2.I really enjoyed my years at university,
and so did Jackie.
3.Choosing the right course is always a
major problem for new students, and so is organizing one’s time on campus.
4.I’m thinking of going to the lecture on
post-colonial literature, and so is Li Ming.

1.在欧洲的大学校园里,大学生以新的
姿态和激情投入到争取自由和正义的
事业中去,大规模的社会主义或共产
主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日
益升级的暴力冲突。
2.现在,政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒
似乎不是凭借大学的助力,而是冲破
其阻力才发生的。当然,一点不假,
高等教育仍然重要。例如,在英国,
布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010 年让
50%的30 岁以下的人上大学的目标
(即使愤世嫉俗的人会说,这是要把
他们排除在失业统计数据之外)。
3.我从没指望通过上文学理论课来了解
我这一代人的特征,或了解美国大学

4.我们这一代人来自所谓的短世纪
(1914-1989),生于其后期。这个世
纪充满了战争和革命,它改变了人类
文明,推翻了强权政府,给我们留下
了非同寻常的机会和特权。我们所得

要多。

1.Instead of resolving contradictions, the
series of measures taken by the
government gave rise to more violent
clashes. The Opposition formed an
alliance with the trade unions and
launched a general strike, which
ultimately brought about the downfall of
the government.
2.Nowadays, the gap between the
university and the real world is shrinking
and students are becoming more and
more practical. Gone are the days when
the university was an ivory tower in which scholars pursued knowledge as an end rather than a means to an end.
3.I never hoped to learn the subject well
by attending those lectures. But I did go to lectures, for it was the place where I could get the important points of the course and learn how to organize materials and how to reason.
4.Although I have been trying every
means to solve the problem, I cannot work out a satisfactory solution. But when I went to the kitchen to get a drink, something clicked and made me realize that the solution might be quite simple. Reading across cultures

1.Bologna University is about 900
years old.
2.Students paid the lecturers for their
work.
3.Five students were the minimum
number needed to attend a lecture.
4.The lecturer was declared absent
and given a fixed fine.
5.There were a number of other
reasons for a lecturer to be punished.
These included: if lecturers failed to
meet the standards set out in the
university statutes; if they started
lectures a minute late or if they went
on beyond the approved time; if
they failed to cover the syllabus
according to an agreed timetable;
and if they passed over a difficult
subject or failed to emphasize each
part of a difficult syllabus.
6.Four students were elected as spies.
7.They were obliged to report
irregularities such as bad lecturing
technique, failure to cover the
syllabus, or absence without leave.
8.Students lost their power over
lecturers by 1350 because the
payment system was changed.
Lecturers were appointed and paid
by the local town council.

1.这种所谓的运动神经模仿就是“同感”
的原始技术含义,而“同感”这个词
于20世纪20年代由美国心理学家E.B.
铁钦纳首次使用。铁钦纳的理论是:
同感发自对他人痛苦的一种身体模
仿,这种模仿继而在自身引起同样的
心理感受。
2.他当时在寻找一个与同情有所区别的
词;同情是针对他人的一般困境而发
的,无须分担他人的任何感受。小孩
两岁半左右就渐渐不再有运动神经模
仿行为,那时他们会意识到别人的痛
苦与自己的不同,会更有能力安慰别
人。
3.我也喜欢生人脸上那瞬间的震惊表
情、匆忙的微笑和他们竭力装出的“正
常脸色”。如果他们这套仪式做得够
好,我就会微微转过头,把头发掖到
离他们较近的那只耳朵后面。
4.我告诉他说:“我基本上只读唇语,因
为这比用手语更容易,但这不是我一
直盯着你的嘴唇的唯一原因。”他大笑
起来。我们又说了一会儿话。后来,
主人放大音乐的音量,调暗“舞池”
的灯光;我不得不凑近他,近得多得
多,以便能在昏暗中接着读他的唇语。
我的确读到了他的唇语。

