will no longer be treated equally and truth will not be valued. Judgment will not be made based on facts, but on how big the tip is. What an evil place! Picture D: In this picture I see two men behind bars. One is telling his fellow prisoner that he did not commit the crimes that he had been accused of committing. His mistake was that he stole the identity of a guy who had committed those crimes. The police took him for that guy and put him in jail. They actually got the wrong person. And he was innocent. Was he really innocent? I don’t think so. He was a thief, and he was not innocent at all. However, he received a heavier punishment than he deserved. So that was an irony. The guy stole another person’s identity and in a sense he inherited his crimes as well. So never take other people’s stuff, whatever it is. No one can escape

新编大学英语综合教程3 第三版课后答案 Reading Comprehension 1. Understanding the Organization of the Text 1) Introduction: (para.1) Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. 2) Reasons why shyness can have a negative effect: (para.2—3) People’s self-concept has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. People with high self-esteem usually act with confidence. People with low self-esteem are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. 3) Ways of overcoming shyness: (para.4—15) i) Recognize your personal strengths and weaknesses. ii) Set reasonable goals. iii) Don’t waste time and energy on destructive feelings such as guilt and shame. iv) Don’t be afraid to speak up and give your point of view. v) Do not make negative comments about yourself. vi) Accept criticism thoughtfully. vii) Profit from failures and disappointments by viewing them as learning experiences. viii) Do not associate with people who make you feel inadequate. ix) Set aside time to relax, enjoy hobbies, and reevaluate your goals regularly. x) Practice being in social situations. 4) Conclusion: (para.16) The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. 2. Understanding Specific Information 1) F 2) T 3) T 4) T 5) F 6) T 7) F 8) F 3. Group Discussion 1) I think the most effective ways of overcoming shyness are the first and seventh ways. Recognizing our personal strengths and weaknesses is useful because if we know ourselves better, we can feel more self-confident. We can be more objective, instead of being blind. The seventh way is to profit from failures and disappointments as learning experiences. If we allow ourselves to get discouraged and sad when we fail, then we will feel more unsure of ourselves. But if we think of a failure as a learning experience, we are adopting a positive attitude. By analyzing objectively why we failed and planning how to set about doing things differently we will be more likely to succeed next time. 2) Modesty is used to describe a reserved appraisal of one’s merits, abilities or success. The opposite of modesty is arrogance or boastfulness. Modest people don’t want to talk about their

