PART B

Passage I:

The population of the world has been increasing faster and faster. In 10,000 B.C., there were probably 10 million people. In A.D. 1, there were 300 million. It took 1750 years for the population to reach 625 million, a little more than double the A.D. 1 figure. In 1990, there were 5.3 billion people. By the year 2000, the world's population was over 6 billion, and by 2050, it is expected to reach 10 billion. Does the earth have enough natural resources to support this many people? Different scientists give different answers to this question. Some say that there are enough resources to support more than 6 billion people. However, the richest countries, with a small percentage of the world's population, use most of the resources. If these resources could be distributed more equally around the world, there would be enough for everyone. Other scientists say that we must limit population growth because our resources are limited. Only 10 percent of the earth's land can be used for farming and another 20 percent for raising animals. It is possible to increase the amount of farmland, but only a little. Some land in developing countries could be more productive if people started using modern farming methods, but this would not increase worldwide production by much, We all know that there is a limited amount of petroleum. There are also limits to the amounts of metals. There is a limit to the amount of water we can use since most of the earth's water is salt water, and most of the fresh water is frozen at the North and South Poles. It is difficult to say how many

people the earth can support, but it will help everyone if we can limit population growth before serious shortages develop. The problem is how to do it.

1. Between 1990 and 2000, what changes did the world population have?

2. According to some scientists, which of the following is true?

3. Why can't most of the earth's water be used?

4. In developing countries, what does the use of medern farming methods result in?

5. According to the author, what can you infer from the passage?

II 1.There were probably 10 million people.

2.It is expected to be 10 billion.

3.If the resources could be distributed more equally around the world, there would be enoueh for everyone.

4.Only 10 percent.

5. It is how to limit population growth.

Passage II:

Fresh water, life itself, has never come easy in the Middle East. Ever since the Old Testament when God punished man with 40 days and 40 nights of rain, water supplies here have been dwindling. The rainfall only comes in winter and drains quickly through the semiarid land, leaving the soil to bake and to thirst for next November. The region's accelerating population growth, expanding agriculture, industrialization, and higher living standards demand more fresh water. Drought and pollution limit its availability. War and mismanagement squander it. Nations like Israel and Jordan are swiftly sliding into that zone where they are using all the water resources available to them. They have only 15 to 20 years left before their agriculture, and ultimately their food security, is threatened. Even amid the scarcity there are haves and have-nots. Compared with the United States, which has a freshwater potential of 10,000 cubic meters a year for each citizen. Iraq has 5,500. Turkey has 4,000, and Syria has little more than 2,800. Egypt's potential is only 1,100. Israel has 460, and Jordan has less than 260. But these are not firm figures, because upstream use of river water can dramatically alter the potential downstream. Scarcity is only one element of the Middle East’s water cri sis. Inefficiency is another, as is the reluctance of some water-poor nations to change priorities from agriculture to less water-intensive enterprises. Some experts suggest that if these nations would share both water technology and resources, they could satisfy the region's population, currently 159 million. But in this patchwork of ethnic and religious rivalries, the water crisis is not a clear-cut issue. It is entangled in the politics that keep people from trusting and seeking help from one another. Here, where water, like truth, is precious, each nation tends to find its own water and supply its own truth.

1. When does the rainfall come in the Middle East?

2. What is the cause of the water crisis?

3. How many years are left for Israel and Jordan before their agriculture is threatened?

4. What is the current population in the Middle East according to the passage?

5. According to some experts' suggestion, what should the nations do in order to avoid a water crisis ?

Lesson Two Crime and Punishment

Part A

1.M: Hello?

W: Hello. This is Dr. Grey's office. We are calling to remind you of your 4:15 appointment for your annual checkup tomorrow.

M: Oh, thanks. It's a good thing you called. I thought it was 4:15 today.

Q: Why is the office calling the man?

2. W: How wonderful! You won the scholarship. Can you believe it?

M: No. It's almost too good to be true.

Q: What does the man mean?

3. W: Excuse me, Professor Davidson. But I was hoping to talk to you about my class project for economics.

M: I have a class in a few minutes. Why don't you come and see me during office hours tomorrow?

Q: When will the woman discuss her project with Professor Davidson?

4. M: How are you feeling? W: The stuff the nurse gave me seemed to have helped. But it's making me awfully drowsy.

Q: What do you learn about the woman?

5. M: Bill Smith has volunteered to write a summary of the proposals we've agreed on. W: Will I have a chance to review it?

Q: What does the woman want to know?

6.M: The view is spectacular. Could you take a picture of me with the mountains in the background?

W: I'm afraid I just ran out of film.

Q: What problem does the woman have?

7. W: Excuse me, we're ready to order now.

M: I'll be with you in just a minute.

Q: What does the man mean?

8. W: I think I forgot my umbrella. Did you notice if it is raining outside?

M: Yeah, it is. And I just realized I left my car window open.

Q: What will the man probably do next?

9. W: How does your daughter like her new school?

M: Fine. She seems to have made new friends in no time.

Q: What can be inferred about the man's daughter?

10. W: There's an article here in this magazine you might find interesting. It's about buying running shoes.

M: If it's not chemistry and it's not on the final exam, I can't read it now.

Q: What is the man probably doing?

11. M: You're washing your car even on vacation. It makes me feel guilty.

W: You shouldn’t, it’s just that I have nothing better to do a t this moment.

Q: What do you think of the woman?

12. M: My doctor told me I need to go for some expensive treatments for my injured knee.

W: Are you sure? Maybe you need a second opinion.

Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?

