The offensive had already lasted three days,but we had not gained much ground. The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy at night and launch a surprise attack. To do so,however,we had to cross marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. Lucky enough,thanks to the severely cold weather which made the marshland freeze over,we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle. The enemy,caught off guard,soon surrendered.Unit21.1） There was an unusual quietness in the air,except for the sound of artillery in the distance2）The expansion of urban areas in some African countries has been causing a significant fall in living standards and an increase in social problems. 3）The research shows that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are closely correlated with global temperatures. 4）The frequency of the bus service has been improved from 15 to 12 minute recently. 5）The diver stood on the edge of the diving board,poised to jump at the signal from the coach. 2. Automobiles have,since their invention,revolutionized transportation,changing forever the way people live,travel,and do business. On the other hand,they have brought hazards,especially highway fatalities. However,today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents. For example,electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.

You see,I have barely enough food and drinks for a snack. 5) People gave generously upon learning that new school rooms with stronger structures were to be built in the earthquake-stricken area.2. Well begun,half done,as the saying goes. It is extremely important for a job applicant to do his homework while seeking employment. From my standpoint,whether or not one has done his homework clearly makes a difference in his chance of success. I have a friend who is earning somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000 dollars a years in a large computer software company. He told me that from his own experience the decision makers who interview prospective employees like people who are well prepared. Those who make no endeavor to learn as much about his prospective employer as possible dont have much of a chance of success.Unit41) Due to his pessimistic outlook on the European economy,John has moved his assets from Europe to elsewhere. 2) I like hiring young people.

Globalization has great implications for young Chinese. For example,young farmers are moving on a large scale to urban areas to look for a job. And for those young people who aspire to study abroad or work in foreign-invested enterprises,English has become increasingly important. At the same time,a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years,for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The Internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them dont seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues,let alone carry them forward,which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.Unit51) I have an instinct that Henry will seek to join the expedition,because he is something of an adventurer. 2) He is capable of sticking to the task at hand,even if he is exposed to noises.3) The trademark was registered in accordance with the laws hitherto in force. 4) Oddly enough,many people volunteered to help organize the meeting,but only a few turned up. 5) The teachers affectionate words,along with his candid comments,changed the way Mike perceived the society and himself. 2. For my own part,I find that appearances are all too often deceptive. For instance,you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton.In appearance,he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes,gentle and candid. Nevertheless,he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lennys death. Without doubt,Burton was a man with a heart of stone.Unit61) They are exploring the new frontiers of medical science in an attempt to find remedies for incurable diseases/ cures for diseases that are beyond remedy so far. 2) Her unique teaching methods apart,Ms Wilson,my math teacher,never tried to cram knowledge into my head. 3) The regular weather forecast by the Central TV Station keeps us up with the changes of weather wherever we go on a trip. 4) The appalling explosion started a big fire and caused the partial collapse of the building. 5) In the modern world,there are more ways than ever to waste away time,and all kinds of distractions are eating into our precious time. 2. Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours,to produce more,and to possess more. Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/good money. Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and,at the same time,to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities. Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours,leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.Unit71) Some high-ranking officers of the armed forces started a coup,toppling the government and throwing the country into chaos.2) The falling market shattered her illusion about getting rich quickly. 3) Thinking back on the history of World War II,we can see that the formation of the Allies was the natural product of the development of political and military circumstances then. 4) Paul felt stung when Jim called him a religious fanatic.

The building just across the street toppled right before our eyes,debris flew everywhere and a cloud of choking dust blotted out the sun. Horror-stricken people ran in all directions,crying and screaming. Now,many years after that tragic event,a new town has risen on the wreckage of the old one. In the town square,a memorial has been built to remember those killed in the disaster. It seems the wounds in peoples hearts have healed. but the memory will linger.

