U校园新视野大学英语4读写教程答案Unit 7 Energy and food crisesSection A7-2 Text A: The coming energy crisisPre-reading activitiesPre-reading activities-1参考:A. Less than 6 pointsYou may have heard about energy conservation, but you are not giving it the priority it deserves. You must do better.B. Between 6-10 pointsYou are already doing a few basic things, but there is so much more that you could do to show a better awareness for energy conservation.C. Between 11-16 points You display a good awareness of energy saving, but there's still room for improvement.D. Between 17- 20 points You can rightly call yourself an "Energy Saving Champion" - well done and keep up the good work!Pre-reading activities-21) Yes, it's definitely important to conserve energy. There are several reasons. First, it reduces our consumption of fossil fuels which have a fixed quantity of availability and are rapidly diminishing. Second, it saves us money because we don't have to build more power plants. Third, it reduces carbon emission, which will contribute greatly to the improvement of our air quality and natural environment.2) There are many other things we can do to save energy, such as: Not to overheat or overcool our rooms. Reduce the amount of waste we produce by buying minimally packaged goods. Choose reusable products over disposable ones, and recycle. Plan carefully and cluster our errands and shopping to minimize the miles we drive. Use less hot water by installing low-flow shower heads. Install a solarwater heater for our home. Drive a pure electric car (with a back-up generator for out-of-range driving). Walk or ride a bicycle whenever we can. Reading comprehensionReading comprehension-11) The world has depended mainly on non-renewable fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas for its industrial development in the past.2) Fossil fuels have two major problems: Their supply is limited, and they cause health and environmental problems.3) 1) Nuclear power is not really cheap when all costs are considered;2) Disastrous nuclear accidents could happen;3) Nuclear waste can be used improperly to cause damage.4) It means that the time when there is sufficient supply of cheap energy from fossil fuels will soon be over. Here "honeymoon" is used metaphorically.5) The point the author wants to illustrate is: Although renewable energy sources are promising, there are still various problems with these "new energy" technologies. The greatest problem is to find ways to use these technologies more efficiently and at lower costs.6) Biomass energy is a renewable energy option, but the production of it can cause air pollution and ozone layer depletion. The process of producing it is also complicated and costly.7) According to the author, the best solution to the world's energy problem must come from various energy technologies that are non-damaging to the environment, rather than from any single technology.8) The purpose of the text is to convince us that our world will soon be faced with a serious energy crisis,and to urge us to work quickly and cooperatively to find the best solutions.Reading comprehension-21) Yes. Because:Non-renewable fossil fuels are being used up. Nuclear energy is not safe.Renewable energy alternatives are still too expensive, and can't be used on a large scale. Population is increasing fast.Developing countries demand more energy than before because of their economic development.No. Because:There is still abundant oil and natural gas in the ground. There are more known reserves now than there have ever been.Conservation will play a role.Energy efficient products and buildings are becoming more and more common.New energy technologies are being developed and perfected.2) A lot of problems may occur if there is an energy crisis, such as:disruption of energy supplies;rapidly increasing energy prices;declining economic growth;increasing inflation;rising unemployment.3) The key factors that cause the changes of oil prices usually include:changes in oil supply and demand;oil speculation activities;world conflicts;natural disasters;monopoly of the oil-producing nations.4) Yes, nuclear energy should be banned because: Radioactive waste is harmful to people's health. Disastrous nuclear accidents may happen.There is the danger of nuclear proliferation. Exploitation of non-renewable uranium will continue, which will result in the exhaustion of another natural resource.No, nuclear energy shouldn't be banned because: Nuclear energy causes no release of greenhouse gases. Nuclear energy has low operating costs.Nuclear energy can be an extremely reliable source of power if managed well.5) Yes, I agree that China is having a serious energy problem. With China's rapid economic growth and continuously expanding urban population, the demandfor energy is increasing tremendously. The present energy supply can hardly meet the demand from both industry and households, especially in summer months. More electricity has yet to be produced.No, I don't agree that