Theme-based Reading Lecture 2 Homework keys

Main Ideas, Themes

1. d. The author stresses the convenience of fitness walking, by stating that it does not require

a commute to a health club. The paragraph also implies that fitness walking will result in a good workout. Choice a is incorrect because no comparison to weight lifting is made. Choice

b may seem like a logical answer, but the paragraph only refers to people who are fitness walkers, so for others, a health club might be a good investment. Choice

c is not in the passage. Although choice e seems logical, the paragraph does not indicate that the wrong shoes will produce major injuries.

2. b. The last sentence in the paragraph clearly supports the idea that the renewed interest in Shakespeare is due to the development of his characters. Choice a is incorrect because the writer never makes this type of comparison. Choice c is wrong, because even though scholars are mentioned in the paragraph, there is no indication that the scholars are compiling the anthology. Choice d is wrong because there is no support to show that most New Yorkers are interested in this work. There is no support for choice e either.

3. d. This answer is implied by the whole paragraph. The author stresses the need to read critically by performing operations on the text in a slow and specific manner. Choice a is incorrect because the author never says that reading is dull. Choices b, c, and e are not supported by the paragraph.

4. a.The support for this choice is in the second sentence, which states that in some countries, toxic insecticides are still legal. Choice b is incorrect because even though polar regions

are mentioned in the paragraph, there is no support for the idea that warmer regions are

not just as affected. There is no support for choice c. Choice d can be ruled out because there is nothing to indicate that DDT and toxaphene are the most toxic. Choice e is illogical.

5. a. The second and third sentence combine to give support to choice a.The statement stresses that there must be a judge’s approval (i.e., legal authorization) before a search can be conducted. Choices b and d are wrong because it is not enough for the police to have direct evidence or a reasonable belief—a judge must authorize the search for it to be legal. Choices

c an

d

e are not mentioned in the passage.

6. e. This answer is clearly stated in the last sentence of the paragraph. Choice a can be ruled out because there is no support to show that studying math is dangerous. Words are not mentioned in the passage, which rules out choice b. There is no support for choice c. Choice d is a contradiction to the information in the passage.

7. d. The last sentence states that new technologies are reported daily, and this implies that new technologies are being constantly developed. There is no support for choice a. With regard to choice b, stone tools were first used two and a half million years ago, but they were not necessarily in use all that time. Choice c is clearly wrong because the paragraph states when stone tools first came into use. Although some may agree that choice e is true, the author of the paragraph does not give support for this opinion.

8. d. Choices a and c are not supported by the paragraph. Choices b and e only tell us about particular parts of the paragraph and are too specific to be the main idea. Choice d, however, is general enough to encompass all the sentences and the paragraph as a whole. Every sentence supports the idea asserted in choice d.

9. d. Both sentences in the paragraph support this choice. Choices a and e are opinions and

are not in the paragraph. Choices b and c may be true, but they are also not supported by the paragraph.

10. c. The first sentence points out that it is not practical to use the first-person point of view in business correspondence. Choices a, b, and e are not in the paragraph. Choice d is in the paragraph and although it does tell us something about the first-person point of view, it is

too narrow to represent the main idea, which has to do with the first-person point of view as it is related to writing in a business environment.

Topic Sentences

11. d. The mention that searching for spices has changed the course of history, and that for spices, nations have . . . gone to war, implies that the subject of the paragraph is history. These phrases also connote danger and intrigue.

12. c. The mention of all the amazing things the brain is capable of is directly relevant to its being mysterious and complex. The other choices are less relevant.

13. b. Choice b addresses both of Gary’s vanities: his person and his situation. Choice a deals only with one of Gary’s physical characteristics. Choice c deals only with his vanity of position. Choice d is not supported in the passage.

14. a. This choice refers both to age and complexity; b and c refer only to complexity. Answer d is less relevant to the topic sentence (which doesn’t mention Darwin or theories) than the other choices.

15. b. This choice is the only one that supports and develops the topic sentence. The other choices all say something about cosmetic plastic surgery, but they do not support the topic sentence, which states that cosmetic plastic surgery is one of the fastest-growing segments

of U.S. medicine.

16. c. The topic sentence speaks of the big-bang theory being much misunderstood, and c addresses this, whereas the other choices do not.

17. d. Only this choice deals with learning how to accept oneself and then relates it to another person. Choices a and c are both irrelevant to the topic sentence. Choice b states the exact opposite of the topic sentence.

