One thinks of successes in medicine in the fight against disease, such as the invention of antibiotics and the promise held out by advances in biogenetic engineering. On a broader scale, one thinks of man's success in harnessing new forms of energy from steam power through oil to nuclear power.Yet, nature has often hit back in unexpected ways to these attempts to tame it. New forms ofAppendix I - 98-disease that are resistant to antibiotics are constantly developing. Burning fossil fuels has led to fears of global warming; while nuclear power has produced dangerous waste that will remain a hazard for generations to come.However, perhaps to talk of man triumphing over nature is the wrong way to look at the matter. We need to find ways to work with nature rather than forever fighting against it.(154 words)Unit 2Text org. Ex. 2 On P381. Smart cars can see, hear, feel, smell, talk, and act;2.

Students are provided with opportunities to practice speaking in different contexts, such as giving presentations, participating in group discussions, and engaging in role plays. Through these activities, students enhance their speaking fluency, accuracy, and confidence. They also receive feedback from their teachers and peers to help them identify areas for improvement. The speaking topics cover a wide range of subjects, allowing students to express their opinions and ideas effectively.Developing reading skills is the main focus of the third level of the course. Students learn various reading strategies, such as skimming,scanning, and predicting, to improve their reading speed and comprehension.

Students learn different writing techniques, such as brainstorming, outlining, and editing, to help them effectively express their ideas in writing. They are introduced to various types of writing, such as essays, reports, and letters, and practice writing on different topics.

Besides writing independently, students also engage in peer editing and receive feedback from their teachers to further improve their writing skills.Throughout the course, students are provided with ample opportunities to practice their English language skills both inside and outside the classroom. They are encouraged to engage in meaningful conversations, read extensively, listen to English podcasts or videos, and write regularly.

The largest group, the Han, makes up over 91% of China’s population. As the majority of the population is of the Han ethnic group, the other 55 ethnic groups are customarily referred to as the national minorities. The Han people can be found throughout the country, though mainly on the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the Yangtze River and the Pearl River valleys, and the Northeast Plain. The national minorities, though fewer in number, are also widely dispersed throughout China, often inhabiting important border regions from northeast China to north, northwest and southwest China. Equality, unity and common prosperity are the fundamental principles of China’s government in handling the relations between different ethnic groups. Meanwhile, China exercises a policy of regional autonomy for various ethnic groups, allowing ethnic groups living in compact communities to establish self-government and direct their ownaffairs.•Unit TestsUnit Test - I1-5: BDADB6-10: CBACA11-15: CBDAD16-20: CDDBCUnit Test - II1-5: BCCBC(6)C. insecure (7)G. compare(8)H. influence (9)J. impact(10)L. post(11)M. surveyed (12)I. negative (13)O. participants(14)D. preoccupation(15)A. establish16-20: DCBDA21-25: CCADAU2•Textbook StudyListening1)habit of living2)profound changes3)human activities4)extinction events5)human agricultural technology 6)domesticating7)cultivate plants8)intimate knowledge9)familiar with10)human companionsText B1)spreading the word about “the crisis facing these social, sensitive, passionately intense, playful, complex, exceedingly intelligent and endangered creatures”.2)their sizes and species.3)they are quite consciously together, each pacing herself to the other’s gait and waiting for the other to catch up.4)stood vigil outside the building, knowing that her friend was inside.5)saw past the things they didn’t have in common and found in each other common ground enough•CET-Oriented StudyListening1、B2、A3、C4、D5、C6、A7、D8、AReading Comprehension(1)G(2)A(3)F(4)J(5)B(6)K(7)C(8)H(9)I(10)BParagraph Translation(翻译参考)Chinese martial arts may be traced back to prehistoric times when Chinese ancestors used stones and wooden clubs in hunting for subsistence