News report1

美国东海岸地区正在为一场暴风雪做准备,气象专家称这场雪是“历史性的”,尽管还没下雪。

风暴可能给华盛顿.、巴尔的摩和纽约带来暴风雪天气。到周日为止至少有15个州会迎来大雪。

气象官员预计降雪量在30到90厘米之间。他们预计风暴期间会有出现强风、冰冻和沿海洪灾。在周末风暴来临之前,在五金店和杂货店很难买到生活必需品。瓶装水、生火木材和雪铲供应有限。

“卖最快的是雪铲。我们没剩几把了。”德里克·斯塔顿说,他在弗吉尼亚的一个五金店工作。

华盛顿地区的学校在星期五关闭,为迎接风暴做好准备。联邦政府只要求其雇员星期五工作半天。国会大厦的公共交通系统将于星期五晚上关闭,直到周一早晨。

News report2

上周末,温斯顿飓风袭击斐济后,导致42人死亡,4人失踪,其中包括一名婴儿。

飓风温斯顿的风速达到每小时285公里以上。这是斐济有史以来最强的风暴。

斐济总理说,许多斐济灾民没有水喝,也失去了家园,更没有足够的食物和基本的服务。急救人员救助灾民时也面临许多困难,包括停电、倒下的电话线和路障。

政府官员已经关闭学校,直到星期一才开放。他们计划把这些建筑物用作无家可归者的庇护所。政府也解除了之前的宵禁。

然而,政府要求人们尽可能地限制活动。由于担心蚊虫数量的增加,政府还要求人们不要留下积水。爱太平洋联合国儿童基金会驻太平洋地区的发言人丽丝·克莱门茨说,斐济较小的村庄可能受灾最严重,由于他们的基础设施将很难抵御5级旋风的力量。

News report3

来自130个国家的领导人在联合国签署了历史性气候协议,这是他们去年十二月在巴黎达成一致的。

签字仪式于地球日第四十六周年纪念日举行。自1970以来,世界各地的人们每年都发起不同的活动以保护环境。由于气候变化会带来强风暴和海平面上升,岛国极易受到其影响。

比如说,太平洋岛国斐济。超级飓风温斯顿去年二月袭击了这个岛国,造成44人死亡,以及10亿美元的损失。斐济总理乔萨亚·姆拜尼马拉马谈到了他们对未来的恐惧:“飓风温斯顿等极端天气事件的频率和强度正在增加。这意味着什么,是我们都必须担心的,不仅是为了我们自己,也是为了我们的后代。

去年十二月,在巴黎的法国,世界领导人制定了历史性协议的细节。该协议规定了全球气温上升不超过2摄氏度。它提供了一种减少温室气体排放的途径,其中包括工厂污染和煤炭这类化石燃料的燃烧。

该协议呼吁采取措施来阻止地球变暖带来的影响。这包括使用可再生能源,如风能和太阳能或来自太阳的能源。

Dialogue One

保罗:萨拉,我非常期待每年三周的外出野营。明天非常适合远足。太自然多美妙呀。

在星空下露营,这才是生活。

萨拉:当然,可是,保罗,我很担心天气。天气预报员说今晚晚些时候有雨。

保罗:噢,这没什么。什么也不能阻止我们探险之旅。天气预报从来都不准确。

萨拉:而且他还预报了会有大风。

保罗:哦,不必担心。

萨拉:保罗,你听!打雷了。你记不记得要按我告诉你的那样带着雨衣以防万一?要下雨了。

保罗:哦,我忘了。我把它们落在前廊了

萨拉:哦,太糟了,雨好像要下大了,我们现在该怎么办?

保罗:我们就睡在车里吧,快上车!

萨拉:那么,保罗,我们现在做什么?

保罗:玩纸牌游戏怎么样?

萨拉:嗯,我把它们落在野餐桌子上了。额……你不会想让我跑出车外拿过来吧,是吧?

保罗:不会的,没关系。那现在怎么办?

萨拉:我们可以开车到山下,待在我们之前经过的旅店里,或者直接回家。

保罗:嗯,我们为什不待在这期待天晴?

