Unit 1
Man has a blood tie with nature and nobody can live outside nature.Nature provides us with everything we need: the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat.For quite a long time after man began to live in the realm of nature, he lived in fear of its destructive forces.He used to regard nature with its elemental forces as something hostile to him.And even the forest was something wild and frightening to him.Very often, he was unable to obtain the merest daily necessities though he worked together with others stubbornly and collectively with his imperfect tools.Through his interaction with nature, man changed it gradually.He cut down forest, cultivated land, transferred various species of plants and animals to different climatic conditions, changed the shape and climate of his environment and transformed plants and animals.He subdued and disciplined electricity and compelled it to serve the interests of society.Nonetheless, with the constant expansion of agriculture and industry, man has robbed nature too much of its irreplaceable resources, polluted his own living environment and caused about 95% of the species that have existed over the past 600 million years to become extinct and still many others to be endangered.The previous dynamic balance between man and nature is on the verge of breaking down.Man is now faced with the problem of how to stop, or at least to moderate the destructive effect of technology on nature.The crisis of the ecological situation has become a global problem.The solution to the problem depends on rational and wise organization both of production itself and care for Mother Nature.This can only be done by all humanity, rather than by individuals, enterprises or separate countries.1 realm 2 elemental 3 obtain 4 stubbornly 5 transferred 6 transformed 7 subdued 8 expansion 9 irreplaceable 10 extinct 11 dynamic 12 verge 13 moderate 14 ecological 15 rational
Unit 2
Technology is a “hot” issue nowadays.The defenders of technology stress its advantages while the opponents emphasize its disadvantages.Neither side has ever taken the time to look at the opposite point of view.The defenders of technology hold that with technology, people's living conditions have been greatly improved.For example, the boom in productivity has made goods better and cheaper.Therefore, things that were once luxuries, such as jet travel and long-distance phone calls, have become necessities.Medical technology, in particular, has benefited us a lot, especially in prolonging life expectancy.On the other hand, the opponents of technology argue that technology makes life obviously worse.Telemarketing, traffic jams, and identity theft are all phenomena that make people consciously unhappy.In addition, many people believe technology disrupts relationships and fractures community.Ever since the Industrial Revolution, the relationship between happiness and technology has been an eternal subject for social critics and philosophers, though economists and social scientists have seldom touched on the topic.However, in 1974 the economist Richard Easterlin did groundbreaking work on the relationship between prosperity and well-being.In his famous paper entitled “Does Economic Growth Improve the Human Lot?”, Easterlin showed that there was no real
correlation between a nation's income level and its citizens' happiness in the developed countries.In fact, technology is neither good nor bad.It depends on what we want to do with it.Therefore, the responsibility belongs exclusively to humans who have to acquire a social conscience, to respect human beings, nature and its balances.emphasize 2 opposite 3 improved 4 luxuries 5 benefited 6 obviously 7 consciously 8 fractures 9 eternal 10 groundbreaking 11 entitled 12 correlation 13 depends 14 exclusively Unit 4