and self-defense. It is recorded in the history that there were people specializing in martial arts during the periods of Spring and Autumn and the Warring States, and considered it as a theory to maintain good health and applied it in wars when necessary. The martial arts are either bare-handed or weapon-in-hand practice or performance according to certain sets. Generally speaking, modern martial arts consist of such five categories as boxing, weapon exercises, sparring exercises, actual combat and teamwork. The five categories can be further divided into different schools or styles. The martial arts play positive roles in strengthening the body, developing the potential of the body, tempering people’s will power and even curing difficult and complex cases of illness. They are a precious national cultural legacy of China.•Unit TestsUnit Test - I1-5: BDADB6-10: BACAB11-15: DDACB16-20: DDADAUnit Test - II1-5: CBBAB(6)E. companion (7)A. affinity (8)L. disparity (9)G. species (10)F. infirmity (11)O. immobile (12)C. vigil(13)I. resumed (14)N. overwhelming (15)D. memorial16-20: BADCC21-25: BCABCU3•Textbook StudyListening1)long-term survival2)coordinate the relationship3)environmental goals4)promote this concept5)economic and political issues6)building materials7)architecture and ecology8)environmental effects9)the preservation10)enjoyment of future generationsText BPara. 1assemble a real building and structure a business Para. 2a critical architecturePara. 3a Paul Rudolph building in Boston and Richard Neutra’s Cyclorama Building in Gettysburg,Para. 4·wanting to save the entire building,·wanting to demolish it.Para. 5the protagonist in the battle to save or the antithesis to modern design.Para. 6emerges the richness of place and understanding of time.Para. 8experience and imagination,•CET-Oriented StudyListening1、B2、A3、B4、B5、B6、B7、A8、CReading Comprehension(1)B(2)F(3)B(4)H(5)A(6)E(7)J(8)I(9)G(10)CParagraph Translation(翻译参考)The Ancient City of Ping Yao is one of the well-preserved ancient county-level cities in China.

The largest group, the Han, makes up over 91% of China’s population. As the majority of the population is of the Han ethnic group, the other 55 ethnic groups are customarily referred to as the national minorities. The Han people can be found throughout the country, though mainly on the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, the Yangtze River and the Pearl River valleys, and the Northeast Plain. The national minorities, though fewer in number, are also widely dispersed throughout China, often inhabiting important border regions from northeast China to north, northwest and southwest China. Equality, unity and common prosperity are the fundamental principles of China’s government in handling the relations between different ethnic groups. Meanwhile, China exercises a policy of regional autonomy for various ethnic groups, allowing ethnic groups living in compact communities to establish self-government and direct their ownaffairs.•Unit TestsUnit Test - I1-5: BDADB6-10: CBACA11-15: CBDAD16-20: CDDBCUnit Test - II1-5: BCCBC(6)C. insecure (7)G. compare(8)H. influence (9)J. impact(10)L. post(11)M. surveyed (12)I. negative (13)O. participants(14)D. preoccupation(15)A. establish16-20: DCBDA21-25: CCADAU2•Textbook StudyListening1)habit of living2)profound changes3)human activities4)extinction events5)human agricultural technology 6)domesticating7)cultivate plants8)intimate knowledge9)familiar with10)human companionsText B1)spreading the word about “the crisis facing these social, sensitive, passionately intense, playful, complex, exceedingly intelligent and endangered creatures”.2)their sizes and species.3)they are quite consciously together, each pacing herself to the other’s gait and waiting for the other to catch up.4)stood vigil outside the building, knowing that her friend was inside.5)saw past the things they didn’t have in common and found in each other common ground enough•CET-Oriented StudyListening1、B2、A3、C4、D5、C6、A7、D8、AReading Comprehension(1)G(2)A(3)F(4)J(5)B(6)K(7)C(8)H(9)I(10)BParagraph Translation(翻译参考)Chinese martial arts may be traced back to prehistoric times when Chinese ancestors used stones and wooden clubs in hunting for subsistence and self-defense. It is recorded in the history that there were people specializing in martial arts during the periods of Spring and Autumn and the Warring States, and considered it as a theory to maintain good health and applied it in wars when necessary. The martial arts are either bare-handed or weapon-in-hand practice or performance according to certain sets. Generally speaking, modern martial arts consist of such five categories as boxing, weapon exercises, sparring exercises, actual combat and teamwork. The five categories can be further divided into different schools or styles. The martial arts play positive roles in strengthening the body, developing the potential of the body, tempering people’s will power and even curing difficult and complex cases of illness. They are a precious national cultural legacy of China.