大学英语精读第四册Unit8TheNewCaves
大学英语精读第四册Unit8TheNewCaves第一篇：大学英语精读第四册 Unit 8 The New CavesWould you choose to live underground if you could gain many advantages from doing so? Weather would no longer trouble you.Temperature would remain the same all the year round.Artificial lighting could make the rhythm of our life uniform everywhere.And the ecology of the natural world above ground would be greatly improved.Still, the prospect of moving underground may not be appealing to many people.Unit 8 The New CavesDuring the ice ages, human beings exposed to the colder temperatures of the time would often make their homes in caves.There they found greater comfort and security than they would have in the open.We still live in caves called houses, again for comfort and security.Virtually no one would willingly sleep on the ground under the stars.Is it possible that someday we may seek to add further to our comfort and security by building our houses underground--in new, manmade caves?It may not seem a palatable suggestion, at first though.We have so many evil associations with the underground.In our myths and legends, the underground is the realm of evil spirits and of the dead, and is often the location of an afterlife of torment.(This may be because dead bodies are buried underground, and because volcanic eruptions make the underground appear to be a hellish place of fire and noxious gases.)Yet there are advantages to underground life, too, and something to be said for imagining whole cities, even mankind generally, moving downward;of having the outermost mile of theEarth's crust honeycombed with passages and structures, like a gigantic ant hill.First, weather would no longer be important, since, it is primarily a phenomenon of the atmosphere.Rain, snow, sleet, fog would not trouble the underground world.Even temperature variations are limited to the open surface and would not exist underground.Whether day or night, summer or winter, temperatures in the underground world remain equable and nearly constant.The vast amounts of energy now expended in warming our surface surroundings when they are too cold, and cooling them when they are too warm, could be saved.The damage done to manmade structures and to human beings by weather would be gone.Transportation over local distances would be simplified.(Earthquakes would remain a danger, of course.)Second, local time would no longer be important.On the surface, the tyranny of day and night cannot be avoided, and when it is morning in one place, it is noon in another, evening in still another and midnight in yet another.The rhythm of human life therefore varies from place to place.Underground, where there is no externally produced day, but only perpetual darkness, it would be arificial lighting that produces the day and this could be adjusted to suit man's convenience.The whole world could be on eight-hour shifts, starting and ending on the stroke everywhere, at least as far as business and community endeavors were concerned.This could be important in a freely mobile world.Air transportation over long distances would no longer have entail “jet lag.” Individuals landi ng on another coast or another continent would find the society they reached geared to the same time of day as at home.Third, the ecological structure could be stabilized.To a certain extent, mankind encumbers theEarth.It is not only his enormous numbers that take up room;more so, it is all the structures he builds to house himself and his machines, to make possible his transportation and communication, to offer him rest and recreation.All these things distort the wild, depriving many species of plants and animals of their natural habitat--and sometimes, involuntarily, favoring a few, such as ratsand roaches.If the works of man were removed below ground--and, mind you, below the level of the natural world of the burrowing animals —— man would still occupy the surface with his farms, his forestry, his observation towers, his air terminals and so on, but the extent of that occupation would be enormously decreased.Indeed, as one imagines the underground world to become increasingly elaborate, one can visualize much of the food supply eventually deriving from hydroponic growth in artificially illuminated areas underground.The Earth's surface might be increasingly turned over to park and to wilderness, maintained at ecological stability.Fourth, nature would be closer.It might seem that to withdraw underground is to withdraw from the natural world, but would that be so? Would the withdrawal be more complete than it is now, when so many people work in city buildings that are often windowless and artificially conditioned? Even where there are windows, what is the prospect one views(if one bothers to)but sun, sky, and buildings to the horizon--plus some limited greenery?And to get away from the city now? T o reach the real countryside? One must travel horizontally for miles, first across city pavements and then across suburban sprawls.In an underworld culture, the countryside would be right there, a few hundred yards above the upper level of the cities--wherever youare.The surface would have to be protected from too frequent, or too intense, or too careless visiting, but however carefully restricted the upward trips might be, the chances are that the dwellers of the new caves would see more greenery, under ecologically healthier conditions, than dwellers of surface cities to today.However odd and repulsive underground living may seem at first thought, there are tings to be said for it--and I haven't even said them all.第二篇：大学英语精读翻译答案第四册UNIT1 1.我们接到通知，财政部长将于次日接见我们。

