Dr Johnson provided the solution .在约翰逊的词典在1775年出版以前,有⼈担⼼英语语⾔的状态。

约翰逊提供了解决⽅案。
There had ,of course ,been dictionaries in the past ,the first of these being a little book of some 120 pages , compiled by a certain Robert Cawdray ,published in 1604 under the title‘ a table Alphabeticall ’of hard usuall English words’ like the various dictionaries that came after it during the seventeenth century. Cawdray‘s tended to concentrate on ‘scholarly’ words;one function of the dictionary was to enable its student to convey an impression of fine learning . beyond the practical need to make order out of chaos ,the rise of dictionaries is associated with the rise of the English middle class, who were an anxious to define and circumscribe the various worlds to conquer –lexical as well as social and commercial .it is highly appropriate that Dr Samuel Johnson ,the very model of an eighteenth-century literary man, as famous in his own time as in ours, should have published his dictionary at the very beginning of the heyday of the middle class.有,当然,字典在过去,第⼀个是⼀些120页的⼩书,罗伯特•Cawdray⼀定编制的1604年出版的a table Alphabeticall下usuall英语单词“像之前的各种词典在17世纪。

Some can manage on a lot less. Baroness Thatcher, for example, was reported to be able to get by on four hours' sleep a night when she was Prime Minister of Britain. Dr Jill Wilkinson, senior lecturer in psychology at Surrey University and co-author of 'Psychology in Counselling and Therapeutic Practice', states that healthy individuals sleeping less than five hours or even as little as two hours in every 24 hours are rare, but represent a sizeable minority.Section BThe latest beliefs are that the main purposes of sleep are to enable the body to rest and replenish, allowing time for repairs to take place and for tissue to be regenerated. One supporting piece of evidence for thisrest-and¬repair theory is that production of the growth hormone somatotropin, which helps tissue to regenerate, peaks while we are asleep. Lack of sleep, however, can compromise the immune system, muddle thinking, cause depression, promote anxiety and encourage irritability.Section CResearchers in San Diego deprived a group of men of sleep between Sam and lam on just one night, and found that levels of their bodies' natural defences against viral infections had fallen significantly when measured the following morning. 'Sleep is essential for our physical and emotional well-being and there are few aspects of daily living that are not disrupted by the lack of it', says Professor William Regelson of Virginia University, a specialist in insomnia. 'Because it can seriously undermine the functioning of the immune system, sufferers are vulnerable to infection.'Section DFor many people, lack of sleep is rarely a matter of choice. Some have problems getting to sleep, others with staying asleep until the morning. Despite popular belief that sleep is one long event, research shows that, in an average night, there are five stages of sleep and four cycles, during which the sequence of stages is repeated. In the first light phase, the heart rate and blood pressure go down and the muscles relax. In the next two stages, sleep gets progressively deeper. In stage four, usually reached after an hour, the slumber is so deep that, if awoken, the sleeper would be confused and disorientated. It is in this phase that sleep-walking can occur, with an average episode lasting no more than 15 minutes. In the fifth stage, the rapid eye movement (REM) stage, the heartbeat quickly gets back to normal levels, brain activity accelerates to daytime heights and above and the eyes move constantly beneath closed lids as if the sleeper is looking at something. During this stage, the body is almost paralysed. This REM phase is also the time when we dream.Section ESleeping patterns change with age, which is why many people over 60 develop insomnia. In America, that age group consumes almost half the sleep medication on the market. One theory for the age-related change is that it is due to hormonal changes. The temperature General Training: Reading and Writing rise occurs at daybreak in the young, but at three or four in the morning in the elderly. Age aside, it is estimated that roughly one in three people suffer some kind of sleep disturbance. Causes can be anything from pregnancy and stress to alcohol and heart disease. Smoking is a known handicap to sleep, with one survey showing that ex-smokers got to sleep in 18 minutes rather than their earlier average of 52 minutes.Section FApart from self-help therapy such as regular exercise, there are psychological treatments, including relaxationtraining and therapy aimed at getting rid of pre-sleep worries and anxieties. There is also sleep reduction therapy, where the aim is to improve sleep quality by strictly regulating the time people go to bed and when they get