•Unit TestsUnit Test - I1-5: BDADB6-10: BACAB11-15: DDACB16-20: DDADAUnit Test - II1-5: CBBAB(6)E. companion (7)A. affinity (8)L. disparity (9)G. species (10)F. infirmity (11)O. immobile (12)C. vigil(13)I. resumed (14)N. overwhelming (15)D. memorial16-20: BADCC21-25: BCABCU3•Textbook StudyListening1)long-term survival2)coordinate the relationship3)environmental goals4)promote this concept5)economic and political issues6)building materials7)architecture and ecology8)environmental effects9)the preservation10)enjoyment of future generationsText BPara. 1assemble a real building and structure a business Para. 2a critical architecturePara. 3a Paul Rudolph building in Boston and Richard Neutra’s Cyclorama Building in Gettysburg,Para. 4·wanting to save the entire building,·wanting to demolish it.Para. 5the protagonist in the battle to save or the antithesis to modern design.Para. 6emerges the richness of place and understanding of time.Para. 8experience and imagination,•CET-Oriented StudyListening1、B2、A3、B4、B5、B6、B7、A8、CReading Comprehension(1)B(2)F(3)B(4)H(5)A(6)E(7)J(8)I(9)G(10)CParagraph Translation(翻译参考)The Ancient City of Ping Yao is one of the well-preserved ancient county-level cities in China. Located in Ping Yao County, central Shanxi Province, the property includes three parts: the entire area within the walls of Ping Yao, Shuanglin Temple 6 kilometers southwest of the county seat, and Zhenguo Temple 12 kilometers northeast of the county seat. The design of this Ancient City shows the evolution of architectural styles and town planning in Imperial China over the past five centuries. Noteworthy are the imposing buildings associated with trading and bankingin the city, for Ping Yao was the major center for the whole China in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It retains all the Han city features, and provides a complete picture of the cultural, social, economic and religious development in Chinese history.

Ecological civilization, like material civilization, cultural and ethical civilization, and political civilization, is a historical concept. As such, ecological civilization is constantly undergoing a process of evolution from a lower stage to a higher stage as human civilization progresses. A comprehensive plan for the promotion of ecological progress was outlined in the political report to the Eighteenth National Congress of the CPC. The report clearly states that we must incorporate the idea of ecological civilization into every aspect of economic, political, cultural, and social progress; step up effortsto develop a resource-conserving and environmentally friendly society; and strive to build a beautiful China so as to realize lasting and sustainable development for the Chinese nation and make due contributions to global ecological security.•Unit TestsUnit Test - I1-5: CABDB6-10: AABAD11-15: ACBCA16-20: CDACBUnit Test - II1-5: CABCB(6)E. obtained(7)D. decaying(8)I. injecting(9)H. solidifies(10)C. available(11)F. eligible(12)B. routes(13)N. alternative(14)A. combined(15)G. protective16-20: BDADB21-25: CABCAU5•Textbook StudyListening1)gas emissions2)renewable energy3)ultimate source of energy 4)fossil fuels5)alternative energy6)mass transportation7)limited in supply8)our growing energy challenges9)diverse energy technologies10)destroy our environmentText B1)fossil fuelsglobal warmingatmospheric pollutants productioneconomic development hindrance2)renewable energyother alternative energy sources which are greener and renewable.3)the fossil fuelsit is derived from natural processes that are replenished constantly.4)it can reduce the reliance on exhaustible sources of fossil fuelsit is clean from the environmental point of view.•CET-Oriented StudyListening1、B2、D3、B4、C5、B6、C7、AReading Comprehension(1)E(2)B(3)I(4)A(5)D(6)G(7)J(8)F(9)C(10)HParagraph Translation(翻译参考)Traditionally, the Chinese love sports as an essential way for keeping fit as well as for entertainment.

