M2U3 Computers
The Computer
The goal of early calculating machines was to simplify difficult sum s. But with the help of new technology, electronic chip s replaced tube s and a revolution of artificial intelligence began to arise. From then on, the appearance of computers totally changed our lives. The can not only download information from the web when connected by the network of mobile phone signal s, but also solve different types of logical problems. With operator s as their coach es, they can even control rocket s to explore the moon and instruct android s with the human race’s character s to mop floors and watch over your naughty niece. Anyhow, computers are so helpful that they do bring happiness.
However, computers are easily attacked by virus es. This reality has become a problem which is hard to deal with. As a result, computers are dangerous in a way. So, personally, I worry about their universal application s in some fields, such as finance.
M2U4 Wildlife Protection
Protect Wildlife
Dinosaur s die d out because of an unexpected incident. But wildlife today disappears or is in danger just because humans are doing harm to it. For example, tigers are hunt ed for fur to make carpet s so that they can only live in secure reserve s; grassland is destroyed without mercy so that dust storms come into being affect ing distant cities.
Last year, scientists saw some monkeys rub bing themselves with a certain kind of insects to protect themselves from fierce mosquito es’biting. According to the result of the inspection, they found that the insect contain s a powerful drug. So local farmers were employ ed to catch the insects. The ending was that the insect disappeared from the whole zone. When told that it was a loss to humans, the farmers burst into laughter and respond ed, “Our real loss is our decreasing income.”
We should appreciate the natural balance and pay more attention to the importance of wildlife protection. Not until we succeed in letting wildlife live in peace, can we smile in relief.
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!
Welcome to Australia 欢迎到澳洲来 Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the Australian Day celebration and enjoy the barbecue. Then our travel along the highway winding down the Cradle Mountain via rusty rock barriers will let you see huge enclosures. Farmers have completed sowing. Owingto adequate rainfall, you’ll enjoy the splendour of the superb tropical agriculture as well. The fortnight timetables are in the travel brochures. The Commonwealth of Australia has six autonomous states. The federal government is responsible for its defence, foreign policy and taxation. Most citizens of this nation are migrants from different birthplaces. Often corresponding with their homelands, they associate Oceania with the world. The aboriginal reservations used to shrink because the authority snatched the land. These desperate people owed their survival to tolerance. So, out of respect for their ancestors, every bachelor will be talked into learning to protect heir heritage. Australian ecology is unique. Amongst the creatures, some are dangerous. For example, if your limb is paralyzed by a venomous funnelweb spider, go to see a doctor before you become unconscious. Remember, vinegar can’t help you recover from the sickness. Thank you.(174 words/53 new) 女士们先生们：欢迎参加澳洲日庆典，请享受我们的烧烤野餐。接着我们就会沿着蜿蜓下摇篮山的高速路，经过锈色岩石屏障前行，你将会看见巨大的围场。此外，农民们已经完成了播种，你还可以欣赏到充足降雨滋润下宏伟的热带农业所呈现的壮观。我们两星期的时间表在旅行手册里有。 澳大利亚有6个自治州，联邦政府负责防务、对外政策和税收。这个国家大多数的公民都是来自不同出生地的移民。由于经常与家乡通信联络，他们把大洋洲与世界紧密联系在一起。原著民的保留地曾经大量缩减，因为当局抢走了他们的土地，这些绝望的人们把他们的得以幸存归功于他们极大的忍耐力。因此，出于对祖先的尊敬，原著民中的每个单身汉都将被说服要学习如何保护他们珍贵的遗产。 澳大利亚的生态是独一无二的。在当地的生物中，有些是很危险的。例如，如果你的肢体被漏斗蜘蛛单板机痹，一定要在失去意识前去看医生。记住，醋是不能帮助你从这样的疾病中康复的。谢谢大家！

