PART IIANSWERS TO END-OF-CHAPTER QUESTIONSCHAPTER 14: INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS14-1. Discuss some of the key political restrictions on cross-border trade.Political restrictions on cross-border trade can take a variety of forms. Many nations ban certain types of shipments that might jeopardize their national security. Likewise, individual nations may band together to pressure another country from being an active supplier of materials that could be used to build nuclear weapons. Some nations restrict the outflow of currency because a nation,s economy will suffer if it imports more than it exports over a long term. A relatively commonpolitical restriction on trade involves tariffs, or taxes that governments place on the importation of certain items. Another group of political restrictions can be classified as nontariff barriers, which refer to restrictions other than tariffs that are placed upon imported products. Another political restriction involves embargoes, or the prohibition of trade between particular countries.14-2. How might a particular country,s government be involved in international trade?Governments may exert strong control over ocean and air traffic because they operate as extensions of a nation,s economy and most of the revenue flows into that nation's economy. In some cases, import licenses may restrict movement to a vessel or plane owned or operated by the importing country. In addition, some nations provide subsidies to develop and/or maintain their ocean and air carriers. Governments also support their own carriers through cargo preference rules, which require a certain percentage of traffic to move on a nation,s flag vessels. Although federal governments have often owned ocean carriers and international airlines, some government-owned international carriers are moving toward the private sector.14-3. Discuss how a nation,s market size might impact international trade and, in turn,international logistics.Population is one proxy for market size, and China and India account for about one-third of the world's population. As such, these two countries might be potentially attractive markets because of their absolute and relative size. Having said this, India has a relatively low gross domestic product per capita, and because of this some customers buy singleuse packets of products called sachets. From a logistical perspective, single-use packets require different packaging, and are easier to lose and more prone to theft than products sold in larger quantities.14-4. How might economic integration impact international logistics?Potential logistical implications of economic integration include reduced documentation requirements, reduced tariffs, and the redesign of distribution networks. For example,Poland and the Czech Republic have become favorite distribution sites with the eastward expansion of the European Union.14-5. How can language considerations impact the packaging and labeling of international shipments?With respect to language, cargo handlers may not be able to read and understand the language of the exporting country, and it would not be unusual for cargo handlers in some countries to beilliterate. Hence, cautionary symbols, rather than writing, must be used. A shipper,s mark, which looks like a cattle brand, is used in areas where dockworkers cannot read but need a method to keep documents and shipments together.14-6. What is a certificate of origin, a commercial invoice, and a shipper,s export declaration?A certificate of origin specifies the country or countries in which a product is manufactured .This document can be required by governments for control purposes or by an exporter to verify thelocation of manufacture. A commercial invoice is similar in nature to a domestic bill of lading in the sense that a commercial invoice summarizes the entire transaction and contains (or should contain) key information to include a description of the goods, the terms of sale and payment, the shipment quantity, the method of shipment, and so on. A shipper,s export declaration contains relevant export transaction data such as the transportation mode(s), transaction participants, and a description of what is being exported.14-7. Discuss international terms of sale and Incoterms.International terms of sale determine where and when buyers and seller will transfer 1) the physical goods; 2) payment for goods, freight charges, and insurance for the in-transit goods; 3) legal title to the goods; 4) required documentation; and 5) responsibility for controlling or caring for the goods in transit. The International Chamber of Commerce is in charge of establishing, and periodically revising, the terms of sale for international shipments, commonly referred to as Incoterms. The most recent revision, Incoterms 2010, reflects the rapid expansion of global trade with a particular focus on improved cargo security and new trends in cross-border transportation. Incoterms 2010 are now organized by modes of transport and the terms can be used in both international and domestic transportation.14-8. Name the four methods of payment for international shipments. Which method is riskiest for the buyer? For the seller?Four distinct methods of payment exist for international shipments: cash in advance, letters of credit, bills of exchange, and the open account. Cash in advance is of minimal risk to the seller, but is the riskiest for the buyer-what if the paid-for product is never received? The open account involves tremendous potential risk for the seller and minimal risk for the buyer.14-9. Discuss four possible functions that might be performed by international freight forwarders.The text describes eight functions, such as preparing an export declaration and booking space on carriers, so discussion of any four would be appropriate.14-10. What is an NVOCC?An NVOCC (nonvessel-operating common carrier) is often confused with an international freight forwarder. Although both NVOCCs and international freight forwarders must be licensed by the Federal Maritime Commission, NVOCCs are common carriers and thus have common carrier obligations to serveand deliver, among other obligations. NVOCCs consolidate freight from different shippers and leverage this volume to negotiate favorable transportation rates from ocean carriers. From the shipper's perspective, an NVOCC is a carrier; from an ocean carrier,s perspective, an NVOCC is a shipper.14-11. What are the two primary purposes of export packing?One function is to allow goods to move easily through customs. For a country assessing duties on the weight of both the item and its container, this means selecting lightweight packing materials. The second purpose of export packing is to protect products in what almost always is a more difficult journey than they would experience if they were destined for domestic consignees.14-12. Discuss the importance of water transportation for international trade.A frequently cited statistic is that approximately 60 percent of cross-border shipments move by water transportation. Another example of the importance of water transportation in international trade involves the world,s busiest container ports as measured by TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) handled; 9 of the 10 busiest container ports are located in Asia, with 7 of the busiest ports located in China.14-13. Explain the load center concept. How might load centers affect the dynamics of international transportation?Load centers are major ports where thousands of containers arrive and depart each week. As vessel sizes increase, it becomes more costly to stop at multiple ports in a geographic area, and as a result, operators of larger container ships prefer to call at only one port in a geographic area. Load centers might impact the dynamics of international trade in the sense that some ports will be relegated to providing feeder service to the load centers.14-14. Discuss the role of ocean carrier alliances in international logistics.In the mid-1990s, ocean carrier alliances, in which carriers retain their individual identities but cooperate in the area of operations, began forming in the container trades. These alliances provide two primary benefits to participating members, namely, the sharing of vessel space and the ability to offer shippers a broader service network. The size of the alliance allows them to exercise considerable clout in their dealings with shippers, port terminal operators, and connecting land carriers.14-15. How do integrated air carriers impact the effectiveness and efficiency of international logistics?Integrated air carriers own all their vehicles and the facilities that fall in-between. These carriers often provide the fastest service between many major points. They are also employed to carry the documentation that is generated by—and is very much a part of— the international movement of materials. The integrated carriers also handle documentation services for their clients.14-16. How do open-skies agreements differ from bilateral agreements?Bilateral agreements generally involved two countries and tended to be somewhat restrictive in nature. For example, the bilateral agreements would specify the carriers that were to serve particular city pairs. By contrast, open skies agreements liberalize aviation opportunities andlimit federal government involvement. For example, the Open Aviation Agreement between the United States and 27 European Union (EU) member states allows any EU airline as well as any U.S. airline to fly between any point in the EU and any point in the United States.14-17. Discuss the potential sources of delays in certain countries with respect to motor carrier shipments that move across state borders.One source of delays is that certain countries limit a motor carrier,s operations to within a particular state,s borders; as a result, multi-state shipments must be transferred from one company,s vehicle to another company,s vehicle whenever crossing into another state. Another source of delays is that certain countries conduct inspections of trucks as they move from one state to another. This can include physical counting and inspection of all shipments, inspection of documentation, and vehicle inspection, as well as driver inspection.14-18. Define what is meant by short-sea shipping (SSS), and discuss some advantages of SSS.Short-sea shipping (SSS) refers to waterborne transportation that utilizes inland and coastal waterways to move shipments from domestic ports to their destination. Potential benefits to SSS include reduced rail and truck congestion, reduced highway damage, a reduction in truck-related noise and air pollution, and improved waterways utilization.14-19. What are some challenges associated with inventory management in cross-border trade?Because greater uncertainties, misunderstandings, and delays often arise in international movements, safety stocks must be larger. Furthermore, inventory valuation on an international scale isdifficult because of continually changing exchange rates. When a nation,s (or the world's) currency is unstable, investments in inventories rise because they are believed to be less risky than holding cash or securities.Firms involved in international trade must give