Reference Version:

I love travelling by train. Fast expresses, slow local trains which stop at every station, suburban trains taking businessmen to their offices and home again; I enjoy them all. It must be the element of romance that attracts me. There’s no romance in a car on a motorway, which is a box of metal and rubber on a strip of concrete, or in flying through the air in a pressurized tube from one identical plastic and glass airport to another. But trains are different. On a train, you can walk around, look at the scenery, observe your fellow passengers; whereas in a plane all you can see are the clouds and the back of other people’s heads. And then there are the stations. Some, I am afraid, have become too like airports; others, fortunately, are old and dirty, full of

unexpected details and with their own individual peculiarities. Travelling by train remains an adventure, as you try to interpret the timetable, persuade the booking office clerk to sell you a ticket and understand the incomprehensible messages coming over the loudspeaker systems. Then there’s that delightful uncertainty as you wonder whether you are on the right train, or the right part of the train. There’s nothing like it.

Reference version:

I applied for my first job before I entered the university because I was short of money. The school where I applied for a job was ten miles away from where I lived and I was not sure if I could get the job. However, after a terrible journey I was so depressed that I no longer felt nervous. The Victorian schoolhouse stood amid fumes and dust by a busy main road. The headmaster was not at all scholarly, neither was the inside of the house academic looking. By and by I discovered that the headmaster and I had very little in common. He wanted me to teach twenty-four boys from seven to thirteen who were to be split up into three levels. I had to teach everything including the subjects I abhorred. Furthermore, I had to work on Saturdays too. The pay, however, was low. To top it all, I had to work under a woman, the headmaster’s wife, who was the real manager of the school.

Reference version:

Smallpox, the most devastating and feared pestilence in human history, is making its last

stand in two remote areas of Ethiopia, one in the desert and one in the mountains. By the end of August only five villages had experienced cases in the preceding eight weeks. More important, the onset of the last known case was on August 9. Because man is the only known reservoir of the smallpox virus, the disease should be eliminated forever when the last infected person recovers. Right now more than 1,000 Ethiopian health workers, together with 10 epidemiologists of the World Health Organization, are combing the countryside to make sure no more cases exist. For two years after the last case is recorded the search will continue for additional outbreaks. If none is found, and if a WHO international commission can be satisfied that the search has been thorough, smallpox will be declared to have been eradicated from the earth. It will be the first such achievement in medical history. (From a medical report written in 1976)

Reference version:

Some people go on holiday unwillingly, as in the case of Tom Long. He and his brother Peter were very dear to each other and had planned to spend the summer holidays together enjoyably. Now that Peter was down with the measles, Tom had to go to his Uncle and Aunt’s to be kept away from Peter because of this dreadful disease. On the day of his departure, he looked longingly at the garden and at the would-be treehouse among the apple tree branches, with anger surging up inside. How he’d miss the garden and Peter! Tom’s mother wasn’t any happier in sending him away. Besides, she was worried whether Tom would behave himself at his uncle’s. When Tom got into his Uncle’s car, he sat in hostile silence in spite of his Uncle’s friendliness. He would much rather that his Uncle was cruel to him so that he could have an excuse to run back home. His Aunt was even worse, because she was a child-lover. How could he stand this! He would be cooped up in a small flat with no garden, no playmates. He was cornered.

When I was very little, I longed to go to the countryside with my father and brother, but I never got a chance. Father went once a year during his holiday to the countryside where my grandmother lived. As a rule, he took my brother Qiangqiang with him. I remember when I was four, there was a lot of talking about countryside-going as Father’s holiday was drawing near.

I was certain that this time Father would take Qiangqiang along as usual. But one morning while I was in the bedroom playing with my doll, Mother called up, “Pingping, come down.”To my surprise, Mother told me with tears in her eyes that I would be sent to my grandmother’s. I was delighted and looked everywhere for my father and Qiangqiang, but they were nowhere to be seen. When the time came for me to leave, Mother murmured, “Pingping, try to be good. Mama and Papa are sure to come to see you soon.”It was not till then that I knew I would be going to the countryside alone, all alone. I clung to my mother, weeping tears of sadness.

1.This is usually known as the Bermuda Triangle. More than a hundred planes and ships have

disappeared without leaving a trace in this area, most of which got lost since 1945.

