Practice 2 Until recently, scientists knew little about life in the deep sea, nor had they reason to believe that it was being threatened. Now, with the benefit of technology that allows for deeper exploration, researchers have uncovered a remarkable array of species inhabiting the ocean floor at depths of more than 660 feet, or about 200 meters. At the same time, however, technology has also enabled fishermen to reach far deeper than ever before, into areas where bottom trawls can destroy in minutes what has taken nature hundreds and in some cases thousands of years to build. Many of the world's coral species, for example, are found at depths of more than 200 meters. It is also estimated that roughly half of the world's highest seamounts - areas that rise from the ocean floor and are particularly rich in marine life - are also found in the deep ocean. These deep sea ecosystems provide shelter, spawning and breeding areas for fish and other creatures, as well as protection from strong currents and predators. Moreover, they are believed to harbor some of the most extensive reservoirs of life on earth, with estimates ranging from 500,000 to 100 million species inhabiting these largely unexplored and highly fragile ecosystems.

问答题◆Topic 11：On Bicycle Theft Questions for reference: 1) Is bicycle theft commonly seen on campus? 2) What are the causes for the theft? 3) What can universities you to stop such phenomenon?正确答案： 【参考答案】
Bicycle theft is very common on campus, which is immoral and illegal. And it is damaging to the academic image of the colleges and universities.
There are several reasons for this. First, the security system of the school should be partially responsible for the losses. Besides, more than too often, students’ carelessness leaves opportunities for the thieves. Sometimes when they have to leave their bicycles for 10 minutes, they will not take the trouble to lock them. The last point that is also worth mentioning is that there is a lack of moral education in most schools.
Considering these situations, the school and the students should work together to fight against this phenomenon On the one hand, the school security system should be perfected. On the other hand, students should learn to he more allergic. Above all, moral education must be added and emphasized. 解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 4 Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative efforts, the joy and moral stimulation of work no longer must be forgotten in the mad chase of evanescent profits. These dark days, my friends, will be worth all they cost us, if they teach us that our true destiny is not to be ministered on to, but to minister to ourselves, to our fellow men. Recognition of the falsity of material wealth as the standard of success goes hand in hand with the abandonment of a false belief that public office and high political position are to be valued only by the standards of pride of place and personal profits, and there must be an end to our conduct in banking and in business, which too often has given to a sacred trust the likeness of callous and selfish wrong-doing. Small wonder that confidence languishes, for it thrives only on honesty on honor on the sacredness of our obligation, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live. (Franklin D. Roosevelt: First Inaugural Address)正确答案： 【参考译文】
幸福并不在于单纯地占有金钱;幸福还在于取得成就后的喜悦,在于创造努力时的激情。务必不能再忘记劳动带来的喜悦和激励,而去疯狂地追逐那转瞬即逝的利润。如果这些暗淡的时日能使我们认识到,我们真正的天命不是要别人侍奉,而是为自己和同胞们服务,那么,我们付出的代价就完全是值得的。
认识到把物质财富当作成功的标准是错误的,我们就会抛弃以地位尊严和个人收益为唯一标准,来衡量公职和高级政治地位的错误信念;我们必须制止银行界和企业界的一种行为,它常常使神圣的委托混同于无情和自私的不正当行为。难怪信心在减弱,信心只有靠诚实、信誉、忠心维护和无私履行职责。而没有这些,就不可能有信心。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Topic 2：My View on College Students’ Use of Mobile Phones Questions for reference: 1) What is the phenomenon of college students’ using mobile phones? 2) What might be the advantages and disadvantages of their using mobile phones? 3) What could be done to this problem?正确答案： 【参考答案】
My name is... My registration number is... My topic is: My View on College Students’ Use of Mobile Phones.
China is becoming a country with the biggest population of mobile phone subscribers and an increasing number of college students are joining the existing users. Statistics show that eight out of ten college students have got one. However, is it necessary for a college student to own a mobile phone?
In my opinion, there is nothing wrong for a college student to have a cell phone, with is, students will be better connected with friends and parents. What’s more, mobile phones play an important role in graduates’ job-hunting. Therefore, instead of banning the use of mobile phones, schools should take measures to guide an appropriate use of them on campus, For example, students are required to switch off their phones in classrooms and under no circumstances should they use a mobile phone during exams. In some public places, like libraries, a poster can be placed at the entrance to alert library users to switch their phones to vibration mode before they enter the library.