Most people have work to do.With work, they can enjoy their lives.However, people who did physical labor were looked down upon in the past.Many people were compelled to take manual labor because it was an absolute necessity for them to earn a living and to support their families.By contrast, people who did mental work were highly respected.Under the influence of this idea, even today some people still idealize their future when making choices for their career.What they care most about is whether the job can give them enough social status rather than whether they can realize their values in it.In their eyes, those who do manual labor should still be classified as inferior in social status.In fact, there is no essential difference between those who work with their hands and those who work with their mind.Whether a job is labor or work does not depend on the job itself but on people's attitude towards it.As long as you like your job, you will think you are fortunate enough to take it and you will do it enthusiastically.1 enjoy 2 physical 3 compelled 4 necessity 5 support 6 mental 7 idealize 8 status 9 values 10 classified 11essential 12 mind 13 attitude 14 fortunate
Unit 5
What does success mean to you? Does it mean wealth, fame, power or something else? Different people have different pursuits in life so they understand success in different ways.Some people chase money their whole lives.To them, more money means more success.Some people run after fame.With fame and reputation, they can gain the admiration and love of many others.However, some people dedicate themselves to the well-being of society.Doubtlessly, money is something that can be used as a reward to those who have done valuable work.Those who perform their work excellently should be paid sufficiently.But success cannot be measured in monetary terms, nor in terms of the amount of power one may exercise over others.After all, money and power can assure people neither of happiness nor of respect from others.Fame, too, is a flawed measure of success.Momentary fame can bring great joy to those who have it for a time.But they are very likely to become the slaves of their celebrity because of the public’s demands.In addition, they will easily become the target of everyone who disagrees with them and of the media as well.To be frank, if one is unable to fully enjoy life and liberty, the short-lived success is nothing but illusory.Therefore, to achieve the right kind of success is vitally important.As long as one can combine his own material needs and spiritual satisfaction with those of the well-being of society, he should be held in high regard.chase 2 reputation 3 dedicate 4 reward 5 sufficiently 6 measured 7 assure 8 Momentary 9 celebrity 10 target 11 frank 12 liberty 13 illusory 14 regard Unit 6
Truth is a fact accepted as true, for which proof exists.Truth is a great principle, without which beauty may fade and love may wither.Those who uphold truth have a strong sense of responsibility.Those who hold firmly to truth are faithful to their duty and the people they serve.They commit themselves to the well-being of others.With aspirations to make a contribution to society, they are ready to correct their own mistakes, if any.It can be said that they are men of moral integrity who never ask for gratitude in return.Truth dawns upon us slowly but surely.In the long quest for truth, people have accumulated precious knowledge and experience.However, truth also needs nourishment just as plants need water, because many people are too preoccupied with petty and sometimes even mean concerns to respond to the great beauty of truth when it flowers or they frequently fail to appreciate truth when it is tendered.In short, truth is an invaluable asset to the whole of humanity.Stick to the truth and we will weave a timeless pattern, and earn the respect and esteem of others, elevate the world today above its present imperfections and place ourselves in the proud position of promoting the good of the humanity.1 wither 2 sense 3 faithful 4 commit 5 aspirations 6 gratitude 7 dawns 8 accumulated 9 nourishment 10 preoccupied 11 flowers 12 tendered 13 weave 14 elevate 單元 1

技術是當今的“熱點”問題。捍衛者技術強調其優勢并同時對手,強調它的缺點。任何一方曾經花了時間來看看相反的觀點。
技術的捍衛者舉行,與技術,人們的生活條件得到很大改善。例如,生產力的蓬勃發展使得貨物更好和更便宜。因此,曾經的奢侈品,如噴氣旅行的東西和打來越洋電話,已成為必需品。醫療技術,尤其是,有受益我們很多,尤其是在延長壽命。
另一方面,技術的反對者認為技術使生活顯然更壞。電話銷售、交通堵塞和身份盜竊都是現象,使人們自覺地不開心。此外,很多人認為技術擾亂關系和骨折社區。
自從工業革命,幸福與技術之間的關系一直為社會批評家和哲學家的一個永恒的主題,雖然經濟學家和社會科學家有很少談到主題。然而,在 1974 年經濟學家理查德 · 伊斯特林做了開創性工作繁榮與幸福感之間的關系。在他著名的論文,題為“經濟增長改善人類命運的?”,伊斯特林表明,一個國家的收入水平和其公民的幸福在發達國家之間沒有真正相關。

大多數人有工作要做。工作,他們可以享受他們的生活。然而,人誰做物理勞動被瞧不起過去。很多人都被迫采取的體力勞動,因為它是絕對的必要性,謀生并支持他們的家庭。與此相反的是,人誰做心理工作的高度推崇。根據這種思想的影響,甚至今天一些人仍然理想化自己的未來時對他們的職業生涯做出選擇的。他們最關心的問題是是否這份工作可以給他們足夠的社會地位,而不是他們是否能意識到它們的值在它。在他們眼里,那些做體力勞動的人還是應該被分類不如社會地位。
其實沒有本質的區別,那些人用他們的雙手工作和那些工作與他們頭腦。一份工作是否是勞動或工作并不取決于工作本身但對人的態度對待它。只要你喜歡你的工作,你會認為你是足夠的幸運采取它,你會熱情。

單元 5 成功對你意味著什么?它意味著財富、名聲、權力或別的東西嗎?不同的人在生活中有不同的追求,使他們明白成功以不同的方式。有些人追逐金錢他們整個的生活。對他們來說,更多的錢意味著更大的成功。有些人跑步后名聲。與名譽和聲望,他們可以獲得許多其他人的愛與贊美。然而,一些人奉獻自己對社會的福祉。
