新探索研究生英语（提高级）unit1passage2Directions:Water scarcity【不足；缺乏】is becoming an increasingly serious problem in many countries. According to the UN World Water Development Report 2020, 2.2 billion people around the world do not have access to safely managed drinking water. 【全世界22亿人没有办法获得安全管理的饮用水】What can people do to solve water shortage problems? Read the text and find out how vegetarianism, desalination【海水淡化】, cloud seeding【云中散播（促进降雨的技术）】, and reducing water consumption in manufacturing sector might relate to solving the problem.Thirstier than ever1 Water covers approximately 75% of the Earth's surface, yet only 3% of it is drinkable; the rest is salt water. Of the little that isglaciers. According to Kummu et al. (2010), roughly a third of the world's population is at risk from water scarcity, and population growth is only exacerbating the issue【世界上约有三分之一的人缺水，人口增长只会加速这一问题】. Not only does our species need water to survive, we also rely heavily on it to water our crops【农作物crop的复数】and sustain our livestock—people typically drink around five liters【公升】 of water per day, while agriculture accounts for【占……比例】the majority of global fresh water consumption. In some parts of the world, water scarcity severely 【非常严重地；严厉地】limits food production capabilities. Coumou and Rahmstorf (2012) have also forecast that climate change will increase precipitation variability【降水量变率】 (i.e. the frequency of rain), raising the risk of flooding and drought that blight food production. So, what solutions are available to ensure a consistent and stable fresh water supply?2 The agricultural sector accounts for approximately 70% of global fresh water consumption—double that of industrial and domestic use combined. While more efficient irrigation practices could reduce this volume by an estimated 30%–70%, cutting consumption of animal products【动物制品】for【为了】less water-intensive crops would also have a perhaps unexpectedly significant impact. Some people advocate【提倡】 a switch to a vegetarian or vegan diet on the basis that【在此基础上】the production of meat is much more water-intensive than the production of grains and vegetables. Mekonnen and Hoekstra (2012) estimated that on average, 10,412 liters of water are required for the production of one kilo【千克】of lamb. Goat requires around 5,521 liters per kilo, poultry【家禽】 4,325 liters per kilo, and beef approximately 15,400 liters per kilo. The variations in water consumption are largely due to the animal feed required. Some animals are much more water-intensive to produce and thus their water footprint【占用空间；覆盖区】 is higher. When we compare these meats to a range of【一系列；许多的】 vegetables we can see that, in general, the cultivation of vegetables is far less water-intensive【耗水量】—cabbage requires 237 liters per kilo, and tomatoes a mere 214 liters per kilo. Based on this evidence, it is clear that a switch to a vegetarian or even vegan【纯素食主义】 diet would dramatically reduce the amount of water consumed by agriculture. However, in virtually【几乎】every country apart from India, the percentage of vegetarians equates to【相当于】 less than 10% of the total population. This casts some doubt as to whether thissolution could work as there would need to be huge cultural shifts in dietary attitude.3 In areas regularly stricken by water shortages, but wealthy enough to address the issue, desalination—the removal of salt from seawater—offers a viable solution. The most common method of desalination is reverse osmosis【逆向渗透】. Salt water is forced through an ultrathin【超薄的】, semi-permeable membrane, trapping salt molecules【盐分子】 and other toxins【毒素toxin的复数】 on one side. The result is fresh, drinkable water, yet the sheer volume【巨量的】of pressure required makes it an energy-intensive process. In addition, despite claims to the contrary, desalination is fairly inefficient. According to the International Desalination Association, 18,426 desalination plants produced a mere 86.8 million cubic meters【亿立方米】 of water per day in June 2015, only enough water to meet the needs of 1% of the world's population. Desalinated water also comes at a high price. At $3 per cubic meter, it costs around double that of traditional purification methods such as sedimentation【沉积净化】. However, according to Professor Raphael Semiat, the costs vary greatly depending on location (Johnston, 2015). For example, it can be far more expensive and energy-intensive to pump fresh water from 200 kilometers away, than it would be to desalinate and use water on the coast. While desalination is arguably a necessary solution in some countries, in others, such as northern Europe, it would make much more sense to focus on reducing the volume of wastewater. As droughts are rarely an issue in these regions, such an expensive and energy-intensive method of water purification makes little sense.4 Another new, and perhaps more controversial, solution tothe fresh water crisis is a form of weather-modification【人工影响天气】 known as cloud seeding, a technique that aims to boost rainfall by stimulating production of ice crystals in clouds. Essentially, particles of potassium chloride, sodiumbonds with the chemical particles to form ice crystals, which【驱散】 clouds. Proponents【支持者；建议者】 argue that cloud seeding offers an inexpensive and energy-efficient alternative to desalination. In the UAE, Dr. Habib of the National Center of Meteorology and Seismology recently argued that studies suggest rain enhancement programs could increase rainfall by 10%–30% (Pennington, 2017). However, while research into cloud seeding is ongoing, the technique has garnered【获得了】 its fair share of criticism. In fact, the United States National Academy of Sciences (2003) stated that 30 years of research