Unit 4Energy and SustainabilityViewing and speaking11-5: T F T F F211990s2 1.5 million; 27%380%-95%; 50% ; 80%435 billion510 thousand640%TranscriptGermany is in transition. One of the world’s largest economies is pursuing an ambitious goal ‒ switching to renewable energy. For the complete transformation of its energy infrastructure, the German energy market is entering a new age. Intelligent ideas, resolute action, and political will have made Germany a frontrunner.Since the early 1990s, both companies and citizens have been investing in solar, wind and bio-energy power plants. These investments are supported by an attractive and stable legal framework. Germany’s energy revolution is well underway and moving forward with great momentum. More than 1.5 million renewable power plants have been installed in Germany over the past 25 years. A world record! Renewables now produce over 27% of the electricity consumed in Germany. But this is just the beginning. Germany’s energy transition is pursuing ambitious goals. It’s planned that by 2050 the emission of greenhouse gases will have been reduced by 80%-95%. To achieve this, energy consumption will be reduced by 50% and at least 80% ofelectricity will come from renewables.Off-shore wind, on-shore wind and solar are the future pillars of Germany’s energy supply. Sun and wind are fluctuating energy sources. Variations in generation caused by the weather must be balanced out. This means integrating renewable energy into the energy infrastructure is the main challenge. The existing electricity grid needs to be adapted and grid participants need to be able to communicate in an intelligent network ‒ a smart grid. More storage capacity for renewable energy needs to be built, and large investments will be needed to improve energy efficiency further.The fluctuating supply of electricity from renewables requires upgrades to be made to the entire power grid. An investment of over 35 billion euros is planned for the construction of high-voltage transmission lines, electricity autobahns from the wind-rich north to major industrial regions. Large investments are also planned for the local distribution grids as well as for new communication technologies that will quickly identify any bottlenecks.Energy storage systems are another key to integrating and using renewable energy optimally. Large battery systems already helped stabilize the grid by compensating for fluctuations in real time. The falling cost of solar power is making energy storage increasingly attractive for private households too. This led to around 10 thousand solar battery systems being installed in German households in 2014 alone.Increasing energy efficiency in all sectors is another pillar of the energy transition. Germany is one of the world’s leading industrial nations in this field. The country already consumes less primary energy than 25 years ago. Energy consumption is becoming increasingly decoupled from economic growth. Buildings account for around 40% of Germany’s energy consumption, most of which is used for heating. The federal government offers unique incentives for upgrading the energy performance of buildings. World-leading German research institutes and universities work closely with industry to bring innovations to the market. Whether for wind or solar power, greater integration, energy storage or energy efficiency, Germany is home to outstanding research and development facilities.21Solar energy can be used directly for various purposes; wind energy, hydropower and bioenergy all come indirectly from the sun.2In the place where I live, solar water heaters are installed on the roofs of the buildings, providing hot water for the shower. In the neighboring community, solar panels are installed outside the walls of buildings, right under the windows of each apartment. In the nearby park where I usually take a walk after dinner, thelights are also powered by the sun.3clean energyClean energy is the energy that can be extracted, generated and consumed without any significant negative impact on the environment, collected from renewable resources which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, tides and geothermal heat. It provides energy in four important areas: electricity generation, air and water heating / cooling, transportation, and rural energy services.Clean energy is one of the key pillars of sustainable development in that it helps reduce dependence on fossil fuel resources, provide opportunities for mitigating greenhouse gases, and serve the needs of the present without compromising the sustainability of future generations to meet their energy needs.Extensive reading111)Our electricity sector has gone through dramatic changes;2)We’re clearly in a time of unparalleled transformation;3) A clean energy future is one we want to make certain not to miss.21)Power plants like solar and wind ones require no fuel delivery;2)Don’t have to worry about air or water pollution, or water use, or catastrophicfailures;3)Be able to spend more energy dollars on people;4)Meet energy demand with less energy with efficient lighting, motors, andappliances.31)Clean energy means jobs in manufacturing, installation, servicing, etc.; it canmean revenues for communities and landowners who host renewable energy;2)People want healthy air and clean water for their communities and their kids;3)We can find leadership and support in a range of places and colors.41)There is plenty we can do for the grid.

As is shown in the chart, fossil fuels remain the principal energy sources, accounting for 87% of overall energy consumption in China. In contrast, renewable and nuclear energy make up only 4%, and the remaining 9% of energy comes from hydropower.The uneven distribution of different energy sources in the energy mix can also be seen within fossil fuels: coal constitutes 62% of the total, whereas only 6 percent of energy is generated from natural gas.2Obviously, a more balanced energy mix is needed for good reasons: environmental protection, sustainable development, energy security, and welfare of future generations. Specifically, we need to reduce the burning of fossil fuels, especially coal, so as to cut carbon emissions that lead to air pollutions and climate change. In the meantime, renewable energy like solar, wind, geothermal and bioenergy should be promoted to meet the increasing energy demand of society.。

2. Behaviorist
Behaviorists are people who believe in behaviorism. Behaviorism is a philosophical theory which believes that mental states can be analyzed in terms of publicly observable actions; in other words, behavior can be described and explained without reference to mental events or psychological processes. This school of thought tends to emphasize the external sources of behavior and dismiss the internal sources (the mind). The mind hence has no independent significance.
Discuss these questions with each other. Then read Text A to see how the writer might answer these questions.

