新視野大學(xué)英語(yǔ)第二版讀寫(xiě)教程完形填空原文和翻譯

1、 UNIT 1 I am frequently asked the question ,”Can you use chopsticks” I have lived in Korea ,Japan and China .In each country , I have ,more often than not and without having requested one ,been given a fork when one was available .I have politely refused and said that I would be fine with chopsticks

2、 .Sometime, I have to make further explanation. Chopsticks are the least of my worries when I am eating in an Asian home or restaurant .In fact ,learning how to use chopsticks takes me nothing but a few weeks .This is not to say I was skillful, though .Learning how to use chopsticks is easy for me ,

3、whereas learning the rituals and how to conduct myself at the table is quite difficult .Just how many times do I have to say ”no ,thank you” when I really mean” no ,thank you ,I truly am full ”?How do I get away with refusing more food without offending someone ?If I insist and I still get more ,is

4、it appropriate just not to eat it ?This would be impolite where I come from.I have enjoyed many great meals and my interactions with the people have been great .I am increasingly aware that I will never be able to give back as much as I have received. I dont know how I can ever thank all of the peop

5、le who introduced me to eating in Asia. UNIT 2 This was what all of the training and pain was about-winning .I watched TV to see the young runner who had been under my coaching for the last few years .I would have been there on the spot had it not been for the traffic problem .I couldnt make it even

6、 on my bicycle. While I watched the young runner enter to the cheers of thousands of people ,I could not help thinking of the pains that he had gone through in his training. The young runner was hardly considered to be promising when he first came to me .There were countless training sessions full o

7、f pain for him .I had seen fatigue written on his face I had heard him swear at me .I had been indifferent to his anger and pain .It was clear that only hard work could earn him success .I had smiled to myself when I found that he had too much passion to give up .And he would persist with the traini

8、ng until he reached perfection .I had never forgot to remind him that despite the challenges he had to keep on practice. It was unfair that he had no time for his G F. But that was life for him. The thunderous shouts and cheers drew me back to the TV screen .Oh, my dear ,the young runner was gaining

9、 speed .He was running to the finish line .He was strong enough to beat other runners .His courage ,heart and discipline together with his years of practice won him the honor. Tears rolled down my cheeks when I found on the screen the young runner was looking around .I understood at once that he was

10、 looking for me .For year ,he had become so used to my presence ,success or failure .It must have seemed strange for him to find me missing. UNIT 3 I didnt marry for all the” right reasons” .Love had nothing to do with marriage .And ,for my husbands part, well, I suspect love was on his mind either

11、.He married me because I made him feel young .He was such an ordinary man going around his very ordinary midlife crisis .He was divorced ,looking for younger women and a career change .That didnt bother me, though .He was still fairly charming ,pretty handsome and above all rich .I married for money

12、 ,and I dont have any doubt about it .My friends dont applaud my decision ,but I can also tell that they wish, at least a little bit ,for some of the same things that I now enjoy .They always prefer to speed a lot of time by my swimming pool than at their common little homes .And another thing, they

13、 are always complaining about their ”beloved”. ”Hes always watching how much I spend.” Its become more like a business relationship than a marriage. My husband, however ,doesnt care how much I spend and our marriage never become a business because it already was one. You could say, we have a mutual

14、understanding .We are very realistic about the whole thing .It is painful for my friends when they realize that love is just an illusion. Marriage for love never existed for me. And, hell never divorce me .Hed lose too much money. UNIT 4 Love is important because without it life has no meaning or pu

15、rpose .ILove allows us to do more than we could ever accomplish without its power. So often we take good care of our physical needs .We make sure our bodies are fed ,cleaned ,clothed, exercised and rested .However ,we tend to overlook the most important need-love .Of course, as a society ,love is no

16、t overlooked .Popular media constantly places great emphasis on what we need to do to attract” love”. But being loved is not as powerful an emotional need as that desire to love someone else. The need to love and care for other is built into us biologically .This need is what allows parents to give