18. c. Choice c is the only entry that presents the similar traits of both the hero and the superstar. Choice a only defines a superstar. Choice b defines the hero. Choice d introduces irrelevant material—the sports arena,with no mention of the superstar.

19. a. This choice is a comparison between man and bird.Neither one needs instruction to do what is important to its life. Choices b, c, and d do not support this topic sentence.

20. b. This choice is the only one that talks about how parents make a difference in their children’s academic success. The other choices don’t mention parents at all.

21. c. The main idea is that the United States limits immigration numbers. Choices a,b, and d show the effects and statistics that result from this action but do not support the topic sentence.

22. d. The topic sentence refers to punishment used in early America. Choice a gives a reason for the use of punishment in early America. Choices b and c state why we don’t have such punishment today and compares historical punishment with today’s sensibility.

23. d.Choice d gives us a reason why more people are eating organic, so it supports the

statement made in the topic sentence. Choices a and b are about organic products, but they don’t provide logical reasons for the increasing popularity of organic foods. Choice c is about another topic completely.

24. c. This choice introduces the idea that some laws are strange. Choices a,b, and d are examples of strange laws.

25. a. This topic sentence states the importance of a cat’s whiskers. Choices b, c, and d give other details that do not directly support the topic sentence.

26. c. This choice states the popularity of the game. Choices a and b state the game’s origin. Choice d explains how its popularity spread.

27. c. This sentence gives a reason for longevity that was introduced in the topic sentence.Choices a, b, and d are about longevity but do not give any reasons.

28. a. Choice a pronounces an end to 16 years of violence. Choice b, c and d are facts about James’s life.

29. c.Great wealth is not an indicator of honor. Each of the other choices describes the honor that is received.Choice a says, greatly respected, choice b—a revered poet, and choice d—long-lasting reputation.

30. b. The topic sentence presents the idea that all the men are connected by whale lines, each man relies on the others for his safety. Choice a states this idea explicitly: Each man “had to depend on the others to stay alive.” Choice c presents the idea as metaphorical, each man is connected to the next. Choice d offers an example of how a man can be thrown overboard and must rely on his crew to cut their whale loose and come back and get him. Only choice

b does not make any connection to the men.

Short Passages

131. a. Choice d may seem attractive at first, but the passage simply says that the local media does not adequately cover local politics—it doesn’t discuss the reason for their neglect. 132. c. Sentence 3 indicates the importance of organization and design. The other choices, even if true, are not in the passage.

133. b. Both sentences in this passage support the idea that the emphasis on the

low-carb/low-fat debate is misleading and might distract us from other important ideas.The other choices are not supported by or developed in this passage.

134. b. The other choices are wrong because the passage is not concerned with how sanitation workers should deal with sharp objects but with how everyone should dispose of sharp objects in order to avoid hurting sanitation workers.

135. d. See the second sentence of the passage. Choices a and b are not in the passage. Choice c might seem attractive, but the passage does not say that mediation is the best way to resolve a conflict, simply that it is an alternative way that might prove effective.

136. c. See the final sentence of the passage. The other choices might be true but are not in the passage.

137. a. The second sentence speaks of the greater productivity of telecommuters. The other choices may seem attractive on the surface because they contain words and phrases from the passage, but a closer look will show them to be incorrect or absent from the passage.

138. d. The first sentence indicates that sushi was once available only in a handful of eating establishments.

139. c.Choice b may seem attractive at first, but the passage doesn’t offer the opinion that the purpose of the shopping mall is important, it simply tells us what the purposes are.

140. d. The directions mention nothing about fertilization.

141. c. The third sentence specifically mentions that the pointed side goes up and the root side faces down. This means that there is an up side and a down side and that it is possible for the bulb to be put into the soil upside down if someone didn’t know better. The other choices may be true but are not mentioned in the passage.

142. c. The directions indicate that the city prefers, but does not require, use of its new container, and that the customers may use more than one container if they purchase an additional one.

143. b. The directions state use of the new containers will expedite pick-up of recyclables.This indicates that the new containers will make the recycling

program more efficient.

144. b. See the second and third sentences for the steps in making ratatouille. Only choice b reflects the correct order.

145. d. The main part of the passage describes how to cook vegetables. Only choice d indicates that vegetables are included in the dish. The other choices are not reflected in the passage.

146. d. See the final sentence of the passage.