萨拉:好主意。

Dialogue Two

女:明天我们有一个关于广告的讨论会,我必须参加。

男:听起来很有趣,我很想听听年轻人对广告的看法。

女:嗯,如果不看广告我们就不知道要买什么东西。

男:是的,当然,某种程度上是这样。广告提供了我们需要的信息。如果有人制造了新产品,卖家自然而然地就会想告诉我们。

女:是的,广告告诉我们那种产品最好。

男:是吗?我不这样认为。所有的制造商都会说他们的产品最好,或是努力给我们留下深刻的印象。只有一个是最好的,其它的都在误导我们。

女:嗯,我同意此点。但是我们不是非得相信他们,不是吗?

男:你是在说广告都无效吗?我不认为哪个聪明的商人会花大笔钱在广告上,如果他们没用的话,你说呢?

女:也许不会,但是别忘了。他们花的是自己的钱。

男:是吗?我不这么想。产品价格包括广告费了。你、我以及其他所有买这个产品人都支付了广告费。

女:嗯,我觉得我们是花钱得到了一些东西——比如信息。

男:是的,但是别忘了,这通常是误导信息,有时候甚至有害。

Passage A

漂流瓶最重要的用途是寻找洋流。当得知水流的位置和方向时,船舶可以顺着水流的前进方向,或者远离使其偏离航线的水流。本杰明·富兰克林是第一批使用瓶子研究水流的人之一。他想知道英国的邮政船为什么要比美国的船要多一到两个星期才能穿越大西洋。富兰克林认为墨西哥湾流可能会解释这种差异。

富兰克林和美国船长沟通。他发现他们知道墨西哥湾流的每一个转弯处。他们以各种可能的方式使用水流。从与船长的谈话中,富兰克林绘制出了墨西哥湾流的第一张地图。然后

他用密封的瓶子检查他的地图。至今,他最后绘制的地图仍被使用,而且很少出现改动。

PassageB

通过总部位于瑞士的世界野生动物基金会(WWF),中国正在齐心协力拯救濒危动物大熊猫。成都官员指出,结果是好坏不一,但令人振奋。

显然令人失望的是,如果熊猫生活受到限制,它们的数量就会减少。另一件事是没有找到一种天然的、现成的食物来代替竹子。

尽管有这些失败,但取得了两项成就。一个成就是物理救援工作。一些熊猫采食在偏僻地区种植新竹子和在山上散布大量的熟肉而存活下来,熊猫将这些肉作为竹子的替代品。四川有些地区的野生动物也被当地农民解救,并得到兽医的紧急治疗。

第二项成就是大笔捐款。大量关于大熊猫困难处境的消息再次带来了十万美元的捐款,这笔捐款来自世界自然基金会和国内外独立基金会。

PassageC

气球用于体育运动已经有一百年了。气球有两种:燃气气球和热空气气球。热气球比燃气气球更安全,后者可能会着火。在美国,大多数气球驾驶者都喜欢热气球,因为它们比较安全。与燃气气球相比,它们更便宜,更容易操纵。虽然操作气球很容易,但是飞行员必须仔细观察天气。体育气球飞行最好在清晨或下午晚些时候,那时候风小。多年来,许多气球驾驶者都曾试图横渡大西洋。直到1978,有三名美国气球驾驶者成功。他们只花了六天的时间就从在美国的家里飞到法国巴黎。他们的航行激发了全世界人们的想象力。

能看、能听、有知觉、具嗅觉、会说话的智能汽车?还能自动驾驶?这听起来或许像是在做梦,但计算机革命正致力于把这一切变为现实。 智能汽车 1 Even the automobile industry, which has remained largely unchanged for the last seventy years, is about to feel the effects of the computer revolution. 即便是过去70年间基本上没有多少变化的汽车工业,也将感受到计算机革命的影响。 2 The automobile industry ranks as among the most lucrative and powerful industries of the twentieth century. There are presently 500 million cars on earth, or one car for every ten people. Sales of the automobile industry stand at about a trillion dollars, making it the world's biggest manufacturing industry. 汽车工业是20世纪最赚钱、最有影响力的产业之一。目前世界上有5亿辆车,或者说每10人就有1辆车。汽车工业的销售额达一万亿美元左右,从而成为世界上最大的制造业。 3 The car, and the roads it travels on, will be revolutionized in the twenty-first century. The key to tomorrow's "smart cars" will be sensors. "We'll see vehicles and roads that see and hear and feel and smell and talk and act," predicts Bill Spreitzer, technical director of General Motors Corporation's ITS program, which is designing the smart car and road of the future. 汽车及其行驶的道路,将在21世纪发生重大变革。未来“智能汽车”的关键在于传感器。“我们会见到能看、能听、有知觉、具嗅觉、会说话并能采取行动的车辆与道路,”正在设计未来智能汽车和智能道路的通用汽车公司ITS项目的技术主任比尔?斯普雷扎预言道。 4 Approximately 40,000 people are killed each year in the United States in traffic accidents. The number of people that are killed or badly injured in car accidents is so vast that we don't even bother to mention them in the newspapers anymore. Fully half of these fatalities come from drunk drivers, and many others from carelessness. A smart car could eliminate most of these car accidents. It can sense if a driver is drunk

