新视野三版读写2U2翻译讲解Part1A MOOC(massive open online course)is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web.慕课是一种网络课程,它旨在通过网络实现广泛参与和开放接入。
MOOCs are a recent development in distance education and have now become a surging trend in higher education.慕课是远程教育迈出的最新一步,现已在高等教育领域迅速引领潮流。
These classes are aimed at expanding a university's reach from thousands of tuition-paying students who live in town,to millions of students around the world.通过这些课程,大学可以扩大影响的范围,从影响成千上万住在城里付学费的学生,扩展到惠及全球上百万的学生。
In addition to traditional course materials,MOOCs provide interactive user forums to support interactions between students and professors.除了拥有传统的课程资料,慕课还给使用者提供互动论坛,支持学生和讲师之间的交流。
MOOCs can encourage communication among participants who bring a variety of viewpoints,knowledge,and skills to the course;inspire people to"try on"subjects that they wouldn't otherwise pursue or even try on education itself; provide multiple ways to engage with course material,encouraging multimodal (多模式的)learning that can address the needs of learners with a variety of learning styles;and inspire better teaching and use of technologies for face-to-face courses.慕课能够促进参与者之间的交流,使得多种观点、知识和技能涌现到课堂上来;它鼓励人们尝试之前不可能尝试的课程,甚至是尝试新的教育方式;它提供多种学习课程资料的方式,鼓励多模式学习,以各种学习风格满足学习者的需求;另外,慕课促进教学的改善,使技术在面对面授课中得以更好地应用。
Because English or history majors are considered less competitive when the job market is shrinking, and they have to study something that can help them more easily locate their future jobsBecause as the tuition is climbing higher and higher, many students have run away from studying the humanities and toward "hard" skills that they think will lead to employmentSince more students are now taking job-oriented courses, libraries, where students of liberal arts used to study, are getting less popular than before; in contrast, labs are getting more eye-catching because students of science and engineering do experiments and research there.Because this inner drive that can be either constructive or destructive is so mysterious and powerful that it has attracted many people to speculate on it. From ancient times, these men and women developed artistic "languages" in the form of story, music, myth, painting, architecture, sculpture, landscape and traditions, which form the very foundation of civilization.Studying the humanities improves your ability to read and write, makes you familiar with the language of emotion and the creative process, and, more importantly, provides you with a wide scope of possibilities.Because in modern life, an ideal capacity for establishing one's career is to have both technical knowledge and inner insight, not just one without the other.Well-rounded human beings" are those who have insight and understand the passions, hopes and dreams common to all humanity.Since many people who once studied the humanities became famous in their career, the author implies that if students spend more time studying the humanities, they could surely become successful in the future as well.Gain more insight in life and society.• Better understand and predict human behavior.• Realize different interpretations of life and history.• Understand the past which has created the present. • Be aware of cultural and religious differences• Help read and write better.• Broaden their horizons.• Become more well • Become more well-rounded. -rounded.• Become a better communicator.• Develop critical thinking skills.• Have more flexibility for the future career.• Personal interest.• Special talents.• Futur • Future job prospects. e job prospects.• Financial status.• Family advice.• Friends influence.• Social environment.• Better job opportunities. • More practical skills.• Higher • Higher-paid jobs. -paid jobs.• Yes, it invests students with great insight.• Yes, it helps s tudents be better-rounded.• Yes, it provides students with flexibility to change their career.• No, it doesn't satisfy students' needs for their future career.• No, colleges are experiencing deep budget cuts and need to prioritize their financial resources.• No, the society needs more skills, not literature.Promotesacceleratemysteryinsightboostanalysiscalculatebarriersdestructionpr ospectpromisingbearinghousingobjectiveoffendexcludeexcessexecuteintensive / intensifyidentity Excessbearingobjectiveintensifyexecutepromisingexcludeidentityoffendhousin g Insighteducationboostmysteryprospectpromoteinvestappreciationaffect edspeculateare liable toin favor ofspeculate aboutinvestedwithstand up forin the form ofprepared forin the company ofin successionDid you have such an experience as when your high-school physical education (P.E.) teacher pushed you to run for several miles around the sports field in a P.E. class? When you were sweating and out of breath, did you ever wish that you could only stop taking a P.E. class in college? However, taking