I'm totally in love with this whole concept.Our lives are made up of lots and lots of little things, and a lot of those little things for most people have to do with getting from place to place.

And so there is a big part of my life that's missing, and there is a big part of my life that a self-driving vehicle would bring back to me.This is the first step for us and it's really exciting to see the progress we've made. The opportunities for people to just move around, and not worry about it. It's gonna be incredibly empoweringand incredibly powerful for people.I love this!Reading & InteractingI.

Comprehensive PracticeThose who champion the cause of artificial intelligence are celebrating a breakthrough. For computer scientists have managed to crack the problem of how to construct a computer that can play the ancient game of Go better than humans. In tournaments with grand masters the computer has got the better of them, defeating one opponent after another. Some welcome the greater power of computers, arguing they will be willing slaves in helping us tackle our problems. Others, like the great scientist Stephen Hawking, fear computers may eventually become independent of us and bring the reign of human beings to an end.I am a race car designer. In recent years I have been greatly interested in constructing a race car with artificial intelligence. In my imagination, the race car I'm going to invent will collect raw data through video cameras and sensors. It will have strong data processing abilities. It can adjust to the environment, deciding when to accelerate or slow down in a flexible manner. You know, race car drivers always rely on intuition when selecting strategies, but intuition may fail if the person is tense. Artificial intelligence never feels tense, so it is safer. Once I've tackled the challenging problems in design, I will build a new race car and take it to a tournament. I hope it will top all opponents and become a champion.Reading & ComprehendingReading 11. Comprehension Check for Reading 11. F2. T3. F4. F5. T6. T7. F8. T9. T 10. F2.

Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people，linguists believethat 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.★ Text BComprehension Check: c c c d b dLanguage Practice1. g e d c b h f a2. 1) give way to 2) predict 3) substantial 4) integrate 5) in transition 6) aspect7) to name a few 8) authority 9) dominate 10) had contributed to 11) unique12) rid yourself ofUnit 8VocabularyI. 1) barking 2) evil 3) brooding, hatched 4) migrant 5) tragedies 6) counterpart7) are complaining/complain 8) grim 9) flocks, fed on 10) vegetation11) patches 12) Scores of2. 1) was lined with people who came to welcome the distinguished foreign guests2) the boss silenced all lively conversation in the office3) wearing a pair of sun glasses, the famous movie star passed the crowded unnoticed.4) looked deserted 5) were stricken by it3. 1) patches, came into full bloom, were puzzled, mysterious2) throbbed with, sickened, migrant, a chorus 3) had crept into.

全新版大学英语综合教程2第二版课后习题答案

Unit 1Key to ExercisesPart I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nave a code that you can live by.And so, become yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lather's hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks,the one you'll mow by.Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just lookat them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I - 93 -And you, oi tender years,Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks,tbe one you'll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So justlook at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, "a code diat you can live by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and "become yourself." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children — "you of tender years" — also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children should share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such moments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.Part II Text AText Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2)His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3)He winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of a question.1.

You can't accomplish yourgoal of mastering the language unless you work at it for years. Well, it sounds as ifI'm exaggerating the difficulties, but the fact is I'm only telling the truth.2)The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of the children. Fromwhat she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. Shehas just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they applyto both Chinese and overseas teachers.3)The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art representtwo extremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected toeffectively assist children in learning because of the rigid structure. On the otherhand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totallyunstructured and out of control. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guidedapproach would be a superior way to guide children's development. This approachcombines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.

Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot expressyourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.U2Text AA Life Full of RichesI. Vocabulary1.

Men and women professors did the same work, but when it came to promotion the administrators were rather selective. It is ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institutions 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.Unit 7 Learning about EnglishText A The Glorious Messiness of EnglishI. Vocabulary1.

