Men and women professors did the same work, but when it came to promotion the administrators were ratherselective. It was ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institution of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight. So she gritted her teeth and complained to the President. The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equity advocate.七、Unit7 Learning about EnglishVocabulary I1. 1) Strictly speaking 2) drifted 3) resembles 4) invaded 5) is conquered 6) fascinating 7) snack 8) put; into practice 9) source 10) climate 11) surrendered 12) were; aroused2. 1) an absolute necessity rather than a luxury. 2) is a valuable addition to the football team. 3) will get out of control, if the firemen do not arrive within ten minutes. 4) Alternative but to go via Vancouver to get to Seattle. 5) Declared all beef imports will be banned for the next six months as an emergency measure to stop the spread of mad disease.3. 1) systematic; have invented; to a very real extent; mysteries 2) to establish; to be modified/modifying 3) tolerance towards; strike out; enrichII.

Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. 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.八、Unit8 Protecting Our Environment下载文档。

1. What kind of people are in favor of carrying on with the cloning science?
And it’s not just Antinori and his team who are eager to go. A religious group called the Raelians believes cloning is the key to achieving immortality, and it, too, claims to have the necessary egg donors and volunteers willing to be implanted with cloned embryos. So what about tougher laws? Implanting cloned human embryos is already illegal in many countries but it will never be prohibited everywhere. In any case, the prohibition of cloning is more likely to drive it underground than stamp it out. Secrecy is already a problem. Antinori and his team are refusing to name the country they’ll be using as their base. Like it or not, the research is going ahead. Sooner or later we are going to have to decide whether regulation is safer than prohibition.

Unit 4 Cultural Encounters课文翻译综合教程二
Unit 4 Cultural Encounters课文翻译综合教程二嗨，伙计们！今天咱们来聊聊文化碰撞这个话题。
你们知道吗，有时候我们和外国人交流的时候，会因为文化差异而产生一些有趣的误会。
比如说，有一次我在餐厅点了一份炒饭，结果服务员给我上了一碗汤。
我当时就愣住了，心想：“这是怎么回事啊？”后来才知道，原来在他们的文化里，炒饭就是汤的意思。
哈哈，这可真是让人哭笑不得啊！不过，这种文化碰撞也让我们学到了很多东西。
比如说，我们可以从外国人的视角看待问题，发现自己的观念可能有些狭隘。
还有呢，我们可以学会尊重不同的文化，这样才能更好地与人相处。
其实，文化碰撞并不仅仅发生在国际交往中。
在我们日常生活中，也经常会遇到各种各样的文化差异。
比如说，有些人喜欢用筷子吃饭，而有些人则习惯用刀叉。
有些人喜欢喝热水，而有些人则喜欢喝冰水。
这些看似微不足道的小事，其实都反映了不同文化的特色。
我们应该如何应对这些文化差异呢？我们要学会尊重。
每个国家都有自己的历史和传统，我们不能因为别人的做法和我们的不一样就嘲笑他们。
我们要学会沟通。
当我们遇到不明白的事情时，不要猜测别人的意图，而是直接问清楚。
我们要保持开放的心态。
只有这样，我们才能真正地了解和接纳不同的文化。
当然啦，文化碰撞也有它的乐趣所在。
比如说，你可能会发现一些非常有趣的习俗。
比如说，在西班牙，人们在庆祝圣诞节的时候会举行一场盛大的游行，人们会打扮成各种奇怪的角色，如猫女、海盗等。
而在日本，人们会在樱花盛开的季节举行“赏花大会”，大家一起欣赏美丽的樱花。
这些活动不仅让我们感受到了不同文化的魅力，还让我们的生活变得更加丰富多彩。
文化碰撞是我们生活中不可避免的一部分。
我们既要学会应对这些差异，也要学会从中寻找乐趣。
只有这样，我们才能在这个多元化的世界里更好地生存和发展。
今天的分享就到这里啦，希望对你们有所启发。
下次再见啦！。
unit2综合教程(4)练习答案与讲解
Unit 2Man and TechnologyTask One Discovering the Main Ideas (P38)1. Answer the following questions with the information contained in Text A.1) No. The survey showed that the majority of Americans did not become happier with the advancement of technology. In fact, the percentage of people who say they are “very happy”has fallen slightly since the early 1970s, even though their income has increased considerably.2) According to Easterlin, money cannot make people happier after a certain point, that is, when people are able to meet the needs for a decent life.3) According to the author, with technological inventions such as linked databases, the Internet and TV, people have less privacy and less time for real-world communication. As a result, they tend to be more lonely and depressed.4) The most important impact of technology on people’s life is in the field of health care. The development of medical technology has greatly increased people’s life expectancy and improved their quality of life. So the vast majority of people are happy to be alive, and the more time they get on earth, the better off they feel they’ll be.5) On the whole, the author cites examples to illustrate that the advances in technology do not necessarily make people happier.Task Two Reading Between the Lines (P39)Read the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicised parts.1. Besides striving for material success, Americans are pursuing an enjoyable life after work. Because of their demand for entertainment, TV and film productions andother enterprises that provide leisure activities have developed into extremely productive and profitable industries.2. People generally believe that the more money one possesses, the happier he /she becomes. However, according to Easterlin, when people become comparatively well off, the increase of money cannot make them happier. Money can satisfy one’s material needs, but cannot buy him/her love, friendship, or family ties that would make him/her emotionally satisfied.3. TV is a typical example to demonstrate how technological inventions isolate people and community from each other. It takes away the time that people would otherwise use ot communicate with each other, especially among family members, and to participate in community activities. People are likely to care more about what happens in the virtual world, while ignoring the feelings and needs of those around them in the real world.4. The original meaning of the joke is that the food may not be so delicious, but we still want to be served as much as possible. “Food” here refers to life, and “portions” refers to life expectancy. The joke here implies that we want to live as long as possible though we may not be leading a happy life.Checking Your Vocabulary (P44)Word Detective1. Find the right definition in Column B for each italicised word in Column A. Put the corresponding letter in the space provided in Column A. The number of the paragraph in which the target word appears is given in brackets. The first one has been done for you.1) b 2) d 3) c 4) a 5) g 6) e 7) f2. Read the following pairs of sentences carefully and then, with the help of adictionary, write down in English the meaning of the italicised word in each sentence. Note that the meaning of the italicised word in Sentence A is similar to that in Text B. The number of the paragraph in which the target word appears is given in brackets..1) (n.) a person who opposes sb. or sth.(n.) a person who takes the opposite side in a game or competition2) (a.) (of opinions) going beyond the usual limits(a.) greatest possible; of the highest degree3) (n.) a person who works a machine(n.) a person who works a telephone switchboard4) (vt.) change (sth.), esp. slightly(vt.) (of a word) describe or limit the meaning of (another word)3. Fill in each blank in the following sentences with a phrase from Text B. Both the meaning and the number of the paragraph in which the target phrase appears are given in brackets.1) take time 2) depending on 3) the other side of the coin 4) compared toChecking Your Comprehension (P46)Complete the following sentences with the information contained in Text B.