17、up sleep and food while raising their children. This need is what allows people to put themselves at risk to save other from natural disasters or threats. Love means to cherish ,hold dear, and treasure. We do not hurt, harm ,or cause pain to those we love ;rather, we seek to alleviate their sufferin

18、g .Its not about wanting to possess or control others; its about wanting to set them free .Love is the power that allows the wheel of life to continue turning ,for when we love beyond our own needs and desires. We sacrifice our time ,our energy, our wishes, and sometimes even ourselves because of lo

19、ve .It is love that allows emergency services personnel to face danger. It is love that allows soldiers to risk everything. The ultimate definition of love is not about feeling good but rather about doing good. UNIT 5“Knock it off!” Billy would not cease banging his foot on the table. Mrs.Stewart ha

20、d lost all patience in telling him to stop. Her words were falling on deaf ears .She had asked her son to quit doing sth. that was bothering her so many times that she hardly even knew the words were coming from her mouth .Billy had got used to this .He just ignored his moms expressions like these .

21、He banged on without a pause. She used to try to phrase her words in positive ways like,” When you bang on the table that way ,it upsets me. Would you mind doing sth. else that is a little quieter? ”There was warmth in her voice and she had all of the best intentions. But when she actually managed t

22、o get Billys attention in this way, he simply replied ,But Im bored. She tried to offer him a bunch of alternatives, but nothing worked and it all became too tedious .It had become noticeable even to herself that she was increasingly using negative expressions. Mrs.Stewart seems to understand that e

23、ven if she shouts she cant expect Billy to respond immediately. But she still believes that to keep on applying the pressures might work someday .Children may learn that arguing no longer works because of her continuous shouting. UNIT 6 Whats in a name? Your fate could have been entirely different i

24、f you had been given a different name at your birth. Some of us recognize that our name does not necessarily fit and start using a different name rather than the one we were given. Many of us choose to use our middle name so we can be true to our parents, and at the same time be more confident. Some

25、 people who have changed their name claim that their professional lives improved .They feel better about themselves so they are more likely to achieve more .But those who have changed their names are not just being overly sensitive. Name themselves convey some information causing others to make judg

26、ment based solely on them .Here is an example :A magazine declined to print a writers name simply because the editor thought it suited a baseball player more than an art critic .Another example: A women at a party became embarrassed when she wanted to be introduced to a man she had declined because

27、of his name .One study showed that teachers give different grades to the identical essays written by boys with different names. Similarly, girls popularity can be related to their names. Yet, which name works and which does not depend on the times .The good qualities of a well-liked president or act

28、or can often influence how a name is seen .But if a name becomes too well-known ,it might also fall out of favor as parents look for sth. a little more unique for their child. UNIT 7 I was in a bad temper .I was just like the stress in my life that was running out of control .I could probably attrib

29、ute it to financial stress .My company was cutting jobs and they were evaluating each workers performance .This was inevitable in those days of rising competition and shrinking companies .The companies were getting smaller because of the hopeless economic conditions .I knew I was being considered as

30、 one of the workers they would let go though I had been overworking .Or maybe it was my home life .My wife and I had gotten in an argument and my 19-year-old daughter announced that she was leaving the house to move in with her boyfriend. I am usually not a person of quick temper ,but yesterday was

31、different .I rode my bike to work as usual；its about 20 kilometers .I had stopped for a red light and then proceeded when the light turned green .I had assumed the car coming from my right would stop, but instead it went right on through the red light and nearly hit me .I barely had time to react .I

32、 grabbed my bike lock and threw it at his car ,hitting his rear window and making a crack. The driver stopped and got out of the car. I laid my bike down and picked up the bike lock from the ground for protection .Then he reached for his phone to call the police. UNIT 8It is strange that some people

33、 tell us the economy is bad and the job market is changing for the worse, especially for young people. This puzzles me. From my perspective, the world is never seen so many incredible opportunities for young people exiting college. Trends toward specialized careers and lower salaries leave economist