showed no convincing evidence that it worked. This is primarily because you cannot use the technique to actually generate clouds and it is impossible to conclusively demonstrate that the clouds that have been treated wouldn't have produced rainfall anyway. Essentially, you cannot extract moisture 【提取水分】from the air if it isn't there to begin with, meaning the technique simply isn't viable on cloudless days or during periods of drought.5 One final solution is to reduce water consumption in the manufacturing sector. In the US, just under 5% of fresh water issound like a fairly insignificant percentage, but the volume of water it equates to is staggering—for example, the United States Environmental Protection Agency estimates that it takes 39,090 gallons of water to manufacture a single car. One way to reduce consumption is to seek alternative sterilization methods【消毒方法】 such as CO2 cleaning, which uses CO2 recycled from other industries in place of water to allow for【使……成为可能】 "dry-cleaning in an eco-friendly manner" (Wikstrom, 2015). While CO2 cleaning has been used for decades in the aerospace and automotive industries, it has unfortunately not been rolled out to the manufacturing sector as a whole. Another way to reduce the industrial water footprint is to recycle more. It's estimated that recycling just one newspaper saves around 3.5 gallons of water. Buying second-hand clothes would also help because, for example, it takes over 100 gallons of water to produce a single cotton T-shirt.6 Global water consumption has reached unsustainable levels. If we do not modify our behavior, billions of people will be plagued【困扰；折磨】by water scarcity. To put it simply, fresh water shortages are likely to cause the next great global crisis. In the words of Jean Chrétien, former Canadian prime minister and co-chair of the InterAction Council, "The future political impact of water scarcity may be devastating … using water the way we have [done] in the past simply will not sustain humanity in future."1. Why does the world's population still face water scarcity even though water covers most of the Earth's surface?Although most of our planet is covered by water, only 3% ofit is drinkable fresh water. Of the fresh water, 99% is inaccessible as it is buried beneath the world's glaciers. As the world's population is growing rapidly, coupled with the growth of water consumption in agriculture and manufacturing, the fresh water supply has reached an unsustainable level. Thus, the world's population is still facing water scarcity.2. Why may the solution of switching to a vegetarian or vegan diet not be viable?It is true that switching to a vegetarian or vegan diet can reduce water consumption, as the production of meat is much more water-intensive than the production of vegetables. However, asking people to consume less (or no) meat means asking them to significantly change their dietary habits or even culture. As most of the population in almost all countries are not vegetarians, the feasibility of switching dietary habits is doubtful.3. Can desalination be applied widely to address water shortage issues? Why or why not?Desalination cannot be applied widely to address water shortage issues, at least not right now. First, desalination is a capital-intensive process, meaning that it costs lots of money. When a place cannot afford it financially, even if this place is located in coastal areas, desalination is not a viable option. Second, desalination is fairly inefficient. The water produced by 18,426 desalination plants around the world can only meet the needs of 1% of the world's population. Therefore, desalination can only be applied in certain areas where there is a balance between investments and rewards.4. Based on the text, what are the major ways of reducing water consumption in manufacturing?The author mainly mentions two ways to reduce waterconsumption in the manufacturing sector. One way is to use alternative sterilization methods, such as carbon dioxide cleaning. This will save water and make sterilization more eco-friendly. The second way is to recycle more. Recycling more products means that few new products will be produced, and thus less water will be consumed.5. How does the author increase the persuasiveness of this article?The author uses a number of strategies to increase the persuasiveness of this article. First, the author mainly explains from a third-person perspective. By avoiding using first-person perspective often, third-person perspective increases the objectivity of the whole article. Second, the author uses statistics and research to support major arguments. By appealing to logic, the author makes these arguments more convincing. Third, the author uses language cautiously and precisely and does not oversimplify or overgeneralize problems and solutions. For example, in the sentence "While desalination is arguably a necessary solution in some countries …," the adverb "arguably" is a hedging word, showing that the author uses words cautiously and does not oversimplify the solution.。

