新概念英语第4册课文(中英文对照)

Lesson 1 Finding fossil man 发现化石人We can read of things that happened 5,000 years ago in the Near East, where people first learned to write.But there are some parts of the word where even now people cannot write. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas -- legends handed down from one generation of another. These legends are useful because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago, but none could write down what they did. Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian peoples now living in the Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these people explain that some of them came from Indonesia about 2,000 years ago.But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that even their sagas, if they had any, are forgotten. So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out where the first 'modern men' came from.Fortunately, however, ancient men made tools of stone, especially flint, because this is easier to shape than other kinds. They may also have used wood and skins, but these have rotted away. Stone does not decay, and so the tools of long ago have remained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace.参考译文我们从书籍中可读到5,000 年前近东发生的事情，那里的人最早学会了写字。

noise.In the street there is the noise of traffic-engine noises,car alarms,the screeching of tyres and brakes,in factories there is the continual drumming of machines of all kinds,and in the office there is the noise of office equipment-the tap-tap-tap of computer keyboard keys,the ringing of telephones,fax machines and so on.Even in home,where labour-saving devices have made life so much easier for many people,some of the comfort has been at the expense of noise-vacuum cleaner s,washing machines,dishwashers and air extractors;they all make a noise even if manufacturers try to tell us sometimes that their machines are 'slient'!And even in the countryside,or in your own back garden in the city,there are always aeroplanes overhead - large passenger jet aircraft,helicopters,and even,sometimes,military jet aircraft.In our modern industrial society,hardly anywhere is free from noise.In towns and cities,particularly,the problem bas become acute.And yet people have learned to live against this background and do not seem to be affected.Indeed,some people have learned to live against this background and do not seem to affeted.Indeed,some people even seem to require noise as a necessary environment in which to work:'muzak'in the workplace,in shops,in hotels is a perfect example of the need for 'noise',for that is all 'muzak'is.We seem to be helpless to do abything about recucing noise in this modern world and many have come to accept it as one of the more unpleasant features of modern civilization.And although few of us complain about it ,this is one of the main reasons that people give for going to an island,the countryside,the hills or the mountains for the weekend,or for their annual holiday-'To get away from everything,especially the noise'.10.经典分享He who establishes his argument by noise and command,shows that his reason is weak.——Michel de Montaigne 蒙恬，法国文艺复兴时期著名作家You don't have to be noisy to be effective.——Philip Crosby 美国商人兼作家Lesson 261.amber

history museum where the skeletons and fossils of extinct forms of life are on display.It is this fascination,too,felt by so many people,that attracts them to adventure stories like The Lost World or films like Jurassic Park.What sorts of things can one see in a natural history museum?The remains of animals that existed in prehistoric times.Sometimes we can see just parts of a creature,sometimes we can see just parts of a creature,sometimes the whole skeleton.There are reptiles,dinosaurs and tyrannosaurs.There are pterodactyls,the horrific-looking creatures with long,tooth-filled beaks,which were the ancestors of our present-day birds.Therefare the remains offish,small and large,especially early sharks,and there are fossilized crustaceans.There are the remains of our own ancestor,early man such as Neanderthal man.Museums also display the remains of animals which have become extinct relatively recently,like the flightless bird called the dodo.It is sad to think that the dodo only necame extinct about three hundred years ago,and would probably not have become extinct if Europeans had not hunted it on its native island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.How many more forms of animal life are in danger of becoming extinct today that our children will only see in museums?And then of course there are those creatures which have been called 'living fossils'-primitive forms of life which came into being millions of years ago and wich have surprisingly survived,apparently without developing greatly.Examples are the coelacanth(the fish that was first discovered earlier in the twentieth century)and the duck-billed platypus in Australia.16.经典推荐Jurassic Park 侏罗纪公园Lesson 271.flagship store 旗舰店2.hurricane 飓风（大西洋）typhoon 台风（太平洋）tornado 龙卷风3.Yangtze River 扬子江，长江4.ablaze with sth

