In the cooperative, everyone buys a share of an apartment building. If a low-earning requirement is met, the buys can get a low-interest loan from the government.2) During the day, heat from sunlight is collected through windows on the south side of the house. At night, the windows are covered, and the collected warmth heats the home.【原文】In recent years, there have been important social and economic changes in the United States. And, these changes have affected almost all of America’s housing system, from home building to home buying.First of all, American families are growing smaller. People today are having fewer children, or choosing not to have children at all. Many people are marrying later in life. And, about 40 percent of all American marriages end in divorce.All this means that many Americans now want smaller houses. And, a larger percentage are buying apartments.This has created a shortage of rental housing in many parts of the country. It has caused special difficulties for those who are old or poor, and do not have the money to buy a place of their own.Some people are solving this problem by forming cooperatives. In a cooperative, everyone in an apartment building joins together and buys a share of the building. If 20 percent of those living in the cooperative have low earnings, then the group can get a low-interest loan from the government. If people want to sell their share in the cooperative, they cannot receive more than they paid for it. This helps keep the cost of cooperatives low.Recent concern over the cost of energy also has brought changes in American housing. Some people are moving back to the cities, to save the cost of driving long distances to work. And, many Americans have begun to seek homes that cost less to heat and light. Some homes are being built underground. They cost almost nothing to heat, because the temperature of the earth changes very little as the seasons change.Other new houses get their energy from the sun. During the day, heat from sunlight is collected through windows on the south side of the house. At night, the windows are covered, and the collected warmth heats the home.Recently, the American economy has also had a major effect on American housing. Inflation has pushed the cost of homes higher and higher. And, interest rates have become very high. Buyers now must pay as much as 18 percent interest for housing loans.Americans with just moderate earnings now find it very difficult to make monthly payments on new home. In the last few months, even apartments have grown too costly for most people to buy.T ask 9【答案】A.1) Debate on Radio Time.2) Four guests are in the studio. James and Alice are from Sheffield; David and Louise are from a small village in Y orkshire.3) The topic is how living in town compares with living in the country.【原文】Mike: Hello everyone, and welcome to this month’s edition of Debate on Radio Time, the programme for students of English round the world. With me in the studio today I have four guests, James and Alice from Sheffield, and David and Louise from a small village in Y orkshire. How does living in a town compare with living in the country? What do they all think? Let’s start with you, James.James: Living in a town like Sheffield is wonderful. There is so much to do. My parents often go to the theatre or the cinema. I belong to a youth club and go to lots of discos. There’s a good swimming pool at the Sports Centre and a large library. Public transport is good, so it’s easy to get from one place to another. I live very near my school, so I can walk there, and it’s easy to visit my friends.Mike: So you’re very happy. What about you, Alice?Alice: Well, James is right in many ways. But I don’t like living in town. It’s very noisy with all the traffic, and rather dirty. I like going for long walks in the fresh air, but we’ve only got parks. I cycle to school to get some exercise but it’s rather dangerous, and car drivers shout at you. I don’t really like discos or cinemas. I like open fields and a peaceful life. Mike: So you’re a country girl at heart? Do you ag ree with her, David?David: Y es, I do. Y ou’re closer to nature in the country and it’s much quieter. Y ou can watch the plants and animals change with the seasons, and there’s more room to play out of doors.And people are more friendly. They seem to have more time, so they stop and talk to you.There’s less traffic too, so the air stays fresh.Mike: Do you agree with David, Louise?Louise: Not really. I think life in the country is very dull. It’s too quiet. And you can’t really play anywhere because the fields are full of crops and animals. There is less traffic, but people drive very fast on country roads, so they are quite dangerous. I don’t like animals. The nearest youth club is ten miles away. The worst thing is that I have to get up very early.Public transport is very bad in the country, so I have to catch a special school bus from the other end of the village. All my school friends live in different villages, and it’s difficult to see them out of school. Life’s much better in town.Mike: Well, w e don’t agree. Two for and two against. Well, where is it best to live? Can you think of any more points? Have a debate in your class and take a vote. Now it’s goodbye from James, Alice, David and Louise.All: Goodbye, everybody.Mike: Thank you for joining us and until next Radio Time. Goodbye from me.T ask 10【答案】Well, I think I’d prefer to live in a village because ... well, I