1.The moment I saw those old photos in
the drawer, tears welled up in my eyes,
for my memory went back to the days
when I lived happily with my
grandparents, my parents and my
brothers and sisters.
2.When a student slipped on a pool of
water and fell over, people’s reaction
diverged from one another. Some
approached caringly to see if he was hurt
and if they could help; some just stood
there confusing over what to do about it;
while others just tuned out.
https://www.sodocs.net/doc/b91480218.html,st Saturday morning, I did the usual
and went shopping in the supermarket.
When I was about to open the door of
my car, I found that I did not have my
wallet on me. I could do nothing but go
back home in search of it, but I failed to
find it anywhere.
4.When I was a second grader, one of my
classmates got a red radio-controlled toy
car as a birthday gift. The rest of us
could only admire, but could not imitate,
because the car was expensive and was
bought in Hong Kong, a place which
seemed to us as far away as New York at
that time.

1.这是2002年的电影《有种来抓我》的
剧情简介。影片讲述了小弗兰克·阿巴格纳尔(莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥饰演)的故事。影片主人公是一位聪明绝顶的年轻骗术大师,曾在不同时间扮演医生、律师和飞行员的角色,在26个国家伪造了价值600万美元以上的支票。
他成了联邦调查局有史以来伪造罪头号通缉令名单上最年轻的通缉犯。
2.2003年以来,身份盗窃案变得越来越
常见。很少有人会想象到,为了预防这种改变人生的犯罪,采取一些预防措施有多么重要,比如把邮件拿到邮局去寄而不是丢在信箱里等人来取、把文件切碎而不是直接把它们连同垃圾一道扔出去,甚至使用几美元一支的(特效)笔等等。
3.假如说我们从恐怖分子那里——更不
用说从动作电影那里——学到了一招,
那就是,工具也是武器。全球通用的信
用卡和支持它们的数据库是去除商业
摩擦的工具。换句话说,它们是以让各
方最省事的方式从人们那里取钱的工
具。
4.无论通用身份的前景如何,我们尚不知
道该如何应付这样一个世界:无论我身
在何处,一切都可能与我有关联。一方
面,这个世界给我们提供了无可置疑的
种种方便;另一方面,我们又面对着所
有这些强化组合的信息(如果是合理的
强化组合该多好啊)所带来的种种危
险。这种危险虽然模糊,但显然离我们
很近。我们尚不知如何在两者之间保持
平衡。

5.These are important documents, the
content of which should be kept strictly
confidential. If you need to dispose of
them, you must shred them or tear them
up instead of throwing them out with the
trash.
6.Nowadays, white-collar crimes such as
forging checks, ID cards and credit cards
have become very common. Though we
have learnt much about how to prevent
ourselves from being cheated, it seems
that we could be its victims at any time.
7.It has been several months since the
earthquake. Life has returned to normal,
and people are busy going about their
business. But there is no escaping the
fact that the mental trauma the
earthquake brought to people will never
be wiped out.
8.Why does it matter that a library has
many new books and electronic
resources readily available to the readers?
This is because if so, the scholars know
the latest development in their own
fields and know whether their research is
valuable.

1.一个事件光有客观重要性显然还
不够——世界上有大量全球性的
大问题,都会造成戏剧性的后果,
从贫穷问题到全球变暖问题——
但由于它们都是进行中的,并不都
会在同一天成为头条。对比之下,
9/11不仅具有国际性,而且奇特怪
异、出人意料,还(可能使读者对
身陷那场悲剧中的人们的痛苦感
同身受,从这个意义上讲)极具人
性。
2.但是,电视新闻未必比报纸报道更
客观或更可靠,因为你在屏幕上看
到的图像是经过记者或编辑根据
特殊的目的,或至少是按照指示筛
选过的;它们是从一个独特的视点
展现给观众的。如果把摄像机移到
别的地方,你就会看到另一番景
象。
3.互联网为任何有意见的人提供了
一个便利的窗口;报纸编辑最喜欢
的莫过于给它们提供各种不同的
反馈和意见,他们能从中得到安
慰。如今十几岁的少年已不记得曾
经没有互联网的日子了;只有在写
关于印刷新闻这一特定媒体的作
业时他们才去读报。
4.如此看来,报纸是不会轻易消失
的。未来报纸发展的趋势包括对本
地新闻需求的日益增长,而始于
20世纪80年代后期的对生活方式
新闻的持续开发利用——尤其在
个人理财和旅游方面——将会创
造新的收入来源。

