TranslationMost scientists no longer doubt that the world is warming up and that humanity has altered climate. They agree that the long-term effects of global warming will be disastrous for the planet and its inhabitants. What is more, climate change won’t be a smooth transition to a warmer world. Some regions will be greatly affected by abrupt climate changes. Enormous areas of densely populated land like coastal Florida would become uninhabitable. Hundreds of millions of residents would have to migrate to safer regions. Therefore, it is no surprise that global warming has made its way onto the agenda of world leaders.UNIT6VocabularyI. 1. 1) the hard way 2) solemn3) wrote out 4) champion5) ownership 6) privilege7) To be sure 8) handicap9) surge 10) cut the ground from under …feet2.1) The committee aims to achieve reconciliation between the two opposingparties.2) The management's refusal to increase the minimum monthly grant.3) Public places such as metro stations, theaters, and museums have beenmade more accessible to the disabled.4) His love for the countryside brought forth a series of remarkablewatercolors.5) It embodies the ideals of freedom and equality.3.1) The books are keyed to the interests of children.2) We will not stand by and let the small village schools get closed for lackof funds.3) Their response was in effect a refusal to our request though they didn'tturn it down explicitly.4) Generous to a fault, he paid for all the expenses5) We shall always feel we are deeply in your debt.4. 1) Under the leadership of Sam Walton, Wal-Mart prospered at an amazing speed.

Every employee has a strong sense of obligation to the company and boundless enthusiasm for the work."2) Most chapters of this book are dedicated to the effects of games on children. According to the author, in performing and observing actions, like the collision of two objects, babies can have first-hand experience of the relations implicit in the phenomena. And team sports can help to shape children's personality in a positive way, because they can learn how to cooperate with each other in the competition.3) Martin Luther King and Rosa Parker had a lot in common.

TranslationMost scientists no longer doubt that the world is warming up and that humanity has altered climate. They agree that the long-term effects of global warming will be disastrous for the planet and its inhabitants. What is more, climate change won’t be a smooth transition to a warmer world. Some regions will be greatly affected by abrupt climate changes. Enormous areas of densely populated land like coastal Florida would become uninhabitable. Hundreds of millions of residents would have to migrate to safer regions. Therefore, it is no surprise that global warming has made its way onto the agenda of world leaders.UNIT6VocabularyI. 1. 1) the hard way 2) solemn3) wrote out 4) champion5) ownership 6) privilege7) To be sure 8) handicap9) surge 10) cut the ground from under …feet2.1) The committee aims to achieve reconciliation between the two opposingparties.2) The management's refusal to increase the minimum monthly grant.3) Public places such as metro stations, theaters, and museums have beenmade more accessible to the disabled.4) His love for the countryside brought forth a series of remarkablewatercolors.5) It embodies the ideals of freedom and equality.3.1) The books are keyed to the interests of children.2) We will not stand by and let the small village schools get closed for lackof funds.3) Their response was in effect a refusal to our request though they didn'tturn it down explicitly.4) Generous to a fault, he paid for all the expenses5) We shall always feel we are deeply in your debt.4. 1) Under the leadership of Sam Walton, Wal-Mart prospered at an amazing speed.

Every employee has a strong sense of obligation to the company and boundless enthusiasm for the work."2) Most chapters of this book are dedicated to the effects of games on children. According to the author, in performing and observing actions, like the collision of two objects, babies can have first-hand experience of the relations implicit in the phenomena. And team sports can help to shape children's personality in a positive way, because they can learn how to cooperate with each other in the competition.3) Martin Luther King and Rosa Parker had a lot in common.