無疑,錢是可以用作獎勵給那些做了有價值的工作。那些人很好地執行他們的工作應該足夠支付。但成功不能衡量貨幣而言,也不是數量,一個可能對他人行使的權力方面。畢竟,金錢和權力能保證的人既不是幸福的也不是從別人的尊重。
名望,也是成功的有缺陷的程度。瞬時名聲能給那些有一段時間的人帶來巨大的喜悅。但他們很可能成為他們的名人的奴隸,因為公眾的要求。此外,他們將容易成為每個人不同意他們和媒體以及目標。弗蘭克,如果一個人是無法充分享受生命和自由,短暫的成功是什么但虛幻.因此,要實現這種正確是成功的極為重要的。只要一個可以結合自己的物質需要和精神上的滿足與幸福的社會,他應該高方面舉行.追 2 聲譽 3 奉獻 4 獎勵 5 足夠 6 測量 7 保證 8 瞬間 9 名人 10 目標 11 弗蘭克 12 13 虛幻 14 自由方面
單元 6 真相是被接納為真實存在的證明的事實。真理是一個偉大的原則,沒有哪個美可能會褪色,愛可能會枯萎。那些堅持真理的人有強烈的責任感。那些堅定地堅持真理的人忠實于自己的職責,他們所服務的市民。他們提交自己對他人的福祉。與愿望,為社會做出貢獻,他們準備糾正自己的錯誤,如果有的話??梢哉f,他們是道德正直的男人永遠不會要求為感恩回報的人。
真理的黎明來臨緩慢但肯定。在追求真理的漫長過程,人們有積累起來的寶貴知識和經驗。然而,真理也需要營養就象植物需要水,因為很多人太 專注于與瑣碎,甚至是關切回應的大美人的真相時它 花或他們經常未能認識到真理,當它是招標。
總之,真理是全人類的寶貴財富。堅持真理,我們將編織永恒的圖案,和贏得尊敬和尊重他人,提升今天以上其目前的不完美的世界和自己放到促進造福于人類的驕傲位置。

Theme related writing Write a passage in about 100-120 words, taking either of the following titles: Why I like to learn English I have learned English for about seven years.I should say that I am highly motivated to master English.First of all, learning English is useful, as it is becoming a world language and people from different countries often communicate with one another in English.If I am good at English, it will be much easier for me to communicate with them.Secondly, I like traveling a lot.A good mastery of English will make things much easier for me when traveling around the world.Finally, I like literature a lot.If I am very good at English, I can read great works by Shakespeare and Dickens and many other English writers instead of reading the translated versions.(118 words)Why I hate to learn English I have learned English for about seven years.I should say the more I learn English, the more I hate it.First of all, learning English is boring.I have to memorize many new words or rely on a dictionary to frequently check unknown words.Doing so wastes a lot of my precious time.Secondly, I don't understand why we have to learn a foreign language.I don't want to go abroad and I can always find a job that doesn't need English in China.Finally, I can always read translated versions of the books I want to read.So, if I don't have to learn English, I would rather use the time I spend on English to do things I like.(121 words)

2)I was grateful that my mother criticised me the other day.I had been asking her for money to buy all kinds of things that my friends have — a new pair of shoes or some new clothes.Every time I was refused, I played the same trick-threatening to pour the dish she cooked for the family into the river.My mother gave in each time I threatened to do that, but one day, she criticised me really hard.She scolded me for being selfish and inconsiderate and asked me to sit in a corner and reflect on my own behaviour.I couldn't believe my mother would be so angry with me and I grew afraid.I learned a good lesson and changed a lot afterwards.I was thankful that my mother made me realize my mistakes.(139 words)2.Describe your attitude towards your father or mother when you were a teenager.When you could not agree with each other, what did you do? Use an incident from daily life to support the description.My father is a well-known carpenter in my village.I still remember that when I was in my mid-teens, I used to adore him so much that I followed him and helped him make furniture for the other villagers.He not only had good skills, but he was also willing to help the villagers with minor repairs such as mending a broken window frame or fixing a door, without charge.All the villagers respected him.They also paid me compliments when they saw me helping him, saying that I would grow up to become honest and industrious just like my father.I was so proud that I had a father who was so well respected.(116 words)

Theme Related Writing Write a passage of about 100-120 words according to one of the instructions given below.a.I have been described by many friends as a warm, sociable, and outgoing extravert.I find it easy to make new friends and I enjoy the company of people who share similar characteristics as I.When I am at a party, many people including those I do not know, will talk to me.I am not a great beauty, neither am I rich and intelligent.In fact, I am just a very simple person who is happy and smiles a lot.Maybe being happy is the attraction.I like bright colours, especially red.It is said that people who like red are passionate and have a lot of energy.I agree that I am enthusiastic about many things and like doing many things at the same time.So it seems there is some truth after all in what colours say about a person’s personality.(141words)
