本次作业是本门课程本学期的第2次作业，注释如下：大学英语III 第2单元 作业题
一、单项选择题(只有一个选项正确，共40道小题)
1. – Thank you so much for the book you sent me. – _________________ (A) No, Thank you. (B) I’m glad you like it. (C) Please, don’t say so. (D) No, it’s not so good. 你选择的答案： B [正确] 正确答案：B
解答参考：[第二单元]B 此题考查有关“感谢与应答”的习惯用语。对别人赠送的礼物，不论轻重，都要表示感谢，这是礼貌。应答时，中国人往往采取一种谦逊的态度；而英美人却以迎合的态度来表达自己的心情。所以，I’m glad you like it. 是正确答案。
2. – It’s been a wonderful evening. Thank you very much. – __________________ (A) My pleasure.
(B) I’m glad to hear that. (C) No, thanks. (D) It’s ok.
你选择的答案： A [正确] 正确答案：A
解答参考：[第二单元]A 此题第一说话人说“晚会很棒，非常感谢。”，通常在这种情况下，听话人应该礼貌地表示感谢，可用My pleasure, 意为“你这么说，我很荣幸。”而It doesn’t matter. 通常用于应答别人的道歉，表示“没关系”；It’s ok. 不符合英语习惯；No, thanks. 又与句意不符。
3. –Thanks for the lovely party and the delicious food. – _________________ (A) No, thanks. (B) Never mind. (C) All right. (D) Don’t mention it. 你选择的答案： D [正确] 正确答案：D
解答参考：[第二单元]D 同上题，考查对感谢的应答。我们可以说Don’t mention it. 或That’s all right. 但不能说All right。而No, thanks. (不，谢谢。) 和Never mind. （不要紧。），都与题意不符。
4. – You have won the football game. Congratulations! – _________________ (A) We are really lucky. (B) No one else could do it. (C) Oh, not really.
(D) It’s nice of you to say so. 你选择的答案： D [正确] 正确答案：D
解答参考：[第二单元]D 当对方对你赢得足球赛而表示祝贺时，应按照英美国家的文化，真诚地表示感谢，这也是对说话人的尊重。如果一味谦虚说“不、没有、还差得远”等，反而就不礼貌了，这与中国人的习惯不太一样。所以，回答Oh, not really. 和We are really lucky. 都不对。此外，骄傲的回答No one else could do it. 也不恰当。 故只有It’s nice of you to say so. 是正确答案。
5. –Thanks, you saved my life! – _________________
(A) Oh, I’m afraid I didn’t do well enough. (B) I’m glad I could help. (C) No problem.
(D) It’s not necessary for you to say so. 你选择的答案： B [正确] 正确答案：B
解答参考：[第二单元]B 当别人感激你的救命之恩时，回答时可以说 “I’m glad I could help.” 意为“能帮上忙，我很高兴。” A 、D选项都谦虚过分，不符合英文思维习惯。C选项的No problem. 意思是“没问题”，与句意不符。
6. – You’ve been a great help. I do appreciate your kindness. – _________________ (A) You are welcome. (B) You are welcomed. (C) Forget it.
(D) That’s what I should do. 你选择的答案： A [正确] 正确答案：A
解答参考：[第二单元]A 题干意为“你帮了我大忙，真是太感谢了。”回答不用谢的说法很多，在此正确答案是You are welcome. B选项形式不对; C选项的Forget it. 意为“算了”；
而D是中文式说法。
7. – I really like your apartment. – __________________ (A) That’s right. (B) You could say so. (C) Thanks for saying so. (D) Good idea. 你选择的答案： C [正确] 正确答案：C
解答参考：[第二单元]C 第一说话人表示“我真的喜欢你的公寓”，而对赞美的典型回答就是表示感谢。因此，可说Thanks for saying so. 意为“您能这样说，我很感谢。”而其他三个选项的说法That’s right. You could say so. 和Good idea. 均不够礼貌。
8. – Thanks for coming all the way over here. – _________________ (A) Don’t be sorry. (B) It’s no trouble. (C) Not at all.
(D) Both \’s no trouble\你选择的答案： D [正确] 正确答案：D
解答参考：[第二单元]D 回答别人的“谢谢你大老远专程跑一趟”，用It’s no trouble. 或Not at all.都是可以接受的，都表示“这没什么大不了的。”的意思。甚至，也可以说No trouble at all. 但不能用Don’t be sorry. 不符合英文习惯。
9. – I couldn’t have done it without you. – _________________ (A) It doesn’t matter. (B) It’s nothing. (C) Yes, you are right. (D) Of course. 你选择的答案： B [正确] 正确答案：B
解答参考：[第二单元]B 题干说“若没你在，我肯定搞不定。”其实也是一种间接表达感激的说法。回答时，可用It’s nothing. 意为“这算不了什么”。而用It doesn’t matter.（没关系。），或像选项C, D那样直接肯定对方说法，都是不合适的。
10. – It’s very thoughtful of you to give me a ride. – _________________
(A) At your service. (B) Take it easy. (C) Sure.
(D) You are too polite. 你选择的答案： A [正确] 正确答案：A
解答参考：[第二单元]A 当对方说“你能载我一程，真是想得太周到了”时，可以回答At your service. 表示“乐意为你效劳。”同时，也可用Any time. 表示愿随时为你效劳。而Take it easy. 是让别人放宽心；Sure. 表示确认和肯定；You are too polite.（你太客气了。）是中文的习惯说法。
11. Eventually he _____ the judgment and set the prisoner free. (A) refused (B) returned (C) reversed (D) recovered