1.So sudden, so striking was the news
that I sat motionless on sofa for a
few minutes. My first instinct was to
call our leaders to tell them what
had happened and see what we
could do for those colleagues who
died or got injured in this traffic
accident.
2.Paper books for children have an
enormous advantage over e-books.
For children, a beautifully printed
paper book is not only a book but
also a toy they can play with.
Reading a paper book is rather
different from reading a book on the
screen.
3.In recent years, traditional media are
in the tendency of decline and new
media are developing rapidly.
However, this does not necessarily
mean that traditional media have
lost the market. When it comes to
reading things like news, people are
still used to such traditional media
as newspaper.
4.With the explosion of the financial
crisis, many enterprises find
themselves in difficulties. For those
who have no circulating fund to
invest in new production and would
not let the vicious circle continue,
the only thing they can do is turn to
government for help.

5.Though they came across many
difficulties, under his leadership
they successfully found a market for
their products, and the overall

In recognition of his outstanding
contributions, the company decided
to give him a flat as an award. 6.When John challenged him to
fencing, he was very embarrassed
because he knew that he was no
match for John at it. If he took the
challenge, he would surely lose; but
if he didn’t, he would be a coward.
7.He caught a cold yesterday.
Assuming that he would get better
after a good night’s sleep, we sent
him to school this morning. But
later in the afternoon, he got back
home with a fever and was confined
to bed.
8.In the past few years, I have had
several severe illnesses and lived in

abandoned my dreams. In spite of
everything I clung to my dreams,
which have turned out to be a great
support and comfort to me.

●The writer creates an atmosphere to
show that she was very tense and nervous (dry mouth, heat beating), but at the same time she was excited and energetic (heart beating, adrenaline pumping) before her race.
●“Burning legs” give readers a feeling of
pain, struggling, exhaustion and possibly
a fear of losing the race (because of the
opening gap).
●The word “tingle”spreads the effect to
readers that they could feel her feeling of excitement, achievement and victory through a feel of pain all over her body.
●The three quotes also show the writers’
feelings during three stages of the race: tense and excited (before the race);
struggling and fearful (during the race)
and victorious (in the end).
2. They highlight the key messages which
she kept telling herself, the messages which
helped her win. She invites readers to see her
inner thoughts with this simple and factual
information: two minutes, one more lap
towards being the Olympic champion.
3. This shows that she could not believe that
she had actually realized her childhood
dream. She was in a momentary state of
doubt, doubting herself, which is natural
when something really important and
significant happens to you.

1.Yes, particularly she is good at describing
her feelings through using how different
body parts react and sense the emotions:
?deafening noises, heart beating loudly,
shouts of encouragement, cries of hope,
roar of the crowd,
clapping and shouting with delight
(sounds);
?pumping adrenaline, a tingle through
the whole of my body, bandaged ankle,
burning legs, thoughts of pain (feelings
in the body);
?lifted spirits, mental stamina, inner self,
I thought I had, keep negative thoughts
from my mind, smiled, still not sure
(internal thoughts and reactions);
?the sea of faces, arms aloft, fists
clenched (body actions).
She is also successful in using a string of
emotional adjectives and adverbs to
describe her feelings and surroundings
which stimulated her feelings:
?illuminated, deafening, tantalisingly,
loudly, fantastic, completely exhilarating,
terrifying, composed, unified, vocal,
emotional and physical, gruelling,
exhausted, not sure, relief, calm.
2.They must have been extremely excited
and proud that she had won. This is
reflected through their shouting, loud
cheering, and waving flags to support
her.