新探索研究生英语(提高级)读写教程u2Here is an essay on the topic of "New Exploration of Graduate-Level English (Advanced) Reading and Writing Curriculum" with a word count of over 1000 words, written in English without any additional titles or punctuation marks.The pursuit of knowledge and the continuous expansion of one's intellectual horizons are the foundations upon which the academic journey is built. As students progress through the educational system, the demands placed upon their linguistic and analytical capabilities become increasingly complex and multifaceted. This is particularly true for those embarking on the path of graduate-level studies, where the acquisition and application of advanced English proficiency becomes a crucial determinant of success.The graduate-level English (advanced) reading and writing curriculum presents a unique set of challenges and opportunities for students. At this stage, the focus shifts from the foundational language skills developed during undergraduate studies to a more nuanced and specialized approach to the English language. The curriculum must not only address the need for enhanced reading comprehension and writing proficiency but also cultivate the criticalthinking and research skills necessary for thriving in the rigorous academic environment.One of the primary objectives of the graduate-level English (advanced) curriculum is to equip students with the ability to engage with complex academic texts, both in terms of content and linguistic complexity. This involves developing strategies for efficient and effective reading, such as the ability to identify key ideas, analyze underlying arguments, and synthesize information from multiple sources. Additionally, students must learn to navigate the various genres of academic writing, including research papers, literature reviews, and scholarly articles, each with its own conventions and stylistic requirements.The curriculum must also place a strong emphasis on the development of advanced writing skills. At the graduate level, students are expected to produce well-structured, cohesive, and persuasive written work that demonstrates a deep understanding of the subject matter and a mastery of academic discourse. This entails not only the refinement of grammar, syntax, and vocabulary but also the cultivation of critical thinking and rhetorical skills. Students must learn to craft compelling arguments, effectively incorporate and cite sources, and communicate their ideas with clarity and precision.Moreover, the graduate-level English (advanced) curriculum shouldfoster the development of research skills. As students progress through their studies, they are often required to undertake independent research projects, which necessitates the ability to locate, evaluate, and synthesize relevant scholarly sources. This process involves not only navigating various information databases and library resources but also the ability to critically analyze and interpret research findings.To achieve these objectives, the curriculum must be designed with a balance of theoretical and practical components. Classroom instruction should provide students with a solid foundation in advanced English language concepts, such as discourse analysis, genre-specific writing conventions, and research methodologies. However, the curriculum should also incorporate ample opportunities for hands-on practice, including peer review, writing workshops, and collaborative research projects. This blend of theory and practice helps to ensure that students not only acquire the necessary knowledge but also develop the skills to apply it effectively in their academic and professional pursuits.Furthermore, the graduate-level English (advanced) curriculum should be adaptable and responsive to the evolving needs of students and the academic landscape. As the demands of higher education and the job market continue to shift, the curriculum must be regularly reviewed and updated to ensure that it remains relevantand effective. This may involve incorporating emerging technologies, interdisciplinary approaches, and innovative pedagogical strategies to enhance the learning experience and better prepare students for the challenges they will face in their future endeavors.In conclusion, the new exploration of the graduate-level English (advanced) reading and writing curriculum is a critical component of the academic journey. By cultivating advanced language proficiency, critical thinking skills, and research capabilities, this curriculum empowers students to navigate the complexities of graduate-level studies and beyond. Through a balanced approach of theoretical instruction and practical application, the curriculum can equip students with the necessary tools to excel in their academic pursuits, contribute to the advancement of knowledge, and ultimately, realize their full potential as scholars and leaders in their respective fields.。

I think that covers all the questions I had about your résumé.Now I’d like to ask you some more general questions. First, why do you thinkwe should hire you for this position?Ken: Well, I have three years of work experience as a manager with a proven record of strong performance in my former company’s New York office. I know Iwould be able to bring out the best in your staff and help your company reachits goals.Interviewer: OK. Now, let me ask you this: What do you feel is your greatest strength? Ken: I’d say my greatest strength is my emotional intelligence. I’m able to gauge others’ moods and emotions from their tone of voice and body language. Interviewer: Very good. Now, let me turn that around: What would you say is your greatest weakness?Ken: That’s a great question. I’d say it’s not keeping up with the latest project management software. Once I get comfortable with one system, I prefer not tochange. But I plan to start taking more online tutorials to get familiar with thelatest programs.Interviewer: That sounds like a good plan. So, where do you see yourself five years from now?Ken: One reason I’m applying for this position is that I’m looking for greater management challenges. After proving myself in this position, I’ll be able totake on even more exciting challenges as an experienced manager. Interviewer: That shows admirable ambition.