It not only presents spectacular scenery, but also represents the Chinese pursuit of harmony between Heaven and mortals. Only the emperor could pray at the Temple of Heaven.

His voice was gentle; you could not imagine that he could possibly raise it in anger; his smile was benign. Here was a man fellows. At the same time he liked his game of cards and his cocktail, he could tell with point a good and spicy story, and in his youth he had been something of an athlete. He was a rich man and he had made 3e himself. I suppose one thing that made you like him was that he was so small and frai l; he aroused your instincts of protection. You felt that he could not bear to hurt a fly.Unit6A more successful remedy may lie in understanding the problem rather than evading it.Before the industrial revolution,people lived in small communities with limitedof their village,they could expect to know everything that was to be known,see everything that was to be seen,and do everything that was to be done.Today,being curious by nature,we still trying to do the same.But the global village is a world of limitless possibilities,and we can never achieve our aim.It is not more time we need: it is fewer desires.We need to switch off the cell-phone and leave the children to p lay by themselves.We need to buy less,read less and travel less.We need to set boundaries for ourselves,or be doomed to mounting despair.Unit7the point of going somewhere like the Napo River in Ecuador is not to see the most spectacular anything. It is simply to see what is there. We are here on the planet only once, and might as well get a feel for the place. We might as well get a feel for the fringes and hollows in which life is lived, for the Amazon basin, which covers half a continent, and for the life that –there, like anywhere else –is always and necessarily lived in detail: on the tributaries, in the riverside villages, sucking this particular white-fleshed guava in this particular pattern of shade.What is there is interesting. The Napo River itself is wide and brown, opaque, and smeared with floating foam and logs and branches from the jungle. Parrots in flocks dart in and out of the light. Under the water in the river, unseen, are anacondas --which are reputed to take a few village toddlers every year -- and water boas, crocodiles, and sweet-meated fish.Unit8Long before the Boeings brought down the towers, poet Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote "grief returns with the revolving year.”So it is with New York. The time it took t he Earth to circle the sun was time enough to clear the wreckage, but not enough to fade the memory of what happened there. It was time enough to bury the bodies that could be found, but not enough to truly mourn the thousands who perished. It was time enough to plan memorials,but not enough to fill the gaping wound in lower Manhattan. For what is a year but a thin sliver of history, a beat of a hummingbird's wing?。
Unit 1研究表明:在两性及众多文化中,长相好的人,特别是从青春期开始,往往被评价为具有出色的性格特质的人。
事情为何如此?有些人觉得,由于遇见外表迷人者和品德优良者都令人愉快,我们会不假思索地把这二者混为一谈。
但是,这一说法似乎并不客观。
西安大略大学(University of Western Ontario) 的桑波·保诺宁(Sampo Paunonen) 博士的研究发现,被形容为较诚实的人也会被认为更讨人喜欢,而越讨人喜欢的人,外貌也就更具吸引力。
Research has shown that in both sexes and across numerous cultures, especially from adolescence, good-looking people are often evaluated to be ones with exceptional personality traits.Why should this be so? Some people have perceived that since it is pleasurable to meet someone with attractive physical appearance and someone with good moral character, we automatically mix them up.But this statement does not seem to be objective. The studies by Dr. Sampo Paunonen of the University of Western Ontario reveal that people who were described as being more honest were rated as more likable, and the more likable, the more physically attractive.Unit 21960年简·古多尔开始了她在坦桑尼亚的贡贝溪国家公园对黑猩猩社群的研究。
