大学英语听说Unit_5
课文参考译文：此乃行动之时显而易见，我们面临着一个日益加剧的全球气候危机，需要我们勇敢、迅速、明智地采取行动。
“全球变暖”是很久以前对这一现象的称谓，其真实的状况应该是：目前在多个方面威胁人类文明的全球紧急状态。
在我们开始所谓的“《启示录》中所描写的世界末日的自然之旅”时，更强势的飓风和台风不过是许多新危险中的一种。
写到这里，我的心情因墨西哥湾人民所遭受的苦难而感到非常沉重。
美国和世界其他国家的人们目睹了我们许多人认为永远不会在这个伟大国家见到的景象，在佛罗里达州、阿拉巴马州、密西西比州、路易斯安那州及德克萨斯州，尤其是在新奥尔良州，数千人经历了无法估量的损失。
但是，如果我们不立即采取行动，这种苦难只不过是个开头而已。
科学已明确指出：全球变暖可能不影响飓风的出现频率，但它却能把一般的飓风变得更加强烈，从而加大了其破坏性。
在未来几年，如果我们不改变方向，那么会有更多像“卡特里娜”这样的风暴。
的确，自“卡特里娜”后我们又经历了包括飓风“威尔玛”的两次五级风暴。
“威尔玛”在登陆前是大西洋上有记录以来最强的飓风。
我们知道，飓风是受海洋暖水所驱动的“热机”；我们知道，来自我们工业社会的吸热气体正在使海洋变暖；我们还知道，在过去的30年里，全球四级和五级飓风的数量几乎增加了一倍。
现在该是将这些点连接起来的时候了：∙去年，科学课本得重新改写。
过去课本上常说：“南大西洋上不可能出现飓风”。
去年我们经历了第一次，发生在巴西。
日本去年也创台风的空前纪录：10级。
以前的纪录是7级。
∙今年夏天，美国200多个城市打破了空前的热浪纪录。
内华达州的里诺市以连续10天超过100华氏度（约37.8摄氏度）创下新的纪录。
亚里桑那州的图森市以连续39天超过100度平了其历史最高纪录。
新奥尔良州及墨西哥湾周围水域也创空前最高纪录。
∙今年夏天，印度部分地区遭遇创纪录的降雨，孟买24小时内降雨量达37英寸（约94厘米），致使1000多人丧生。

Similar structure are:as the saying goes,as everyone knows, as you know,as you put it,etc.3)(para.3)By turning off lights, the television,and the computer when you are through with them, you can help a lot.Analysis: By is followed by a gerund, introducing a prepositional phrase of manner.Note,by is not necessarily always translated as “通过”.4)(para.8)One of the ways to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that we put into the air is to buy pro ducts that don’t use as much energy.Analysis:Two That-clauses are used to serve as post-modifiers of nouns:the first one is that we put into the air, modifying greenhouse gases;The second that-clause is that don’t use as much energy, modifying products. Note: In translation, the noun phrase products that use as much energ y can simply be translated into”节能产品”, instead of “不消耗那么多能量的产品”.B. Important Words1)trap:v store(energy, gas or water,etc.)so that it cannot escape.2)Stand-by:n. Readiness for duty.3)Absorb:v. Take in,sack up (liquid,heat,knowledge,etc.)4)Membership: n. Being a member of (an organization)5)Swell:v. (number or amounts) grow bigger; expand.4. Passage Translation5. Read and Think: Answer the following questions according to the passage.6. Read and Complete1)Complete each of the following statements with words or phrases from thepassage.2)Fill in the blanks with the proper words or expressions given below, changing theform if necessary.7. Read and Translate8. Read and SimulatePassage twoInformation Related to the Reading Passagenguage Points:A.Explanation of Difficult Sentences1)(para.1) The most important thing to remember about the weather in Britain is that it often changes.Analysis: To remember about ...is the post modifier of the sentence subject the most important thing, and that introduces the complement clause.2)(para.1)As it is not very common in Britain to have long periods when the weather stays the same day after day, the kind of weather you get will depend not only on the time of year, but also on the luck.Analysis: Within the as-clause of reason, there is a relative clause introduced by when and modifying periods. And in its main clause, there is another relative clause you get modifying weather, with the relative that omitted.3)(para.2) For example, the opportunities for people to meet outside depend a lot on the weather, so you won’t see people meeting or spending time together outdoors asmuch as you do in hotter countries.Analysis:for people to meet outside modifies opportunities.Both meeting or spending time together are the object complement of verb see, and do refers to see...4)(para.3) Foreigners are often amused that the British people spend so much time discussing the weather.Analysis:That is often used to introduce a clause which gives the cause or the effect of an adjective, just like amused in this case.5)(para.4) Another reason is that the British people are reluctant to converse about personal matters with people who are not friends.Analysis:Here that introduces a subject-complement clause, in which a relative who-clause modified people.6)(Para.4) A comment on a nice day or a personal complaint about the rain is an easy way to break the ice.Analysis:Note that when or is used to coordinate two subjects, the verb must agree with the subject after or. To break the ice is an infinitive clause modifying an easy way.B. Important Words1)depend: v. A.change according to(no passive)B. Need someone or something for help or to be able to live.2)opportunity:n. A favorable moment or occasion (for doing sth.)3)Outdoors:ad. In the open air4)Amuse:v. Make someone laugh;cause laughter in5)Climate: n. The average conditions at a particular place over a period of year.6)Discuss:v. Talk about7)Variable:a. Changeable, not steady8)Reluctant:a. Unwilling and therefore perhaps slow to act.9)Converse:v. Talk informally10)Personally:a. Belonging or relating to a particular person, not to others11)Social:a.relating to leisure activities that involve meeting other people12)Comment:v. Make a remark, give an opinion2.Passage Translation3.Read and Judge: True/False4.Read and Translate: Translate the following sentences into Chinese.1)the most important thing to remember about British is the weather.2)People in Britain can enjoy the lovely weather most of the year.3)British people tend to talk about weather quite a lot.4)It is quite common in Britain for people to comment on a rainy day or an lovely day at a bus stop.5)The eating habits of people in Britain have a lot to do with the weather conditions there.6)The best we may use to describe the weather in Britain is “predictable”.7)The variable weather explains why British people talk a lot about it.8)Talking about weather is an inoffensive way to begin a conversation with a stranger in Britain.Section V Appreciating Culture Tips (Open.)。

What do you often do on sunny/rainy days?
• I often do a lot of outdoor activities on sunny days, such as playing basketball, hiking to the nearest lake and so on. On rainy days, I would rather like to stay at home, either watching TV or taking a rest.

• Because my hometown is far from the sea, in general it is pretty dry. Winter is a bit cold, dry and windy, and with a bit of snow. Spring is short and windy. Summer is hot and slightly humid, and the temperature can go as high as 38 degrees Celsius. So it can be kind of uncomfortable in the summer unless you have air conditioning. Finally fall is probably the best season— it’s very comfortable—not windy, and not too cold or too hot like the other seasons.