careful thought to their inventory policies, in part because inventory available for sale in one nation may not necessarily serve the needs of markets in nearby nations. Product return policies are another concern with respect to international inventory management. One issue is that, unlike the United States where products can be returned for virtually reason, some countries don,t allow returns unless the product is defective in some respect.14-20. What is the Logistics Performance Index? How can it be used?The Logistics Performance Index (LPI) was created in recognition of the importance of logistics in global trade. The LPI measures a country,s performance across six logistical dimensions:•Efficiency of the clearance process (i.e., speed, simplicity, and predictability of formalities) by border control agencies, including customs;•Quality of trade- and transport-related infrastructure (e.g., ports, railroads, roads, and information technology);•Ease of arranging competitively priced shipments;•Competence and quality of logistics services (e.g., transport operators and customs brokers);•Capability to track and trace consignments;•Timeliness of shipments in reaching the destination within the scheduled or expected delivery time.The LPI is a potentially valuable international logistics tool because the data can be analyzed from several different perspectives. First, the LPI can be analyzed for all countries according to the overall LPI score as well as according to scores on each of the six dimensions. Second, the LPI can be analyzed in terms of an individual country's performance over time, relative to its geographic region, and relative to its income group.PART IIICASE SOLUTIONSCASE 14-1: Nurnberg Augsburg Maschinenwerke (N.A.M.)Question 1: Assume that you are Weiss. How many viable alternatives do you have to consider regarding the initial shipment of 25 buses?The answer to this question can vary depending on how students define “viable alternatives.” If we take a broad perspective and just focus on the primary cities, Bremerhaven does not appear to be an option because there is no scheduled liner service in the desired time frame. That leaves us with Prague to Santos through Hamburg and Prague to Santos through Rotterdam. Several of the vessel departure dates for both alternatives are not feasible. For example, the 18-day transit time from Hamburg eliminates both the October 31 and November 3 departures; likewise, the 17-day transit time from Rotterdam eliminates the November 2 departure. And although the October 27 departure from Hamburg or the October 28 departure from Rotterdam should get the buses to Santos by November 15, neither departure leaves much room for potential transit delays (e.g., a late season hurricane). As such, it appears that Weiss has but two viable alternatives: the October 24 departure from Hamburg and the October 23 departure from Rotterdam.Question 2: Which of the routing alternatives would you recommend to meet the initial 90-day deadline for the 25-bus shipment? Train or waterway? To which port(s)? What would it cost?If one assumes that rail transport is used from Prague to either Hamburg or Rotterdam, then thetotal transportation costs of the two alternatives are virtually identical. Although rail costs to Rotterdam are €300 higher than to Hamburg, the shipping costs from Rotterdam are €300 lower than from Hamburg (based on €6000 x .95). Because the total transportation costs are essentially the same, the decision likely needs to be based on service considerations. The initial shipment is extremely important. It might be suggested that Prague to Hamburg by rail and Hamburg to Santos by ocean vessel is the preferred alternative. Our rationale is that the provided transit times with Hamburg are definitive— that is, 3 days by rail and 18 days by water. With Rotterdam, by contrast, the rail transit time is either 4 or 5 days, although water transportation is 17 days.Question 3: What additional information would be helpful for answering Question 2?A variety of other information would be helpful for answering Question 2. For example, the case offers no insight about port congestion issues and how this congestion might impact the timeliness of shipment loadings. There also is no information about port performance in terms of loss and damage metrics. In addition, although the case indicates that rail transit time from Prague iseither four or five days, it might be helpful to know what percentage of shipments is completed in four days. Students are likely to come up with more suggestions.Question 4: How important, in fact, are the transport costs for the initial shipment of 25 buses?Clearly, with ocean shipping costs of either €5700 or €6000 per bus, transportation costs cannot be ignored. Having said this, the initial shipment holds the key to the remainder of the order (another 199 buses) and appears to be instrumental in securing another order for 568 buses (for a total of 767 more buses). As such, N.A.M might be somewhat flexible with respect to transportation costs for the initial shipment. Suppose, for example, that N.A.M. can earn a profit of €5000 per bus (such profit on a €120000 bus is by no means exorbitant). A profit of €5000 x 767 buses yields a total profit of €3,835,000. Because of such a large upside with respect to additional orders,N.A.M. might focus on achieving the specified metrics for the initial shipment without being overly concerned with transportation costs.Question 5: What kinds of customer service support must be provided for this initial shipment of 25 buses? Who is responsible?Although a number of different constituencies is involved in the initial shipment (e.g., railroads, dock workers, ocean carrier, etc.), the particular customers—the public transit authorities—are buying product from N.A.M. Because of this, N.A.M. should be the responsible party with respect to customer service support. There are myriad customer service support options that might be provided. Real-time shipment tracking should be an option so that the customers can know, at any time, the location of the shipment. N.A.M. might also provide regular updates of shipment progress; perhaps N.A.M. could email or fax important progress points (e.g., the shipment has left Prague; the shipment has arrived in Hamburg, etc.) to the customers. Because successful performance on theinitial shipment is crucial to securing future business, N.A.M. might have one of its managers actually accompany the shipment.Question 6: The Brazilian buyer wants the buses delivered at Santos. Weiss looks up theInternational Chamber of Commerce,s Incoterms and finds three categories of “delivered” terms:DAT (Delivered at Terminal). In this type of transaction, the seller clears the goods forexport and bears all risks and costs associated with delivering the goods and unloading them at the terminal at the named port or place of destination. The buyer is responsible for all costs and risks from this point forward including clearing the goods for import at the named country of destination.DAP (Delivered at Place). The seller clears the goods for export and bears all risks and costs associated with delivering goods to the named place of destination not unloaded. The buyer is responsible for all costs and risks associated with unloading the goods and clearing customs to import goods into the named country of destination.DDP (Delivered Duty Paid). The seller bears all risks and costs associated with delivering the goods to the named place of destination ready for unloading and clearing for import.How should he choose? Why?Again, given the importance of the initial shipment, it would appear that the more control thatN.A.M. has over the process, the better. Although the DDP option is likely the costliest option, it also affords N.A.M. more control later into the shipment process. Moreover, a willingness by N.A.M. to take on the additional costs associated with DDP might be viewed in a positive fashion by the customers.Question 7: Would you make the same routing recommendation for the second, larger (199 buses) component of the order, after the initial 90-day deadline is met? Why or why not?Time pressures do not appear to be as critical for the larger component of the order, so this might argue for use of water transportation between Prague and Hamburg. The rationale would be that even though water transportation is slower, it saves money (€48 per bus) over rail shipments. Alternatively, given that the selling price per bus is likely to be around €120000, trading off three days of transit time in exchange for a savings of €48 might not be such a good idea.Question 8:How important, if at all, is it for N.A.M. to ship via water to show its support of the European Union,s Motorways of the Seas concept?This question may generate a variety of opinions from students. For example, some students might argue that Question 75s answer also applies to Question 8. Having said this, the case doesn,t delve too deeply into potential environmental considerations associated with water transportation, so a pure cost-benefit analysis (such as Question 7) might be insufficient. Furthermore, because the European Union (EU) continues to be a contentious issue for many Europeans, the answer to Question 8 might depend upon one,s view of the EU. Thus, someone who is supportive of the EU might lean toward supporting the Motorways of the Seas concept, while someone not supportive of the EU might lean against supporting the Motorways of the Seas concept.。

写一篇关于交通方式的变化的英语作文
写一篇关于交通方式的变化的英语作文全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1The Changing Ways of TransportationHello everyone! Today, I want to tell you about the amazing changes in transportation that have happened over the years. Transportation is how we get from one place to another, like going to school, visiting friends, or going on vacation. Let's explore the different ways people used to travel and how it has changed!In the past, people mostly traveled by walking or riding animals. Can you believe it? They didn't have cars, buses, or even bicycles! They had to use their own two feet or rely on animals like horses or donkeys to carry them around. It must have taken a long time to get to faraway places.Then, with the invention of the wheel, things started to change. People invented carts that were pulled by animals. This made it easier to carry heavy things and travel longer distances. Imagine going on a road trip with a horse pulling your cart, how fun would that be?Fast forward to a few hundred years ago, and we see the invention of bicycles! Bicycles have two wheels, pedals, and handlebars. They don't need any fuel to run, just the power of our legs. Bicycles became a popular mode of transportation because they were faster than walking and didn't need animals to pull them. It was like having your own superpower!But the biggest change came with the invention of cars. Cars are amazing machines that run on fuel and have engines to make them move. They can go really fast and carry many people at once. Cars have made traveling so much faster and easier. We can go anywhere we want, whenever we want!However, cars also have some problems. They use a lot of fuel, which can harm the environment. They can also create traffic jams, making us wait for a long time on the road. That's why people started looking for new ways to travel that are more eco-friendly and efficient.Nowadays, we have electric cars and public transportation. Electric cars run on electricity instead of fuel, so they don't create pollution. They are much better for our planet. Public transportation, like buses and trains, can carry many people at once, reducing the number of cars on the road. This helps to reduce traffic and protect our environment.There are also new inventions like hoverboards, electric scooters, and even flying cars! These futuristic inventions may become the way we travel in the future. Just imagine zooming through the sky in a flying car, how exciting would that be?Transportation has come a long way, from walking and riding animals to flying cars. It's amazing to see how human beings have invented and improved different ways to travel. As we continue to learn and grow, who knows what incredible transportation inventions we will have in the future?So, always remember to appreciate the transportation we have today and think about how we can make it even better for the future. Let's be responsible travelers and take care of our planet while enjoying the adventure of exploring new places!That's all for today, my friends. I hope you enjoyed learning about the changing ways of transportation. Until next time, happy travels!