Unlike adj. 不同的，不相似的； prep.不像和不同
Where 关系副词，引导非限制性定语从句，修饰表示地点的名词，此句中修饰school 3You are no longer a passive learner who just sits and listens to a teacher.
Who 关系代词，引导定语从句，修饰learner。
4 You are expected to figure out on your own what is important.
Expect sb. to do 期望某人做某事。如：The manager expected his men to do their duty. What 连接代词，引导宾语从句. 如： He doesn’tknow what he should say to his parents.
5 In college your professors are expecting you to voice your thoughts.
Voice 在此句中做动词，表示“表达，吐露”。如 The speaker voiced the feelings of the audience. 演讲者表达了观众的感受。 Voice 还可做名词，表示“说话声，嗓音”。
6 This balance is something that most likely your parents helped you with in high school.
That 关系代词，引导定语从句，修饰something。当先行词为不定代词时，需用that 引导定语从句。
近义词辨析： likely, possible, probable 意思都含“可能的”
Likely为常用词，指“从表面迹象来看很有可能”，主语可以是人、物或事情。如：
The likely outcome of the contest varies from moment to moment.比赛结果可能每分钟都在变化。
Possible 指“由于有适当的条件和方法，某事可能发生或做到” ，强调“客观上有可能” ，但常含有“实际希望很小”的意思，一般不用人做主语，通常用于It is possible to do It is possible that句型中，如： It is possible to go to the moon now. 现在有可能登上月球。Probable 语气比 possible 强，指“有根据，合情理，值得相信的事物，带有“大概” 、“很
可能”的意思。如： I don’tthink the story is probable. 我觉得那个故事不大可能。
7 Now that you are in college, you can no longer rely on your parents for structure, rules,
or academic motivation.
Now that 连词，“既然”，引导状语从句。如：Now(that) he admits his mistake, don’tblame him any more.既然他已经承认错误了，就不要再责备他了。
8While it is good to explore new surroundings and take advantage of social opportunities,
it is important that you cut out time to focus on your studies.
While 连词，可引导时间状语从句（“当 ....的时候”）和让步状语从句（“虽然”）。此句中属后者。如： While I understand what the picture means, I can’tput it in words. 虽然我理解这幅画的含义，但我表达不出来。
That 连接代词，引导主语从句。
It 为形式主语。在It is important/necessary...that...从句中一般用虚拟语气，即谓语动词用
（s hould)+do 形式。如： It is necessary that you should enlarge your vocabulary.你应该扩大
词汇量。
9Unless you are coming from a boarding school, you most likely will need to adapt to
life with roommates.
Unless 连词，“如果不，除非” 引导条件状语从句，如：I will go to the picnic with you unless it rains.如果不下雨，我会和你去野餐。
10 A roommate can keep you company and will help you adapt to college life soon because you are adapting together.
Company 一般意为“公司”如：His brother also works in this shipping company.他的哥哥也在这家运输公司工作。此句中意思为“陪伴”，如 He stayed at home to keep his wife company.他呆在家里陪着他的妻子。

形容词是用来修饰或限定名词或代词的词，它可以用来描述人或事物的性质、状态和特
征。在句中可以作定语、标语和补语
eg: He is such an honest person that we all trust him他.很诚实，我们大家都信任他(作定语 ) The evidence proved him innocent 证据证明他是无辜的 (作补语 )
位置：
一形容词前置：形容词通常位于被修饰词之前

二形容词后置：
1）当形容词修饰由 some, any, every, no等词构成的不定代词
Anyone responsible can be in charge of this
project.任何有责任感的人都能负责这个项目
2）当充当定语的是形容词短语时
The are looking for employees good at computer.他们正在招聘擅长计算机的员工
3）当形容词与表示度量的词或词组连用时
如： ten meters long, two years old, ten feet deep
三多个形容词前置作定语时的排列顺序
多个形容词修饰名词时，其顺序为：限定词—数词—描绘词—（短语在前长词在后）—表
特征的形容词（大小、长短、形状、新旧、颜色）—出处—表类属的形容词（专有形容词，
表材料质地的形容词）如：

一）副词的用法
副词是一种用来修饰动词、形容词、副词或全句的词，说明时间、地点、程度、方式等概
念。副词在句中主要充当状语，有时也可以用作表语和补语，
如：
Nobody was home yesterday昨.天家里没有人 (表语 )
I want to ask you out tonight. 我今晚想约你出去 (补语 )
二）副词的位置
副词在句中的位置比较灵活，现归纳几种常用的情况如下：

