、
Because he is
tired of listening to his father and he is not
interested in grammar rules.
2
、
The
civilization
of
Greece
and
the
glory
of
Roman
architecture
are
so
marvelous
and
remarkable that they should be
described at least in a brief account; however,
what the student
could do was only one
single utterance :
“
whoa!
”
without any any
specific comment.
3
、
Because the
schools fail to set high standards of language
proficiency. They only teach a little
grammar
and
less
advanced
vocabulary.
And
the
younger
teachers
themselves
have
little
knowledge of the vital structures of
language.
4
、
Because
teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of
the students will easily get bored if
it
’
s not properly
dealt with.
5
、
He
familiarized his son with different parts of
speech in a sentence and discussed their specific
grammatical functions including how to
use adverbs to describe verbs.
6
、
Because
the
son
had
never
heard
about
the
various
names
and
functions
of
words
in
an
English sentence before.
7
、
The author uses
“
road
map
”
and
“
< br>car
”
to describe grammar
and vocabulary. Here,
“
road
map
”
is considered
as grammar and
“
car
”
as vocabulary.
8
、
Since
the
subjunctive
mood
his
son
used
is
a
fairly
advanced
grammar
structure,
the
interjection
“
whoa!
”
reflects
the tremendous pride the father had toward his
son; it also reflects
the
author
’
s humor in using the
word because it was once used by his student,
though in two
different situations and
with two different feelings.

Structured

Some
bookworms
in
my
dormitory
often
spend
hours
reading
their
“Bible”,
Practical
English
Grammar, and do a
lot of exercises in that book , but I don’t care
about it at all. My assumption is
since
I have never learned Chinese grammar,
w
hat’s the sense of learning English
grammar? In
fact, English grammar has
always been a big headache to me.
English grammar is very complicated
because, unlike Chinese, there are many verb
tenses. Even
stranger than verb tenses,
English grammar also contains something very
confusing. For example,
I
don’t
remember
how
many
times
my
middle
school
teacher
tried
to“impose”the
differences
between used to and be used to on us.
Sometimes he would go on with the explanation for
20
minutes
or
so.
He
even
summarized
the
differences
by
listing
three
or
four
points
for
us
to
memorize.
However, they could never stay in my head . I
don’t remember how many times I got it
wrong with the sentences containing
used to or be used to on my exams . I was really
confused
with these two phrases,and I
can never get them right.
In brief, I’m
allergic to learning English grammar. Curiously, I
just wonder if the native speakers of
English have a microcomputer in their
brain to help them utter the two phrases promptly
with
just a click of their brain mouse!

Ex.10
C-E Translation
Chinese
calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art
treasure in the world. The formation and
development
of
the
Chinese
calligraphy
is
closely
related
to
the
emergence
and
evolution
of
Chinese characters. In this long
evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not
only played an
important role in
exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also
developed into a unique art
form.
Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers’
personal feeling
s, knowledge, self-
cultivation,
personality, and so forth,
thus there is an expression that “seeing the
calligrapher’s handwriting is
like
seeing
the
person”.
As
one
of
the
treasures
of
Chinese
culture,
Chinese
calligraphy
shines
splendidly in the world’s
treasure house of culture and art.

Reading
Comprehension
1.
because
English or history majors are considered less
competitive when the job market is
shrinking, and they have to study
something that can help them more easily locate
their future
jobs.
2.
because
as
the
tuition
is
climbing
higher
and
higher,
many
students
have
run
away
from
studying the humanities and toward
“hard” skills that they think will lead to
employment.
3.
since more students are now taking job-
oriented courses, libraries, where students of
liberal
arts
used
to
study,
are
getting
less
popular
than
before;
in
contrast,
labs
are
getting
more
eye-catching because students of
science and engineering do experiments and
research there.
4.
because
this inner drive that can be either constructive
or destructive is so mysterious and
powerful that it has attracted many
people to speculate on it. From ancient times,
these men and
women developed artistic
“languages” in the fo
rm of story,
music, myth, painting, architecture,
sculpture, landscape and traditions,
which from the very foundation of civilization.
5.
Studying the humanities
improves your ability to read and write, makes you
familiar with the
language of emotion
and the creative process, and, more importantly,
provides you with a wide
scope of
possibilities that are open to you.
6.
Because
in
modern
life,
an
ideal
capacity
for
establishing
one’s
career
is
to
have
both
technical knowledge and inner insight,
not just one without the other.
7.
“Well
-
rounded
human
beings”
are
those
who
have
insight
and
understand
the
passions,
hopes and dreams
common to all humanity.
8.
Since
many
people
who
once
studied
the
humanities
became
famous
in
their
career,
the
author
implies
that
if
students
spend
more
time
studying
the
humanities,
they
could
surely
become successful in the future as
well.