up. Medication is regarded by many as a last resort and often takes the form of sleeping pills, normally benzodiazepines, which are minor tranquillisers.Section GProfessor Regelson advocates the use of melatonin for treating sleep disorders. Melatonin is a naturally secreted hormone, located in the pineal gland deep inside the brain. The main function of the hormone is to control the body's biological clock, so we know when to sleep and when to wake. The gland detects light reaching it through the eye; when there is no light, it secretes the melatonin into the bloodstream, lowering the body temperature and helping to induce sleep. Melatonin pills contain a synthetic version of the hormone and are commonly used for jet lag as well as for sleep disturbance. John Nicholls, sales manager of one of America's largest health food shops, claims that sales of the pill have increased dramatically. He explains that it is sold in capsules, tablets, lozenges and mixed with herbs. It is not effective for all insomniacs, but many users have weaned themselves off sleeping tablets as a result of its application.Question 28-35The passage on the previous page has seven sections labelled A-G.Which section contains the following information?Write the correct letter A-G in boxes 28-35 on your answer sheet.NB you may use any letter more than once28 the different amounts of sleep that people require29 an investigation into the results of sleep depression30 some reasons why people may suffer from sleep disorders31 lifestyle changes which can help overcome sleep related problems32 a process by which sleep helps us to remain mentally and physically health33 claims about a commercialized man-made product for sleeplessness34 the role of physical changes in sleeping habits35 the processes involved during sleepQuestion 36-40Do the following statements agree with the information given in the passage?In boxes 36-40 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this36 Sleep can cure some illness.37 The various stages of sleep occur more than once a night.38 Dreaming and sleep-walking occur at similar stages of sleep.39 Sleepers move around a lot during the REM stage of sleep.40 The body temperature rises relatively early in elderly people.剑桥雅思5 general readingSection 1 Questions 1-14Read the information below and answer questions 1-7.WALK FOR CHARITYDear Friend,Please join us for our annual Walk for Charity.

The fireflies are a huge groupcontaining over 2000 species, with new ones being discovered all the time. The feature which makes fireflies and glow-worms so appealing is their ability to produce an often dazzling display of light. The light is used by the adult fireflies as a signal to attract a mate, and each species must develop its own 'call-sign' to avoid being confused with other species glowing nearby. So within any one area each species will differ from its neighbours in some way, For example in the colour or pattern of its light, how long the pulses of light last, the interval between pulses and whether it displays in flight or from the ground.BThe fireflies' almost magical light has attracted human attention for generations. It is described in an ancient Chinese encyclopaedia written over 2000 years ago by a pupil of Confucius. Fireflies often featured in Japanese and Arabian folk medicine. All over the world they have been the inspiration for countless poems, paintings and stories. In Britain, for example, there are plenty of anecdotes describing how glow-worms have been used to read by or used as emergency bicycle lamps when a cyclist's batteries have failed without warning. Early travellers in the New World came back with similar stories, of how the native people of Central America would collect a type of click beetle and release them indoors to light up their huts. Girls threaded them around their feet to illuminate the forest paths at night.Fireflies very similar to those we see today have been found fossilised in rocks which were formed about 30 million years ago, and their ancestors were probably glowing long before then. It is impossible to be sure exactly when and where the first firefly appeared. The highest concentrations of firefly species today are to be found in the tropics of South America, which may mean either that this is where they First evolved, or simply that they prefer the conditions there.Wherever they first arose, fireflies have since spread to almost every part of the globe. Today members of the firefly family can be found almost anywhere outside the Arctic and Antarctic circles.CAs with many insects, the glow-worm's life is divided into four distinct stages: the egg, the larva (equivalent to the caterpillar of a butterfly), the pupa (or chrysalis) and the adult. The glow-worm begins its life in the autumn as a pale yellow egg. The freshly laid egg is extremely