、
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 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.

Some

spend
hours
reading
their

and
do
a
lot
of
exercises

but
I
don’t
care
about
it
at
all.
My
assumption
is
since
I
have
never
learned
Chinese grammar,
what’s the
sense of learning English g
rammar? 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
exam
ple,
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

many
times
I
got
it
wrong
with
the
sentences

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

click of their brain mouse!

The

of
the
Chinese

is
closely

to

In

Chinese characters have not only played an
important role in exchanging ideas and

developed

Calligraphic

there
is
an

that
“seeing

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
form 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.

Text A

1. Because people in
different life stages are confronted with
different problems and setbacks and each group of
people in
a particular time period have
their particular worries and pains.
norm refers to the general consensus that as soon
as students graduated from college, they would
enter adulthood
and be able to find an
ideal job leading to their career.
3.
They are recognized as a new life stage that comes
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.
7.
Their
parents
feel
more
anxious
and
upset
seeing
their
children’s
odyssey
years
continue
to
stretch
without

direction.
8. The author thinks as people are
getting to know the odyssey years better, both
parents and their children can tackle this
phase better. For parents, they can
understand their children more; for children, they
can explore and discover themselves
with a positive attitude.

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. Becau
se 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, the
y’ll have their
iPod with them.
In
conclusion, it’s very difficult for parents and
their youngsters to get along due to their
distinctive attitudes and the w
ay
they view things. To fill this gap,
both parents and their grown children need to be
more understanding to each other.
Ex.9

Ex. 10
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”.

1. The
author uses this sentence to tell her own love
story. She didn’t expect that she would end up
marrying Butch. He
becam
e
her
boyfriend
just
because
of
her
wish
to
find
a
cute
boyfriend.
She
didn’t
really
want
to
marry
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 s
he 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
with a causal attraction but bloomed into a mature
love proves that romantic love can last
long through the ups and downs in life.

日那天，瓦伦丁被处死，不仅因为他是基督徒，而且因为他曾治愈了一位监

Ex. 10
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.