P.E. courses can be advantageous to all college students.First, taking P.E. classes helps students learn valuable communication and teamwork skills. There are many activities that require students to communicate and interact with each other when they are having a P.E. class. For example, when one group competes with the other in playing basketball,group cooperation is extremely important in order to win. Effective teamwork usually requires good communication skills.Another advantage is that taking P .E. classes enables students to moreeffectively handle their heavy coursework. Not infrequently, students sleep in class and miss important information. Not concentrating in class may be caused by insufficient sleep and no exercise. Through taking P .E. courses, students build up their health. Only when students stay healthy can they sleep better and learn better.To sum up, taking a P .E. course at college can benefit students in developing useful social skills as well as better coping skills for their stress at school. Therefore, P .E. courses bring students advantages both physically and academically.慕课是一种网络课程,它旨在通过网络实现广泛参与和开放接入。

For question 8・10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Will We Run Out of Water?Picture a "ghost ship” sinking into the sand, left to rot on dry land by a receding sea. Then imagine dust storms sweeping up toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers from the dry seabed and spewing them across towns and villages.Seem like a scene from a movie about the end of the world? For people living near the Aral Sea in Central Asia, iVs all too real. Thirty years ago,government planners diverted the rivers that flow into the sea in order to irrigate (providewater for) farmland・ As a result, the sea has shrunk to half its original size, stranding ships on dry land・ The seawater has tripled in salt content and become polluted, killing all 24 native species of fish.Similar large scale efforts to redirect water in other parts of the world have also ended in ecological crisis, according to numerous environmental groups. But many countries continue to build massive dams and irrigation systems, even though such projects can create more problems than they fix. Why? People in many parts of the world are desperate for water, and more people will need more water in the next century."Growing populations will worsen problems with water,59says Peter H・Gleick, an environmental scientist at the Pacific Institute for studies in Development, Environment, and Security, a research organization in California・He fears that by the year 2025, as many as one third of the worlds projected 8.3 billion people willsuffer from water shortages.Where Water GoesOnly 2.5 percent of all water on Earth is freshwater, water suitable for drinking and growing food, says Sandra Postel, director of the Global Water Policy Project in Amherst, Mass. Two thirds of this freshwater is locked in glaciers and ice caps・In fact, only a tiny percentage of freshwater is part of the water cycle,in which water evaporates and rises into the atmosphere, then condenses and falls back to Earth as precipitation ( rain or snow )・Some precipitation runs off land to lakes and oceans, and some becomes groundwater, water that seeps into the earth. Much of this renewable freshwater ends up in remote places like the Amazon river basin in Brazil, where few people live. In fact, the world's population has access to only 12,500 cubic kilometers of freshwater—about the amount of water in LakeSuperior. And people use half of this amount already. "If water demand continues to climbrapidly/9says Postel, “there will be severe shortages and damage to the aquatic environment?9Close to HomeWater woes may seem remote to people living in rich countries like the United States. But Americans could face serious water shortages, too especially in areas that rely on groundwater; Groundwater accumulates in aquifers, layers of sand and gravel that lie between soil and bedrock ・ (For every liter of surface water, more than 90 liters are hidden underground)・Although the United States has large aquifers, farmers, ranchers^ and cities are tapping many of them for water faster than nature can replenish it. In northwest Texas, for example, over pumping has shrunk groundwater supplies by 25 percent, according to Postel・Americans may face even more urgentproblems from pollution. Drinking water inthe United States is generally safe and meetshigh standards. Nevertheless, one in fiveAmericans every day unknowingly drinkstap water contaminated with bacteria andchemical wastes, according to theEnvironmental Protection Agency. InMilwaukee, 400,000 people fell ill in 1993after drinking tap water tainted withcryptosporidium, a microbe that causesfever, diarrhea and vomiting・The