托福听力段子9. 生活段子:噪音影响I’m grad to see so many of you here. We’ve become really alarmed over the health center by the number of students we are seeing, who are experiencing hearing loss. First, I want to go over some basic about hearing. Then we can take a look at our school environment and see if we can figure out some ways to protect hearing. The leading cause of preventable hearing loss is excessive noise. Too much moderate noise for a long time or some types of intense noise for even a short time can damage hearing. Loudness is measured in units called decibels. One decibel is the lowest sound that the average person can here. Sounds up to 80 decibels generally aren’t harmful. That’s noise like traffic on a busy street. But anything louder than 80 decibels, especially with continuous exposure, may eventually hurt your hearing. Once you are up to around 140 decibels, that’s like a jet plane taking off, then you might even feel pain in your ears. And pains are sure sign that your hearing’s at risk. Even one exposure to a really loud noise at close range can cause hearing loss. So what you need to do is limit your exposure to harmful levels. If you pass along this handout, we can take a look at the decibel level of some common campus sounds. Notice how loud those horns are that people take to football games. They are really dangerous if blown right behind you. Now, let’s try to generate a list of damaging noises.。
听力十大必背xx1.文科xx:艺术类音乐2.理科xx:天文学In ancient times, many people believed the earth was a flat disc. Well over2,000years ago;the ancient Greek philosophers were able to put forward two good arguments proving that it was not.Direct observations of heavenly bodies were the basis of both these arguments. First, the Greeks knew that during eclipses of the moon the earth was between the sun and the moon, and they saw that during these eclipses,the earth's shadow on the moon was always round, they realized that this could be true only if the earth was spherical,It the earth was a flat disc,then its shadow during eclipses would not be a prefect circle; it would be stretched out into a long ellipse.The second argument was based on what the Greeks saw during their travels. They noticed that the North Star, or Polaris, appeared lower in the sky when they traveled south,in the more northerly regions,the North Star appeared to them to be much higher in the sky. By the way, it was also from this difference in the apparent position of the North Star that the Greeks first calculated the approximate distance around the circumference of the earth,a figure recorded in ancient documents says 400.000stadium,that's the plural of the world stadium.Today,it's not known exactly what length one stadium represents,but let's say it was about200meters,the length of many athletic stadiums. This would make the Greek's estimate about twice the figure accepted today, a very good estimate for those writing so long before even the first telescope was invented.3.文科xx:文学名著Continuing our survey of the 19thcentury,let's take a look now at Harriet Beecher Stowe. Now Stowe is best known for her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, a book that details the harshness of plantation life in the south.The book was extremely popular in the United States as well as in other countries. Ironically though, for all the attention given to Uncle Tom's Cabin, it's far from Stowe's best work. She did write one other novel about life in the south, but much of her best work has nothing with the south at all.In fact,Stowe's best writing is about village life in the New England's states in the 19th century. In recording to the customs of the villages she wrote about,Stowe claimed that her purpose was to reflect the images as realistically as possible.She usually succeed, for her settings were often described accurately and in detail.In this sense, she was an important forerunner to the realistic movement that became popular later in the 19th century. She was one of the first writers to use local dialect for her characters when they spoke. And she did this for 30 years before Mark Twain popularized the use of local dialect. It makes sense that Stowe would write about New England life,since she was born in Connecticut.As a young woman there,she worked as a teacher.The teaching job helped lead to her first published work,a geography book for ter when she was married,her writing helped her support her family financially.Throughout her life,she wrote poems,travel books,biographical sketches and children's books, as well as novels for adults.94.