China is facing a serious energy problem. China is a large country with rich natural resources. Though traditional fossil fuels are reported to be running out, there is no hard evidence showing they really are because new coal mines and oil fields could be discovered. Besides, China is serious about the development of renewable energy, and is currently leading the world in renewable energy investment. So, even if fossil fuels become less, China can depend more on solar and wind power for its energy needs in the future.7-3 Text A: Language focusWords in use1. fringe2. unify3. extinct4. indefinite5. slash6. intricate7. inaugurate8. ventilate9. collaboration10. diffusedWord building: Practice Word building: Practice-11) competence2) adolescent3) delegation4) condemnation5) restoration6) preservation7) specification8) reconciliation9) resignation10) speculation11) revelation12) situateWord building: Practice-21. delegation2. restoration3. situate4. specifications5. competence6. adolescent7. condemnation8. reconciliation9. preservation10. resignation11. speculation12. revelation,revelations Banked cloze1) particulates2) viable3) disagree4) cite5) rotary6) vary7) little8) minimize9) locating10) designedExpressions in use1. fill up2. is projected to3. have factored in4. pose a risk to5. clear up6. is derived from7. hinge on8. is upon7-4 Structure analysis & writingStructured writing: Practice参考:As the world's oil supply runs out, it becomes more urgent to develop sustainable energy sources. As one of the available new energy alternatives, nuclear power is good because it is cheap and clean.However, in my mind, it is not a best energy option due to the environment, safety, and health concerns it poses.First, nuclear power poses serious environmental concerns. Though nuclear power plants emit no carbon dioxide, radioactive wastes from them, such as spent fuel rods, can remain active for hundreds or even thousands of years. Safe disposal of these wastes is still not possible. Besides, much of the equipment in the nuclear power plants becomes contaminated with radiation, which can cause serious problems to the local environment. Nuclear power plants also use large quantities of water for steam production and cooling, thus affecting water quality and aquatic life.Second, nuclear power causes great safety concerns. Despite the claim that nuclear power industry has a "superb record" on safety, a few major nuclear disasters have left many people believing that nuclear power plants are not safe enough. Both technical failure and human error can occur, leadingto nuclear accidents. Even if there is no nuclear accident, some by-products of nuclear reactors could be improperly used to make nuclear weapons. Moreover, nuclear power plants could become prime targets for terrorist attacks, and a satisfactory plan to protect nuclear power plants from terrorism is not in place. Third, nuclear power raises a number of health concerns. The small amounts of radioactive material released during routine operations may have detectable medical effects on nearby populations. In the event of a nuclear disaster, health concerns become more obvious. Exposure to radioactive fallout would lead to an increased risk of genetic disorders, cancer and other diseases.As an energy alternative that has low costs and creates no greenhouse gas emissions, nuclear power can be developed and used, but only on a limited scale. It is certainly not a best solution to our energy problem due to the various concerns it causes. To meet our increasing demand for energy, scientists andresearchers have to work harder to find more viable solutions.7-5 TranslationTranslationTranslation-1参考:国际原子能机构是世界核领域的合作中心,它于1957年作为世界性的原子能为和平服务的组织而建立,成为联合国大家庭的一员。
A worldwide food crisis会有全球粮食危机吗?Historically, only local governments worried about a widespread food crisis, but today, a sharp spike in food prices and the resulting food crisis can quickly bee a worldwide phenomenon、Recent droughts along the equator, and in Russia and Ukraine - two countries which account for one-fourth of world wheat exports - caused wheat prices to surge、 Many worry the tight supply will cause inflationary prices、 They fear the skyrocketing grain costs in 2007, which harshly struck the world's poor and led to food riots, will recur、在历史上,只有地方政府才会担心大范围得粮食危机,而如今,粮食价格得急剧上涨及由此导致得粮食危机会很快成为一种全球现象。
最近发生在赤道沿线、俄罗斯及乌克兰得干旱使小麦价格不断飆升——俄罗斯与乌克兰两国小麦出口总量占世界出口总量得四分之一。
许多人担心小麦供应短缺会引发其价格膨胀,她们害怕 2007 年使世界穷人遭受重创并引发食品骚乱得飞涨得粮食价格会再次出现。
Is their fear grounded? Consultancy firms measuring the status of modities like wheat don't think so、 Stocks of wheat are at sufficiently high levels, and harvest turnout from other big producers like the US is expected to stay strong、 So unlike in 2007, the supply situation isn't desperate, meaning wheat prices should eventually calm down and level off、However, this rosy picture provides only temporary security、The bigger picture discloses a reality not so optimistic、 Though current prices aren't as sky-high as in the panicked market of 2007, they're still at higher levels than before and are likely to stay that way、 The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development sees the average prices of products classified as essential such as grains, vegetable oils, and dairy products rising for the next decade、但就是,这一美好得画面只能带来短暂得安心。