1 the outsider’s view
The writer talks about the “mystery” of injury time and “something called” the offside rule; an insider, or even someone who just watches football games occasionally on TV, would know very well what these are. As he says, he “has no clue what’s going on”.
2 words related to chance, accident and confusion
?Words related to chance: a game of chance,
it’s a matter of luck, the chance nature of this
game, the ball happens to be aimed about
right, it’s sheer luck
?Words related to accident: it looks like an
accident, accidentally bouncing off random
players, takes full credit for this accident,
seem so out of control
?Words related to confusion: I will have no
clue what’s going on, a scene of sheer chaos,
the chaos resumes, strategies and regulations
are so obscure, the mystery of injury time,
this leaves everyone perplexed, at a loss for
words, The mystery remains

9.当夜幕降临悉尼时,雨夜开始悄悄
地从夜空飘落。几百盏灯把澳大利
亚体育场照得灯火通明,场内的声
音震耳欲聋。走向跑道时我看了一
眼四周看台上无数的脸,但我的注
意力还是很集中。再过几分钟奥运
金牌的归属就要见分晓了,它悬挂
在远处,很诱人。
10.我知道自己会全力以赴,拼尽全力
跑完全程。我感觉自己已经进入最
佳状态。我只要跑两圈就行了,就
两圈。跑完这两圈,过去两天以及
28年来所有情感和身体上的辛苦
付出就将被胜利或者失败所淹没。
这一跑真是生死攸关。
11.我知道,如果一个人不是从小就接
触某项外来的运动,他就很难对它
感兴趣。现在我正遭遇同样的文化
壁垒。6月9号世界杯足球赛就要
开始了,而我对球员在“球场”上
干些什么却一无所知。看起来这是
给这个所谓的精彩赛事揭短的一
次大好机会。
12.时不时地会有球员脸上挨了一肘,
躺在草地上痛苦地翻腾。这时会暂
停计时,几个提着黑包的小个子男
人会跑过来按摩他那假装、胡说的
受伤部位,然后他又活蹦乱跳地站

9.He cried his heart out when he heard
that he was not in the list of the
school team. After all, he had gone
through months of hard training and
grueling competition, and had
learned how to shoot with great skill
and accuracy.
10.The coach, who was known for his
strictness, had meant from the very
start for all the players to shut out
all the distracting thoughts and push
themselves beyond their limits to
ensure that they win a medal at the
29th Olympic Games held in
Beijing.
11.Since after he took over the team,
the new coach has always borne in
mind his mission and finally made it
to the championship of the league
matches. When interviewed, the
coach was at a loss for words
because of excitement.
12.Football is an amazing sport.
Despite the fact that most finals are
0-0, 1-0 or 2-1, people keep
flocking to see football fames. For
me, it remains a mystery what is so
attracting about football.

14.There are three: baseball, (American)
football and basketball
15.Baseball is a relaxed, leisurely
spectator sport; football is more
violent, with a contemporary appeal;
basketball-in the cities-is a way of
life.
16.It involves strategies and the fans
become generals planning troop
movement (because there is a large
number of “set-piece”strategies
with players all following practiced
moves according to instructions, so
fans knowing some of these can
pretend they are general, like the
team coach.
17.It gives the impression of being
busy and active, but you can be lazy
and watch it.
18.They are country club sports: You
have to pay membership fees to join
golf and tennis clubs.
19.Middle Americans (those who live
in the central States) love the noise,
the violence and the danger of the
cars.
20.The small town kids learn to shoot
with great skill and accuracy; city
kids develop “the moves”(they
learn more intricate aspects because
they live the game).
21.Because in a gang the kids conform
to ideas about manhood and identity,
and they also do this with
basketball.

1.Scientists used to believe that animals
were like machines programmed to react
to stimuli, in other words, they were not
considered capable of feeling or thinking,
and certainly not of understanding
abstract concepts.
2.Our perceptions of animals are filtered
through our own human understanding of
the world, in other words, we often
project human feelings and thoughts onto
other creatures.
3.In his book The Descent of Man,
published in 1871, he questioned whether
higher mental abilities such as self-consciousness and memory were limited to human beings, in other words, Darwin speculated that human and non-human minds aren’t all that different.

