1. 这种所谓的运动神经模仿就是“同感”的原始技术含义，而“同感”这个词

脸色”。如果他们这套仪式做得够好，我就会微微转过头，把头发掖到离他们较近的那只耳朵后面。 4. 我告诉他说：“我基本上只读唇语，因为这比用手语更容易，但这不是我一

The late-night edition of the paper was bought by a lot of people interested in the result of the match.

The princess was followed across the town by photographers determined to get a photo of her.

The programme was watched by millions of people hoping to win the star prize. The alarm was set off by two children startled to hear a noise in the back room. The police were contacted by one of the boys’ mothers worried that he might have got lost.

The front-page headlines were changed by the editor hoping to be the first to break the news.

Online editions of the newspapers are being read by more and more people not wanting to buy the traditional edition. 4

1. 一个事件光有客观重要性显然还不够——世界上有大量全球性的大问

题，都会造成戏剧性的后果，从贫穷问题到全球变暖问题——但由于它们都是进行中的，并不都会在同一天成为头条。对比之下，9/11不仅具有国际性，而且奇特怪异、出人意料，还（可能使读者对身陷那场悲剧中的人们的痛苦感同身受，从这个意义上讲）极具人性。

2. 但是，电视新闻未必比报纸报道更客观或更可靠，因为你在屏幕上看到

的图像是经过记者或编辑根据特殊的目的，或至少是按照指示筛选过的；它们是从一个独特的视点展现给观众的。如果把摄像机移到别的地方，你就会看到另一番景象。

3. 互联网为任何有意见的人提供了一个便利的窗口；报纸编辑最喜欢的莫

过于给它们提供各种不同的反馈和意见，他们能从中得到安慰。如今十几岁的少年已不记得曾经没有互联网的日子了；只有在写关于印刷新闻

这一特定媒体的作业时他们才去读报。

4. 如此看来，报纸是不会轻易消失的。未来报纸发展的趋势包括对本地新

闻需求的日益增长，而始于20世纪80年代后期的对生活方式新闻的持续开发利用——尤其在个人理财和旅游方面——将会创造新的收入来源。 6

1. So sudden, so striking was the news that I sat motionless on sofa for a few

minutes. My first instinct was to call our leaders to tell them what had happened and see what we could do for those colleagues who died or got injured in this traffic accident.

2. Paper books for children have an enormous advantage over e-books. For

children, a beautifully printed paper book is not only a book but also a toy they can play with. Reading a paper book is rather different from reading a book on the screen.

3. In recent years, traditional media are in the tendency of decline and new

media are developing rapidly. However, this does not necessarily mean that traditional media have lost the market. When it comes to reading things like news, people are still used to such traditional media as newspaper.

4. With the explosion of the financial crisis, many enterprises find themselves

in difficulties. For those who have no circulating fund to invest in new production and would not let the vicious circle continue, the only thing they can do is turn to government for help. Reading across cultures 1

5. 那是个粗鲁的玩笑，可是达尼卡大夫并没有笑，直到约萨里安又执行了

一次任务之后，再次来求他要求停飞——尽管这没有任何指望。达尼卡大夫窃笑了一下，很快又沉浸到他自己的麻烦中去了，这包括怀特·哈夫特指挥官那天早上一直在向他挑战，要和他比印度式摔跤，而约萨里安则恰恰在彼时彼地决定要发疯。

6. 只有一个诡局，那就是第二十二条军规，它规定：在面对真正的、紧迫

8. 它传来的是一个孤独少女的声音，她为自己写作，但同时也是所有无辜

5. Though they came across many difficulties, under his leadership they

successfully found a market for their products, and the overall situation was changing for the better. In recognition of his outstanding contributions, the company decided to give him a flat as an award.

6. When John challenged him to fencing, he was very embarrassed because he

knew that he was no match for John at it. If he took the challenge, he would surely lose; but if he didn’t, he would be a coward.

7. He caught a cold yesterday. Assuming that he would get better after a good

 The writer creates an atmosphere to show that she was very tense and nervous

(dry mouth, heat beating), but at the same time she was excited and energetic (heart beating, adrenaline pumping) before her race.

 “Burning legs” give readers a feeling of pain, struggling, exhaustion and possibly

a fear of losing the race (because of the opening gap).

