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.

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

高级英语第一册Unit12 课后练习题答案

Piquette, she would certainly choose the latter without hesitation, no matter whether the latter had nits or not.

7)Normally, she was a defensive person, and her face was guarded as if it was wearing a mask. But when she was saying this, there was an expression of

challenge on her face, which, for a brief moment, became unguarded and unmasked. And in her eyes there was a kind of hope which was so intense that it filled people with terror.

8)She looked a mess, to tell you the truth; she was a dirty, untidy woman, dressed in a very careless way.

9)She was brought in court several times, because she was drunk and disorderly as one could expect.

My Childhood

I was born in a small village and my whole childhood was spent there． At that time, the countryside was poor and few families could afford a black—and—white television， let alone a colour TV．Fortunately，there was a film projection team in our people’s commune and it added to the happiness of my child—hood． I became fascinated with films without my knowing it，and seeing a film became one of my major funs after schoo1． There was not a film On every

day．Generally I would feel satisfied with one film every two or three weeks，though it was often reprojected in different villages．1 was happiest when my own village

高级英语第一册Unit12 课后练习题答案

had a film on. Once the news came to me，I got excited，my spirits raised． Surely I would go to the place where the film was to be on after school in the afternoon．1 was very pleased when l saw two deep holes dug，two long poles erected，and the screen hung high between the poles．After an early supper，I would carry along bench and occupy a better position，usually near the place in which the projector was to be，because it was also fun watching how the machine and tape worked．1 was not always SO lucky to get an ideal place，particularly when I toured with my elders to see a film in villages far away，as far as four or five Li on occasions．If I had classmates there，1 would be a little luckier since I had asked them to get a bench ready for me．Otherwise，I had to sit right under the screen，or if I chose，see the firm behind the screen．However，no matter where I found myself；I enjoyed seeing a film．

Seeing a film in the open air was one of the major means of entertainment during my childhood．An old story as it is，I keep a place for it in my heart all the time．
