10READING SELECTION AAmerican Values at the Crossroads注黄字体为课后生词[1]Faced with the rapid change and the fear and uncertainty that go with it, individuals(citizens) as well as(and)nation sometimes seek to return to the ways of the past as a solution. In the early 1980s the idea of returning to the ways of the past had a strong appeal to(attraction)many Americans who increasingly viewed their past as being better than their future. It has been observed that until the 1970s Americans generally believed that the present was a better time for their country than the past and that the future would better than the present; by 1978, however,public opinion polls showed that many Americans had come to believe that just the opposite was true: the past had been better for the country than the present, and the present was better than the future would be.[2] The popular(present)appeal(desire)of returning to the ways(styles)of the past as a solution (solve->solution) to the problems of the 1980s was demonstrated(shown)when Ronald Reagan was elected President of the United States in 1980.Time magazine chose President Reagan as its "man of the year' and said of(commented)him: "intellectually, emotionally, Reagan lives in the past."[3] One of President Reagan's basic beliefs is that the United States should return as much as possible to its pre-1930 ways. In those times business institutions(organization)were strong and government institutions were weak. Reagan believed that American values of individual freedom and competition are strengthened by business and weakened by government. Therefore, his programs(goal/ objectives)as President have been designed to greatly strengthen business and reduce the size and power of the national government. By moving in this way toward the practices of the past, President Reagan believed that the standard of living of Americans would begin to improve once more(again)in the 1980s as it had done throughout most of the nation's history.[4] A number of leaders in politics, education, and the professions take a different approach (method)than does President Reagan. They believe that the nation must adopt(use/ make use of)new values to go along with(together with)the old values and that it must be prepared to make some changes in the old values when(it is)necessary.[5] What new values should be adopted? This is a very difficult question to answer. However, it became clear in the 1970s that there was no longer an abundance of cheap energy and that shortages of other essential(basic/most important)resources such as water were becoming more serious. These facts suggested(show)to many Americans that a greater value(should)be placed on the conservation of national resources, that is (namely/ i.e.), that Americans should save more of these resources by learning to use less and waste less.[6]Conservation has never been a strong American value. Because of the vast resources and space of North America, Americans came to believe that abundance was endless (unlimited). In such an environment, there seemed to be little need for conservation of resources. After World War II Americans believed that their modern technology could work(create)wonders and provide a never-ending increase in their standard of living. It is not surprising, therefore, that in the United States before the 1980s,conservation had little importance(when it is)compared with such other values as freedom, equality of opportunity, hard work, and the accumulation of material wealth.[7] There is some evidence that the experience of greater shortages of energy during the 1970s caused Americans to place more emphasis on conservation. For example, a poll(survey)taken at the end of the decade showed that 66% of Americans agreed with the statement: "I'm not unhappy about the possibility of shortages because I know it will encourage(urge)me to use everything efficiently and not wastefully."[8] Some people, however, believe that poll results like these reveal only part of the truth.Although Americans may agree with statements supporting the value of conservation, most of them are not yet applying these beliefs in their day-to-day(daily)actions (life).[9] Belief in conservation, therefore, is still weak(when it is)compared with other American beliefs. It can become stronger only as(when)Americans see the need for it more and more clearly. Conservation may well be (become)a new value which needs to be added to the old basic values in order to help the United States deal with its future problems.[10] A second belief which has never been strong among the American people is the belief that the value of cooperation on a national scale to achieve some important national(goal)objectives. The American idea of the national good(n./ benefit/ interest)has never been based on national cooperation but rather on the freedom of the individual. Americans, therefore, tend to think of the national good in terms of maintaining(keeping)those conditions that provide the greatest freedom for the individual. They believe that a nation of free individuals will be naturally strong and prosperous. Planned efforts at national cooperation, therefore, are not needed. More important, planned efforts at national cooperation would mean increasing the powers of the national government, which would endanger the freedom of the individual.[11] The American value of competition also hinders the development of a spirit of national cooperation. Even though competitive activity is supposed to(=should)be conducted(directed/ done) according to fair rules (fair play), it does not encourage a spirit of cooperation. Rather (instead/ On the contrary), it sometimes encourages a spirit of mutual suspicion(suspect)of the motives(purpose/ desire)of the others. A certain degree of trust in the motives of others is necessary for the success of efforts in national cooperation.[12] In time of war Americans have temporarily put aside their dislike of planned national cooperation. They have been willing to cooperate and make personal sacrifices under the direction (=leadership)of the national government to bring the war to satisfactory conclusion (=end). In peacetime, however, planned national cooperation is strongly resisted as a threat to individual freedom.[13] The almost (nearly) unique American historical experience gives us a deeper understanding of this attitude. Almost every nation in the world has had, or still has, the experience of being ruled by kings, emperors,dictators, or a hereditary class of aristocrats. Such rulers are not elected by the free votes of the people and they have the power to say what the national good is and to force their people to cooperate if they cannot persuade them to do so. Out of(among)these experiences there have developed traditions and habits of cooperation, sometimes for good purposes and sometimes for evil (bad/ wrong)purposes.[14] Americans have never had the experience of being forced to cooperate on a national scale by nonelected rulers. For a time, they were the colonists of Great Britain and were legally(bind)bound to obey rulers in England whom they did not elect, but the British government allowed the colonists a great deal of freedom and self-government by the standards of the day. Still(Furthermore)the American colonists were not long(soon)in demanding (requiring) more freedom and self-government, and finally declaring their independence in 1776. From the time of their independence, Americans have freely elected their rulers. The experience of being compelled to cooperate by unelected national leaders is completely foreign(strange)to their experience. They are fearful(=fear)that any scheme (plan) of national cooperation in peacetime will weaken or destroy their freedoms.[15] Americans have always viewed(considered/ regarded)cooperation as important in small groups such as the family, the neighborhood, or the church. But on the large national scale where government becomes involved, it is seen(considered/ regarded)as coercive and destructive rather than voluntary and constructive.American tend to associate the greatness of their nation far more with such values as individual freedom, equality of opportunity, hard work, and competition than with national cooperation.[16] Yet the demands(=needs)of the 1980s may compel (force) Americans to place(emphasize)a greater value on national cooperation. It may well be that some of the problems facing them, such as scarcity of resources and the dangers of air and water pollution, cannot be solved without a greater degree of national cooperation.[17] If Americans choose (=decide) to give more emphasis to national cooperation, they will probably be very cautious about it. In order to protect their freedoms, they will move slowly in a step-by-step, problem-by-problem fashion (way), rather than accept a sweeping new plan involving dramatic change. Because of their tradition of self-government, they will probably insist on(persist in doing sth.)a good deal of public discussion before any step toward national cooperation is taken.[18] Some observers believe that this slow, cautious approach may be too weak and too timid to meet the challenges of the future. Americans, however, believe that sudden revolutionary changes made in the name of(in the honor)the national good usually result in(lead to)dictatorships in which freedom is lost and problems remain unsolved.[19] In the 1980s Americans may have arrived at a critical point in their nation's history, where major dangers must be faced and major choices must be made.On the one hand, they will wish to avoid the risk of making too many changes in the basic values which have inspired(encouraged)them in the past. On the other hand, they must avoid what may be the greater risk of refusing to change their values at all even though conditions are changing rapidly all around them. The events of the past two decades have brought the American people and their basic values to a crossroads in their history. The last two decades of the twentieth century will determine where they will go from there. (1, 530 words) II. VocabularyA.