fragile but within a day its surface has hardened into a shell. The egg usually takes about 35 days to hatch, but the exact time varies according to the temperature, from about 27 days in hot weather to more than 45 days in cold weather. By the time it is due to hatch, the glow-worm's light organ is fully developed, and its glow signals that the egg will soon hatch.After it has left the egg, the larva slowly grows from a few millimetres into the size and shape of a matchstick. The larval stage is the only time the insect can feed. The larva devotes much of its life to feeding and building up its food reserves so that as an adult it will be free to concentrate all its efforts on the task of finding a mate and reproducing. Throughout its time as a larva, approximately 15 months, the glow-worm emits a bright light. The larva's light is much fainter than the adult female's but it can still be seen more than five metres away.In the final stage of a glow-worm's life, the larva encases itself in a pupa) skin while it changes from the simple larva to the more complex adult fly. When the adult Ay emerges from the pupa the male seeks a female with whom it can mate. After mating, the female lays about 120 eggs. The adult flies have no mouth parts, cannot eat and therefore only live a few days. When people talk of seeing a glow-worm they normally mean the brightly glowing adult female.DIn some countries the numbers of glow-worms have been falling. Evidence suggests that there has been a steady decrease in the British glow-worm population since the 1950s and possibly before that. Possible causes for the decline include habitat destruction, pollution and changes in climate. Thousands of acres of grassland have beenbuilt upon and glow-worm sites have become increasingly isolated from each other. The widespread use of pesticides and fertilisers may also have endangered the glow-worm. Being at the top of a food chain it is likely to absorb any pollutants eaten by the snails on which it feeds. The effect of global warming on rainfall and other weather patterns may also be playing a part in the disappearance of glow-worms. A lot more research will be needed, however, before the causes of the glow-worm's gradual decline are clear.EAlthough glow-worms are found wherever conditions are damp, food is in good supply and there is an over-hanging wall, they are most spectacular in caves. For more than 100 years the glow-worm caves in New Zealand have attracted millions of people from all over the world. The caves were first explored in 1887 by a local Maori chief, Tane Tinorau, and an English surveyor, Fred Mace. They built a craft and, with candles as their only light, they floated into the cave where the stream goes underground. As their eyes adjusted to the darkness they saw myriad lights reflecting off the water. Looking up they discovered that the ceiling was dotted with the lights of thousands of glow-worms. They returned many times to explore further, and on an independent trip Tane discovered the upper level of the cave and an easier access. The authorities were advised and government surveyors mapped the caves. By 1888 Tane Tinorau had opened the cave to tourists.Questions 28-33The passage on the previous pages has five sections labelled A-E.Which section mentions the following?Write the correct letter A-E in boxes 28-33 on your answer sheet.NB You may use any letter more than once.28 threats to the glow-worm29 ways in which glow-worms have been used30 variations in type of glow-worm31 glow-worm distribution32 the life-circle of a glow-wormQuestion 34-40Do the following statements agree with he information given in the passage?In boxes 36-40 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this34 Scientists have only recently been able to list the exact number of glow-worm species.35 The first fireflies appeared 30 million years ago.36 Glow-worm populations are decreasing faster in some countries than in others.37 Heat affects the production of glow-worm larvae.38 Adulthood is the longest stage of a glow-worm’s life.39 The exact reason why glow-worm numbers are decreasing is unknown.40 Glow-worms are usually found in wet areas.。