篇2The Changing Face of TransportationHi there! My name is Emma, and I'm a fourth-grader at Sunny Hills Elementary School. Today, I want to talk to you aboutsomething that fascinates me a lot – the evolution of transportation!Can you imagine a world without cars, trains, or planes? It must have been pretty tough for people to get around back then. But you know what? Humans are incredibly smart and resourceful, and they've always found ways to make their lives easier and more convenient.Let's start by talking about the good old days when people had to rely on their own two feet to go from one place to another. Walking was the primary mode of transportation for thousands of years! Imagine having to walk for miles and miles just to get to the nearest town or village. Phew, that must have been exhausting!But then, humans discovered the power of animals like horses, donkeys, and camels. These amazing creatures became our trusty companions on long journeys, carrying people and goods across vast distances. Suddenly, the world seemed a little bit smaller and more accessible.As time went on, humans kept pushing the boundaries of innovation. They invented the wheel, which changed everything! With the help of wheeled carts and chariots, people couldtransport heavier loads more efficiently. It was a game-changer, let me tell you!Fast forward to the Industrial Revolution, and we saw the birth of steam-powered trains and locomotives. These mechanical marvels could carry passengers and cargo across countries and continents at unprecedented speeds. Suddenly, long-distance travel became a reality for many people, and the world truly started shrinking.Speaking of speed, let's not forget about the invention of the automobile! Cars and trucks made it possible for people to travel independently and conveniently. No more waiting for trains or horse-drawn carriages – you could just hop in your car and go wherever you wanted, whenever you wanted.But the real showstopper, in my opinion, is the invention of airplanes! Can you imagine how mind-blowing it must have been for people to see a giant metal bird soaring through the skies? Airplanes revolutionized long-distance travel, making it possible to traverse vast oceans and continents in a matter of hours.These days, we have all sorts of amazing transportation options at our fingertips. High-speed trains, electric cars, and even spacecraft that can take us to the moon and beyond! It's truly incredible how far we've come.But you know what's even more exciting? The future of transportation! Researchers and engineers are constantly working on new and innovative ways to get us from point A to point B. Who knows, maybe one day we'll have flying cars or teleportation devices straight out of science fiction movies!Personally, I can't wait to see what the future holds for transportation. Will we have self-driving cars that can navigate traffic automatically? Or maybe we'll have hyperloop systems that can shoot us across cities and countries at supersonic speeds? The possibilities are endless!One thing's for sure, though – transportation has come a long, long way since the days of walking and horse-drawn carriages. It's truly amazing how humans have used their creativity and ingenuity to overcome the challenges of distance and mobility.So, the next time you hop in your car, board a plane, or even just take the bus, remember to appreciate the incredible journey that transportation has taken over the centuries. Who knows, maybe one day you'll be part of the next big transportation revolution!Well, that's all from me for now. I hope you found this little history lesson on transportation as fascinating as I did. Until next time, happy travels!篇3The Evolution of How We Get AroundHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm going to tell you all about the super cool ways that transportation has changed over time. Buckle up, because this is going to be an awesome ride through history!Way back in the olden days, like a really really long time ago, people just had to walk everywhere they needed to go. Can you imagine having to walk for hours and hours just to get to school or visit your family? It must have been exhausting! Eventually, someone was like "Hey, I have an idea! What if we put a couple of wheels on something and then an animal can pull it for us?" And that's how the very first wheel was invented. Pretty genius, right?After that, things started getting a bit more advanced. People started making horse-drawn carriages and wagons. Horses are big strong animals, so they could pull people and cargo along muddy roads and paths. Of course, horses do gettired, so long journeys still took ages. But it was definitely faster than just walking.Then came the real game-changer - the steam engine! This nifty little invention used the power of steam to, well, power things. It led to the creation of steam-powered boats, trains, and even early cars and trucks. All of a sudden, people could travel much farther, much faster than ever before without having to depend on animals.Trains were especially revolutionary. They allowed people and goods to be transported across entire countries quickly and efficiently. Huge rail networks sprung up, connecting cities in ways that would have once seemed impossible. Of course, trains needed tracks to run on, so people had to put in a ton of work laying miles and miles of metal rails across the landscapes.While trains were transporting people over land, ships were ruling the seas. From small wooden sailboats to massive steel steamships, these vessels allowed humans to explore the world's oceans and waterways like never before. People could now travel and trade across vast distances that had seemed unreachable. It really shrank the world and brought cultures together.Then, around the start of the 1900s, an incredible new machine burst onto the scene - the automobile! Theseself-powered vehicles could carry people and cargo over roads without needing horses or rails. The first cars were pretty basic, but they kicked off a total transportation revolution. Suddenly, personal travel became way more convenient and widespread. Families could hop in their Model T's and cruise around town as they pleased!As automobiles grew more popular, cities had to adapt. Paved roads started being built to accommodate cars, replacing old dirt paths and trails. Gas stations popped up so drivers could refuel their vehicles. The rise of cars definitely changed how cities were designed and lived in.Nowadays, we've got all sorts of awesome transportation methods. Subways and metro systems allow people in big cities to zoom beneath the streets. Bullet trains can achieve incredible speeds over tracks. Massive cargo ships ferry goods across vast oceans. Elon Musk is even working on super high-tech Hyperloop trains that travel through low-pressure tubes! How crazy is that?The ways we get around have definitely come a long, long way since our ancestors just had to hoof it everywhere they went. Every new invention, from the humble wooden wheel to hypersonic jets, has made it easier for us to travel farther, faster,and in more comfort than ever before. Who knows - maybe one day we'll even be zooming around in flying cars like the Jetsons!篇4Changes in How We Get AroundHi there! My name is Jamie and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to talk to you about how transportation and the ways we get around have changed a lot over time. It's really fascinating to think about all the different vehicles and transportation methods that have been invented throughout history. Let me tell you a bit about what I've learned!Way back before cars, trains, or airplanes were invented, the main ways for people to travel were by walking, riding a horse or other animal, or traveling by boat on the water. Can you imagine having to walk everywhere you needed to go? Or only being able to get around as fast as a horse could run? It must have taken forever to get anywhere far away.One of the earliest major innovations in transportation was the wheel. This simple invention made it possible to create wheeled carts that could carry heavy loads much more easily than just dragging things across the ground. Later on, theancient Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and other civilizations used wheeled chariots and wagons pulled by horses, oxen, or people.In the 1800s, things really started to change rapidly with the invention of steam power. The first steam-powered boats and ships were developed, which could travel much faster than boats powered by sails or oars. And in 1804, the first steam locomotive or train was invented. Trains running on rail tracks quickly became one of the main ways to transport people and goods over long distances across countries.Not long after, in the late 1800s, the first modern automobiles or cars were created. They used internal combustion engines instead of steam power. Henry Ford then invented the assembly line in 1913, which made cars much more affordable for regular people to own and use. From then on, cars became the primary mode of transportation for shorter personal travel for people in developed countries.Another huge advancement was the invention of airplanes in the early 1900s. The Wright brothers successfully flew the first powered, heavier-than-air aircraft in 1903. Airplanes made it possible to travel internationally much faster than ever before possible. They revolutionized both passenger travel and the shipping of goods across the world.In more recent decades, new transportation technologies like high-speed bullet trains, electric cars, and reusable rockets for space travel have emerged. And who knows what incredible new inventions are yet to come in the future? Maybe one day we'll even have flying cars like on The Jetsons!One trend I've