think the people there are friendly and there is a lot of fresh air. I think life generally is healthier in a village and I like being close to nature. And it’s very important for my work as a writer to have peace and quiet.Well, I’d prefer to live in a city because there’s more going on. Er ... being an actress, I need to go to the cinema and the theatre and there’s far more entertainment in the city than there is in the country, Of course. I also like it because ... um ... people are more open-minded. Peopledon’t ... um ... mind what you do in the city. And for the shopping as well, I mean, I love going to the village shops, but the stores and shops in London can’t compare with anything.Y es, well, I prefer living in a village. It’s safer than a city and there’s less crime and of course there’s less traffic, so it’s much more pleasant. Then, it’s much cheaper than the city. There are…you know, rents are cheaper and so of course are house prices. It’s quiet, it’s…it’s peaceful. Y es, I much prefer living in a village.Y es you. Think of the children Roger. It seems to me that you’re so…so carried away with the idea…that you’re going to…the idea of buying a house at long last that…well…your personal likes and dislikes are…are making you anything but practical. Alex for example. He’ll be going to secondary school next year. And as far as I’m concerned the nearer the school the better. Have you read the description of your beautiful village house? Where is it? Y es, here we are. “Local primary school within walking distance” it says. That of course means that the nearest secondary school will be in Colchester.T ask 11【答案】to, are, of, is, in, for, to, to, of, or, of, to【原文】Is it better to rent furniture or to buy your own home furnishings? Today, many young people are renting instead of buying, and furniture rental is one of the fastest-growing businesses in the United States. The reason for this trend is quite simple. People prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture that they really like instead of buying used or cheap furniture. Renting has another advantage too. It saves people the cost of moving their furniture to other parts of the country when they relocate.T ask 12【答案】For many years, owning a home has been an important part of the American dream. Since the end of World War II, that dream has come true for a growing number of Americans. Just before the war, less than half of all families in the United States owned their own homes. Toda, about 65 percent do.Americans also are living in newer homes than at any other time in American history. The average home today is about 23 years old.Many of these new houses are in suburban areas, just outside America’s cities. About 30 years ago, builders started putting up houses in these areas by the hundreds, and sold them as quickly as they could build them. Today, 35 percent of all Americans live in suburban housing areas that did no exist 30 years ago. The remaining 65 are divided about equally, between cities and small towns.。

It declined in popularity, and references to its acquired a condemnatory tone.People began to reject Social Darwinism because it seemed to glorify brutal force and oppose treasured values of sympathy, love and friendship. Therefore, when it was mentioned, it was usually the target of criticism.6. ...the search for a way of getting the poor off our conscience was not at an end; it w as only suspended.The desire to find a way to justify the unconcern for the poor had not been abandoned; it had only been put off.7. ...only rarely given to overpaying for monkey wrenches, flashlights, coffee makers, and toilet seats.Government officials, on the whole, are good; it is very rare that some would pay high prices for office equipment to get kickbacks.8. This is perhaps our most highly influential piece of fiction.It is a very popular story and has been accepted by many but it is not true.9. Belief can be the servant of truth---but even more of convenience.Belief can be useful in the search for truth, but more often than not it is accepted because it is convenient and self-serving.10. George Gilder... Who tells to much applause that the poor must have the cruel spur of their own suffering to ensure effort...George Gilder advances the view that only when the poor suffer from great misery will they be stimulated to make great efforts to change the situation, in other words, suffering is necessary to force the poor to work hard.11. But these marks of wild country called to may father like the legendary siren song.Though the place was not pleasant or disagreeable, my father was deeply attracted to it precisely because of its unexplored, uncultivated natural state, and the challenge.12. "I'm afraid the day's going to catch us," I explained, wondering what great disaster might befall us if it did.As a little girl, I believed my father's words, and was genuinely afraid of the possible disaster--if we didn't hurry up, the day would catch us and terrible things might happen.13. ...from time to time he was halfheartedly sought for trial, though few crimes seemed to lead directly to his door.In this place, though the police wound make some effort without real earnest to investigate Watson and bring him to court, there seemed to be little concrete evidence to prove that he wasresponsible for certain illegal activities.14. The stranglehold Watson had over this section of Florida was not dissimilar to the unscrupulous activities of