高英2的问题的答案

Lesson1

1.What, according to the writer,makes good conversation?what spoils it?

A good conversation does not really start from anywhere, and no one has any idea where it will go. A good conversation is not for making a point. Argument may often be a part of it, but the purpose of the argument

is not to convince. When people become serious and talk as if they have something very important to say, when

they argue to convince or to win their point, the conversation is spoilt.

2. Why does the writer like “bar conversation” so much?

The writer likes bar conversation very much because he has spent a lot of time in pubs and is used to this

kind of conversation. Bar friends are companions, not intimates. They are friends but not intimate enough to

be curious about each other's private life and thoughts.

3.Does a good conversation need a focal subject?

No. Conversation does not need a focus. But when a focal subject appears in the natural flow of conversation,

the conversation becomes vivid, lively and more interesting.

4. Why did people in the pub talk about Australia?Why did the conversation turn to Norman England?

The people talked about Australia because the speaker who introduced the subject mentioned incidentally that

it was an Australian who had given her such a definition of "the King's English. " When the people talked about

the resistance in the lower classes to any attempt by an upper class to lay down rules for "English as it should

be spoken", the conversation moved to Norman England because at that time a language barrier existed between

the Saxon peasants and the Norman conquerors.

5. How does the use of words show class distinction?

The Saxon peasants and their Norman conquerors used different words for the same thing. For examples see paragraph 9.

6. When was “the King’s English” regarded as a form of racial discrimination in England?

The King’s English” was regarded as a form 0f racial discrimination during the Norman rule in England about 1154—1399．

7.What is the attitude of the writer towards “the King’s English”?

The writer thinks “the King’s English” is a class representation of reality．1t is worth trying to speak

“the King’s English”，but it should not be 1aid down as an edict，and made immune to change from below．The King’s English is a model a rich and instructive one- but it ought not to be an ultimatum．

8.What does the writer mean when he says, “the King’s English,like the Anglo-French of the Normans,is a

class representation of reality?

During the Norman period，the ruling class spoke Anglo— French while the peasants spoke their native Saxon language． Language bears the stamp of the class that uses it．The King’s English today refers to the language

used by the upper，educated class in England．

Lesson2

1 Like other good writers,Orwll is good at showing rather than telling what details or examples does the writer use to show how poor the natives in Marrakech were.

Beyond choice of words and imagery ,Orwell successfully depicts the poverty of the inhabitants of Marrakech by describing objectively the various aspects of their life. His vivid objective descriptions give the reader a clear picture of the poverty of the people.

Here are five things he describes to show poverty- (a) the burial of the poor inhabitants (b)an Arab Navvy, an employee of the municipality, begging for a piece of bread (c)the miserable lives of the Jews in the ghettoes~ (d)cultivation of the poor soil; (e) the old women carrying firewood.

2. What’s the main idea of paragraphs 1-2？How were people buried in Marrakech? What does this show?

In these two paragraphs, Orwell tells us how people are buried in Marrakech—the crowd of mourners wailing a chant, corpses wrapped in a piece of rag, carried on a rough wooden bier, friends hacking a shallow hole, throwing the body in it, flinging some dried—up earth over it, no grave stone. All these show a vivid picture of the poverty of the place.

3. What was the Jewish quarter like in Marrakech? How were the Jew treated in this country?

Under the rulers of the Moorish empire, Jews in Marrakech were only allowed to own land in certain areas. As a result, the streets are very narrow, houses overcrowded and completely without windows. The people have been made to live in such crowded places for so 1ong that they have become used to this kind of overcrowding; since they can expect nothing better, they no longer bother about it. The Jews was an oppressed minority in this colonial country. Their fate was even worse than that of the natives.

4. What does the writer describe in Paragraph 10?

Every one of these poor Jews looked on the cigarette as a piece of luxury which they could not possibly afford.

5. What did the Arabs and poorer Europeans think of the Jews? How does the writer respond to the remarks about the Jews?

The Arabs think the Jews only pretend to work as a poor laborer. They are in reality very rich for they control everything. The writer knew the Jews were now being condemned by prejudice and ignorance as some poor old women who cou1d not even get themselves a decent meal were condemned and burned for witchcraft.

