Lesson 51 Predicting the futureKey to CompositionA possible answerflan and ideas for composition (a)Titles Computers in 20 years' time - Introduction: Predicting what computers will be like — guessing gameDevelopment: Development so fast — computers already smaller, more powerful, cheaper than ever — in 20 years, what? Let's speculate1 Everyday shopping by computer — virtual-reality shopping2 Education—computer-notebooks3 Travel- computer -driven aircraft, cars, lorries, etc.4 Medicine and health—brain surgery — computer-operated limbs Conclusion: Who knows? — wait and seeCompositionPredicting what computers will be like in 20 years' time or what they will be able to do is a guessing game. If Leon Bagrit could not predict everything, what chance have I got? However, because prediction is just a calculated guess, I will try!The development of the computer since the 1960s has been very fast. Prom large mainframe computers which filled whole rooms to small lap-top computers which you can carry in a shoulder bag or large handbag, it has taken only forty years. Computers are already smaller, more powerful and cheaper than they have ever been. So what might happen in the next twenty years? Let's speculate.In twenty years' time it's possible that many people will be doing their everyday shopping by computer. The "virtual-reality" shop will be available through your TV set. You will be able to "walk through" your supermarket on screen, click or tick what you want, and then order it — and it will be delivered. In education, most students could be using computer-notebooks which make notes for them as they listen to a lecture or watch a demonstration experiment. In the world of travel, aircraft already have computer systems that will con-trol auto-pilot In twenty years' time, computers could actually pilot aircraft — with no need for a real, live human pilot at all. Computers already help doctors diagnose disease and other health problems, and help in the control of body systems during opera-tions. What else might they do in the future? They might actually control certain kinds of surgery (brain surgery, for example) where the human hand cannot always keep still enough, and power computer-operated limbs.So there are some ideas. But who knows what might really happen? No one. No one can see into the future. We shall just have to wait and see. (307 words)Lesson 52 Mud is mudKey to CompositionA possible answerPlan and ideas for composition (a)Title: A day's shoppingIntroduction: Looking forward to day out — wanted to get new clothes — last Friday Development: Got up usual time —caught bus to centre of town —a list of purchases —something to wear to friend's wedding — pair of shoes to go with new clothes — within an hourhad most important things on list Then most difficult part of day — "Birthday present for Pat" —a book Spent 2 hours in one large book shop — failed — bought three for self!Conclusion: How I felt when I got home CompositionFor me, a day's shopping is the best way I think of to pass a day away from college or work. I have been looking forward to a day out shopping for weeks because I have wanted to get some new clothes for ages, so last Friday I took a day off.I got up at the usual time (as if I were going to work or college) because for me shopping is as serious as work. Before I left the house I made sure I put on a good pair of walking shoes and then caught the bus into the centre of the town.Some people visit all the shops in the hope that they will find what they want at the prices they want to pay. Not me: I'm one of those shoppers who has a list of purchases — and with a fairly good idea of how much I want to pay.The first thing 1 wanted was something to wear to a friend's wedding next month — and I didn't want to pay very much- I found just what f wanted in the second shop I visited. And in the second shoe shop I visited, I found a pair of shoes that would go with the new clothes and which I could wear to work afterwards. Within an hour I had bought the most important things on my shopping list. I was so pleased!But then came the most difficult part of the day. The third thing on my shopping list was "Birthday present for Pat". I like to give her a present but it is always so difficult. This year, I decided, I would buy her a book. Do you know how long I spent in one large book shop? Two hours! And even then I didn't get her a book — although I bought three for myself IBy the time I got home, it was six o'clock. I was absolutely exhausted, but pleased that I had managed to buy two things on my list.(337 word)Lesson 53 In the public interestKey to CompetitionA possible answerPlan and ideas for composition (6)Title: The work of a policemanIntroduction: In Britain —people —different attitudes to police —generally appreciate them (not criminals!)What do police do?Development: Number of jobs in one:Traffics ;keeping the peace; solving crime; helping to keep order in emergencies — air crashes, fires, road accidents, etc. Conclusion: Police do excellent job — don't envy them Composition In Britain, people have different attitudes to the police. Most people generally appreciate them and the job they do — although there. are certain people (including criminals, of course) who do not believe that the police should have the power that they do.What does a policeman actually do? It is not an easy job to describe. After all, a policeman has a number of jobs in one. A policeman often has to control traffic, either on foot in the centre of a town, or in a police car on the roads. Indeed, in Britain, he might be in the Traffic Police and spend all, or a lot of, his time driving up and down main roads and motorways. A traffic policeman has to help keep the traffic moving, stop speeding motorists and help when there is anaccident. 