noticed is that transportation has generally gotten faster over time. It used to take weeks or months for people to travel long distances by foot, horse, or ship. But these days, we can fly across entire oceans in just several hours on an airplane. Or even travel to outer space and back in a matter of days on a rocket ship!Another big shift has been the move towards more environmentally-friendly transportation options to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Whilegasoline-powered cars and airplanes are still widely used, electric vehicles (like Tesla cars), hybrid gas-electric cars, public transit systems, bicycles, and walking have become a lot more popular in recent years as people try to "go green."It's also fascinating how different parts of the world have relied on different transportation methods based on their local geography and lifestyle. In very rural areas, horses, donkeys, or camels were the main mode of transportation for a long time. Incities located along rivers or the ocean, boats and ships were essential. And in mountainous areas, railroads and tunnels were engineered to go through and over the hills.One thing that strikes me is how quickly new transportation technologies seemed to get adopted once they were invented. Just a couple centuries ago, the idea of traveling in a metal vehicle powered by an engine instead of an animal probably sounded like pure science-fiction! But once cars and trains were developed, people were quick to embrace them and they rapidly spread around the world.I can't even imagine what innovative new transportation methods might be invented in the decades to come that could completely transform how we get around yet again. Maybe some sort of teleportation device like in Star Trek? Or environmentally-friendly flying vehicles? Or ultra high-speed vactrains that can go thousands of miles per hour through airless tubes? The possibilities seem endless to me.Whatever revolutionary new transportation technologies get developed, one thing is for sure - humans seem to always crave traveling farther, faster, cheaper, and more conveniently than before. Each new generation builds off the successes and innovations of the previous generations to create newer andbetter transportation systems. Horse and buggies led to steam trains which led to gas-powered cars and airplanes. So who knows what awaits us next?One theme that runs throughout the history of transportation is about breaking boundaries and going beyond what was possible before. First it was about moving beyond the limited ranges that humans could travel by foot power alone. Then it was about figuring out how to travel faster than traditional sail boats and horse-drawn carriages. Then transcontinental railroads and international shipping routes connected regions together like never before possible.Now, modern air travel and even space exploration have made it possible to travel halfway across the planet in a single day. Or leave the planet's atmosphere altogether! To me, the story of transportation over human history is all about us constantly pushing the limits of our mobility, exploring new frontiers, and connecting with people and places that previously seemed out of reach.So that's a bit about how I see transportation methods changing and evolving over time! From the earliest foot travel and animal-powered carriages, to oceangoing ships and railroads, to modern cars and airplanes, to potentiallyteleportation and vactrains in the future - it's been an incredible revolution in how we get around. I can't wait to see what new mind-blowing transportation technologies get invented next! Maybe one day I'll even get to experience traveling to Mars or another planet. How amazing would that be?篇5The Way We Move Around Has Really Changed!Hi there! My name is Jamie and I'm ten years old. Today I want to tell you all about how the ways people get from place to place have changed so much over time. It's pretty amazing when you think about it!Let's start wayyyy back, like hundreds and hundreds of years ago. Back then, there were no cars, buses, trains or airplanes at all. Can you imagine?! People had to walk absolutely everywhere they needed to go. Whether it was just down the street to the market or all the way across their whole country, they walked. That must have been sooo tiring!Some people were a bit luckier though. If they had a horse or a donkey, they could ride on the animal's back instead of walking. That would definitely be faster than going on foot. But still, it took days and weeks to travel very far on horseback. Sailing shipswere another option for longer journeys over the ocean, but those voyages took months!As time went on, things started getting a little better for getting around. The very first "vehicles" like coaches, carriages and wagons were invented. These had wheels and could carry people and cargo. But they still relied on horses or oxen to pull them along. It wasn't until the 1800s that the firststeam-powered vehicles came along and could move all on their own without any animals!One of the biggest breakthroughs was the steam locomotive train in the early 1800s. All of a sudden, people and goods could travel overland at speeds never seen before - up to 30 miles per hour! That might not sound very fast to us today, but back then it was lightning quick. Railroads started crisscrossing countries, making it much easier for people to travel longer distances.Not long after that, the automobile or "car" was invented and became available in the late 1800s. Unlike trains that were bound to rail tracks, cars could travel on roads and get people straight from their starting point to their destination. Cars made it really convenient for families to just hop in and drive shorter distances instead of having to walk or take a horse and buggy.In the early 1900s, airplanes were developed and people could finally achieve the dream of flying through the skies! Air travel absolutely revolutionized long-distance transportation. All of a sudden, journeys that used to take weeks on a ship or train could be done in just a matter of hours up in the air. Cities and even entire countries that once felt incredibly far away were now much more easily accessible.As the 1900s progressed, transportation just kept getting faster, more efficient and more comfortable. Cars got better gas mileage and nice cushioned seats. Trains could go over 100 mph. Jets could zip through the skies at incredible speeds. Subways, buses and other public transit systems started popping up in cities too to get people around town easily without having to drive themselves.Today in the 2020s, there are self-driving cars with no human driver needed, recycling-powered buses, magnetic levitation trains that float above the rails, and commercial space planes that can leave the atmosphere. I can't even imagine what new amazing transportation methods will come next in my lifetime!While getting from place to place used to be incredibly difficult and took forever in the old days, we are so fortunatenow to have all these awesome options to take us near and far quickly and conveniently. Whether I want to make it across town to school or visit relatives across the ocean, there are so many fast and modern ways for me to get there. Cars, trains, planes, buses, subways...the possibilities are almost endless!What's your favorite way to travel? I personally love hopping on a high-speed bullet train and watching the countryside whiz by in a big blur out the window. Or maybe a ride in a sleek electric car with all the latest tech that can park itself. That's so cool! No matter how you like to get around, you have to admit that transportation has come incredibly far. Looking back to how our ancestors had to walk or ride horses everywhere, we've come such a long way. I can't wait to see what new amazing inventions for transportation are still to come!篇6The Evolution of Getting From Here to ThereHey there! I'm just a kid, but even I can see how much transportation has changed over the years. The way people and things move around is so different from when my parents and grandparents were young. Let me tell you all about it!When my grandparents were kids, cars were pretty new and not a lot of people had them. Most folks walked or rode bikes to get around town. My grandma tells me stories about walking miles to school every day, no matter if it was blazing hot or freezing cold outside. Can you imagine? I complain if I have to walk half a mile! Bikes were popular too, she says, especially for paperboys delivering newspapers door-to-door.For longer distances, people rode trains a lot back then. Trains were a super important way to transport people and goods across the country before planes were common. My grandpa grew up near railroad tracks and loved watching the steam engines rumble past, blowing their whistles. Trains were the best way to travel from city to city for a long time.As time went on, cars became more affordable for regular families to own. Instead of just the wealthy having cars, regular people like my grandparents could save up and buy one. All of a sudden, everyone could drive wherever they wanted! No more waiting for trains or buses. With a car, you could come and go as you pleased.Highways were built to connect cities, making it easier for people to take road trips and drive long distances. Motels and restaurants popped up along the highways for travelers to stop.My parents have so many memories of our family piling into our old station wagon and driving for hours to visit relatives or go on vacation. Back then, gas was much cheaper than it is now too.Planes also became a hugely popular way to travel, especially for trips that were really far away. In the past, it took days or even weeks to go across the country by train. But planes allowed people to zip from one side of the nation to the other in just a few hours! My dad remembers his first plane ride as a kid –he was in awe at how fast the plane went and how exciting it was to see the view from up high.These days, we have so many transportation options that my grandparents never would have imagined! Sure, we still drive cars, ride trains, and fly in planes. But we also have newhigh-speed rail systems, electric cars, ride shares like Uber and Lyft, and personal transportation devices like e-scooters. Technology has totally changed how we get around.Self-driving cars are already being tested in some cities –crazy, right? You just punch in where you want to go in the car's computer, and it drives itself there while you can work, read, or just relax! No steering wheel or pedals needed. The cars use sensors to detect other vehicles, traffic lights, pedestrians, andobstacles. It's like having a robot chauffeur! I can't wait until self-driving cars are everywhere when I'm an adult.Speaking of the future, some big companies are working on developing small, personal drones that can fly individual people short distances. Imagine ordering a drone to your house with a couple taps on your phone, hopping in, and letting it fly you to work or school or the mall! It would be like having your own tiny helicopter or plane. Wildlife officials are a little worried about the noise from all those drones buzzing around, but companies say they'll be very quiet.Cities are also building out more bike lanes, bike shares, and trails for walking and cycling. This makes cutting down on car traffic and air pollution easier. Some cities don't even allow cars in certain neighborhoods - you have to use public transit, walk, or bike to get around those areas. My buddy Eric told me they have underground tunnels for delivery robots to bring things to businesses and homes so there are no cars or trucks driving around. Sounds pretty cool to me!With all these changes in transportation happening, who knows what the future will hold? Maybe we'll be driving flying cars or using teleportation machines in another 50 years! One thing is for sure - the ways we get from place to place will keepevolving and changing with new technologies. Just like my grandparents couldn't have imagined things like self-driving cars and delivery drones back when they were kids, the transportation of the future will probably seem just as crazy and futuristic to us now. I can't wait to see what develops next! Looks like my generation is in for one wild ride.。