生活xx:噪音影响generate a list of damaging noises.:C25.文科xx:电影艺术To get us started this semester I am going to spend the first two classes giving you background lectures about some basic cinematic concepts. Once you are a little more familiar with basic film terminology, we will be ready to look at the history of movies in the United States. You'll be expected to attend showing of films on Tuesdayevenings at 7o'clock in Jennings Auditorium.That's our lab.Then during our Wednesday seminar, we'll discuss in depth the movie we saw the night before. We are not covering silent films in this course. We will begin with the first talking motion picture,The Jazz Singer,released in 1927.The next week,we'll be looking at The Gold Diggers of 1933, a piece that is very representative of the escapist trend in films released during the depression. Some of the films we will be watching will probably be new to you, like Frank Capra's Why We Fight. Others you might have already seen on TV like Rebel without A Cause starring James Deane,or Stanley Cooper's Doctor's Strange Love. However, I hope you see even familiar film with new eye. In the last three weeks of the course,we will be watching films from the 1980sand you'll choose one of them as a subject for an extensive written critique.We'll talk more about the requirements of the critique later in this semester.6.文科xx:历史发展Last time, we outlined how the Civil War finally got started. I want to talk today about the political management of the war on both sides:7.文科xx:传媒变迁Moving away from newspapers,let's now focus on magazines.Now the first magazine was a little periodical called the Review and it was started in London in1704. It looked a lot like the newspapers of the time, but in terms of its contents itwas much different.Newspapers were concerned mainly with news events but the Review focused on important domestic issues of the day, as well as the policies of the government.Now,in England at the time,people could still be thrown in jail for publishing articles that were critical of the king. And that is what happened to Daniel Defoe.He was the outspoken founder of the review.Defoe actually wrote the first issue of the Review from prison.You see,he had been arrested because of his writings that criticized the policies of the Church of England, which was headed by the king. After his release, Defoe continued to produce the Review and the magazinestarted to appear on a more frequent schedule, about three times a week. It didn't take long for other magazines to start popping up. In 1709, a magazine called the Tattler began publication. This new magazine contained a mixture of news, poetry, political analysis and philosophical essays.8.理科xx:远程教育Hi, Lynn. I saw you at registration yesterday. I sailed right through, but you were standing in a long line." k+ q$ f$ |5 {7 a$ A% TYeah. I waited an hour to sign up for a distance-learning course.7 ]1 r( X:y- e* _Distance learning? Never heard of it.Well, it's new this semester. It's only open to psychology majors. But I bet it'll catch on elsewhere. Yesterday, over a hundred students signed up.Well, what is it?It's an experimental course. I registered for child psychology. All I have got to do is watch a twelve-week series of televised lessons. The department shows them seven different times a day and in seven different locations.Don't you ever have to meet with professor?( f# |9 ?5 `5 uYeah. After each part of the series I have to talk to her and the other students on the phone, you know, about our ideas. Then we'll meet on campus three times for reviews and exams.7 H2 Y/ k:T/ P0 s; m1 oIt sounds pretty non-traditional to me. But I guess it makes sense, considering how many students have jobs. It must really help with their schedules, not to mention how it will cut down on traffic.( P+ B+ Q0 J0 }You know, last year my department did a survey and they found out that 80 percent of all psychology majors were employed. That's why they came up with theprogram.Look, I'll be working three days a week next semester and it was either cut back on my classes or try this out.The only thing is:doesn't it seem impersonal though?I mean,I miss having class discussions and hearing what other people think.Well, I guess that's why phone contact's important. Any way, it's an experiment.Maybe I'll end up hating it.Maybe. But I'll be curious to see how it works up.9.生活xx:游览沼泽地公园10.理科xx:地理冒险Emerson and Scott.。