Sometimes we have difficulty knowing where to start. We want that new body, or want to be healthy and have more energy, but we just do not know what the first step is. In addition, the road to our goals is sometimes a rocky one. It is difficult to transgress and sometimes we just want to give up. We sometimes forget that our current situation did not occur overnight and so changing it will not happen overnight either. It will take time and hard work. Therefore, I suggest that you should set only one goal at a time.When you try to take on too much at once, you can become overwhelmed quickly. Create a list and take one goal at a time. Once you achieve that goal, back to your list to mark it off, and move to the next one. The act of achieving goals individually will give you a greater sense of accomplishment. You can even break the one goal into smaller parts. This gives you motivation and success more often than waiting for days or months to achieve a larger goal.B.

It can be used non-medically to mean a state of extreme rage or excitement.6.More embarrassing, with NASA’s space shuttle due to be mothballed in 2010, and its cheaper replacement, the Orion capsule, not due to fly until 2012, the partners face a two year gap in which they will have to rely on Russia’s Soyuz ships to commute to the space station.<Para.2> To NASA’s embarrassment, they had to stop using their shuttle in 2010 and its cheaper replacement, the Orion capsule cannot fly until 2012, so there will be a two year gap between 2010 and 2012, in which NASA’s international partners have to depend on Russia’s ship to come and go to the space station.mothball: to decide not to use or develop something, for a period of time, especially a piece of equipment or a plan 封存;搁置不用If someone in authority mothballs a plan, factory, or piece of equipment, they decide to stop developing or using it, perhaps temporarily.7.The shortfall may force NASA to open up its space-exploration program to commercial operators to a degree that’s unprecedented in its history.<Para.3> The shortage or lack of money may force NASA to get commercial operators involved in its space-exploration program to a degree that has never happened before.shortfall:n. 缺口;差额;亏空If there is a shortfall in something, there is less of it than you need.8.The move could create opportunities for the modern equivalents of Young and Bradford—entrepreneurs willing to risk their livelihoods on making the exploration of space affordable by not only designing and building ships for3 / 434NASA, but also by providing shuttle services to deliver NASA astronauts or equipment to their targets. <Para.3>The move—NASA’s opening up its space program to commercial or private sectors— could create opportunities for upcoming modern entrepreneurs like Young and Bradford in the early times. They are willing to take a risk in spending much money, effort and even their lives on space exploration in order to get it started and moved on by not only designing and building ships for NASA, but also by providing shuttle services to deliver NASA astronauts or equipment to meet NASA’s targets. 9.In the past, NASA has been deeply involved in managing design and development work by outside contractors, a messy process that made the shuttle expensive and unsafe, rather than cheap and safe. Now the agency is under pressure to step back and buy services wholesale from private firms.<Para.3>In the past, NASA has spent much effort and time asking outside contractors to design and develop space shuttles, which is a very complicated process making the space shuttle expensive and unsafe rather than cheap and safe. Now due to financial pressure, the agency has stepped back to entrust private firms to do all the business for NASA.10."We’re talking about a movement from where the government has been the prime contractor, managing situationswith a very hands-on role, to a situation where they are just a customer,〞says Larry Williams. <Para.3> We are talking about the movement —NASA has shifted it role from a major contractor who needs to do every detailed and practical work by itself to a customer who buys services wholesale from private firms.11.The next step is to work out similar deals with private firms to send astronauts aloft. <Para.5> The next step is toenable the private firms to send astronauts to outer space just like cargo that can be delivered.aloft:adj./adv.high in the air 在空中高处Something that is aloft is in the air or off the ground.12.To do that, NASA will have to relinquish some of its oversight of crew safety. This isn’t entirely without precedent.<Para.5> In order to let private firms send astronauts into space, NASA will have to give uptheir responsibility of regulating crew safety. This has happened before.relinquish:vt.to stop having something, especially when this happens unwillinglyIf you relinquish something such as power or control, you give it up.oversight: the state of being in charge of somebody/something 负责;照管13.Space X claims it could adapt its cargo-carrying spaceship for ferrying a human crew in less than three years, once itgets the green light. <Para.6> Space X claims it could make some change to its spaceship so that it could send people to outer space in less than three years, once it gets permission.14.If Virgin and other commercial firms can deliver, Earth orbit will be far more accessible than it’s ever been before.Although it would still be a stretch for all but the wealthiest people, costs could come down low enough to jump-start markets for tourism. <Para.8> If commercial firms like Virgin Galactic can deliver man to Earth orbit, then Earth orbit would be much easier to get to than ever before. It would be open to nobody but the wealthiest people since only the rich can afford the high price,but the cost could be reduced so that it would become a rising market for tourism.15.The big sticking point, however, will be safety. Even though NASA holds the safety of its crew paramount, it stillhasn’t been able to escape the occasional disaster, like the loss of the Columbia shuttle and its crew in 2003. <Para.8> The key point is still the consideration of safety of its crew. Even though NASA regards the safety of its crew as the most important thing, it still hasn’t been able to avoid the occasional disaster, such as the loss of the Space shuttle, Columbia andits 7 crew members in 2003.16.…the space shuttle is unreliable, in part, because its all-purpose design is overly complex. NASA needs a biggerrocket capable of sending a crew, with equipment and supplies for a long-duration trip, beyond the tether of Earth’s gravity. <Para.9>… the space shuttle is unreliable partly because its space shuttle is designed for all- around purposes, such as carryingcargo or people, etc. And the process of design is extremely complex. NASA needs a bigger rocket capable of sending a crew, with equipment and supplies for a longer trip, beyond the limitation or influence of Earth’s gravity.overly: too/ extremely17.It might be able to entice commercial firms to undertake their own big rockets if there were some payoff down theroad. <Para.9> Private firms might be attracted to build their own rockets to deliver astronauts to outer space if they could get profits..payoff:n. return; reward; payment18.Many seemingly ridiculous ideas for generating energy and beaming it back to Earth now seem much less so, thanksto the climate crisis. <Para.9> The ideas of generating energy and shining it back to earth, which used to sound very funny, but now seems much possible and necessary due to the consideration of the climate crisis.19.…the challenge of sending people safely into deep space and back for a profit is big enough to give any entrepreneurpause. <Para.10> … the challenge for private services to send people safely into deep space and back for making profits is so big that any entrepreneur would hesitate before they take their steps.give sb./sth. pause:使踌躇,使犹豫This finding should give pause to it. 这个发现令人深思.His recent behavior has given her pause about their relationship.他最近的行为让她对他们的关系产生了犹豫.20.The Industrial Revolution didn’t take off until the railways arrived. <Para.11>Here it means that the private sector will play an important role and do lots of work in deep space only if NASA gets it started.III. Key to the exercises1. Reading comprehension<1> In early times there was an essay comparing space travel to the colonization, but nothing can keep Dyson from makingameticulous effort to quantify and compare the costs of these vastly different ventures.<2>By presenting the relationship between FedEx and the U.S. Postal service, the writer wants to showthat NASA actually canpay private firms, like Space X to design and develop space program.<3>NASA opened up its space exploration program to commercial operators because NASA lacksfunding to keep its humanspaceflight program moving on and operating. So, it is the shortfall that forces NASA to open up its space-exploration program to commercial operators.<4>There are two steps that NASA is going to take after it begins working with smaller companies.The first is to get cargodelivered to space; the next step is to work out similar deals with private firms to send astronauts aloft.<5>Give your own comments.2.

