Unit 1 Task 1 【答案】 A. unusual, whatever, escape, traditions, present, grey, moulded, shape, here B. 1) Students were forbidden to play games, to sing (except sacred music), to hunt or fish or even to dance. 2) When people went anywhere on a visit, the pretty English girls all kissed them. 3) Erasmus, Bacon, Milton, Cromwell, and Newton (or Wordsworth, Byron, Tennyson, etc.) 【原文】 My coming to Cambridge has been an unusual experience. From whatever country one comes as a student one cannot escape the influence of the Cambridge traditions---and they go back so far! Here, perhaps, more than anywhere else, I have felt at one and the same time the past, the present and even the future. It’s easy to see in the old grey stone buildings how the past moulded the present and how the present is giving shape to the future. So let me tell you a little of what this university town looks like and how it came to be here at all. The story of the University began, so far as I know, in 1209 when several hundred students and scholars arrived in the little town of Cambridge after having walked 60 miles from Oxford. Of course there were no colleges in those early days and student life was very different from what it is now. Students were of all ages and came from anywhere and everywhere. They were armed; some even banded together to rob the people of the countryside. Gradually the idea of the college developed, and in 1284, Peterhouse, the oldest college in Cambridge, was founded. Life in college was strict; students were forbidden to play games, to sing (except sacred music), to hunt or fish or even to dance. Books were very scarce and all the lessons were in the Latin language which students were supposed to speak even among themselves. In 1440 King Henry VI founded King’s College, and the other colleges followed. Erasmus, the great Dutch scholar, was at one of these, Queens’ College, from 1511 to 1513, and though he wrote that the college beer was “weak and badly made”, he also mentioned a pleasant custom that unfor tunately seems to have ceased. “The English girls are extremely pretty,” Erasmus said, “soft, pleasant, gentle, and charming. When you go anywhere on a visit the girls all kiss you. They kiss you when you arrive. They kiss you when you go away and again when you return.” Many other great men studied at Cambridge, among them Bacon, Milton, Cromwell, Newton, Wordsworth, Byron and Tennyson. Task 2 【答案】 A. 1) a) 2) b) 3) a) 4) c) B. 1) They usually wear black gowns—long gowns that hang down to the feet are for graduates, and shorter ones for undergraduates. 2) Women students do not play a very active part in university life at Cambridge, but they work harder than men. C. 1) meadows, green, peaceful, bending into, intervals, deep coloured, reflection, contrasts, lawns 2) peace, scholarship, peace, suggest, stretches, charmingly cool, graceful 【原文】 Now let me give you some idea of what you would see if you were to talk around Cambridge. Let us imagine that I am seeing the sights for the first time. It is a quite market town and the shopping centre extends for quite a large area, but I notice more bookshops than one normally sees in country towns, and more tailors’ shops showing in their windows the black gowns that students must wear—long gowns that hang down to the feet for graduates and shorter

全新版大学英语3综合教程听力原文及答案第三册 Unit 1 Part B Text 1 Dating with My Mother (Part One) After 22 years of marriage, I have discovered the secret to keep love alive in my relationship with my wife, Peggy. I started dating with another woman. It was Peggy's idea. One day she said to me, 'Life is too short, you need to spend time with the people you love. You probably won't believe me, but I know you love her and I think that if the two of you spend more time together, it will make us closer.' The 'other' woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother, a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2,500 miles away to California and started my own life and career. When I moved back near my hometown six years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays. Mom was surprised and suspicious when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner and a movie. 'What's wrong' she asked. 'I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,' I said. 'Just the two of us.' 'I would like that a lot,' she said. When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. 'I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed. They can't wait to hear about our evening,' Mother said. Questions: 1. What would make the speaker closer to his wife, Peggy 2. What do you know about the speaker's mother 3. Which of the following adjectives best describes Peggy Text 2 Dating with My Mother (Part Two) We didn't go anywhere fancy, just a neighborhood place where we could talk. Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows, I had to read the menu for both of us. 'I used to be the reader when you were little,' she said. 'Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor,' I said. We had a nice talk over dinner, just catching up on each other's lives. We talked for so long that we missed the movie. 'I'll go out with you again,' my mother said as I dropped her off, 'but

