Unit 3 Translation of the TextsMain Reading:化学计量学对食品安全的影响恰当应用信息技术会有奇效John R. Joyce 摘自《科学计算》食品安全，或者说是潜在缺乏安全，是我们时常关注的话题；各类媒体更是在这方面做足了文章。

不管是因为食品传播疾病的爆发还是因为类似三聚氰胺的化学污染，食品召回事件似乎没完没了。

然而，很多情况下，这种风险通常是被夸大了的，可能是因为评级，也可能是因为担心责任。

这并不是说接触到受污染食品不会对健康造成严重伤害，而是说为了把受污染食品撤出市场，召回范围通常是扩大了的。

这样做的原因可能有很多，但主要原因之一就是通常无法及时追踪到污染源而不能把未污染的类似产品在市场保留。

在食品安全中恰当应用实验信息技术能为极大改变这种现状，但也应该认识到这也不是能解决所有食品安全问题的金钥匙。

我们可以实验信息技术看成是一块多面的宝石，每个面代表不同的信息系统。

没有哪个单一方面比其他的方面重要。

但是，结合在一起，他们就能变成光芒四射的珠宝，引导我们一路解决这个问题。

尽管有人试图对这个系统进行分类，但所有分类都不是很严格的，因为它们大多有功能的重合。

尽管我们没有足够的空间对所有这些方面做深入的介绍，以下列出的是我们可能遇到的各类实验信息系统的非互斥的分类清单：•实验信息管理系统•分析自动化/色谱分析数据系统•科学数据管理系统•生产工艺控制•化学计量•跟踪系统•质量管理系统这些系统有的是为了生产高品质食品，有的为了分析食品样本并储存分析结果，有的为了利用这些结果来评估食品质量和安全。

然而，虽然每个系统都可以是独立的，但最佳效果还是这些系统相互结合在一起的。

我们最近检查了很多类似的数据系统，我们的讨论就仅限于化学计量。

根据国际纯化学与应用化学联盟的维基介绍，化学计量学是“是一门应用数学或统计学方法把对化学系统或工艺的测量数据与系统的状态相联系的科学，是多元实验设计与建模工具在化学领域的应用。

Unit 1一小步，重返我们的始发地阿波罗登月任务本应揭示月球的真相，但实际上却让我们更了解了地球和人类自身。

1969年7月，尼尔·阿姆斯特朗和巴兹·奥尔德林刚从月球返回。

人们给他俩播放了录像短片，上面记录了全世界对登月的反响。

他俩看到美国新闻主播沃尔特·克朗凯特在擦拭泪水；从中国到巴西，人们簇拥在电视机前；电视机专卖店外的人行道上也挤满了敬畏不已的观众。

奥尔德林转向阿姆斯特朗说：“尼尔，我们错过了整场好戏。

”这一评论让人想起乔治·哈里森（甲壳虫乐队成员之一）的抱怨。

他说，甲壳虫乐队觉得自己是局外人，因为“我们是唯一无缘看到‘甲壳虫’演出的人”。

奥尔德林的话揭示了阿波罗任务的一个惊人事实：它们不是关于月球，而是关于地球。

登月背后的思考从登月任务实施之初，即阿波罗8号飞船的成员作为第一批飞离地球的宇航员时就初露端倪了。

当他们在1968年平安夜围绕月球飞行时，他们真正好奇的不是飞船下方的死寂晦暗的月球，而是远方那个鲜活蔚蓝的地球。

这三个人，是第一批近距离俯瞰月球的地球人，他们心里油然而生一股崇敬之情，因为他们是第一批从浩瀚穹宇眺望地球的宇航员。

目睹地球从月平线上升起，他们觉得自己很渺小。

他们向全世界亿万听众诵读《圣经·创世纪》的开篇，结束时问候大家：“圣诞快乐，上帝保佑你们，地球人！”在随后的四年里，阿波罗任务教会我们作为人类意味着什么：一句话，永不满足现状。

