One thinks of successes in medicine in the fight against disease, such as the invention of antibiotics and the promise held out by advances in biogenetic engineering. On a broader scale, one thinks of man's success in harnessing new forms of energy from steam power through oil to nuclear power.Yet, nature has often hit back in unexpected ways to these attempts to tame it. New forms ofAppendix I - 98-disease that are resistant to antibiotics are constantly developing. Burning fossil fuels has led to fears of global warming; while nuclear power has produced dangerous waste that will remain a hazard for generations to come.However, perhaps to talk of man triumphing over nature is the wrong way to look at the matter. We need to find ways to work with nature rather than forever fighting against it.(154 words)Unit 2Text org. Ex. 2 On P381. Smart cars can see, hear, feel, smell, talk, and act;2.

At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The Internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues,let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.Unit 5VocabularyI.1. 1) In a way 2) in accordance with 3) vacancy 4) in good condition5) transparent 6) rub 7) spicy 8) hitherto 9) with (a) bad grace 10) instinct 11) pawned 12) current 2.1) turned up 2) will stick to 3) brought back 4)go about 5) driving at 6) put …away 7) turning …over 8) took …aback3. 1) has a very weak constitution --- she may not be able to survive the operation.2) was taken aback by the insurance company’s rejection of my compensation claim3) was something of a surprise when we ran into each other in a place like that.4) needs trimming/ to be trimmed ---it’s getting too long.5) are often deceptive4.1) Oddly en ough …went broke …wrinkled … he had gone all to pieces2) definite … is capable of …her vanity3) too mild … sipping … strokeII.

For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive. For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death. Without doubt, Burton was a man with a heart of stone.Unit 6Vocabulary1. 1) appliances 2) comparative 3) multiply4) distribution5) prosperity 6) decorate7) famine8) large quantities of/ a large quantity of9) streamline10) fax11) pointed the way to 12) bewildered2. 1) eat into 2) cling to3) stand out/ stood out 4) wears away5) set about 6) switch off7) will be turned loose 8) poured in3. 1) is forecast to be below average next year, which at the moment is4 percent.2) to enter the building and find the baby girl proved futile as rescuers were driven out by the heat and flames.3) was urged to divert some of its attention from expanding production and get more involved with issues of market demand.4) can really eat heavily into your profits when you are selling suits at £900 and dresses at £2,000.5) has toiled endlessly over the exercise machine for the last twenty years in order to keep her body in shape.4. 1) reaction to… discontent… provoked2) C onvention… evading tax… the confines of3) a burden… are always on the go/ seem forever on the go… to copeII.

Is it sensible, we may ask, to spend large sums of money to save some species – be it an elephant or an orchid – in a nation in which a large proportion of the population is living below the poverty line?2) This new technology could be used anywhere large numbers of people need to be quickly screened --- at airports, train stations, bus terminals or border crossings.

But, believe it or not, it isn’t money that ensures youa happy marriage; it is your philosophy of life that does.4) Not all the risks on the Internet are sexual, you know.

Today we are under constant pressure to work longer hours, to produce more, and to possess more.

The building just across the street toppled right before our eyes, debris flew everywhere and a cloud of choking dust blotted out the sun. Horror-stricken people ran in all directions, crying and screaming. Now, many years after that tragic event, a new town has risen on the wreckage of the old one.

When we arrived at the town, Caroline was so excited that she darted towards the first bridge she saw and began singing loudly there. Suddenly her voice hushed when she found that she had startled a flock of ducks not too far from us. Now as Caroline was dying for a boat ride, we decided to tour the town by boat. Now loud, now soft, Caroline talked to all the creatures in the stream and was fussing about everything while I looked at the boats gliding over the water in silence. Though we did not see anything spectacular, we enjoyed every minute in the town that lies out of the range of the heavy traffic and noise of the large city.Zhouzhuang is worth visiting and, time permitting, I’d like to go there again.。

The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack.

We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over. Thanks to the cold weather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle.

