老托Part C精选93篇1Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one communityactivity before they graduate. A new community program called "One On One" helps elementary students who've fallen behind. You education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching—that is, tutoring in math and English. You'd have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a childwith math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a halfhour of each subject two days a week. Professor Dodge will act as a mentorto the tutors—he'll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoringnext week. I'm sure you'll enjoy this community service and you'll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you've had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you'd like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stopby Professor Dodge's office this week.【生词摘录】ponent: n.［C］one of several parts that together make up a wholemachine or system （机器或系统的）零件；成分；组成部分2.tutor: n.［C］someone who teaches one pupil or a small group, and isdirectly paid by them 家庭教师，私人教师 v. to teach someone as a tutor 给,当家庭教师；指导3.mentor: n.［C］an experienced person who advises and helps a lessexperienced person 顾问，指导人，教练12I hope you've all finished reading the assigned chapter on insurance so that you're prepared for our discussion today. But, before we start, I'd like to mentiona few things your text doesn't go into. It's interesting to note that insurance hasexisted in some form for a very long time. The earliest insurance policies were what we called bottomry contracts. They provided shipping protection for merchants as far back as 3000 B.C. In general, the contracts were often no morethan verbal agreements. They granted loans to merchants with the understanding that if a particular shipment of goods was lost at sea, the loan didn't have to be repaid. Interest on the loans varied according to how risky itwas to transport the goods. During periods of heavy piracy at sea, for example,the amount of interest and the cost of the policy went up considerably. So, youcan see how insurance helped encourage international trade. Even the most cautious merchants became willing to risk shipping their goods over long distances, not to mention in hazardous weather conditions when they had this kind of protection available. Generally speaking, the basic form of an insurance policy has been pretty much the same since the Middle Ages. There are four points that were salient then and remain paramount in all policies today. Thesewere outlined in chapter six and will serve as the basis for the rest of today's discussion. Can anyone tell me what one of those points might be?【生词摘录】1.insurance: n.［U］an arrangement with a company in which you pay themmoney each year and they pay the costs if anything bad happens to you, suchas an illness or an accident 保险；the money that you pay regularly to an insurance company 保险费；the business of providing insurance 保险业2.bottomry: n.船舶抵押契约（如船舶损失，则债务取消），冒险借贷3.contract: n.［C］a formal written agreement between two or morepeople,which says what each person must do for the other 契约；合同4.loan: n.［C］an amount of money that you borrow from a bank etc（银行等的）贷款5.understanding: n.［C usually singular］a private, unofficial agreement（私底下、非正式的）协议，协定6.interest: n.［U］a charge made for borrowing money（借贷的）利息［+on］7.piracy: n. the crime of attacking and stealing from ships at sea海上抢劫，海盗行为8.cautious: adj. careful to avoid danger or risks小心的，谨慎的，慎重的9.hazardous: adj.危险的10.s alient: adj.formal the salient points or features of something are themost important or most noticeable parts of it 【正式】显著的，突出的11. paramount: adj. more important than anything else 至高无上的，最重要的3Located at the NASA Research Center in Iowa is a 5,000-gallon vat of water, and inside the tank is an underwater treadmill designed by Dava Newman, an aerospace engineer. For four years Newman observed scuba divers as they simulated walking on the Moon and on Mars on her underwater movingbelt. She wanted to discover how the gravity of the Moon and of Mars wouldaffect human movement. To do this, Newman attached weights to the diversand then lowered them into the tank and onto the treadmill. These weights were carefully adjusted so that the divers could experience underwater the gravity of the Moon and of Mars as they walked on the treadmill. Newman concluded that walking on Mars will probably be easier than walking on the Moon. The Moon has less gravity than Mars does, so at lunar gravity, the divers struggled to keep their balance and walked awkwardly. But at Martian gravity, the divers had greater traction and stability and could easily adjust toa pace of 1.5 miles per hour. As Newman gradually increased the speed of thetreadmill, the divers took longer, graceful strides until they comfortably settled into an even quicker pace. Newman also noted that at Martian gravity,the divers needed less oxygen. The data Newman collected will help in the future design of Martian space suits. Compared to lunar space suits, Martian space suits will require smaller air tanks; and, to allow for freer movement, the elbow and knee areas of the space suits will also be altered.