一：受地形因素的影响而成。 1、该流域位于阿巴拉契亚山地西坡，夏季时属于海洋风的背风坡，降水较少。 2、该流域属于中央大平原的南部，纬度较低，冬季时由于狭管效应冬季风易于南下，与来自墨西哥湾的暖湿气流相会，产生大雨、暴雨 二目前对于这个问题还有争论; 北美洲的气候不同于亚洲,也就是季风性不明显,在冬春季节照样有一定的降水量. 田纳西河流域在夏季,受副热带高压的影响比较明显,降水稀少.在冬春季，北冰洋的极地气流，可迅速南下至墨西哥湾，使冬季气温低，但同时，墨西哥湾暖流与大西洋暖流产生的湿气与极地气流在美国东南部相遇，产生锋面雨。 到了夏秋季，墨西哥湾暖流增强，极地气流退缩，雨带北移到美国东北部到加拿大东南部一带，美国东南部被墨西哥湾暖湿气流控制。高温少雨。因为田纳西河流域大部分位于美国东南部，所以田纳西河冬春雨水多。 三有人说是因为地形造成的，冬春处于大陆吹向海洋气流的迎风坡，夏秋处于海洋吹向陆地的背风坡 资料： 美国东南部河流，俄亥俄河第一大支流。源出阿巴拉契亚高地西坡，由霍尔斯顿河和弗伦奇布罗德河汇合而成。流经田纳西州和亚拉巴马州，于肯塔基州帕迪尤卡附近注入俄亥俄河。以霍尔斯顿河源头计，长约1450千米，流域面积10.6万平方千米。大部流经阿巴拉契亚高原区，上中游河谷狭窄，比降较大，多急流，水力资源丰富，仅能通行小汽轮。下游河谷较开阔，从帕迪尤卡至弗洛伦斯之间450千米河道，通航便利。流域内降水丰沛，河口平均流量1800立方米／秒。但水位季节变化较大，冬末春初多暴雨，易造成洪水泛滥；夏季水位较低。成立于1933年的田纳西流域管理局，对流域进行综合治理，使其成为一个具有防洪、航运、发电、供水、养鱼、旅游等综合效益的水利网。 北美洲以三大南北纵列带为特征的地形结构，对于大陆气候的分异有特别重要的意义。影响最显著的是西部科迪勒拉山系，它由三重山脉和一系列山间高原、盆地组成，不仅高度相当大，宽度也很大，沿海又缺乏深入大陆的海湾。因此，科迪勒拉山系一方面成为极地太平洋气团向东侵入的重要障碍，使温和湿润的海洋性气候仅局限于北纬40°以北的西岸，处于背风位置的山间高原和山间盆地成为半干旱和干旱气候；另一方面，极地加拿大气团和热带墨西哥湾、大西洋气团，由于科迪勒拉山系的阻挡也不能西侵，因而只能活动于大陆的中、东部。科迪勒拉山系的东带落基山也是大陆东、西部之间气候上的重要分界线，它不仅导致东、西部的降水量大不一样，对气温也有一定影响。一般说来，落基山以西，除北纬40°以北的沿海和迎风山坡外，年降水量均在500毫米以下，冬季降水占优势，夏季少雨或干旱，冬季气温则高于同纬度东部各地。落基山以东除高纬度的北部地带以及紧靠落基山的大平原部分地区以外，年降水量都在500毫米以上，夏季

美国田纳西河流域概况 一、自然特征 1.河流概况 田纳西河（英文名称tennessee river）是美国东南部的一支河流，最终注入俄亥俄河（密西西比河最大的支流）。田纳西河发源于阿巴拉契亚山西坡，由霍尔斯顿河和弗伦奇布罗德河汇合而成，河流形状呈“u”字形。以霍尔斯顿河源头计，河长约1450千米，流域面积约10.5万平方千米。田纳西河大部分流经阿巴拉契亚高原区，上中游河谷狭窄、比降较大、多急流，水力资源丰富。但因其上游河水湍急、河道狭窄，故上游的河段航运价值不高。下游地区为冲积平原，河道较宽、河水流速较缓，尤其从帕迪尤卡至弗洛伦斯之间450千米的河道，非常利于通航。该河主要靠大气降水补给，汛期在冬末春初，无结冰期，水量丰富但不稳定。 2.气候特征 由纬度位置和海陆位置可以得知，美国东南部与我国东南部具有很大的相似之处，两地均处于亚热带地区，都濒临海洋，受海陆热力性质差异的影响，因此，田纳西河流域的气候以亚热带季风性湿润气候为主。与亚热带季风气候相比较，该地降水的季节差异性不大，并且冬春降水较多，夏秋降水相对较少。主要原因大致有以下几个方面。 原因一：气旋活动的影响。北美洲东部冬夏季风也随季节而更替，