With the development of science and technology, people’s standard of living is getting higher and higher. People’s life expectancy has soared, too.However, oddly enough, many people do not feel happier than they used to be. It can be seen that there is no close correlation between people’s income and their happiness. Happiness cannot, after all, be bought with money.Although the majority of people are not very satisfied with their lives, theyare happy to be alive, and the more time they get on earth, the better off they feel they’ll be. What is important is that material wealth is far from enough. People need spiritual happiness, too.Theme-Related Writing (P56)Sample Essay:The Impact of the Mobile Phone on People’s Lives Among the many technological inventions, the mobile phone impresses me most.The mobile phone brings considerable convenience to our lives. It not only enables us to keep in touch with each other almost anytime and anywhere but also helps us solve problems or do business efficiently. In emergencies, a mobile phone can even be a life-saver. Besides, its multi-functions add ease and color to our lives. With a mobile phone, we can receive mail, read news, listen to music, play games, and take pictures.Yet, the mobile phone has its disadvantages, too. Most of us have experienced the nuisance of unwanted or wrong calls. We are inconvenienced by calls on occasions when we least expect one. Besides, the technology infrastructure to support mobile communication has consumed valuable natural resources and caused significant environmental problems. It is reported that electromagnetic radiation waves from the phone may result in health problems.Despite its negative side, the advantages of the mobile phone outweigh its disadvantages. I believe that with advances in science and technology, improved and safer models of mobile phones will surely serve us still better.The End of Unit 2 of Book 4。

• Talk About It
• Write About It
1. What kind of people are in favor of carrying on with the cloning science?
Reference:
Most governments prohibit cloning mainly because it is against nature and causes ethical problems. Besides, the failure rate of cloning is very high.
miracle n. — an unusual and mysterious event that cannot be explained by the laws of nature Examples
• The Great Wall is a miracle of architecture.
• A car ran over the child, but by a miracle, he was unhurt.
But only when the science is ready. And that’s the real problem. Five years on from Dolly, the science of cloning is still stuck in the dark ages. The failure rate is a shocking 97 percent and deformed babies all too common. Even when cloning works, nobody understands why. So forget the complex moral arguments. To begin cloning people now, before even the most basic questions have been answered, is simply a waste of time and energy. This is not to say that Antinori will fail, only that if he succeeds it is likely to be at an unacceptably high price. Hundreds of eggs and embryos will be wasted and lots of women will go through difficult pregnancies resulting in miscarriages or abortions. A few years from now techniques will have improved and the wasteful loss won’t be as excessive. But right now there seems to be little anyone can do to keep the cloners at bay.