Translate the passageThough how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believethat English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: theIndo-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.。

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.NASA Next Giant LeapA)It was 45 years ago that Neil Armstrong took the small step onto the surface of the moon that changed the course of history. The years that followed saw a Space Age of scientific, technological and human research, on which we have built the modern era. Starting from the moon, we will move deeper into the solar system. The Apollo missions cleared a path for human exploration to the moon. Today we are extending that path to near-Earth asteroids(小行星), Mars and beyond.B)We are building on the Apollo program accomplishments to test and fly novel(新的), cutting-edge(尖端) technologies today for tomorrow missions. As we develop and test the newtools of 21st century spaceflight on the ourneyo Mars, we once again will change the course of history.C)The path to Mars begins with research on Earth and extends beyond its bounds, aboard the orbiting laboratory of the International Space Station, with our international partners. Some 250 miles above our heads, astronauts are conducting hundreds of experiments not possible on Earth, teaching us how humans can live, work and thrive(长得健壮) for longer periods in space.D)To help this nation send humans to deep space and return them to Earth safely, engineers across the country are developing a new space transportation tool that can travel far beyond our home planet. The Orion spacecraft and Space Launch System (SLS) heavy-lift rocket will be the most advanced space vehicles ever built. Together, they will take us farther into the solar system than humans have ever traveled. They are our spaceship to Mars and beyond.E)As we turn our eyes toward Mars, we are designing missions to take us to a roving ground?around the moon called cis-lunar(月球周围) space, where some of the very building blocks of the solar system can be explored.F)Near-Earth asteroids provide a unique opportunity we need for future human missions to Mars. Around 2019, we launch a robotic mission to reach a near-Earth asteroid. The spacecraft either will capture an entire asteroid or take a part off a much larger asteroid, then redirect the asteroid mass to a stable orbit(轨道) around the moon. Such missions will provide important information about the space to safely send humans to Mars.G)The new technologies we test by sending astronauts to study the asteroids in the cis-lunar space will make important advances to safely send humans to Mars. This includes tools like Solar Electric Propulsion, a highly efficient way to help us transport large objects and heavy cargo to support future Mars missions. NASA will continue to make significant investments in new technologies vital to achieving exploration goals. This includes advancements in entry, descent and landing technologies such as ow Density Supersonic Decelerators.H)Sending humans to deep space around the moon also will help advance techniques for space operations on and around Mars and its moons. The space around our moon is different than low-Earth orbit but very similar to what a spacecraft will experience on the trip to and from Mars. For instance, solar and cosmic radiation is intense. We also can use cis-lunar space to begin practicing activities in deep space, like spacewalks, and learn to cope with delays in communication with Earth because of the distance.I)Mars calls for us to explore. Missions to Mars could answer some of the fundamental questions of humanity: Does life exist beyond Earth? Could humans live on Mars in the future? J)The journey to answer these questions has risks, but the rewards for humanity are worth it. In our lifetime, NASA and the world will take the next giant leap to explore the red planet.______11.Preparation for the journey to Mars can start from a place near Earth.______12.People from different countries contribute to the exploration of Mars in one way or another.______13.Great benefits will be gained from missions to Mars.______14. A number of new technologies will be needed to send human beings to Mars.______15Despite the risks, it is worthwhile to take this great leap to explore Mars.______16.We are now standing on a new horizon, ready to take the next giant leap.______17.If we want to travel to Mars, a more powerful form of transportation is needed.______18.The cis-lunar space will serve as a genuine training ground.______19.New missions near Earth will provide new information before we really send a human being onto Mars.______20.The Apollo program has provided a strong base for our future explorations.Section CDirections: There are two passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneBelieve it or not, there is a whole generation of young people who would love to own a personal airplane but who have little or no interest in learning to fly. To satisfy demand from this new kind of traveler, futurists dream of building airplanes that will fly themselves with minimal input from their occupants(用户). Rather than planning a flight, checking weather and attending to all the other duties of pilot-in-command, the operators of these future aircrafts will simply hop in the front seat, press a few buttons (or merely speak to the flight computer) to input the desired destination and then kick back while the virtual(虚拟的) pilot does all the flying.It hard to imagine what level of understanding of aerodynamics(空气动力学) or aviation rules and regulations the operator of such a futuristic airplane