美国梦对不同的人有着不同的含义。

但对许多人,尤其是对移民而言,它意味着改善自己生活的机会。

对于他们,美国梦的含义就是才能与勤劳能让你从小木屋走向白宫。

托尼·特里韦索诺并没有爬那么高,但他成功地使自己的梦想成真。

托尼·特里韦索诺的美国梦弗雷德里克·C·克罗弗德他来自意大利罗马以南某地的一个遍地是石头的农庄。

他什么时候以及怎么到美国的,我不清楚。

不过,有天晚上,我看到他站在我家车库后面的车道上。

他身高五英尺七、八左右,人很瘦。

“我割你的草坪,”他说。

他那结结巴巴的英语很难听懂。

我问他叫什么名字。

“托尼·特里韦索诺,”他回答说。

“我割你的草坪。

”我对托尼讲,本人雇不起园丁。

“我割你的草坪,”他又说道,随后便走开了。

我走进屋子,心里有点不快。

没错,眼下这大萧条的日子是不好过,可我怎么能把一个上门求助的人就这么打发走呢?等我第二天晚上下班回到家,草坪已修整过了,花园除了草,人行道也清扫过了。

我便问太太是怎么回事。

“有个人把割草机从车库里推出来就在院子里忙活起来,”她回答说。

“我还以为是你雇他来的。

”我就把前晚的事跟她说了。

我俩都觉得奇怪,他怎么没提出要工钱。

接下来的两天挺忙,我把托尼的事给忘了。

我们在尽力重整业务,要让一部分工人回厂里来。

但在星期五,回家略微早了些,我又在车库后面看到了托尼。

我对他干的活夸奖了几句。

“我割你的草坪,”他说。

我设法凑了一小笔微薄的周薪,就这样托尼每天轻扫院子,有什么零活,他都干了。

我太太说,但凡有重物要搬或有什么要修理的,他挺派得上用场。

夏去秋来,凉风阵阵。

“克罗先生,块下雪了,”有天晚上托尼跟我说。

“等冬天到了,你让我在厂里干扫雪的活。

”啊,对这种执着与期盼,你又能怎样呢?自然,托尼得到了厂里的那份活儿。

几个月过去了。

我让人事部门送上一份报告。

他们说托尼干得挺棒。

一天我在车库后面我们以前见面的地方看到了托尼。

“我想当学徒,”他说。

At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues, let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.Unit 5VocabularyI1) In a way 2) in accordance 3) vacancy 4) in good condition 5) transparent 6) rub 7) spicy 8) hitherto9) with (a) bad grace 10) instinct 11) pawned 12) current2.1) turned up 2) will stick to 3) brought back 4)go about5) driving at 6) put away 7) over 8) took aback3.1) has a very weak constitution --- she may not be able to survive the operation.2) was taken aback by the insurance company’s rejection of my compensation claim3) was something of a surprise when we ran into each other in a place like that.4) needs trimming/ to be trimmed ---it’s getting too long.5) are often seceptive4.1) Oddly enough /went broke /wrinkled / he had gone all to pieces2) definite / is capable of /her vanity3) too mild / sipping / strokeII.

The teacher’s affectionate words, along with his candid comments, changed the way Mike perceived the society and himself.2.For my own part, I find that appearances are all too often deceptive. For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death.

Usage1)Dealing with the extinction crisis is no simple matter. Is it sensible, we may ask,to spend large sums of money to save some species –be it an elephant or an orchid – in a nation in which a large proportion of the population is living below the poverty line?2)This new technology could be used anywhere large numbers of people need to bequickly screened --- at airports, train stations, bus terminals or border crossings.However, experts suspect, there is also the risk that people will learn to fool the machine the same way they try to fool polygraph readings by controlling their breath or taking drugs to relax themselves.3)With a high percentage of marriages ending in divorce, often due to financialdifficulties, you would say that money is a big factor in making a good marriage.But, believe it or not, it isn’t money that ensures you a happy marriage; it is your philosophy of life that does.4)Not all the risks on the Internet are sexual, you know.

Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.。

Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.Unit2 ValuesVocabularyIaabrupt bemotional cblessdwear and tear edatedfconsequencesgseeminglyhin contrast toiCuriosityjgenuinekprimarilylsentiments1confronted with more than one problem, try to solve the easiest one first. 2vital to the existence of all forms of life.3some confusion among the students about what to do after class to follow up on the subject.4nothing more than a job and an apartment to be happy.5tickled him to think that she’d come to ask his advice1) a lingering; fabricating; sentiments2)fill out; every item; vital; consequences3)be denied; tangible; cherish; attainIIis a long trip and will take us five hours by bus.arrived early and took a front row seat.’t take me for a fool.takes a lot of imagination to fabricate such a story.uncle will take me along on his trip to the Arctic this summer.took the dinner plate I passed to him.took second prize in the weight-lifting competition.you don’t take my advice, you will regret it.IIIgive return praisedhaving writtensayopenhelpedComprehensive Exercises I.clozeawell-off/affluen tbdatedcfalling into dbracket edenyftangiblegpursuithcherishesiout of placejabruptkfocusldonationsIII.

Mr. Johnson assured them that he would certainly settle the issue.

English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.