There was no standardway of speaking or writing and noagreement as to the best way of bringingsome order to the chaos of Englishspelling. Dr Johnson provided thesolution. There had, of course, beendictionaries in the past, the first ofthese being a little book of some 120pages, compiled by a certain RobertCawdray, published in 1604under the title A Table Alphabeticall 'ofhardusuall English wordes'. Like the variousdictionaries that came after it duringtheseventeenth century, Cawdray's tended toconcentrate on 'scholarly' words; onefunction of the dictionary was to enableits student to convey an impression offine learning.Beyond the practical need to make orderout of chaos, the rise of dictionaries isassociated with the rise of the Englishmiddle class, who were anxious to defineand circumscribe the various worlds toconquer- lexical as well as social andcommercial. It is highly appropriatethat Dr Samuel Johnson, the very model ofan eighteenth-century literary man, asfamousin his own time as in ours, shouldhavepublished his Dictionary at the verybeginning of the heyday of the middleclass.Johnson was a poet and critic who raised common sense to the heights of genius. His approach to the problems that had worried writers throughout the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centurieswas intensely practical. Up until his time,the task of producing a dictionary on sucha large scale had seemed impossible without the establishment of an academy to make decisions about right and wrong usage. Johnson decided he did not need an academy to settle arguments about language; he would write a dictionary himself; and he would do it single-handed.Johnson signed the contract for the Dictionary with the bookseller Robert Dosley at a breakfast held at the Golden Anchor Inn near Holborn Bar on 18 June 1764. He was to be paid ~1,575 in instalments, and from this he took money to rent 17 Gough Square, in which he set up his 'dictionary workshop'.James Boswell, his biographer, described the garret where Johnson worked as 'fittedup like a counting house' with a long desk running down the middle at which the copying clerks would work standing up.P17Johnson himself was stationed on a rickety chair at an 'old crazy deal table' surrounded by a chaos of borrowed books. He was also helped by six assistants, two of whom died whilst the Dictionary was still in preparation. The work was immense; filling about eighty large notebooks (and without a library to hand), Johnson wrote the definitions of over 40,000 words, and illustrated their many meanings with some 114,000 quotations drawn from English writing on every subject, from the Elizabethans to his own time. He did not expect to achieve complete originality,Working to a deadline, he had to draw on the best of all previous dictionaries, and to make his work one of heroic synthesis. In fact, it was very much more. Unlike his predecessors, Johnson treated English very practically, as a living language, with many different shades of meaning. He adopted his definitions on the principle of English common law- according to precedent. After its publication, his Dictionary was not seriously rivalled for over a century. After many vicissitudes the Dictionary was finally published on 15 April 1775. It was instantly recognised as a landmark throughout Europe. 'This very noble work,' wrote the leading Italian lexicographer, 'will be a perpetual monument of Fame to the Author, an Honour to his own Country in particular, and a general Benefit to the republic of Letters throughout Europe.' The fact that Johnson had taken on the Academies of Europe and matched them (everyone knew that forty French academics had taken forty years to produce the first French national dictionary) was cause for much Englis h celebration. Johnson had worked for nine years, 'with little assistance of the learned , and without any patronage of the great; not in the soft obscurities of retirement, or under the shelter of academic bowers, but amidst inconvenience and distraction, in sickness and in sorrow'. For all its faults and eccentricities his two-volume work is a masterpiece and a landmark, in his own words, 'setting the orthography, displaying the analogy, regulating the structures, and ascertaining the significations of English words'. It is thecornerstone of Standard English, an achievement which, in James Boswell's words,'conferred stability on the language of his country'. The Dictionary, together with his other writing, made Johnson famous and so well esteemed that his friends were able to prevail upon King George III to offer him a pension. From then on, he was to become the Johnson of folklore.P18Questions 1-3Choose THREE letters A-HWrite your answers in boxes 1-3 on your answer sheet.NB Your answers may be given in any orderWhich THREE of the following statements are true of Johnson's Dictionary?A It avoided all scholarly words.B It was the only English dictionary in general use for 200 years.C It was famous because of the large number of people involved.D It focused mainly on language from contemporary texts.E There was a time limit for its completion.F It ignored work done by previous dictionary writers.G It took into account subtleties of meaning.H Its definitions were famous for their originality.Questions 4-7Complete the summaryChoose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answerWrite your answers in boxes 4-7 on your answer sheet.In 1764 Dr Johnson accepted the contract to produce a dictionary.