好奇心没有穷尽，它只是不断找到新目标。

这一转变有多快，彼得·康拉德可谓感受良多。

他是月球行走第三人（也是第一个在月球上摔倒的人）。

一旦阿姆斯特朗和奥尔德林摘得首次登月的桂冠之后，没有人再对阿波罗12号感兴趣了。

康拉德后来和其他过了气的美国名人一起出现在美国运通金融公司的广告中，其中包括为兔八哥配音的梅尔·布兰科。

然而，从诸多方面看，康拉德参加的探月飞行是所有阿波罗任务中最有趣的一次。

新核心大学英语读写教程2答案【篇一：新核心大学英语读写教程2课文翻译】比恩回地球后，会经常去购物中心坐坐，只不过是惊诧于人类生活的精彩纷呈。

他再没像以前那样抱怨天气：“我很高兴地球上有天气变化。

”通常，去往未知世界的旅程会让旅行者更了解自己的家园，而不是目的地。

“登月应该是最重要的啊。

”我说：“为什么呢？我才是真正经历过的人啊。

”也许人生就是一块写着“油漆未干”的大告示牌：在你伸手触碰之前，你是不会相信的。

？然而一旦回家，这一循环又开始了。

比恩从美国航空航天局退休后成了一名画家。

他把自己当宇航员时的感悟融入他关于月球景色的绘画中。

比恩想法很好地总结了阿波罗任务乃至所有人类探索活动的实质：去哪里并不重要，重要的是认识你自己。

“每个宇航员归来后都越发像从前的自己。

我想与其说成功改变了一个人，不如说成功显示了他的本真。

”庆祝登月40周年的最大缘由不是科学的、环境的或者政治的，而是个人的。

下次，如果你沿着一条小径去找它的尽头，或是为了让宝宝破涕为笑，只得开车带他去兜风时，别忘了曾站在月球上凝望地球的12名宇航员。

正如艾略特写的那样：我们的探索永不停歇，而所有探索的终点，是回归我们的起点，发现一个全新的世界。

1、 the apollo missions were supposed to reveal the truth about the moon. in fact, they taught us about earth and ourselves. (l1)阿波罗登月任务本应揭示月球的真相，但实际上却让我们更了解了地球和人类自身。

电视机专卖店外的人行道上挤满了敬畏不已的观众。

4、 that comment (reminiscent of george harrison?s complaint, that the beatles felt left out because “we were the only ones who never had the chance to see the beatles”) reveals the surprising truth about the apollo missions.5、 the clues had been there from the start, when the crew of apollo 8 became the first humans to leave their planet.登月背后的思考从登月任务实施之初，即阿波罗8号飞船的成员作为第一批飞离地球的宇航员时就初露端倪了。