Psychologists tell us that there are five distinct phases (or stages) of culture shock.
During the first few days of a person’s stay in a new country, everything usually goes fairly smoothly. The newcomer is excited about being in a new place where there are new sights and sounds, new smells and tastes. Unfortunately, this honeymoon phase often comes to an end fairly soon. The newcomer has to deal with transportation problems, shopping problems, or communication problems.
This may lead to the second stage of culture shock, known as the “rejection phase”. It is so called because it is at this point that the newcomer starts to reject the host country, complaining about and noticing only the bad things that bother them.
If you don’t survive stage two successfully, you may find yourself moving into stage three: the “regression phase”. In this phase, you spend much of your time speaking your own language, watching videos from your home country, eating food from home. Your homeland may suddenly seem marvelously wonderful; all the difficulties that you had there are forgotten and you may find yourself wondering why you ever left.
If you survive the third stage successfully you will move into the fourth stage of culture shock called the “recovery phase”. In this stage you start to realize that no country is that much better than another—it is just different lifestyles and different ways to deal with the problems of life. With this complete adjustment, you accept the food, drinks, habits and customs of the host country, and you may even find yourself preferring some things in the host country to things at home. Finally you have become comfortable in the new place.
Much later, you may find yourself returning to your homeland and—guess what?—you may find yourself entering the fifth phase of culture shock. This is called “reverse culture shock”. You have been away for a long time, becoming comfortable with the habits and customs of a new lifestyle and you may find that you are no longer completely comfortable in your home country. [共5题]

你选择的答案： A [正确] 正确答案：A 参考答案：
[第二单元]; 第5小题：A 主旨题。问题问及作者的口吻。文章开篇就是“Psychologists tell us that?”（心理学家告诉我们??），间接说明作者是站在客观立场的。通读全文，也可以发现作者从始至终都没有发表主观的看法，也不带任何“反讽(ironic)”、“批判(critical)”或“悲观(pessimistic)”的语气。故答案是“客观(objective)”。

Almost everyone who studies, lives or works abroad experiences some degree of culture shock. This period of cultural adjustment involves everything from getting used to the food and language to learning how to use the telephone. No matter how patient and flexible you are, adjusting to a new culture can, at times, be difficult and frustrating. It is easy to get lost, depressed and homesick. You may even want to go back home!
Donˇt panic these are all totally normal reactions and you are not alone. Sometimes it is hard to remember why you decided to leave home. You are on an adventure a wonderful opportunity to grow and learn but it does not always seem that way. Although you cannot avoid culture shock entirely, we have a number of tips that will help you get through difficult moments:
冘 Start a journal of the new things you come across every day and your reactions to your new home. Writing things down will help you keep them in perspective, and are funny to look back on!
冘 Never confuse your ability to speak the new language with your i ntelligence; it is easy to feel stupid and get down on yourself, but there is no reason to. It takes everyone some time to adjust and become comfortable with a new language.
冘 Be physically active! Walk, swim, run, play tennis or do some other physical activity you enjoy often. You will feel better, meet new people and keep in shape.
冘 Keep your sense of humor. Try, no matter how hard it is, to see something of value in every new experience and challenge you come across. Laugh now, not just later!
冘 Take advantage of services that your university, church or community offer. Contact a counselor at the International Students Office, a resident advisor if you live in residence halls, someone at your church
If you are having a problem with something, tell someone! They will want to help you, and you will feel a lot better having people to support you. Donˇt be afraid to speak up.

It was a normal summer night. Humidity hung in the thick air. I couldn’t go to sleep, partly because of my cold and partly because of my expectations for the next day. My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise.
Sweat stuck to my aching body. Finally, gathered enough strength to sit up. I looked out of my small window into the night. There was a big bright moon hanging in the sky, giving off a magic light.
I couldn’t stand the pressure anymore, so I did what I always do to make myself feel better. I went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste. I cleaned my teeth as if there was no tomorrow. Back and forth, up and down.
Then I walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement, some life. Gladiator, my cat, frightened me as he meowed his sad song. He was on the old orange couch, sitting up on his front legs, waiting for something to ha ppen. He looked at me as if to say “I’m lonely, pet me. I need a good hug.” Even the couch begged me to sit on it．
In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch. This couch represented my parents’ marriage, my birth, and hundreds of other little events.
As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily. My mind was flooded with question: What’s life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiator’s body, I had a new thought; each touch sang a different song.
I forgot all about the heat and the next day’s surprise. The atmosphere was so full of warmth and silence that I sank into its arms. Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms, I felt all my worries slowly move away. [共5题]

沙发代表了父母的婚姻，我的出身，还有生活中无数的小插曲。）所以只有选项A“happy memories”（快乐的回忆）与之吻合。

Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone — not just for a privileged elite. Schools are expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability, and also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing, sewing, repair of radio, computer programming or driver training, along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics, history, and languages. Students choose their curricula depending on their interests, future goals, and level of ability. The underlying goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities, and to give each one a sense of civic and community consciousness.
Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and “Americanizing” the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and origins. Schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns.
The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal, but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts. Instead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities. Students spend much time, learning how to use resource materials, libraries, statistics and computers. Americans believe that if children are taught to reason well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives.