b.The person I admire most is my father’s youngest brother.He is known to us as ba shu because he is the eighth son in a family of eleven.He is a high achiever.Since young, he has done well in his studies and work.For example, he received a prestigious scholarship to study at a well-known medical school in England.Today, at the age of 62, he is still as outstanding.He is a well-respected surgeon and has won many awards.What I like most about ba shu is his sensitive nature, especially toward children who are born unlucky.He has volunteered his time and made sacrifices to help those in poor and developing countries.His strong desire to bring happiness to these people has impressed me a lot.(131 words)c.If I were given a wish to have two personality traits, I would choose to be an optimistic and creative person.I would like to be an optimistic person because those who are optimistic are usually satisfied and contented with what they have.They seldom let sadness be a part of their life.I want to be happy and being optimistic is one way to remain happy.I also would like to be creative.I think that creativity is inherited.Some may disagree and say that we can learn to be creative.However, no matter how hard one learns, it is those born with the talent of creativity who will make a great name for themselves like the famous poet Li Bai and the richest man in the world, Bill Gates.(131 words)
d.Here is no one person I dislike most but there are a couple of personality traits that I cannot tolerate: aggressiveness and selfishness.Aggressive people do not consider others’ feelings and will not think twice about hurting even those closest to them.I once had a neighbour who would beat his wife one day and appear loving the next.His wife lived in fear constantly but could do nothing because he was in control of her.Another personality trait I dislike is selfishness.Like aggressive people, selfish people only think of themselves.There are many everyday examples of selfishness such as those not willing to lend things to others and those not wanting to share exam tips even with their best friends.If you know someone with a combination of aggressiveness and selfishness, you should consider whether to call him or her a friend.(143 words)Unit 4 Enhance Your Language Awareness Working With Words and Expressions 1)1.They were smashing windows when the police arrived.2.70,000 tons of oil spilled from the tanker(油輪)and the sea was polluted.3.She volunteered to write an explanation of how the new computer system works.4.The book was inspired by the good deeds(事跡)of a real person.5.It was blowing hard and very soon the tree in front of my house fell with a great crash.6.The police report stated that he was once arrested for theft.7.The Dean(系主任)is not available at the moment, but you may call back in an hour.8.Up to two million people there are dependent on food aid.9.It was most unfortunate that I missed the chance to be interviewed by the company director.10.Can we find a mutually convenient time for us to meet? 2)1.exclaimed 2.arrange 3.aroused 4.resembles 5.volunteered 6.appreciate 7.requires 8.cracked 9.miracle 10.victims11.precious12.delicate 13.expected 14.interviewed 3)1.take over2.get through 3.no way 4.Leave off 5.put it … together 6.in touch with7.No sooner … than 8.in advance 9.looking forward to 10.arrange for11.in contrast 12.took on 13.made sure 14.move in15.in the hands of 16.go with 17.in poverty Increasing your word power.1)1.commission 2.smashed3.smash 4.volunteered 5.spill6.crash 7.contrast 8.commission 9.spilt 10.volunteer 11.contrasts 12.crashed 2)1.e 2.e 3.a 4.a 5.c 6.d 3)1.happy 2.impulsive 3.carelessness4.calmness5.firm 6.illness7.awareness 8.weakness 9.submissive Grammar Review.Task One Task Two 1.No mistake 2.has been living 3.enjoys 4.No mistake 5.tried 6.No mistake 7.No mistake 8.No mistake 9.have been visiting 10.likes 11.had I got 12.had broken 13.No mistake 14.No mistake 15.was suffering 16.No mistake 17.have been receiving 18.No mistake 19.insisted 20.No mistake 21.No mistake Cloze(1)chilly(2)sooner(3)than(4)exclaimed(5)fabric(6)delicate(7)joints(8)that(9)miracle(10)sacrificed(11)precious(12)loving Translation 