研究生英语阅读教程提高级第三版课件第10单元全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1Research indicates that effective reading comprehension is an essential skill for graduate students. The ability to understand and analyze complex texts is crucial for success in academia and beyond. In the third edition of the Graduate English Reading Tutorial, Unit 10 focuses on advanced strategies for improving reading skills. This unit covers a range of topics including critical reading, synthesizing information, and evaluating sources.One key aspect of Unit 10 is the development of critical reading skills. Graduate students are encouraged to go beyond simply understanding the main ideas of a text and to engage in a deeper analysis of the author's arguments and evidence. By questioning the text, identifying bias, and evaluating the validity of the author's claims, students can develop a more sophisticated understanding of the material.Additionally, Unit 10 emphasizes the importance of synthesizing information from multiple sources. Graduate students often encounter complex texts that present a variety ofperspectives on a given topic. By comparing and contrasting different viewpoints, students can develop a more nuanced understanding of the subject matter. This skill is particularly important for research projects and thesis writing, where students must engage with a variety of sources in order to develop a well-rounded argument.Furthermore, Unit 10 provides guidance on evaluating sources. In an era of fake news and misinformation, it is crucial for graduate students to critically assess the credibility of the sources they use in their research. By examining the author's credentials, the publication date, and the methodology used in a study, students can make informed decisions about the reliability of the information they encounter.Overall, Unit 10 of the Graduate English Reading Tutorial provides graduate students with advanced strategies for improving their reading skills. By developing critical reading skills, synthesizing information, and evaluating sources, students can enhance their academic performance and succeed in their future careers. Graduates who master these skills will be well-equipped to engage with complex texts, contribute to scholarly conversations, and make meaningful contributions to their fields of study.篇2Graduate English Reading Tutorial Advanced Edition Unit 10Unit 10 of the Graduate English Reading Tutorial Advanced Edition focuses on improving reading comprehension skills through the analysis of complex texts, reading strategies, and critical thinking exercises. In this unit, students will engage with a variety of texts that challenge them to think critically, analyze arguments, and draw connections between different ideas.The unit begins with an overview of the different types of texts that students will encounter in academic settings, such as research articles, essays, and case studies. Students will learn how to identify the main ideas and arguments in these texts, as well as how to evaluate their credibility and relevance to their own research projects.One of the key components of this unit is the discussion of reading strategies that can help students improve their comprehension and retention of complex texts. These strategies include skimming and scanning for main ideas, using context clues to infer meanings of unfamiliar words, and summarizing key points in their own words.The unit also includes exercises that challenge students to think critically about the texts they are reading. For example, students may be asked to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of an argument, identify logical fallacies, or consider alternative perspectives on a given topic.By the end of this unit, students will have developed a set of reading skills that will help them navigate the complex texts they encounter in their academic and professional lives. They will be better equipped to engage with challenging material, critically evaluate arguments, and draw connections between different ideas.篇3Research on Graduate English Reading Tutorial Advanced Third EditionUnit 10: Understanding Academic TextsIntroduction:Unit 10 of the Graduate English Reading Tutorial Advanced Third Edition focuses on understanding academic texts. Academic texts are an essential part of graduate studies as they provide the basis for research, critical thinking, and academic writing. Therefore, it is crucial for graduate students to developeffective reading strategies to comprehend and analyze academic texts.Key Concepts:1. Skimming and Scanning: Skimming and scanning are two essential reading techniques that can help graduate students quickly identify key information in academic texts. Skimming involves reading quickly to get an overview of the text, while scanning involves searching for specific information.2. Close Reading: Close reading involves a detailed analysis of a text to understand its meaning, structure, and arguments. Graduate students should pay attention to the author's thesis, supporting evidence, and the overall structure of the text.3. Critical Thinking: Critical thinking is a crucial skill for graduate students to develop when reading academic texts. It involves questioning assumptions, evaluating arguments, and synthesizing information to form your own opinions.4. Academic Vocabulary: Academic texts often contain specialized vocabulary that may be unfamiliar to graduate students. It is essential to develop a strong academic vocabulary to understand and engage with academic texts effectively.5. Note-Taking: Taking notes while reading academic texts can help graduate students organize information, identify key points, and create a reference for further research and writing.Strategies for Understanding Academic Texts:1. Preview the Text: Before reading an academic text, skim through the introduction, headings, and conclusion to get an overview of the main ideas and arguments.2. Identify the Author's Thesis: Pay attention to the author's main argument or thesis statement, which outlines the central idea of the text.3. Analyze the Structure: Look for the organization of the text, including the introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. Identify how the author presents their arguments and evidence.4. Highlight Key Points: Mark important information, arguments, and evidence while reading the text to help you remember and analyze them later.5. Engage with the Text: Ask questions, make connections, and challenge assumptions while reading to develop critical thinking skills and deepen your understanding of the text.Conclusion:Unit 10 of the Graduate English Reading Tutorial Advanced Third Edition provides graduate students with essential strategies for understanding academic texts. By developing strong reading skills, critical thinking abilities, and academic vocabulary, graduate students can engage effectively with academic texts and enhance their research and writing skills.。