'A policeman has to help keep the peace, too. If there is a fight or some other disturbance, we expect the police to come and assess the situation and restore order. And they often have to deal with situations at great risk to themselves and their own safety.We expect the police to solve crimes, of course, so an ordinary policeman, even if he is not a detective, will often have to help look for and arrest criminals.And who do we call when there is an emergency —an air crash, a fire, a road accident, or a burglary? We call the police. So a po-liceman has to be prepared to face any unpleasant emergency that may happen in the modern world.The police do an absolutely necessary job, they do it extremely well and I support them, but I do not envy policemen. 1 do not think that 1 could ever do the job of a policeman. (296words)Lesson 54 Instinct or cleverness?Key to CompositionA possible answerPlan and ideas for composition (b)Title: Our efforts to control pestsIntroduction: What are "pests"? — see dictionary definition — always been difficult to control or exterminate themDevelopment: Insects: ants, wasps, locusts, (plague), beetles that damage woodwork. . . damage property, devour our crops, . . . —other pests —mice, rats —eat food —spread disease —efforts to control pests — insecticides and pesticides — poison —traps . . . . , . . . . , .For farmers, even certain birds are pests — gulls, pigeons, etc. — follow at sowing time and eat seeds —' scarecrows to frighten birdsConclusion: Tried almost everything — some pests held in check other still a major problem (e. g. locusts) . .CompositionAccording to my dictionary, "pests" are "small animals or. insects that harm or destroy food supplies". But, for me, they are more than that: they are insects and small animals that spread disease and damage property, too. Whatever they do and however you define them, pests have been a major problem to man throughout history. Man has tried to control or exterminate these creatures, but neverwith very much success.In some ways, insects are the worst pests. Ants, locusts and beetles damage property, woodwork, crops and harvest, and. in this century we have sprayed crops with insecticides and pesticides to protect them from insects. The problem now is that there are some in-sects that have become immune to pesticides. Rats and mice eat our food supplies too and spread disease, and people have tried to kill or catch them with poison or traps. But again, they are still with us- We. haven't managed to exterminate them.Let's not forget, however, that for farmers, certain birds are "pests" too. In Britain, seagulls, pigeons and other birds often fly down in their hundreds (or even thousands) to pick up seeds when farmers are planting crops. Years ago, fanners used to stand scare- crows in the fields to frighten away birds, but I'm not sure how effective they were.We have tried different things, then, to control pests, and we have managed to hold some pests in check. However, some are a big problem, both in the major industrial nations and in the Third World. While locusts are a terrible problem in countries like Sudan and Ethiopia, rats are still a problem in most large cities in the world. We might control pests to a certain extent, but we shall never get . rid of them. (292words)Lesson 55 From the earth: GreetingsKey to Composition.A possible answerPlan and ideas fair composition (a)Title: ExtraterrestrialsIntroduction: Remember "ET"? Ideas about extraterrestrialsDevelopment: But creatures with incredible intelligence and no form? How deal with them? Not benevolent? Stories of extraterrestrials aliens landing —have scientists studied them? Extraterrestrials helping scientists? Stories just rumours?Conclusion: Extraterrestrials out there in space? Perhaps one day we'll know: change our view of everything CompositionDo you remember ET in the Film ET, the Extraterrestrial'! If you do, you will know that the common picture of extraterrestrials is that they will look rather strange —for instance, they might have big eyes and funny feet and be a strange colour — but they will still somehow look like living creatures from earth. At the same time, of course, we believe that they will probably have incredible powers —like ET's power to heal injuries and to come alive again. Many science-fiction stories and films have shown aliens or extraterrestrials like this. They may somehow look like strange earth creatures, therefore, but they are benevolent.But what if extraterrestrials —beings from other planets —are creatures with incredible intelligence and with no form, that is, with no body form like earthly creatures? They might be almost "living thoughts''. How would we greet them? How would we deal with them? And what if they are not benevolent? In other words, what if they really want to take over the earth?There are stories that extraterrestrials or aliens have already crashed on earth m spacecraft (flying saucers) and that scientists have studied them. There are even more fantastic stories that scientists are already learning from extraterrestrials new knowledge which will help us build incredible spacecraft to fly to other planets and beyond. Stories like that must surely be just rumours.Perhaps one day we will know if there really are extraterrestrials out there in space, and if there are, we will know what they look like and what they think of us. Will they really be little green men? Or will they be giants? Or perhaps they will be so small that we can hardly see them? Will they be friendly? Or will they want to take over the earth? Who knows? One thing is certain. If we were ever to discover that there are extraterrestrials out there, the discovery would completely change our view of the universe and ourselves.(329 words)。