Unit 1Main Reading ----拥有自己头脑的机器如果任其自由发展，有些机器可以学得更聪明，在一些最需要脑力的任务方面甚至会超越人类。

人类能否建造出可以演变得更好并可以超出人们想象而发明解决方案的机器吗？利用计算蛮力方法，计算机现在可以进行通行的国际象棋游戏。

1997年，IBM的一款名为深蓝的超级计算机击败了卡斯帕罗夫。

世界冠军认为这次经历如同与顶尖的人类挑战者对抗一样艰难。

阿蓝图灵，战时英国谜团破译密码工作背后的数学天才，于20世纪50年代设立了人工智能的标准，而深蓝的行为至少达到了其中的一个。

然而，深蓝的成功并没有给人工智能界留下深刻的印象，那是因为这台机器的创举仅仅在于运算速度快于其他任何以前的计算机。

巨大的处理能力可以使它预测到向前推进的棋步多达30个，而且它聪明的编程可以计算出数百万的可能的棋步中哪一步会加强它的位置。

但就本身而言，深蓝所能做的，而且出色完成的仅仅是数学。

它不能为象棋游戏制定自己的战略。

但是如果深蓝被赋予一种演变的能力，使用反复试验的经历学会完善自身，会怎么样呢？一种名为“演化硬件”的新技术正试图这么做。

和深蓝一样，演化硬件也是通过尝试几十亿个不同的可能，寻求解决方案。

区别在于，和深蓝不同，演化硬件不停地调整和完善它的搜索算法，而这也正是找到解决方案所需的逻辑步骤。

它每次都选择最好的，并加以尝试。

而且，它所作的一切不是根据编好的指令，而都是自动完成的，。

传统观念长期认为一个机器的能力是受限于创造者的想象力。

但是在过去的几年里，演化硬件的前驱已经成功地建造了一些可以自行调整并且表现更佳的设备。

有些情况下，后来出现的机器甚至超出了创造者的能力。

例如，在电路设计领域，对几十年来人类束手无策的一些问题，演化硬件却找出了创造性的解决方案。

演化硬件首先需要硬件可以重新配置。

如果一个设备不能调整形状或调整做事方法，它是不可能演变的。

拿一把瑞士军刀为例，如果要完成开启瓶子的任务，使用者要确认刀具中合适的工具，然后打开刀具，再把设备转变成一个可以敲开瓶盖的用具。

people gathered around televisions from china to brazil; pavements outside tv shops crammed as people watched in awe.2、aldrin said, “neil, we missed the whole thing.” because aldrin thought that they were the only ones who never had the chance to see themselves carrying out the moon-landing mission.3、their real wonder was at the vibrant blue earth in the distance, not at the dead gray planet beneath them4、to be human means to be restless. curiosity is never satisfied. it merely finds new targets.5、al bean would simply marvel at the variety of human life.6、they felt deeply that the earth is both beautiful and fragile. the earth needs more care and protection7、the apollo missions gave a big boost to green movement. the apollo missions had deep and lasting effect on many environmentalists. an or ganization called “friends of the earth” was founded after the astronauts first walked on the moon. the inaugural earth day happened a year later.8、the greatest reason to celebrate the 40th anniversary of moon landing is personal, because the celebration is a good opportunity for everyone on the earth to think more about his responsibility in protecting and prospering this planet. 二1、they are of great help to cut down the amount of toxins, which are by-products of the consumption of energy.2、solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, hydroelectricity, and biofuels.3、solar energy, wind energy and hydroelectricity.4、it never has a constant speed or direction.5、the advantages of biofuels are that they contain no petroleum, and they are nontoxic and biodegradable.三1、problems simply arise when we expect or assume the opposite sex should think, feel or act the way we do.2、men and women shall first understand the ways they are different, then accept their differences, and live their lives fully and as skillfully as possible. they must avoid trying to change others to suit their needs.3、women are usually more concerned about how problems are solved than merely solving the problem itself. the process of solving a problem can strengthen or weaken a relationship. for men, how the problem is solved is not nearly as important as solving it effectively and in the best possible manner. they are often distracted and do not attend well to the quality of the relationship while solving problems.4、while w omen take a broad or “collective” perspective, and view elements in a task as interconnected and interdependent, men tend to focus on one problem at a time or a limitednumber of problems at a time, and view elements in a task as less interconnected and more independent.5、while women have an enhanced ability to recall memories that have strong emotional components, men tend to recall events using strategies that rely on reconstructing the experience in terms of elements, tasks or activities that took place.6、men feel closer and validated through shared activities. women, on the other hand, feel closer and validated through communication, dialogue and intimate sharing of experience, emotional content and personal perspectives.