Johnson did not have a 5……………available to him, but eventually produced definitions of in excess of 40,000 words written down in 80 large notebooks. On publication, the Dictionary was immediately hailed in many European countries as a landmark. According t o his biographer, James Boswell, Johnson's principal achievement was to bring 6…………to the English language. As a reward for his hard work, he was granted a 7…………by the king.P19Questions 8-13Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?In boxes 8-13 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the information FALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this8The growing importance of the middle classes led to an increased demand for dictionaries.9Johnson has become more well known since his death.10Johnson had been planning to write a dictionary for several years. 11Johnson set up an academy to help with the writing of his Dictionary. 12Johnson only received payment for his Dictionary on its completion. 13Not all of the assistants survived to see the publication of the Dictionary.P20READING PASSAGE 2You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 14-26, which are based on Reading Passage 2 below.Nature or Nurture?A A few years ago, in one of the most fascinating and disturbing experimentsin behavioural psychology, Stanley Milgram of Yale University tested 40 subjects from all walks of life for their willingness to obey instructions given by a 'leader' in a situation in which the subjects might feel a personal distaste for the actions they were called upon to perform.Specifically, Milgram told each volunteer 'teacher-subject' that the experiment was in the noble cause of education, and was designed to test whether or not punishing pupils for their mistakes would have a positive effect on the pupils' ability to learn.B Milgram's experimental set-up involved placing the teacher-subjectbefore a panel of thirty switches with labels ranging from '15 volts of electricity (slight shock)' to '450 volts (danger - severe shock)' in steps of 15 volts each. The teacher-subject was told that whenever the pupil gave the wrong answer to a question, a shock was to be administered, beginnin9 at the lowest level and increasing in severity with each successive wrong answer The supposed 'pupil' was in reality an actor hiredby Milgram to simulate receiving the shocks by emitting a spectrum of groans, screams and writhings together with an assortment of statementsand expletives denouncing both the experiment and the experimenter.Milgram told the teacher-subject to ignore the reactions of the pupil, and to administer whatever level of shock was called for, as per the rule governing the experimental situation of the moment.C As the experiment unfolded, the pupil would deliberately give the wronganswers to questions posed by the teacher, thereby bringing on various electrical punishments, even up to the danger level of 300 volts and beyond.Many of the teacher-subjects balked at administering the higher levels of punishment, and turned to Milgram with questioning looks and/or complaints about continuing the experiment. In these situations, Milgram calmly explained that the teacher-subject was to ignore the pupil's cries for mercy and carry on with the experiment. If the subject was still reluctant to proceed, Milgram said that it was important for the sake of the experiment that the procedure be followed through to the end. His final argument was, 'You have no other choice. You must go on.' What Milgram was trying to discover was the number of teacher-subjects who would be willing to administer the highest levels of shock, even in the face of strong personal and moral revulsion against the rules and conditions of the experiment.P21D Prior to carrying out the experiment, Milgram explained his idea to a groupof 39 psychiatrists and asked them to predict the average percentage of people in an ordinary population who would be willing to administer the highest shock level of 450 volts. The overwhelming consensus was that virtually all the teacher-subjects would refuse to obey the experimenter.The psychiatrists felt that 'most subjects would not go beyond 150 volts' and they further anticipated that only four per cent would go up to 300 volts. Furthermore, they thought that only a lunatic fringe of about one in 1,000 would give the highest shock of 450 volts.E What were the actual results? Well, over 60 per cent of the teacher-subjectscontinued to obey Milgram up to the 450-volt limit! In repetitions of the experiment in other countries, the percentage of obedient teacher-subjects was even higher, reaching 85 per cent in one country. How can we possibly account for this vast discrepancy between what calm,rational, knowledgeable people predict in