【生词摘录】1.gallon: n.AmE a unit for measuring liquids, equal to 3.785 litres【美】加仑（等于 3.785升）2.vat: n.［C］a very large container for storing liquids such as whisky ordye,when they are being made（酿酒、盛染料用的）大缸，大桶3.tank: n.［C］a large container for storing liquid or gas（盛放液体或气体的）大容器4.treadmill: n.［C］a mill worked in the past by prisoners treading onsteps fixed to a very large wheel（过去用以惩罚犯人的）踏车5.aerospace: adj. involving the designing and building of aircraft and spacevehicles 航空和航天（器制造）的 n.［U］the industry that designs and buildsaircraft and space vehicles 航空和航天工业，航天工业6.scuba diving: n.［U］the sport of swimming under water while breathingthrough a tube connected to a container of air on your back 斯库巴潜泳，水肺潜泳（戴自携式潜水呼吸器潜泳）7.simulate: v. to make or produce something that is not real but has theappearance of being real 模仿，模拟8.Martian: adj. of or relating to the planet Mars火星的9.stride: n.［C］a long step大步，阔步10. elbow: n. ［C］the joint where your arms bends 肘Welcome to Everglades National Park. The Everglades is a watery plain coveredwith saw grass that's home to numerous species of plants and wildlife. At one and a half million acres, it's too big to see it all today, but this tour will offer youa good sampling. Our tour bus will stop first at Taylor Slough. This is a good place to start because it's home to many of the plants and animals typically associated with the Everglades. You'll see many exotic birds and, of course, ourworld famous alligators. Don't worry, there's a boardwalk that goes across the marsh, so you can look down at the animals in the water from a safe distance. The boardwalk is high enough to give you a great view of the saw grass prairie. From there we'll head to some other marshy and even jungle like areas that feature wonderful tropical plant life. For those of you who'd like a closer view ofthe saw grass prairie, you might consider renting a canoe sometime during yourvisit here. However, don't do this unless you have a very good sense of directionand can negotiate your way through tall grass. We'd hate to have to come looking for you. You have the good fortune of being here in the winter—the best time of year to visit. During the spring and summer, the mosquitoes will just about eat you alive! Right now they're not so bothersome,but you'll still want touse an insect repellent.【生词摘录】1.Everglades National Park:大沼泽地国家公园2.saw grass:克拉莎草；加州砖子苗3.acre: n.［C］a unit for measuring area, equal to 4,047 square metres英亩4.sampling: n. items selected at random from a population and used totest hypotheses about the population 取样，抽样，采样5.exotic: adj.approving seeming unusual and exciting because of beingconnected with a foreign country 【褒义】异国风情的，外国情调的：exotic birds外国的奇异鸟类6.alligator: n.［C］a large animal with a long mouth and sharp teeth thatlies in the hot wet parts of the US and China 短吻鳄7.boardwalk: n.［C］AmE a raised path made of wood, usually built nextto the sea【美】（常在海滨）用木板铺成的小道8.prairie: n.［C］a wide open area of land in North America which iscovered in grass or wheat（北美洲的）大草原9.canoe: n.［C］a long light boat that is pointed at both ends and whichyou move along using a paddle 独木舟，小划子10.n egotiate: v. <口>成功通过，顺利越过11.m osquito: n.［C］a small flying insect that sucks the blood of peopleand animals 蚊子12.r epellent: n.