Unit 10Text AII. Language points1. New strategies to confront the perils of climate change reflect a sense of urgency and fresh perspectives. (para.1) New strategies to tackle the dangers brought about by climate change show that people feel that the climate problem is urgent and look at this problem from a new angle.2. On Wednesday, September 16, as part of an ongoing series on natural disasters, the Brookings-Bern Project on Internal Displacement hosted a roundtable on the future challenges of climate change and the role of the international community. (para.2) On Wednesday, September 16, as part of series of actions being taken to deal with natural disasters, the Brookings-Bern Project on Internal Displacement organized a discussion about the challenges brought about by climate change in the future and the role the international community plays in the battle against it.3. Rod Snider, of the American Red Cross, opened the discussion by outlining the rapid increase of natural disasters worldwide and the pressing need for adaptable international responses. (para.2) Rod opened the discussion by speaking of the rapid increase of natural disasters and the urgency of flexible international responses.4. Brookings Senior Fellow Elizabeth Ferris added to the discussion a response stressing the need for a rights-based approach with the specific intent to protect vulnerable populations affected by natural disasters. (para.2) Brookings Senior Fellow Elizabeth Ferris responded to the discussion by emphasizing that it is necessary to adopt an approach based on the protection of rights with the special purpose to protect populations easily influenced by natural disasters.5. Brookings Fellow Noam Unger moderated the discussion.(para.2) Brookings Fellow Noam Unger made compromises between different opinions in the discussion.6. In the current approach to natural disasters, gaining access to the affected region can be limited by a lack of coordination and adaptability. (para.4) In the present ways to deal with natural disasters, entering the areas hit by the disaster is limited because of a lack of cooperation and flexibility.7. However, he also noted that these efforts must expand their focus and look at recovery from the beginning.(para.5) However, these responses must expand their focus andconsider recovery from disaster in the beginning.8. Further, such efforts must involve the affected community in recovery activities in a real and participatory way. (para.5) What’s more, such responses must include local areas and let them participate in the recovery activities.9. In some cases, the government may have to physically relocate people to protect them from impending natural disasters.( para.7) Sometimes, the government may have to move people to other areas to protect them from imminent natural disasters.10. Ferris outlines the approach taken in the IASC Operational Guidelines to formulatea hierarchy of rights for people affected by a natural disaster. (para.8) Ferris gave ashort description of the approach taken in the IASC Operational Guidelines to express rights of different levels for affected people in a natural disaster.11. At the top of this hierarchy is the right to life, illustrating that physically protectingpeople must be a top priority. (para.8) Among those rights, the most important is the right to life. To ensure people’s li ves must be the first thing to consider.12. For example, sometimes, NGOs unknowingly replicate and reproduce the domesticcaste structure within their own staff, fostering inherent discrimination. (para.9) For example, non-government organizations unconsciously copy the hierarchical structure of their own country in their organizations, therefore, the discrimination within the organization itself develops.13. During the workshops, participants were able to see the human rights implications ofdisaster response and welcomed existing tools to assist them in adapting a rights-based approach.(para.9) During the practical work against natural disasters, participants were able to see the significance of human rights in disaster response and welcomed present systems to help them in making certain changes to find an approach based on the protection of human rights.14. …the international response is still very weak, as evidenced by th e lack of adesignated lead agency for protection in natural disasters. (para.10) …the international response is still not so effective, which can be proved by the lack of an appointed lead agency for protection in natural disasters.15. …ensuring that Dis aster Risk Reduction is a national and local priority. (para.12) ...guaranteeing that Disaster Risk Reduction is the most important thing both in a nation and in the local areas.16. Resilience is the key to empowering these vulnerable populations in the face of harshclimate change. (para.16) Flexibility is important to give these easily-hurt people power when they encounter the severe climate change.17. “The great tragedy of sustainable development is that we have not invented a politicsto go with it.” (para.17) It is a pity that our politics are not good enough to ensure the implementation of sustainable development.18. Cameron pointed out that an integral component has to be political will.(para.20)Cameron pointed out that for climate change strategies, one necessary thing is the will of politicians.19. Ferris noted that migration is likely to be an adaptation strategy. (para.21) Ferrisnoted that moving to other places is a strategy used to adapt to the severe climate situation.20. The potential of large-scale climate-induced migration raises major political, legal,economic, and security questions. For example, politically, migration could signal the “death” of nations, such as island states.(para.21) Moving to other places to live in large numbers due to climate change causes significant political, economic, and security problems. For example, from the political perspective, migration could be a sign that a nation is dead.21. Legally and economically, it is unclear what happens if a nation moves. (para.21) If anation moves to other places, the legal and economic significance is not clear.22. Finally, a clear discrepancy exists between those responsible for climate change andthose most affected by it.(para.22) Finally, a big difference exists between developed countries that emit most of the greenhouse gases and developing countries greatly influenced by climate change.23. Cameron pointed out that between these two groups, those vulnerable to climatechange are aware of their vulnerability but do not know what to do to combat it. To the contrary, those responsible for climate change know what to do to combat it, but have become complacent. (para.22) Cameron pointed out that between these two groups, those easily influenced by climate change realize their fragility but do not know what to do to fight against it. By contrast, those countries that emit most of the carbon into the atmosphere know what to do but have become too self-satisfied to take any action.III. Key to the exercises1. Reading Comprehension(1) The current international response lacks coordination and sustainable developmentapproaches. What’s more, it fails to protect the rights of displaced persons.(2) The discussion is about the future challenges of climate change and the role ofinternational community.(3) Rod Snider believes that international responses to natural disasters should not be limitedto a single model. Instead, the international community should take a holistic model, strengthen cooperation and share information together. At the same time, the affected community should be involved in recovery activities in a real and participatory way. (4) According to Elizabeth Ferris, to protect affected people, the most important thing is toprotect their rights to life. Once the right to life is guaranteed, the focus of international response can shift to other basic needs. And the international community should takerights-based approach to protect the rights of displaced people.(5) According to Edward Cameron, climate change is serious and should be tackled urgently.And developing greater coherence among different organizations and programs is essential.According to him, more long-term and sustainable approaches are needed after a natural disaster.2.