3.Many products for sale seem to scream at us, "Buy me! Buy me!" Advertising is a big busin ess in our world with many products competing for our attention. Think of the last time you boug ht clothes. You probably noticed the variety of colors, patterns, fabrics and brands you could choo se from. Which kind of soft drink would you like to have today or what kind of computer do you want? Advertisers are skilled in the art of making their products look the best to appeal to our se nses. But products aren't always what they seem. Sometimes advertising is deceptive and as cons umers ,we must be careful about what we choose to buy. It is important to learn to compare prod ucts and identify our purpose in purchasing the things we need. But the good thing about advertising is that it helps people to make decisions and refine thei r choices. In the United States, the Ad Council creates timely public service messages to the nation. Th eir purpose is to raise awareness of public problems that citizens can respond to. Inspiring ads ca use individuals to take action and even save lives. Pollution in America, for example has been red uced over the years because of the creative Public Service advertisements that the council provid es" Please, please don't be a litter bug, 'cause every 'litter bit' hurts." Many families have taught t heir children to place litter in the trash can in response to this catchy phrase, which has affected g enerations as each succeeding generation has taught their children not to litter. 4.Nature imposes difficult conditions upon the earth from time to time . The tornado and fo rest fire destroy natural resources ,homes and other structures ,and very often harm or kill peopl e . Technological tragedies happen with little or no warning as we see trains crash and airplanes f all from the sky shortly after take-off. As tragic as calamities are , they seem to bring out the best in human nature . people trained in em ergency care arrive at the scene and begin assisting the inj ured .Others come with equipment to remove debris. Men , women ,and young people willingly c ome to the scene of an accident , hoping to be of help in some way . These selfless acts of kindne ss make our world a better place . compassion eases the wounds of calamities. American Airlines flight number 587 crashed less than three minutes after taking off from JF K Airport in New York in November,2001. Witnesses s aw an engine fire develop on the plane’s nu mber one engine located under the left wing of the aircraft .seconds later ,the airliner crashed int o eight homes ,completely destroying four of them .All 260 people aboard the airplane were kille d along with six people at the crash site ,leaving many people to mourn the loss of their loved on es .the residents (people who live in the area of the crash ) rallied together to comfort those griev ing, while others removed bodies from the wreckage and did the necessary clean-up. 工程实施困难的条件下在地上的时候。龙卷风和森林火灾破坏自然资源,房屋和其他建筑物,和经常伤害或杀死人。技术的悲剧发生在很少或没有预警,因为我们看到火车事故,飞机起飞后不久就从天空坠落。一样悲惨的灾难,他们似乎显示出人性中最好的。在急诊受训的人到达现场并开始帮助受伤的人则跟设备清除残骸。男人,女人,和年轻人自愿来到事故现场,希望能有帮助。这些无私的善举让我们的世界变得更美好。同情减轻灾害的伤口。 美国航空公司587号航班坠毁不到三分钟后从纽约肯尼迪机场起飞,11月2001。目击者看到一个引擎火灾发展在飞机上的1号引擎位于下飞机的左翼,接着后,客机坠毁八家,完全摧毁了四个260名乘客的飞机遇难连同6人在事故现场,造成许多人悼念失去的亲人,居民(住在崩溃的面积)聚集在一起,安慰那些悲伤,而另一些人则从残骸,并把尸体移走必要的清理。 5.Success can be reached in different ways by people in different careers. Bill Gates began at age to program computers,His vision for personal computing has been central to the success of M icrosoft Corporation, the company he founded with his childhood friend in 1975 . The former CEO of General Electric, Jack Welch, is a business legend. A famous quote by Mr. Welch is,” Chang before you have to. ”He believes in leading by example and encourages his empl oyees to do their best every day. Michael Jordan s aid,”I accept failure, but I can’t accept not trying.” He is one of the best athl etes to ever play team sports. His great smile, athletic achievements, and pleasant personality ha ve made him one of the most famous athletes in the world. Michael Jordan spent a lot of time pla ying basketball as a child but in senior middle school he was taken off the team . Instead of giving up , he worked through adversity and became the greatest basketball player yet .