13. W: Hello. Could you fit me in for an appointment today? I need a stylist who is good at cutting curly hair.

M: Julia is good at that. She is the owner. How about noon?

Q: What will the woman probably do?

14. W: There's nothing I like more than a good mystery novel when I've got some spare time.

M: I like to read, too. But I prefer non-fiction, history, social commentary and stuff like that.

Q: What does the man imply?

15. M: I'm not an expert, but that noise in your refrigerator doesn't sound good. Maybe you should call and have it checked out.

W: You're right. And I suppose I've put it off long enough.

Q: What will the woman probably do?

Passage I

Purse snatching is an increasingly common crime. There are estimated 50 to 100 purse snatchings each month in the New York City subways, the number often swinging widely because of the depredations of a single teenager. When such a professional is in custody, the snatches can decrease by more than 50 a month. One of the favored techniques is to stand between two subway cars and, as a train starts pulling out of the station, reach out and pull free a woman's purse.

Recently, a crime analysis officer for the New York Police Department found that purse stealing in Manhattan's top restaurants was up 35 percent over the previous year. When a woman puts her purse on an empty chair at a table or at her feet beside

her chair, she is inviting a purse snatcher to take it. Purse snatchers often work in pairs. When a target in a restaurant is seen, one of them will create some kind of disturbance to gain the victim's attention. While the woman is looking away from her table, the actual snatcher will lift the purse. A popular technique is for the thief to carry an umbrella with the curved handle down. The umbrella handle suddenly hooks the bag and in an instant it is on the thief's wrist, or under the coat over his arm if he is a man, and on its way out of the restaurant. Police advise that women in restaurants keep their purse either on their laps or on the floor between their legs.

Other purse snatchers who operate in theaters are called "seat tippers", victimizing women who put their purses down on a neighboring empty seat. Others specialize in snatching purses from ladies' rooms. When a woman is in a toilet stall, her purse should never be placed on the floor or hung on the coat hook on the door. Thieves simply dive under the door and grab the purse on the floor, or stand on the toilet in the next stall and reach over and take the purse off the hook. The snatcher has enough time to escape since the victim can't immediately pursue the thief.

I. 1. When does the number of purse snatchings decrease most dramatically?

2. Where does a purse snatcher like to commit crimes in subway stations?

3. When women are in restaurants, where are they advised to put their purses?

4. What does a thief often use to snatch purses in restaurants?

5. According to this passage, where does purse snatching not usually occur?

II. crime analysis officer; take it; purses; in pairs; top restaurants; an empty chair; to some kind of disturbance; coat hook; snatching never be placed; in the next stall; enough time to escape

Passage II

On the afternoon of July4,1995, Mrs.Beatrice Weinberger brought her one-month old baby back from an outing. She left the pram outside her house and hurried inside to get the baby a clean nappy. When she returned a few moments later, the pram was empty and a scrawled note was lying where her baby had been. The note said: "Attention. I badly need money, and can't get it any other way. Don't tell the police about this, otherwise I will kill the baby." "Just put $2,000 in small bills in a brown envelope, and place it next to the road lamp at the corner of Albamarle Rd. at exactly 10 o'clock tomorrow (Thursday) morning." "If everything goes smooth, I will bring the baby back and leave him on the same corner 'safe and happy' at exactly 12 noon. No excuse, I can not wait! Your baby-sitter." Despite the kidnapper's warning, Mrs. Weinbarger contacted the police. A small parcel containing broken pieces of newspaper was placed on the comer the following morning. But the kidnapper did not show up. He failed to keep two other” appointments" with the Weinbergers, and left a second note signed "Your baby-sitter'. By then, the police felt that the baby was no longer alive. The FBI was called in, and the handwriting experts set to work to try to track down the kidnapper. In both notes an unusual z-shaped stroke was placed at the front of the y in words such as "money" and "baby". Starting with the New York State Police Office, the experts spent the next six weeks carefully going over local records

at police offices, factories, hotels, clubs and schools and examining handwriting samples and comparing them with the writing on the kidnapper's notes. Then, in the middle of August, the experts' hard efforts paid off. The handwriting of John Rush Blake matched that of the kidnapper's, especially in the peculiar formation of the y's. Not long after, John Blake was arrested for making illegal alcohol. On being shown the handwriting samples, he confessed to kidnapping the baby. He told the police that he had left the baby alive and well in a nearby park on the day after the kidnapping. But when officers hurried to the place, all they found was the baby's dead body. The criminal was later put into New York's Sing Sing Prison. Even if John Blake had tried to disguise his handwriting he would still have been caught. No matter how hard someone may try to disguise his handwriting characteristics, the "individuality" of the writer shows through, the very angle at which he or she holds a pen, the way a t is crossed and an i is dotted, the height and size of capital and small letters, the amount of space between words, the use (or misuse) of punctuation marks. All these can identify a person as surely as fingerprints.

I. 1. What happened to Mrs. Weinberger on the afternoon of July 4th, 1995?

2. According to the message left by the kidnapper, on what condition could Mrs. Weinberger have her baby back?

3. What did Mrs. Weinberger do after reading the note?

4. How did the FBI catch the criminal?

5. Which of the following words can best describe people's handwriting characteristics?

II. 1. ( T ) When Mrs. Weinberger came back from an outing something terrible happened to her.

2. ( T ) Someone kidnapped her baby because he lacked money.

3. ( F ) The kidnapper did not confess to die kidnapping of the baby in the face of the handwriting sample.

4. ( T ) It was the handwriting expert that broke the case.