词也可以放在动词与宾语之间）如： You should do your homework carefully. 你应该认真做
作业。

Many/much more most
little less least
far Further/farther Furthest/farthest
（二）比较级的用法
1 同级比较： as + adj./adv. +as, not so+adj./adv.+ as常(用于否定句中 ) 表示：“ ..
和 ..一样 ..”, 如 This room is as big as that one这.个房间和那个房间一样大。
当有表示倍数的词修饰时，倍数词位于同级比较构之前，具体句型可以总结为：
A is n times as great(long )as B. A 是
B 的 n 倍，或 A 比 B 大 n-1 倍。
2 比较级： adj./adv.的比较级形式 +than,如： He studies harder than I(do). 他学习比我用功。比较级前可用 much, a lot, far, a little 等表示程度的词以及由“数词+名词”构成的名词短语来修饰，如： My sister is three years younger than I我.妹妹比我小三岁。
表示倍数的词修饰比较级时，倍数词同样位于比较结构之前，具体句型可以总结为：

A 比
B 大（长，多，） n 倍。或是 A 是 B 的 n+1 倍。
比较级的常用结构
1）“比较级 +and+比较级”表示“越来越”如：
People’ s life is becoming better than better人.们的生活变得越来越好。
2)“ the+比较级 , the +比较级”表示“越就越”如：
the more haste, the less speed欲.速则不达。

Answers of Activity: B A C C A B D A C B
Step III Translation
Translation of Words with Multiple meanings
英语中存在很多一词多类，一词多义的现象。所谓“一词多类”就是指一个词具有一个以
上词类，并且意思可能各不相同；“一词多义”是指一个词在同一个词类中具有一个以
上的词义。在英汉翻译过程中，为了准确地翻译原文，明确词的含义是至关重要的。因此，我们必须根据具体词语在句中的词类、搭配关系及上下文来选择和确定原句中关键词的词义。词义的选择可以从以下两个方面来确定：
一根据剧中的词类来确定词义
Have you sensed the difference between high school and college?
很容易判断出 sense是动词而不是名词，应该翻译成“感觉到，意识到”，因此全句可以翻
译为：你感觉到高中和大学的不同了吗？：
In college your professors are expecting you tovoice your thoughts.
这个句子 voice 也用作动词而不是名词，所以应该翻译为“表达，说出”，因此全句可以翻译为：“在大学里，老师们要求你能够说出自己的想法”。
In daily activities, we should have a strongsenseof time.在日常生活中，我们应该有很强的时间观念。
The young singer is famous for her beautifulvoice.这位年轻的歌手以她甜美的声音而闻名。二根据词的搭配关系及上下文来选择和确定词义
While it is good to explore new surroundings and take advantage of social opportunities, it is important that you cut out time to focus on your studies.
While有很多词义，如“当时候” ，“而”，“虽然”。根据上下文可以判断出，在本句中的 while 表示“虽然”
While I was doing my homework, my mother was cooking in the kitchen.当我在做作业的时候，我妈妈正在厨房里做饭
In our country people drive on the right; while in Britain they drive on the left. 在我国人们靠右行驶，而在英国人们靠左行驶。
While my parents love me, they are strict with me as well. 虽然我的父母很爱我，但他们对我也很严格。

This is at least partly due to what is known as language interference, meaning that the linguistic patterns of our first language interfere with those of the second because no two languages have exactly the same sounds and grammatical structures. The English language has a very large vocabulary because it has incorporated words from many other languages over the centuries. This is nowhere more apparent than in its color words. For example, there are many words that express the color “purple”, describing its different shades and hues: mauve, violet, lilac, or lavender. An interesting linguistic gender difference among native speakers of English is the likelihood of women using these color terms to differentiate between shades of purple, whereas, men will be satisfied with the one word “purple”. This is true of other color words too.
Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室，大步走了进去。然而，进了教室，我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢？犹豫再三，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课，”教授开始上课。天哪，我还以为这里是文学课呢！我的脖子后面直冒冷汗，摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室，却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办？上课途中就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿，便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了，我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里，我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是，食堂里所有的学生都站了起来，鼓掌欢呼，我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景，而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里，我独自品尝羞辱，用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天，我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候，我对他满怀同情。他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂，可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻，我意识到我把自己看得太重了。

