新世纪大学英语系列教材之阅读教程第四册完整版答案

知识彩虹克雷格·拉塞尔我这辈子四分之三以上的时间（50年中有39年）是在纽约的中小学或大学里度过的，不是在上学，就是在教学。

于是，你或许会认为，经过这么长一段时间，我应该了解一些情况，确实知道一些东西，对知识和对生活该会积极地予以把握和肯定了。

可是，我却没有做到这一点。

事实上，我知道的东西越多，反倒越觉得自己无知。

当然，说自己知道的东西越多，反倒越觉得自己无知，这种说法是矛盾的。

然而，现代物理学告诉我们，现实世界本身就是矛盾的。

科学家们对物质现实世界研究得越多，就越无法对它进行把握。

在某种意义上，他们了解的越多，知道的就越少。

知识本身就是矛盾的。

打个比方，假设你的知识是一个点，就像这个句子末尾的句号一样。

请注意这个句号微小的圆周，假设它代表我们已知和未知的分界——换句话说，就是你对自己不知道的东西的认知。

但现在想象一下那个小小的句号在渐渐扩大，它的黑色部分占据页面越来越多的地方。

随着它的扩大，它的周缘也跟着扩大。

如果那个正在增大的黑色部分代表你的知识的话，在知识增长的同时，你会意识到自己有许多不知道的东西。

也就是说，你知道的越多，就越觉得自己无知。

你在求知过程中肯定有过类似的经历。

起初，你甚至并不知道还有某个学科的存在。

当然，这个学科是早就存在的，只是你以前没有注意到而已。

1988年有了第一台电脑以后，我去杂志店，想找一些关于电脑操作方面的书，结果发现这类书琳琅满目，让我吃惊。

同样，当我有幸获得讲授电影分析这门课的机会时，我发现有关这个领域的专著也多得令我眼花缭乱。

假设你决定研究这一课题。

你买了一本有关这一课题的书，一本你能找到的最好也是最全面的（或是你认为是这样的）书，或许你是从图书馆借来了这本书。

但你很快就会发现，阅读这本书只会给你带来更多的问题，而不是要解答你的疑问。

譬如，今年早些时候，我非但不知道自己对技术和自由之间的关系有兴趣，甚至没有意识到这两者之间有可能存在着某种联系。

于是，我开始阅读这方面的书籍，越读越意识到技术与自由之间的关系。

They are not only dwellers in nature, but also transformers of it. With the development of society and its economy, people tend to become less dependent on nature directly, but indirectly their dependence grows. Human beings are connected with nature by "blood" ties. No one can live outside nature. However, the previous dynamic balance between man and nature has shown signs of breaking down. Problems such as the population explosion, ecological imbalance and the shortage of natural resources have become major factors keeping human society from being further developed. Professor Spirkin holds that the only choice for human beings is the wise organization of production and care for Mother Nature.My Understanding of Environmental ProtectionMan and the environment are closely related. Man relies on the environment for water, food and shelter. A harmonious relationship between man and However, man and the environment have never been on such bad terms as they are now. As society develops, man’s transformation of nature has severely polluted his living environment. Deforestation leads to changes in rainfall patterns, causing devastating floods, droughts and sandstorms. The discharge of chemical pollutants endangers our health and the lives of other beings. And mass production has resulted in the shortage of irreplaceable natural resources such as coal and oil. If we take no immediate and effective steps to protect our environment, human beings may be the next species to become extinct. ••••••We should do our best to protect our environment by planting more trees, taking care of wildlife, reducing industrial wastes, using renewable energy, and imposing heavy fines on environmentally-unfriendly activities, so as to preserve the environment for future generations.U21）mass 2）gambled 3）voluntary 4）hunted 5）classified 6）abolished 7）division 8）senseless 9）fashions 10）coordination 11）declarations 12）spanned13）recommended 14）moderately 15）slightest1）stands a chance 2）ruled out 3）worthy of 4）gone through 5）in the strict sense 6）At a guess 7）earns a living 8）coincide with 9）gone in for 10）got their teeth into（1）enjoy （2）physical （3）compelled （4）necessity （5）support（6）mental （7）idealize （8）status （9）values （10）classified（11）essential （12）mind （13）attitude （14）fortunate1、随着她个人生活的细节越来越多地被媒体披露出来，她不得不辞去公司总经理的职务。