5. ( F ) At last, the police found the baby and he was safe and happy.

Passage III.

Timothy McVaigh placed a powerful bomb near a federal government building in Oklahoma City in 1995. The explosion killed 168 people, including 19 children. Arguments are increasing in the United States both for and against the death penalty. The increasing death penalty debate is caused by the planned execution of convicted murderer McVeigh. He is to be the first person executed by the federal government since 1963. 38 states permit the death sentence. Last year 85 people were executed in the United States. Recent public opinion studies show that more than 75 percent of Americans supper McVeigh's execution. These include many Americans who usually oppose the death sentence. Kent Scheidegger is with the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation in Califomia. It is a victim's rights organization that supports the death penalty. Mr. Scheidegger says McVeigh is a perfect example of why there is a need for a federal death penalty. He says anything less than the death of McVeigh would

show a complete lack of justice. Groups opposed to the death penalty say the approval of the execution of McVeigh does not show an increase in general public support for the death penalty. Opinion studies show that support for the death penalty has decreased. Studies show 77 percent of Americans supported it five years ago, now only about 63 percent do, Opponents of the death penalty have always argued that it was unfair. They say poor people who can not pay for good legal help receive the death penalty more often than others. And they say courts order the death penalty more often when the accused is a member of a racial minority group.

Lesson Three Computers and the Internet Part A

1.M: This report is due tomorrow. Would you be able to work on it with me tonight? W: Unfortunately, I have another commitment.

Q: What is the woman saying?

2. W: I wonder where the books I ordered are. I expected to receive the package several days ago.

M: Maybe you'd better check it out with the company. They could be temporarily out of stock.

Q: What does the man suggest the woman do?

3. M: I just have to type this last page and then I'm through.

W: By then, I'll be done, too.

Q: What can be learned about the woman?

4. W: Did you read the editorial in the paper about the mayor's speech?

M: I sure did. But I think they twisted the meaning of what he said.

Q: What does the man say about the editorial?

5. W: Why don't we go to see a movie tonight? A good comedy might cheer you up. M: I would. But the reason that I've been so down is all this work I have to do.

Q: What can be inferred about the man?

6. W: So, are you going to see the students' play tonight?

M: I doubt it. I'm still getting over the flu.

Q: What is true about the man?

7. M: Gordon needs to find another place to live. The apartment he rents now has been sold to a new owner.

W: He'd better start looking right away. When all the students come back in a few weeks, he won't find any near the campus.

Q: What does the woman suggest Gordon do?

8. W: Mind if I borrow your Spanish workbook?

M: Not as long as I have it back in time to take to class this evening.

Q: What does the man mean?

9. W: You don't believe in diets, do you?

M: There is nothing wrong with them per se but they have to be combined with exercise to do any good.

Q: What is the man's attitude towards diets ?

10. W: I don't know which color folder to use, white or brown.

M: What difference does it make? It's the content that's important.

Q: What is the implication of the man?

11. W: You know, I've heard that Professor Martin's Introduction to Chemistry class is too demanding for first year students. They say it's the most difficult course for graduate students.

M: Yeah, but a lot of students will tell you otherwise. Go talk to anyone who has gone to an advanced course, like Organic Chemistry, or who studied chemistry in graduate school. They're really glad they started out with Professor Martin.

Q: What does the man imply about Professor Martin?

12. W: Hey, Mark. Have you been able to sell your old piano, yet?

M: Hmm, you were right. Just posting notices on bulletin boards at a couple of supermarkets wasn't enough. I think I'll have to place an advertisement in the local newspaper.

Q: Which of the following is true according to the conversation?

13. W: I'm amazed that you still haven't gotten to know your neighbors.

M: They tend to keep to themselves.

Q: Why hasn't the man gotten to know his neighbors?

14. W: Hi! Um, I think something is wrong with the washing machine. It works, and I just did my laundry, but it makes some strange noises. Maybe you should call someone to fix it.

M: Oh, don't worry. Someone from the repair shop is already on the way over to take a look at it.

Q: What is the implication of the man?

15. W: It's so thoughtful of you to offer to drop me off at the train station. Are you sure it's not out of your way?

M: Not at all. The station is really close to where I'm going.

Q: What can be learned about the man?

Passage I

The Application of Computers in Education The best method for improving educational standards is to utilize every tool available, including state-of-the-art technology. Computers and the internet have expanded the way in which information can be delivered to the students of today. Today's networking technologies provide a valuable opportunity to practise new learning techniques. Educators are discovering that computers are facilitating learning. Computer-based communications, or telecommunications, can offer many educational opportunities; therefore, educators will need to adapt current teaching methods to incorporate this new media into the classroom. Computers have made a fundamental impact on most industries, providing a competitive advantage that has come to be essential to many businesses. Therefore, schools must also use technology to improve the educational process. School systems often consider purchasing a computer network, and justify its purchase by applying it to routine administrative tasks, such as attendance records and grading. While these tasks are very important, they only show a small part of what technology can do for a school. Technology must go further than simply keeping attendance; it must focus on keeping students interested and productive. Since computers and the Internet have expanded the ways in which education can be delivered to students, it is currently possible to engage in "distance education" through the Internet. Distance education involves audio and video links between teachers and students in remote areas. Video conferencing allows groups to communicate with each other. Desktop video conferencing promises to bring students together from geographic and cultural distances face to face via computer. Not only will the teacher talk to the students, but the students will be able to interact with each other. This will make students more interested in learning.

