、
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 writing
Some

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, what’s the sense of learning
Engli
sh 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!

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 feelings, knowledge,
self
-cultivation,
p
ersonality, 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

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,
pain
ting, 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.

“Well
-r
ounded
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.

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.

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 distan
ce
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 a clear 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.

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
due
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.

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
fo
rth.
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
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 k
now 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 b
ad 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.

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.