［C,U］a substance that keeps insects away驱虫剂Thank you. It's great to see so many of you interested in this series on "Survivalin Outer Space." Please excuse the cameras; we're being videotaped for the local TV stations. Tonight I'm going to talk about the most basic aspect of survival—the space suit. When most of you imagine an astronaut, that's probablythe first thing that comes to mind, right? Well, without space suits, it would notbe possible for us to survive in space. For example, outer space is a vacuum—there's no gravity or air pressure; without protection, a body would explode. What's more, we'd cook in the sun or freeze in the shade with temperatures ranging from a toasty300 degrees above to a cool 300 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. The space suit that NASA has developed is truly a marvel. This photo enlargement here is a life-size image of an actual space suit worn by astronauts on the last space shuttle mission. This part is the torso. It’s made of seven extremely durable layers. This thick insulation protects against temperature extremes and radiation. Next is what they call a "bladder" of oxygen that's an inflatable sac, filled with oxygen, to simulate atmospheric pressure. This bladder presses against the body with the same force as the Earth's atmosphere at sea level. The innermost layers provide liquid cooling and ventilation. Despite all the layers, the suit is flexible, allowing free movement sowe can work. Another really sophisticated part of the space suit is the helmet. I brought one along to show you. Can I have a volunteer come and demonstrate?【生词摘录】1.videotape: v. to record a television programme, film etc on a videotape把（电视节目、电影等）录在录像（磁）带上2.vacuum: n.［C］a space that is completely empty of all gas, especiallyone from which all the air has been taken away 真空3.shade: n.［U］slight darkness or shelter from the direct light of the sunmade by something blocking it 荫，背阴处4.toasty: adj.AmE informal warm and comfortable【美，非正式】暖烘烘的，温暖舒适的5.Fahrenheit: n.［U］a scale of temperature in which water freezes at 32°and boils at 212°华氏温度6.marvel: n.［C］something or someone surprisingly useful or skillful, thatyou like and admire very much 十分有用（灵巧）的物（人）7.enlargement: n.［C］a photograph that has been printed again in alarger size 放大的照片8.life-size:又作life-sized，adj. a picture or model of something or someonethat is life-size is the same size as they are in real life 与实物（真人）大小一样的9.shuttle: n.［C］a spacecraft that can fly into space and return to Earth,and can be used more than once （可以多次使用的）航天飞机，太空穿梭机10.m ission: n.［C］an important job done by a member of the airforce,army etc, especially an attack on the enemy 任务，使命11.t orso: n.［C］your body, not including your head, arms, or legs（头和四肢除外的）人体躯干12.durable: adj. staying in good condition for a long time even if used a lot耐用的13.i nsulation: n.［U］material used to insulate something, especially abuilding（尤指建筑物的）绝缘材料；the act of insulating something or the state of being insulated 隔绝14.e xtreme: n.［C］something that goes beyond normal limits, so that itseems very unusual and unacceptable 极端15.b ladder: n.［C］a bag of skin, leather, or rubber, for example inside afootball, that can be filled with air or liquid （可充气或充水的）囊；袋16.i nflatable: adj. an inflatable object has to be filled with air before you canuse it 须充气方可使用的，（需）充气的17.s ac: n.technical a part inside a plant or animal that is shaped like a bagand contains liquid or air 【术语】（动物或植物的）囊；液囊18.i nnermost: adj.formal furthest inside【正式】最里面的19.v entilation: n.［U］通风（ventilate: v. to let fresh air into a room,building etc 使通风）20.h elmet: n.［C］a strong hard hat worn for protection by soldiers,motorcycle riders, the police etc 头盔，钢盔，安全帽21.demonstrate: v. to show or prove something clearly证明，论证，证实；toshow or describe how something works or is done 示范，演示；to march through the streets with a large group of people in order to publicly protest about something （为公开抗议某事）游行，示威；to show that you have a particular skill, quality, or ability 展示，表露出（某种技能、品质或能力）6Good evening. My name is Pam Jones, and on behalf of the Modern Dance club,I'd like to welcome you to tonight's program. The club is pleased to present the TV version of The Catherine Wheel, Twyla Tharp's rock ballet. This video versionof the ballet has been even more successful with audiences than the original theater production. It includes some animation, slow motion, and stop-action freezes that really help the audience understand the dance. The title of the piecerefers to Saint Catherine, who died on a wheel in 307 A.D. Nowadays, a Catherine wheel is also a kind of firework. It looks something like a pinwheel. Anyway, the dance is certainly full of fireworks! You'll see how Twyla Tharp explores one family's attempt to confront the violence in modern life. The centralsymbol of the work is a pineapple, but exactly what it represents has always created a lot of controversy. As you watch, see if you can figure it out. The music for this piece is full of the rhythmic energy of rock music. It was composed by David Byrne. Of the rock band Talking Heads? And the lead dancerin this version was Sara Rudner, who is perfectly suited to Tharp's adventurous choreography. Following the video, dance teacher Mary Parker will lead a discussion about the symbolism Ms. Tharp used. We hope you can stay for that.So, enjoy tonight's video and thank you for your support.