A worldwide food crisis会有全球粮食危机吗?Historically, only local governments worried about a widespread food crisis, but today, a sharp spike in food prices and the resulting food crisis can quickly become a worldwide phenomenon. Recent droughts along the equator, and in Russia and Ukraine - two countries which account for one-fourth of world wheat exports - caused wheat prices to surge. Many worry the tight supply will cause inflationary prices. They fear the skyrocketing grain costs in 2007, which harshly struck the world's poor and led to food riots, will recur.在历史上,只有地方政府才会担心大范围的粮食危机,而如今,粮食价格的急剧上涨及由此导致的粮食危机会很快成为一种全球现象。
最近发生在赤道沿线、俄罗斯及乌克兰的干旱使小麦价格不断飆升——俄罗斯和乌克兰两国小麦出口总量占世界出口总量的四分之一。
许多人担心小麦供应短缺会引发其价格膨胀,他们害怕2007 年使世界穷人遭受重创并引发食品骚乱的飞涨的粮食价格会再次出现。
Is their fear grounded? Consultancy firms measuring the status of commodities like wheat don't think so. Stocks of wheat are at sufficiently high levels, and harvest turnout from other big producers like the US is expected to stay strong. So unlike in 2007, the supply situation isn't desperate, meaning wheat prices should eventually calm down and level off.他们的担心有根据吗?负责对像小麦这样的商品现状进行评估的咨询公司并不这样认为。
目前小麦的储备非常充足,并且,重要农业生产国如美国等的农作物生产也有望十分强劲。
所以,与2007 年不同,现在粮食供应状况并不那样令人绝望,这也意味着小麦价格最终会恢复正常并平稳下来。
However, this rosy picture provides only temporary security. The bigger picture discloses a reality not so optimistic. Though current prices aren't as sky-high as in the panicked market of 2007, they're still at higher levels than before and are likely to stay that way. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development sees theaverage prices of products classified as essential such as grains, vegetable oils, and dairy products rising for the next decade.但是,这一美好的画面只能带来短暂的安心。
更大的画面所揭示的现实不容乐观。
虽然目前粮食价格没有达到2007 年引起恐慌的市场上的那种天价,但和以前相比,价格仍然居高不下,而且很有可能维持这样。
经济合作与发展组织认为,谷物、植物油和奶制品这些基本食品的平均价格在未来十年都将持续上涨。
It doesn't take an oracle to foretell that the fight to feed the world will be a huge challenge facing the global economy over the next 20 years. Food production is suffering from decades of neglect of agriculture, a period when the sector was starved of the resources and technology it needed to keep up with rising world demand. Though more and more people are intrigued by the issue and there is a growing global consensus about the need for reform in farming, we're really only at the beginning of a long, expensive, process of repairing world agricultural practices. That means food prices will stay high over the next several years, as will the risk of dangerous price fluctuations like the current one with wheat.未来20 年,让世界上所有人都吃饱饭将是全球经济所面临的巨大挑战,这一点很明确,不需要通过行家来预言。
由于过去几十年对农业的疏忽,粮食生产受到影响,而这几十年正是农业这一行业急需得到资源和技术支持以满足日益增长的世界需求的重要时期。
虽然现在越来越多的人对这一问题表示出兴趣,对农业耕作进行改革的需要也获得全球越来越广泛的认同,但事实上,在修复全球农业作业这样一项耗时长、代价高的工作中,我们还只处于起步阶段。
这也意味着,粮食价格在未来几年会居高不下,正如目前小麦价格波动所带来的风险也会居高不下一样。
Food isn't like garments or other products traded on world markets. The issue of food is filled with emotion. Intermittent uncertainty in food markets will animate people to act when they would otherwise remain calm. No country, for example, wants to run out of food or watchsky-high prices push people into poverty and malnourishment. That canlead to riots or even revolutions. When emotions are running high enough, grain exporters and importers may take extreme measures to prevent a shortage, like hoarding and panic-driven wholesale purchases. In other words, the overreaction of market players will act like a pistol to the head, creating a crisis when none should exist.粮食这一商品和世界市场上交易的衣服或其他商品有所不同。
粮食问题是充满感情色彩的。
粮食市场时断时续的不确定性会促使人们采取行动,而这种不确定性如果涉及的是其他商品,人们则会保持冷静。
比如,没有哪个国家希望出现粮食短缺,眼睁睁看着粮价飞涨而使人们陷入贫穷和营养不良的困境,因为这样会引发骚乱甚至革命。
当人们的情绪积聚到足够高度的时候,粮食出口商和进口商就会采取一些极端的手段,以防止粮食出现短缺。
比如,他们会囤积粮食及因恐慌而大批量购买等等。
换句话说,市场操纵者如果反应过度,其作用就如同指向头部的手枪,会无中生有地制造危机。
Will current prices stay high and volatile? Probably yes. There are enormous structural problems with the agriculture industry that have caused the great imbalance between supply and demand. These problems have a dual nature, one part of it on the production side, and the other on the consumption side.目前的价格会一直居高不下且变化不定吗?很可能会的。
农业产业结构方面存在的诸多问题已经引发了供求关系的巨大失衡。
这些问题具有两面性,一个是生产方面的,另一个是消费方面的。
On the production side, global funding for rural infrastructure or technological research to keep yields growing has been very small, well below what is needed to keep crises at bay and to meet our future food demands. But in the past, whenever economists predicted massive shortages, technological advances like higher-yield strains of wheat would overcome the difference and rescue civilizations from large-scale starvation.在生产方面,全球用于乡村基础设施建设或农业技术研究以保持粮食产量持续增长的资金非常少,大大低于能够使我们避免危机、满足人类未来食品需求所必需的资金投入量。