34、s and sociologists fearful that the next generation of employees will be confined to roles that are too narrow and thus not regarding enough. Many say corporations are taking advantage of the labor force. But, no one is forcing our youth into such occupations. If a rewarding job does not exist in th

35、e current system, theyll have to create it for themselves. The Internet has already answered students cries for more career possibilities. The next breakthrough to create something truly creative is bound to happen anything now. At the same time lets ensure that students are prepared for the day whe

36、n their chances are coming. By telling our young people everything has already been done and that there is nothing left to dream about, we are robbing them of the opportunity to create a system that is new and exciting, outside the confines of what is currently imaginable. But then again, maybe Im w

37、rong. Maybe I shouldnt worry about our youth at all. Their ability to challenge what is before them and defy our unnecessary worries is their great strength. Maybe by telling them they cant, we are in effect encouraging them to create something truly incredible. All in all, the future for the young

38、people is not gloomy; instead, it is promising. UNIT 9 Journalists play a very important part in the way we see the world around us .It is unfortunate that increasingly the standpoint of the reporter or the news agency is advanced in the story .This is not good reporting , which should involve all o

39、f the key facts and an account of those facts in an objective manner .In this way ,the public can take the information and form its own opinion .It is the responsibility of the media to ensure that this happens. Far too often these days ,reporters from scattered places around the globe are looking f

40、or the most thrilling stories instead of focusing on the stories that are the most important .News has become a form of entertainment rather than an accurate source of information .It used to be that we could count on our news media to find information we are interested in, but nowadays many media o

41、rganizations have owners who have political aims ,and many reporters even receive wages from political groups .Naturally, we cannot expect the truth from such journalists. Another problem is that any person or organization can post information on the internet without considering whether it is true o

42、r not .It has become a real nuisance to find information that has been put out in such manners .Good reporting has become unusual indeed. UNIT 10 In the summer of 1940,the German air force attempted to win air advantage over southern Britain and the English Channel by destroying the RAF and the Brit

43、ish aircraft industry .This attempt came to be known as the Battle of Britain .The Germans had invaded Belgium and the Netherlands in May 1940,using the Lightning War technique that largely relied on close coordination between ground troops and the air force .Although the air force proved effective

44、in this role ,it was not trained for the longer-range operations that became part of the Battle of Britain. It is widely believed that had the Germans succeeded in their aim of destroying the RAF ,they would have been able to invade Britain relatively easily .This was, after all , at a time when the

45、 country was the only European power resisting Nazi Germany ,even though she did enjoy great support from her partners. Although the fear of a German invasion was real , it was real ,it was perhaps unfounded. When planning the air attacks the Germans made the mistake of regarding the English Channel

46、 as a relatively minor obstacle , little more than a wide river crossing. In addition , even if Hitler had achieved his aim of destroying the RAF, Germany might still have failed to establish a foothold, because the British Royal Navy was enormously strong. There was nothing to stop them from withdr

47、awing their aircraft out of range of the German fighters.原文翻譯：1我常問(wèn)的問(wèn)題，“你會(huì)用筷子嗎？“。我住在韓國(guó)，日本，和中國(guó)。在每一個(gè)國(guó)家，我有，更多的往往不是沒(méi)有要求，得到一個(gè)叉時(shí)，可用。我有禮貌地refusde說(shuō)我用筷子就好了。有時(shí)候，我必須做進(jìn)一步的解釋?？曜邮俏易畈粨?dān)心當(dāng)我吃在亞洲的家庭或餐廳。事實(shí)上，學(xué)習(xí)如何使用筷子帶我只有幾個(gè)星期。這并不是說(shuō)我是熟練的，雖然。學(xué)習(xí)如何使用筷子對(duì)于我來(lái)說(shuō)是容易的，而學(xué)習(xí)禮儀和如何進(jìn)行自己的表是相當(dāng)困難的。有多少次我必須說(shuō)“不，謝謝你”的時(shí)候我真的是“不，謝謝你，我真的吃飽了嗎？我如何去拒絕更