Before we begin today, I would like to address an issue that one of you reminded me of after the last lecture. As you may recall, last time I mentioned that Robert E. Peary was the first person to reach the North Pole. What I neglected to mention was the controversy around Peary's pioneering accomplishment. In 1910, a committee of the national geographical society examined Commodore Peary's claim to have reached the North Pole on April 6th' 1909 and found no reason to doubt him. This judgment was actually confirmed by a committee of the US congress in 1911. Nevertheless, Peary's claim was surrounded by controversy. Tins was largely due to the competing claim of Doctor Frederic Cook who told the world he had reached the Pole a four-year earlier. Over the decades Peary was given the benefit of the doubt, but critics persisted in raising questions about his navigation and the distances he claimed to have covered. So the Navigation Foundation spent an additional 12 months of exhaustive examination of documents relating to Peary's polar expedition. The documents supposed Peary's claims about the distances he covered. After also conducting an extensive computer analysis of photos taken by Peary at the pole, they concluded that Pierre and his companions did in fact reach the near vicinity of the North Pole on April 6th. 1909. OK, today we're going to talk about exploration of the opposite end of the world, I assume you all read chapter 3 in our text and are now familiar with the names: Emerson and Scott.。
邱政政--托福听力十大必背段子<4>9. 970539 生活段子:游览沼泽地公园Welcome to Everglade’s National Park. The Everglade is a watery plain covered with saw grass that’s the home to numerous species of plants and wild life. And one and half million acre is too big to see it all today. But this tour will offer you a good sampling. Our tour bus will stop first at Tailor Slue. This is a good place to start because it’s home to many of the plants and animals typically associated with the everglade. You’ll see many exotic birds and of course a world famous alligators. Don’t worry. There’s a boardwalk that goes across the marsh, so you can look down at the animals in the water from a safe distance. The boardwalk is high enough to give you a great view of the saw grass prairie. From there we’ll head at some other marshy and even jungle-like areas that feature wonderful tropical plant life. For those of you who’d like a close view of the saw grass prairie, you mightconsider running a canoe sometime during your visit here. However, don’t do this unless you have a very good sense of direction and can negotiate your way through tall grass. We hate to have to come looking for you. You have a good fortune of being here in the winter, the best time of the year to visit. During the spring and summer the mosquitoes will just about to eat you alive. Right now, they are not so bothersome, but you’ll soon want to use an insect repellent.10. 000147 理科段子:地理冒险Good morning, class.

I’d like to ask you about this fossil I found.M: Sure Jon. Where have you got there?W: Well, it’s some kind of shellfish. I thought is might be a brachiopod (腕足类动物的一种), but I am not sure. I found it when I went out hiking last weekend.M: I think you might be right. It certainly appears to be a brachiopod. But it’s easy to confuse them with the bivalve mollusks(双壳类软体动物). Superficially they resemble one another. Both have two shells for example.W: How can you tell them apart then?M: Well, there are some minor differences in the shell. A lot of brachiopods have ribbed(有棱纹的) shells like this one. There are other distinctions of course. Internally they are quite different. Mollusks and brachiopods belong to different animal groups, and they have been in competition with one another millions of years ago.W: How old do you think this one is?M: It’s hard to tell. The earliest brachiopods were from the Paleozoic era, 300 to 500 million years ago. They were