I. 1. According to the passage, what are educators discovering?

2. What do schools usually purchase computer networks for?

3. According to the author, what should computers be mainly used for?

4. Which of the following is NOT a feature of video conferencing?

5. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

II. fundamental impact; be essential; improve the educational process; justify its purchase; attendance records; what technology can do

Passage II

E-Commerce The Internet, as a means for commerce, did not become reality until the 1990s. Before this time, it was mainly a tool for the army, and a research device for some American universities. Its popularity grew when it proved to be a fast and efficient means to conduct long distance transactions, as well as an effective way

to distribute information. The first advantage that e-commerce possesses is speed. With increased speeds of communication, the delivery time is expedited and that makes the whole transaction from start to finish more efficient. Also, you can find practically any product available for sale on the Internet. Even more significant is the fact that information appearing on the Internet can be changed rapidly. This gives business owners the ability to inform customers of any changes to the service that they are offering. The second advantage of electronic commerce is the opportunity it offers to save on costs. By using the Internet, marketing, distribution, personnel, phone, postage and printing costs, among many others, can be reduced. You can start doing business in cyberspace for as little as $100. The savings, therefore, are tremendous. These funds can then be diverted to marketing and advertising your product or service. Cyberspace knows no national boundaries. That means you can do business all over the world as easily as you can in your own neighborhood. Since the Internet connects everyone in cyberspace, information is transmitted at the speed of sound or the speed of light, depending on your connection. Either way, distance becomes meaningless, which enables you to link to nearly anyone on the globe, and anyone on the globe can link to you. The ability to establish links makes doing business on the Internet attractive to customers in any part of the world. A potential source of trouble is customer concerns with privacy and security. Anything sent over the Internet is sent through several different computers before it reaches its final destination. The concern regarding Internet security and privacy is that unscrupulous hackers can capture credit card or check account data as it is transferred or break into computers that hold the same information. Making a customer feel safe is important when doing business on the Internet. Even though no one can guarantee 100% security when transferring financial information over the Internet, e-commerce is still safer than using credit cards at an actual store or restaurant, or paying for something with the use of a 1-800 number."

I. l. Before being used for commerce, what was the Internet mainly used for?

Passage III

Computerized Systems

It was pointed out by a computer wag that a computerized system consists of three subsystems: hardware, software, and jellyware. Hardware is the computer itself -- the collection of slightly impure chunks of silicon dioxide and other metal oxides that sometimes conduct electricity and sometimes don't, but never conduct it very well. Basically, hardware is mostly sand with some metal and some organic plastic material

to hold it together. Software consists of the instructions necessary in order for the hardware to do things. The instructions are nothing more than signals indicating that certain pieces of hardware are to turn themselves on or off in specific sequences at specific times in specific areas of the hardware. The basic instructions are written or given in binary terms -- on or off-- and other software elements translate this to and from the more complex language used by the next element in the system. Jellyware is the human being who tells the hardware what to do, who gives the hardware its data, who utilizes the output of the hardware, who writes the software, and who uses the output of the software. Jellyware itself is a computer consisting of hardware and software. Jellyware is mostly water with specific and small amounts of impurities in certain locations. The jellyware's software is mostly preprogrammed with some RAM that is inputted as a result of experience. Hardware and jellyware differ only in the fact that hardware is made up of crystalline structures while jellyware consists of colloidal structures. The jellyware's operating systems appear to function in the parallel mode while those of the hardware operate in a series mode. However, the output of jellyware is one-channel sequential and series in form. Like hardware, jellyware can do only one thing at a time.

Part B

Passage I

The GoldRush One day in 1848, a remarkable discovery was made by a carpenter named Marshall. He happened to pick up some bright yellow particles from the water near his sawmill. Not knowing what they were, he took them to his master Mr. Suffer. Sutter immediately realized the importance of the discovery and sent a man to San Francisco to inform the govemor of it so that he could get permission to found a settlement on both banks of the river. Unfortunately in the beginning, the man did not believe it. Only after a reporter from a weekly newspaper went to Sutter's sawmill to make a report, did the news spread all over the USA, and even to Europe. Within a month, thousands and thousands of people hurried towards California to search for the valuable metal. Soldiers deserted the army, sailors left their ships and all sorts of people gave up their jobs so as not to miss the chance of becoming rich. Large number of Europeans joined in the search, too. Crowds of people, ships and wagon trains rushed to the same destination. This was the California Gold Rush. While this went on, families were broken up, husbands were taken away from their wives and children from their parents. On their way to California, lots of worshippers of gold lost their lives before they got a single particle of it. Some of them ware killed in storms at sea; some could not stand the extraordinary hardships, and died of hunger, cold or illness. The Gold Rush proved a disaster for Sutter himself. For years he tried to drive the prospectors off his land to keep the entire wealth for himself. The prospectors hated him very much, and did a great deal of damage to his business. All Sutter's houses were burned down and all his family, except for himself, were killed. At the end of his life, he became a beggar, who continually stopped passers-by in the street to tell them that gold is the devil.

1. What lesson can we draw from this story?

2. When did the news of the gold discovery spread all over the USA?

3. Why were many families broken up and husbands taken away from their wives?

4. What happened to Mr. Sutter in the end according to the story?

5. What does the story tell us?

II. 1. In 1848.

2. He picked them up from the water near his sawmill

3.He sent a man to San Francisco to inform the governor about it so that he would be allowed to search for them.

4.Thousands and thousands of people hurried towards California to search for the valuable metal.