新概念优美背诵短文50篇unit13 Skyscrapers and Environment >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
Strange Patent Applications 奇怪的专利申请 I set about working in the current Patent Office after resigning from the court personnel. Competent and dynamic, I never feel passive while diving into the identification s of whether applications are valid and practical according to the new version of the criteria. With the expectation of distinguish ing their own importance, some people leave the beaten track and file strange product s with us now and then, for example, lantern that can be attached on your forehead, cubic walnut s, refrigerator made of straw and glue, perfume that nobody can bear to smell, and so on. Once, a man made a triangle helicopter out of stainless wire s and string. He called us up and merrily claimed it was stable and convenient to use, and never out of order. I asked him to hang on, but this innocent man just rang off and set out to fly from his courtyard. I dial ed his number in the directory trying to ring him back, but never got through. Merciful God blessing, an abrupt freezing rainfall made his powder wet. Luckily, the trouble was without any extension except that he crashed into a greengrocer’s making all the ripe fruits become messy jam. When people seize d this crazy man with caution and sobered him by tap ping his face, he complained about the bad weather instead of associating his failure with his unscientific design. 从法院人事部辞职后，我开始在现在的专利局工作。我工作起来既称职又有活力，在投身于根据新版的申请标准鉴定专利申请，以防他们无效或不实用时，我从未感觉到消极没劲。

史上最全记单词的文章！！！ 1、单词的英文解释和例句 例：The oppressed ____ freedom. [ A ] A. demand B. require C. request oppress→op+press press 挤，压→pressure 压力 op=against 因此oppressed为“压迫”的意思→oppressed 被压迫的 the+形容词表示一类人 “被压迫的人____自由”那么ABC选项应选择什么？ 这题就暴露出一个问题：我们是按汉语记单词的，ABC的中文意思中都有“要求”的意思。但是汉语只能大概的描述英文，不能百分之百的精准的解释英文。 我们看一下ABC的英文解释： demand：ask for firmly, unwilling to accept a refusal.强烈地要求，并不情愿接受拒绝require：the ruler set a rule with the expectation that it will be obeyed.统治者期望自己的命令规定会被遵守。（如老师要求你完成作业，老板要求你完成工作） request：ask for politely.礼貌地要求 单词的例句有两点好处： 1）一个好的例句是最能准确说明单词最本源含义的句子 2）给写作文的时候打下扎实的基础 “不满意”怎么说呢？第一想到satisfied→content大部分单词我们只能达到认识（第一重境界），却达不到会运用（第二重境界） 2、单词的熟词生意 late“死亡” house“坐落于”，如Beijing neworiental school is housed in Haidian district. tell“我能够看出来”正确的英文怎么说？I can tell. brave“勇敢地面对”，如国歌中的“冒着敌人的炮火，前进，前进，前进进”brave the enemies' gunfire, march on, march on, march on, on, on... 3、单词的发音 语音的基础是一个单词一个单词地读 postcard名信片，我们对单词的发音，并不敏感，只对单词的拼写和中文意思敏感 pig，第一反应就是“猪” 建设每天花5分钟时间跟读单词，读准后再背单词，这样单词才会背得立体 一、形象化记忆词汇的方法 人们对于图像的存储速度要远远高于对于语言符号的存储速度。 (1)chill名词“寒冷”，动词“使寒冷”. 把C想象成天空一弯明月，hill，小山的意思 (2)image名词“形象，印象” ma妈妈的感觉，age年龄，上了年纪，把i想象成一根红红的蜡烛 (3)spark名词“火花” park公园，把s想象成“嘶嘶嘶”的声音，夜晚的公园，响起“嘶嘶嘶”的声音，一堆浪漫的年轻人点燃烟火
高考语文专题复习：记练结合串记文化典籍文化常识 一、文史典籍 1.四书: 《大学》《中庸》《论语》《孟子》的合称。宋人抽出《礼记》中的《大学》《中庸》两篇,与《论语》《孟子》配合,至南宋淳熙年间,朱熹撰《四书章句集注》,“四书”之名由此而定。此后,“四书”始终是我国封建社会正统教育的必读书和科举取士的初级标准书。 2.五经: 《诗》《书》《礼》《易》《春秋》五部儒家经典的简称,始称于汉武帝时。其中存有中国古代丰富的历史资料,是封建时代教育的必读教科书,并被统治阶级作为宣传宗法封建思想的理论依据。 3.六经: 指的是六部儒家经典,即在“五经”外,另加《乐》,也有称“六经”为“六艺”的,韩愈《师说》中的“六艺经传皆通习之”中的“六艺”即“六经”。 4.十三经: 十三部儒家经典。唐代把“三礼”(《周礼》《仪礼》《礼记》)、“三传”(《公羊传》《穀梁传》《左传》),连同《易》《书》《诗》称为“九经”。至唐文宗刻石经,将《孝经》《论语》《尔雅》列入经部,则为“十二经”。宋代又将《孟子》提升为经,故有“十三经”之称。 5.《三字经》: 旧时广泛使用的蒙学课本。相传为宋代王应麟撰,明清学者陆续增补,至清初为一千一百四十字。内容从阐述教育的重要性开始,进而依次讲述名物常识、经书子书、历史知识及古人勤学的故事等。全部用三言韵语,便于儿童诵读。句法灵活丰富,语言通俗易懂。自编成后广为流传,一直使用至清末民初。 6.《千字文》: 旧时广泛使用的蒙学课本。南朝梁代周兴嗣编,梁武帝大同年间编成。全书将一千个字,编为四字一句的韵语,介绍有关自然、社会、历史、伦理、教育等方面的知识,基本上无重复的字。自隋代开始流行,至清末一直被广泛用作儿童识字课本。宋代以后,有种种续编和改编本,但都没有旧本流传得广泛、长久。 7.《千家诗》: 旧时蒙学读物。有《五言千家诗》《重订千家诗》两种。前者题“王相选注”;后者题“谢枋得选注”,为七言律诗。两种选本大都为唐、五代、宋作品,宋诗尤多。因入选之诗浅近易解,所以流传较广。 8.《唐诗三百首》: 诗歌总集。清代乾隆年间“蘅塘退士”孙洙编,实选唐诗三百一十首,分五古、七古、五律、七律、五绝、七绝及乐府诸体排列。选编的原意,本作为家塾课本。所选诗作大都艺术
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