Unit 1 Personal Relationship In-Class Reading The Gift of Life 以生命相赠 1 炸弹落在了这个小村庄里。在可怕的越南战争期间，谁也不知道这些炸弹要轰炸什么目标，而它们却落在了一所由传教士办的小孤儿院内。 2 传教士和一两个孩子已经丧生，还有几个孩子受了伤，其中有一个小女孩，8岁左右，双腿被炸伤了。 3 几小时后，医疗救援小组到了。医疗小组由一名年轻的美国海军医生和一名同样年轻的海军护士组成。他们很快发现有个小女孩伤势严重。显然，如果不立即采取行动，她就会因失血过多和休克而死亡。 4 他们明白必须给小女孩输血，但是他们的医药用品很有限，没有血浆，因此需要匹配的血型。快速的血型测定显示两名美国人的血型都不合适。而几个没有受伤的孤儿却有匹配的血型。 5 医生会讲一点越南语，护士会讲一点法语，但只有中学的法语水平。孩子们不会说英语，只会说一点法语。医生和护士用少得可怜的一点共同语言，结合大量的手势，努力向这些受惊吓的孩子们解释说，除非他们能输一些血给自己的小伙伴，否则她将必死无疑。然后他们问孩子们是否有人愿意献血来救小女孩。 6 对医生和护士的请求，孩子们瞪大眼睛，一声不吭。此时小病人生命垂危。然而，只有这些受惊吓的孩子中有人自愿献血，他们才能够得到血。过了好一会儿，一只小手慢慢地举了起来，然后垂了下去，一会儿又举了起来。 7 “噢，谢谢，”护士用法语说。“你叫什么名字？” 8 “兴，”小男孩回答道。 9 兴很快被抱到一张床上，手臂用酒精消毒后，针就扎了进去。在整个过程中，兴僵直地躺着，没有出声。 10 过了一会儿，他发出了一声长长的抽泣，但立即用那只可以活动的手捂住了自己的脸。 11 “兴，疼吗？”医生问。 12 兴默默地摇了摇头，但一会儿忍不住又抽泣起来，并又一次试图掩饰自己的哭声。医生又问是不是插在手臂上的针弄疼了他，兴还是摇了摇头。 13 但现在，偶尔的抽泣变成了持续无声的哭泣。他紧紧地闭着眼睛，用拳头堵住嘴，想竭力忍住哭泣。 14 医疗小组此时非常担忧，因为针不会使他们的小输血者一直感到疼痛。一定是哪里出了问题。恰好这时，一名越南护士前来帮忙。看到小男孩在哭，她用越南话很快地问他原因。听了小男孩的回答后，又立即作了回答。护士一边说，一边俯身轻轻拍着小男孩的头，她的声音亲切柔和。 15 一会儿，小男孩不再哭了，他睁开眼睛，用质疑的目光看着越南护士。护士点了点头，小男孩的脸上马上露出了宽慰的神色。 16 越南护士抬起头平静地对两名美国人说: “他以为自己快死了。他误解了你们。以为你们要他献出所有的血，小女孩才能活下来。” 17 “那他为什么还愿意这么做呢?”海军护士问。 18 越南护士把这个问题向小男孩重复了一遍。小男孩简单地回答道: “她是我的朋友。” 19 他为了朋友甘愿献出自己的生命，没有比这更伟大的爱了。

Most people, however, seek ways to socialize, to relax or to have fun during their leisure hours. Obviously people's tastes vary depending on their income and their age. But in recent years, the home entertainment, industry has grown all over the world. Instead of going out to see a movie or taking a walk in a park, people of all ages prefer to turn on the television and stay at home. More and more families have tape recorders, CD players, VCRs and VCDs to add to the variety of leisure activities in the home. In some countries, young people spend hours sitting in front of their computers, surfing on the Internet or playing computer games. Despite the rise in home entertainment, there are still many people who enjoy spending some of their leisure time attending sports events or participating in competitive sports or other physical activities such as dancing and tai chi (shadow boxing). Exercise not only contributes to good health but also takes the mind away from worries and troubles. Concerts, plays and other performances constitute another source of entertainment outside