5. They did much damage to his business, burned down his houses and killed his family.

Passage II. Functions of Money

There is an ancient rhyme about money which goes like this: "How many uses does money have? Four. A means, a measure, a standard, a store. " This rhyme forms an excellent basis for a discussion of the main features and functions of money. Money is a means, it is a means of exchange. It enables us to exchange goods and services. Things valued in terms of money become commodities; they can be bought and sold. Money, whenever it is available, provides the opportunity to obtain useful things or replace old things with new ones. The second thing our rhyme tells us is that money is a measure. It serves as a measure of value. It enables us to measure the value of all kinds of goods and services. The items sold by a large store may be very different from each other, but all without exception can be measured by the same measuring rod, namely money. Two things which are not similar in any way may have the same price. Thirdly, money is a standard of value. This means that money itself possesses a value which can remain approximately constant. To serve as a standard, a thing or a substance must remain fixed and unchangeable in comparison with other things. The amount of money in a country should vary, but it should vary in a regular way. It should correspond to the quantity and value of goods and services available for exchange and circulation in that country; if this quantity and value increases, the amount of money in circulation should be proportionately increased. Finally, money is a "store." We store money just as we store other things. Money does not go bad, though in times of financial crisis it may lose some of its value. It enables us to provide for future needs and situations. When we save money weekly or monthly and deposit it in a bank, our savings serve as a store of value in general; they give us the opportunity to make our choices later instead of making them immediately. When we store money we store the power to choose or to decide, so that we can use this power on future occasions.

1. How many functions does money have?

2. Why do we say that money is a means?

3. What is the main feature of commodities?

4. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

5. What happens to money in times of financial crisis?

II. 1. rhyme, 2.measure, features, functions measure of value. 3. similar, same price 4. "store", store other things 5. choose, decide, future occasions.

Passage III Credit Cards

Americans spend a lot of money in their daily lives. Working people spend money on transportation to and from work and on various expenses throughout the day. Americans enjoy shopping and buy many things that they need and want. They spend a lot of money on entertainment. They buy sports equipment, go to sporting events and do many things that cost money. However, many Americans don't pay with cash or write checks for these things. More and more, they pay for things with credit

cards. Credit cards are small, rectangular plastic cards. Banks give these cards to their customers. When the customer buys something at a store, he shows his card at the store. This authorizes the store to charge the bank for the customer's purchase. The bank collects all the charges for each customer. Then once a month the bank requires the customer to pay all the charges for that month. The bank does not force the customer to pay the full amount. It allows the customer to pay for the charges in several payments over a period of time. However, the bank requires the customers to pay high interest on the unpaid part of the charges. In this way the bank allows customers to buy things they can not afford at one time. People can use the card to buy what they want and pay for it over a period of time. They also do not need to carry a lot of money.

2015年 河海大学研究生英语一 Unit 11 The Iks

Unit 11 The Iks The small tribe of Iks, formerly nomadic hunters and gatherers in the mountain valleys of northern Uganda, have become celebrities, literary symbols for the ultimate fate of disheartened, heartless mankind at large. Two disastrously conclusive things happened to them: the government decided to have a national park, so they were compelled by law to give up hunting in the valleys and become farmers on poor hillside soil, and then they were visited for two years by an anthropologist who detested them and wrote a book about them. 小部落伊克人,曾经在乌干达北部山谷里过着狩猎和采集的游牧民族生活,已变成名人,总体来说,成了最终命运沮丧的、无情的人的人文象征。两件具有灾难性、决定性意义的事情发生在他们身上。政府决定建一座国家公园,所以他们依法被迫放弃在山谷里的狩猎生活,而变成贫瘠的山坡地里的农民。之后,一个憎恶他们的人类学家访问了他们两年,并写了一本关于他们的书。 The message of the book is that the Iks have transformed themselves into an irreversibly disagreeable collection of unattached, brutish creatures, totally selfish and loveless, in response to the dismantling of their traditional culture. Moreover, this is what the rest of us are like in our inner selves, and we will all turn into Iks when the structure of our society comes all unhinged. 书的主旨是说,伊克人已经将自己变成了无药可救的不友善的人渣,是独立的、野兽般的生物,完全的自私无情。这是对他们分崩离析的传统文化所做出的反应。此外,这也是我们内在本性的模样。当我们的社会结构全部瓦解时,我们都将变成伊克人。 The argument rests, of course, on certain assumptions about the core of human beings, and is necessarily speculative. You have to agree in advance that man is fundamentally a bad lot , out for himself alone , displaying such graces as affection and compassion only as learned habits . If you take this view, the story of the Iks can be used to confirm it. These people seem to be living together, clustered in small, dense villages, but they are really solitary, unrelated individuals with no evident use for each other. They talk, but only to make ill-tempered demands and cold refusals. They share nothing. They never sing. They turn the children out to forage as soon as they can walk, and desert the elders to starve whenever they can, and the foraging children snatch food from the mouths of the helpless elders. It is a mean society. 论点当然是建立在对人性的必要的推测性假设的基础上。首先,你得同意人性本恶,所表现出的喜爱和同情的优雅,仅仅是学到的习性,并非与生俱来。如果你持此观点,伊克人的故事就可以用来佐证。这些人表面上生活在一起,群居在小而密集的村庄,但是他们真的是独立的、没有关联的、对别人毫无明显作用的个人。他们聊天,但仅仅是提出坏脾气的要求,做出冷漠的拒绝。他们毫无分享,从不唱歌。他们将刚会走路的孩子赶出去寻找食物,将老人抛弃任由其饿死。觅食的孩子从无助的老者嘴下抢夺食物。这是个卑鄙自私的社会。 They breed without love or even casual regard. They defecate on each other’s doorsteps. They watch their neighbors for signs of misfortune, and only then do they laugh. In the book they do a lot of laughing, having so much bad luck. Several times they even laughed at the anthropologist, who found this especially repellent (one