6. What kind of people ,according to Orwell,are partly invisible?Why dose he stress this point?

Those who work with their hands are partly invisible. It’s only because of this th at the starved countries of Asia and Africa are accepted as tourist resorts. The people are not treated as human beings, and it is on this fact that all colonial empires are in reality founded.

Lesson 3

1. Why dose Kennedy say that the world is very difficult now?What differences does he have in mind?

Kennedy thinks the world is different now because man has made great progress in science and technology and has not only the power (scientific farming, speedy transportation, mass production, etc. ) to abolish poverty, but also the power(missiles，H_bombs，etc．)to destroy all forms of human life．I agree with him．

2. What belief is still at issue around the globe according to him?

According to Kennedy，the belief still at issue around the globe is the belief that all man are created equal and God has given them certain inalienable rights which no state or ruler can take away from them．

3. Name some of the old allies of the United States whose cultural and spiritual origins the United States share. These old allies are :Britain，Canada，Australia，New Zealand．and in a wider sense one may also include France．

4. Whom does Kennedy consider as friends and whom as foes.

Kennedy considers as friends：a)the old allies of the U．S．， such as Britain，Canada，Australia，New Zealand and the western European countries； b) the countries in South America and；c)many of the developing countries in Asia and Africa that rely on U．S．aid．He considers all socialist countries as foes(all that time the socialist camp headed by the Soviet Union)and those developing countries preparing to take the socialist road．

5. Who are those peoples in huts and villages? Why does Kennedy want to help them?

The poor people in backward developing countries in Africa and Asia. Because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor,it cannot save the few who are rich.

6. What is his stated policy towards Latin America?

The stated policy of Kennedy towards Latin America is summed up in the phrase “alliance for progress”．Kennedy pledged to take concrete steps to assist these governments and people in casting off the chains of poverty．

7. Sum up the policy Kennedy says he intends to pursue towards those nations whom he considers to be “our adversary”. Kennedy’s policy towards “his adversary” is n egotiation from a position of strength．The U．S．must first be strong enough to deter her adversary． From this strong position of absolute military superiority Kennedy proposes negotiating with the socialist camp(or the Soviet Union)on the following problems：a) arms control，b) cooperation in the fields of science，technology，arts and commerce，c)a new world system．

8. What is his message to his fellow citizens? What does he mean by “a long twilight struggle”?

He calls on his fellow—Americans to make new sacrifices．to do what his country calls on him to do． He should be prepared to sacrifice everything，even his life if necessary， to defend freedom，to wage constant war against tyranny，poverty，disease and war．The“long twilight struggle”is not a hot war but a consta nt，persevering fight against tyranny，poverty，disease and the threat of war．

Lesson 4

1.Can you find any evidence to support the view that the writer is satirizing a bright but self-satisfied young

man?

The whole story is satirizing a smug, self-conceited freshman in a law school. The freshman is made the narrator of the story who goes on smugly boasting and singing praises of himself at every chance he could get. From the very beginning in paragraph 4, he begins to heap on himself all the beautiful words of praise he can think of such as “cool, powerful, precise and penetrating”,etc.At the same time the narrator takes every opportunity to downgrade Petey Bureh. For example, he calls him "dumb", "nothing upstairs ", "'unstable ", "impressionable" and "'a faddist ".And as for Polly Espy, she is "a beautiful dumb girl", who would smarten up under his guidance. It proves to be

a big irony for the narrator when the dum

b girl goes back to her former dumb boyfriend Petey Burch,just because

the latter has a raccoon coat.

2.Why does the narrator consider Petey Burch dumb as an ox?

The narrator considers Petey Burch dumb as an ox because he thinks Petey to be unintelligent, an emotional and impressionable type of person. However, Petey’ s worst fault is that he is a faddi st, he is swept up in every new craze that comes along.

3.What kind of girl is Polly? Why does the narrator teach Polly Espy logic?

Polly is beautiful and gracious. He decided to teach Polly Espy logic because he wanted not only a beautiful wife but also an intelligent one. The narrator wanted a wife who would help to further his career as a lawyer. He found Polly had all the necessary qualities except intelligence. This he decided to remedy by teaching her logic.