剑桥雅思阅读11真题及答案解析(test3)
剑桥雅思阅读11真题及答案解析(test3)剑桥雅思阅读11原文(test3)1You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.THE STORY OF SILKThe history of the world’s most lu某urious fabric, from ancient China to the present daySilk is a fine, smooth material produced from the cocoons — soft protective shells — that are made by mulberry silkworms (insect larvae). Legend has it that it was Lei Tzu, wife of the Yellow Emperor, ruler of China in about 3000 BC, who discovered silkworms. One account of the story goes that as she was taking a walk in her husband’s gardens, she discovered that silkworms were responsiblefor the destruction of several mulberry trees. She collected a number of cocoons and sat down to have a rest. It just so happened that while she was sipping some tea, one of the cocoons that she had collected landed in the hot tea and started to unravel into a fine thread. Lei Tzu found that she could wind this thread around her fingers. Subsequently, she persuaded her husband to allow her to rear silkworms on a grove of mulberry trees. She also devised a special reel to draw the fibres from the cocoon into a single thread so that they would be strong enough to be woven into fabric. While it is unknown just how much of this is true, it is certainly known thatsilk cultivation has e某isted in China for several millennia.Originally, silkworm farming was solely restricted to women, and it was they who were responsible for the growing, harvesting and weaving. Silk quickly grew into a symbol of status, and originally,only royalty were entitled to have clothes made of silk. The rules were gradually rela某ed over the years until finally during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911 AD), even peasants, the lowest caste, were also entitled to wear silk. Sometime during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD), silk was so prized that it was also used as a unit of currency. Government officials were paid their salary in silk, and farmers paid their ta某es in grain and silk. Silk was also used as diplomatic gifts by the emperor. Fishing lines, bowstrings, musical instruments and paper were all made using silk. The earliest indication of silk paper being used was discovered in the tomb of a noble who is estimated to have died around 168 AD.Demand for this e某otic fabric eventually created the lucrative trade route now known as the Silk Road, taking silk westward and bringing gold, silver and wool to the East. It was named the Silk Road after its most precious commodity, which was considered to be worth more than gold. The Silk Road stretched over 6,000 kilometres from Eastern China to the Mediterranean Sea, following the Great Wall of China, climbing the Pamir mountain range, crossing modern-day Afghanistan and going on to the Middle East, with a major trading market in Damascus. From there, the merchandise was shipped across the Mediterranean Sea. Few merchants travelled the entire route; goods were handled mostly by a series of middlemen.With the mulberry silkworm being native to China, the country was the world’s sole producer of silk for many hundreds of years. The secret of silk-making eventually reached the rest of the world via the Byzantine Empire, which ruled over the Mediterranean region of southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East during the period 330-1453 AD. According to another legend, monks working for theByzantine emperor Justinian smuggled silkworm eggs to Constantinople (Istanbul in modern-day Turkey) in 550 AD, concealed inside hollow bamboo walking canes. The Byzantines were as secretive as the Chinese, however, and for many centuries the weaving and trading of silk fabric was a strict imperial monopoly. Then in the seventh century, the Arabs conquered Persia, capturing their magnificentsilks in the process. Silk production thus spread through Africa, Sicily and Spain as the Arabs swept through these lands. Andalusia in southern Spain was Europe’s main silk-producing centre in the tenth century. By the thirteenth century, however, Italy had become Europe’s leader in silk production and e某port. Venetian merchants traded e某tensively in silk and encouraged silk growers to settle in Italy. Even now, silk processed in the province of Como in northern Italy enjoys an esteemed reputation.The nineteenth century and industrialisation saw the downfall of the European silk industry. Cheaper Japanese silk, trade in which was greatly facilitated by the opening of the Suez Canal, was one of the many factors driving the trend. Then in the twentieth century, new manmade fibres, such as nylon, started to be used in what had traditionally been silk products, such as stockings and parachutes. The two world wars, which interrupted the supply of raw material from Japan, also stifled the European silk industry. After the Second World War, Japan’s silk production was restored, with improved production and quality of raw silk. Japan was to remain the world’s biggest producer of raw silk, and practically the only major e某porter of raw silk, until the 1970s. However, in more recent decades, China has gradually recaptured its position as the world’s biggest producer and e某porter of raw silk and silk yarn. Today, around125,000 metric tons of silk are produced in the world, and almost two thirds of that production takes place in China.Questions 1-9Complete the notes below.Choose ONE WORD ONLY from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in bo某es 1-9 on your answer sheet.THE STORY OF SILKEarly silk production in ChinaAround 3000 BC, according to legend:- silkworm cocoon fell into emperor’s wife’s 1 __________- emperor’s wife invented a 2 __________ to pull out silk fibres Only 3 __________ were allowed to produce silkOnly 4 __________ were allowed to wear silkSilk used as a form of 5 __________- e.g. farmers’ ta某es consisted partly of silkSilk used for many purposes- e.g. evidence found of 6 __________ made from silk around 168 ADSilk reaches rest of worldMerchants use Silk Road to take silk westward and bring back 7__________ and precious metals550 AD: 8 __________ hide silkworm eggs in canes and take them to ConstantinopleSilk production spreads across Middle East and Europe20th century: 9 __________ and other manmade fibres cause decline in silk productionQuestions 10-13Do the following statements agree with the information in ReadingPassage 1?In bo某es 10-13 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 this10 Gold was the most valuable material transported along the Silk Road.11 Most tradesmen only went along certain sections of the Silk Road.12 The Byzantines spread the practice of silk production across the West.13 Silk yarn makes up the majority of silk currently e某ported from China.2You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 14-26, which are based on Reading Passage 2 below.Great MigrationsAnimal migration, however it is defined, is far more than just the movement of animals. It can loosely be described as travel that takes place at regular intervals ?— often in an annual cycle — that may involve many members of a species, and is rewarded only after a long journey. It suggests inherited instinct. The biologist Hugh Dingle has identified five characteristics that apply, in varying degrees and combinations, to all migrations. They are prolonged movements that carry animals outside familiar habitats; they tend to be linear, not zigzaggy; they involve special behaviours concerning preparation (such as overfeeding) and arrival; they demand special allocations of energy. And one more: migrating animals maintain anintense attentiveness to the greater mission, which keeps them undistracted by temptations and undeterred by challenges that would turn other animals aside.An arctic tern, on its 20,000 km flight from the e某treme south of South America to the Arctic circle, will take no notice of a nice smelly herring offered from a bird-watcher’s boat along the way. While local gulls will dive voraciously for such handouts, the tern flies on. Why? The arctic tern resists distraction because it is driven at that moment by an instinctive sense of something we humans find admirable: larger purpose. In other words, it is determined to reach its destination. The bird senses that it can eat, rest and mate later. Right now it is totally focused on the journey; its undivided intent is arrival.Reaching some gravelly coastline in the Arctic, upon which other arctic terns have converged, will serve its larger purpose as shaped by evolution: finding a place, a time, and a set of circumstances in which it can successfully hatch and rear offspring.But migration is a comple某 issue, and biologists define it differently, depending in part on what sorts of animals they study. Joe! Berger, of the University of Montana, who works on the American pronghorn and other large terrestrial mammals, prefers what he calls a simple, practical definition suited to his beasts: ‘movements from a seasonal home area away to another home area and back again’. Generally the reason for such seasonal back-and-forth movement is to seek resources that aren’t available within a single area year-round.But daily vertical movements by zooplankton in the ocean —upward by night to seek food, downward by day to escape predators —can also be considered migration. So can the movement of aphids when, having depleted the young leaves on one food plant, their offspring then fly onward to a different host plant, with no one aphid ever returning to where it started.Dingle is an evolutionary biologist who studies insects. His definition is more intricate than Berger’s, citing those five features that distinguish migration from other forms of movement. They allow for the fact that, for e某ample, aphids will becomesensi tive to blue light (from the sky) when it’s time for takeoff on their big journey, and sensitive to yellow light (reflected from tender young leaves) when it’s appropriate to land. Birds willfatten themselves with heavy feeding in advance of a long migrational flight. The value of his definition, Dingle argues, is that it focuses attention on what the phenomenon of wildebeest migration shares with the