>13 Skyscrapers2 and Environment
In the late 1960's, many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems, and new steel-and-glass skyscrapers were widely criticized. Ecologists pointed3 out that a cluster of tall buildings in a city often overburdens public transportation and parking lot capacities.
Skyscrapers are also lavish4 consumers, and wasters, of electric power. In one recent year, the addition of 17
million square feet of skyscraper1 office space in New York City raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120, 000 kilowatts5 -- enough to supply the entire city of Albany, New York, for a day.
Glass-walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful6. The heat loss (or gain) through a wall of half-inch plate glass
is more than ten times that through a typical masonry7 wall filled with insulation8 board. To lessen9 the strain on heating and air-conditioning equipment, builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed panels of glass, and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror
films that reduce glare as well as heat gain. However,
mirror-walled skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings.
Skyscrapers put a severe strain on a city's sanitation10 facilities, too. If fully11 occupied, the two World Trade Center towers in New York City would alone generate 2.25
million gallons of raw sewage each year -- as much as a city the size of Stanford, Connecticut, which has a population of more than 109, 000.
摩天大楼与环境
60年代后期，很多北美人把注意力转向了环境问题，那些崭新的
玻璃钢摩天大楼受到了广泛的批评。生态学家指出，城市中密集的高
层建筑经常给公共交通与停车场的承载水平造成过重的负担。摩天大
楼还是电能的过度消费者与浪费者。最近的某一年，纽约市摩天写字
楼1，700万英尺办公面积的增加使电能的日需求量提升了120，000
千瓦。这些电能足以供纽约的整个奥尔巴尼市使用一天。玻璃表面的
摩天大楼特别地浪费。通过半英寸的平板玻璃墙壁损失(或增加)的热
量是典型的加入绝缘板的石墙所允许的热量损失(或增加)的十倍以上。为了减轻取暖设备或空调设备的压力，摩天大楼的建造者们已经开始
使用双面上釉的玻璃镶板和涂上了金色或银色反光薄膜的反光玻璃，
来减少强光照射和热量的增加；但是，镜面的摩天大楼会提升周围空
气的温度并会对附近的建筑物产生影响。摩天大楼也对城市的卫生设
施造成了沉重的压力。单单纽约市的二个世界贸易中心大楼如果完全
被占满的话，每年就会产生2，250，000加仑的污水。这相当于康涅
狄格州的斯坦福市这样大的城市一年所产生的污水量，而康州的斯坦
福市拥有109，000人口。
2018考研英语作文模板必背20篇：大作文(3) As is shown in the picture, on arriving at the finishing line of a race on the playground, the lovely young man has to continue his new journey in no time instead of stopping to take a rest. He has successfully settled the puzzle of “stopping or going on” which might have confused many others. With the increasing pace of modern life, perhaps no change has characterized the past decade more dramatically than that of people's view on their own life. It is generally agreed upon that people have to adjust themselves to this new change. On the one hand, no doubt, people will gain a lot by setting new goals in their daily life. Take the famous scientist Thomas Edison for example. He had done very well in his early life, but continued to pursue something more difficult all through his life. On the other hand, if one is obsessed with the success he has achieved, he would lose the chance to pursue new success. What is more, he may become the slave of his success. There are many cases showing that people lose their courage to better themselves after becoming successful. To sum up, one's view on his success determines his future. In my opinion, it is necessary to carry out a nation-wide campaign publicizing people who have a burning desire for more and ever greater achievement when they are already well-known. So that people in the society will develop a forward-looking attitude and make their life worth living and the world more beautiful as well. 以上是中公考研为大家准备整理的2018考研英语作文模板必背20篇：大作文(3)的内容。中公考研提醒大家2018考研招生简章、2018考研招生目录、2018考研参考书目以及2018考研大纲已陆续公布，中公考研将为大家及时提供相关资讯。另外，为了帮助考生更 好地复习，中公考研为广大学子推出2018考研VIP1对1、秋季集训营、保研课程系列备考专题，针对每一个科目要点进行深入的指导分析，还会根据每年的考研大纲进行针对性的分析哦~欢迎各位考生了解咨询。同时，中公考研一直为大家推出考研直播课堂，足不出户就可以边听课边学习，为大家的考研梦想助力!