四1、a hacker usually break s into other people’s computers and makes a computer do what hewants whether the computer wants to or not.2、the two senses of “hack”, whether it is a compliment or an offence, have something in common: they both break the rules3、no, they don’t. it is because the motive of hackers—intellectual curiosity—is totally different from the usual criminal motives.4、outsiders, including hackers, make great contributions to the development of the next generation of computer technology5、it is because they will strangle the innovative and creative spirit of americans and eventually will do harm to the whole nation.6、it means people’s behavior and thinking pattern are confined to rules in those countries五1、it is a car powered by compressed air.2、hybrids are only marginally less polluting than the most efficient combustion engines.hydrogen power is expensive and impractical. fuel cells are expensive and unproven. besides, electric cars are reliant on expensive, ueliable battery technology.3、compared to electric cars, air-powered cars cost a fraction of the price to buy, they don’t need expensive batteries to bereplaced every five years or so and crucially they take only a fraction of the time to recharge.4、air power has a real chance of putting a rocket up the $200 million-a-year global auto industry, radically improving the quality of urban life and making a serious dent in global carbon emissions in the process.5、the cars are made of fiberglass, which is lighter and 10 times stronger than steel.6、the technique of air-powered cars will be licensed for use in many countries, and negre wants it to be used to power aircraft.七1、social animals make two sorts of choices: consensus decisions in which the group makes a single collective choice, as when house-hunting rock ants decide where to settle; and combined decisions, such as the allocation of jobs among worker bees.2、consensus decisions are described in condorcet’s “jury theorem” as follows. if each member of a jury has only partial information, the majority decision is more likely to be correct than a decision arrived at by an individual juror. moreover, the probability of a correct decision increases with the size of the jury.3、before a colony of honeybees migrates, scouts are sentout to search for new nest sites and report back using a waggle dance to advertise suitable locations. the longer the dance lasts, the better the site is. after a while, other scouts start to visit the sites advertised by their compatriots and, on their return, also perform more waggle dances. the process eventually leads to a consensus on the best site and the swarm migrates.4、the major factor contributing to bees’ ability to identify quickly the best site lies in the interplay of bees’ interdependence in communicating the whereabouts of the best site and their independence in confirming this information.5、the reason that honeybees can prevent such group-thinking that affects good decision-making as investors do in the stock market is that the swarm not only share the collection of information but also independently confirm it.conversely, there might be an inbuilt bias among people to copy one another when they come together to consider a problem.6、the experiment on ant migration shows that the dynamics of collective decision-making are closely entwined with the implementation of these decisions. it indicates that it is important to recruit active leaders to a cause so as to get others to follow.【篇二：新核心大学英语读写教程1翻译答案—unit1.2.3】1)many “intellectual ghosts” showed a total disregard for(表现出完全超越的态度)the accepted boundaries between different field of knowledge.2)da vinci made painstakingly precise observations of everything and put to use everything he learned(把一切学以致用). 3)many mit faculty members are crazy about multidisciplinary thinking (酷爱跨学科思考) . for example, professors from the climate science political science departments collaborate creatively with the subject of economics (创新地与经济学合作) to find solutions for the demand for new energy sources. 4)the second facet of da vinci’s character that fits with mit (与mit一致) is his respect for and curiosity of nature (他对大自然的敬重与好奇) ,both as a scientist andan engineer.5)students at first class universities will encounter a great many extraordinary teachers, perhaps the most stimulating minds and inspiring models (最激情飞扬的大师和启迪智慧的楷模) they will ever know.6)there is a good chance that the students will never live and work in a communitywith as rich as many different cultures and backgrounds (大批不同文化与背景者) asthey will at mit.3.translate the following chinese sentences into english.1)大学新生将会发现大学是一个启迪他们研究、学习、成长的地方。