When we arrived at the town,Caroline was so excited that she darted towards the first bridge she saw and began singing loudly there. Suddenly her voice hushed when she found that she had startled a flock of ducks not too far from us. Now as Caroline was dying for a boat ride,we decided to tour the town by boat. Now loud,now soft,Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the boats gliding over the water in all silence. Though we did not see anything spectacular,we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies out of the range of the heavy traffic and noise of the large city. Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and,time permitting,Id like to go there again.Useful Expressions Unit1 1. 骄兵必败 pride comes before a fall 2. 战无不胜 nothing could stand in their way 3. 奋勇抵抗 fierce resistance4. 冷凄苦的俄罗斯寒冬 a raw，bitter，bleak Russian winter 5. 堪称无敌 be unequaled6. 向发动进攻 launch an attack against7. 痛苦的教训 a painful lesson 8. 速决速胜 a quick,decisive victory9. 让某人吃惊的是 to sb.s surprise10. 面临着一个重要抉择 be faced with a crucial decision 11. 孤注一掷 take the gamble 12. 激战 fierce battle 13. 向提出停战 offer a truce to14. 等待时机 bide ones time15. 成为一场噩梦 turn into a nightmare 16. 拖着脚步行进 drag on 17. 溃不成军的幸存者 the tattered survivors 18. 不宣而战 without a declaration of war 19. 闪电式战略 lightning war20. “焦土”政策 “scorch the earth” Unit2 21. 处境变得危急 the situation becomes desperate 22. 食品匮乏 food runs out 23. 死于饥饿与疾病 die from hunger and disease 24. 食品和补给的匮乏 a lack of food and supplies Unit two Useful Expressions 25. 计算机革命 the computer revolution26. 制造业 manufacturing industry27. 长途司机 long-distance driver28. 被严重低估 be grossly underestimated29. 威胁生命的重大隐患 life-threatening hazard30. 解决问题 cure the problem31. 积极的影响 a positive impact32. 与无线电信号调谐 be tuned to radio signals33. 在任何一个特定时间 at any given time34. 量子理论法则 the laws of the quantum theory35. 精确的频率 precise frequency36. 发出无线电信号 send out a radio signal37. 几乎无限 virtually limitless38. 换算出 be converted into 39. 导航能力 navigational capability40. 手杖 walking sticks 41. 遥控 remote control42. 潜在的应用 potential use / application43. 要求 call for44. 完全控制 take complete control of45. 被编成组 be bunched into46. 一齐行驶 groups travel47. 对环保有利 in union environmental boon Unit 31. 模拟面试 mock interview2. 采取进一步行动 follow up3. 在某人手中,为某人所拥有 in sbs hands4. 亲手送交的 hand-delivered5. 可能的客户 prospective customers6. 在我看来 as I see it7. 俗话说 (as) the saying goes 8. 极有可能 the odds are good 9. 一生中仅有一次的经历 experience that a once-in-a-lifetime10. 事先做好准备 do ones homework 11. 努力争取,追求 go after 12. 交换场地 switch sides13. 发扬长处 develop ones strengths14. 尝试 take/have a crack (at)15. 奇迹中的奇迹 miracle of miracles16. 实现你的目标 accomplish your goals17. 改变现状或观点；产生影响 make a difference18. 大约 in the neighborhood of 19. 做梦也想不到的 beyond ones/anyones wildest dreams 20. 从的观点来看 from ones/the standpoint (of) Unit 41. 扫除sweep aside2. 寻找 in search of 3. 国家认同national identity 4. 狂热信徒 a fervent believer5. 认为 identify as6. 毫不迟疑 without any hesitation 7. 国际商业精英 international business lite8. 少数几位 a handful of 9. 没完没了的认真的讨论 endless earnest discussion10. 资本、劳动力和技术的流动 flow of capital,labor and technology 11. 最佳地点 the most advantageous locations 12. 全球超级物种 global superspecies13. 与渐行渐远 increasingly divorce from 14. 文化断层 cultural fault line 15. 处于的前沿 at the forefront of16. 开辟一条通向的道路 beat a path to 17. 一个创新的卓越环境 a remarkable environment of innovation18. 根据对各国人口和经济增长的预计 be based on projections of demographic and economic growth19. 从脱离 swing away from 20. 低薪流动劳工 low-paid migrant 21. 医疗保健体系 health care system22. 跨国界经营 cross-border business 23. 更别提 let alone 24. 狭隘民族主义 a narrow nationalism Unit 51. 耸耸肩 shrug ones shoulders2. 自大 great vanity3. 让某人大吃一惊 give sb.a great surprise4. 听某人亲口讲述 from sb.own lips 5. 衣着整洁素雅 be neatly and quietly dressed6. 合乎某人的年龄和身份 in accordance with ones age andstation 7. 玩桥牌 play bridge8. 和睦恩爱的一家人 a united and affectionate family9. 年轻时in ones youth 10. 点头致意 nod a greeting 11. 对有一种本能 have an instinct about 12. 两颊白里透红 pink-and-white cheeks 13. 和善地咯咯一笑 give a kindly chuckle 14. 勉强地/欣然地 with a bad/good grace 15. 一文不名 go broke16. 穷困潦倒 be down and out17. 自杀 commit suicide18. 由于 on account of 19. 吃一惊 be taken aback20. 身体状况不好/好 in bad/good condition21. 祝某人好运 wish sb.s good luck22. 临阵脱逃 funk it at the last moment 23. 喝酒作乐把身体搞垮 ruin ones constitution by drink and dissipation 24. 对付不了 more than one can manage25. 拿我自己来说 for my own part26. 红红的脸上布满皱纹 a red face much wrinkled Unit 61. 吞噬 eat into 2. 困于交通堵塞 stuck in traffic jams3. 越洋购物旅行 the transatlantic shopping expedition4. 在大多数情况下 in most cases5. 使摆脱 free sb. from 6. 个人的穿着打扮 personal grooming7. 处理软件故障 fix software8. 除去技术发展 glitches technology apart 9. 信息爆炸 the information explosion 10. 感到时间紧迫 feel time-pressed11. 从世界各个角落 from every corner of the world 12. 在整个世界学术界 in the whole world of schol