unit2课文翻译The Virtues of Growing Older

The Virtues of Growing Older (长大变老有好处) Our society worships youth. Advertisements convince us to buy Grecian Formula and Oil of Olay so we can hide the gray in our hair and smooth the lines on our face. Television shows feature attractive young stars with firm bodies, perfect complexions, and thick manes of hair. Middle-aged folks work out in gyms and jog down the street, trying to delay the effects of age. 我们所处的社会崇尚年轻。连篇累牍的广告劝我们买希腊配方的洗发水和玉兰油,这样的话,白发无处可寻,面部的皱纹也能被抚平。电视节目上尽是体魄强健,肤色无暇,头发浓密的年轻明星。而中年人则在体育馆里锻炼,在马路上慢跑,尽量不让岁月过早地留下痕迹。 Wouldn't any person over thirty gladly sign with the devil just to be young again? Isn't aging an experience to be dreaded? Perhaps it is unAmerican to say so, but I believe the answer is "No." Being young is often pleasant, but being older has distinct advantages. 不是所有三十出头的人都会为了重获青春而心甘情愿地与魔鬼订立合约吗?长大变老难道不可怕吗?说它不可怕可能不是美国人的回答,但我却认为长大变老不可怕。青春年少令人愉悦,但长大变老也有明显的好处。 When young, you are apt to be obsessed with your appearance. When my brother Dave and I were teens, we worked feverishly to perfect the bodies we had. Dave lifted weights, took megadoses of vitamins, and drank a half-dozen milk shakes a day in order to turn his wiry adolescent frame into some muscular ideal. And as a teenager, I dieted constantly. No matter what I weighed, though, I was never satisfied with the way I looked. My legs were too heavy, my shoulders too broad, my waist too big. When Dave and I were young, we begged and pleaded for the "right" clothes. If our parents didn't get them for us, we felt our world would fall apart. How could we go to school wearing loose-fitting blazers when everyone else would be wearing smartly tailored leather jackets? We could be considered freaks. I often wonder how my parents, and parents in general, manage to tolerate their children during the adolescent years. Now, however, Dave and I are beyond such adolescent agonies. My rounded figure seems fine, and don't deny myself a slice of pecan pie if I feel in the mood. Dave still works out, but he has actually become fond of his tall, lanky frame. The two of us enjoy wearing fashionable clothes, but we are no longer slaves to style. And women, I'm embarrassed to admit, even more than men, have always seemed to be at the mercy of fashion. Now my clothes ---- and my brother's ---- are attractive yet easy to wear. We no longer feel anxious about what others will think. As long as we feel good about how we look, we are happy.