1)1.Let’s get in touch as soon as we know the results of the test/exam.2.The music aroused an intense feeling of homesickness in him.3.You’ve been working all morning — you deserve a rest now.4.I had no sooner lain down than the telephone rang.Or: No sooner had I lain down than the telephone rang.5.My doctor says I’m too tired and has advised me not to take on any more work.6.Jenny volunteered to clear up after the gathering.7.The subject of the talk is announced a week in advance, but the name of the speaker is not.8.Your performance in the exam did not reach the required standard — in other words, you failed.9.She was so ill that she had to leave off work..10.There is no way to tell what is going to happen.The case is in the hands of the judge, and all we could do is(to)wait.2)當人們變得很老時,像祖父母或曾祖父母那樣,他們有時不再能夠照顧自己。他們會生病,或者摔倒而折斷股骨,或者他們根本都不記得該如何穿睡衣。有時候雖然有些老人看起來還健康,但是因為他們自己獨居,所以覺得很孤單。這時候全家人要碰個頭,商討一下讓他們日漸衰老的家人去養老院去居住是否是一個較好的辦法,因為在那里他們可以得到更好的照顧。Theme-related Writing 1.Imagine you were Meagan.Write a story about GG and her lost doll.Start the story with: “My GG — that's my great-grandma — lived in Maine many years ago.” My GG — that's my great-grandma — lived in Maine many years ago with her Mom, Dad and four sisters.Life was difficult then, but GG's parents tried their best to make their children happy.One Christmas they gave GG a beautiful doll with an exquisite porcelain face and long brown hair.The eyes of the doll opened and closed vividly.GG loved her doll so much that she played with her for a long time and didn't want to separate with her until it was time for Christmas dinner.GG laid the doll down gently on the hall table.But before long she heard a loud crash — GG's baby sister had pulled her doll off the table and it was smashed into pieces.Though GG's mother tried to put the doll together again, it couldn't be done.The doll was gone for ever.And so was GG's baby sister when she died of pneumonia a few years later.It was a deeply unhappy experience in GG's life.2.Write a short passage of about 100-120 words on the topic: “Living in a Nursing Home: A Plan for the Future?” Living in a Nursing Home: A Plan for the Future? Thanks to medical advances and better living conditions, most of us can live longer.The issue of where we will stay when we get old has become a concern for everyone.I did a survey last week on “Are you willing to go and live in a nursing home when you grow old?” Of the ten people surveyed, seven said “yes.” According to them, living in a nursing home would enable them to meet people of similar ages, get instant medical care, and have their meals and laundry taken care of.The three who don't want to stay in a nursing home think living in a nursing home would make them feel lonely and abandoned on the one hand and would have their privacy intruded upon on the other.Nonetheless, the survey does suggest that more people would be willing to live in a nursing home in the future.(147 words.)Unit 5 Enhance your language awareness Working With Words and Expressions 1)1.When we finally completed our courses, all my classmates gathered together to celebrate.2.I have always wanted to be a psychologist, but a recent incident changed my mind.3.It is not difficult at all.You can get it done with ease.4.To be a good research student, you must have a mind for inquiry.5.I could see her genuine concern for my health and I was deeply touched.6.The boss’s fear of change becomes an obstacle to the progress of the organization.7.Please keep stirring the oil to stop it from getting frozen.8.I am most grateful to you for all the help you have offered us.2)1.senior

transformation of nature has severely polluted his living environment.Deforestation leads to changes in rainfall patterns, causing devastating floods, droughts and sandstorms.The
discharge of chemical pollutants endangers our health and the lives of other beings.And mass production has resulted in the shortage of irreplaceable natural resources such as coal and oil.If we take no immediate and effective steps to protect our environment, human beings may be the next species to become extinct.??????We should do our best to protect our environment by planting more trees, taking care of wildlife, reducing industrial wastes, using renewable energy, and imposing heavy fines on environmentally-unfriendly activities, so as to preserve the environment for future generations.