quite successful then in terms of number of species. It’s not out of the question that your fossil could be that old.W: Wow, that’s amazing. Kind of makes paleontology(考古学)seem more interesting when you can hold it in your hand.M: You know that gives me an idea. Would you mind bring this to our next class? The others might find it interesting too.W: Well, I could. But if you don’t al ready have one in your collection, I thought you might as well keep it.M: That’s very kind of you.31. What are the speakers mainly discussing?32. Why does the prof mention bivalve mollusks?33. Why does the prof think the fossil might be a brachiopod?34. What does the prof say about the age of the fossil?35. What does the woman want to do with the fossil?36-39M: I am so relieved I just finished the story I was working on for our creative writing course.W: I haven’t quite finished mine yet. I had tro uble getting pass the beginning.M: How come?W: Well, I was really happy to be writing a detective story. But after the first few pages, I sort of froze up mentally. I just couldn’t write any more.M: The same thing happened to me. I thought it meant I lack imagination. W: Well, Prof Wilson said it’s pretty common for writers to get stuck like tat.M: You went to talk to her about it?W: Actually, I went to ask for more time to finish the assignment. But instead she gave me some advice about how to keep from getting stalled in my writing like that. She said that the first thing I should do is just write anything that come into my head even if it doesn’t make any sense, sort of verbal warm up exercise.M: That is interesting. When I got stuck, I shift to something else, you know, do some work for one of my other courses.W: Well, her methods seem have worked for me. I’ve written most of the story, and I should be able to hand it in on time. But first I need go to the jewelry store.M: You are going shopping? Can’t you wait until you finish your story? W: I am going there for my story. My detective solves a jewelry store robbery. So I want to take a look at how the jewelry cases are arranged, where the security cameras are located, that sort of thing.36. What is the conversation mainly about?37. What was the woman’s problem?38. What did the prof tell the woman to do?39. Why is the woman going out?Part C40-42Today, we are going to talk about a special way some plants respond to being invaded by pests. The plants react by emitting a chemical signal, which acts like a call for help. Let’s take corn plants for example. Sometimes, caterpillars chew on the corn leaves. When the caterpillar saliva mixes with the chew portion of a leave, the plant releases a chemical scream that attracts wasps. The wasps respond to the signal by flying to the chewed on leave, and laying their eggs in the caterpillars. The caterpillars die in the next few days as the wasp offspring nourish themselves by feeding of them. Thus the corn plant prevents all its leaves from being eaten by the caterpillars. This chemical scream is specific.It’s only released after the plant has detected the caterpillar saliva.A plant that is cut by in the other means does not give off the same signal, nor doesn’t undamaged plants. This also explains how a wasp can find a caterpillar in a huge field of corn. Soybean, cotton and probably many other plants use similar type of defense against pests. By enhancing this natural response in plants, researchers might reduce, or some day even eliminate the need for chemical pesticide, which can cause ecological damage. For example, scientists might breed plants or this screaming trait, or they might transplant specific genes to increase the release of the chemical signals.40. What’s the main purpose of the talk?41. What causes the corn plant to emit the chemical signal?42. How can a wasp find a caterpillar on a corn plant?43-47Today, we are going to continue our discussion of Buddhism. In our last class, we tal ked about how it practiced. Today, I’d like to talk a little about early Buddhism, which we really don’t know much about. Well, what is known is that the teachings of Buddhism were memorized, and passed on orally for centuries by its followers. Recently, there was an important discovery of Buddhist manuscripts that are believed to be the oldest ever found. They may be 2,100 