Unit1 The Dinner Party 关于男人是否比女人更勇敢的一场激烈争论以一种颇为出人意料的方式解决了 The dinner party 晚宴 1. I first heard this tale in India, where is told as if true—though any naturalist would know it couldn’t be. Later someone told me that the story appeared in a magazine shortly before the First World War. That magazine story, and the person who wrote it, I have never been able to track down. 我最初听到这个故事是在印度,那儿的人们今天讲起它来仍好像确有其事似的——尽管任何一位博物学家都知道这不可能是真的。后来有人告诉我,在第一次世界大战之前不久,一家杂志曾刊登过这个故事。但登在杂志上的那篇故事以及写那篇故事的人,我却一直未能找到。 2.The country is India.A colonial official and his wife are giving a large dinner party. They are seated with their guests—officers and their wives, and a visiting American naturalist—in their spacious dining room, which has a bare marble floor, open rafters and wide glass doors opening onto a veranda. 故事发生在印度。某殖民地官员和他的夫人正举行盛大的晚宴。筵席设在他们家宽敞的餐室里,室内大理石地板上没有铺地毯;屋顶明椽裸露;宽大的玻璃门外便是走廊。跟他们一起就坐的客人有军官和他们的夫人,另外还有一位来访的美国博物学家。 3. A spirited discussion springs up between a young girl who says that women have outgrown the jumping-on-a-chair-at-the-sight-of-a-mouse era and a major who says that they haven't. 席间,一位年轻的女士同一位少校展开了热烈的讨论。年轻的女士认为,妇女已经有所进步,不再像过去那样一见到老鼠就吓得跳到椅子上;少校则不以为然。 4. "A woman's reaction in any crisis, "the major says, "is to scream. And while a man may feel like it, he has that ounce more of control than a woman has. And that last ounce is what really counts." 他说:“一遇到危急情况,女人的反应便是尖叫。而男人虽然也可能想叫,但比起女人来,自制力却略胜一筹。这多出来的一点自制力正是真正起作用的东西。” 5. The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the native boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen:he quickly leaves the room. 那个美国人没有参加这场争论,他只是注视着在座的其他客人。在他这样观察时,他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。她两眼盯着正前方,脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势,对他耳语了几句。男仆两眼睁得大大的,迅速地离开了餐室。 6. Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bowl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors. 在座的客人中除了那位美国人以外谁也没注意到这一幕,也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的走廊上。 7. The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing—bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. He looks up at the rafters—the likeliest place—but they are bare. Three corners of the room are empty, and in the fourth the servants are

Unit 2 Friendship Text A All the Cabbie Had Was a Letter 摘要: 老朋友天各一方,你心有何感?你是否努力保持联系?有时候写信的事很容易会一拖再拖,总以为明天有的是时间。然而,正如这则故事所表明的,有时我们拖得太晚了。也许读一读这个故事会让你提起笔来。 出租车司机拥有的就剩一封信 福斯特?韩克洛 他准是完全沉浸在所读的东西里了,因为我不得不 敲挡风玻璃来引起他的注意。 他总算抬头看我了。“你出车吗?”我问道。他点点 头,当我坐进后座时,他抱歉地说:“对不起,我在读 一封信。”听上去他像是得了感冒什么的。 “我不着急,”我对他说。“你接着把信读完吧。” 他摇了摇头。“我已经读了好几遍了。我想我都能 背出来了。” “家书抵万金啊,”我说。“至少对我来说是这样,因为我老是在外旅行。”我估量他有六七十岁了,便猜测说:“是孩子还是孙子写宋的?” “不是家里人,”他回答说。“不过,”他接着说,“想起来,也可以算是一家人了。 埃德老伙计是我最老的朋友了。实际上,过去我俩总是以‘老朋友’相称的——就是说,当我俩相见时。我这人就是不大会写东西。” “我看大家写信都不那么勤快,”我说。“我自己笔头就很懒。我看,你认识他挺久了吧?” “差不多认识了一辈子了。我俩小时候就一起玩,所以我俩的友谊确实很长了。” “一起上的学?”. “都一起上到高中呢。事实上,我俩从小学到高中都在一个班里。” “保持这么长久友谊的人可真不多见啊,”我说。 “其实呢,”司机接着说,“近25到30年来,我跟他一年只见一两次面,因为我从原来住的老街坊搬了出来,联系自然就少了,虽说你一直放在心上。他在的时候可真是个大好人。” “你刚才说他‘在的时候’。你是说——?” 他点了点头。“前两个星期过世啦。” “真遗憾,”我说。“失去朋友真不是个滋味,失去个真正的老朋友更让人受不了。” 他开着车,没有接话儿。我们沉默了几分钟,可我知道他还在想着老埃德。他又开口时,与其说是跟我说话,还不如说是自言自语:“我真该一直保持联系。真的,”他重复道,“我真该—直保持联系。” “是明,”我表示赞同,“我们都该与老朋友保持更多的联系。不过总是有事情冒出来,好像就是抽不出空来。”
