Negation and inversionInversion involves putting an auxiliary verb before the subject of a clause. In formal English, it is quite common to use inversion after negative adverbial expressions and restrictive words such as only, never, hardly, little and seldom.e. g. At no time did he get permission for what he was doing.Not until the next morning did she realize how serious it was.Only later did they learn his terrible secret.Hardly had we walked in the door when the phone started ringing.In some negative sentences, “not” is to negate the predicates in form, but actually it is used to negate other elements of those negative sentences. Therefore, while translating, we should transfer the negation in some cases.e. g. Every man cannot be a scientist.A high executive does not have a large vocabulary merely because of the opportunities of his position.A negative may be transferred from a certain part of the sentence to another in translation.e. g. We don’t believe that our moth er tongue is inferior to any other language in the world.I don’t think Father will fancy living an idle life like that.I.Change each sentence into a negative with the given word.1. I hope it will rain. (not)I hope it will not rain.2. She has seldom been so successful before.Seldom has she been so successful before.3. You will find gold in Iceland.

We rarely get more than three consecutive days of hot weather in summer.Rarely do we get more than three consecutive days of hot weather in summer.8. I had ever worked hard as I did yesterday. (hardly)I had hardly ever worked as hard as I did yesterday.Hardly had I ever worked as hard as I did yesterday.II.1.无爱之人不可能真正幸福。
Unit3.Biochemistry and Human DevelopmentBiochemistry is the application of chemistry to the study of biological processes at the cellular and molecular level. It emerged as a distinct discipline around the beginning of the20th century when scientists combined chemistry, physiology and biology to investigate the chemistry of living systems. In a sense, biochemistry is both a life science and a chemical science. It uses the methods of chemistry, physics; molecular biology and immunology to study the structure and behavior of the complex molecules found in biological material andthe ways those molecules interact to form cells, tissues and whole organism. It covers a broad range of cellular functions from gene transcription to the structure and function of macromolecules.生物化学是在细胞和分子水平上运用化学技术研究生物过程的科学。
在20世纪初,当科学家联合化学,生理学和生物化学研究的生命系统时,开始出现这门独立学科。
The Muscular SystemMuscle is the tough, elastic tissue that makes body parts move. All animals except the simplest kinds have some type of muscle.People use muscle to make various movements, such as walking, jumping, or throwing. Muscles also help in performing activities necessary for growth and for maintaining a strong, healthy body. For example, people use muscles in the jaw to chew food. Other muscles help move food through the stomach and intestines, and aid in digestion. Muscles in the heart and blood vessels force the blood to circulate. Muscles in the chest make breathing possible.肌肉系统肌肉是一种结实而有弹性的组织,能够使身体活动。
除了最简单的几种动物,所有动物都有某些类型的肌肉。
人们用肌肉来完成各种运动,如行走、跳跃或者投掷。
肌肉也有助于执行身体生长和保持强壮、健康的身体所必需的各种活动。
例如,人们用位于下巴的肌肉咀嚼食物。
其他肌肉帮助食物通过胃和肠道,帮助消化。
心脏和血管处的肌肉促使血液循环。
胸部肌肉使人能呼吸。
Types of MusclesThe human body has more than 600 major muscles. About 240 of them have specific names. In general, muscles are classified into three groups: (1) skeletal muscles, (2) smooth muscles, and (3) cardiac musclesSkeletal muscles help hold the bones of the skeleton together and give the body shape. They also make the body move. Skeletal muscles make up a large part of the legs, arms, abdomen, chest, neck, and face. These muscles vary greatly in size, depending on the type of job they do. For example, eye muscles are small and fairly weak, but the muscles of the thigh are large and strong. 肌肉的类型人体有超过600个主要的肌肉。