Furthermore, a thousand lives have been lost in the past thirty-three years, and not a single body or even a piece of wreckage from the vanishing planes or ships has been found.

2.Many of the lost planes had had normal contact with their base or terminal destination until

they suddenly disappeared altogether. And some others had been able to radio the most extraordinary messages, saying that their instruments had stopped functioning, that their compasses were spinning, that the sky had turned yellow and hazy (on a clear day) and that the ocean (which was calm nearby) did not look right, and then, all of a sudden they disappeared without making clear what was really the matter.

3.Up to the present day, there has not been any explanation of the disappearance of ships and

planes. And when the Seventh Coast Guard declares that they will discontinue the search for

a plane or ship which is overdue, the general public and the searchers cannot help expressing

the feeling or making the comment either directly or indirectly that it is connected with the ongoing phenomenon of the Bermuda Triangle.

Reference version:

Columbus made four voyages to the west between 1492 and 1504 in his vain search for a sea route to Asia. The mystery of why he failed to find it haunted him and filled him with sadness.

Wherever he went —to Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, South America, Panama, down the coast of Central America —it was always the same story. Instead of golden palaces, there were grass huts and palm-leaf tents. Instead of silk-robed merchant princes, he found “Indians” who did not even have shirts on their backs.

At times Columbus became reconciled to the truth that this new land was not China, not Japan, not the Spice Islands. He seemed to accept it as a part of the earth that the geographers of

Europe had never heard of before. It was another world —and he called it exactly that —but Columbus also insisted until he died that the land he had reached was an unknown part of Asia.

It was Sunday and Kate and I convinced my uncle that there could be three Sundays in a week. We invited two sailor friends who had just travelled round the world and had completed the trip that very day. The trip took them exactly one year. One captain insisted that the next day would be Sunday while the other said that the day before ought to have been Sunday. Kate explained that both of them were right, as they travelled in opposite directions. The earth is round, about 24,000 miles around, spinning from west to east. As one of the captains travelled eastward, he gained one hour for every 1,000 miles; but when the other travelled westward, he lost one hour over the same distance. So when they completed the 24,000 miles round the earth, one lost 24 hours while the other gained 24 hours. That was why the one travelling eastward was one day ahead of London time, and the one travelling westward was one day behind London time. Thus there were three Sundays in a week.

“But Dad, I’ll be drafted this year anyway,” Tom interrupted hastily. “So why not enlist now? My chances of getting some technical training will be better if I enlist —that makes a difference, you know.”

“Well,” broke in his father. “You’ve had a good first year at college. This isn’t the time to quit school.”

“Dad, my freshman grades weren’t very good. I don’t think I’m able to catch up with the others. Besides, I know how you hate to get into debt. I could never feel right about being a burden to you.”

Reference version:

Shakespeare has been the subject of an enormous amount of study by many nations through many many generations, and it is impossible to suggest how broad and how deep his effect has been upon the world. Any schoolboy, however, must feel something of the power of his invention. We have been studying him in connection with Elizabethan drama, of which his work was a part. And we have found him often using old stories, always writing with an effort for theatrical success, and frequently following the methods of his contemporaries. But the power and copiousness of his invention nevertheless stand out unparalleled. The invention is accompanied by superb powers of characterization and poetical expression. Shakespeare has created a host of persons to live with us and he has made us see their virtues and failings and their likeness to ourselves, and their meaning for our lives.

Reference version:

Thousands of books have been written on William Shakespeare, but very little is known of his personal life. The only handwriting left by Shakespeare which we have now is a number of his signatures, one of which is on his will dated 25 March, 1616. It seems that he died a man of considerable means. His birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon, has also made a thriving business out of him though tourists understand little of his work and know even less of his life. He might have had some experience with some visiting theatrical companies or even got a job with them. However, he disappeared completely in 1585 and did not “reappear” until seven years later when he emerged in London as an actor and playwright. Over the next 15 years he contributed more than 30 plays to the world as well as marvellous verse. Where did he get such a wealth of knowledge on such a wide range of subjects? Who was the “dark lady” that made him so sad? Where had his manuscripts gone to? Maybe some day we will uncover a bundle of his letters which could shed light on these and other questions.