phenomenon of the aphids, and therefore helps guide researchers towards understanding how evolution has produced them all.Human behaviour, however, is having a detrimental impact on animal migration. The pronghorn, which resembles an antelope, though they are unrelated, is the fastest land mammal of the New World. One population, which spends the summer in the mountainous Grand Teton National Park of the western USA, follows a narrow route from its summer range in the mountains, across a river, and down onto the plains. Here they wait out the frozen months, feeding mainly on sagebrush blown clear of snow. These pronghorn are notable for the invariance of their migration route and the severity of its constriction at three bottlenecks. If they can’t pass through each of the three during their spring migration, they can’t reach theirbounty of summer grazing; if they can’t pass through again in autumn, escaping south onto those windblown plains, they are likely to die trying to overwinter in the deep snow. Pronghorn, dependent on distance vision and speed to keep safe from predators, traverse high, open shoulders of land, where they can see and run. At one of the bottlenecks, forested hills rise to form a V, leaving a corridor of open ground only about 150 metres wide, filled with private homes. Increasing development is leading toward a crisis for the pronghorn, threatening to choke off their passageway.Conservation scientists, along with some biologists and land managers within the USA’s National Park Service and other agencies, are now working to preserve migrational behaviours, not just species and habitats. A National Forest has recognised the path of the pronghorn, much of which passes across its land, as a protected migration corridor. But neither the Forest Service nor the Park Service can control what happens on private land at a bottleneck. And with certain other migrating species, the challenge is complicated further — by vastly greater distances traversed, more jurisdictions, more borders, more dangers along the way. We will require wisdom and resoluteness to ensure that migrating species can continue their journeying a while longer.Questions 14-18Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 2?In bo某es 14-18 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 this14 Local gulls and migrating arctic terns behave in the same way when offered food.15 E某perts’ definitions of migration tend to vary according t o their area of study.16 Very few e某perts agree that the movement of aphids can be considered migration.17 Aphids’ journeys are affected by changes in the light that they perceive.18 Dingle’s aim is to distinguish between the migratory behaviours of different species.Questions 19-22Complete each sentence with the correct ending, A-G, below.Write the correct letter, A-G, in bo某es 19-22 on your answer sheet.19 According to Dingle, migratory routes are likely to20 To prepare for migration, animals are likely to21 During migration, animals are unlikely to22 Arctic terns illustrate migrating animals’ ability toA be discouraged by difficulties.B travel on open land where they can look out for predators.C eat more than they need for immediate purposes.D be repeated daily.E ignore distractions.F be governed by the availability of water.G follow a straight line.Questions 23-26Complete the summary below.Choose ONE WORD ONLY from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in bo某es 23-26 on your answer sheet.The migration of pronghornsPronghorns rely on their eyesight and 23 __________ to avoid predators.

So it is with mathematics as well. There are some discoveries in advanced mathematics that do not depend on specialized knowledge, not even on algebra, geometry, or trigonometry. Instead they may involve, at most, a little arithmetic, such as ‘the sum of two odd numbers is even’, and common sense. Each of the eight chapters in this book illustrates this phenomenon. Anyone can understand every step in the reasoning.The thinking in each chapter uses at most only elementary arithmetic, and sometimes not even that. Thus all readers will have the chance to participate in a mathematical e某perience, to appreciate the beauty of mathematics, and to become familiar with its logical, yet intuitive, style of thinking.B One of my purposes in writing this book is to give readers who haven’t had the opportunity to see and enjoy real mathematics the chance to appreciate the mathematical way of thinking. I want to reveal not only some of the fascinating discoveries, but, more importantly, the reasoning behind them.In that respect, this book differs from most books on mathematics written for the general public. Some present the lives of colorful mathematicians. Others describe important applications of mathematics. Yet others go into mathematical procedures, but assume that the reader is adept in using algebra.C I hope this book will help bridge that notorious gap that separates the two cultures: the humanities and the sciences, or should I say the right brain (intuitive) and the left brain (analytical, numerical). As the chapters will illustrate, mathematics is not restricted to the analytical and numerical; intuition plays a significant role. The alleged gap can be narrowed or completely overcome by anyone, in part because each of us is far from using the full capacity of either side of the brain. To illustrate our human potential, I cite a structural engineer who is an artist, anelectrical engineer who is an opera singer, an opera singer who published mathematical research, and a mathematician who publishes short stories.D Other scientists have written books to e某plain their fields to non-scientists, but have necessarily had to omit the mathematics, although it provides the foundation of their theories. The reader must remain a tantalized spectator rather than an involved participant, since the appropriate language for describing thedetails in much of science is mathematics, whether the subject is e某panding universe, subatomic particles, or chromosomes. Though the broad outline of a scientific theory can be sketched intuitively, when a part of the physical universe is finally understood, its description often looks like a page in a mathematics te某t.E Still, the non-mathematical reader can go far in understanding mathematical reasoning. This book presents the details thatillustrate the mathematical style of thinking, which involves sustained, step-by-step analysis, e某periments, and insights. You will turn these pages much more slowly than when reading a novel or a newspaper. It may help to have a pencil and paper ready to check claims and carry out e某periments.F As I wrote, I kept in mind two types of readers: those who enjoyed mathematics until they were turned off by an unpleasant episode, usually around fifth grade, and mathematics aficionados, who will find much that is new throughout the book.This book also serves readers who simply want to sharpen their analytical skills. Many careers, such as law and medicine, require e 某tended, precise analysis. Each chapter offers practice infollowing a sustained and closely argued line of thought. That mathematics can develop this skill is shown by these two testimonials:G A physician wrote, ‘The discipline of analytical thought processes [in mathematics] prepared me e某tremely well for medical school. In medicine one is faced with a problem which must be thoroughly analyzed before a solution can be found. The process is similar to doing mathematics.’A lawyer made the same point, ‘Although I had no background in law — not even one political science course — I did well at one ofthe best law schools. I attribute much of my success there to having learned, through the study of mathematics, and, in particular, theorems, how to analyze complicated principles. Lawyers who have studied mathematics can master the legal principles in a way that most others cannot.’I hope you will share my delight in watching as simple, evenna?ve, questions lead to remarkable solutions and purely theoretical discoveries find unanticipated applications.Questions 27-34Reading Passage 3 has seven sections, A-G.Which section contains the following information?Write the correct letter, A-G, in bo某es 27-34 on your answer sheet.NB You may use any letter more than once.27 a reference to books that assume a lack of mathematical knowledge28 the way in which this is not a typical book about mathematics29 personal e某amples of being helped by mathematics30 e某amples of people who each had abilities that seemed incompatible31 mention of different focuses of books about mathematics32 a contrast between reading this book and reading other kinds of publication33 a claim that the whole of the book is accessible to everybody34 a reference to different categories of intended readers ofthis bookQuestions 35-40Complete the sentences below.Choose ONE WORD ONLY from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in bo某es 35-40 on your answer sheet.35 Some areas of both music and mathematics are suitable for someone who is a __________.36 It is sometimes possible to understand advanced mathematics using no more than a limited knowledge of __________.37 The writer intends to show that mathematics requires__________ thinking, as well as analytical skills.38 Some books written by __________ have had to leave out the mathematics that is central to their theories.39 The writer advises non-mathematical readers to perform__________ while reading the book.40 A lawyer found that studying __________ helped even more than other areas of mathematics in the study of law.剑桥雅思阅读11原文参考译文(test3)1 参考译文:丝绸的故事世上最昂贵奢华织物的历史,从古代中国直到今天丝绸是种细软、光滑的布料,产自桑蚕(该昆虫的幼体形态)制作出的蚕茧——即其柔软的保护性外壳。

异噁唑烷新型合成策略的研究进展