TranslationA. Chinese to English1) Translate the following sentences into English.(1) In the international society, there is a trend that countries all over the world put their owninterests on top priority. Therefore, it is difficult for them to reach an agreement on the problem of tackling global warming.(2) The need for perfection and the desire for inner tranquility conflict with each other.(3) We should soberly rethink what we have done in the past, look to the future, review ourexperience, draw the lessons from it and seriously address the problems we are faced with at present.(4) In the face of adversity, courage and perseverance shown by people in the affected areaswin great respect from people all over the world.(5) In the aftermath of natural disasters,food in affected areas may become contaminated andconsequently be at risk for outbreaks of foodborne disease.(6) It is not true that suffering ennobles the character; happiness does that sometimes, butsuffering, for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive.(7) This conference centers on how to develop a low-carbon economy to realize thesustainable development of the whole society.(8) When it comes to mitigation of earthquake disasters, people’s governments at differentlevels shall strengthen leadership over the work and mobilize the relevant departments totake effective measures to protect people’s safety.2) Translate the following paragraph into English.During the summit, Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed said, “This is not a negotiation. This is different from the WTO negotiations. You cannot cut a deal with Mother Nature.” While the speech was being delivered, Maldives islanders were moving inland. Nonetheless, in contrast to the strong statements made by international businesses, count ries’ representative negotiators made careful government commitments. As Churchill said, “There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies, only permanent interests.” The national interests are putting great pressures on the negotiations. One long-time UN climate change negotiator expressed, “Internationalism is only reflected at the civic level; it is impossible at the national level.” Any country that takes the first step to give way faces large risks and would be labeled as being foolish.B. English to Chinese1) Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.气候的变化引起了自然灾害的增加。

FriendshipPreviewFriendship is a unique relationship. In contrast to most other relationships, friendship is voluntary. There are legal and religious ceremonies for marriage, and social and legal rules for governing marital relationships. We have no parallel ceremoniesto recognize friendships and no formal standards to guide interaction among friends. The lack of social standards and recognition makes friendship a particularly challenging and exciting relationship.Text ReadingWarm-upKnowing friendship.Friendship is universal; a close friend is a close friend anywhere.

Adelma n[1] What do America ns mean whe n they use the word "frie nd"? The dicti onary defi nes it as: "one attached to ano ther by affectio n (love) or esteem (great respect and admirati on; a good opi nion of sb)", America ns, however, use the word more freely tha n the dicti onary defi niti on. A frie nd might be an acquaintance or an intimate (close) companion (a person who has similar tastes, interests, etc. to your own and whose compa ny you enjoy) that one has known since childhood. It is difficult todefine this word precisely (accurately) as it is used in American English, because it covers many differe nt relati on ships. "My frie nd and I took our kids to the park yesterday." "My frie nd told me about a won derful restaura nt." "My frie nd liste ned to my problems for two hours yesterday." We hear such daily uses of the word "friend" without knowing the quality (the standard of sth when it is compared to other things like it) of the friendship mentioned.[2] In gen eral, America ns have casual (without deep affecti on) frie ndly relatio nships with many people, but deeper, closer friendships with only a few. True friendships require time and commitme nt (a promise to do sth or to behave in a particular way), which many America ns lack. Therefore, they ofte n find it convenient to have frie ndly but less committed relati on ships, rather tha n many deep, close frie ndships. Un like the stereotype (a fixed idea or image that many people have of a particular type of pers on or thi ng, but which is ofte n not true in reality), America ns doin deed have close frie nds, but in additi on they have frie ndships that can be characterized as superficial (not concerned with anything serious or important and lacking any depth of understanding or feeling). Their shortage of time and their numerous (many) commitments to family, work, and eve n volun teer projects mean America ns have less time to pursue (seek) many close frie nds.Frie ndli ness Versus (v.s./ vs=aga in st) Frie ndship[3] Many people around the world characterize (con sider/ regard) America ns as frie ndly. America ns, especially in comparis on to certa in other cultural groups, tend to smile and talk easily with others eve n if they are stra ngers (in big cities, this is less com mon). For example, people waiting in lines (i.e., in the post office or in the grocery store) often strike up conversations② with each other. They may even disclose (to give sb information about sth, especially sth that was previously secret) personal information in encounters with strangers whom they will never see aga in. This seems unu sual (un com mon) to many foreig ners in the Un ited States. From their point of view, how can a pers on trust a stra nger eno ugh to chat freely and reveal pers onal in formati on? After all, in most of the world, strangers are not to be trusted.[4] The followi ng is an acco unt (descriptio n) of what an America n woma n lear ned about the America n man she was sta nding behi nd in a line in a post office. In about eight minu tes, he revealed that: (1) he wasmarried and his wife was about to have a baby; (2) he was un happy with his job as a salesma n and was con sideri ng a "mid-life" caree ③ cha nge (not un com mon in the Un ited States); (3) he and his wife were tryi ng to figure out (work out) if it would be better to work harder or totake more time off (take holidays, ask for leave) from work so that they could relax more.