Unit 1 Personality In-Class Reading 羞怯的痛苦 1 对许多人来说，羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。各种各样的人——矮的、高的、愚笨的、聪明的、年轻的、年老的、瘦的、胖的——都说自己是羞怯的。羞怯的人会焦虑不安，感到不自然；也就是说，他们过分地关注自己的外表和举止。脑海中不断盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法：我给人留下的是什么印象？他们喜欢我吗？我讲话是不是傻里傻气？我长得难看。我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。 2 很显然这种不安的感觉会对人产生不利的影响。一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中，而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。通常，人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。例如，具有积极的自我价值观或很强自尊心的人往往表现出自信。而由于自信，他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励，也能使自己感觉良好。自信者热情、自发地投入生活。他们不因别人认为他们“该”做什么而受到影
响。有很强自尊心的人不会被批评所伤害；他们不会把批评看作是人身攻击。相反，他们认为批评是一种提醒他们改进的建议。 3 相比之下，羞怯的人自尊心较弱，往往消极被动并且容易受他人影响。他们（是否）在做“该做的事情”需要得到别人的肯定。害羞的人对批评非常敏感；他们觉得批评正好证实了他们比别人差。他们也很难因别人的赞美而高兴，因为他们相信自己不值得称赞。羞怯的人也许会用这样的话来回答别人的赞美之辞：“你这么说只是为了让我感觉好一些。我知道这不是真的。”显然，尽管自我意识是一种健康的品质，过分的自我意识却是不利和有害的。 4能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢？幸运的是，人们能够通过坚持不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的，因此正视自己的弱点和正视自己的优点一样重要。例如，大多数人希望每门功课都得A。 5 如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难，就把自己列为差生，这不恰如其分。人们对自己的期望必须现实。老是想那些不可能的事情会令自己觉得无

Unit 6 A World of Mystery In-Class Reading The Bermuda Triangle 百慕大三角 1 1945年12月5日，佛罗里达州的劳德代尔堡，天气晴朗，由五架美国海军飞机组成的第19飞行分队从这里起飞。机上共有14名机组人员。飞机状况良好；机上装有当时最好的设备， 包括罗盘和无线电设备，还携带有救生筏。飞机可以在水上漂浮90秒钟。飞机起飞一个半小时后，劳德代尔堡的指挥塔台听到了从其中一架飞机传来的无线电信息。 2 “我不知道我们现在所处的位置。” 3 之后飞机再也无法和指挥塔台通话，但是飞机之间可以通话，而且指挥塔台也能听到他们 的通话。 4 “磁罗盘简直疯了。” 5 “我们完全迷失了方向。” 6 从这之后没有收到其他任何信息。再也没有其他任何人收到过这些飞机的消息或看到过它 们。300架飞机和许多船只搜索了该地区，但没有找到第19飞行分队的任何踪迹。而且其中 一架被派去搜寻的飞机也彻底失踪了。 7 这些飞机是在西大西洋上一个非常神秘的地方失踪的，在这里已经发生了许多奇怪的事 件。这种神秘现象在1945年之前很久就已经出现了，而且自那一年以来，又有许多其他船只和飞机在这一地区失踪。这一地区被称为百慕大三角，是大西洋上一个巨大的三角形海域， 其北端是百慕大岛。 8 飞机和船只在世界的其他地方也会失踪，但是百慕大三角发生的失踪事件要比其他地区 多。多年来科学家们和其他人士对这一神秘现象感到困惑不解。人们做了许多努力，试图解释为什么有这么多的人、飞机和船只在这里失踪。 9 作家约翰·斯宾塞认为，这些船只和飞机被来自另一行星上的飞碟或不明飞行物从海上和 空中劫走了。他的看法是，既然宇宙里有数百万其他行星，那么在宇宙中的某些地方肯定存 在其他有智慧的生物。这些生物喜欢收集人类及其设备，以便仔细观察研究。 10 另一种理论认为，该地区的地理状况是造成船只和飞机失踪的罪魁祸首。百慕大位于地 震带。水下地震导致巨浪突然涌现。这些波浪如此巨大，足以将船只撕成碎片。在空中，由 于突然出现的强风，飞机也会遭遇到类似的厄运。 11 和第19飞行分队一样，许多船只和飞机也曾报告说, 他们的磁罗盘在百慕大三角海域失灵。通常磁罗盘指向磁北极。但是在地球上有两个地方罗盘刚好指向真北，百慕大三角就是其中之一。因此，这一地区的磁性有些怪异。 12 许多人认为这些解释难以置信。而最新的一种理论具有科学根据，因而比较可信。百慕 大海底甲烷的发现促使科学家麦克维尔博士思考如何解释这些神秘现象。（他认为）有时大量甲烷气体会从海底逸出，升入空中。这可能在海面产生巨浪从而使船只沉没。甲烷和空气混合还可能引起船上发动机停转或者起火。同样，甲烷与空气的混合物升入空中会引起飞机 发动机停转或爆炸。而爆炸会把船只或飞机炸成极小的碎片。 13 这一最新理论仍有待证实，但它似乎给第19飞行分队以及所有其他的飞机、船只和人员 为什么会在百幕大三角失踪提供了一种更好的解释。