would be required to possess, but for this concept to work the answer quite probably would have to be very little to none. After all, a 損ilot?who is so far removed from the decision-making processes and the actual hands-on flying of the airplane shouldn抰be depended on to take over in an emergency. Instead, these future general aviation airplanes will be little more than passenger-carrying UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle[无人驾驶航空器]).In such cases, trained pilots on the ground could be given access to the airplane controls through a secure datalink(数据链) connection, enabling the remote operator to take over ?for a fee, of course. It similar to a concept now being debated in the airline world, where future Boeing and Airbus jetliners would have only one pilot physically on board the airplane with ground-based copilots available to step in as needed.We may not like the idea, but as we are seen in the UAV world, such operations are already possible. As the technology evolves and matures to enable airplanes to fly and land automatically without any help from humans, there no reason why airplane manufacturers (制造商) 20 years from now might not start offering a cockpit as optional equipment.21.What do futurists dream of?A) Owning a personal airplane. B) Attending to the duties of a pilot.C) Making planes with automatic piloting. D) Flying an airplane by themselves.22.What is the main characteristic of the new kind of traveler?A) They have considerable interest in learning to fly.B) They like owning and flying a personal airplane.C) They like to speak to the flight computer.D) They want to fly an airplane with minimal efforts.23.Which of the following is true of the virtual pilot on such futuristic airplanes?A) It is not as good as a human pilot. B) It knows everything about aerodynamics.C) It can easily replace a human pilot.D) It can take over in times of emergency.24.It is still necessary for human pilots on the ground to control such a plane because ______.A) such a plane is no more than an unmanned aerial vehicleB) the virtual pilot cannot handle an emergencyC) human pilots can make more money for thisD) there is a datalink connection to the controls25.Which of the following can serve as a proper title for the passage?A) The New Kind of Traveler C) The Virtual PilotB) The Fully Automated Airplane D) The Removed Human PilotPassage TwoNASA is now trying to make a spaceship that is much better than other ships.If we look at the things we need for our super spaceship, there seems to be one that is the most important. The spacecraft has to be as light as it can be. Weight costs money!A new discovery might allow spacecraft to be lighter. Imagine something that is stronger than steel but also weighs less. A new material called arbon nanotube?碳纳米管) might be the answer to the weight problem of building a super spaceship. This material is 600 times stronger than steel.One of the big problems with space travel is the radiation that in space. On Earth, our atmosphere protects us from radiation. In space, however, astronauts need protection against harmful rays.You might think that the metal on a spaceship is the answer. But, metals are the worst for shielding against very dangerous space rays. These rays are made of little pieces called ions(离子). When the ions hit metals at very high speeds, they can break an atom and cause another type of ray to form. These new rays can be worse than the radiation the metal skins were supposed to stop.You see why it is so important to block out these rays.But, we could use carbon nanotubes to make the skins of spacecraft. Nanotubes look a little like chicken wire that is too small to see.Things that are light in weight seem to work the best against these ions. When the rays hit lighter things, very little new radiation is made. The rays are stopped outside the spacecraft and new rays aren’t made.In addition, our super spaceship needs to be able to repair itself. This might really be possible. Humans can feel the smallest pinpricks(针刺) because of tiny sensors that send signals to our brains. Tiny sensors like ours could be built in the new ships. Each sensor could send messages to the computer rain?of the spacecraft. If something needed to be fixed, the computer could tell the ship to do it.Just as amazing as a car would be to someone 200 years ago, our nanotube spaceship might seem to us. We might actually make the spacecraft of tomorrow, using the technology of today.26.What is NASA trying to do?A) To make carbon nanotubes. B) To protect astronauts from ions.C) To make a new discovery.D) To build a super spaceship.27.Carbon nanotubes could be used to make the skins of spacecraft because ______.A) they are much lighter than metalB) they are 600 times stronger than steelC) they can shield the spacecraft from radiationD) they can break ions in space rays28.What will happen when ions hit the metal on a spaceship?A) Some worse radiation will be produced.B) All radiation will be blocked out.C) The metal on the spaceship will break up.D) The ions will move at high speeds.29.Tiny sensors will be built into the new spaceship so that ______.A) the computer brain can feel the smallest pinpricksB) the spaceship can have human sensationsC) the sensors can send signals to the spaceshipD) the spaceship will be capable of repairing itself30.What is the passage mainly about?A) How to build a future spaceship.B) How to make use of carbon nanotubes.C) How to protect astronauts in space.D) How to block out radiation.Part III TranslationDirections: Translate the passage from Chinese into English.周六，在戈壁滩发射基地——甘肃省酒泉卫星发射中心，神舟九号飞船载着中国第一位女宇航员升空。