【生词摘录】1.present: v. to give a performance in a theatre, cinema, etc, or broadcast aprogramme on television or radio 上演；演出；表演；播出（电视或广播节目）2.ballet: n.［C］a performance in which a special style of dancing andmusic tell a story without any speaking 芭蕾舞剧；芭蕾舞曲3.animation: n.［U］the process of making animated films动物片的制作4.wheel: n.［C］one of the round things under a car, bus, bicycle etc thatturn when it moves （汽车、公共汽车、自行车等的）车轮5.firework: n.［C usually plural］a small container filled with powder thatburns or explodes to produce coloured lights, noise, and smoke 烟火，烟花，焰火6.pinwheel: n.［C］a toy consisting of a stick with curved pieces of plasticat the end that turn around when they are blown 玩具风车（windmill, BrE）7.pineapple: n.［C,U］a large yellow-brown tropical fruit or its sweet juicyyellow flesh 菠萝，凤梨8.controversy: n.［C,U］a serious argument or disagreement, especially aboutsomething such as a plan or decision, that continues for a long time 争论；辩论；争议9.rhythmic:又作rhythmical, adj. having rhythm有节奏的10.a dventurous: adj.又作adventuresome,AmE【美】eager to go to newplaces and do exciting or dangerous things 喜欢冒险的，有冒险精神的；not afraid of taking risks or trying new things 敢作敢为的，大胆创新的11.choreography: n.［U］the art of arranging how dancers should move during8a performance 编舞（艺术）；舞蹈设计12.s ymbolism: n.［U］the use of symbols to represent something象征主义（手法）9In our lab today, we'll be testing the hypothesis that babies can count as early as five months of age. The six babies here are all less than six monthsold. You'll be watching them on closed circuit TV and measuring their responses. The experiment is based on the well-established observation that babies stare longer if they don't see what they expect to see. First, we'regoing to let two dolls move slowly in front of the babies. The babies will seethe two dolls disappear behind a screen. Your job is to record, in seconds, how long the babies stare at the dolls when the screen is removed. In the next stage, two dolls will again move in front of the babies and disappear. Butthen a third doll will follow. When the screen is removed, the babies will onlysee two dolls. If we're right, the babies will now stare longer because they expect three dolls but only see two. It seems remarkable to think that suchyoung children can count. My own research has convinced me that they havethis ability from birth. But whether they do or not, perhaps we should raise another question. Should we take advantage of this ability by teaching children mathematics at such a young age? They have great untapped potential, but is it good for parents to pressure young children?【生词摘录】1.hypothesis: n.plural hypotheses,［C］an idea that is suggested as apossible way of explaining a situation, proving an idea etc, which has notyet been shown to be true 假设，假说2.closed circuit television (TV): a system in which cameras send picturesto television sets that is used in many public buildings to protect them from crime 闭路电视3.well-established: adj. established for a long time and respected历史悠久且享有盛誉的4.untapped: adj. an untapped resource, market etc has not yet been used（资源、市场等）未开发的；未利用的10Before starting our tour of Monticello, I'd like to give you some historical factsthat might help you appreciate what you see today even more. Monticello wasthe very much loved home of Thomas Jefferson for over fifty years. Jefferson, who was, of course, President, was also a great reader and language enthusiast. He read widely on different subjects, including architecture. He wasn't formally trained in architecture, but as a result of his study and observation of other buildings, he was able to help design and build the house. He chose the site himself, naming the estate "Monticello," which means "little mountain" in Italian.In fact, many of the ideas behind the design also came from the Italian architectAndrea Palladio, who lived in the sixteenth century and who had a great influenceon the architecture of England. Jefferson, however, ignored one of Palladio's principles, that is, not to build in a high place. Monticello's elevation made the transportation of what was needed at the house—for example, food—especially difficult. But the view from the estate would not be as spectacular if Jefferson had followed Palladio's advice; there really is no boundary between the house andthe nature around it, and so Jefferson was able to look out on his beloved state ofVirginia from his wonderful vantage point. Now we'll go on to Jefferson's library.