Unit 16 The Role of Science Fiction The year 1972 was marked by this publication of a controversial book. The Limits to Growth. This study of the world’s future, done by a team of MIT scientists with the aid of computer “models” of the future of our society, forecast a planetwide disaster unless humankind sharply limits its population growth and consumption of natural resources. 1972年为世人所瞩目的一件事就是出版了一本颇有争议的书——《增长的极限》。这一有关世界前景的研究,是由麻省理工学院一组科学家借助模拟未来社会的电脑“模型”进行的,预言了人类若不大幅度限制人口增长和自然资源消耗,就会出现全球性的灾难。 Most people were caught by surprise when the book came out. Many refused to believe that disaster is possible, probable, inevitable---if we don’t change our mode of running Spaceship Earth. But science fiction people were neither surprised nor outraged. The study was really old news to them. They’d been making their own “models” of tomorrow and testing them all their lives. 该书问世时大多数人吃了一惊。许多人拒绝相信存在发生灾难的可能性、盖然性、必然性——倘使我们不改变对“地球飞船”的管理方式的话。但科幻小说家及其读者却既不惊讶,也不愤慨。事实上,这项研究对他们来说已不是什么新鲜事了。他们毕生都在制作自己的未来世界“模型”,并付诸试验。 For what the scientists attempted with their computer model is very much like the thing that science fiction writers and readers have been doing for decades. Instead of using a computer to “model” a future world society, science fiction writers have used their human imaginations. This gives the writers some enormous advantages. 因为科学家们试图用电脑模型实现的事与科幻小说作家及其读者数十年来所做的非常相象。科幻小说作家并不依靠电脑来“模拟”一个未来世界,而是凭借人类的想象力。这给了作家某些极为有利的条件。 One of the advantages is flexibility. 有利条件之一就是灵活性。 Science fiction writers are not in the business of predicting the future. They do something much more important. They try to show the many possible futures that lie open to us. 科幻小说作家的职责不在预言未来,他们做的比这重要得多。他们试图展现许多可能出现在我们面前的前景。 For there is not simply a future, a time to come that’s inevitable. Our future is built, bit by bit, minute by minute, by the actions of human beings. One vital role of science fiction is to show what kinds of future might result from certain kinds of human actions. 因为并非只有一种前途,一种时代会不可避免地降临人间。我们的未来世界是由人类用自身的行动一点一滴地、一分一秒地创造起来的。科幻小说的一个重要作用,便是揭示人类某几种行为的结果会形成哪几种未来世界。 To communicate the ideas, the fears and feel of all infinite possible futures, science fiction writers lean heavily on another of their advantages: the art of

Unit 11 The Iks Iks 小部落从前是游牧的猎人,聚居在乌干达北部的山谷中,现在这个部落变得很有名,整体上是灰心沮丧的,残忍冷酷的人类的终极命运的文学象征。两件确实是灾难的事发生在他们身上:政府决定拥有一个国家公园,所以他们被法律迫使放弃山谷中的打猎生活,在贫瘠的山坡的土壤上变成农民,然后一个讨厌他们,研究他们两年的人类学家写了一本关于他们的书。 这本书的主题是:由于传统文化的废除,IKs变成一群彼此毫无关系,残酷无情,而又绝对令人讨厌的人,他们完全的自私和冷酷。此外,这些特征正像我们内心的自己,当我们的社会结构完全错乱时,我们也将全部变成Iks。 这篇论文依据某种关于人类本质的设想,这种设想必然是推测而来的。你不得不预先同意人类从本质上讲是坏的,完全为了他自己,展现出来的例如爱和同情这样的美德仅仅是后天学到的习惯。如果你采纳这个观点,Iks人的故事便可以证实它。这些人似乎是一直生活在一起,聚居在拥挤的小村庄,但是他们都是一群真正的独居的无关联的个体,彼此间没有明显的好处。他们说话,但是只是做一些坏脾气的要求和冷漠的拒绝。他们不分享。他们从不唱歌。他们的孩子一能走路就被打发出去寻找食物,只要有可能他们便抛弃那些老人,使他们饿死,那些寻找食物的孩子从无助的老人口中抢夺食物。它是一个不友好的社会。 他们养育子女,但是不是出于爱,甚至也不是出于偶尔的关心。他们在彼此的台阶上随地大小便。他们观察他们的邻居,以等待不幸的降临,而且只有那时他们才大笑。在书中,他们经常笑,因为有太多厄运。好几次,他们甚至嘲笑人类学家,使人类学家发现这种嘲笑尤其令人反感(读者在字里行间发现,学者本身不是这世界上最幸运的人)。更糟糕的是,他们把他带到家中,抢夺他的食物,在他的台阶上大小便,并且呵斥人类学家。他们给他糟糕的两年。 它是一本令人沮丧的书。如果,正像他建议的那样,在我们每个人的心中只有IK人的特性,我们唯一的维系人性的希望,将是不断地修补我们社会的结构,然而我们的社会结构变得如此之快,如此之完全,以至于我们不能及时找到修补社会的方法。同时,让我们独自一个人相处,我们也会变得同样没有快乐,没有激情,没有同情心的孤独的动物。 但是这个观点也许太狭隘。首先,IKs人如此的不寻常,事实上,他们绝对令人震惊。人类学家从没有在其他任何地方见过这样的人,我也是。你们也许该想想,如果他们完全能代表人类的共性,那么他们似乎更加容易被辨认出来。然而,他们既稀奇古怪又非同寻常。我也知道一些古怪、执拗、神经质、自私的人,但是在我一生中,我从没有遇到真正的一直令人厌恶的人。Iks人看上去更像是反常的,有病的人。 我不能接受这个观点。我相信Iks人并不能代表孤立的,被揭示本性的人,社会习俗使人类的本质更加清晰分明。我相信他们的行为是额外的,外加给他们的,不是天生的。这种无休止的,强迫性的,令人讨厌的行为是一种复杂的仪式。他们一定通过学习才这样做的,他们通过某种方式模仿学来的。 我有一种理论。Iks人一定是疯了。 一个独处的Ik人,孤立于被土崩瓦解的文化废墟中,已经为自己建立起新的防御工事。如果你居住在一个不用工作的社会,你也可以建立一个属于你自己的防御工事,这就是IKs 人所做的。每一个Ik人变成一个组织,独自一人的部落,一个选举区。 现在所有的事都开始明朗化。对我们所有人来说,这就是为什么Ik人似曾相识的原因。我们以前已经见过他们。这恰恰是小到委员会大到国家的大小不等的组织的行事方式。正是人性的这一方面落后于人类其他的进化,这是为啥Ik看上去原始的原因。当Ik处于绝对的自