AScriptsAs many of our students are approaching graduation, today I’m going to talk about the issues you should pay attention to when looking for your first job. First, you should start with a self-assessment of your skills, values, and interest. Work with a career counselor on this, because it’s difficult to be objective when working alone.Once you’ve done your self-assessment, you can explore your career options and career paths. This process can be time-consuming. It involves reading about careers and talking to professionals in the fields that interest you. Informational interviews or even casual conversa-tions might be helpful. If you’re really serious about a career, consider job shadowing or an internship.Next, you can target companies for your job search. There are several aspects to consider. For example, look for companies that focus on employee development. In addition, investigate the rewards that companies offer. The quality of the company is important, too. It should look good on your résumé for future jobs.When you try to identify particular positions, there are many considerations concerning re-wards. Is the salary sufficient for your needs? Is the benefits package competitive? Remember that these may depend on the location. A salary that funds a great lifestyle in Buenos Aires might be too low to live on in Paris. And here’s a final piece of advice: Don’t fall into the so-called “salary trap” by looking for a higher, steady salary instead of a lower salary at, say, a tech start-up that might soon increase dramatically, resulting in much higher incomes in the long run.2. Questions:1. What can you do to explore your career options and career paths?2. According to the speaker, why should you avoid taking a job at a low-quality company?3. When you weigh the benefits package, what factor should you take into consideration?L ANGUAGE IN FOCUSU SAGE2.

But take a break for just a minute and listen to this. Here are three jobs you can apply for that seem too fun to be real!First, there’s a large Italian ice cream company that hires people to develop and taste new flavors. These so-called “flavor gurus” do research and take customer suggestions to get ideas for the next delicious flavor. A food science degree or related training is required. They usually eat at least two pints of ice cream at work every week ‒ and even more at home! Or, how would you like to have a beautiful Caribbean island all to yourself? As an island caretaker, you can. When wealthy island owners fly off on their private planes, they hire someone to take care of their residence. Caretakers might need to do some gardening, cleaning, or repair work, but most of their time is free. If you love nature and don’t mind being alone, why not apply?Finally, how about hugging giant panda cubs for a living? The China Conservation and Re-search Center for the Giant Panda needs panda nannies. The nannies will spend all their work-ing hours with these wonderfully cute animals, holding, feeding, and playing with them.