【生词摘录】1.Monticello:蒙提切娄2.appreciate: v. to understand how good or useful someone or something is欣赏，赏识，鉴赏3.enthusiast: n.［C］someone who is very interested in a particularactivity or subject 热衷于,的人4.estate: n.［C］a large area of land in the country, usually with one largehouse on it and one owner （在乡村附有宅地的）一大片私有土地，庄园5.elevation: n.［singular］a height above the level of the sea海拔6.spectacular: adj. very impressive and exciting壮观的，精彩的，引人注目的7.vantage point: a good position from which you can see something（能观察某物的）有利位置11Now that we've all introduced ourselves to the new members, let's get downto work. As the committee in charge of this year's tree-planting project, we have several items on our agenda. First, we have to review the budget. Thepresident has informed me that the trustees have set aside $3,000 for the purchase of trees and our environmental T-shirt sale netted a profit of $1,500. Second, we have to finalize the choice of trees. As you know, we'reworking with Richardson's Nursery again this year since everyone seemed pleased with the work he did for us last year. Mr. Richardson has presentedus with several choices within our price range that he thinks would meet ourneeds. He's sent us pictures of the trees for us to look at, but he wanted meto tell you that we're welcome to visit the nursery if we want to see the trees themselves. Lastly, we need to plan some kind of ceremony to commemoratethe planting. Several ideas, including a garden party of some sort, have beensuggested. So let's get on with it and turn to the first order of business.【生词摘录】1.item: n.［C］a single thing, especially part of a list, group, or set（尤指清单上、一群或一组事物中的）一项；一件；一条2.trustee: n.［C］a member of a group that controls the money of acompany,college, or other organization（公司、学院等的）理事，董事会成员: v.especially AmE to earn a particular amount of money as a profitafter tax has been paid 【尤美】获得净收入，净赚4.finalize: v. to finish the last part of a plan, business deal etc使（计划、交易等）确定，最后定下5.nursery: n.［C］a place where plants and trees are grown and sold苗圃（garden center,BrE）12Welcome to the Four Winds Historical Farm, where traditions of the past are preserved for visitors like you. Today, our master thatchers will begin giving thisbarn behind me a sturdy thatched roof, able to withstand heavy winds and lastup to a hundred years. How do they do it? Well, in a nutshell, thatching involves covering the beams or rafters, the wooden skeleton of a roof with reeds or straw. Our thatchers here have harvested their own natural materials for the job, the bundles of water reeds you see lying over there beside the barn. Thatching iscertainly uncommon in the Untied States today. I guess that's why so many of you have come to see this demonstration. But it wasn't always that way. In theseventeenth century, the colonists here thatched their roofs with reeds and straw, just as they had done in England. After a while, though, they began to replace the thatch with wooden shingles because wood was so plentiful. And eventually, other roofing materials like stone, slate, and clay tiles came into use.It's a real shame that most people today don't realize how strong and long lastinga thatched roof is. In Ireland, where thatching is still practiced, the roofs can survive winds of up to one hundred ten miles per hour. That's because straw andreeds are so flexible. They bend but don't break in the wind like other materialscan. Another advantage is that the roofs keep the house cool in the summer andwarm in the winter. And then, of course, there's the roofs' longevity—the average is sixty years, but they can last up to a hundred. With all these reasonsto start thatching roofs again, wouldn't it be wonderful to see this disappearing craft return to popularity?【生词摘录】1.thatcher: n.［C］someone skilled in making a roof from plant stalks orfoliage 盖屋顶者2.barn: n.［C］a large farm building for storing crops, or for keepinganimals in 谷仓，粮秣房，仓库，牲口棚；informal a large, plain building 【非正式】空荡荡的大房子3.withstand: v. to be strong enough to remain unharmed by something such asgreat heat or cold, great pressure etc 耐得住，承受住（酷热、严寒、高压等）4.in a nutshell:spoken used when you are stating the main facts aboutsomething in a short, clear way 【口】一言以蔽之，简括地说，用一句话概括5.beam: n.［C］a long heavy piece of wood or metal used in buildinghouses,bridges etc 梁，横梁6.rafter: n.