Unit One New Campus, New LifeⅠ. Pre-listening ActivitiesChoice 1略Choice 2There are pros and cons of living on campus.Pros Cons1. Accessibility to the school 1. Little privacy2. Increased social life 2. Limited space3. Possible low GPA (grade point average)■ScriptThere are pros and cons of living on campusPros1. Accessibility to the school. If you live on campus, you can easily walk to the classes, libraries, computer labs, cafeterias, etc. You don’t have to waste time and money on driving to school, finding a parking space, and so forth.2. Increased social life. Living on campus will allow you to meet more people and establish more friendships than living off campus. You will also usually be aware of any campus activities and how to be involved in them.Cons1. Little privacy. When living in a dorm, it can be very hard to find privacy. You have to share bedrooms, bathrooms, etc. You may never have quiet time in your dorm because there will always be something going on.2. Limited space. At most colleges, the dorm rooms are tiny. You have to limit what you bring to school, or your space will be too crowded.3. Possible low GPA (grade point average). Because dorm life is very social, your grades may be affected in a negative way. If you constantly choose hanging out with your dorm buddies over studying at the library, then your GPA will suffer.Ⅱ.

D■ScriptNews Item OneQuestions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.In New York City public schools, 176 different languages are spoken among the more than 1 million students.For 160,000 children, English is not their first language. New York’s Department of Education makes learning better for these students by providing dual-language programs.Students are taught in two languages, English and another one, like Russian or Chinese. Math, social studies, science and all other regular courses are taught in both languages. And they learn about the culture of the other country.Milady Baez is Deputy Chancellor of English Language Learners and Student Support. She says these dual-language programs will help children succeed in the future.“The jobs of the future require that our students know more than one language. They are going to be traveling abroad; they are going to be communicating with people from all over the world. This will open doors for them.”Questions:1. How do New York public schools make learning better for students whose first language isnot English?2. What will help children succeed in the future according to Milady Baez?News Item TwoQuestions 1 and 2 will be based on the following news item.A growing number of American universities are dropping the entrance exam requirement. More than 800 universities now allow students to apply without a SAT or ACT test score. The SAT and ACT are the two major college entrance tests in the United States.Fo r years, colleges have used these tests to help measure an applicant’s academic skills. But more universities are becoming “test optional”. Students who apply to test-optional schools can choose whether they want to include test scores in their applications.George Washington University in Washington D.C. is one of the latest schools to adopt a test-optional admissions policy for most of its applicants. It is the largest private university to drop the test requirement.Karen Stroud Felton is the Dean of Admissions at George Washington University. She said in a statement that the university “had concerns that students who could be successful... felt discouraged from applying if their scores were not as strong as their high school performance.”Questions:1. What is the big change of American universities according to the news?2. Which of the following statements about George Washington University is TRUEaccording to the news?News Item ThreeQuestions 1 to 3 will be based on the following news item.Almost 900,000 international students are studying in American colleges and universities today. Nearly half of this record number of foreign students are from Asia, mainly China.They are among people from other countries who now make up about 4 percent of all university students in the U.S. America has more of the world’s 4.5 million international studentsthan any other country. A new report says more than 886,000 foreign students registered at U.S. universities during the school year 2013-2014. That is an increase of eight percent over the year before. The Institute of International Education and the State Department made the report.The study also demonstrates trends over the past 15 years. It shows that since 2000, the number of international students in the U.S. has grown by 72 percent. Students from China in undergraduate programs are mainly responsible for this trend.Questions:1. How many international students in the U.S. come from Asia?2. From 2013 to 2014, how many foreign students registered at U.S. universities?3. Which country is mainly responsible for the rapid increase of international students in the U.S.since 2000?Task 2 Understanding Long ConversationsConversation One1. D2. A3. C4. B5.

I was just wondering about how to spend my free time on weekends.W: C ome on, you won’t regret about joining the V olunteers’ League. It’s different from other student’s clubs or unions.M: What’s the difference?W: The V olunteers’ League often offers free services for grand occasions, such as Olympic Games, World Expo. Isn’t that special?M: Not really. I’d rather join the Entrepreneurs’ Club, so my experience will be helpful when I look for jobs in the future.W: That’s also a good choice. But the Entrepreneurs’ Club just hold some boring activities, you know, speeches, competitions…M: But you can learn a lot of things from the activities and it’s related to our major.W: You can also learn a lot in the V olunteers’ League.

That’s it exactly!W: I’m not following you.M: Excuse me, but you were talking about keeping up with your work, keeping on schedule.That’s my problem. I can never seem to keep up with all my responsibilities, no matter how hard I try. And next year I’d like to try working part-time for some more spending money. If I can’t manage my time, I won’t be able to do either well.W: Well, consider these tips for time management. First, don’t bite off more than you can chew.You’d better make a reasonable plan which is achievable.M: I thought I was doing that now.W:Chances are you’re not using your time efficiently, Tony. Remember, too, “work when you work, and play when you play.” Divide your day and night into two or three hour periods when you can concentrate on either studying or working. Don’t let yourself be interrupted by anyone.M: I see what you mean. A lot of times I’ll j oin my friends in going out after only an hour of studying.W:And if you plan your time week by week rather than day by day, you’ll find you have more time than you thought.

You hear of this horror tale before even stepping foot on a college campus. So what exactly is the freshmen 15? Legend says that during your freshmen year of college, you end up gaining around fifteen pounds. Is this simply a story told to scare young freshmen, or a reality?The bad news is that a noticeable weight gain does occur among college students. However, the good news is it’s not as drastic as fifteen pounds. Food served in the dining halls is laden with fats while exercise in college has become a true burden. It is difficult to schedule a workout session among the already busy schedule filled with classes, clubs, homework, and organizations. Here at USC, the professors like to pack their students with work upon work, so students can truly “eat the fruits of the knowledge tree.” For an average student, it is considered a celebration if you could simply finish all your homework on time and sleep before 2 a.m. With that said, who cares about exercise?Listening for specific comprehension1. According to the passage, what does “15” refer to?2. How is the food like in the college’s dining halls?3.