SourceWhere so contaminants come from? In developing countries, people dump raw sewage into the same streams and rivers from which they draw water for drinking and cooking; about 250 million people a year get sick from water borne diseases・In developed countries, manufacturers use 100,000 chemical compounds to make a wide range of products. Toxic chemicals pollute water when released untreated into rivers and lakes. (Certain compounds, such as polychlorinated biphenyls,or PCBs,have been banned in the United States.)But almost everyone contributes to water pollution・ People often pour household cleaners, car antifreeze, and paint thinners down the drain; All of these contain hazardous chemicals.Scientists studying water in the San Francisco Bay reported in 1996 that 70 percent of the pollutants could be traced to household waste.Farmers have been criticized for overusing herbicides and pesticides, chemicals that kill weeds and insects but insects but that pollutes water as well. Farmers also use nitrates,nitrogen rich fertilizer that helps plants grow but that can wreak havoc on the environment. Nitrates are swept away by surface runoff to lakes and seas・Too many nitrates "over enrich" these bodies of water, encouraging the buildup of algae, or microscopic plants that live on the surface of the water. Algae deprive the water of oxygen that fish need to survive, at times choking off life in an entire body of water.Whafs the Solution?Water expert Gleick advocates conservation and local solutions to water related problems; governments, for instance, would be better off building small scale dams rather than huge and disruptive projects like the one that ruined theAral Sea."More than 1 billion people worldwide don?t have access to basic clean drinking water,59 says Gleick. “There has to be a strong push on the part of everyone governments and ordinary people t o make sure we have a resource sofundamental to life. ”1・That the huge water projects have diverted the rivers causes the Aral Sea to shrink.2.The construction of massive dams and irrigation projects does more good than harm・3・The chief causes of water shortage are population growth and water pollution・4.The problems Americans face concerning water are ground water shrinkage and tap water polluti on・5.According to the passage all water pollutants come from household waste.6.The people living in the United States will not be faced with water shortages.7.Water expert Gleick has come up with the best solution to water related problems.& According to Peter H. Gleick,by the year 2025, as many as _______ of the worlds people will suffer from water shortages.9.Two thirds of the freshwater on Earth is locked in _______ .lO.In developed countries, before toxic chemicals are released into rivers and lakes, they should be treated in order to avoid .Part II Reading Comprehension (Reading in depth) (40 points) Section A (10 points)Direction: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks・ Choose one word for each blank from the following words in the blank. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.(Passage A 和Passage B 二者选做其一。

Then imagine dust storms sweeping up toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers from the dry seabed and spewing them across towns and villages.Seem like a scene from a movie about the end of the world? For people living near the Aral Sea in Central Asia, it’s all too real. Thirtyyears ago, government planners diverted the rivers that flow into the sea in order to irrigate (provide water for)farmland. As a result, the sea has shrunk to half its original size, stranding ships on dry land. The seawater has tripled in salt content and become polluted, killing all 24 native species of fish.Similar large scale efforts to redirect water in other parts of the world have also ended in ecological crisis, according to numerous environmental groups. But many countries continue to build massive dams and irrigation systems, even though such projects can create more problems than they fix. Why? People in many parts of the world are desperate for water, and more people will need more water in the next century.