［C usually plural］one of the large sloping pieces of wood thatform the structure of a roof 椽7.skeleton: n.［C］the most important parts of something, to which moredetail can be added later 骨架，框架；梗概，纲要8.reed: n.［C］a type of tall plant like grass that grows in wet places芦苇9.straw: n.［U］the dried stems of wheat or similar plants that are used foranimals to sleep on, and for making things such as baskets, mats etc 秸秆（如麦秆等）10.c olonist: n.［C］someone who settles in a new colony开拓殖民地的居民，拓殖者11.s hingle: n.［C］one of many small thin pieces of building materials,especially wood, used to cover a roof or wall（覆盖屋顶或墙用的）木瓦；屋面板；墙面板12.slate: n.［U］a dark grey rock that can easily be split into flat thin pieces板岩，板石13.clay: n.［U］heavy sticky soil that can be used for making pots, bricks etc黏土14.t ile: n.［C］a flat square piece of baked clay or other material, used forcovering roofs, floors etc（屋顶、地板等上用的）瓷砖，地砖15.l ongevity: n.［U］formal long life【正式】长寿；technical the length of aperson or anima l’s life【术语】（人或动物的）寿命A lot of people in the United States are coffee drinkers. Over the last few years, a trend has been developing to introduce premium, specially blended coffees, known as "gourmet coffees" into the American market. Boston seems to have been the birthplace of this trend. In fact, major gourmet coffee merchants from other cities like Seattle and San Francisco came to Boston, where today they're engaged in a kind of "coffee war" with Boston'smerchants. They are all competing for a significant share of the gourmet coffee market. Surprisingly, the competition among these leading gourmet coffee businesses will not hurt any of them. Experts predict that the gourmetcoffee market in the United States is growing and will continue to grow, to thepoint that gourmet coffee will soon capture half of what is now a 1.5-million-dollar market and will be an 8-million-dollar market by 1999. Studies have shown that coffee drinkers who convert to gourmet coffee seldom go back tothe regular brands found in supermarkets. As a result, these brands will be the real losers in the gourmet coffee competition.【生词摘录】1.premium: adj. of high quality高级的，优质的2.blended: adj. combined or mixed together so that the constituent partsare indistinguishable 混合的3.gourmet: n.［C］someone who knows a lot about food and wine andwho enjoys good food and wine 美食家4.birthplace: n.［C usually singular］the place where someone was born,especially someone famous （尤指名人的）出生地；the place where something first started to happen or exist 发源地，发祥地15You may remember that a few weeks ago we discussed the question of whatphotography is. Is it art, or is it a method of reproducing images? Do photographs belong in museums or just in our homes? Today I want to talk about a person who tried to make his professional life an answer to such questions. Alfred Stieglitz went from the United States to Germany to study engineering. While he was there, he became interested in photography and began to experiment with his camera. He took pictures under conditions thatmost photographers considered too difficult. He took them at night, in the rain,and of people and objects reflected in windows. When he returned to the United States he continued these revolutionary efforts. Stieglitz was the first person to photograph skyscrapers, clouds, and views from an airplane. WhatStieglitz was trying to do in these photographs was what he tried to do throughout his life: make photography an art. He felt that photography couldbe just as good a form of self-expression as painting or drawing. For Stieglitz,his camera was his brush. While many photographers of the late 1800's and early 1900's thought of their work as a reproduction of identical images, Stieglitz saw his as a creative art form. He understood the power of the camera to capture the moment. In fact, he never retouched his prints or made copies of them. If he were in this classroom today, I'm sure he'd say, "Well, painters don't normally make extra copies of their paintings, do they?"【生词摘录】1.experiment: v. to try various ideas, methods etc to see whether they willwork or what effect they will have 试验；试用2.skyscraper: n.［C］a very tall modern city building摩天大楼3.identical: adj. exactly the same完全相同的［+to］4.capture: v. to succeed in showing or describing a situation or feelingusing words or pictures（用语言或图片）记录下5.retouch: v. to improve a picture or photograph by painting over marks ormaking other small changes 描绘，润色（图画、照片）16。

2I hope you've all finished reading the assigned chapter on insurance so that you're prepared for our discussion today.我希望你们都已经读完了保险上的指定章节，所以你们已经准备好了咱们今天的讨论。