TranslationRobert Lee’s father’s life had been plagued by poor financial investments. He was jailed twice for unpaid debts and in the end was forced to flee the country. Lee’s mother was the dominant force in shaping Lee’s personality. Against the poignant failure of her husband, she was determined that the tragedy should not be repeated in the life of her children. Self-control, a sense of obligation and an indomitable spirit were the virtues she taught Lee. In 1825, with an aspiration to win back the family honor, Lee began studying at West Point Military Academy. This began a new chapter of his life. Over the four years, he consistently finished near the top of every course.UNIT7VocabularyI. 1. 1) anonymous 2) piling up3) advent 4) sober up5) articulate 6) dwindle7) not least of all 8) vague9) busted 10) rotting2. 1) Its theme was that philosophy has very close links with mathematics andartificial intelligence.2) He is illiterate; worse still, he has a criminal record and lives in a world oflies and deceit.3) They carried out first aid to save the patient from bleeding to death.4) They suggested that I go for broke, and be undeterred in pursuit of mydream.5) He thinks it highly unlikely that such good luck will come his way again.3.1) The advent of spring —symbol of renewal —has been a constant theme inEdward's writings.2) Why those nasty things were being said of her was just beyond hercomprehension, and as for myself I have never heard anything so offensive in all my life.3) Malcolm Padina, managing director of Informix Software Inc, has called for anew initiative to purge the market of software pirates / software pirates from the market.4) New evidence implicated Melancia in a financial scandal in February 2008.5) Pains were tearing at my chest as I was running a two-mile race.

They not only have to endure the pain of having their wealth wiped away overnight, but they are also frequently overwhelmed with feelings of depression and hopelessness.A nationwide survey found that over 2 million adults identified a spouse's gambling as a significant factor in a prior divorce. The number of divorces in a county in Mississippi has nearly tripled since the advent of casinos. The county has also witnessed increases in domestic violence since then.A considerable body of evidence showed that the expansion of legally sanctioned gambling destroys individuals, ruins families, increases crime, and ultimately costs society far more than the revenues government collects.。
Unit6 Grant and Lee格兰特和李1865年4月9日,当尤利西兹·S·格兰特和罗伯特·E·李在弗吉尼亚州阿珀马特科斯县城一所不太大的房子的客厅里会面,商讨李所率的北弗吉尼亚军队投降条件时,美国人生活中一个伟大的篇章结束了,一个崭新的重要篇章开始了。
此二人是在实质上终止内战。
诚然,其他军队尚未投降,已失去主要支柱的逃亡的邦联政府仍将绝望地徒然挣扎数日,想法寻觅生机。
其实,在格兰特和李签署文件之时,一切都已结束。
他们拟定投降条件时用的那间小客厅成了见证美国史上强烈的戏剧性对照的场所。
这两位截然不同的将军都是强有力的人物,他们代表着两股相互冲突的力量的潮流,那两股潮流通过他们最终发生碰撞。
罗伯特·E·李所仰仗的信念是,古老的贵族观念或许能以某种方式继续存在下去,并左右美国人的生活。
李是弗吉尼亚州沿海低地人氏,他的生活背景是家庭、文化、传统……,是被移植到这个正在形成自身的传说与神话的新世界的骑士时代。
他体现了从骑士和英格兰乡绅时代流传下来的一种生活方式。
美国是个一切从头开始的国度,信奉的只不过是一种颇为模糊的信念,即人人拥有平等的权利,在世间应有平等的机会,如此而已。
在这样一个国度里,李代表着这样一种情感,即社会结构中保留一种明显的不平等多少有利于人类社会。
理应存在一个拥有土地的有闲阶级;反过来,社会本身应以土地为本,视其为财富与势力的主要来源。
(根据这一理想)这样一个社会会造就一个对社会有着强烈责任感的阶级,他们不是为自己获利活着,而是为了承担自己的特权所赋予的重大责任活着。
国家从他们中觅得领导人员;国家可依靠他们产生更加高尚的价值观念——思想方面的,行为方面的,个人风度方面的—以求国兴德盛。
李体现了这一贵族理想的最高尚的部分。
拥有土地的贵族通过他获得存在的理由。
四年间,南方各州拼死战斗,以捍卫李所代表的理想。
到后来,南部邦联似乎是为李而战;李本人似乎就是南部邦联……似乎是南部邦联所代表的生活方式能提供的菁华。