They later become to eating itjust because their parents persuade them to eat it.2.There are two different and conflicting attitudes towards animals; they arecarefully separated so that the contradiction between the two hardly causes trouble.3.Pictures and stories deliberately avoid presenting the real situation in our modernfarms. Children, therefore, are kept from seeing the reality.4.The difficulty will be that non-vegetarian parents do not let their children knowabout the gruesome side of the story, as they are afraid to refuse to eat meat at meals.5.Unfortunately, non-vegetarian parents will strongly disapprove of their children’sunwillingness to eat meat.P151.It’s a sad fact that those who are against research and those who conductresearch on animals cannot agree with each other at all about the use of animals on research.2.I suggest that those who are against animal research and all those they can getsupport from stop making use of the benefit from animal research.3.My suggestion is to let the proponents of animal rights decline the use of theproducts based on animal research so that there will be no market demand for such products and therefore will end the animal research activities that they consider to be terrible.4.The fact is research in the field of cardiology (relating to heart problems) hasbeen based on animal experimentation for about a hundred years, so I cannot accept cardio logical treatment as it is wrong to do so.5.If I may develop a deadly tumor, do not treat me with chemotherapy, as thosedrugs were first tested on animal.P301.I don’t know how long to jail children who commit crimes or where to jail them, but I thinkthat the trend of pushing them seriously as adults is terrible.2.It appears that a child is more likely to be punished like an adult after they commit a veryserious and hard-to –understand crime.3.When I write about these things, I think it’s important to also write about the victim and howhe lost his life.4.I deeply respect and impressed by people who choose to use their lives to teach children,when they could be doing other things such as selling technology stocks or discussing fool topics on TV.5.Despite all these things, he was tried in the courtroom as an adult, and even given a sentencethat was three years longer than the minimum for an adult.6.Even though these children were considered adults when they were judged in the courtroom,if they tried to defend themselves in the court their arguments would be considered as given by children not adults.7.These adults will have little in common with the foolish boys they were, just as I have little incommon with the foolish boys , I was when I threw that cinder block.P371.Now we can enjoy the benefits and list in what ways we benefit from his death.2.There must be some other benefit by fastening Harding into a chair in a smallroom and poisoning him to death with gas.3.Now even people who are eloquently in support of executing people, such asArizona Attorney Grant woods, who attract a lot of public attention, believe that the death penalty will keep people from committing crimes.4.But even killing a small number of murders will have great impact on people.5.Perhaps the benefit we get from killing Harding is not easy to see.P421.Her voice and her facial expressions show that she is sometimes deep in sorrow andsometimes furious beyond her control.2.This sense of justice, like many other basic beliefs was such a necessary element for us tomaintain our psychological health that we take it granted and hardly ever become aware of its existence until one day justice is severely violated.3.People’s opinions greatly differ as to what is the proper way for correcting behavior.4.Europeans are quite passionate when coming to the issue of taking tough measures onpolitical violence.P471.I carefully examined Tony’s bed to see if he had dirtied it with his body fluids.2.When I looked at the sickly man, I could not imagine that he used to be clean andneat, serious, and determined and that he robbered a bank and killed a cop.3.Many people in the underworld believed that Tony should have done somethingfor his partners, but he did nothing. This had hurt his partners. The underworld people believed that Tony’s partners had been betrayed.4.Words had gon e around that Tony’s wife was murdered that because theunderworld wanted revenge against Tony for the death of his three crime partners.5.The lights shining in the window made the hollows in his dark face look deeper,making his look somewhat evil.P581. (The figures and cases of gun accidents and killing) surely will make people think twice before they insist on having their rights to own guns.2. If it takes longer time to own a gun, then it will reduce the chances of people who use guns to harm or kill other people on impulse.3. A gun safety program should be made a must for gun owners, especially those who buy guns for the first time.4. Opponents of gun control also think that gun control is similar to censorship.However, with censorship, when I cannot speak certain things, my quality of life may be lowered, but I will still be alive.P661. Houses where people live are far apart. Few vehicles are on the roads. The landscape around you is empty and bare, so that you will not be able to find anywhere to hide when in danger.2. Even when I was inside my car, I was still liable to be attacked, and without protection.3. I drove over to him and told him it was a private and legally protected place.4. I am not the type that gets excessively worried about my own security, nor am I willing to take risks, but I thought I needed more protection than what I had.5. Just those words and actions spoke in threats and violence, my gesturing with the pistol was a reply in the same rude and violent style, the only way that they could understand.6. I am a pacifist by nature. That peaceful nature inside me makes me sad at the thought that perhaps women can only be free and equal when they are armed.P711.No serious gun control was made, and the pro-gun senators eroded a 1968 law that limitedbuying 22 rim-fire ammunition.2.If he finds that his wife is not cheating on him, he won’t have wasted $80 buying a gun.3.We would use the newest types of guns ,and we could promise that our guns have barrels andthe newest safety devices.4.If the gun breaks and it is not the customer’s fault, then we will replace the gun for free.5.We believed that the Senate and the White House would not try to control guns more tightly,especially since this year there will be elections.P761.That day my husband Jim Brady-------the press secretary of Ronald Reagan, was(permanently crippled by the assassin’s bullet and therefore) added to the list of the victims of American handgun war.2.Under the circumstance, Congress votes for a salary increase for all thecongressmen.3.The National Rifle Association expects the public to appease their anger so thatthere would be no more anger directed at the policymakers.4.Like me , people in the nation who make sure that laws are obeyed, who put theirlife in danger for us every day, are not willing to hand a handgun to another assassin like John Hinckley.5.Jim Brady knows that it is important to have a waiting time (for people who applyfor purchasing guns).