the comfort of their study and what pressured, flustered, but cooperative 'teachers' actually do in the laboratory of real life?F One's first inclination might be to argue that there must be some sort ofbuilt-in animal aggression instinct that was activated by the experiment, and that Milgram's teacher- subjects were just following a genetic need to discharge this pent-up primal urge onto the pupil by administering the electrical shock. A modern hard-core sociobiologist might even go so far as to claim that this aggressive instinct evolved as an advantageous trait, having been of survival value to our ancestors in their struggle against the hardships of life on the plains and in the caves, ultimately finding its way into our genetic make-up as a remnant of our ancient animal ways.G An alternative to this notion of genetic programming is to see theteacher-subjects' actions as a result of the social environment under which the experiment was carried out. As Milgram himself pointed out, 'Mostsubjects in the experiment see their behaviour in a larger context that is benevolent and useful to society - the pursuit of scientific truth. The psychological laboratory has a strong claim to legitimacy and evokes trust and confidence in those who perform there. An action such as shocking a victim, which in isolation appears evil, acquires a completely different meaning when placed in this setting.'H Thus, in this explanation the subject merges his unique personality andpersonal and moral code with that of larger institutional structures, surrendering individual properties like loyalty, self-sacrifice and discipline to the service of malevolent systems of authority.I Here we have two radically different explanations for why so manyteacher-subjects were willing to forgo their sense of personal responsibility for the sake of an institutional authority figure. The problem for biologists, psychologists and anthropologists is to sort out which of these two polar explanations is more plausible. This, in essence, is the problem of modern sociobiology - to discover the degree to which hard-wired genetic programming dictates, or at least strongly biases, the interaction of animals and humans with their environment, that is, their behaviour. Put another way, sociobiology is concerned with elucidating the biological basis of all behaviour.P22Questions 14-19Reading Passage 2 has nine paragraphs, A-I.Which paragraph contains the following information?Write the correct letter A-I in boxes 14-19 on your answer sheet.14 a biological explanation of the teacher-subjects' behaviour15the explanation Milgram gave the teacher-subjects for the experiment 16the identity of the pupils17the expected statistical outcome18the general aim of sociobiological study19the way Milgram persuaded the teacher-subjects to continue Questions 20-22Choose the correct letter, A, B, C or D.Write your answers in boxes 20-22 on your answer sheet.20The teacher-subjects were told that they were testing whetherA a 450-volt shock was dangerous.B punishment helps learning.C the pupils were honest.D they were suited to teaching.21The teacher-subjects were instructed toA stop when a pupil asked them to.B denounce pupils who made mistakes.C reduce the shock level after a correct answer.D give punishment according to a rule.22Before the experiment took place the psychiatristsA believed that a shock of 150 volts was too dangerous.B failed to agree on how the teacher-subjects would respond toinstructions.C underestimated the teacher-subjects' willingness to comply withexperimental procedure.D thought that many of the teacher-subjects would administer ashock of 450 volts.P23Questions 23-26Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 2?In boxes 23-26 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the information FALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this23Several of the subjects were psychology students at Yale University. 24Some people may believe that the teacher-subjects' behaviour could be explained as a positive survival mechanism.25In a sociological explanation, personal values are more powerfu l than authority.26Milgram's experiment solves an important question in sociobiology.P24READING PASSAGE 3You shouM spend about 20 minutes on Questions 27-40, which are basedP25P26Questions 27-32Do the following statements agree with the claims of the writer in Reading Passage 3?In boxes 27-32 on your answer sheet, writeYES if the statement agrees with the writer's claims NO if the statement contradicts the writer's claims NOT GIVEN if it is impossible to say what the writer thinksabout this27Environmentalists take a pessimistic view of the world for a number of reasons.28Data on the Earth's natural resources has only been collected since 1972.29The