[5] This is perhaps an extreme example (eve n for many America ns) of how stra ngers reveal aspects (particular parts or feature of a situation, an idea, a problem, etc) of their lives to each other. To many people around the world, this openness (frankness, the quality of not being confined or covered) would be considered abnormal (not normal, unusual) and even (suspect-〉)suspicious. Some would stereotype (vt. to form a fixed idea about a person or thing which may not really be true) this man and might say, "Well, he's a salesma n. What do you expect?" While many America ns would find his openness excessive, this type of person is not a rayi④.Diversity in Pers onal Relatio nships[6] In the United States, men and women socialize (to meet and spend time with people in a frien dly way, in order to enjoy yourself) relatively freely and develop a variety of relati on ships. To people from cultures where con tact betwee n the sexes is limited (or eve n forbidde n), this variety can be confusing. Single and married people of the opposite sex may be close friends and share pers onal problems without being roma ntically invo Ived. College stude nts and others may eve n live with some one of the opposite sex for practical reas ons only. That is, they may be frie nds (without any roma ntic connection) who feel that they are compatible (they can have a good relati on ship because they have similar ideas, in terests, etc.) as "roommates" or "housemates." In con trast, many men and women decide to live together before they are married to see how compatible they are. Some of these relati on ships end up i n (result in) successful marriages; others break up (end, dismiss) before (and some after) marriage. In many parts of the Un ited States (although not all), there are few restricti ons (limits) on the types of relati on ships people can have. This does n ot mea n that you will see non traditi onal relati on ships everywhere you go to the Un ited States. However, i n some of the big cities and in areas not characterized as "conservative (opposed to great or sudden social cha nge; show ing that you prefer traditi onal styles and values)," you will see a great deal of varietyof types of pers onal relati on ships.[7] In the United States, marriage relationships, of course, different from couple to couple, but there are some gen eralities (major characteristics) that can be made. Some married men and wome n con sider themselves to be best friends as well as spouses. This con cept is unu sual in some cultures particularly where the marriage is arranged or is a marriage of convenience基于禾U害关系的婚姻)⑤.Some foreigners in the United States have mentioned that is impossible for a spouse to be a best friend. On the other hand, some America ns hold the same belief, but probably not for cultural reas ons.[8] Many people remarry if they have been divorced or widowed (if sb is widowed , their husband or wife has died). Remarriage has no stigma (feelings of disapproval that people haveabout particular illnesses or ways of behaving) in the United States. In fact, some widowed or divorced people are en couraged by their grow n childre n to con ti nue to socialize and eve n remarry. In deed, many older people feel that they have a right to con ti nued happ in ess in pers onal relati on ships regardless of their age. Therefore, more people have bee n seek ing compa nion ships with new friends in their "golden years."⑥Mobility and Frie ndship[9] America ns are geographically mobile (able to move or travel around easily), and many lear n to develop friendships easily and quickly. Approximately (About) one out of every American families moves every year. People relocate (to move or to move sb/sth to a new place to work or operate) becausethey changejobs, attend distant colleges, get married, have children, or simply want a change in their lives. Perhaps as a consequenee (as a result), people sometimes form and end frien dships quickly. Stude nts atte nd two or three uni versities duri ng their un dergraduate (years) and graduate years may change their "circle of friends" several times. Likewise (二Similarly), people who cha nge their jobs, while keep ing one or two friends from the orig inal place of employme nt,may also cha nge their circle of frien ds.[10] Relati on ships based on a com mon activity may fade (to disappear gradually) or end whe n the activity en ds. Mothers may meet while droppi ng_their_childre n_off at nu rsery school and rema in friends until their kids go to different schools. The same holds (=is) true for neighbors who are closest frie nds un til one moves away. These frie ndships are not deep but are based upon shared (com mon) daily experie nces. Many America ns, in gen eral, do have en duri ng (last ing for a long time) friendships, but at certain points in their lives can be satisfied with transient (continuing for only a short time) relatio nships. In cultures where people have only lifetime frie nds (in part because they do not move from city to city), these temporary (lasting or intended to last or be used only for a short time; not perma nent) relati on ships are hard to un dersta nd. But many America ns move so ofte n that learning to make friends quickly becomes a necessary (survive->) survival skill.Notes①This text is adapted from Beyond Language: Cross-Cultural Communication, which helps stude nts un dersta nd and adapt to cultural differe nces and values whe n com muni cati ng with speakers of America n En glish.②to strike up a conv ersati on : to in itiate or beg in a conv ersati on.③midlife career: Midlife is a normal developmental life stage.

Unit 8Literary WorksPreviewNobody grows old by merely living a number of years. They must have undergone disappointment and despair。

For them, life is truly a box of chocolates except that it is black and bitter:years wrinkle their skin,loneliness is taking away the dim light,and the reality is a horrible truth of vanity。

A clean and well—lighted place thus is the only refuge from the darkness of the world outside。

Globalization also poses tensions and dilemmas to countries integrated to the world economy. One tension of globalization is associated with the fact that in a more interdependent and interlinked world economy, any adverse global or regional shock, for example, the Asian and Russian crisis of 1997-98, is rapidly propagated to the other economies. The propagation mechanism at work can be a decline in the import volume and/or changes in the real price of commodities (oil, copper, timber, rubber, etc). Economies that depend heavily on a few commodities as their main source of export earnings and fiscal revenues can be hit hard by these shocks. This has been the case of Mexico, Indonesia, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Russia with the drop in oil prices, and Chile with the decline in copper prices, to give some examples. Another transmission mechanism is asset markets. Highly integrated markets tend to transmit global, regional or local shocks much more rapidly than in past decades when financial markets were less integrated. As the volumes of financial intermediation and currency transactions are enormous nowadays, shocks can greatly be amplified in more or less synchronized fashion with destabilizing effects on many economies. Another tension of globalization lies in social effects. As globalization is often associated with increased instability of output and employment, this affects, among other things, job security. As labor income is the main source of earnings for the majority of population, job insecurity is socially disruptive and brings tension to the fabric of society.