certain lawmen, other legal crooks, and even governors that our state was to suffer through its history.The control Watson had over this part of Florida was much similar to the dishonest or illegal activities of the law-enforcing officials and governors which Florida witnessed in the 20th century.15. There was the little shack, not the most gracious of living quarters, and there was a murderer for our nearest and only neighbor, about thirty miles away.Before the family built their own house, they lived in a shabby cabin at Gopher Key, close to the merciless Watson.16. King Richard in his gluttony never sat at a table more sumptuous than ours was three times a day...We had abundant food on the island, and even the meals enjoyed by King Richard, who was famous for his love of food, couldn’t possibly compare with ours.17. Despite the unrelenting heat, we were happy to be let off from our hours of school indoors, sessions which our mother kept every day, rain or shine.Although it was very hot outside in the sun, we were happy to be dismissed from my mother's sessions indoors. we would have to read and write with her every day no matter what the weather was like.Unit318. But this image, now repeatedly thrust before us in photographs, posters, and advertisements, is misleading.The Earth we see in photos, posters, and ads, which appears so beautiful, is not the true reflection of the world we live in, such image lulls us into complacency.19. The technosphere has become sufficiently large and intense to alter the natural processes that govern the ecosphere.Human activities have taken place over such large areas and with such intensity that they have already caused disastrous effects on ecology.20. ...which could establish itself only because it fitted properly into the preexisting system.the fish could play its role because it became a necessary link with the processes preceding it and the processes following it in the ecological system.21. Defined so narrowly, it is no surprise that cars have properties that are hostile to their environment.When cars are produced to serve such narrow purposes, it is not surprising that some of their characteristic qualities are harmful to the environment.22. Yields rose, but not in proportion to the rate of fertilizer application...the farmer applied more and more fertilizer, and the production did rise but did not increase at the same rate of the fertilizer.23...their waste is flushed into the sewer system altered in composition but not in amount at treatment plant...People eat plants and animals, and their waste is flushed into the sewer system. After being processed, the waste is still waste. the residue will go into rivers, oceans, and will have harmful effect on the aquatic ecosystem.24. Left to their own devices, ecosystems are conservative...If the ecosystems are not upset by outside intrusion, they will remain the same with very little change25.In contrast to the ecosphere, the technosphere is composed of objects and materials that reflecta rapid and relentless process of change and variation.The characteristics of the objects and materials in the technosphere are rapid change and great variety.26.But this is done only at the cost of understanding.if we take side in the war of the two words, we are doing so at the risk of failing to have a clear understanding of the nature and cause of the war, thus, we lose the chance to really solve the grave environmental crisis.Unit 4 Nettles1. How all my own territory would be altered, ad if a landslide had gone through it and skimmed off all meaning except loss of Mike.The impact of Mike's leaving on my life was beyond my imagination. I didn't expect that Mike's leaving would have such a tremendous power that it would change the meaning of my existence completely. All my thoughts were about loss of Mike.2. During that time of life that is supposed to be a reproductive daze, with the woman's mind all swamped by maternal juices, we were still compelled to discuss Simone de Beauvoir and Arthur Koestler and "The Cocktail Party".At that time, we were young mothers, and we were supposed to lead a terribly busy life full of confusion and bewilderment caused by giving birth to and raising babies. and our minds were supposed to be fully occupied by how to feed the babies and things like that. However, in the midst of all this we still felt the need to discuss some of the important thinkers of our time like Simone de Beauvoir and Arthur Koestler and T. S. Eliot's sophisticated work "The Cocktail Party".3. ...I would be frightened, not of any hostility but of a kind of nonexistence.I would be frightened, and my fear was not caused by my neighbor's visibly hostile and violent way of life, but by a kind of formless and hidden emptiness and meaninglessness of human existence. What happened around me was totally irrelevant to me, and I felt very isolated and alienated.4. She did not ask me---was it delicacy or disapproval? ---about my new life.She did not ask me about my new life, either out of subtle consideration for my feeling about this sensitive subject or out of disapproval for my new life style.5. It would be a sleazy thing to do, in the house of his friends.It would be a morally low thing, an indecent thing to commit infidelity in the house of a friend.6. I knew now that he was a person who had hit rock bottom.I knew that he was a person who had experienced the worst in life, the hardest experience a person might have to endure.7. He