The Force of Habits Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. The more we do a thing, the more we tend to like doing it; and if we do not continue to do it, we feel uncomfortable. This is called the force of habits, and the force of habits should be fought against. This applies even to such good things as work or rest. Some people form a bad habit of working too much, and others of idling too much. Bad habits, once formed, are difficult to get rid of. The wise man always remembers to check any bad habit. He warns himself “I am now becoming idle” or “I like too many sweets” or “I smoke too much”. And then adds, “I will get myself out of this bad habit at once.” The Way to Achieve Success Many people say that they owe much of it to the cultivation of certain good habits in early life. In forming good habits, I think we should pay attention to four things, that is honesty, industry, enthusiasm and thrift. “Honesty is the best policy.” This is a proverb to which we must pay attention. There are so many temptations in society that through a little carelessness we may go astray. But when we are honest, people will not be dishonest to us. Industry gives every man and woman, every boy and girl, proper work to do. To do nothing is going to ruin oneself. Enth usiasm is a great force. One’s soul will expand if one devotes oneself to a noble cause. The difficulties in our way are tremendous, but what can we not accomplish, if with enthusiasm }
从《新概念英语》谈英文写作中句子的升 华 《新概念英语》三册的学习中很重要的一点就是写作能力的培养，而中国同学在英文语句的写作方面往往会有一些不那么“地道”的表达。我根据自己的教学经验和平时积累的同学们作文实例，对作文中经常出现的一些句子方面的问题作一个小小的总结。 1. sentence fragments (incomplete sentences) l How to use it? l The essay is poorly organized, there is no central idea. l There were people who would be glad to see him leave the place, he knew it. Exceptions made by experienced writers: l He was, I think, very handsome. I gathered this from photographs and from my own memories of him. Handsome and proud, like a peacock. (sense and structure matched well) l I shook his hands and his shoulders, as I cried out his name again and again, but, no response——he died. (a suspense created by
short, incomplete sentence) 2. chop sentences (short, simple sentences) In advanced writing, students are encouraged to write long and complex sentences, conveying sufficient information and ideas, making sense groups logically and naturally connected so as to achieve a tightly woven piece of writing. Short and simple sentences may be used for a change or for sentence variety, as well as for some special effect. l There was a pine tree on the top of the mountain. It stood like a giant. It towered over the trees around it. (On the top of the mountain stood a giant pine tree, towering over the trees around.) l Mr. Smith likes to drink all kinds of wines. Most of them are produced in France. (Mr. Smith prefers French wines.) 3. colloquial words and expressions in writing Writing itself is generally formal, or at least less informal. Therefore, if it is not written for some special informal situation, formal and standard written language is preferred. Colloquial English is, in most cases, not proper in essay writing. l I’ve got a terrible headache. (I am afflicted with a bad

Obtaining Six hundred years ago, Sir Johan Hawkwood arrived in Italy with a band of soldiers and settled as Giovanni Acuto. Whenever the Italian city-states were a t w a r w i t h each other, Hawkwood used to hire his soldiers to princes who were willing to pay the high price he demanded. I n t i m e s o f peace, when business was bad, Hawkwood and his men would march into a city-state and, after b u r n i n g d o w n a few farms, would o f f e r t o go away if protection money was paid to them. Hawkwood m a d e l a r g e s u m s o f m o n e y in this way. I n s p i t e o f t h i s, the Italians regarded him as a sort of hero. When he died a t t h e a g e o f eighty, the Florentines gave him a state funeral and had dedicated t o t h e m e m o r y o f 'the most valiant soldier and most notable leader, Signor Giovanni Haukodue.' 曾经有一个时期,芝加哥的店主和商行的老板们不得不拿出大笔的钱给歹徒以换取"保护"。如果交款不及时,歹徒们就会很快捣毁他的商店,让他破产.榨取"保护金"并不是一种现代的罪恶行径.早在14世纪,英国人约翰.霍克伍德就有过非凡的发现:"人们情愿拿出大笔的钱,也不愿毕生的心血毁于歹徒之手. 600年前,约翰.霍克伍德爵士带着一队士兵来到意大利,在佛罗伦萨附近驻扎下来,很快就出了名.意大利人叫他乔凡尼.阿库托.每次意大利各城邦之间发生战争,霍克伍德把他的士兵雇佣给愿给他出高价的君主。和平时期,当生意萧条时,霍克伍德便带领士兵进入某个城邦,纵火烧毁一两个农场,然后提出,如向他们缴纳保护金,他们便主动撤离。霍克伍德用这种方法挣了大笔钱.尽管如此,意大利人还是把他视作某种英雄。他80岁那年死去时,佛罗伦萨人为他举行了国葬,并为他画像以纪念这位"骁勇无比的战士、杰出的领袖乔凡尼.阿库托先生."

01 The Language of Music A pain ter hangs his or her fini shed pictures on a wall, and every one can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it un til it is performed. Professi on al sin gers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical stude nt n eeds to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dan cer. Sin gers practice breathi ng every day, as their vocal chords would be in adequate without con trolled muscular support. String players practice moving the fin gers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm —two entirely different moveme nts. Sin gers and in strume nts have to be able to get every n ote perfectly in tune. Pia ni sts are spared this particular an xiety, for the no tes are already there, wait ing for them, and it is the pia no tun er s responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties; the hammers that hit the stri ng have to be coaxed not to sound like percussi on, and each overlapp ing tone has to sound clear. This problem of gett ing clear texture is one that confronts stude nt con ductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at con trolli ng these sound with fanatical but selfless authority. Tech nique is of no use uni ess it is comb ined with musical kno wledge and un dersta nding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the Ianguage of music that they can enjoy perform ing works writte n in any cen tury. 02 Schooling and Education It is commonly believed in United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important. Educati on is much more ope n-en ded and all-i nclusive tha n schooli ng. Educati on knows no boun ds. It can take place any where, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitche n or on a tractor. It in cludes both the formal lear ning that takes place in schools and the whole uni verse of in formal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, educati on quite ofte n produces surprises. A cha nee con versati on with a stra nger may lead a pers on to discover how little is known of other religi ons. People are en gaged in educati on from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an in tegral part of one Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be lear ned, whether they are the alphabet or an un dersta nding of the work ing of