 The word “tingle” spreads the effect to readers that they could feel her feeling of

excitement, achievement and victory through a feel of pain all over her body.  The three quotes also show the writers’ feelings during three stages of the race:

tense and excited (before the race); struggling and fearful (during the race) and victorious (in the end).

2. They highlight the key messages which she kept telling herself, the messages which helped her win. She invites readers to see her inner thoughts with this simple and factual information: two minutes, one more lap towards being the Olympic champion. 3. This shows that she could not believe that she had actually realized her childhood dream. She was in a momentary state of doubt, doubting herself, which is natural when something really important and significant happens to you. 8

1. Yes, particularly she is good at describing her feelings through using how different body parts react and sense the emotions:

• deafening noises, heart beating loudly, shouts of encouragement, cries of hope, roar of the crowd,

clapping and shouting with delight (sounds);

• pumping adrenaline, a tingle through the whole of my body, bandaged ankle, burning legs, thoughts of pain (feelings in the body);

• lifted spirits, mental stamina, inner self, I thought I had, keep negative thoughts from my mind, smiled, still not sure (internal thoughts and reactions); • the sea of faces, arms aloft, fists clenched (body actions).

She is also successful in using a string of emotional adjectives and adverbs to describe her feelings and surroundings which stimulated her feelings:

• illuminated, deafening, tantalisingly, loudly, fantastic, completely exhilarating, terrifying, composed, unified, vocal, emotional and physical, gruelling, exhausted, not sure, relief, calm.

2. They must have been extremely excited and proud that she had won. This is reflected through their shouting, loud cheering, and waving flags to support her.

1 the outsider’s view

The writer talks about the “mystery” of injury time and “something called” the offside rule; an insider, or even someone who just watches football games occasionally on TV, would know very well what these are. As he says, he “has no clue what’s going on”. 2 words related to chance, accident and confusion

• Words related to chance: a game of chance, it’s a matter of luck, the chance nature of this game, the ball happens to be aimed about right, it’s sheer luck

• Words related to accident: it looks like an accident, accidentally bouncing off random players, takes full credit for this accident, seem so out of control

• Words related to confusion: I will have no clue what’s going on, a scene of sheer chaos, the chaos resumes, strategies and regulations are so obscure, the mystery of injury time, this leaves everyone perplexed, at a loss for words, The mystery remains 3 choice of words and phrases for humorous effect

men in shorts running around madly trying to kick the ball and tripping over each other, which is not the best use of the cranium, accidentally bouncing off random players, slips through the forest of hairy legs, God never meant for most of us to control a ball with our feet „, his phoney-baloney injury, keeping 22 hopped-up

9. 当夜幕降临悉尼时，雨夜开始悄悄地从夜空飘落。几百盏灯把澳大利亚

体育场照得灯火通明，场内的声音震耳欲聋。走向跑道时我看了一眼四周看台上无数的脸，但我的注意力还是很集中。再过几分钟奥运金牌的归属就要见分晓了，它悬挂在远处，很诱人。

10. 我知道自己会全力以赴，拼尽全力跑完全程。我感觉自己已经进入最佳

状态。我只要跑两圈就行了，就两圈。跑完这两圈，过去两天以及28年来所有情感和身体上的辛苦付出就将被胜利或者失败所淹没。这一跑真是生死攸关。

11. 我知道，如果一个人不是从小就接触某项外来的运动，他就很难对它感

兴趣。现在我正遭遇同样的文化壁垒。6月9号世界杯足球赛就要开始了，而我对球员在“球场”上干些什么却一无所知。看起来这是给这个所谓的精彩赛事揭短的一次大好机会。

12. 时不时地会有球员脸上挨了一肘，躺在草地上痛苦地翻腾。这时会暂停

9. He cried his heart out when he heard that he was not in the list of the school

team. After all, he had gone through months of hard training and grueling competition, and had learned how to shoot with great skill and accuracy. 10. The coach, who was known for his strictness, had meant from the very start

for all the players to shut out all the distracting thoughts and push themselves beyond their limits to ensure that they win a medal at the 29th Olympic Games held in Beijing.

11. Since after he took over the team, the new coach has always borne in mind

his mission and finally made it to the championship of the league matches. When interviewed, the coach was at a loss for words because of excitement. 12. Football is an amazing sport. Despite the fact that most finals are 0-0, 1-0 or

2-1, people keep flocking to see football fames. For me, it remains a mystery what is so attracting about football. Reading across cultures 1