4.What does Dicto Simpliciter mean? How does the narrator explain it to Polly?

The fallacy of "Dicto Simpliciter" is committed by an argument that applies a general rule to a particular case in which some special circumstances ("accident") makes the rule inapplicable. The narrator shows it with the example: Exercise is good. Therefore everybody should exercise." In fact, “Exercise is good” is an unqualified

generalization. For instance, if you have heart disease, exercise is bad, not good. Many people are ordered by their doctors not to exercise. You must qualify the generalization. You must say exercise is usually good, or exercise is good for most people.

5.What does Post Hoc mean? What example does the narrator give? What is Polly’s first reaction to this argument?

The fallacy of Post Hoc mislocates the cause of one phenomenon in another that is only seemingly related. The most common version of this fallacy mistakes temporal sequence for causal connection. The narrator gives an example: Let’s take Bill on our picnic. Every time we take him out with us, it rains." She remembers a girl back home--Eula Becker. Every single time we take her on a picnic it rains.

6.What does Contradictory Premises mean? What example does the narrator give? Is Polly confused?

Contradictory Premises means the premises of an argument contradict each other.The narrator gives an example of Contradictory Premises: If God can do anything, can He make a stone so heavy that He won't be able to lift it?"

Yes, Polly is confused.

7.What does Ad Misericordiam mean? What example is given to explain this fallacy? How does Polly respond to

the example? What does it show about her?

The fallacy of Ad Misericordiam is committed when the conclusion changes the point that is at issue in the premises, such as, when a trial lawyer, rather than arguing for his client's innocence, tries to move the jury to sympathy for him. The narrator gives the example of a man applying for a job. When the boss asks him what his qualifications are, he replies that he has a wife and six children at home, the wife is a helpless cripple, the children have nothing to eat, no clothes to wear, no shoes on their feet, there are no beds in the house, no coal in the cellar, and winter is coming." Polly is moved to tears by the poverty and misery of the worker. She is a simple, nice girl with the right feminine emotions.

8.What is False Analogy? What is Poisoning the Well?

False Analogy is committed when the two items don't have strong enough similarities to predict that what happens in one will happen in the other.Poisoning the Well means people speak against the man rather than to the issue.

The premises may only make a personal attack on a person who holds some thesis, instead of offering grounds showing why what he says is false

9.Why does the narrator say, “I was not Pygmalion; I was Frankenstein”? (Para.135)

Because he begged Polly's love and was refused. He might get the same result as Frankenstein, who created a monster that destroyed him, not as Pygmalion, who was loved by his own statue of Galatea.

Lesson 5

1.Why were the younger generation of the1920s thought to be wild?

The younger generation of the 1920s were thought to be wild because they visited speakeasies, denouced Puritan morality, experimented in armour in the parked sedan on a country road,etc. (See para. 1).

2.Was there a revolt of the younger generation at that time? How did it manifest itself?

"Yes" and "no Yes" because the business of growing up is always accompanied by a Younger Generation Problem, "no"

because all their actions can now be seen in perspective as being something considerably less sensational than the degeneration of jazz mad youth.

3.What does the writer mean by “the pattern of escape”?(para.4)

All the activities mentioned above were means to help the young people to escape their more serious responsibilities of changing society and most young people went in for these activities. It became a general pattern of behavior.

4.How did World War I affect the younger generation?

The war whipped up their energies but destroyed their naivete. It made them cynical. They could not adapt themselves into postwar society so they rebelled and tried to overthrow completely the gentel standards of behavior.

5.In what ways did Greenwich Village set the pattern for the revolt of the younger generation of the 1920s?

Intellectuals and non-intellectuals began to imitate the pattern of life set by those living in Greenwich Village.

These people lived a Bohemian and eccentric life. They defied the law and flouted all social conventions. They attacked the war, Babbittry, and "Puritanical" gentility.

6.What new philosophy were the young intellectuals trying to preach?

These young intellectuals wanted America to become more sensitive to art and culture, less avid for material gain, and less susceptible to standardization.

7 Why did many young intellectuals of this period immigrate to Europe?

They emigrated to Europe because there "they do things better" than in the United States where people only care for money and wealth. Only in Europe will they be able to find remedy for their sensitive minds.