number of starving people in the world has increased in recent years.30Extinct species are being replaced by new species.31 Some pollution problems have been correctly linked toindustrialisation.32It would be best to attempt to slow down economic growth.P27Questions 33-37Choose the correct letter, ,A, B, C or D.Write your answers in boxes 33-37 on your answer sheet.33 What aspect of scientific research does the writer express concern aboutin paragraph 4?A the need to produce resultsB the lack of financial supportC the selection of areas to researchD the desire to solve every research problem34 The writer quotes &om the Worldwide Fund for Nature to illustrate howA influential the mass media can be.B effective environmental groups can be.C the mass media can help groups raise funds.D environmental groups can exaggerate their claims.35 What is the writer's main point about lobby groups in paragraph 6?A Some are more active than others.B Some are better organised than others.C Some receive more criticism than others.D Some support more important issues than others.36 The writer suggests that newspapers print items that are intended toA educate readers.B meet their readers' expectations.C encourage feedback from readers.D mislead readers.37 What does the writer say about America's waste problem?A It will increase in line with population growth.B It is not as important as we have been led to believe.C It has been reduced through public awareness of the issues.D It is only significant in certain areas of the country.P28Questions 38-40C o m p l e t e t h e s u m m a r y w i t h t h e l i s t o f w o r d s A-I b e l o w.W r i t e t h e c o r r e c t l e t t e r A-I i n b o x e s38-40o n y o u ra n s w e r s h e e t.GLOBAL WARMINGThe writer admits that global warming is a 38…………challenge, but says not have a catastrophic impact on our future, if we deal with it in the 39…………………way.If we try to reduce the levels of greenhouse gases, he believes that it would only have a minimal impact on rising temperatures.

It became the wonder product of the new world of industrial expansion - 'the material of a thousand uses'. Being both non-porous and heat-resistant, Bakelite kitchen goods were promoted as being germ-free and sterilisable. Electrical manufacturers seized on its insulating properties, and consumers everywhere relished its dazzling array of shades, delighted that they were now, at last, no longer restricted to the wood tones and drab browns of the pre- plastic era. It then fell from favour again during the 1950s, and was despised and destroyed in vast quantities. Recently, however, it has been experiencing something of a renaissance, with renewed demand for original Bakelite objects in the collectors' P39making possible its preparation on a commercial basis. On 13 July 1907, Baekelandtook out his famous patent describing this preparation, the essential features ofwhich are still in use today.The original patent outlined a three-stage process,in which phenol and formaldehyde(from wood or coal) were initially combined under vacuum inside a large egg-shaped kettle.The result was a resin known as Novalak, which became soluble and malleable when heated. The resin was allowed to cool in shallow trays until it hardened, and then broken up and ground into powder. Other substances were then introduced: including fillers, such as woodflour, asbestos or cotton, which increase strength and moisture resistance, catalysts substances to speed up the reaction between two chemicals without joining to either) and hexa, a compound of ammonia and formaldehyde which supplied the additional formaldehyde necessary to form a thermosetting resin. Thisresin was then left to cool and arden, and ground up a second time. The resulting granular powder was raw Bakelite, ready o be made into a vast range of manufactured objects. In the last stage, the heated Bakelite was poured into a hollow mould ofthe required shape and subjected to extreme heat and ressure, thereby 'setting' itsform for life. The design of Bakelite objects, everything from earrings to television sets, was governed to a large extent by the technical requirements of the moulding process. The object could not be designed so that it was locked into the mould and therefore difficult to extract. A common general rule was that objects should taper towards the deepest part of the mould, and if necessary the product was moulded in separate pieces. Moulds had to be carefully designed so that the molten Bakelite would flow evenly and completely into the mould. Sharp corners proved impracticaland were thus avoided, giving rise to the smooth, 'streamlined' style popular inthe 1930s. The thickness of the walls of the mould was also crucial: thick wallstook longer to cool and harden, a factor which had to be considered by the designer。