147. c. See the second sentence,which defines ksa. The other choices are refuted in the passage.

148. d. This answer is implied by the statement that redistribution is needed so that people in emerging nations can have proper medical care. Choices a, b, and c are not mentioned in

the passage.

149. c. This choice is the best answer because the paragraph indicates that the new knitters are of varying ages and are not just women. Choices a and b may be true, but they are not supported by the paragraph. Choice d is a prediction that is not made in the paragraph. 150. d. The paragraph specifically states that age makes a person less able to respond to long exposure to very hot or very cold temperatures. This would mean that older people are more susceptible to hypothermia. Choices a, b, and c are not supported by the information given in the paragraph.

151. c. The third sentence is the main idea. It is a general idea that answers the only question posed in the passage. The other choices are not in the passage.

152. d. The passage states that health clubs have undergone a major transformation due to people’s interest in taking care of their minds, bodies, and spirits. Choice a is incorrect because the paragraph doesn’t say exercise is less important. It simply says the focus and type of exercise have changed. Choices b and c are not supported by the paragraph.

153. c.This choice is closely related to all three sentences of the passage. Choice a is contradicted in the passage. Choices b and d are not in the passage.

154. a. The entire passage relates to this idea. The other ideas are not reflected in the passage. 155. a. This is the main idea of the passage because all the sentences relate to it. The other choices may be true but are not reflected in the passage.

PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY 地理之谜 人们也许觉得奇怪，为什么用来描述英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰这四个国家的词语不太一样。但如果你学过英国历史，就能弄清楚这个问题。 首先是英格兰。威尔士于13世纪同英格兰联合了起来。如今只要有人提起英格兰，你就会发现威尔士总是包括在内的。接着，英格兰、威尔士同苏格兰于17世纪联合了起来，名字就改成了“大不列颠”。令人庆幸的是，当苏格兰的詹姆斯国王成为英格兰和威尔士的国王时，这三个国家和平地实现了联合。最后，英国政府打算于20世纪初把爱尔兰也同另外三个国家和平联合起来以形成联合王国。然而，爱尔兰的南部却不愿组建联合王国，它分离出去，并建立了自己的政府。因此只有北爱尔兰同英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰联合起来，而组成了联合王国，这一点从新的联合王国国旗上就可以看得出来。 值得赞扬的是，这四个国家的确在一些方面共同合作，例如在货币和国际关系方面;但是有些制度仍然区别很大。例如，北爱尔兰、英格兰和苏格兰在教育体制和立法体制上都存在着差异。在参加像世界杯之类的比赛时，它们有着各自的足球队。在这四个国家中，英格兰是最大的。为了方便起见，它大致可以划分为三个地区。最靠近法国的那个地区叫做英格兰南部，中部地区叫做英格兰中部，最靠近苏格兰的那个地区叫做英格兰北部。你可以看到英国的大部分人口聚居在南部，而多数大工业城市都位于中部和北部。尽管，英国任何一个城市都不像中国的城市那样大，但是他们都有着自己的享有威名的足球队，有的城市甚至还有两个队。很遗憾，这些建于19世纪的工业城市对游客并没有吸引力。要找历史性建筑你得去更古老的、比较小些的由古罗马人建造的城镇。在那儿你才可能找到更多的有关英国历史和文化的东西。 最具历史意义的宝地是伦敦。那儿有博物馆，有艺术珍品、剧院、公园和各种建筑物。它是全国的政治中心。它有公元一世纪由罗马人建造的最古老的港口，有由盎格鲁——撒