8Why was this group of writers called the “lost generation”? were they really lost according to the authors?

They were called the "lost generation" by Gertrude Stein because they were troubled and worried and had emigrated to Europe. But they were never really lost for they finally returned to America and produced the liveliest, freshest, most stimulating works in America's literay experience.

Encyclopaedia Britannica Marrakech: in west central Morocco, at the Northern foot of the high Atlas, 130 miles south of Casablanca, the chief seaport. The city renowned for leather goods, is one of the principal commercial centers of Morocco. It was founded in 1062 and was the capital of Morocco from then until 1147 and again from 1550 to 1660. It was captured by the French in 1912, when its modern growth began. It has extremely hot summers but mild winters. Yearly rainfall is 9 inches and limited to winter months. The city was formerly also called Morocco. Morocco: Located in North Africa, on the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Morocco is the farthest west of all the Arab countries. Rabat is the capital. The estimated population in 1973 was 15,600,000. About 2000 B. C. it was settled by Berber tribes, who have formed the basis of the population ever since. The Arabs invaded Morocco in the 7thcentury, bringing with them Islam. From the end of the 17thcentury until the early 19th century Morocco was almost entirely free from foreign influence. But in 1912, a Franco- Spanish agreement divided Morocco into 4 administrative zones. It gained independence in 1956 and became a constitutional monarchy in 1957. Morocco is a member of the United Nations, the League of Arab States, and the Organization of African Unity. Moroccans are mainly farmers (70%)who try to grow their own food. They often use camels, donkeys and mules to pull their plows. In the south a few tribesmen still, wander from place to place in the desert. II. Questions on content: 1.

Why does the writer say, "A good job. Hitler wasn't here"? If Hitler were here, all the Jews would have been massacred大规模屠杀. 6. What kind of people, according to Orwell, are partly invisible?

THE LOONS 课后习题答案/answer I . 1)The Tonnerres were poor The basis of their dwelling was a small square cabin made of poles and mud, which had been built some fifty years before. As the Tonnerres had increased in number, their settlement had been added, until thc clearing at the foot of the town hill was a chaos of lean-tos, wooden packing cases, warped lumber, discarded car tyres, ramshackle chicken coops, tangled strands of barbed wire and rusty tin cans. 2)Sometimes, one of them would get involved in a fight on Main Street and be put for the night in the barred cell underneath the Court House. 3)Because she had had tuberculosis of the bone, and should have a couple of months rest to get better. 4)Her mother first objected to take Piquette along because she was afraid that the girl would spread the disease to her children and she believed that the girl was not hygienic. She then agreed to do so because she preferred Piquette to the narrator's grandmother, who promised not to go along with the family and decided to stay in the city if the girl was taken along. 5)The cottage was called Macleod, their family name. The scenery there was quite beautiful with all kinds of plants and animals at the lakeside. 6)The narrator knew that maybe Piquette was an Indian descendant who knew the woods quite well, so she tried to ask Piquette to go and play in the wood and tell her stories about woods. 7)Because Piquette thought the narrator was scorning and showing contempt for her Indian ancestors, which was just opposite to her original intention. 8)Because the narrator felt somewhat guilty. Piquette stayed most of the time in the cottage and hardly played with the narrator. At the same time, she felt there was in Piquette something strange and unknown and unfathomable. 9)That was the very rare chance she was unguarded and unmasked, so that the author could perceive her inner world. 10)Her full name is Vanessa Macleod. 11)Just as the narrator's father predicted, the loons would go away when more cottages were built at the lake with more people moving in. The loons disappeared as nature was ruined by civilization. In a similar way, Piquette and her people failed to find their position in modern society. Ⅱ. 1)who looked deadly serious, never laughed 2)Sometimes old Jules, or his son Lazarus, would get involved in a rough, noisy quarrel or fight on a Saturday night after much drinking of liquor. 3)She often missed her classes and had little interest in schoolwork. 4)I only knew her as a person who would make other people feel ill at ease. 5)She lived and moved somewhere within my range of sight (Although I saw her, I paid little attention to her). 6)If my mother had to make a choice between Grandmother Macleod and