雅思剑5听力原文
雅思剑5听力原文RECEPTIONIST: Good afternoon, Dreamtime Travel. How can I help you?CUSTOMER: Oh hello. I'm interested in the holidays you offer along the coast near here.RECEPTIONIST: Yes. We operate several tours up the coast. Where in particular did you want to go?CUSTOMER: Well, I like the sound of the holiday that mentioned whales. Was it'Whale Watching'?RECEPTIONIST: Oh, that's our Whale Watch Experience. it's very popular and it's based in a lovely little town with nice beaches.CUSTOMER: Oh right, and how long does it last?RECEPTIONIST: It's two days - that includes four hours' travel time each way from here.CUSTOMER: Good, I don't want to be away any longer than that. So is that by coach? RECEPTIONIST: Actually it's by minibus. We like to keep those tours small andpersonal so we don't take a whole coachload of people. in fact, weonly take up to fifteen people on this tour, although wedo run it with just twelve or thirteen.CUSTOMER: Oh, right. So do you run these tours often?RECEPTIONIST: Well it depends on the time of year. Of course in peak times like the summer holidays we do them every weekend, but at the moment it's usually once a month at most.CUSTOMER: And when is the next one going?RECEPTIONIST: Mom, let me see. Um, there's one in three weeks' time which is April the 18th, and then we don't have another one until June the 2nd.CUSTOMER: All right, and is April a good time to go?RECEPTIONIST: Pretty good. Though the really good time is later in the year. I have to say though that the whale sighting is only one of the many things offered.C: Really?R: Yes.The hotel itself where you stay has great facilities. It's called The pal .C: The Paris what?R: No, it's actually The Pal , P-A-L-L-I-S-A-D-E-S. It's right on the main beachthere.C: Oh, I see.R: All of the rooms have nice views and the food is reallygood there too.C: Oh right.C: And what about the other things? You know, that are included in the price.R: Oh, there are lots of things. If you don't want to do the whale watch cruise, your guide will take anyone who is interested either on a bushwalk through the national park near the hotel, and there's no extra charge for that, or on a fishing trip. That's an extra $12 I think. And there's also a reptile park in town - that costs more or less the same.C: No, I think I'd prefer whales to snakes.R: Yeah. And if you just want to relax you are free to sit by the hotel pool or go downthe beach. Oh, and they also have tennis courts at the hotel, but you have to payfor those by the hour. But there are table tennis tables downstairs and they're part of the accommodation package. Just speak to your guide.C: Well that sounds good. So how much is the basic tour price?R: At this time of year it's usually around $300 but let me check. Er...oh, it's actually $280.C:And the next tour, are there any places on that one?R: HOW many people Is It for?C: These are two of us.R: Yes, that should be fine. Can I just mention that we require all bookings to be made at least fourteen days before you travel to avoid cancellations of tours. And if you cancel within seven days of departure you will have to pay 50% of your total booking.C: OK.R: And you also need to pay a 20% deposit at the time of booking.C: Can I pay that by credit card?R: Yes, you can.C: All right, what I'll do is I'll talk to my partner and get back to you.R: Fine. So I'll make a provisional booking, shall I? - two for the Whale Watch Experience. Let me issue you with a customer reference number for when you call back. Do you have a pen?C: Yes.R: OK, it's three nine seven, four five, T. That's T for tango. When you call back, ask to speak to the Tour Manager, that's me, Tracy.C: Fine, I will。

CUSTOMER: Good,I don't want to be away any longer than that. So is that by coach?RECEPTIONIST:Actually it's by minibus。
We like to keep those tours small andpersonal so we don't take a whole coachload of people. in fact, weonly take up to fifteen people on this tour,although we do run itwith just twelve or thirteen。
剑5 T4 Passage 2 Flawed Beauty:Toughened glasses
16 Graham Dodd
Ironically, says Graham Dodd, of consulting engineers Arup in London, the oldest pane of toughened glass known to have failed due to nickel sulphide inclusions was in Pilkington's glass research building in Lathom,Lancashire. The pane was 27 years old.
When this happens, the crystals expand by up to 4%. And if they are within the central, tensile region of the pane, the stresses this unleashes can shatter the whole sheet. The time that elapses before failure occurs is unpredictable. It could happen just months after manufacture, or decades later, although if the glass is heated - by sunlight, for example - the process is speeded up.