Did
you
have
such
an
experience
as
when
your
high-
school
physical
education
(P
.E.)
teacher
pushed
you
to
run
for
several
miles
around
the
sports
field
in
a
P
.E.
class?
When
you
were
sweating
and
out
of
breath,
did
you
ever
wish
that
you
could
only
stop
talking
a
P
.E.
class
in
college? However, taking
P
.E. courses can be advantageous to all
college students.
First,
taking P
.E. classes helps students
learn valuable communication and teamwork skills.
There
are many activities that require
students to communicate and interact with each
other when they
are
having
a
P
.E.
class.
For
example,
when
one
group
completes
with
the
other
in
playing
basketball, group cooperation is
extremely important in order to win. Effective
teamwork usually
requires good
communication skills.
Another
advantage
is
that
taking
P
.E.
classes
enables
students
to
more
effectively handle
their
heavy coursework. Not infrequently,
students sleep in class and miss important
information. Not
concentrating in class
may
be caused by insufficient sleep and
no exercise. Through taking P
.E.
courses, students build up their
health. Only when students stay healthy can they
learn better.
To sum up,
taking a P
.E. course at college can
benefit students in developing useful social
skills as
well
as
better
coping
skills
for
their
stress
at
school.
Therefore,
P
.E.
classes
bring
students
advantages both
physically and academically.

In
recent
years,
with
the
development
of
Internet
technology,
the
construction
of
digital
education resources of our country has
made great achievements. Many universities have
set up
their own digital learning
platforms, and digital teaching is playing an
increasingly important role
in
education.
Compared
with
the
traditional
way
of
teaching,
the
digital
way
has
a
lot
of
advantages. On one hand, digital
teaching makes global sharing of teaching
resources possible;
on the other hand,
it expands
the learner’s study time and
space to learn, allowing people to get
access
to
the
digital
virtual
schools
through
the
Internet
anytime
and
anywhere.
These
advantages make it possible for people
to shift from one-time learning to lifelong
learning.

after
high
school
graduation,
continues
through college and leads to starting a
family and having a career.
4. Because
nowadays so many young people are following this
new lifestyle that it has become a
trend. As long as the economic
situation continues its long slide, this new stage
is unavoidable.
5. Unlike their
parents, a large number of young people are now
delaying marriage, child bearing,
and
even employment during their odyssey years.
6. They often resent the pressure
they’re feeling and keep a distance from their
parents or even
run away from home.
Many also resort to computer games, iPods,
iPhones, or iPads.

anxious

upset
seeing
their

continue

8. The author thinks as people are

parents and
their children can tackle

children, they can explore and discover themselves

Ex.8
The odyssey
years are certainly a very complicated phase of
life for young people. Not only do
these young people need to overcome
many difficulties, they also have to face many
challenges
from their parents. The
differences between parents and children can be
well observed in their
completely
different attitudes and views.
First,
they differ in their attitude toward life. Parents
always wonder what has gone wrong with
the new generation. They feel that
during their time, young boys and girls were
better behaved,
more
obedient
and
had
greater
respect
for
elders.
Young
people,
on
the
other
hand,
feel
that
they are capable enough
to learn on their own rather than lean heavily on
the older generation
for guidance.
Young people do not like to be spoon-fed by their
parents.
The
differences
also
appear
in
the
way
the
two
generations
look
at
things.
For
example,
the
parents’
generation
never
understood
Elvis
and
the
Beatles.
Because
they
couldn’t
understand
what was going
on, they were frequently opposed to them and saw
rock as “the devil’s music”.
Young
people, however, are crazy about the modern music
and would love to listen to it for a
hundred times a day. Wherever they go,
they’ll have their iPod with them.
In
conclusion,
it’s
very
difficult
for
parents
and
their
youngsters
to
get
along
d
ue
to
their
distinctive attitudes and the way they
view things. To fill this gap, both parents and
their grown
children need to be more
understanding to each other.
Ex.9
作为美国文化价值体系的一个重要组成部分,