I’m Matt, I work in virtual reality and this is how you get my job.That’s recording …At Animal we make a lot of films, and because we need to check how the films look on a big screen, we have our own cinema. Awesome! When I was growing up I always loved films, always loved ah animation especially, and for some reason it never occurred to me that that was an actual job, that people could be paid to do that. I still have to kind of pinch myself every day. I say, I, I, I … I get paid, it’s my actual job, to make things like, like a virtual Lego Batman, it’s… . So Animal’s been around for a while, so we’ve got lots of cool trophies over here, got a jukebox over there, everyone loves a jukebox.The best thing about my job is that I’m always learning. When I first started this job I started as a character animator, so I was making characters move and dance and talk; but then I fell into doing effects, did that for a while and then virtual reality came along.So, virtual reality: imagine you had a screen that you could strap on your head and the screen knew exactly where your head is at any point in time. And the thing is, when I put this on myhead it doesn’t just feel like looking at a screen, it feels like I’m inside a space, inside a room, inside a virtual room and that's what virtual reality is.And the clothes, yeah, because I do more, cute. That. T hat’s it. T hat’s it. T hat’s what I want.It’s only really been around for maybe a couple of years, but if you think of all the kinds of things that you might be able to do from just being here with a computer, rather than having to physically go to a place. So I could virtually go to a classroom on the other side of the world, or I could watch an operation happening. I could do so many things because I don’t have to physically be somewhere; but right now i t’s mainly games.So my typical day’s pretty various: I’ve done virtual owls that look pretty real, I’ve done talking holograms for Avengers, I’ve done Batman, Lego movies, I’ve had to come up with virtual Lego rain, all kinds of strange things.So, getting into VR specifically: there are university courses starting to appear, but by the same token you can learn a lot of this stuff by yourself. So the Internet is a fantastic resource: there’s all kinds of learning material out there, so that can be as simple as Photoshop, or that can be doing 3D programs; all the principles you can learn from stuff you can just download onto your home computer really easily.My top 3 tips for getting into this industry would be:∙Step 1, learn to draw; you don’t have to draw great, but just get comfortable with the idea of drawing and showing your work to others.∙(Step 2), get comfortable with Math; you don’t have to be amazing at Math, but just good enough that you can follow along.∙And step 3 would be get used to making pictures on a computer; if you can think of your computer as a big pencil, and you just get comfortable with that process, that’s a really good start.…I’m gonna take a selfie on that background, selfie node, arms up …Thanks for coming, and see you at the movies.L ISTENING 2V OICE OF C HINA2. Answers43. Answers1. returning to; abroad2. indicates; optimistic3. reverse culture shock; adapting to4. recruit; campusesScriptsAccording to the Ministry of Education, more young Chinese people than ever are returning to China after completing their studies abroad. The number of people returning from overseas increased from about 100,000 in 2009 to over 500,000 in 2018, and that figure is expected to rise.These people have various reasons for coming back. A recent survey indicates that being op-timistic about China’s future is the most important reason. They also mentioned being close to family, accessing China’s booming job market, and enjoying the comfort and convenience of the Chinese lifestyle.Once back in China, these people find both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, their knowledge of foreign languages, cultures, and management makes them valuable to companies that do business internationally. On the other hand, they may experience some-thing known as “reverse culture shock”, which means they have difficulties adapting to the domestic job market and Chinese workplace culture.These people who’ve studied abroad have made a lot of contributions in various industries. By virtue of their broad knowledge and international experience, they have been placed in positions to bring new management concepts. Moreover, some companies listed on foreign stock exchanges are either run or funded by people who returned from abroad. As such, Chi-nese students are warmly welcome back home after completing their studies abroad. Some Chinese companies even recruit young Chinese people on foreign university campuses.F URTHER LISTENINGC ONVERSATION1. Answers1. A2. A3. B4. DScriptsCharles: Hi, Kiki!Kiki: Hi, Charles. What’s up?Charles: I’m heading toward the career counseling center. Graduation is a year away, and I’m not sure whether to get a job or continue on and get my Master’s. Have you given itany thought?Kiki: Oh, yes! I’ve done tons of research. I read that there are plenty of job openings for people like us getting a Bachelor’s in computer science. You don’t need a Master’sdegree to get a job, but, of course, if you do, it would have some advantages. Charles: Like what?Kiki: Well, people with a Master’s get paid more in the long term. For example, the average yearly salary of an employee with a Master’s in computer science is about15,000 dollars more than that of one without it.Charles: Hm. That’s a lot.Kiki: It is. Besides, doing a Master’s will usually require you to do research. That is a valuable experience that can benefit you for your whole career.Charles: Hm. Maybe