Unit 1 Ghosts for Tea “十便士看一次海湾风光,”那个带着一架望远镜的老头说道:“多么晴朗美丽的早晨。请来看看那古老的灯塔和1935年失事的大轮船残骸吧。” 要十便士简直是敲诈勒索,可是海湾的景色确实壮丽。 峭壁向远方伸展,海风激起的阵阵波浪泛着白花,冲上海滩。海面上几艘游艇张着乳白色的风帆优雅地避开浪头蜿蜓前进。山崖下面,一群海鸥相互叫唤着,在海面上盘旋飞翔。离岸一英里处,在海浪贪婪地吮舔着的岩岸上,那座古老的灯塔矗立在一座石头平台上。说实话,我毫不吝惜那几个钱。当我把望远镜转朝灯塔时,站在我身旁的那个老头拍了拍我的手腕。 “您听过在那座灯塔里发生的一起骇人听闻的惨案吗?”他压低了嗓音对我说。 “我想这个地方看起来非常富有戏剧性,有关它的传说一定不少,”我说。 “这可不是传说,”那老头郑重其事地说。“我父亲认识那起惨案的两个当事人。一切都发生在50年前的今天。让我说给您听听吧。” 他的声音似乎变得更低沉、更富有戏剧性了。 “整整一个礼拜,风暴困住了那座灯塔,”他开始说。“咆啸的大海波涛汹涌,海浪拍打着岩石,轰然作响。岸上的人们十分担心在那儿工作的两个人。 他们俩是多年的挚友,但在两三个礼拜前,他们在乡村酒店里玩牌时吵了一架。马丁指责布莱克打牌时耍赖,布莱克则发誓要对侮辱他人格的不实之辞进行报复。多亏一位他们俩都尊敬的人好言相劝,他们才互相道了歉,并似乎很快地结束了他们之间的不快。不过各自心里还有些怨恨。因此,人们担心长时间与世隔绝所造成的极度紧张和恶劣的天气会使他们俩神经过敏,尽管两人的朋友们不消说还根本没意识到后果会有多么严重。” “离今50年前的那个晚上,灯塔上没有出现灯光,直到凌晨两点钟左右才有一束灯光突然发出警告信号。 “第二天早上,灯光依然可见。风暴已经平息了,人们派出一条救生船前去查看情况。等待人们的却是一个不忍目睹的场面——马丁和布莱克的起居室一片骇人景象,桌子翻倒在地,一副牌散得到处都是,地板上溅满了血迹。营救人员爬上旋梯来到灯塔间,在那儿发现了马丁的尸体蜷缩在仍然亮着的灯旁。他是被戳死的。两天后,布莱克的尸体被潮水冲了上来,他身上划破多处,浑身青肿,伤得不轻。 “我们只是在那时才猜测到究竟发生了什么事。这场大惨剧只是由于他们俩再次争吵而引起的。他们准是因为与世隔绝而心烦意孔,于是开始玩牌。马丁又怀疑布莱克耍赖,指责这位原先的朋友不老实。接着一场格斗发生了,布莱克一把操起刀子,在一阵狂怒之下向他的伙伴刺去,马丁受了致命伤而倒下。布莱克被自己的行为惊呆了。他受不了这里的孤独寂寞以及风浪的拍击声,于是狂奔到栏杆边纵身投向下面的岩石。接着大海吞噬了他。 “但当时马丁还活着。过了几小时,也就是在天色暗下来以后,他苏醒过来,想起了自己点灯的职责。于是,可怜的马丁忍着剧痛,慢慢地爬上旋梯,一步一步地爬到灯前。用最后剩下的一口气,他点亮了灯塔,然后倒下。 “数年后,据说那座灯塔闹鬼了。就因为这些传说,当地迷信的居民中没有人愿意接替做灯塔管理员。如今人们都说,每年到出事的那一天,尤其是当海上风急浪高的时候,人们