and wife knew that together and it bound them, as something like that would either break you apart or bind you, for life.They experienced the worst together and they knew what it was like and understood the meaning of that experience. Such an experience posed the gravest test to people. If they stood the test, their friendship or marriage would be strengthened, and a sacred bondage would be formed between them. But if they failed the test, their relationship would be broken and they would be drivenapart.8. Not risking a thing yet staying alive as a sweet trickle, an underground resource. With the weight of this now stillness on it, this seal.If they acted on love, they would take risks. they wouldn't do that or go further in their relationship, but they would rather let their love remain as a sweet trickle, which would flow on gently and permanently, and as an underground resource, which would never be fully tapped but would never go dry.1....the national rejection of dogmatic preconceptions about the nature of the social and economic order1. There are such prejudices in an arrogant manner about the characteristic of the social order and economic order and they take it for granted. The country just rejected such prejudice.2 Nor can one suggest that Americans have been consistently vulnerability to secular ideology ever after2. No one can say that Americans have never been tempted by the approach of understanding, preserving or transforming the world according to rigid dogmas.3. .and any intellect so shaped was ...ever afterA mind influenced by Calvinist theology would surely find it somewhat difficult to resist other ideological temptations to ideological thinking.4. Pragmatism is no more wholly devoid...experiencePragmatism is not completely free from abstract ideas just as ideology is not completely free from experience, that is to say, abstract ideas have a place in pragmatism just as experience has a role in ideology.5. As an ideologist, however, Jefferson....historical curiosityAs a man following a fixed set of beliefs, Jefferson is only an interesting historical figure. His beliefs are out of date and are irrelevant to present-day reality.6. ...whose central dogma is confided to the custody of an infallible priesthoodTheir central beliefs are imprisoned by the whole body of priests who are always effective.7. ...where free men may find partial truths, but where ...on Absolute TruthIn this universe a person whose mind is unconstrained may be able to discover relation truths but no man on earth can claim that he has already grasped the one and only truth.8. But ideology is a drug; no matter how ...it still persists.Ideology has the characteristic of a narcotic. In spite of the fact that it has been proved wrong many times by experience, people still long to commit themselves to ideology.9. ...the only certainty in an absolute system is the certainty of absolute abuse.The only thing that is sure of a despotic system is the unrestricted exercise of power.10. The distinctive human triumph...lies in the capacity to understand the frailty of human striving ...nonethelessThe most outstanding achievement of humanity is they know that no matter how hard they try, they cannot achieve Absolute truth, yet they continue to make great efforts and refuse to give up Unit71. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human life.As a result of technological development, human belongs now have the power to put an end to poverty and human, misery, but at the same time they also possess the power to destroy the wholeworld, rendering it uninhabitable and lifeless.2. ...unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights...We do not want to see or to allow the slow destruction of those human rights.3. To those peoples in the huts and villages of half.....of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves...To the people of the underdeveloped countries living in poverty in rural areas, we are committed to helping them to rid themselves of mass poverty by their own efforts.4. But this peaceful revolution of hope cannot become the prey of hostile powers.But we should not let any communist power take advantage of this alliance for progress to expand its influence.5. And let every other power know that this....of its own house.We want to make clear to the communist powers that Americas are the Americas of the Americans. Do not attempt to penetrate into this area.6. ...before the dark powers of destruction..... or accidental self-destruction.Before the world is destroyed by a nuclear war launched in a preemptive attack or caused by accident.7. ...yet both racing to alter the uncertain...of mankind's final war.Y et both sides attempt to get an edge in the nuclear arms race so as to break the mutual deterrence which has so far prevented the outbreak of a nuclear war.8. ...civility is not a sign of weakness, and sincerity is always subject to proof.To be ready to negotiate and establish friendly relations does not mean that we are weak or afraid. Declarations of sincere intention have to be tested by actions.9. Let both sides seek to invoke the wonders of science instead of its terrors.Let the two sides use the fruits of science for the benefit of humanity rather than using high-tech weapons to kill and destroy.10. ...each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. 1. There have been occasions for each generations of Americans to be called upon to fight and die for their country.。