“Growing populations will worsen problems with water,” says Peter H. Gleick, an environmental scientist at the Pacific Institute for studies in Development, Environment, and Security, a research organization in California.He fears that by the year 2025, as many as one third of the world’s projected 8.3 billion people will suffer from water shortages.Where Water GoesOnly 2.5 percent of all water on Earth is freshwater, water suitable for drinking and growing food, says Sandra Postel, director of the Global Water Policy Project in Amherst, Mass. Two thirds of this freshwater is locked in glaciers and ice caps. In fact, only a tiny percentage of freshwater is part of the water cycle, in which water evaporates and rises into the atmosphere, then condenses and falls back to Earth as precipitation(rain or snow).Some precipitation runs off land to lakes and oceans, and some becomes groundwater, water that seeps into the earth. Much of this renewable freshwater ends up in remote places like the Amazon river basin in Brazil, where few people live. In fact, the world’s population has access to only 12,500 cubic kilometers of freshwater—about the amount of water in LakeSuperior. And people use half of this amount already. “If wat er demand continues to climb rapidly,” says Postel, “there will be severe shortages and damage to the aquatic environment.”Close to HomeWater woes may seem remote to people living in rich countries like the United States. But Americans could face serious water shortages, too especially in areas that rely on groundwater. Groundwater accumulates in aquifers, layers of sand and gravel that lie between soil and bedrock. (For every liter of surface water, more than 90 liters are hidden underground).Although the United States has large aquifers, farmers, ranchers, and cities are tapping many of them for water faster than nature can replenish it. In northwest Texas, for example, over pumping has shrunk groundwater supplies by 25 percent, according to Postel.Americans may face even more urgentproblems from pollution. Drinking water in the United States is generally safe and meets high standards. Nevertheless, one in five Americans every day unknowingly drinks tap water contaminated with bacteria and chemical wastes, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. In Milwaukee, 400,000 people fell ill in 1993 after drinking tap water tainted with cryptosporidium, a microbe that causes fever, diarrhea and vomiting.The SourceWhere so contaminants come from? In developing countries, people dump raw sewage into the same streams and rivers from which they draw water for drinking and cooking; about 250 million people a year get sick from water borne diseases.In developed countries, manufacturers use 100,000 chemical compounds to make a wide range of products. Toxic chemicals pollute water when released untreated into rivers and lakes. (Certain compounds, such as polychlorinatedbiphenyls, or PCBs, have been banned in the United States.)But almost everyone contributes to water pollution. People often pour household cleaners, car antifreeze, and paint thinners down the drain; All of these contain hazardous chemicals. Scientists studying water in the San Francisco Bay reported in 1996 that 70 percent of the pollutants could be traced to household waste.Farmers have been criticized for overusing herbicides and pesticides, chemicals that kill weeds and insects but insects but that pollutes water as well. Farmers also use nitrates, nitrogen rich fertilizer that helps plants grow but that can wreak havoc on the environment. Nitrates are swept away by surface runoff to lakes and seas. Too many nitrates “over enrich”these bodies of water, encouraging the buildup of algae, or microscopic plants that live on the surface of the water. Algae deprive the water of oxygen that fish need to survive, at times choking off life in an entire body of water.What’s the Solution?Water expert Gleick advocates conservation and local solutions to water related problems; governments, for instance, would be better off building small scale dams rather than huge and disruptive projects like the one that ruined the Aral Sea.“More than 1 billion people worldwide don’t have access to basic clean drinking water,” says Gleick. “There has to be a strong push on the part of everyone governments and ordinary people-----to make sure we have a resource so fundamental to life.”1. That the huge water projects have diverted the rivers causes the Aral Sea to shrink.2. The construction of massive dams and irrigation projects does more good than harm.3. The chief causes of water shortage are population growth and water pollution.4. The problems Americans face concerning water are ground water shrinkage and tap water pollution.5. According to the passage all water pollutants come from household waste.6. The people living in the United States will not be faced with water shortages.7. Water expert Gleick has come up with the best solution to water related problems.8. According to Peter H. Gleick, by the year 2025, as many as ________ of the world’s people will suffer from water shortages.9.Two thirds of the freshwater on Earth is locked in________.10.In developed countries, before toxic chemicals are released into rivers and lakes, they should be treated in order to avoid________.Part II Reading Comprehension (Reading in depth) (40 points) Section A (10 points)Direction: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.