years old. And there maybe as many as 20 of them. It’s expected that we will be able to learn from them about the spread of Buddhism from present day India into China, and throughout Asia. But the scrolls themselves have presented challenges too. They were very fragile, found rolled up in clay pots. Before they even could be looked at, they need to be dampened over night in fact, and then carefully flattened with tweezers. And it’s not that anybody could just sit down and read them. The scrolls were written in a language that is really rare today. Only a few people are proficient at it. Considering these challenges, it’s easy to understand why it takes scholars so long to examine the scrolls.43. What is the main topic of the talk?44. According to the speaker, what’s one aspect of the manuscript that is very significant?45. What was an early source of information about Buddhism?46. What do scholars expect to learn about from the manuscripts?47. What has made it difficult to study the manuscripts?48-50About 200 years ago, the United States economy was growing quickly, mainly because a booming trade in grain and cotton. This trade is grain and cotton went on near areas near or at the cost, or near navigable rivers. It took place there because it was so expensive to transport goods over the roadsthat existed. They were muddy, narrow, and hard to travel on. At that time, don’t forget there was only one continuous road that existed in the US, and it was made up of north to south local country roads, linked together to get one long road. Within a short time, the first east-to-west roads were built. They were called turnpikes. Private companies built these roads, and collected fees from all vehicles traveled on them. Eventually, a network of dirt, gravel or plank roadways connected some major cities and towns. But even these turnpike roads were still very slow, and traveling on them was too costly for farmers. They would have spent more money to move their crops than they got by selling them. So, we see that even with some major improvements in roadways, farmers still had to rely on rivers to move their crops to markets.48. What’s the talk mainly about?49. According to the prof, what cause the growth of the US economy about 200 years ago?50. According to the prof, what did private companies do after they built new roads?分享。
新东方老师邱政政:英语听说一点通1、问:想学好英语要注意些什么呢?邱:想学好英语需要花费很多的时间和精力,It takes time,但是只要找到一个好的切入口(cut),学习英语便可以事半功倍。
而从英语听说入手则是激发英语学习兴趣的有效途径。
有了这种motivation,我们就会热爱英语,因为只有love what you do,才会get what you love。
在兴趣的前提下,我们还应充满自信。
只要具备confidence天下就无不可为之事。
但在这个过程中,会出现相当多的挫折和挑战,因此我们要坚持不懈的精神。
因为It’s the dogged that does it。
“不是一番寒彻骨,怎得梅花扑鼻香”。
也便是这个道理。
当然很多同学都会有一个体会,无论如何坚持,学习英语的过程中总会有一段时间进步不大,听力还错那么多,口语在不流利,但是不要着急,这就是所谓的“平台期”,需要patience,终有一天,们会不意的发现,We’ll get a big futrue。
总而言之,motivation,confidence,perseverance,patience,practice是学习英语五要素,缺一不可。
2、问:如何才能激发学习英语的兴趣呢?邱:要想学好英语,应该从听说入手。
因为学习英语听说可以使英语不再是望而生畏、死气沉沉的学问,而成为妙趣横生、鲜活灵动的实践。
但是学习听说不等于习得听说,ABC(American-born Chinese)的英语好是因为具备了习得听说的必要条件Language Environment。
但是我们没有条件,可以创造条件,比如看美国电影,听美国广播,有意识地给自己营造出一种国外的语言环境强迫自己用耳朵接受英语,同时开口说英文就能在轻松、愉快的氛围中习得听说了。
3、问:英语听说能力的提高需要包括哪几方面?邱:听说包括语音、语调节奏、用词、思维和文化五部分。
首先,对于任何一种语言,语音是基础,without a solid foundation of pronunciation,you can not go far。
生命是永恒不断的创造,因为在它内部蕴含着过剩的精力,它不断流溢,越出时间和空间的界限,它不停地追求,以形形色色的自我表现的形式表现出来。

托福听力讲座类热门话题生物学常考内容分析托福听力讲座类话题中有关生物学的内容可以说是相当热门的话题了。
几乎每场考试大家都可以看到各类生物学相关的话题文章四处出没。
下面就和大家共享托福听力讲座类热门话题生物学常考内容分析,盼望能够关心到大家,来观赏一下吧。
托福听力讲座类热门话题生物学常考内容分析托福听力生物学常考话题拓展:进化论进化类文章难度较高,很可能涉及进化理论的对比,可能考到理论的主要观点或者对比的焦点。
同时同学应当留意教授的总结内容。
托福听力生物学常考话题拓展:动植物灭亡和爱护和人有关,会涉及人类干预、森林破坏、狩猎、引入新物种、生态系统重建等等话题。
常见的比如:一开头教授交代什么缘由导致了动植物的破坏,然后人类又怎样挽救生态环境,会考到爱护政策的利弊,教授对应政策的态度,他方(政府、生物学家等)的观点等等。
托福听力生物学常考话题拓展:动植物适应环境动物与环境的关系:动物为了适应环境,身体结构或者行为发生了变化,在听力过程中需要留意捕获对比信息。
托福听力生物学常考话题拓展:动植物特点以动物为主,常考海洋生物、极端环境生物等,这类讲座常见总分(总)或者直线型结构,第一类是先介绍动物的某一种特点,然后用first,second,third这样的提示词或者其他较为明显的提示词给出几点说明,其中可能会穿插教授与同学的互动,这类行文结构层次清楚。
直线型结构先给出学术概念,之后可能互动多,但是结构没那么清楚。
托福听力生物学常考话题拓展:动物行为学常考动物迁徙,物种选择,冬眠,觅食,交配等,一般采纳直线型的行文结构,首先教授给出某种行为的介绍,然后以特定的动物为例绽开介绍,常常会考到行为背后的缘由。
托福听力:听力修辞艺术孔子曰:“言之无文,行而不远。
”汉语中有修辞,英语中自然也有。
早在90年月初的TOEFL 听力考试中,美语的修辞手法便得到了初步的运用,随着TOEFL听力不断向Daily(日常生活化)和Functional(语言交际功能化)进展,为考试而刻意雕琢的那些呆板、生硬的语法现象已荡然无存,各种各样修辞方法的广泛运用已成为听力语言地道性的重要表现。