现代大学英语精读4课后答案(外语教学出版社)
Lesson One Thinking as a HobbyAnswers:I. I have concluded that there were three grades of thinking since I was a child, while myself could not think at all. The subject of thinking was first brought up to me by my headmaster, in whose study I was shown the statuettes of Venus, leopard and the Thinker, which stands for love, nature and pure thought respectively. I was demanded to learn thinking there. People like Mr. Houghten provided me the image of Grade-three thinking, which is often full of unconscious prejudice, ignorance and hypocrisy. The grade-two thinker tends to find the deficiencies of the others, and may enjoy moments of delight, but it does not make for personal security. A still higher grade of thought demands people set out to find the truth and get it .Though these grade-one thinkers were few, I aspired to become one of them and devised a coherent moral and logical system for living. I stood to lose a great deal for my determination, but finally I dropped my hobby and turned professional in that.II.1 . C2 . C3 . D4 . D5 . C6 .B7 .C 8. D 9 .D 10. D 11. B 12 .D 13 .D 14 .B 15 .

现代大学英语精读4课后答案（外语教学出版社）Lesson One Thinking as a HobbyAnswers:I. I have concluded that there were three grades of thinking since I was a child, while myself could not think at all. The subject of thinking was first brought up to me by my headmaster, in whose study I was shown the statuettes of Venus, leopard and the Thinker, which stands for love, nature and pure thought respectively. I was demanded to learn thinking there. People like Mr. Houghten provided me the image of Grade-three thinking, which is often full of unconscious prejudice, ignorance and hypocrisy. The grade-two thinker tends to find the deficiencies of the others, and may enjoy moments of delight, but it does not make for personal security. A still higher grade of thought demands people set out to find the truth and get it .Though these grade-one thinkers were few, I aspired to become one of them and devised a coherent moral and logical system for living. I stood to lose a great deal for my determination, but finally I dropped my hobby and turned professional in that.II.1 . C2 . C3 . D4 . D5 . C6 .B7 .C 8. D 9 .D 10. D 11. B 12 .D 13 .D 14 .B 15 .

Each member of the world community becomes more and more integrated and inter-dependent. Globalization also refers to a process of removing government-imposed restrictions on movements between countriesin order to create an open, borderless world economy.Of course, Globalization, to a large extent, ensured that China’s economy would develop in a balanced way by keeping pace with the world economy. Increased globalization has brought the world vast investment space in China and thus boosted China’s eco nomic growth.

现代大学英语精读4UNIT8翻译及课后答案
UNIT8全球化的双重力量世纪之交，全球化已成为一把双刃剑：一方面，作为一种有力的工具，它能够促进经济增长，推广新技术，同时提高富国与穷国的生活水平；另一方面，作为一种引起巨大争议的进程，它侵犯国家主权，侵蚀当地文化与传统，威胁经济与社会稳定。
21世纪一个令人生畏的难题是各国将控制这一巨变，还是反过来被其控制。
从某种意义上来说，全球化不过是古老过程的一个时髦字眼。
所谓的市场不过是买方与卖方、生产者与消费者、储蓄者与投资者的结合而已。
在很大程度上，经济史就是市场扩张的过程，即从农场向城镇、从地区向国家，以及从一国向另一国扩张的过程。
在20世纪，经济大萧条以及两次世界大战阻滞了市场的发展。
但是第二次世界大战结束后，在政治压力与先进技术的推动下，经济又得到了加速发展。
在从20世纪40年代后期到80年代的冷战期间，美国极力捍卫以贸易自由化与经济增长作为对抗共产主义的一种手段。
一系列的主要贸易谈判使工业化国家的平均关税由1946年的约40%降低到1990年的约5%。
两次世界大战后，欧洲人认识到经济一体化是对付致命的民族主义的最有效的解毒剂。
技术与政治相辅相成。
在因特网面世之前，日益下降的通讯与交通成本——从喷气式飞机，质量更优的海底电缆到人造卫星——有利于提高商业全球化的程度。
到了20世纪90年代初期，全世界出口量（扣除价格上涨因素）几乎是40多年前的10倍。
全球化推动了这一进程，但同时也至少在一个重要方面违背这一进程。
直到最近，国家一直被视为独立的经济实体，国家之间主要靠贸易连接起来。
现在，情况已经不完全是这样了。
公司与金融市场在生产、营销与投资决策方面已经越来越不看重国界了。
根据国际金融研究所（华盛顿的一家银行业研究小组）的统计，早在1990年，各国政府——独自或是通过像世界银行这样的多边机构——向29个主要发展中国家（包括巴西、中国、印度、朝鲜与墨西哥）提供了占半数的贷款与信贷。
10年后，甚至1997—1998年间的亚洲金融危机过后，私人资金流使得政府的资金流相形见绌。