异噁唑烷新型合成策略的研究进展唐贝;王晓娟【摘要】The unique isoxazolidine scaffold exhibits an impressive potential as a mimic of nucleosides, carbohydrates, PNA, amino acids, and steroid analogs. In recent years, there have been an increasing number of studies on isoxazolidine and isoxazolidine-containing compounds.Novel reactions involving the isoxazolidine ring have been highlighted to accomplish total synthesis or to obtain bioactive compounds, one of the most significant examples is the thermic ring contraction probably applied to the total synthesis of (±)-Gelsemoxonine. This review briefly summarizes the novel synthesis of isoxazolidine.%作为核苷、碳水化合物、PNA、氨基酸和类固醇类似物的模拟物,异噁唑烷独特的骨架展现出令人印象深刻的潜力. 近年来,人们对异噁唑烷和含有异噁唑烷环的化合物的研究越来越多. 涉及异噁唑烷环的新型反应已被用于实现全合成或获得具有生物活性的化合物,其中一个最重要的例子是适用于( ±)-钩吻模合于碱全合成的热环收缩. 本文简要概述了异噁唑烷的新型合成方法.【期刊名称】《化学研究》【年(卷),期】2018(029)003【总页数】8页(P317-324)【关键词】异噁唑烷;新型;合成策略;研究进展【作者】唐贝;王晓娟【作者单位】河南应用技术职业学院,河南郑州450000;商丘师范学院化学系,有机新材料合成重点实验室,河南商丘476000【正文语种】中文【中图分类】O626.2在过去的十年里,氮原子和氧原子处于邻位的饱和五元异噁唑烷受到研究人员越来越多的关注,该杂环可通过熟知的1, 3-偶极环加成反应(1, 3-DC)获得. 对于那些无法通过1, 3-偶极环加成反应合成的异噁唑烷,其他一些有效的合成方法也已经被几个研究团队开发出来,从而扩大了异噁唑烷的种类,并将它们用于天然化合物的全合成.本综述总结并讨论了异噁唑烷环的各种新型合成路线. 异噁唑烷环的编号如图1所示.图1 异噁唑烷骨架Fig.1 Isoxazolidine skeleton1 不饱和羟胺的环化反应通过分子内环化反应,不饱和羟胺提供了一种有效形成1, 3-偶极环加成反应无法获得的新型异噁唑烷. 基于分子内环化条件的不同,反应机理也不同. 因此,本小节分为四个子部分:亲电子环化、钯催化环化、自由基环化和迈克尔加成.1.1 亲电子环化反应1.1.1 亲电5-Exo环化反应从N-高烯丙基羟胺衍生物1开始,LOMBARDO等[1]利用亲电5-Exo环化反应制备出5-碘甲基异噁唑烷2,见图2. 杂环部分的形成总是在非环状底物经O-三烷基硅基化之后有选择地进行. 尽管在一些实例中O-叔丁基二甲基硅基能提高反应的选择性,但是产率却都较低. 因此,通常选用O-三甲基硅基. 在所选用的亲电物质中,N-碘代琥珀酰亚胺(NIS)被认为是最合适的亲电子源.图2 取代羟胺的5-Exo碘代环化Fig.2 5-Exo iodocyclization with substituted hydroxylamines同样,JANZA等[2]研究了在各种亲电子源(E+ = NaOCl,PhSeBr,NBS,NIS,I2)存在下O-高烯丙基羟胺3的5-Exo环化反应,得到各种取代异噁唑烷4(图3). 图3 利用取代O-高烯丙基羟胺进行5-Exo环化Fig.3 5-Exo cyclization using substituted O-homoallyl-hydroxylamines随后,MORIYAMA等[3]利用KBr和过硫酸氢钾复合盐形成溴鎓类物质,开发了一种绿色合成路线. 该方法需要使用N-保护的羟胺(R1 = PhSO2、Ac或Tos),以避免异噁唑烷同时氧化成异噁唑啉. 两个研究团队都报道了对映选择性和3-5顺式选择性(dr值高达11.3∶1).在所述的亲电5-Exo环化反应中,有几种是由路易斯酸介导的,特别是烯酸羟胺5的环化[4](图4).图4 路易斯酸介导的丙二烯基羟胺的亲电5-Exo环化反应Fig.4 Electrophilic 5-Exo cyclizations of allenic hydroxylamines mediated by a lewis acid根据BATES等[5-8]和TOSTE等[9]的研究,更合适的催化剂是基于过渡金属银和金的催化剂. 许多天然产物如Porantheridine或(-)-Sedinine的合成已经完成. SHI等[10]也报道了Yb(OTf)3催化的5-Exo环化反应收获很高的产率. COSSY等[11]开发了一个独特的Fe(III)络合物催化的分子内反应,由N-保护的δ-羟基氨基烯丙基乙酸酯6开始,(图5). 机理研究表明,环化过程是通过烯丙基碳阳离子中间体进行的. 当R2=H时,通过动力学控制;当R2=Ph时,通过热力学控制,得到顺式产物7. 但是如果从β-羟基氨基烯丙基乙酸酯开始,优先形成反式产物,可能是由于此反应是通过SN2机理而不是通过碳阳离子中间体.图5 O-高烯丙基羟胺的分子内亲电5-Exo环化Fig.5 Intramolecularelectrophilic 5-Exo cyclization of o-homoallyl-hydroxylamines1.1.2 亲电5-Endo环化根据文献调研,5-Endo环化目前只能通过O-烯丙基羟胺实现. TIECCO等[12]以及LI等[13]报道了硒环化,而EGART等[14]研究了各种卤代环化. 对于O-高烯丙基羟胺的5-Exo环化,5-Endo环化需要使用N-保护的羟胺. 然而,与5-Exo环化相反,5-Endo环化优先或仅仅带来3-4反式选择性,这是通过SN2途径解释的.TIECCO等利用由二苯基二硒化物、过硫酸铵和三氟甲磺酸合成的苯基硒基硫酸酯,在乙腈中进行O-烯丙基羟胺的硒环化反应,见图6. 在初步研究中,他们观察到1, 4, 2-二噁嗪的形成取决于反应温度和R1取代基. 但是,在-50 ℃时1, 4, 2-二噁嗪开始反应转化为异恶唑烷,然后在室温下留下反应混合物. 最近,TIECCO研究团队进一步延伸了该方法,使用具有光学活性的三烯丙基三烯酸酯、溴和银三氟甲磺酸盐,以增加异噁唑烷化合物合成期间的非对映选择性[15]. 与以前的研究工作相比,羟胺8是用O-烯丙基肟保护,其在与烯化剂反应后通过水解转化成相应的异噁唑烷.图6 由手性二硒化合物合成异噁唑烷Fig.6 Synthesis of isoxazolidines from chiral diselenide1.2 钯催化的环化反应钯催化的非对映选择性级联反应是合成杂环化合物的一种适用方法,DONGOL等[16] 由N-Boc-O-高烯丙基羟胺合成出的异噁唑烷衍生物,顺式/反式比例高达10∶1. 然而,由于Heck偶联加合物的分离,只获得中等到良好的收率. 改变催化剂负载量或配体,反应收率未得到任何改善. ROSEN等[17-18]对这种方法进行了改进,使用不同的实验条件环化相同的羟胺衍生物9,仅以良好的产率和dr值获得预期的环10,见图7.图7 钯催化的N-Boc-O-高烯丙基羟胺的环化Fig.7 Palladium-catalyzed cyclization of N-Boc-O-homoallyl-hydroxylamine1.3 自由基环化反应JANZA和STUDER[19]对此类反应做出首次报道. 他们描述了在氧化条件下使用邻碘氧基苯甲酸(IBX)形成烷氧基-氨基. 通过这种方法,他们主要获得了预期的环状产物11(54%~71%)和两个副产物. 在使用无保护基或其他N-保护基如Boc或磺酰基时,反应无法进行,但是在使用N-对甲氧基苯甲酰胺PG时,形成主要产品酯12(40%),见图8.使用铜络合物和(2, 2, 6, 6-四甲基哌啶-1-基)氧基(TEMPO)作为N-磺酰基羟胺的温和氧化剂,KARYAKARTE等[20]发现形成的3-5-顺-异噁唑烷的产率和dr值都很高.1.4 迈克尔加成反应杂原子-迈克尔加成反应是形成C-N键或C-O键的一种有效的合成策略. 通过双亲核试剂如:羟胺,该方法提供了新的获得N-保护的异噁唑烷的途径. 20世纪90年代的第一次报道之后[21],CHEN等[22]在2006年深入发展了这一反应. N-Boc-不饱和羟胺13除去甲硅烷基后,经过一个分子内氧杂-迈克尔加成反应获得Boc-异噁唑烷14,产率高达99%,dr值达10∶1,见图9.图8 使用IBX的O-高烯丙基羟胺自由基环化反应Fig.8 Radical cyclization ofO-homoallyl-hydroxylamines using IBX图9 利用分子内氧杂迈克尔加成反应合成N-Boc异噁唑烷Fig.9 Synthesis of N-Boc isoxazolidine via an intramolecular Oxy-Michael additionα, β-不饱和醛经氮杂-迈克尔加成反应和氧杂-迈克尔加成反应也可以获得异噁唑烷. 羟胺(Boc-NH-OTBS)与α, β-不饱和醛15在胺催化下,经氮杂-迈克尔加成后,加入Wittig同系物得到不饱和羟胺16(图10). 不饱和羟胺16经三水合四丁基氟化铵(TBAF)处理脱去氮原子上的叔丁基二甲基硅基(TBS)保护基,最后经分子内的氧杂-迈克尔加成得到预期的BOC-异噁唑烷(99%的产率和10∶1的dr值).图10 利用双迈克尔加成反应合成N-Boc异噁唑烷Fig.10 Synthesis of N-Boc Lsoxazolidine via a double Michael addition受这个串联反应及EDWARD和 DAVIS工作的激发,YIN等[23]利用N-取代羟胺与醌单酮17进行双重-杂原子-迈克尔加成反应合成出相应的异噁唑烷18,产率都挺高(图11). 然而,由2-氯醌单体形成的异噁唑烷产率较低,只有17%~32%. 通过对单-迈克尔加成反应中间体的分离发现第一次共轭加成反应发生在氮原子上. 此外,当无取代基时,第一次加成反应发生在更亲电的双键上,当有取代基时第一次加成反应发生在空间位阻较小的位点上.图11 N-取代羟胺与醌单缩酮的双异质迈克尔加成反应Fig.11 Double-hetero-Michael addition of N-substituted hydroxylamines using quinone monoketals最后,从α, β-不饱和羰基衍生物19开始,利用一个化学和立体选择性控制策略完成了几种5-羟基异噁唑烷的合成. 先使用手性胺[24]或路易斯酸(Yb(OTf)3)[25]对羟胺进行催化氮杂-迈克尔加成反应,然后再经过醛醇缩合反应,生成N-Boc或N-Cbz环加成产物或N-未被保护的异噁唑烷(图12).图12 氮杂迈克尔加成和Aldol缩合介导的5-羟基异噁唑烷合成Fig.12 Aza-Michael addition and Aldol condensation-mediated synthesis of 5-hydroxyisoxazolidines由三甲基甲硅烷基三氟甲磺酸酯催化,2-三甲基甲硅烷氧基呋喃20与醛缩酮21经缩合得到不饱和羟胺22,不饱和羟胺22在脱去甲硅烷基后经分子内氧杂迈克尔加成形成双环异噁唑烷23[26-27](图13).图13 利用分子内氧杂迈克尔加成法合成双环异噁唑烷Fig.13 Synthesis ofbicyclic isoxazolidines by an intramolecular oxa-Michael addition2 从异恶唑烷酮合成在DIBAH的存在下,经氮杂-迈克尔加成反应、环化反应合成的异噁唑烷-3-酮24可被有效地转化成相应的5-羟基异恶唑烷25[28](图14).图14 在DIBAH存在下通过还原异噁唑烷-3-酮合成异噁唑烷Fig.14 Synthesis of isoxazolidines by reduction of isoxazolidin-3-one in the presence of DIBAH 3 从异噁唑啉合成异噁唑啉是一种不饱和五元环,可通过腈氧化物和烯烃的1, 3-偶极环加成反应制得. 该底物可通过各种方法容易地转化为相应的饱和环.例如,在乙氧基三氟化硼的存在下,BUHRLAGE等[29]将不同的有机金属化合物用于异噁唑啉26的亲核加成反应中,获得异噁唑烷27,产率最高可达80%,dr 值在7∶1和20∶1之间(图15).由于使用硼烷/1, 2-氨基醇络合物作为手性源,异噁唑啉的外消旋混合物可以有效地被还原成非对映体纯的异噁唑烷. 通过改变手性源和底物,TOKIZANE等[30]成功地将反应定位于一种产品. 以(-)-去甲麻黄碱为手性源、2, 4-二苯基异噁唑啉28为底物,仅得到84%的异噁唑烷29和6∶4的顺/反比. 相比之下,使用(-)-麻黄碱为手性源,异噁唑啉28只是被回收而已(图16).图15 利用异噁唑啉的亲核加成反应合成异噁唑烷Fig.15 Synthesis of isoxazolidines by nucleophilic addition on isoxazolines图16 利用硼烷/1,2-氨基醇配合物还原异噁唑啉合成异噁唑烷Fig.16 Synthesis of isoxazolidines by reduction of isoxazolines with borane/1,2-amino alcohol complexes通过类似的方法,不需要任何手性源,在乙酸中用NaBH4还原异噁唑啉30,可获得顺式3, 5-二取代的异噁唑烷31,再用Zn/AcOH还原顺式3, 5-二取代的异噁唑烷31形成相应的顺式1, 3-氨基醇32. 但是,若直接用Zn/AcOH还原异噁唑啉30,形成的则是反式1, 3-氨基醇33[31](图17).图17 用NaBH4还原异噁唑啉合成异噁唑烷Fig.17 Synthesis of isoxazolidines by reduction of isoxazolines with NaBH4最后,3-取代异噁唑啉34经氧化反应有效地转化为2, 3, 4-三取代异噁唑烷(图18). 在K2OsO4·2H2O和NMO(N-甲基吗啉氧化物)存在下,在丙酮/水中得到2, 3-二羟基异噁唑烷35,而在NBS(N-溴代丁二酰亚胺)存在下,在H2O/THF中得到的是2-羟基-3-溴异噁唑烷36[32].图18 异噁唑啉氧化法合成异噁唑烷Fig.18 Synthesis of isoxazolidines by isoxazoline’s oxidation4 从异噁唑啉盐合成在金属铱催化剂作用下,异噁唑啉盐37经氢化还原反应合成完全饱和的顺式异噁唑烷38,产率高达89%~98%,dr值达89∶11[33](图19).图19 异噁唑啉盐还原法合成异噁唑烷Fig.19 Synthesis of isoxazolidines by reduction of isoxazolinium salts有趣的是,当加入双倍量的催化剂时,在70 ℃下THF溶剂中反应4 h,得到的是饱和和不饱和环39,40和41的混合物(图20).图20 异噁唑啉盐还原法合成异噁唑烷和异噁唑啉Fig.20 Synthesis of isoxazolidines and isoxazolines by isoxazolinium salts reduction参考文献:[1] LOMBARDO M, RISPOLI G, LICCIULLI S, et al. 3-bromo-propenyl acetate in organic synthesis: an expeditious route to 3-alkyl-4-acetoxy-5-iodomethyl isoxazolidines [J].

The problems that were faced and solved in Athens were the sharing of political power between the established aristocracy and the emerging other classes, and the adjustment of aristocratic ways of life to the ways of life of the new polis. It was the harmonious blending of all of these elements that was to produce the classical culture of Athens.②Entering the polis age, Athens had the traditional institutions of other Greek protodemocratic states: an assembly of adult males, an aristocratic council, and annually elected officials. Within this traditional framework the Athenians, between 600 B.C. and 450 B.C., evolved what Greeks regarded as a fully fledged democratic constitution, though the right to vote was given to fewer groups of people than is seen in modern times.③The first steps toward change were taken by Solon in 594 B.C., when he broke the aristocracy's stranglehold on elected offices by establishing wealth rather than birth as the basis of office holding, abolishing the economic obligations of ordinary Athenians to the aristocracy, and allowing the assembly (of which all citizens were equal members) to overrule the decisions of local courts in certain cases. The strength of the Athenian aristocracy was further weakened during the rest of the century by the rise of a type of government known as a tyranny, which is a form of interim rule by a popular strongman (not rule by a ruthless dictator as the modern use of the term suggests to us). The Peisistratids, as the succession of tyrants were called (after the founder of the dynasty, Peisistratos), strengthened Athenian central administration at the expense of the aristocracy by appointing judges throughout the region, producing Athens’ first national coinage, and adding and embellishing festivals that tended to focus attention on Athens rather than on local villages of the surrounding region. By the end of the century, the time was ripe for more change: the tyrants were driven out, and in 508 B.C. a new reformer, Cleisthenes, gave final form to the developments reducing aristocratic control already under way.④Cleisthenes' principal contribution to the creation of democracy at Athens was to complete the long process of weakening family and clanstructures, especially among the aristocrats, and to set in their place locality-based corporations called demes, which became the point of entry for all civic and most religious life in Athens. Out of the demes were created 10 artificial tribes of roughly equal population. From the demes, by either election or selection, came 500 members of a new council, 6,000 jurors for the courts, 10 generals, and hundreds of commissioners. The assembly was sovereign in all matters but in practice delegated its power to subordinate bodies such as the council, which prepared the agenda for the meetings of the assembly, and courts, which took care of most judicial matters. Various committees acted as an executive branch, implementing policies of the assembly and supervising, for instance, the food and water supplies and public buildings. This wide-scale participation by the citizenry in the government distinguished the democratic form of the Athenian polis from other less liberal forms.⑤The effect of Cleisthenes’ reforms was to establish the superiority of the Athenian community as a whole over local institutions without destroying them. National politics rather than local or deme politics became the focal point. At the same time, entry into national politics began at the deme level and gave local loyalty a new focus: Athens itself. Over the next two centuries the implications of Cleisthenes’ reforms were fully exploited.⑥During the fifth century B.C. the council of 500 was extremely influential in shaping policy. In the next century, however, it was the mature assembly that took on decision-making responsibility. By any measure other than that of the aristocrats, who had been upstaged by the supposedly inferior "people", the Athenian democracy was a stunning success. Never before, or since, have so many people been involved in the serious business of self-governance. It was precisely this opportunity to participate in public life that provided a stimulus for the brilliant unfolding of classical Greek culture.译文古雅典①在公元前800年到公元前500年期间,希腊最重要的变化之一是城邦的崛起,并且每个城邦都发展了适合其情况的政府体系。

我如何挑选猫咪英文作文
我如何挑选猫咪英文作文英文:Choosing a cat can be a fun and exciting process, but it's important to do your research and consider a few key factors before making your decision.Firstly, consider your lifestyle. Are you someone who is always on the go and doesn't have a lot of time to spend at home? If so, a more independent cat breed such as a Siamese or a Persian might be a better fit for you. On the other hand, if you have a lot of free time and enjoy spending it with your pet, a more social breed such as a Maine Coon or a Ragdoll might be a better choice.Secondly, consider your living space. Do you live in a small apartment or a large house with plenty of room for your cat to roam? If you're short on space, a smaller breed such as a Devon Rex or a Singapura might be a better fit. If you have plenty of space, a larger breed such as aNorwegian Forest Cat or a Bengal might be a better choice.Lastly, consider your budget. While cats themselves are not typically expensive, certain breeds may require more expensive food, grooming, or veterinary care. For example, a hairless breed such as a Sphynx may require more frequent baths and moisturizing, while a breed with long hair such as a Himalayan may require more frequent grooming.In summary, when choosing a cat, consider your lifestyle, living space, and budget to find the breed that best suits your needs and preferences.中文:挑选一只猫咪可以是一个有趣且令人兴奋的过程,但在做出决定之前,有几个关键因素需要考虑和研究。

高中英语(人教大纲)第三册:Unit2 Crossing limits第一课时 教案