托福听力十大必背段子(四)7. 981042 文科段子:传媒变迁Moving away from newspapers, let’s now focus on magazines. Now the first magazine was a little periodical called the R eview and it was started in London in 1704. It looked a l ot like the newspapers of the time, but in terms of its c ontents it was much different. Newspapers were concerned main ly with news events but the Review focused on important dom estic issues of the day, as well as the policies of the g overnment. Now, in England at the time, people could still be thrown in jail for publishing articles that were critical of the king. And that is what happened to Daniel Defoe. He was the outspoken founder of the review. Defoe actually wrote the first issue of the Review from prison. You see, he had been arrested because of his writings that criticized the policies of the Church of England, which was headed b y the king. After his release, Defoe continued to produce t he Review and the magazine started to appear on a more fre quent schedule, about three times a week. It didn’t take l ong for other magazines to start popping up. In 1709, a ma gazine called the Tattler began publication. This new magazin e contained a mixture of news, poetry, political analysis and philosophical essays.8. 971035 理科段子:远程教育Hi, Lynn. I saw you at registration yesterday. I sailed rig ht through, but you were standing in a long line.Yeah. I waited an hour to sign up for a distance-learning course.Distance learning? Never heard of it.Well, it’s new this semester. It’s only open to psychology majors. But I bet it’ll catch on else where. Yesterday, over a hundred students signed up.Well, what is it?It’s an experimental course. I registered for child psycholo gy. All I have got to do is watch a twelve-week series of televised lessons. The department shows themseven different times a day and in seven different locations.Don’t you ever have to meet with professor?Yeah. After each part of the series I have to talk to her and the other students on the phone, you know, about our ideas. Then we’ll meet on campus three times for reviewsand exams.It sounds pretty non-traditional to me. But I guess it makes sense, considering how many students have jobs. It must really help with their schedules, not to mention how it will cut down on traffic.You know, last year my department did a survey and they fo und out that 80 percent of all psychology majors were emplo yed. That’s why they came up with the program.Look, I’ll be working three days a week next semester andit was either cut back on my classes or try this out.The only thing is: doesn’t it seem impersonal though? I me an, I miss having class discussions and hearing what other people think.Well, I guess that’s why phone contact’s important. Any wa y, it’s an experiment.Maybe I’ll end up hating it.Maybe. But I’ll be curious to see how it works up.。

邱政政-托福听力十大必备段子(中英版)邱政政-托福听力十大必备段子(中英版)1.文科类段子:讨论“艺术类的音乐”[2000.1.(39)——(42)]It may seem strange that we’re discussing music from a Broadway production in this class, “The Lion King” especially, since it’s based on a popular Hollywood movie. I mean music performed for Broadway theater in the heart of New York city surely would seem to be in the western tradition of popular music and not have much in common with the music we have been studying in this course, such as gamelan music of Indonesia, or Zulu chants of South Africa, music that developed outside the western tradition of Europe and America. But in fact, musicians have a long-standing tradition of borrowing from one another’s cultures. And this production’s director intentionally included bothwestern and non-western music. That way, some of the rhythms, instruments, harmonies typical of non-western music contrast with and complement popular music more familiar to audiences in North America and Europe, music like rock, jazz or Broadway style show tunes. So I want to spend the rest of this class and most of the next one on the music from the show “The Lion King” as a way of summarizing some of the technical distinctions between typical western music and the non-western music that we’ve been studying. Now the African influence on the music is clear, the story takes place in Africa. So the director got a South African composer to write songs with a distinctly African sound. And the songs even include words from African languages. But we’ll getback to the African influence later. First let’s turn to the music that was written for the shadow puppet scenes in “The Lion King”, music based on the Indonesian music used in the shadow puppet theater of that region.中文翻译:也许在我们这门课上讨论百老汇制作的音乐剧有点儿奇怪,特别是《狮子王》,因为它是根据一个很受欢迎的Hollywood电影改编的。
