【Text】
I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year. If she comes, she will get a surprise. We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun before my sister left. The house was completed five months ago. In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us. The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in the district.
参考译文
昨天我收到了姐姐的一封信, 她住在尼日利亚. 在信中她说她明年将到英
国来. 如果她来了, 她会感到非常惊奇了. 我们现在住在乡间的一栋漂亮的新
住宅里. 这栋房子在我姐姐离开之前就已动工了, 是在5个月以前竣工的. 我在信中告诉她, 她可以和我们住在一起. 这栋房子里有许多房间, 还有一个漂亮的花园. 它是一栋非常现代化的住宅, 因此在有些人看来很古怪. 它肯定是这个地区唯一的一栋现代化住宅.
【课文讲解】
1. I had a letter from my sister yesterday.
have a letter from sb
receive a letter from sb
hear from sb

2、If she comes, she will get a surprise.
get a surprise 感到惊奇（这里surprise是可数名词，指“令人惊奇的事，意想不到的事”）
It’s a surprise to me that they can’t sell their flat.
surprise也可以作不可数名词，表示“惊讶”
She looked at the man in surprise.
to one's surprise = I get a shock. 吃了一惊
in surprise 吃惊的，在惊慌中
eg. He hid himself in surprise. 他惊慌地躲了起来。
be surprised at sth / doing sth 对…感到惊奇
eg. We were surprised at the fact. 我们对这个事实感到惊奇。
be surprised to do sth 对做某事感到惊讶
2、We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country.
a beautiful new house
离一个名词最近的词跟该词的关系最密切, 冠词肯定是放在最前面的
spare old cloth 不穿的旧衣服
a big red flag 大红旗
3、Work on it had begun before my sister left.
work（工作，作业）是抽象的不可数名词，“……的工作”后面必须用介词on
4、In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us.

it作为“虚主语”表示时间、距离、天气等概念时，不能用there be结构 It’s fifteen miles to the station.

词序是品质在尺寸,新旧,颜色之前. 房子首先是新的(new house),美丽的(beautiful)应该修饰new house. b. beautiful house new 语序不对，不合乎语法，形容词不应该放在它所修饰的名词后面； d. new house beautiful 语序不对，不合乎语法； c. beautiful new house(美丽的房子)最符合语法,词意思也最通顺,所以选c. 5. c 本句的主语是物the house, 而不是人，因此需要用被动语态。a. has completed 是主动语态完成式，不合乎语法；b. completed 是主动语态过去式，也不符合语法；d. has been completed 是被动语态，但时态不对，因为句子中已经有表示过去的时间状语five months ago,所以不应该用现在完成时，而应该是一般过去时；c. was completed 是被动语态过去式，最符合语法。 6. a 只有a. said to her 同前面句子中的told her意思相同，符合语法，是正确答案。 b. said her 不符合语法，her做间接宾语的时候前面应该有介词to; c. told to her 不符合语法，因为tell是及物动词； d. told不符合语法，缺少宾语。 7. d a. They have 因为前面句子中的主语是单数The house 因此应该用It has; b. They are (他们是)不合乎题目意思； c. There have 不合乎语法，表示某地“有”什么应该用there is/are; 只有d. There are 表示“有”，“存在”最符合题目意思。 8. d 只有选d. received 才能同前一句I had a letter yesterday 的意思吻合。a. sent(送，寄出)， b. took(拿，带走) 与 c. wrote(写) 这3个选择都不合乎题目意思。 9. b 这个句子是将来时，需要表示将来的时间状语，只有b. next 才是表示将来的时间。其他3

Lesson 23 A new house新居 Why is the new house special? I had a letter from my sister yesterday. She lives in Nigeria. In her letter, she said that she would come to England next year. If she comes, she will get a surprise. We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun before my sister left. The house was completed five months ago. In my letter, I told her that she could stay with us. The house has many large rooms and there is a lovely garden. It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people. It must be the only modern house in the district. 参考译文 昨天我收到了姐姐的一封信，她住在尼日利亚。在信中她说她明年将到英国来。如果她来了，她会感到非常惊奇了。我们现在住在乡间的一栋漂亮的新住宅里。这栋房子在我姐姐离开之前就已动工了，是在5个月以前竣工的。我在信中告诉她，她可以和我们住在一起。这栋房子里有许多房间，还有一个漂亮的花园。它是一栋非常现代化的住宅，因此在有些人看来很古怪。它肯定是这个地区唯一的一栋现代化住宅。 【New words and expressions】（4） complete adj./n. adj. （很少有比较级、最高级的变化） 1) 全部的，完备的 the complete works of Hemingway 海明威全集 a large house complete with swimming pool 一所设备齐全带有游泳池的大房子 2) 彻底的，完全的 a complete victory 完胜 a complete failure 彻底的失败 be complete完成/ be finished eg.

Lesson 24 If could be worse不幸中之万幸 Had the writer's money been stolen? I entered the hotel manager's office and sat down. I had just lost $50 and I felt very upset. 'I left the money in my room,' I said, 'and it's not there now.' The manager was sympathetic, but he could do nothing. 'Everyone's losing money these days,' he said. He started to complain about this wicked world but was interrupted by a knock at the door. A girl came in and put an envelope on his desk. It contained $50. 'I found this outside this gentleman's room,' she said.

新概念英语第二册课后题答案详解：Lesson23 新概念英语第二册课后习题Lesson23 1. a 根据课文第3-4行We are now living in a beautiful new house in the country. Work on it had begun before my sister left 能够判断只有a. When she sees the writer’s new house 符合课文的实际情况，其他3个选择都与课文不符。 2. a 根据课文第7-8行 It is a very modern house, so it looks strange to some people, 只有a. it is modern 与课文内容相符，其他3个选择都与课文实际内容不符。 3. a 这是一个条件句，if 从句应该用一般现在时，所以应该选a. comes, 其他3个选择都不是一般现在时，不符合语法。 4. c a. new beautiful house(新的,美丽的房子)虽然符合语法,但是词意思不够通顺.形容词的一般词序是品质在尺寸,新旧,颜色之前. 房子首先是新的(new house),美丽的(beautiful)应该修饰new house. b. beautiful house new 语序不对，不合乎语法，形容词不应该放在它所修饰的名词后面; d. new house beautiful 语序不对，不合乎语法; c. beautiful new house(美丽的房子)最符合语法,词意思也最通顺,所以选c. 5. c
本句的主语是物the house, 而不是人，所以需要用被动语态。 a. has completed 是主动语态完成式，不合乎语法;b. completed 是主 动语态过去式，也不符合语法;d. has been completed 是被动语态， 但时态不对，因为句子中已经有表示过去的时间状语five months ago,所以不应该用现在完成时，而应该是一般过去时;c. was completed 是被动语态过去式，最符合语法。 6. a 只有a. said to her 同前面句子中的told her意思相同，符合 语法，是准确答案。 b. said her 不符合语法，her做间接宾语的时候前面应该有介词to; c. told to her 不符合语法，因为tell是及物动词; d. told不符合语法，缺少宾语。 7. d a. They have 因为前面句子中的主语是单数The house 所以应该用It has; b. They are (他们是)不合乎题目意思; c. There have 不合乎语法，表示某地“有”什么应该用there is/are; 只有d. There are 表示“有”，“存有”最符合题目意思。 8. d 只有选d. received 才能同前一句I had a letter yesterday 的意思吻合。 a. sent(送，寄出)， b. took(拿，带走) 与c. wrote(写) 这3个选择都不合乎题目意思。