2015年 河海大学研究生英语一Unit 9 pollution is a dirty word

Unit 9 pollution is a dirty word The earth is our home. We must take care of it, for ourselves and for the next generation. This means preserving the quality of our environment. The importance of this task is stressed by scientists who study the relation of man to nature. These scientists are called ecologists, from the Greek word oikos, which means home. Ecologists are responsible for keeping the land, air, and water clean. "How are we doing?" an ecologist was asked recently. "Lousy" the scientist said, sniffing the fume-laden air. "We've got to do a better job - and soon - or it will be too late." 地球是我们的家园。为了我们自己和下一代,必须照顾好它。这意味着保护我们的环境质量。 这项任务的重要性是研究人与自然关系的科学家强调的。这些科学家称为生态学家,来自希腊字Oikos,这意味着家园。生态学家们负责保持土地,空气,和水的清洁。”我们该怎么做?”最近生态学家被问到。“糟糕。”科学家闻着油烟的空气说。“我们必须做得更好,不久,或者很快就太晚了。” Consume, consume, consume! Our society is consumer oriented-dangerously so. To keep the wheels of industry turning, we manufacture consumer goods in endless quantities, and, in the process, are rapidly exhausting our natural resources. But this is only half the problem. What do we do with manufactured products when they are worn out? They must be disposed of, but how and where? Unsightly junkyards full of rusting automobiles already surround every city in the nation. Americans throw away 80 billion bottles and cans each year, enough to build more than ten stacks to the moon. There isn’t room for much more waste, and yet the factories grind on. They cannot stop because everyone wants a job. Our standard of living, one of the highest in the world, requires the consumption of manufactured products in ever-increasing amounts. Man, about to be buried in his own waste, is caught in a vicious cycle. “Stop the world, I want to get off,” is the way a popular song put man’s dilemma. 消费、消费、消费!我们的社会以消费者为中心-这是很危险的。为了让工业的车轮保持转动,我们大量地生产消费品,而且在此过程中迅速地消耗我们的自然资源。但这只是问题的一半。当这些工业产品被用过之后我们拿它们怎么办呢?它们 必须被处理掉,但是如何处理或在哪里处理呢?堆满生锈汽车的难看的垃圾场已经包围了这个国家的每一座城市。每年美国人扔掉800亿个瓶罐,足够堆到月球十几堆了。再也没有空间放更多的废物了,但是工厂还在继续生产着。工厂不

Unit 7 信念的治愈力量 1、过去的两年中,我一直在加州大学洛杉矶分校观察那些在癌症中存活的患者,想要找出为什么这些人接受治疗的效果更好。一开始我认为有些患者恢复那么好的原因是他们的病情比较轻,但是经过更仔细的观察,我发现病情的严重性只是为什么他们和其他人治疗效果不同的许多原因中的其中一个原因。我这里讨论到的病人接受了他们各自所需要的不同的治疗,像药物治疗、放射性疗法、手术等等。然而病人对于这些治疗方法的反应和效果不尽相同。一些患者接受治疗后恢复效果比其他人要好的多。 2、会什么会存在如此大的不同?有没有什么是所有治愈的存活者共有的特点?答案是有。我发现这些存活者的大多数特点都非常相似,这其中包括了下列几点: ●他们都有强烈的想生存下去的意愿。 ●他们并不惧怕疾病。 ●他们相信自己能够坚持不懈。 ●尽管所有预测都是向着不好的方向,他们仍然相信他们可以成功存活下来。 ●他们会给出充满欢乐的答复。 ●他们确信他们的治疗可以起作用。 3、有一位我比较熟悉的妇女可以代表这整个群体,大家都叫她安妮。她的病情被诊断为肝癌。一项探究性的手术使那些外科医生确定她的病用现有的医疗手段是不可能治愈的了。但是安妮完全没有因为这个结论而灰心丧气,她完全确信她可以客服这个疾病并战胜它,她决定用她的肉体和精神所有力量来与病魔斗争。她的这种精神给她的家庭医生留下了深刻的印象,他认为专家下的这个可怕的结论不应该成为妨碍安妮继续努力的理由。这位家庭医生非常支持安妮,并鼓励她去休斯敦找一名外科医生,这位外科医生对于那些有着强烈生存意愿与信心的患者的治疗十分显著,他的名字叫约翰·斯特林。 4、安妮去了休斯敦并且收到了斯特林医生的接见。她去了圣约瑟夫医院,斯特林医生的患者在那里接受治疗。这家医院的设置不是令人压抑的白色,而是由许多令人愉快的、很有吸引力的小屋子构成,最大的一间被称作起居室,那里装饰了一些简约的座椅,有阅读角,还有影音装置,里面有一长列的磁带记录着一些十分有趣的影像。在阅读完我为英格兰医药时报撰写的一篇讲述笑容的医疗作用的文章之后,斯特林医生就安装了这些设备并且购买了那些磁带。他一直相信希望和笑容对治疗十分有作用,他发现那些经常很开心的人接受治疗的效果比那些忧虑不安并畏惧疾病的患者要好得多。 5、仅仅和斯特林医生一起呆了15分钟,安妮就觉得心情变好并被周围的环境所感染而感到十分兴奋。她遇见了一些比她的病情更为严重的病人。斯特林医生为安妮做了检查并且查看了她的病例,然后他告诉安妮他很愿意对她进行治疗并尽可能提供最好的帮助,但是唯一要求是安妮必须要完全地相信医生、她自己还有手术。斯特林医生建议安妮回家好好想一想。 6、安妮确实回家了,但是没有什么好考虑的,她很渴望能够成功存活下去。当她回到休斯敦的时候,斯特林医生认为很明显她已经非常有动力了。他做了手术并切除了安妮约70%的肝脏,然而安妮在圣约瑟夫医院恢复地十分迅速。她在一个充满了力量与支持的环境中振