新概念英语第三册Lesson51重点句子及解析
新概念英语第三册Lesson51重点句子及解析【课文】Predicting the future is notoriously difficult. Who could have imagined, in the mid 1970s, for example, that by the end of the 20th century, computers would be as common in people's homes as TV sets? In the 1970s, computers were common enough, but only in big business, government departments, and large organizations. These were the so-called mainframe machines. Mainframe computers were very large indeed, often occupying whole air-conditioned rooms, employing full-time technicians and run on specially-written software. Though these large machines still exist, many of their functions have been taken over by small powerful personal computers, commonly known as PCs.In 1975, a primitive machine called the Altair, was launched in the USA. It can properly be described as thefirst 'home computer' and it pointed the way to the future. This was followed, at the end of the 1970s, by a machine called an Apple. In the early 1980s, the computer giant, IBM produced the world's first Personal Computer. This ran on an 'operating system' called DOS, produced by a then small company named Microsoft. The IBM Personal Computer was widely copied. From those humble beginnings, we have seen the development of the user-friendly home computers and multimedia machines which are in common use today.Considering how recent these developments are, it is even more remarkable that as long ago as the 1960s, an Englishman, Leon Bagrit, was able to predict some of the usesof computers which we know today. Bagrit dismissed the idea that computers would learn to 'think' for themselves andwould 'rule the world', which people liked to believe inthose days. Bagrit foresaw a time when computers would besmall enough to hold in the hand, when they would be capableof providing information about traffic jams and suggesting alternative routes, when they would be used in hospitals to help doctors to diagnose illnesses, when they would relieve office workers and accountants of dull, repetitive clerical work. All these computer uses have become commonplace. Of course, Leon Bagrit could not possibly have foreseen the development of the Internet, the worldwide system thatenables us to communicate instantly with anyone in any partof the world by using computers linked to telephone networks. Nor could he have foreseen how we could use the Internet to obtain information on every known subject, so we can read iton a screen in our homes and even print it as well if we want to. Computers have become smaller and smaller, more and more powerful and cheaper and cheaper. This is what makes Leon Bagrit's predictions particularly remarkable. If he, or someone like him, were alive today, he might be able to tellus what to expect in the next fifty years.【课文翻译】众所周知，预测未来是非常困难的。

If she were alive today she would not be able to air her views on her favourite topic of conversation: domestic servants. Aunt Harriet lived in that leisurely age when servants were employed to do housework. She had a huge, rambling country house called 'The Gables'. She was sentimentally attached to this house, for even though it was far too big for her needs, she persisted in living there long after her husband's death. Before she grew old, Aunt Harriet used to entertain lavishly. I often visited The Gables when I was a boy. No matter how many guests were present, the great house was always immaculate. The parquet floors shone like mirrors; highly polished silver was displayed in gleaming glass cabinets; even my uncle's huge collection of books was kept miraculously free from dust. Aunt Harriet presided over an invisible army of servants that continuously scrubbed, cleaned, and polished. She always referred to them as 'the shifting population', for they came and went with such frequency that I never even got a chance to learn their names. Though my aunt pursued what was, in those days, an enlightened policy, in that she never allowed her domestic staff to work more than eight hours a day, she was extremely difficult to please. While she always criticized the fickleness of human nature, she carried on an unrelenting search for the ideal servant to the end of her days, even after she had been sadly disillusioned by Bessie. Bessie worked for Aunt Harriet for three years. During that time she so gained my aunt's confidence that she was put in charge of the domestic staff. Aunt Harriet could not find words to praise Bessie's industriousness and efficiency. In addition to all her other qualifications, Bessie was an expert cook. She acted the role of the perfect servant for three years before Aunt Harriet discovered her 'little weakness'. After being absent from the Gables for a week, my aunt unexpectedly returned one afternoon with a party of guests and instructed Bessie to prepare dinner. No only was the meal well below the usual standard, but Bessie seemed unable to walk