Misfortunes came one after another. Chicken died suddenly, cattle and sheep were stricken by mysterious maladies, and farmers complained about a sickening feeling that puzzled the village doctor. The village square, once throbbing with life, was now deserted.。

Try to think of it・ I guarantee the answer is in your head, literally・ Thafs because its the human brain. The most complex n etworks, the most powerful systems, can not match it. Changing that is the ultimate goal of artificial intelligenee. It is not about building a robot but creating a computer mind that can think like a human・ But there are many steps along the way. So-called simple or narrow Al systems are already everywhere・ From Apple Siri to Facebook's friend recommendations, its in our cars, our homes, and air traffic control. A narrow Al has been around for years, doing one specific task better than any human. The computer Deep Blue, beat the world chess champion, way back in 1997. But ask it to play draughts, and it wouldn't know where to start・ It couldn't learn the game for itself. It couldrft think as a human. And so we come back to the challenge. Some say the danger of creating a hu man or general Al, a computer mind that thinks like a human, that learns, that improves, but could even become superhuman. Experts predict 2050 is the year we could see it If it Isn't impossible. It is a risk worth billions. Some say it will save humanity・ Others say it could destroy us.

Our troops engaging the enemy at the front were faced with strong/fierce/stiff resistance. The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack. To do so, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over. Thanks to the cold weather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle.

However, today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents.

For example, young farmers are moving on a large scale to urban areas to look for jobs. And for those young people who aspire to study abroad or work in foreign-invested enterprises, English has become increasingly important. At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues, let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.Unit 5I.

For instance, you might be wrong if you judged by appearances only people like Edward Hyde Burton. In appearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death.

Lots of people hold the wrong perception that happiness lies in working hard and earning well/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families.

For example, young farmers are moving on a large scale to urban areas to look for jobs. And for those young people who aspire to study abroad or work in foreign-invested enterprises, English has become increasingly important. At the same time, a considerable number of overseas Chinese students have returned home in recent years, for they hold an optimistic outlook for the long-term growth of the Chinese economy. The internet has strengthened the links between Chinese young people and those elsewhere. They follow the latest trend and copy foreign fashions. Some of them don’t seem to care for traditional Chinese virtues, let alone carry them forward, which has given rise to worries that the traditional Chinese culture might one day vanish.Unit 5I.

He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death.

Confusable Wordsstress tension nervousnessWhen you are doing a presentation, you should concentrate on the ideas you want to get across, not on your own nervousness.Studies have found that thirty minutes of intense physical exercise immediately reduces body tension and counters anxiety and depression.There is tendency to think of occupational stress as applying mainly to the busy executive, but such people often experience less stress than those in the ranks immediately below them.The incident indicated the high degree of racial tension in New York City, particularly between the black and Jewish communities.honorable honoraryShe received an honorary doctorate (博士学位) from Oxford University in recognition of her work for the homeless.The Chairman of the Select Committee on Foreign Affairs is the former Cabinet Minister, the Honorable David Howell.To most local residents, military service seems the most secure and honorable option available to an unmarried young man without a steady job.The American conductor Andre Previnhas been awarded an honorary knighthood for his contribution to Anglo-American cultural relations.Suicide was an honorable choice for many Romans as an alternative to a dishonorable life.Mr. Steward said he would continue offering his service to the company in the capacity of Honorary President.III.

Sites promoting violence are just a click away, and may include instructions for making bombs and other destructive devices. Comprehensive ExercisesI. Cloze(A) Can you switch off (1) from the cares of life and relax? Many people today cannot. They feel instead that they are obliged (2) to be on the go (3) all the time. The pace of life seems to grow ever faster. As a result, feelings of stress are common as people struggle to cope (4) with what they see as a shortage (5) of time. Such widespread feelings are in part caused by the large quantity of (6) information that comes pouring in (7) on us. “All men,” said Aristotle, “by nature (8) desire to know.” But it is no longer possible, as it was in the past, for an individual to master the whole range of human knowledge. Instead, any individual, no matter how smart he is, can only command a fraction (9) of the total knowledge available. It may be argued that it is futile (10) to even attempt to do so. We should learn to set more realistic goals for ourselves if we are to hope to escape from the tyranny of time.6B There's no such thing as time management. All you have is self-management and that is the key to making time your friend rather than your enemy.(B) Theme-relatedThere are only 24 hou rs in your day, just the same as everybody else’s. So how do you end up time-starved, frustrated, and behind in your work? Maybe it is because you don’t know how to use those 24 hours to your advantage (1).If using your time wisely (2) is a problem for y ou, you probably don’t have a very good idea of where it all goes. It just seems to go! A good place to start, then, is to faithfully (3) keep track of how you use your waking (4) hours for a week. The results will probably surprise you.The next step is to do some planning. You’ll discover, among other things, that if you get seven hours’ sleep a night, you have 119 hours per week to do everything you need to do. That, of course, includes (5) going to class, eating, social activities, personal hygiene, telephone and TV time, etc. Be sure to schedule (6) time for all these in your 119 hours. Then try sticking (7) to your schedule for a week. This should give you a good idea of what your real priorities (8) are!Learn to say NO once your priorities are set (9). Turning down an invitation doesn’t mean you’ll never be invited again. Making a decision based on what you know is best for you at the time actually leads to great respect (10) from your friends.II Translation1) 他们正在探索医学研究的新领域,试图治疗那些目前还无药可救的疾病。