专业学位硕⼠研究⽣英语教程10Unit10GlobalizationPreviewWhen scholars write the history of the world in the last two decades, what do they think was the most crucial development?The attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11? The convergence of technology and events that allowed India, China, and so many other countries to become part of the global supply chain for services and manufacturing, giving themselves a huge new stake in the success of globalization? And with this "flattening" of the globe, has the world gotten too small and too fast for human beings and their political systems to adjust in a stable manner?Part I Text ReadingWarm-upI. Facts about globalization.Globalization is the process by which the people of the world are unified into a single socie ty and function together. Decide which of the following phenomena are the facts of globalization.1. There are approximately 24,500 McDonald's restaurants in over 115 countries.2. It is estimated that participants of the Beijing Olympics has reached 11,468 involving 205 countries.3. More than 100,000 people joined a parade in 1999 to protest against a WTO ministerial meeting in Seattle.4. The Berlin Wall collapsed on November 9, 1989.5. Chinese fans enjoyed Harry Potter VI: the Half-blood Prince on the same day with fans around the globe.6. Columbus made a fourth voyage in search of the Strait of Malacca to the Indian Ocean on 11 May 1502.II. Three stages of globalization.For Friedman, globalization has undergone three stages which he classifies as Globalization 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0. Match the three eras of globalization with their featuresIII. Is globalization good or bad?Globalization has met praise and criticism since the beginning day. Read the following Pros and Cons about globalization, and voice your own idea.Pros:1. Increased free trade between nations.2. Increased liquidity of capital allowing investors in developed nations to invest in developing nations.3. Global mass media that ties the world together.4. Greater ease and speed of transportation for goods and people.5. Reduction of cultural barriers increases the global village effect.6. Reduction of likelihood of war between developed nations.Cons:1. Increased likelihood of economic disruptions in one nation effecting all nations.2. Threat that control of world media by a handful of corporations will limit cultural expression.3. Greater risk of diseases being transported unintentionally between nations.4. Spread of a materialistic lifestyle and attitude that sees consumption as the path to prosperity5. International bodies like the World Trade Organization infringe on national and individual sovereignty.6. Increase in the chances of civil war within developing countries and open war between developing countries as they vie for resources.Text11/9 Versus (vs/ v.s.=against) 9/11①Thomas L. Friedman[1] Reflecting on this past decade and a half, during which the world went flat, it strikes me that our lives have been powerfully shaped by two dates: 11/9 and 9/11.[2] These two dates represent the two competing forms of imagination at work (=working) in the world today: the creative imagination of 11/9 and the destructive imagination of 9/11. One brought down a wall and opened the windows of the world —both the operating system and the kind we look through. It unlocked half the planet and made the citizens there our potential partners and competitors. Another brought down the World Trade Center②, closing its windows on the World restaurant forever and putting up new invisible and concrete walls among people at a time when we thought 11. The dismantling (=demolishing, razing, ruining) of the Berlin Wall③on 11/9 was brought about (realized) by people who dared to imagine a different, more open world—one whereevery human being would be free to realize his or her full potential—and who then summoned (convoke, assemble, call, convene) the courage to act on that imagination.[3] Do you remember how it happened? It was so simple, really: In July 1989, hundreds of East Germans (seak->) West German embassy in Hungary. In September 1989,Hungary decided with Austria. That meant that any East German who got into to Austria and the free world. Sure enough, more thanon the East German government. When in November it announced plans travel restrictions, tens of thousands of East Germans converged (gathereds) on the Berlin Wall, where, on 11/9/89, border guards just opened the gates.[4] Someone there in Hungary, maybe it was the prime minister, maybe it was just a bureaucrat (official), must have said to himself or herself, "Imagine—imagine what might happen if we opened the border with Austria." Imagine if the Soviet Union were frozen in place. Imagine—imagine if East German citizens, young and old, men and women, were so emboldened (encouraged) by seeing their neighbors flee (escape) to the West that one day they just swarmed (a large group of insects, or people, moving together in the same direction) that Berlin Wall and started to tear it down? Some people must have had a conversation just like that, and because they did, millions of Eastern Europeans were able to walk out from behind the Iron Curtain④and engage with (join) a flattening world. It was a great era (time or age) in which to be an American. We were the only superpower, and the world was our oysters⑤(牡蛎). There were no walls. Y oung Americans could think about traveling,for a semester (term, one of the two periods that the school or college year is divided into) or a summer, to more countries than any American generation before them. Indeed, they could travel as far as their imagination and wallets could take them. They could also look around at their classmates and see people from more different countries and cultures than any other class before them.[5] Nine-eleven, of course, changed all that. It showed us the power of a very different kind of imagination. It showed us the power of a group of hateful men who spent several years imagining how to kill as many innocent people as they could. At some point Bin Laden⑥and his gang literally (actually) must have looked at one another and said, "Imagine if we actually could hit both towers of the World Trade Center at the exact right spot, between the ninety-fourth and ninety-eighth floors. And imagine if each tower were to come crashing down like a house of cards." Y es, I am sorry to say, some people had that conversation, too. And, as a result, the world that was our oyster seemed to close up like a shell. There has never been a time in history when the character of human imagination wasn't important, but writing this book tells me that it has never been more important than now, because in a flat world so many of the inputs and tools of (collaborate->) collaboration are becoming commodities (=goods, merchandise) available to everyone. They are all out there for anyone to grasp.[6] There is one thing, though, that has not and can never be commoditized—and that is imagination. When we lived in a more centralized, and more vertically organized, world—where states had a near (=almost) total (thorough) monopoly (the complete control of trade in particular goods or the supply of a particular service) of power—individual imagination was a big problem when the leader of a superpower state—a Stalin, or a Hitler—became warped [(of a person ) having ideas that most people think are strange or unpleasant].