各位同学们,为了督促帮助大家持续提升英语能力,培君老师们特意给大家准备了托福每日一包。每天覆盖听说读写内容,坚持完成两周以上,就能见到自己的英语能力不断上涨哟。
1.托福听写包答案:
Since no one knew much about the real Columbus, it was easy to invent a mythical one?
既然没人了解真正的Columbus是什么样的,发明出一个神话中的他就变得很容易了?
Exactly. And this mythical Columbus, it became a reflection of the society which chose him.
没错!而这个被神化了的Columbus成为了选择他的这个社会的缩影。
So in the early history of the United States, Columbus represented an escape from the political institutions of Europe.
所以在美国的早期历史中,Columbus代表着从欧洲的政治体制中的逃脱。
He was the solitary individual who challenged the unknown.
他成为了只身挑战未知的那个人。
And now there was this new democracy, this new country in a world without Kings.
然后就有了这个新的民主,有了这个不存在君王的国家。
Columbus became sort of the mythical founder of the country.
Columbus某种程度上成为了这个国家的神话中的创建者。
So as historians, we wouldn’t want to study these myths about Columbus and mistake them for facts about Columbus.
所以,作为历史学家,我们不会想研究这些关于Columbus的神话,并且把它们误认为是关于Columbus的事实。
But if we are trying to understand American culture, then we can learn much by studying how America adapts Columbus for its own purposes.
但是如果我们在试图理解美国文化,那我们通过学习美国是如何根据自己的意志转化Columbus的就能学到很多。
Evaluations of Columbus then will reflect what Americans think of themselves.
对Columbus的评价将会反映出美国人是如何看待他们自己的。
Oh, there is a quote, something like, “societies reconstruct their past rather than faithfully record it.”
有一句引用的话,好像是“社会重建它们的过去,而不是忠实地记录下来。”
And how that reconstruction takes place and what it tells us, that’s something we are going to be paying a lot of attention to.
而那种重建是如何进行的以及它告诉了我们什么,才是我们要多加关注的内容。
2.阅读包答案: 举例来说,只要上溯三代,一个人就会有八个曾祖父母,或者上溯四代,就会有十六个曾曾祖父母,即便如此,这种DNA只能揭示一到两位祖先的基因信息。
3.写作包答案: 中译英1: It is said a panda came here from Sichuan province.I never see a panda except on TV. 中译英2: Agriculture is an important industry in China.China ranks first in agricultural output worldwide,primarily producing rice,wheat,potatoes,peanuts,tea,and cotton.Although accounting for only 10 percent of arable land worldwide,China produces food for 20 percent of the world's population.Due to China's status as a developing country and its severe shortage of arable land,farming in China has always been the labor-intensive industry.Chinese government has been paying close attention to agriculture,increasing the investment and actively carrying out irrigation and water conservancy to improve the modernization of agricultural production,which leads to a high growth rate in China's output of various agricultural products.However,due to the large population,the amount of the agricultural products per capita is small.