But, before we start, I'd like to mention a few things your text doesn't go into.但是，在我们开始之前，我想提及一些你们课本上没有探究的事It's interesting to note that insurance has existed in some form for a very long time.值得注意的是，保险已经以某种形式存在了很长一段时间The earliest insurance policies were what we are called bottomry（use boats as mortgage）contracts.最早的保险契约被我们称作压船借款合同They provided shipping protection for merchants as far back as 3000 B.C. 他们早在公元前3000年就为商人提供了海运保护In general, the contracts were often no more than verbal agreements.一般来说，这些合同通常也不过是口头协议They granted loans to merchants with the understanding that if a particular shipment of goods was lost at sea, the loan didn't have to be repaid.他们发放贷款给商人，带着这样的谅解：如果一船特定的货物损失在海上，贷款不必偿还。

The term “fossil fuel" refers to the trapped remains of plants and animals in sedimentary rock.术语“化石燃料”指的是植物和动物困在沉积岩中的遗骸。
You see, living plants trap energy from the sun by the process of photosynthesis, and they store the energy in their chemical compounds.你看，活着的植物通过光合作用从太阳截留能量，并且它们储存这些能量于它们的化合物中Most of that energy is released when the plant dies and decays.大多数那种能量在植物死亡和腐烂的时候被释放了However, sometimes organic matter is buried before it decays completely.然而，有时候有机物质在它完全腐烂之前被埋藏了。
In this way some of the solar energy becomes trapped inrocks, hence the name fossil fuel.通过这种方法太阳能的一部分变成了被困在岩石中(太阳能的一部分被固定或保留在岩石中)，因此得名化石燃料。
Although the amount of organic matter trapped in any one growing season is small, the accumulated remains from millions of years are considerable.虽然在任何生长季被困住(保留)的有机物质的数量很小，但是从上百万年积累下来的残骸是很可观的。

托福听写作业7听写稿：（将听写稿复制到下面）正确原文：Last week, you recall, we discussed the early development of railroads in the United States. Today I want to mention an even earlier form of transportation, one that brought the first European settlers to America. And that's the wooden sailing ship. From colonial times, sailing ships were vital to the economy. Many coastal towns depended on fishing or whaling for employment and income. This was especially true in the northeastern states. And there the wood from nearby forests and the skills of local designers and workers also formed the basis of an important shipbuilding industry. But the big profits were to be made on trade with faraway places. And since sea captains often became part of owners of their ships, they had a strong interest in the commercial success of their voyages. So these Yankees, that's what US sailors and officers came to be called, they carried on a very profitable trade with other parts of the world. The high point of this trade came in the mid-19th century with the introduction of the clipper ship, the enormous Yankee clippers with huge sails reaching nearly two hundred feet into the sky. He'd carry passengers and cargo from New York around South America to San Francisco in less than three months and clear to China in just half a year. At that time this seemed unbelievably fast and efficient. But in the 1860s, more reliable steam-powered ships began to take over. And soon the important role of sailing ships in the US economy would come to an end.生词摘录：1.transportation: n. 运输2.settler: n. 移居者3.colonial times: 殖民时代4.vital: adj. 至关重要的5.whaling: n. 捕鲸（业）6.shipbuilding: n. 造船7.faraway: adj. 遥远的8.voyage: n. 航行9.Yankee: n. 美国北部各州的人，北方佬10.c lipper: n. 快速帆船11.e normous: adj. 巨大的，庞大的12.p assenger: n. 乘客13.c argo: n. 船货，货物14.S an Francisco: 旧金山15.r eliable: adj. 可靠的16.s team-powered: adj. 蒸汽驱动的17.c oastal adj临海的，沿海的。

1Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called "One On One" helps elementary students who've fallen behind. You education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching—that is, tutoring in math and English. You'd have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week. Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors—he'll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. I'm sure you'll enjoy this community service and you'll gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you've had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you'd like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge's office this week.社会服务是我们学校教育的一个非常重要组成部分。

英文地址翻译、转折词
英文地址翻译、转折词英文地址翻译、转折词在中篇一：在英文中地址如何翻译在英文中地址如何翻译翻译原则：先小后大。
中国人喜欢先说大的后说小的，如**区**路**号而外国人喜欢先说小的后说大的，如**号**路**区，因此您在翻译时就应该先写小的后写大的。
例如：中国山东省青岛市四方区洛阳路34号3号楼4单元402户，您就要从房开始写起，Room402,Unit4,Building3,No.34.LuoyangRoad,sifangDistrict,Qin gdaoCity,ShandongProv,China（逗号后面有空格）。
注意其中路名、公司名、村名等均不用翻译成同意的英文，只要照写拼音就行了。
因为您的支票是中国的邮递员送过来，关键是要他们明白。
技术大厦您写成T echnologyBuilding，他们可能更迷糊呢。