was true of a ship that sank in very deep water and indeed it still is.But even if a ship sank in relatively shallow water ,in a harbour,for example,there was very little hope of recovering any lost treasure or indeed of recovering anything else from the wreck.In most cases,even bodies of men who went down tith the ship would remain in it.Modern diving techniques,of course,have made salvaging far less difficult.A shipreck can be discovered and in vestigated by sonar,and skin divers can go down and investigate the wreck before any serious salvage work is begun.The same modern diving techniques have also meant that hunting for treasure can be carried out not only by experts but also by amateurs.So quite a lot of amateur divers spend their weekends and holidaysdiving for"treasure".What kinf of treasure can be recovered?And where from?Not surprisingly there are shipwrecks all around the coast of Great Britain and other island in the world.The Mediterranean Sea,too,is an excellent hunting ground for salvagers and treasure hunters.Many of the Roman and Greek ships at the bottom of the Sea are full of works of art.The sea off the coast of Florida and around the Bahamas is another hunting ground,this time for gold from Spanish galleons.Many shipwrecks,of course,do not contain treasure in terms ofgold,silver,jewels or works of art.But they all contain another kinkd of'treasure':they contain the seapons used on ships(the cannon,swords,and so on),everyday artcles of clothing(shoes,leather belts,etc.)and items of everyday use(plates,bottles,etc.).All of these'teeasures' teach us a great deal about the history of the time.19.经典分享RMS Titanic=royal mail steamship Titanic Titan 泰坦神Lesson 281.be sceptical about/of 怀疑2.fervent fans/admirers 热情的粉丝3.curative 治病 cure-：take careaccurate

buy good health care.If all working adults pay taxes,then they,their children and their parents should expect free medical service,at a doctor's surgery or at a hospital,a free emergency ambulance service,and at least free dental treatment.It has often been said that public health service is expensive to run and that it is offten abused.While it is expensive to run,and it is,like many social services,open to abuse,it seems nevertheless to be one of the things that a modern society must offer its citizens.There is of course one major problem,and that is the cost of the people who work in it-the doctors,nurses,surgeons,dentists and administrative staff.Such people often complain that they do not receive the wages or salaries that they could earn in the world of private medical care or in a totally different profession.And because a healthy service,like other public services,is run on government lines,bureaucracy often creeps in so that the administration can cost more than the medical services and treatment.Does a public health service work in all countries?No,it doesn't.There are countries where a public health service seems to be an impossibility:America is a perfect example.On the other hand,there are a number of countries in the world which have successful,or moderately successful public health services,for example Sweden,Britain and Israel.Even in a country like Britain,however,there is also a world of private medicine that people can doin if they can afford it.Apublic health service is an excellent idea,but no one should be forced to join it.14.经典分享纪录片SickoMichael Moore 导演15.remain of 保留（不及物动词）After the fire, very little remained of his house.Lesson 291.hovercraft 全垫式气垫船Surface Effect Ships，SES 侧壁式气垫船2.cushion from/against 保护cushion

developments in forms of transport than at any other time in the history of this planet.Because of modern methods of transport,the world has become a smaller place and people cannow travel from one place to another almost anywhere in the world with speed and in comfort.For many people in the world,the best way to travel long distances is by air.Air travel by jet aeroplane is no longer a luxury.Even helicopters,once almost exclusively used by the armed services,are now being used more and more comercially,especially for short internal flights.And we can look forward to rocket tracel in the nest century - or flying in a craft like the space shuttle that will circumnavigate the earth almost in minutes.For those who travel by see,to,there has beeb progress.Ocean liners are popular,especially for luxury holidays,but so too are the hydrofoil and the hovercraft for use over comparatively short distances.On land,we can now travel by car,by coach or by train.The byilding of motormay networks has meant that we can get to our destination by car or coach much faster than we have ever done.And the development of electric trains and new tailway networks has also improved rail travel in many countries.Will these,and motorway networks,become redundant with the development of new forms of transport?Sadly,of all the modern means of transport,the car is creating the most problems as it is causing serious congestion in cities.No satisfactory solution to this problem has yet been found,although,if the car is replaced by a different form of personal transport,perhaps the

explored all the land above sea leval.So it is not surprising that very little of the seabed has been explored.Indeed,the intensive study of the sea and the sea-bed is comparatively recent.And since the sea accounts for a very large percentage of the earth's surface,perhaps we should be spending much more time and more money on studying it in detail.The sea itself is a tremendous source of power.We have only just begun harnessing the tides to provide electricity,but the evergu is there just waiting to be used.The tides and waves contain vast amounts of energy which we must be able to use.The sea is a source of food,too,of couse.Men have taken fish form the sea for thousands of years,but it is only now that plankton is being seen as a source of protein to feed the growing world population.And the whole idea of 'cultivating' the seabed is actively being investigated.As a source of wealth,the sea has already beun to be exploited,but only in the past few years.We can now obtain minerals from the sea,and take fossil fuels from it,as in the North Sea,where oil and gas are both being extracted from under the sea.Following the pioneer work of the French underwater explorer and marine biologist,Jacques Cousteau,perhaps the time will come when we will set up permanent villages under the sea,or even towns and cities that people can live in.If that ever happens,we will certainly be using the sea to its greatst prtential.12.经典分享纪录片《海洋》——Oceans法国导演雅克*贝汉 2009年。