Filial piety is
the basic code of ethics in the ancient Chinese
society. Chinese people consider
filial
piety
as
the
essence
of
a
person’s
integrity,
family
harmony,
and
the
nation’s
well
-being.
With
filial piety being the core of Confucian ethics,
it has been the moral standard for the Chinese
society to maintain
the
family relationship for thousands of years. It’s
undoubtedly a traditional
Chinese
virtue. The culture of filial piety is a complex
concept, rich in content and wide in range.
It concludes not only cultural ideas
but also institutional etiquettes. Generally
speaking, it refers
to
the
obligation
of
children
to
their
parents
required
by
the
society,
including
respect,
care,
support
for
the
elderly
and
so
forth.
Filial
piety
is
fundamental
to
the
ancient
“Oriental
civilization”.

Text A
Ex. 1
1. The author uses
this sentence to tell her own love story. She
didn’t expect that she would end
up
marrying Butch. He became her boyfriend just
because of her wish to find a cute boyfriend.
She didn’t really want to
mar
ry him at the beginning.
2. Because when she met up with Butch
the first time, he kept staring at her all night
long. He
flattered
her
and
fell
in
love
with
her
at
first
sight.
He
looked
really
wild
or
maybe
even
dangerous.
3. Because Butch had a “bad
boy
image” which was very
tempting to a lot of girls, and his wild,
dynamic personality was a little
frightening. She didn’t know whether she could be
getting along
with him.
4. Though she always had an excellent
reputation in respect to her schoolwork, she
thought that
her college life was dull,
with no fun. In her opinion, college was supposed
to be a time of great
learning and also
of some fun.
5. Because she was
becoming more interested in him and she wanted to
find out if she was the
“right” date in
the
eyes of Butch, thinking of herself
as a traditional girl.
6. It means that
Butch didn’t want to do anything to change his bad
situation. The word fate here
refers to
the fact that Butch was going to be expelled from
the university.
7. Though Butch was
wild and would sometimes display directly his love
in front of her friends, he
was always
a perfect gentleman at his core. And they had a
pure and responsible relationship for
seven years.
8. The author
and her husband’s faithful journey of love that
started w
ith a causal attraction but
bloomed into a mature love proves that
romantic love can last long through the ups and
downs in
life.

Ex. 8
Frequently, students experience a tough
time and are faced with an activity beyond their
ability.
However, my freshman year
learning experience made me think otherwise. I had
never thought I
could do it, but I
finally conquered my fear of public speaking.
At the beginning of the
semester, my English teacher gave the assignment
of speaking for three
minutes in front
of the class. It was an individual project worth
10 percent of the course grade.
Since I
was very nervous to speak in public, I worried
about it for two months. Having no choice, I
wrote all of my idea on note cards. I
practiced my speech with my notes in front of a
mirror and in
front of my dog. Would I
be able to give my speech in front of my class?
When the day of my speech
came, I was ready. As I walked to the front of the
class, I looked at my
classmates and
smiled. Then I looked down at my note cards. At
that moment, I realized that I
had the
wrong information. These were the notes for my
biology test, not the information about
my speech! I closed my eyes and took a
deep breath. Suddenly, I began to speak. To my
surprise,
the words flowed from my
mouth. I just couldn’t believe it!
Everyone applauded my speech, and I
felt like a winner. The three-minute speech that
day made
me realize that people can
always overcome their odds if they are motivated.

July 7th on the Chinese calendar is
Chinese Qixi Festival, the most romantic of all
the traditional
Chinese holidays. Every
year, some big businesses organize various
activities, and young people
send gifts
to their lovers. As a result, the Qixi Festival is
considered to be Chinese “Valentine’s
Day”.
The
Qixi
Festival
is
derived
from
the
legend
of
Cowherd
and
Weaving
Maid.
The
legend
holds
that on this particular night every year the
Weaving Maid in heaven meets with Cowherd.
So, people can see Cowherd and Weaving
Maid meeting in the Milky Way on the night of
Qixi. On
this night, girls would also
beg Weaving Maid for some wisdom for a happy
marriage. But, with
the changing of
times, these activities are diminishing. All that
remains is the legend of Cowherd
and
Weaving Maid, a sign of faithful love,
continuously circulated among the folk.