you’re right. Although I heard that some companies even pay for your Master’s degree studies.Kiki: That’s true. Some companies do offer support for tuition.Charles: That would be great. I’m starting to think I’ll go directly to a company. What about you?Kiki: I’m probably going to get a Master’s first. I really enjoy studying, and I want to learn more specialized skills. I’m particularly interested in cybersecurity. Plus, it’ll helpme get a management position and move up the corporate ladder as quickly aspossible.Charles: That’s great! I think you’d make a fantastic manager.Kiki: Thanks, Charles! That’s very nice of you to say so.Questions:1. What does the woman say about getting a Master’s degree?2. What did the man hear about some companies?3. Why is the woman interested in getting a Master’s degree?4. Which of the following is true about the woman and the man?P ASSAGE 12. Answers1. C2. C3.DScriptsAccording to a recent study, the use of AI in recruitment is predicted to grow over the next five years. This will help to improve the recruitment process by scanning résumés, automating interviews, and removing bias in candidate assessment.The huge number of résumés that corporations receive is nearly impossible for a human to go through. AI-powered résumé-screening software, however, can review thousands of résumés in seconds.The software checks résumés and searches for relevant information. It also removes sources of bias by assessing a candidate without referring to their gender, age, or even name. The software identifies desirable employee characteristics by comparing candidates’ résumés with those of successful professionals.Another innovation is AI-powered interview software. The software asks questions and analyzes the answers, even evaluating a candidate’s voice to decide whether the individual is being honest. Although it is currently only an initial step in the hiring process, recruiters find it helpful for interviewing, assessing, and hiring candidates.AI in recruitment still faces challenges. Many recruiters don’t trust AI yet, and AI sometimes follows the biases in existing systems, such as hiring from particular universities. However, many believe that the advantages of AI in recruitment outweigh the disadvantages.Questions:1. What can we learn about AI from the news report?2. How can AI-powered interview software decide whether someone is telling the truth?3. What is the problem that AI in recruitment faces?P ASSAGE 23. Answers1. D2. C3. A4. CScriptsGraduation is approaching, and many of you will be beginning your job search. Interviews are a central component of the recruitment process. You already have some general ideas about face-to-face interviews. In today’s workshop, we’re going to review three specific types.First, there is the candidate group interview, where several candidates are interviewed simul-taneously to allow the interviewer to assess how you interact with others. You should expect role-plays and group activities to test your social and leadership skills. To make a good im-pression, don’t be shy, and treat the other candidates as partners, not rivals. Listen to them carefully, and respond to what they say, just as if you were members of a team.Second,a panel or committee interview involves one candidate and several interviewers. It’s crucial to connect with them all because they all have a say in the hiring decision. Therefore, learn their names and their positions, ideally before the interview. This will help you to focus on each interviewer in turn as you speak and respond appropriately to their questions and also help you to make a connection.Finally, some high-pressure industries conduct stress interviews to test how candidates perform under pressure. The interviewer might ask you, “How do you think this interview is going?” or suddenly ignore you. Whatever happens, remember it’s a test and that the interviewer is probably a nice person. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, express yourself clearly, and, above all, keep your cool.Questions:1. In which type of interview is teamwork important?2. What does the speaker suggest for a panel interview?3. According to the speaker, what might happen in a stress interview?4. What is this introduction mainly about?P ASSAGE 34. Answers1) on the back2) a coffee shop3) 35 times4) fancy pink font5) Japanese paperScriptsI’ve been a recruiter for over 20 years, and I must have reviewed close to a million résumés. I think I’ve seen every mistake possible. Let me tell you about a few.I don’t think all résumés should follow exactly the same pattern, but they should follow cer-tain guidelines. I once received a résumé that seemed to have no address. By chance, it fell off my desk, and I saw the contact information on the back! Bad idea! It should be clearly visible near the top of the first page.I remember another résumé for an accounting position. The work experience section included the top accounting firms in Australia and New Zealand. I was impressed until I got to the end, where the candidate included a college job in a coffee shop. You should remove irrelevant work experience. It doesn’t help and gives the impression that you didn’t edit your résumé.I once reviewed the résumé of an excellent manager but was surprised to see that he used the word “I” 35 times in the work experience section. It’s repetitive and unnecessary. Since it’s your résumé, whoever is reading it knows that it is about you!Finally, a designer submitted a résumé in a fancy pink font on beautiful Japanese paper. Unfortunately, it was almost impossible to read. Hiring managers have limited time. That’s why we like clear résumés. Be careful using colors, unusual fonts or font sizes smaller than 11 points.。