由于没有专业的训练来指导其研究,古多尔观察到了可能会被严格的科学教条(doctrine)所忽视的东西。
她没有给进入观察的黑猩猩编号,而是给他们取名,如菲菲和灰胡子大卫,并发现他们具有独特的个性。
古多尔在贡贝溪的研究在科学界最为人称道的是,她的发现打破了当时人们长期存在的两个信念:只有人类才会制造和使用工具,以及黑猩猩是素食者。
Jane Goodall began studying the chimpanzee community in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania, in 1960. Without professional training to direct her research, Goodall observed things that strict scientific doctrines may have overlooked.Instead of numbering the chimpanzees she observed, she gave them names such as Fifi and David Greybeard, and found they had unique and individual personalities. Goodall’s research at Gombe Stream is best known to the scientific community for challenging two long-standing beliefs of the day: that only humans could make and use tools, and that chimpanzees were vegetarians.Unit 3天坛 (The Temple of Heaven) 是明、清两代皇帝“祭天”(offer sacrifices to the heaven)、“祈谷”(pray for good harvest) 的场所。
坛域北呈圆形,南为方形,寓意“天圆地方”。
四周环筑坛墙两道,把全坛分为内坛 (the Inner Altar)、外坛两部分,总面积273公顷,主要建筑集中于内坛。
内坛以墙分为南北两部。
北为“祈谷坛”(the Altar of Praying for Bumper Crops),用于春季祈祷丰年,中心建筑是祈年殿 (the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests)。
南为“圜丘坛”(the Circular Mound Altar),专门用于“冬至”(winter solstice)日祭天 (worship Heaven),中心建筑是一巨大的圆形石台,名“圜丘”(the Circular Mound)。
天坛集明、清建筑技艺之大成,是中国古建珍品,是世界上最大的祭天建筑群。
1998年被联合国教科文组织确认为“世界文化遗产”。
The Temple of Heaven was the venue for emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties to offer sacrifices to the heaven and pray for good harvest. It is round in the north and square in the south, implying "round heaven and square earth". Covering an area of 273 hectares, it is divided by two enclosed walls into the Inner Altar and the Outer Altar. Principal buildings congregate within the Inner Altar.The Inner Altar is also partitioned by a wall into two groups of buildings. The north structure is the Altar of Praying for Bumper Crops with the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests as the principal building used to pray in spring for a bumper harvest in the year. The south structure is the Circular Mound Altar used to worship Heaven at the winter solstice where the principal construction is a large round marble terrace named the Circular Mound.A masterpiece of the Ming and Qing architectural art and a precious example of China's ancient architecture, The Temple of Heaven is the largest architectural group for worshipping Heaven in the world. In 1998, it was recognized by the UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage.Unit 4印刷术是中国古代四大发明之一,始于隋朝的雕版印刷。
经宋仁宗(Emperor Renzong in Song Dynasty)时的毕昇发展、完善,产生了活字印刷,并由蒙古人传至了欧洲,所以后人称毕昇为印刷术的始祖。
中国的印刷术是人类近代文明的先导,为知识的广泛传播、交流创造了条件。
印刷术先后传到朝鲜、日本、中亚、西亚和欧洲。
1450年前后,德国的古腾堡(Gutenberg)受中国活字印刷的影响,用合金制成了拼音文字的活字,用来印刷书籍。
古腾堡使用活字印刷,比毕昇使用活字印刷已经晚了四百多年。
As one of the four great inventions of ancient China, typography which began from the woodblock printing in Sui Dynasty evolved into a movable-type on e after Bi Sheng’s development and improvement in the reign of Emperor Renzong in Song Dynasty. After that, it was introduced into Europe by the Mongolians, so Bi Sheng was regarded as the pioneer of typography.Chinese typography, which created possibility for the wide dissemination and exchange of knowledge, is the forerunner of modern human civilization. It has been introduced to North Korea, Japan, Central Asia, West Asia and Europe. Around 1450, Gutenberg, a German, who was influenced by the Chinese movable-type printing, invented movable alloy types for alphabets and used them in printing books. Therefore, Gutenberg’s use of movable-type printing was over 400 years behind Bi Sheng’s use.Unit 5绿色能源对于建设可持续发展型社会至关重要,不仅仅因为它能提供诸多就业机会,更在于它能为投身于该领域的学生提供大量激发创造性的机会。