[7] But today, when individuals can easily access all the tools of collaboration and superpowerthemselves, or their small cells, individuals do not need to control a country to threaten large numbers of other people. The small can act very big today and pose a serious danger to world order—without the instruments of a state. Therefore, thinking about how we stimulate positive imaginations is of the utmost importance. As Irving Wladawsky Berger, the IBM computer scientist, put it to me: We need to think more seriously than ever about how we encourage people to focus on productive outcomes that advance and unite civilization—peaceful imaginations that seek to "minimize alienation and celebrate interdependence rather than self-sufficiency, inclusion rather than exclusion," openness, opportunity, and hope rather than limits, (suspect->) suspicion, and grievance (something that you think is unfair and that you complain or protest about). [8] Let me try to illustrate (show) this by example. In early 1999, two men started airlines from scratch (from the very beginning), just a few weeks apart. Both men had a dream involving airplanes and the savvy (practical knowledge or understanding of sth) to do something about it. One was named David Neeleman. In February 1999, he started JetBlue⑦. He assembled $130 million in venture capital, bought a fleet of Airbus A-320 passenger jets, recruited (enlisted/ enrolled) pilots and signed them to seven-year contracts, and outsourced (to arrange for sb outside a company to do work or provide goods for that company) his reservation system to stay-at-home moms and retirees living around Salt Lake City Utah, who booked passengers on their home computers.[9] The other person who started an airline was, as we now know from the 9/11 Commission Report, Osama bin Laden. At a meeting in Kandahar (坎⼤哈), Afghanistan, in March or April 1999, he accepted a proposal initially drawn up by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the Pakistan-born mechanical engineer who was the architect of the 9/11 plot (a secret plan). JetBlue's (喷⽓机) motto (座右铭, 题词) was "Same Altitude. Different Attitude". Al-Qaeda's (基地组织) motto was "Allahu Akbar⑧". [According to WikiIslam (/doc/eba4860df78a6529647d5363.html /wiki/Main_Page), “Allah” means “God”, “(Akbar” means “greater” while “(??(kebir) means “ Great”)]Notes①This text is excerpted from The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century, which is an international bestselling book by Thomas L. Friedman that analyzes globalization, primarily in the early 21st century. The title is a metaphor for viewing the world as a level playing commerce, where all competitors have an equal opportunity. The book was firstwas later released as an "updated and expanded" edition in 2006, and yet again released with additional updates in 2007 as "further updated and expanded: Release 3.0".②The World Trade Center (WTC) was a complex in Lower Manhattan whose seven buildings were destroyed in 2001 in the September 11 terrorist attacks. The site is currently being rebuilt with six new skyscrapers and a memorial to the casualties of the attacks.③The Berlin Wall was a physical barrier completely encircling West Berlin, separating it from the German Democratic Republic (GDR) (East Germany), including East Berlin. Both borders came to symbolize the Iron Curtain between WesternEurope and the Eastern Bloc. The wall separated East Germany from West Germany for more than a quarter of a century, from the day construction began on 13 August 1961 until the Wall was brought down on 9 November 1989.④The Iron Curtain symbolized the ideological and physical boundary dividing Europe intotwo separate areas from the end of World War II in 1945 until the end of the Cold War in 1991. On either side of the Iron Curtain, states developed their own international economic and military alliances. The Iron Curtain took the shape of border defenses between the countries of Western and Eastern Europe, most notably the Berlin Wall, which served as a longtime symbol of the Curtain asa whole.⑤...the world was our oyster: originating from Shakespeare's play The Merry Wives of Windsor (Act 2, scene 2, 2-5): Why then the world's mine oyster, Which I with sword will open. If you boast that "The world's my oyster" nowadays, you're claiming that the world's riches are yours to leisurely pluck from the shell. "The world's my oyster" has become merely a conceited proclamation of opportunity.⑥Bin Laden: a member of the prominent Saudi Bin Laden family and the founder of the terrorist organization al-Qaeda, best known for the September 11 attacks on the United States and its associations with numerous other mass-casualty attacks against civilian targets.⑦JetBlue: JetBlue Airways is an American low-cost airline owned by JetBlue Airways Corporation. The company is headquartered in the Forest Hills neighborhood of the New Y ork City borough of Queens. Its home airport is John F. Kennedy International Airport.⑧Allahu Akbar: a Muslim saying. It is often used in situations ranging from a greeting to an expression of strong sentiments. It is most correctly translated as "God is greater".W ord Bankalienation: a turning away; estrangement疏远,疏离altitude: the height of a thing above a reference level⾼度,海拔assemble: to bring or call together into a group or whole召集bureaucrat: an official of a bureaucracy官僚collaboration: the act of working with another or others on a joint project协作commission: a group of people officially authorized to perform certain duties or functions调查团commoditize: to make sth. bear the feature of being a commodity商品化commodity: something useful that can be turned to commercial or other advantage⽇⽤品,商品concrete: of or relating to an actual, specific thing or instance具体的,实际的converge: to tend toward or approach an intersecting point汇聚destructive: causing or wreaking destruction; ruinous破坏,破坏性的dismantling: the act of taking apart or tearing down拆开,分解embassy: a building containing the offices of an ambassador and staff⼤使馆embolden: to foster boldness or courage in使⼤胆,使有胆量exclusion: the act or practice of excluding 排除flattening: being flat扁平的gang: a group of criminals or hoodlums帮派grievance: a feeling of resentment or injustice at having been unfairly treated抱怨;委屈hateful: feeling or showing hatred憎恨的instrument: a means by which something is done; an implement⼿段;⼯具invisible: impossible to see; not visible看不见的minimize: to reduce to the smallest possible amount, extent, size, or degree最⼩化outsource: to buy in (components for a product) rather than manufacture them外界供应oyster: any of several edible bivalve mollusks牡蛎potential: capable of being but not yet in existence潜在的,可能的refuge: a place providing protection or shelter庇护所reservation: the act of reserving保留restriction: the act of restricting限带,限定retiree: one who has retired from active working life退休者spot: a place of relatively small and definite limits场所;地点stimulate: to excite (a nerve, organ, etc.) with a stimulus刺激;激发summon: to call together召集;召唤swarm: to move in or form a large number成群移动或出现unlock: to undo or set free打开;释放utmost: of the highest or greatest degree, amount, or intensity; most extreme极度的,最⼤的versus: against与……相对warp: to turn or twist (wood, for example) out of shape扭曲Phrases and Expressionsbring about: to cause to happen造成bring down: to cause to fall打倒,击落draw up: to prepare a draft of (a legal document) 草拟look through: to examine查阅;审校reflect on: to think over思考;反省Reading ComprehensionChoose the best for each of the following.1.

In the mean time, the (3) destructive imagination of 9/11 brought down the World Trade Center, throwing the world into chaos and panic.Eleven-nine arose from a simple event in which hundreds of East Germans sought (4) refuge at the West German (5) embassy in Hungary in July 1989. As a result, Hungary decided to lift the (6) restrictions on the passage to Austria, which made it possible for thousands of East Germans to (7) escape to Austria and thus to West Germany. The impending (8) pressure drove the East German government to (9) remove travel ban. Thus on 11/9/89, East Germans gathered to break down the Berlin Wall.However, 9/11 changed the way in which the world got flattened peacefully and positively. Bin Laden and his gang might have plotted to hit both towers of the World Trade Center at the exact right (10) spot.