我们用语言来分享经验，表达(传递？)价值观，交换想法，传播知识，传承文化。

事实上，对语言本身的思考也是至关重要的。

和通常所认为的不同的是，语言并不只是简单地反映现实，语言在具体描述事件的时候也在帮助我们建立对现实的感知。

研究生学术综合英语上册U n i t1-4课文及翻译全---请叫我雷锋Unit1Presenting a SpeechStephen Lucas Of all human creations, language may be the most remarkable. Through language we share experiences, formulate values, exchange ideas, transmit knowledge, and sustain culture. Indeed, language is vital to thinking itself. Contrary to popular belief,language does not simply mirror reality but also helps to create our sense of reality by giving meaning to events.Good speakers have respect for language and know how it works. Words are the tools of a speaker’s craft. They have special uses, just like the tools of any otherprofession. As a speaker, you should be aware of the meanings of words and know how to use language accurately, clearly, vividly, and appropriately.Using language accurately is as vital to a speaker as using numbers accurately is to an accountant. Never use a word unless you are sure of its meaning. If you are not sure, look up the word in a dictionary. As you prepare your speeches, ask yourself constantly, “What do I really want to say? What do I really mean?” Choose words thatare precise and accurate.Using language clearly allows listeners to grasp your meaning immediately. You can ensure this by using familiar words that are known to the average person and require no specialized background; by choosing concrete words in preference to more abstract ones, and by eliminating verbal clutter.Using language vividly helps bring your speech to life. One way to make your language more vivid is through imagery, or the creation of word pictures. You can develop imagery by using concrete language, simile, and metaphor. Simile is an explicit comparison between things that are essentially different yet have something in common; it always contains the words “like”or “as.”Metaphor is an implicitcomparison between things that are different yet have something in common; it does not contain the words “like” or “as.”Another way to make your speeches vivid is by exploiting the rhythm of language. Four devices for creating rhythm are parallelism, repetition, alliteration, and antithesis. Parallelism is the similar arrangement of a pair or series of related words, phrases, or sentences. Repetition is the use of the same word or set of words at the beginning or end of successive clauses or sentences. Alliteration comes from repeating the initial consonant sounds of close or adjoining words. Antithesis is the juxtaposition of contrasting ideas, usually in parallel structure.Using language appropriately means adapting to the particular occasion, audience, and topic at hand. It also means developing your own language style instead of trying to copy someone else’s. If your language is appropriate in all respects, your speech is much more likely to succeed.Good speeches are not composed of hot air and unfounded assertions. They need strong supporting materials to bolster the speaker’s point of view. In fact, the skillfuluse of supporting materials often makes the difference between a good speech and a poor one. The three basic types of supporting materials are examples, statistics and testimony.In the course of a speech you may use brief examples —specific instances referred to in passing — and sometimes you may want to give several brief examples in a row to create a stronger impression. Extended examples —often called illustrations, narratives, or anecdotes —are longer and more detailed. Hypotheticalexamples describe imaginary situations and can be quite effective for relating ideas to the audience. All three kinds of examples help to clarify ideas, to reinforce ideas, or to personalize ideas.To be more effective, though, they should be vivid and richly textured.Statistics can be extremely helpful in conveying your message, as long as you use them sparingly and explain them so they are meaningful to your audience. Above all, you should understand your statistics and use them fairly. Numbers can easily be manipulated and distorted. Make sure that your figures are representative of what they claim to measure, that you use statistical measures correctly, and that you take statistics only from reliable sources.Testimony is especially helpful for student speakers, because they are seldom recognized as experts on their speech topics. Citing the views of people who are experts is a good way to make your ideas more credible. When you include testimony in a speech, you can either quote someone verbatim or paraphrase their words. As with statistics, there are guidelines for using testimony. Be sure to quote or paraphrase accurately and to cite qualified unbiased sources. If the source is not generally known to your audience, be certain to establish his or her credentials.The impact of a speech is strongly affected by how the speech is delivered. You cannot make a good speech without having something to say. But having something to say is not enough. You must also know how to say it. Good delivery does not call attention to itself. It conveys the speaker’s ideas clearly, interestingly, and withoutdistracting the audience.There are four basic methods of delivering a speech: reading verbatim from a manuscript, reciting a memorized text, speaking with PowerPoint, and speaking extemporaneously, or impromptu. The last of these － speaking extemporaneously －is the method you probably will use for classroom speeches and for most speeches outside the classroom. When speaking extemporaneously, you will have only a brief set of notes or a speaking outline. Speaking with PowerPoint is widely used now andvery effective indeed.Certainly there are other factors you should consider, such as personal appearance, bodily action, gestures, eye contact, volume, pauses and so on. By paying enough attention to what is mentioned above, you may present an effective speech.第一单元如何发表演说斯蒂芬·卢卡斯在人类创造的万物中，语言可能是最卓越的一项创造。

2. Behaviorist
Behaviorists are people who believe in behaviorism. Behaviorism is a philosophical theory which believes that mental states can be analyzed in terms of publicly observable actions; in other words, behavior can be described and explained without reference to mental events or psychological processes. This school of thought tends to emphasize the external sources of behavior and dismiss the internal sources (the mind). The mind hence has no independent significance.