steadily. She bumped into the furniture and kept mumbling about the guests. When she came in with the last course -- a huge pudding -- she tripped on the carpet and the pudding went flying through the air, narrowly missed my aunt, and crashed on the dining table with considerable force. Though this caused great mirth among the guests, Aunt Harriet was horrified. She reluctantly came to the conclusion that Bessie was drunk. The guests had, of course, realized this from the moment Bessie opened the door for them and, long before the final catastrophe, had had a difficult time trying to conceal their amusement. The poor girl was dismissed instantly. After her departure, Aunt Harriet discovered that there were piles of empty wine bottles of all shapes and sizes neatly stacked in what had once been Bessie's wardrobe. They had mysteriously found their way there from the wine cellar! 【课⽂翻译】 我的姑妈哈丽特好多年前就去世了，这倒是件好事。

新概念英语第三册第51课-Predicting the future
新概念英语第三册第51课:Predicting the futureLesson 51 Predicting the future预测未来 Listen to the tape then answer the question below.听录音，然后回答以下问题。
What was the 'future' electronic development that Leon Bagrit wasn't able to foresee?Predicting the future is notoriously difficult. Who could have imagined, in the mid 1970s, for example, that by the end of the 20th century, computers would be as common in people's homes as TV sets? In the 1970s, computers were common enough, but only in big business, government departments, and large organizations. These were the so-called mainframe machines. Mainframe computers were very large indeed, often occupying whole air-conditioned rooms, employing full-time technicians and run on specially-written software. Though these large machines still exist, many of their functions have been taken over by small powerful personal computers, commonly known as PCs.In 1975, a primitive machine called the Altair, was launched in the USA. It can properly be described as the first 'home computer' and it pointed the way to the future. This was followed, at the end of the 1970s, by a machine called an Apple. In the early 1980s, the computer giant, IBM produced the world's first Personal Computer. This ran on an 'operating system' called DOS, produced by a then small company named Microsoft. The IBM Personal Computer was widely copied. From those humble beginnings, we have seen the development of the user-friendly home computers and multimedia machines which are in common use today.Considering how recent these developments are, it is even more remarkable that as long ago as the 1960s, an Englishman, Leon Bagrit, wasable to predict some of the uses of computers which we know today. Bagrit dismissed the idea that computers would learn to 'think' for themselves and would 'rule the world', which people liked to believe in those days. Bagrit foresaw a time when computers would be small enough to hold in the hand, when they would be capable of providing information about traffic jams and suggesting alternative routes, when they would be used in hospitals to help doctors to diagnose illnesses, when they would relieve office workers and accountants of dull, repetitive clerical work. All these computer uses have become commonplace. Of course, Leon Bagrit could not possibly have foreseen the development of the Internet, the worldwide system that enables us to communicate instantly with anyone in any part of the world by using computers linked to telephone networks. Nor could he have foreseen how we could use the Internet to obtain information on every known subject, so we can read it on a screen in our homes and even print it as well if we want to. Computers have become smaller and smaller, more and more powerful and cheaper and cheaper. This is what makes Leon Bagrit's predictions particularly remarkable. If he, or someone like him, were alive today, he might be able to tell us what to expect in the next fifty years.参考译文众所周知，预测未来是非常困难的。

作文英语未来的预测
作文英语未来的预测Title: Predictions for the Future。
In contemplating the future, we embark on a journey of speculation, envisioning the possibilities that await us in the realms of technology, society, and beyond. While the future remains elusive, we can draw upon current trends and emerging technologies to forecast potential scenarios that may unfold in the years to come.One area of immense interest and innovation is technology. The rapid advancement of artificialintelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize various facets of our lives. From autonomous vehicles navigating city streets to personalized healthcare powered by machine learning algorithms, AI is reshaping industries and challenging traditional paradigms. In the future, we can anticipate even greater integration of AI into everyday tasks, leading to increased efficiency and productivity.Furthermore, the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT) will continue to connect devices and enable seamless communication between them. Smart homes equipped with IoT sensors will anticipate our needs, adjusting temperature, lighting, and security settings autonomously. Wearable technology will evolve beyond fitness trackers to monitor our health in real-time, providing early warnings for potential medical issues.In the realm of transportation, the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) signals a shift towards sustainability and reduced carbon emissions. As battery technology improves and charging infrastructure expands, EVs will become more accessible to