现在每个城市的中国邮政信件分拣中心都有专人负责将外国来信地址翻译成中文地址,并写在信封上交下面邮递员送过来.重要:你的邮政编码一定要写正确,因为外国信件中间的几道邮政环节都是*邮政编码区域投递的。
常见中英文对照***室/房Room******村***Vallage***号No.******号宿舍***Dormitory***楼/层***/F***住宅区/小区***ResidentialQuater甲/乙/丙/丁A/B/C/D***巷/弄Lane******单元Unit******号楼/栋***Building***公司***Com.***Crop***LTD.CO***厂***Factory***酒楼/酒店***Hotel***路***Road***花园***Garden***街***Street***信箱Mailbox******区***District***县***County***镇***Town***市***City***省***Prov.***院***Yard***大学***College**表示序数词，比如1st、2nd、3rd、4th……如果不会，就用No.***代替，或者直接填数字吧！另外有一些***里之类难翻译的东西，就直接写拼音***Li。

老托福听力PartC原文1Today were going to talk about shyness and discuss recent research on ways to help children learn to interact socially.今日我们将谈论一下羞怯，并且争论一下最近在关心孩子们学习社会交往。
Many people consider themselves shy.很多人认为他们自己大方。
In fact, forty percent of people who took part in our survey said they were shy.事实上，参与我们调查的百分之四十的人说他们自己大方。
That’s two out of every five people.这是五分之二的人。
And there are studies to indicate that the tendency toward shyness may be inherited.并且有讨论指出大方的倾向或许是遗传的。
But just because certain children are timid, doesnt mean they are doomed to be shy forever.但仅仅由于某些孩子是羞怯的，并不意味着他们注定了要永久大方。
There are things parents, teachers, and the children themselves can do to overcome this tendency and even to prevent it.有些事情家长，老师，以及孩子们自己能做，来克服这种倾向甚至能避开这事。
One researcher found that if parents gently push their shy children to try new things, they can help these children become less afraid and less inhibited.一个讨论员发觉父母们严厉的推动他们的大方孩子去尝试新事物，他们能关心那些孩子变得少些恐惊和少些羞怯。

Now, most of these prehistoric desert people moved across the countryside throughout the year.现在(语气词)，大多数那些史前的沙漠人类一年四季穿行在乡下You might think that they were wandering aimlessly-far from it!你能会认为他们在漫无目的的游荡--远非如此。
They actually followed a series of carefully planned moves.他们事实上遵从着一系列详细计划的迁移。
Where they moved depended on where food was available-places where plants were ripening or fish were spawning.他们迁移到什么地方取决于什么地方能得到食物--植物在成熟或者鱼在产卵的地方。
Now often when these people moved, they carried all their possessions on their backs, but if the journey was long, extra food and tools were sometimes stored in caves or beneath rocks.经常当那些人搬迁时，他们在他们背上携带者他们所有的财产，但如果行程太长，多余的食物和工具有时会保存在山洞里或者岩石下One of these caves is now an exciting archaeological site.那些洞穴之一，现在是一个令人激动的考古遗迹。

Welcome to the Four Winds Historical Farm, where traditions of the past are preserved for visitors like you.
欢迎来到Four Winds历史农场，在这里过去的传统为你们这样的游客保留了下来。
Today, our master thatchers will begin giving this barn behind me a sturdy thatched roof, able to withstand heavy winds and last up to a hundred years.
今天，我们的茅屋匠大师将开始给予我身后的谷仓一个结实的茅草屋顶，能够抵挡大风并且维持上百年。
How do they do it? Well, in a nutshell, thatching involves covering the beams or rafters, the wooden skeleton of a roof with reeds or straw.
他们是怎么做到的呢？好，简而言之，用茅草覆盖屋顶包括用芦苇和稻草覆盖大梁和椽木，屋顶的木制骨架。
Our thatchers here have harvested their own natural materials for the job, the bundles of water reeds you see lying over there beside the barn.
我们这儿的茅屋匠们已经为这项工作收割了他们自己的天然材料，你们看见横放在那边谷仓旁的一束束的水芦了吧
Thatching is certainly uncommon in the Untied States today.
用茅草盖屋顶在今天的美国确实不太常见了
I guess that's why so many of you have come to see this demonstration. 我猜这也是为什么你们那么多人过来看这个演示。
But it wasn't always that way.
当并不总是这样。
In the seventeenth century, the colonists here thatched their roofs with reeds and straw, just as they had done in England.
在十七世纪，殖民者用芦苇和稻草覆盖他们的屋顶，就像他们在英国做的那样。
After a while, though, they began to replace the thatch with wooden shingles because wood was so plentiful.
然而，过了一阵子，他们开始使用木板瓦来代替茅草屋顶因为木材是如此充足。
And eventually, other roofing materials like stone, slate, and clay tiles came into use.
并且最终，其他屋顶材料如石头，石板，还有陶土瓦开始被使用了。
It's a real shame that most people today don't realize how strong and long lasting a thatched roof is.
真是很遗憾，今天大多数的人没有认识到一个茅草屋顶是多么结实和持久耐用。
In Ireland, where thatching is still practiced, the roofs can survive winds of up to one hundred ten miles per hour.
在爱尔兰，那里茅草屋顶依然被使用着，这种屋顶更够幸存于高达每小时一百一十英里的风速。
That's because straw and reeds are so flexible.
那是因为稻草和芦苇是这么的柔韧
They bend but don't break in the wind like other materials can.
他们在风中弯曲却不会像其他材料那样能断裂
Another advantage is that the roofs keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
另一个优势是这种屋顶保持了房子在夏天凉爽，并且在冬天温暖（冬暖夏凉）
And then, of course, there's the roofs' longevity—the average is sixty years, but they can last up to a hundred.
而且，当然了，还有屋顶的长寿命--平均是六十年，但他们能维持到一百年。
With all these reasons to start thatching roofs again, wouldn't it be wonderful to see this disappearing craft return to popularity?
带着所有这些理由去重新开始用茅草盖屋顶，难道看见这种正在消失中的工艺回归流行不是很美妙吗？。