但不如东亚地区显著稳定。主要是因为：第一，北美大陆比亚欧大陆面积小，海陆热力性质差异远不如东亚强烈；第二，北美洲没有横亘大陆的东西走向地形阻障，无法将北方来的寒冷干燥气流与来自于墨西哥湾的暖湿气流分开，属性不同的气团不断交锋，气旋活动频繁，季风环流遭到破坏，所以降水不如东亚地区主要集中在夏季，而季节分配相对均匀。北美洲的气旋活动尤其以冬季最为频繁，使田纳西河流域冬春季降水多。 原因二：地形因素的影响。田纳西河流域地处阿巴拉契亚山脉西坡，阿巴拉契亚山脉的高度、宽度不大，并不能构成气候的重要分界线，但对局部地区的气候却有很大的影响。冬季，来自极地的冷气团（加拿大气团）在南下的过程中，随着纬度的降低而变暖，经过五大湖地区后，湿度略有增大，在阿巴拉契亚山脉西坡的抬升作用下，形成较多的降水。夏季，来自于墨西哥湾及大西洋上的暖湿气流北上，给北美洲大部分地区带来丰富降水，而阿巴拉契亚山脉西坡，地处暖湿气流的背风坡，降水相对较少。 原因三：北大西洋高压（亚速尔高压）的影响。夏季，北大西洋高压中心向北移动到35°n附近，其高压脊控制范围向西可伸展到北美大陆的东南部，田纳西河流域受高压脊控制，夏秋季降水相对较少。 但值得说明的是，这种气候与地中海气候有明显的不同，地中海气候夏季高温少雨，冬季温和多雨，并且降水的季节差异性很大。

UNIT 2 Remembering and Forgetting In-Class Reading Special Delivery 特种快递 到了机场，我才发现我兄弟搭乘的航班延误了一个小时。通常我在机场等候接人时，会把时间消磨在观看飞机起落上。可那天晚上我头疼得厉害。我想喷气发动机发出的噪音会使我头疼更厉害，于是决定在机场内逛一会儿。 当我走过那些店铺时，碰巧看到陈列在那儿的航空箱包，这使我想起了自己的公文包。我这才意识到公文包没在身上。我马上努力回忆会把它遗忘在了哪里。自从离开航空公司票务柜台后，我没有在其他任何地方停留过，所以我推想，我一定是把包留在那里了。我急忙回去取，可是公文包已无影无踪。起先我确信一定是有人顺手把它拿走了，但随后又想，也有可能看到包的人已把它交给了柜台，于是便在票务柜台排队等候。轮到我时，我描述了包的特征，并询问是否有人把它交到了柜台。那位航空公司代理摇了摇头。这时我朝他身后的行李输送带瞥了一眼，输送带正把行李从办理登机手续处往下面的装货区传送。我大声叫道：“我的包在那儿！”然而，当代理回头看时，公文包已传送到输送带的尽头，突然消失了。 “你看到你的包了？”代理问我。 “是的！”我大声说。“它刚穿过那边那个入口。这下我怎样才能把它取回来呢？” “这不难，”代理回答说。“把你的行李领取凭证给我，我想我们能够在装机前截住它。” “可我没有行李凭证！”我答道。“我没办托运！我哪儿都不去。我是来接人的。”我平静了一下情绪，解释了事情的经过，并指出很可能有人把包交到了柜台，而某位代理把它和其他行李一起办了托运并放到了传送带上。 代理告诉我，能找回包的唯一办法是，填写一张认领单，在上面写清公文包的外观特征。等我填完表格，代理打电话到下面的行李区查询时，包已被装上了一架航班，但不知是哪一架。代理记下了我的电话号码，并保证他们一找到包就给我打电话。尽管我住在苏城，离机场有一个半小时的车程，他们还是会一找到包就把它送到我家来。 我兄弟的航班到了。我们取了他的箱子后便走向停车场找我的车。回家的路上我把公文包的事告诉了他。到了家，我们把行李从车上卸下来。当我兄弟从车里拿出一只公文包时，我真不敢相信自己的眼睛。原以为已丢失的公文包其实根本就没有被带进机场！它一直躺在后座的地上。我意识到，此时此刻航空公司的人正在飞往丹佛、圣路易斯和芝加哥的航班上逐一检查核对行李，寻找我的公文包。一想到要打电话告诉他们我已经在自己的车里找到了包，心里真叫痛苦。 我们进屋时电话铃正响着。接电话时，我惊呆了。电话里一位航空公司的工作人员说：“我们有好消息告诉你！我们在丹佛找到了你的公文包，十一点前应该到这里。午夜后不久便