Unit 1 University Life Taks 1 Script Okay, Okay, let's begin. Hello, everyone. My name's Susan Hudson, and I'll be your teacher for this class, Intercultural Communication. Uh, to begin with, please take a look at the syllabus in front of you. As you all should know by now, this class meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:15 to 4:50. We will be meeting in this room for the first half of the course, but we will be using the research lab every other week on Thursday in Room 405 during the last two months of the class. Uh, this is the text for the class, Beyond Language. Unfortunately, the books haven't come in yet, but I was told that you should be able to purchase them at the bookstore the day after tomorrow. Again, as you see on your course outline, grading is determined by your performance on a midterm and final test, periodic quizzes, uh, a research project, and classroom participation. My office hours are from 1:00 to 2:00 on Wednesdays, and you can set up an appointment to meet with me at other times as well. Key A. Answer the following questions. 1)What are the name of the teacher and the name of the course? Key: Susan Hudson and Intercultural Communication. 2)When and where will the class meet for the first half of the course Key: The class will meet in the room they are in now and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:15 to 4:50. 3)Where can the students get the textbooks? Key: They can purchase the textbooks at the bookstore the day after tomorrow. 4)When are the office hours? Key: The office hours are from 1:00 to 2:00 on Wednesdays. B. Complete the following sentences with what you hear on the tape.
Task 1 1) Man: I had the girls running in circles when I was in college、 Woman: I never knew you were the campus hero、 Man: I wasn't、I was the women's track coach、 2) Instructor: Mr、Jenkins, why are you late? Student: I guess because the class started before I got here、 3) Woman: Doctor, you have to e immediately—my baby swallowed some camera film! Doctor: Just calm yourself, nothing will develop、 4) Customer: Waiter, this water is cloudy、 Waiter: The water's okay, madam、It's just that the glass is a little dirty、 5) Woman: The bride wears white on her wedding day as a symbol of happiness, for this is the most joyous day in her entire life、 Man: Why does the groom wear black? Task 2 Catherine: I think firstly I find the French language, very melodic to listen to、It's very easy on the ear, and it almost sounds poetic、No matter what kind of mood the individual is in, who's talking, or what they're talking about, there seems to be a rhythm to the language、And it's rounded; there are no sharp, jagged edges to the language, so it's very pleasing to the ear、 Chris: I think the accent I really like is the Dane speaking English、They sound awful when they speak Danish, but when they speak English there's a beautiful, low, sensitive, very soft quality about it、 Donald: I like the way they bring their French pronunciation into English、They can't pronounce "h"s and they can't pronounce "th" properly、And I think that actually sounds very nice、Also I like the rhythm they bring French rhythms into English—nice, steady rhythms and I like that too、It's just it, it、、、whenever I hear a French person speaking English it sounds more gentle and more lyrical、 Lesley: I think the most attractive foreign accents for me are Mediterranean accents because they, if you like, import their own culture into the English accent and give it a lot of life that sometimes, that kind of—the gestures and everything that the English people don't have, so you get a beautiful mixture of the serious Northern European and the Southern European together、Susan: I like the Swedish accent because it, it makes me smile and the way it's spoken is so sing-songy that you can't help but smile when other people actually speak it、And it always makes you want to try and put the accent on yourself、 Task 3 The spelling and meaning of words are very interesting、But what's more interesting is the history of a word, or where it came from、Let's examine some of the words and see how they got into our language、 LUNCH Lunch perhaps es from an old Spanish word lonje, a slab of ham、We may also get our word from a form of lump, maybe a lump of bread, but whether lunch es from ham or bread, it meant a hunk of something to eat、 ATLAS An atlas is a strong man, and also a book of maps、The story of this word begins a long time ago in Greece、The ancient Greeks believed that their gods had once been a race of giants called Titans、The Titans fought with another group of gods called Olympians, and the Olympians won、Atlas was a Titan、He was punished for fighting by having to stand at the