This is ridiculous and I feel bad about it.2.From my ow n experience, I don’t think we can develop deep and fullrelationships by trying to compete and win against a common enemy.3.If my success means that I have to be better than others, I don’t think I’ll everhave real satisfaction because I have to keep thinking of how to outdo others, which is very unpleasant and exhausting.4.Even when I reach the top position, I will not feel safe as all those below me willbe waiting to outdo me and try to grab the position from me.5.I start to see that my confidence in my personal value and worth is dependent onhow much better I am than so many others in so many activities.6.Only when we begin to realize that there is no such a thing as healthycompetition can we begin to live more normal and richer lives.P1151.

In emergencies, a mobile phone can even be a life-saver. Besides, its multi-functions add ease and color to our lives. With a mobile phone, we can receive mail, read news, listen to music, play games, and take pictures.Yet, the mobile phone has its disadvantages, too. Most of us have experienced the nuisance of unwanted or wrong calls. We are inconvenienced by calls on occasions when we least expect one. Besides, the technology infrastructure to support mobile communicationhas consumed valuable natural resources and caused significant environmental problems. It is reported that electromagnetic radiation waves from the phone may result in health problems.Despite its negative side, the advantages of the mobile phone outweigh its disadvantages.

They never think about what is meant by "work" and why they should work at all. In fact, "work" involves such qualities as wisdom, enthusiasm, imagination and creativity. To do his work well, a worker must have a spirit of dedication, and be capable of bearing hardships and standing hard work. In addition, he should have initiative and creativity. Having initiative means the worker should be ready to grasp every opportunity to display his outstanding ability. In addition, a worker should make clear the nature and significance of the work he does, be responsible for whatever he is doing and plunge himself into the work with vigorous enthusiasm. If he can do so, he will find a job no longer a burden but an indispensablepart of his life. Whatever he does, he can always find values and pleasure in the work and achieve extraordinary results in otherwise ordinary work.作文范文My Career ChoiceWhen it comes to the choice of career, different people consider the matter from different perspectives.