Unit 2 A FEW SIMPLE FORMS OF ENGLISH POEMS 简体英文诗 There are various reasons why people write poetry. 人们写诗有着各种各样的理由。Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way that will give the reader a strong impression. 有些诗是为了叙事，或者说是描述某件事并给读者以强烈的印象。Others try to convey certain emotions. 而有些诗则是为了传达某种感情。Poets use many different forms of poetry to express themselves. 诗人用许多不同风格的诗来表达自己的情感。In this text, however, we will look at a few of the simpler forms. 本文只谈了几种格式比较简单的诗。 Some of the first poetry a young child learns in English is nursery rhymes. 孩子们最早学习的英文诗是童谣。These rhymes like the one on the right (A) are still a common type of children's poetry. 像右边的这首童谣（A）至今仍然是常见的。The language is concrete but imaginative, and they delight small children because they rhyme, have strong rhythm and a lot of repetition. 童谣的语言具体但富有想象力，这使得小孩子们快乐，因为它们押韵，节奏感强，并较多重复。The poems may not make sense and even seem contradictory, but they are easy to learn and recite. 童谣不一定有什么意义，甚至有的看来自相矛盾，但是它们容易学，也容易背诵。By playing with the words in nursery rhymes, children learn about language. 通过童谣中的文字游戏，孩子们学习了语言。 （A） Hush, little baby, don't say a word,小宝宝，别说话， Papa's going to buy you a mockingbird.爸爸给你买个小嘲鸟。 If that mockingbird won't sing,小嘲鸟，不会唱， Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring.爸爸给你买个钻石戒。 If that diamond ring turns to brass,钻石戒，变成铜， Papa's going to buy you a looking-glass.爸爸给你买个小镜子。 If that looking-glass gets broke,小镜子，打破了， Papa's going to buy you a billy-goat.爸爸给你买个小山羊。 If that billy-goat runs away,小山羊，跑掉了。 Papa's going to buy you another today.爸爸今天再去给你买一只。 One of the simplest kinds of poems are those like B and C that list things.像（B）和（C）这样的列举事物的清单诗是诗歌中最简单的一种。List poems have a flexible line length and repeated phrases which give both a pattern and a rhythm to the poem.清单诗可长可短，可以重复一些短语，较为灵活。形成固定句型和诗的节奏。Some rhyme (like B) while others do not (like C).有些清单诗有韵脚（如B）,但有一些没有（如C）。 （B） I saw a fish- pond all on fire我看到鱼塘在燃烧 I saw a fish-pond all on fire,我看到鱼塘在燃烧， I saw a house bow to a squire,我看到房子向地主哈腰， I saw a person twelve-feet high,我看到人高一丈八， I saw a cottage in the sky,我看到茅屋在天郊。 I saw a balloon made of lead,我看到气球用铅做， I saw a coffin drop down dead,我看到棺材把死人抛。

新人教版高中英语课文译文 第一单元文物 Reading 寻找琥珀屋 普鲁士国王威廉一世绝不可能想到他送给俄罗斯人民的厚礼会有这样一段令人惊讶的历史。这件礼物就是琥珀屋，它之所以有这个名字，是因为造这间房子用了好几吨的琥珀。选出来的琥珀色彩艳丽，呈现蜂蜜一样的黄褐色。琥珀屋的设计采用了当时流行的别致的建筑式样。它也是用金银珠宝装饰起来的珍品，一批国家最优秀的艺术家用了大约十年的时间才把它完成。 事实上，这个琥珀屋并不是作为礼物来建造的。它是为腓特烈一世的宫殿而设计（制作）的。然而，下一位普鲁士国王，腓特烈·威廉一世，这个琥珀屋的主人却决定不要它了。在1716年，他把琥珀屋送给了彼得大帝。作为回赠，沙皇送给他一队自己最好的士兵。这样，琥珀屋就成了沙皇在圣彼得堡冬宫的一部分。这间琥珀屋长约四米，被用作接待重要来宾的小型会客室。 后来，叶卡捷琳娜二世派人把琥珀屋搬到圣彼得堡郊外她避暑的宫殿中。她叫她的工匠在原来设计的基础上增添了更多精细的装饰。1770年，这间琥珀屋按照她的要求完成了。将近600支蜡烛照亮了这个房间，里面的镜子和图画就像金子一样闪闪发光。可悲的是，尽管琥珀屋被认为是世界上的一大奇迹之一，可是现在它却消失了。 1941年9月，纳粹德国的军队逼近圣彼得堡。这是在两国交战的时期。在纳粹分子到达夏宫之前，俄罗斯人只能把琥珀屋里的一些家具和小件艺术饰品搬走。可是琥珀屋本身却被一些纳粹分子偷偷地运走了。在不到两天的时间里，10万个部件装进了27个木箱。毫无疑问，这些箱子后来被装上火车运往哥尼斯堡，当时德国在波罗的海边的一个城市。从那以后，琥珀屋的去处便成了一个谜。 近来，俄罗斯人和德国人已经在夏宫建起了一个新的琥珀屋。通过研究琥珀屋原来的照片，他们建造的新琥珀屋样子和旧的看起来非常像。2003年圣彼得堡人民就用它来庆祝该市建成300周年。 Using Language 事实还是看法？