Sentence Combination

Reference version:

It is ridiculous to suggest that travel necessarily broadens a man’s mind when there are so many people who just do not notice what there is for them to see. For them a journey means simply going from one place to another. Fortunately there are others who cannot look out of the window of their home without seeing something fresh and wonderful. They are the ones who learn most from travel. They are the ones who never close their minds to fresh experiences. They do not expect the whole would to live as they live in their own little corner of it. When they see men wearing different clothes or living in novel kinds of houses, they do not say, “How absurd!”They are interested enough to find out the reasons for ideas which are new to them.

Reference version:

The Chunnel, as it is known, was to open at last after seven years of construction. An apprehensive atmosphere pervaded the English end of the Chunnel Tunnel. A retired government worker and his wife voiced their strong sentiments against the forthcoming opening of the Chunnel and the French. Meanwhile, on the French side, a farmer showed his contempt for the English. But the Chunnel was to materialize, whether they liked it or not.

The inauguration ceremony, to be presided by the English Queen and the French President was scheduled on May 6, 1994. The Chunnel would then serve as a shuttle service, bringing great convenience to the people on both sides.

On June 28, 1991, dozens of journalists took the construction workers’ train to take part in the breakthrough ceremony. Work on the Chunnel was not quite finished; the walls bare, and the air filled with dust. Then, the breakthrough —light, music, applause, champagne corks popping, swarms of French workers clambering to the English side and embracing the English workers. Only at this point did one Englishman feel that this Chunnel was his too. As more

and more Frenchmen climbed over, he guessed that there would be a deluge of visitors after the completion of the Tunnel.

Beijing Hotel, Beijing

Dear Alex,

I’ve been in Beijing for two weeks now.

I find Beijing not as cold as it was ten years ago when I taught at Qinghua University. And I find I can hardly recognize it in some places. So many new buildings.

I’ve met many of my old friends. In fact, I hardly have any evenings alone. They are really interested in our factory and our products. I’ll give you a more detailed account of my trip when I come back.

Say hello to everyone for me, and take care.

Yours,

Ben

One of the most satisfying conversations I ever had was one with a young Dutchman in Paris ten years ago. I can’t remember what we talked about; I only recall that I knew no Dutch and he knew no Chinese. Luckily we both spoke a little French. I was trying to speak French to him

when suddenly I found myself looking for the French equivalent of “approximately.” I couldn’t think of the word at all, but then I remembered the German word for it. I used it. “Unge ahr”. He understood what I meant. Then we began to speak a mixture of French and German. Later it turned out that we could both speak a few words of Spanish, too. During the whole conversation, we had no difficulty in getting across to each other what we wanted to express in Spanish, French and German.

A mixture of Spanish, French and German is, of course, not acceptable as an official language; but I have heard of many people speaking some kind of “pidgin European” anyway.

Unit 1 在弗雷德看来，面试进行得很顺利。五天前他曾向一家小公司申请工作，现在那公司的一名董事正在对他进行面试。 在这之前弗雷德一直在当推销员。他现在想调工作并不是因为缺钱，而是因为作为一名推销员他几乎没有空闲的时间。 弗雷德在谈话前很担心，生怕头脑发昏说错话，但是很幸运他发现自己同这位董事的共同之处颇多。 显然这位董事很满意。正当弗雷德在想着自己很可能得到工作时，董事接着问他：“你愿意加班吗?” In Fred’s view, the interview was going very smoothly indeed. Five days before, he had applied for a job at a small business company and now he was being interviewed by one of its directors. Fred had been working as a salesman. He wanted to change his job not because he was short of money, but because as a salesman he could hardly enjoy any leisure at all. Fred had been worried that he might lose his head and say something silly, but fortunately he found that he had a lot in common with the director. It was clear that the director was quite satisfied. Fred was thinking that his chances of landing the job were favourable when the director proceeded to ask, “Do you mind working over time?” Unit 2 B.汉译英 汤姆一开始同父亲谈话就想直截了当地把自己的意思说出来。“爸爸，我作了一个重要的决定，我打算参军去（go into the services）。”父亲很吃惊，不赞同地看着他。“你不应该先得到学位吗？你总有机会服役的，在你……” “可是，爸爸，我今年无论如何会被征入伍的（be drafted）。”汤姆急着打断父亲说。“所以为什么不现在入伍呢（enlist）? 如果入伍了，我得到技术培训的机会就会更多些。要知道，那是很重要的。” “嗯……”父亲插嘴说，“你在大学里第一年学得不错，现在不是你离开学校的时候。” “爸爸，我大学一年级的成绩不很理想，我想我是赶不上其他同学的了。此外，我知道你多么不愿意背债（get into debt），要我成为你的负担，那么我永远不会觉得好受（feel right about）。” 听了这些，汤姆的父亲无言以对，但是他最终说了这么一句话：“我想也许你最好同你母亲谈一下。” As soon as Tom began his talk with his father, he wanted to gain his point directly. “I’ve made an important decision, Dad. I’m going into the services.” Tom’s father looked at him with an air of surprised disapproval. “Shouldn’t you get your degree first? You can always do your military service after …” “But Dad, I’ll be drafted this year anyway,” Tom interrupted