What do oilmen want to achieve as soon as they strike oil? The deepest holes of all are made for oil, and they go down to as much as 25,0000 feet. But we do not need to send men down to get the oil out, as we must with other mineral deposits. The holes are only borings, less than a foot in diameter. My particular experience is largely in oil, and the search for oil has done more to improve deep drilling than any other mining activity. When it has been decided where we are going to drill, we put up at the surface an oil derrick. It has to be tall because it is like a giant block and tackle, and we have to lower into the ground and haul out of the ground great lengths of drill pipe which are rotated by an engine at the top and are fitted with a cutting bit at the bottom. The geologist needs to know what rocks the drill has reached, so every so often a sample is obtained with a coring bit. It cuts a clean cylinder of rock, from which can be seen the strata the drill has been cutting through. Once we get down to the oil, it usually flows to the surface because great pressure, either from gas or water, is pushing it. This pressure must be under control, and we control it by means of the mud which we circulate down the drill pipe. We endeavour to avoid the old, romantic idea of a gusher, which wastes oil and gas. We want it to stay down the hole until we can lead it off in a controlled manner. T.F.GASKELL The Search for the Earth's Minerals from Discovery 【New words and expressions ⽣词和短语】 mineral adj. 矿物的 boring n. 钻孔 derrick n. 井架 block and tackle 滑轮组 haul v. 拖，拉 rotate v. 使转动 cutting bit 钻头 geologist n. 地质学家 coring bit 取芯钻头 cylinder n. 圆柱体 strata n. 岩层[复]([单]stratum或strata [误⽤]) circulate v. 注⼊，环流 gusher n. 喷油井【课⽂注释】 1.they go down to as much as 25,0000 feet，as much as意为“多达”，“达到(量)”。

新概念英语四册课堂笔记：Lesson 13 Thames Waters

新概念英语四册课堂笔记：Lesson 13 ThamesWatersL13 Thames WatersOxford has been ruined by the motor industry. The peace which Oxford once knew, and which a great university city should always have, has been swept ruthlessly away; and no benefactions and research endowments can make up for the change in character which the city has suffered. At six in the morning the old courts shake to the roar of buses taking the next shift to Cowley and Pressed Steel, great lorries with a double deck cargo of cars for export lumber past Magdalen and the University Church. Loads of motor-engines are hurried hither and thither and the streets are thronged with a population which has no interest in learning and knows no studies beyond servo-systems and distributors, compression ratios and camshafts.Theoretically the marriage of an old seat of learning and tradition with a new and wealthy industry might be expected to produce some interesting children. It might have been thought that the culture of the university would radiate out and transform the lives of the workers. That this has not happened may be the fault of the university, for at both Oxford and Cambridge the colleges tend to live in an era which is certainly not of the twentieth century, and upon a planet which bears little resemblance to the war-torn Earth. Wherever the fault may lie the fact remains that it is the theatre at Oxford and not at Cambridge which is on the verge of extinction, and the only fruit of the combination ofindustry and the rarefied atmosphere of learning is the dust in the streets, and a pathetic sense of being lost which hangs over some of the colleges.。

What does the computer industry thrive on apart from anarchy?Technology trends may push Silicon Valley back to the future. Carver Mead, a pioneer in integrated circuits and a professor of computer science at the California Institute of Technology, notes there are now work-stations that enable engineers to design, test and produce chips right on their desks, much the way an editor creates a newsletter on a Macintosh. As the time and cost of making a chip drop to afew days and a few hundred dollars, engineers may soon befree to let their imaginations soar without being penalizedby expensive failures. Mead predicts that inventors will be able to perfect powerful customized chips over a weekend atthe office -- spawning a new generation of garage start-ups and giving the U.S. a jump on its foreign rivals in getting new products to market fast. 'We've got more garages with smart people,' Mead observes. 'We really thrive on anarchy.'And on Asians. Already, orientals and Asian Americans constitute the majority of the engineering staffs at many Valley firms. And Chinese, Korean, Filipino and Indian engineers are graduating in droves from California's colleges.As the heads of next-generation start-ups, these Asian innovators can draw on customs and languages to forge tighter links with crucial Pacific Rim markets. For instance, Alex Au, a Stanford Ph.D. from Hong Kong, has set up a Taiwan factoryto challenge Japan's near lock on the memory-chip market.India-born N.Damodar Reddy's tiny California company reopened an AT & T chip plant in Kansas City last spring withfinancing from the state of Missouri.
