新世紀(jì)大學(xué)英語(yǔ)綜合教程4cloze部分的漢語(yǔ)意思及答案

1、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 use

2、d 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. Throug

3、h 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 electricit

4、y 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 milli

5、on 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 ecologi

6、cal 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

The defenders of technology stress its advantages while the opponents emphasize its disadvantages. Neither side

8、 has ever taken the time to look at the opposite point of view. The defenders of technology hold that with technology, peoples 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

9、 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 ident

10、ity 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 phi

11、losophers, 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 sho

12、wed that there was no real correlation between a nations 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

13、 conscience, to respect human beings, nature and its balances. 1 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 exclusivelyUnit 4 Most people have work to do. With work, they can enjoy

14、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 th

15、e 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

16、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 peoples attitude towards it. As long as you like your job, y

17、ou 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

18、, 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

19、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 term

20、s, 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 t

21、o become the slaves of their celebrity because of the publics 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. Therefo

22、re, 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. 1 chase 2 reputation 3 dedicate 4 reward 5 sufficiently 6 measured 7 assure 8 Momenta

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 tr

24、uth 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 r

25、eturn. 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

26、 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 i