Dictation Unit 1 The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Sullivan, came to me. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old. On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant, I guessed from my mother’s sign and from the hurrying in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. Hanging down from the porch was sweet-smelling honeysuckle. My fingers lightly touched the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what surprise the future held for me. I felt approaching footsteps. I stretched out my hand as I supposed to my mother. Someone took it, and I was caught up and held close in the arms of her who had come to help me discover all things to me, and, more than anything else, to love me. Translation: 1.They al believe that he had a slim chance of success. 2.I didn’t know why she has an air of sadness all the time. 3.It was after all the students had taken their seats that the president of the students’ union proceeded to announce the camping itinerary. 4.The stomach is a vital organ of the human body; please take good care of it. 5.He considered it ridiculous for the general manager to attach so much importance to those routine trifles. 6.Her study, which ranged over many languages and cultures, was full of challenge. 7.As is scheduled, all the members of the stuff take turns to do late duty. 8.She was greatly upset at the thought of leaving her parents and living on her own in a remote area. 9.We do not worry so much about her qualifications for the job as about her health. 10.He was greatly excited about the prospect of leaving a cruise around the world.

新编英语教程第3册[李观仪主编]第三单元课后练习答案解析-

第三单元练习册答案 Comprehension A.（P32） 1. Anne Hathaway got Shakespeare’s real estate. A person’s whole property can be categorized into two kinds: real estate and personal estate. The former refers to land and buildings and the latter refers to money and other kinds of property. Shakespeare left his second best bed and furniture to his wife and the greater part of his estate to Susanna Hall. 2. For Anne Hathaway and his married daughter the most interesting part of the will was his signature because without it, the will would not have been valid. Shakespeare was a popular playwright in his day and an author of high standing. There was nothing unusual in his will, but his signature in the will and other signatures were all we have left of his handwriting, so to historians it is the most important and interesting part of the will, it was not so to his wife and daughter in this sense. 3. Every detail of Shakespeare’s life is fact as well as supposition. Many of his activities are vague to us, and he left behind a great many questions that experts have been trying to answer ever since: the exact date of his birth, the real source of his amazingly detailed knowledge of so many different subjects, his whereabouts during the seven years after departure from Stratford in 1585, the identity of the beautiful “dark lady” and the mystery about his manuscripts. We can well say that almost every detail of his personal life is based on supposition. 4. Shakespeare is considered to have been born in Roman times. “Roman times”, refers to the time beginning from the first century up to the fifth century. In the text the writer is stating that many details of Shakespeare’s personal life are so vague to us that it seems as if he had been born in Roman times. 5. People in every country r ead Shakespeare’s work with fear. Shakespeare was one of the literary geniuses of all times. His numerous tragedies and comedies as well as verses have won him worldwide fame. He is respected for his amazingly detailed knowledge of different subjects. People all over the world read his work with great admiration and profound respect, not fear. 6. Shakespeare’s Elizabethan English is not very difficult to people who understand modern English. This is not so. Elizabethan English belongs to the period of early modern English which is quite different from contemporary English and so it is difficult to understand. 7. It is a waste of time for tourists to go to Shakespeare’s birthplace. Since Shakespeare’s plays have won him great fame and since he was a literary genius rare in history, and he enjoyed such a fine reputation, it cannot be considered a waste of time to make the journey to Stratford to see his birthplace and his plays at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre because these have become things of historic interest.