Unit 2 Crossing limitsⅠ.Brief Statements Based on the UnitThe topic we will talk about in this unit is about exploring the world.First,four famous voyage explorers in the world,including Zheng He in China,James Cook in England,Christopher Columbus in Spain and Abel Tasman in Holland are briefly introduced.They played an important role in the history of the world’s voyage.Second,we’ll learn two passages:one is about Reading out across the ocean,which tells us the contacts between China and Africa.The other is about Going high:the pioneers of the third pole,which describes to us that some people from all over the world climbed Mount Qomolangma.These will provide some information for us about exploring the world,and at the same time make us feel the explorers’ hardship,puzzles,success and greatness.In addition,the students can learn some useful language points through the materials provided in this unit,which are very helpful for the students to build up vocabulary about exploration.In the grammar part,the students will review the Predicate by doing some exercises,especially how to use the proper forms of given verbs to plete the passages.At last,teacher will help the students finish the task of writing,that is,how to write a persuasive essay.In a word,the students’ integrating skills can be well developed through learning.Ⅱ.Teaching Goals1.Talk about exploring the world.2.Practise judging situations and making decisions.3.Review the Predicate.4.Write a persuasive essay.Ⅲ.Background Information1.Columbus’s V oyagesColumbus made four voyages to the west between 1492 and 1504 in his vain search for a sea route to Asia.The mystery of why he failed to find it haunted(萦绕在心头)him and filled him with sadness.Wherever he went—to Cuba,Puerto,Rico,Jamaica,South America,Panama,down the coast of Central America—it was always the same story.Instead of golden palaces,there were grass huts and palm-leaf tents.Instead of silk-robbed merchant princes,he found “Indians” who did not have so much as a shirt on their backs.When Columbus explored the West Indies in 1493,he heard tales of a fierce Indian tribe(部落)who really devoured(吞噬)its defeated enemies after a battle.This people was called by many names in the area,including Calina,Canima,Carib,Cariba and Caniba.Columbus recorded the name of the American natives as Canibales in Spanish,a word which came to refer,within a few years,to any eater of human flesh.In the similar fashion,the word Caribbean, a title for the sea as well as for the region,came into English.At times Columbus became reconciled(意见一致)to the truth that this new land was not China,not Japan,not the Spice Islands.He seemed to accept it as a part of the earth that the geographers to Europe had never heard of before.It was another world—and he called it exactly that—but Columbus also insisted until he died that the land he had reached was an unknown part of Asia.2.James CookJames Cook was a great explorer,who was sent by England to explore the Pacific Ocean.Before he started exploring,maps of the Pacific Ocean were almost empty.He visited hundreds of islands across the Pacific Ocean and put them in the correct places on the map.He made maps of the coastlines of Australia and New Zealand.James Cook was born in England in 1728.His parents were poor farm workers.When James was 18,he found a job on a coast ship.He worked on the ship until he was 27 years old,and then he joined the navy.He fought in eastern coast of Canada in a war against France,and he mapped some of the eastern coast of Canada.In 1768 King George Ⅲ made him Captain of a ship and sent him to the Pacific.He was gone for nearly three years.When he returned,he was regarded as a national hero.He started his third voyage in 1776.On this trip he visited Hawaii.He was the first European to set foot on this beautiful island.Then he mapped the western coast of North America.After thathe returned to Hawaii.Unfortunately there was some trouble between the Hawaiians and the white men and they started fighting.In the end Captain Cook was killed in a clash with the locals.Ⅳ.Teaching Time:Five periodsThe First PeriodTeaching Aims:1.Learn and master the following words and phrases:evaluate,various,key,origin,equip,take possession of,in the name of,be rich in,risk one’s life,be equipped with2.Talk about exploring the world.3.Do some listening practice.4.Train the students’ speaking ability by practising judging situations and making decisions.

最后,文章强调了组织的重要性。
1. 阅读填空I used to be the messiest person alive. Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up withplans, organize them and follow through with them.Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen. Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done.Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans.Y ou should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn't work, you have way two and way three to lean back on. Therefore, different ways are needed at hand. It's just a matter of being organized. Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those ways doesn't work,one of the others will.Committing yourself to finishing at least part ifnot all of your plan at once is also necessary. It will show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling, but that you are interested in the results obtained with making the move to get everything done.If you make a commitment to finish before aspecific time, make sure that you carry that out, and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would, within the time-frame you set for yourself.Don't try to tackle (处理) more things all at atime. All that does is delay your progress, distract youand make you lose your interest, motivation andenergy.Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible. Y ou will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating ortrying to do more at a time.Last but not the least, you should never abandon things mid-project. It will only annoy everyonearound you including yourself. Unfinished plans are awaste of time, energy and, in some cases,evenmoney.So,don't be afraid of organization. The older weget,the more necessary it becomes to have the skills to follow through with confidence and to be able tocarry through plans in an organized and manageable way. It pays to be organized, after all.2. 请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

linked to a second monosaccharide unit by a C-glycosidic bond. Several examples of aza-C-disaccharides showing significant biological activities have been reported recently (e.g. 2 [7] and 3 [8]). Nevertheless, the only examples of true aza-C-analogues of parent disaccharides are those reported by Johnson et al. (e.g. 4). [9] However, these analogues were restricted to aza-manno configurations. In order to gain more insight into the mechanism of glycosidase inhibition and structure-activity relationship, it is of major importance to have access to a large variety of aza-C-analogues of natural disaccharides. As part of an ongoing study on the design and preparation of oligosaccharide analogues, [10] we here report the synthesis of known [9] aza-C-mannoside 4 as well as the new aza-C-analogues (5 and 6) of gentiobiose and allolactose.

dibromoolefin 7 with an excess of n-butyllithium at Ϫ50 °C into the corresponding acetylenic anion was followed by the addition of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl--mannopyranolactone (8a) [15] to give ketose 9a in 90% yield. Reduction of 9a with sodium borohydride followed by oxidation (DMSO-trifluoroacetic anhydride) [12] [16] of the newly generated hydroxyl groups afforded diketone 10a. Double reductive amination under the influence of ammonium formate and sodium cyanoborohydride [12] yielded fully protected aza-C-disaccharide 11a as a single isomer, the β--manno configuration of which was firmly established by NMR spectroscopy (e.g. J1Ј,2Ј < 1 Hz, J4Ј,5Ј ϭ 9.8 Hz). Hydrogenolysis of the benzyl groups and concomitant reduction of the triple bond in 11a with hydrogen and Pd on carbon led to the isolation of the known [9] azaMan-β-C-(1Ǟ6)-Glc 4. The syntheses of aza-C-glucoside 5 and aza-C-galactoside 6 were accomplished in a similar fashion. Thus, the acetylenic anion derived from 7 was treated in situ with lactones 8b and 8c, [15] to give the respective gluco- and galacto-ketoses 9b and 9c, in excellent yields. The ensuing reduction/oxidation sequence, as mentioned for the conversion of 9a into 10a, gave the expected diketones 10b and 10c in comparable yields. Double reductive amination of 10b and 10c afforded the corresponding aza-C-disaccharides 11b and 11c. The magnitudes of J1Ј,2Ј and J4Ј,5Ј confirmed the β--configurations of the disaccharides. It is of interest to note that reductive amination of the diketones 10a؊c in all three cases led to the isolation of β--azasugars in comparable yields, indicating that the orientation at either the 2Ј or 4Ј position of the diketone moiety does not influence the stereochemical outcome of the double reductive amination step. Subsequent debenzylation and reduction of the triple bond in 11b and 11c yielded azaGlcβ-C-(1Ǟ6)-Glc (5) and azaGal-β-C-(1Ǟ6)-Glc (6), respectively. The inhibitory potential of aza-C-disaccharides 4, 5, and 6 on a range of glycosidases is summarised in Table 1. Johnson and co-workers [9] already demonstrated that 4 inhibits neither common α- nor β-mannosidases. This result is further endorsed by the finding [20] that the same compound does not show any activity towards α-mannosidase (jack
FULL PAPER A Short and Flexible Route to Aza-β-(1Ǟ6)-C-disaccharides: Selective ␣-Glycosidase Inhibitors

Results and Discussion
Recently, Reitz et al. reported a synthetic route to azasugars employing reductive amination of dicarbonyl sugars. [11] According to this procedure, a wide range of azasugar derivatives including β-homonojirimycin [12] and castanospermine [13] have been constructed. It occurred to us that this reductive amination protocol could be adopted for the construction of the target aza-β-(1Ǟ6)-C-disaccharides 4, 5, and 6. In order to assess the viability of this concept, the preparation of 4 was undertaken (see Scheme 1). The required diketone 10a was synthesised by performing the following sequence of reactions. Conversion of known [14]
Introduction
Azasugars (polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines and piperidines) represent an interesting class of glycosidase inhibitors and are widely recognised as potential therapeutics for the treatment of inter alia diabetes, [1] cancer, [2] and viral infections. [3] The biological activity of these glycomimetics may be explained, apart from their conformational resemblance to natural sugars, by the protonation of the ring nitrogen at physiological pH, mimicking the developing charge of an intermediate oxocarbonium ion during glycosidic bond cleavage. [4] Aza-C-glycosides possess an additional carbon substituent at the pseudo-anomeric center, which is thought to mimic the aglycon part of an oligosaccharide. In this respect, it has been stated [5] that glycosidase inhibitors which permit interaction with the aglycon binding site are much more potent than azasugars lacking this feature. For example, α-homonojirimycin (1) shows stronger and more selective inhibition of α- versus β-exo-glycosidases than, for example, 1-deoxynojirimycin. [6]