我的意思是,在纽约中心百老汇上演的音乐剧看上去一定是跟随西方音乐传统,而这不同于我们所学的欧洲和美洲传统之外的音乐,比如印尼的gamelan音乐,或南非Zulu族单调的口号。
但是,音乐家们有借鉴别种文化的传统。
这部音乐剧的导演有意在剧中融合了西方音乐和非西方音乐。
这样,一些非西方音乐的节拍、乐器、音调与欧美观众所熟知的音乐,如摇滚,爵士、百老汇音乐之间,会产生强大的对比。
所以我想用今天剩下的和下一节课的大部分时间来分析《狮子王》中的音乐,从而总结一下我们所学过的西方音乐和非西方音乐在技术上的不同。
非洲对这个音乐剧有很大的影响,故事发生在非洲,所以导演请了南非的音乐家来写一些很具有南非风格的音乐。
歌曲中甚至包括了非洲的语言。
我们等一会儿再来讨论非洲对这部音乐剧的影响。
现在先看一下《狮子王》中手影戏那一幕所用的音乐,它是根据印尼手影戏的音乐改编的。
2.理科类段子:讨论“天文学”[2000.1.(43)——(46)]In ancient times, many people believed the earth was a flat disc. Well over 2,000 years ago, the ancient Greek philosophers were able to put forward two good arguments proving that it was not. Direct observations of heavenly bodies were the basis of both these arguments. First, the Greeks knew that during eclipses of the moon, theearth was between the sun and the moon, and they saw that during these eclipses, the earth’s shadow on the moon was always round, they realized that this could be true only if the earth was spherical. If the earth were a flat disc, then its shadow during eclipses would not be a perfect circle, it would be stretched out into a long ellipse. The second argument was based on what the Greeks saw during their travels. They noticed that the North Star, or Polaris, appeared lower in the sky when they traveled south, in more northernly regions, the North Star appeared to them to be much higher in the sky. By the way, it was also from this difference in the apparent position of the North Star that the Greeks first calculated the approximate distance around the circumference of theearth, a figure recorded in ancient documents says 400,000 stadia, that’s the plural of the word stadium. Tod ay, it’s not known exactly what length one stadium represents, but let’s say it was about 200 meters, the length of many athletic stadiums. This would make the Greek’s estimate about twice the figure accepted today, a very good estimate for those writing so long before even the first telescope was invented.中文翻译:远古的时候,人们认为地球是一个平的盘子。
两千年以前,古希腊的哲学家们便提出了两种不同的观点来说明它不是平的。
对天上物体的直接观察成为这几种论调的基础。
第一,希腊人知道在月食的时候,地球是在太阳和月亮的中间,所以他们发现地球在月亮上的影子总是圆的,所以地球只能是圆球形的。
如果地球是一个平盘子,那月食时影子就不会是一个完整的圆形,而会成为一个拉长的椭圆形。
第二个争论是在希腊人出行时发现的。
他们发现北极星,在靠南方的地方比较低,而在北边却比较高。
顺便说一句,希腊人同时还用北极星的不同位置估算了地球的周长,一个在古代文件中记下的400,000stadia,Stadia是体育场(stadium)的复数形式。
今天,我们不太清楚它到底代表多长。
但假如它代表200米,也就是很多运动场的周长,如此算来,希腊人的预测大约是今天测量长度的两倍。
但对于这个在发明望远镜之前很久的预测来说,已经算相当精确了。
3.文科类段子:讨论“文学名著”[1999.10.(44)——(47)] Continuing our survey of the 19th century, let’s take a look now at Harriet Beecher Stowe. Now Stowe is best known for her novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a book that details the harshness of plantation life in the south. The book was extremely popular in the United States as wellas in other countries. Ironically though, for the attention given to Uncle Tom’s Cabin, it is far from Stowe’s best work. She did write one other novel about life in the south. But much of her best work has nothing to do with the south at all. In fact, Stowe’s best writing is about village life in the New England states in the 19th century. In recording the customs of the villages she wrote about, Stowe claimed that her purpose was to reflect the images as realistically as possible. She usually succeeded, for her settings were often described actually and in detail. In this sense, she was an important forerunner to the realistic movement that became popular later in the 19th century. She was one of the first writers to use local dialect for her characters when they spoke. And shedid this for thirty years before Mark Twain popularized the use of local dialect. It makes sense that Stowe would write about New England life, since she was born in Connecticut. As a young woman there, she worked as a teacher. The teaching job helped lead to her first published work, a geography book for children. Later, when she was married, her writing helped to support her family financially. Throughout her life, she wrote poems, travel books, biographical sketches and children’s books as well as novels for adults.中文翻译:让我们继续对19世纪进行研究,现在来看看Harriet Beecher Stowe。