Where low-actinic or light-resistant containers are specified, clear containers that have been rendered opague by application of a suitable coating r wrapping may be used. Where an instrument for physical measurement, such as a spectrophotometer, is speci fied in a test or assay by its distinctive name, another instrument of equivalent or greater sensitivity and accuracy may be used. In order to obtain solutions having concentrations that are adaptable to the working range of the instrument being used, solutions of proportionate. ly higher or lower concentrations may be prepared according to the solvents and proportions there of that are specified for the procedurecu .仪器——为了一个明确的尺寸或规格类型的容器或设备在测验或分析给出了建议,纯粹,在培养皿或其他精确测量体积、计量、或排序装置是在合同中规定的;这个或其他设备至少应当使用等效精度。
Crossword Puzzle Answers:Open Ended Questions:1.Explain the difference between general-purpose and special-purpose applications.General-purpose applications are widely used in nearly every discipline and occupation. They include word processors, spreadsheets, database management systems, and presentation graphics.special-purpose applications are more narrowly focused on specific disciplines and occupations, such as graphics programs, audio and video editors,2.Discuss the common features of most software programs. Describe the new interfaceintroduced with 2007 Microsoft Office.The newest Office version, 2007 Microsoft Office, has a redesigned interface that is intended to make it easier for users to find and use all the features of an application. This new designintroduces ribbons, contextual tabs, galleries, and more.• Ribbons replace menus and toolbars by organizing commonly used commands into a set of tabs.These tabs display command buttons that are the most relevant to the tasks being performed by the user.• Contextual tabs are tabs that appear automatically. These tabs only appear when they are needed and anticipate the next operations to be performed by the user.• Galleries simplify the process of making a selection from a list of alternatives. This isaccomplished by replacing many dialog boxes with visual presentations of potential results.This new interface is the first major change in over a decade.3.What is the difference between a function and a formula? How is a formula related to what-if analysis?A formula is an instruction to calculate or process. Functions are prewritten formulas providedby the spreadsheet program that perform calculations such as adding a series of cells. If a change is made to one or more numbers in a spreadsheet, all related formulas will automaticallyrecalculate and charts will be recreated. Observing these changes is what-if analysis.4.What are presentation graphics programs? How are they used?Presentation graphics are programs that combine a variety of visual objects to create attractive, visually interesting presentations. They are excellent tools to communicate a message and to persuade people.5.What is the difference between an integrated package and a software suite? Whatare the advantages and disadvantages of each?An integrated package is a single program that provides the functionality of a wordprocessor, spreadsheet, database manager, and more. The primary disadvantage of an integrated package is that the capabilities of each function (such as word processing) are not as extensive as in the individual programs (such as Microsoft Word). The primary advantages are cost and simplicity.A software suite is a collection of separate application programs bundled together andsold as a group. While the applications function exactly the same whether purchased in a suite or separately, it is significantly less expensive to buy a suite of applications than to buy each application separately.1. Expanding Your Technology exercise #3 Shareware explores how shareware programswork and what the risks involved in using them are.2.Writing About Technology exercise #1 Acquiring Software asks the student to explorefive ways of acquiring software. And asks if it is wrong to obtain and use unauthorized software.Web Tools1.Applying Technology exercise #3 Corel WordPerfect Office Suite has the studentresearch the suite and compare/contrast it to the Microsoft Office suite.

新世纪高等院校英语专业本科生系列教材写作教程第一册第三单元语法和练习部分参考答案PART III GRAMMAR-ing and -ed forms of verbsReference for the Classroom Activities1)That woman who is laughing is my mother.2)Finally they found the treasure that had been hidden.3)This is the place that is most frequently reported in the press.4)The boy who was enchanted stared at the screen, mouth wide open.Now, ask students to summarize the use of the -ing and -ed forms as modifiersSummary1.The –ing form of a verb is used when the action described by the verb continues to happen or when therelationship between the modified and the verb is active.2.The –ed form of a verb is used when the action is completed at the time another action occurs or when the relationship between the modified and the verb is passive.NounsReference for the Classroom Activities1).development of career educators2). readjustment of the flight timetable3). money problems of high-school art education4). country for family vacation5). the study of the growth of childhood personalityNow, ask students to summarize the rules of using nouns as modifiers.SummaryNouns can be put ahead of another noun as its modifiers in English; but too many nouns clustered can cause ambiguity and misunderstanding. Very often the maximum of nouns as modifiers is two, though s ometimes this number may be exceeded. So the guiding principle for noun modifiers is that they shouldn’t pose too much difficulty to the reader’s comprehension.AdverbsReference for the Classroom Activities1)drive breezily (modifying the verb)2)strangely beautiful(modifying the adjective)3)too slowly(modifying the adverb)4)Firstly,1et’s listen to Dr.Smith’s report on his latest research.(modifying the whole sentence)Now, ask students to summarize the rules of using adverbs as modifiersSummaryAn adverb can modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb, or even a whole sentence. It usually appears after the verb it modifies but before the adjective or the adverb. If it modifies the whole sentence, it can appear either at the beginning or at the end.Problems with modifiersReference for the Classroom Activities1.The problem with these phrases is the redundancy of modifiers.The modifiers are useless for they do nothing but repeat what the following nouns say.Useless modifiers can make your writing repetitious and wordy.2.a. The notice said nothing else.b. People other than visitors were not invited to see the exhibits.c. The visitors were invited to do nothing but see the exhibits on the third floor.D. There might be exhibits on other floors but the visitors were invited to see those the third floor. Now.ask students to summarize the problems with modifiers.Summary1.One problem is about useless modifiers. A useless modifier adds nothing to the meaning of the modifiedbut redundancy.2.Another problem is concerned with misplaced modifiers. Clear writing demands that modifiers be put asclose as possible to the word or phrase being modified.PART IV WRITINGNotices (I)This section mainly discusses short, informal notices, which are normally written in the form of notes. Above all, a notice should provide key information to the reader.Suggested answer to the questionThe notices are concise, including only the essential information.
