passage 1

The weekends are a time for families in Britain. Often the parents are not at work. having worked a five-day week from Monday to Friday, Saturdays are a busy time for shops with many families going shopping.

Sundays ｕｓｅd to be a very special day of the week in Britain. it was the one day of the week for “worship and rest”. the shops were closed ａnd most people were at home ｏr at church. popular leisure activities on Sunday ｕｓｅd to be going to church ａnd doing odd jobs around the home such as gardening and diy.

大学英语预备级2习题1

《大学英语预备级2》习题1 第一部分 Part I Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) Passage One In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing U.S. minority. As their children began moving up through the nation's schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation's best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree. Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian Culture that breeds success, such ideals that stress family values and emphasize education. Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship. 1. While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students ______. A、feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English B、are afraid of their academic successes C、still worry about unfair treatment in society D、generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents 2. What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans? ______ A、A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian Americans’ hard work. B、Hard work and intelligence. C、Parental help and a limited knowledge of English. D、Asian culture and the American educational system. 3. Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because ______. A、their English is not good enough B、they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgement in these areas C、there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures D、they know little about American cultures and Western cultures

You’ll know why somebody is pointing to a tree and saying a strange word. Yo u may even have to relearn it many times before you finally actually learn it. 这是你在学习外语是必须再次学会做的事。你得学会将声音和事物联系起来，用一种新的方式思考。只是这一次，因为你已经长大，所以能够更快地去理解需要做的事。你会知道为什么有人指着一棵树，说着奇怪的单词。但是你仍然得学习那个新单词。说不定还得重复学习多遍才能最终真正的掌握它。 There is an important idea here. In America our name for that big green leafy thing i s ”tree”, but in Germany the name for that thing is “Baum”. In Arab countries the name i s “shajra”. And in China they say ”shu”. These various words are not themselves “tree s”. They are just some of the many hundreds of different sounds used in the world to rep resent that great big green leafy thing. 这里有一个重要的概念。在美国我们称那个高大的绿色的长满叶子的东西为tree，但是在德国那东西叫Baum。在阿拉伯国家，它的名字是shajra。在中国，我们称它为shu。这些各式各样的词本身并不是树。它们只是世界各地用来代表那个高大的绿色的长满叶子的东西的几百种声音中的几个。 To learn a foreign language you must get away from the idea of translating words. Tr anslating takes too much time and mental energy. You will never learn to really speak an d understand a foreign language if you have to translate in your mind. Instead, learn to associate the new sound directly with the image in your mind. So when we hear the

新视野大学英语(第二版)预备级2：课文翻译

新视野大学英语预备级2：课文翻译 Unit 1 课文A 约会 当我还是个13岁左右的年轻小伙子时，我有一群年龄比我稍大、经验比我丰富的伙伴。他们认识许多不同的女孩，经常在天气宜人的日子里和她们一块儿到海滩上去玩。 有一次我们在海滩上时，大多数小伙子都和那些姑娘们到海边的礁石上玩去了。我对其中一个女孩颇感兴趣，自言自语道："我想带芭芭拉去看电影……" 我想说的就是这句话,而旁边那个家伙听了兴奋不已。他迈开大步走到礁石上，找到了她。他一个劲地催她回到海滩上, 一路上大声说: "芭芭拉, 范曼有事要对你说。" 那情形真令人尴尬极了。 不一会儿，大伙儿都围着我站了一圈，吵吵嚷嚷，对我说："好的，范曼，说出来呀！" 于是，我邀请她去看电影。这是我的第一次约会。 回到家里，我把这事告诉了妈妈。她给了我各种各样的指导，告诉我如何做这样那样的事。比如说，如果我们不得不在街上走时，我应该走在路的外侧。她甚至告诉我什么样的事儿该说。她在遵守这样一个传统：母亲教儿子如何善待下一代女性。 吃过晚饭，我洗了个澡，装扮好之后就到芭芭拉家去找她。这对于我来说是一次十分激动人心的特别的经历，我感到紧张，甚至有点儿害羞。当时她还在楼上做准备，这是意料中的事（女孩子临行前总是那样），因此，她的家人让我在餐厅里等她。他们在餐厅里跟许多朋友一起吃馅饼。他们嘴里一边衔着叉子，一边说着这样的话："他真可爱！" 还说了其他各种各样的事儿。我并不觉得喜悦。这绝对是可怕的。 我对这次约会的一切记忆犹新。在我们从她家走到城里戏院的路上，我们谈到了弹钢琴的事。我告诉她，在我年幼的时候，我父母让我学了一段时间的钢琴，六个月后我还在弹"花之圆舞曲"，于是我忍无可忍了。你知道，其他男孩会以为我是笨蛋，这种想法困扰着我。连续几个星期辛辛苦苦弹奏"花之圆舞曲"却没有多大进展，这对我来说太难受了，因此我放弃了。我对任何表现出弱智的迹象真的非常敏感。 看完电影后，我送她回家。她穿着粉红色的外衣，我赞赏了一番。然后我们俩便握手告别。 芭芭拉对我说："谢谢你让我度过了一个美好的夜晚。" "不用谢！" 我答道。我感到惊喜。 此后的再一次约会中（这一次是同另一个女孩），我向女孩说再见，她答道："谢谢你让我度过了一个美好的夜晚。" 我没觉得那么惊喜了。我开始渐渐明白："谢谢你让我度过了一个美好的夜晚"或许意味着" 我不想再见你了"。 我对我带出去的第三个女孩说完再见后，她正张开嘴准备说话，我便抢先说："谢谢你让我度过了一个美好的夜晚！" 她停顿了一下，盯着我看了一会儿，说道："谢谢你……呃……噢！……是的……啊，我也度过了一个美好的夜晚，谢谢你！"