the masses, ultimately replacing traditional combustion engine vehicles. Moreover, the concept of urban air mobility promises to alleviate traffic congestion by introducing flying taxis and autonomous aerial vehicles into city skies.On a societal level, demographic shifts and cultural changes will shape the fabric of our communities. With an aging population, there will be increased demand for eldercare services and innovative solutions to support healthy aging. Furthermore, globalization will continue to blur geographical boundaries, fostering multiculturalism and diversity in our societies. However, this interconnectedness may also give rise to new challenges, such as cybersecurity threats and geopolitical tensions.Education will undergo a transformation as well, with online learning platforms becoming increasingly prevalent. The democratization of education through digital channels will provide access to knowledge and skills regardless of geographical location or socioeconomic status. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies will revolutionize the way we learn, creating immersive experiences that enhance comprehension and retention.In the realm of healthcare, breakthroughs in genetic engineering and personalized medicine hold the promise of tailored treatments for individuals based on their unique genetic makeup. CRISPR technology will enable precise gene editing, potentially curing genetic diseases and revolutionizing healthcare as we know it. Additionally,advancements in regenerative medicine may lead to the development of organs-on-demand, eliminating the need for organ transplantation waiting lists.However, along with these advancements come ethical considerations and societal implications that must be addressed. The ethical dilemmas surrounding AI, such as algorithmic bias and job displacement, require careful consideration and regulation to ensure equitable outcomesfor all. Similarly, the potential misuse of biotechnologies like CRISPR raises concerns about genetic discriminationand the commodification of life.In conclusion, the future holds boundless possibilities, driven by technological innovation and societal evolution. While we cannot predict the future with certainty, we can prepare for it by embracing change, fostering innovation, and addressing the ethical implications of emerging technologies. By doing so, we can strive to create a future that is not only technologically advanced but alsoequitable and sustainable for generations to come.。
实用英语口语（高级）1.Predictingthefuture
NEWSCASTER:Humans can be impatient sometimes. We just can't wait to see what will happen in the future, so we're constantly trying to predict it. Wouldn't you like to know what the world will be like in the year 2100? Will technology have changed people's lives for the better or worse? Who knows?NEWSCASTER:But it's fun to imagine .... We're going to look at three people from history who did justthat, visionaries whose imaginations were far ahead of their time and whosepredictions, although not always accurate, were certainly always interesting. LeonardoDa Vinci is most famous for works of art such as the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper.However, Da Vinci wasn't just a painter, he was also an engineer, a musician, abiologist, a writer, a mathematician and an inventor. Despite living in the sixteenthcentury, Da Vinci was able to predict some of the twentieth century's major inventions,even though it would have been impossible, at the time, to have built them.NEWSCASTER:By studying the flight of birds, Da Vinci designed rudimentary 'flying machines'' which, inthe twentieth century, would become airplanes, hang gliders and helicopters. In hisefforts to help defend the cities in which he lived, he came up with the idea of a tank, amachine gun and a cannon. Four hundred years later, as the Industrial Revolutioncompletely changed the face of the western world. HG Wells had only to look around himto think of the possible implications for the future. Regarded as the Father of ScienceFiction, Wells became famous for his futuristic stories, such as The War of the Worlds, inwhich Martians attack London, or The Time Machine, about a man who time travels to theyear AD 802701..NEWSCASTER:It was in his 1901 book Anticipations, however, that HG Wells made his more realistic,and accurate, predictions about the future. He wrote, for example, that in the future everycountry in the world would have huge highways on which thousands of cars and trucksdrove back and forth. This prediction has certainly come true. Another writer whopredicted the impact technology would have on the world was Philip K. Dick.NEWSCASTER:Since his death in 1982,, Dick has become famous due to many of his stories beingmade into science fiction movies. In the film Bladerunner, for example, robots who lookjust like humans, begin to learn human emotions and try to find out about the origin oftheir life. In Total Recall, travel companies give you an adventure holiday by implantingsynthetic memories into your brain. And, in A Scanner Darkly, the government uses stateof the art surveillance equipment to monitor the lives of its people. It seems unlikely that we'll see UFO's invade the earth, a time machine, or robots that look exactly the same as humans - at least in our lifetime - but as the drawings of Da Vinci prove, given enough time, and the right technology, even the most fantastic of ideas can come true.想看到飞碟⼊侵地球、时间机器或机器⼈不太可能，⾄少在我们有⽣之年不会实现。