I believe mobile phones can bring benefits to our students as long as we can make good use of them. 解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 7 A major source of anxiety about the future of the family is rooted not so much in reality as in the tension between the idealized expectation in the culture and the reality itself. Nostalgia for a lost family tradition, which, in fact, never existed, has prejudiced our understanding of the conditions of families in contemporary society. Thus, the current anxiety over the fate of the family reflects not only problems in the family but also a variety of fears about other social problems that are eventually projected onto the family. The real problem facing American families today are not symptoms of breakdown as is often suggested; rather, they reflect the difficulties of adaptation to recent social changes, particularly to the loss of diversity in household membership, to the reduction of the variety of family functions and, to some extent, to the weakening of the family adaptability. The idealization of the family as a refuge from the world and the myth that the work of mothers is harmful has added considerable strain. The continuous emphasis on the family as a universal private retreat and as an emotional haven is misguided in light of historical experience.正确答案： 【参考译文】
人们对家庭的未来感到忧心忡忡,其根本原因不在于现实,而在于对文化的理想化期望与现实本身的冲突。由于怀念失落的家庭传统,我们在理解现代家庭状况时常存在着偏见,而实际上,这种家庭传统从未存在过。当前人们对家庭命运的担忧不仅仅反映出了家庭的问题,由于社会问题常常投射到家庭中,这种担忧也反映了人们对其他社会问题的种种忧虑。现在美国家庭面临的真正问题不是人们所常说的家庭崩溃的征兆,而是反映出美国家庭难以适应最近的社会变化,尤其是难以适应家庭规模缩小、家庭职能减少以及家庭适应能力越来越弱的现实。把家庭理想化为远离世界的避难所,或者错误地认为母亲工作对于家庭不利,使家庭承受了更大的压力。从过去的经验来看,一直强调家庭是个人和情感的避风港是有失偏颇的。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 10 What we today call American folk art was, art of, by, and for ordinary, everyday I “folks” who, with increasing prosperity and leisure, created a market for art of all kinds, and especially for portraits. Citizens of prosperous, essentially middle-class republics—whether ancient Romans，seventeenth-century Dutch burghers, or nineteenth-century Americans—have always shown a marked taste for portraiture. Starting in the late eighteenth century, the United States contained an increasing number of such people, and of the artists who could meet their demands. The earliest American folk art portraits come, not surprisingly, from New England—especially Connecticut and Massachusetts—for this was a wealthy and populous region and the center of a strong craft tradition. Within a few decades after the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the population was pushing westward, and the portrait painters could be found at work in western New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri. Midway through its first century as a nation, the United States' population had increased roughly five times, and eleven new states had been added to original thirteen. During these years, the demand for portraits grew and grew, eventually to be satisfied by camera.正确答案： 【参考译文】
我们所说的美国民间艺术是由普通百姓所拥有、创造并享受的艺术。随着财富和闲暇与日俱增,他们创造了各种艺术的市场,特别是肖像绘画。家境殷实的、主要是中产阶级的市民——不管他们是古罗马人,或是l7世纪荷兰自治城市富裕居民,抑或是l9世纪的美国人——都对肖像绘画艺术表现出突出的爱好。从18世纪晚期开始,美国这一群体的数量不断增加,而且满足画像要求的艺术家也不断地增加。
勿需惊奇,美国最早的民间艺术画像来自于新英格兰地区——特别是康涅狄格州和麻萨诸塞州——因为这一地区富裕,人口稠密,而且是浓厚艺术传统的中心。l776年《独立宣言》宣布后的几十年中,人口不断西徙,在纽约州西部、俄亥俄州、肯塔基州、伊利诺伊州、密苏里州,人们随处可见肖像画师绘画的身影。美国独立后50年间,人口增加了近五倍,原先l3个州又增加了11个。在这些岁月里,肖像绘画的需求不断增长,直到有了照相机才算得到满足。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 1 The point is that, apart from many of the polygraphers being unqualified, the tests themselves are by no means free from error, primarily because they discount human imagination and ingenuity. Think of all those perfectly innocent people, with nothing to be afraid of, who blush and stammer when a customs officer asks them if they have anything to declare. Fear, and a consequently heightened electrical response, may not be enough to establish guilt. It depends on whether the subject is afraid of being found out or afraid of being wrongfully convicted. On the other hand, the person who is really guilty and whose past experience has prepared him for such tests can distort the results by anticipating the crucial questions or deliberately giving exaggerated responses to neutral ones! The success rate of up to 90% claimed for lie detectors is misleadingly attractive. If we refer such a figure to a company with 500 employees, twenty of whom are thieves, the lie detector could catch 18 of them but in doing so would place 32 innocent employees under suspicion.正确答案： 【参考译文】
问题在于,除了测谎仪操作者中很多人不称职外,测验本身也很难保不出差错,主要原因是测验把人的想像力和机敏性低估了。试想,有多少全然无辜、没有什么好害怕的人在海关官员问到是否有东西要申报时,也会脸红和结巴的;确定一个人是否有罪,光凭恐惧及由此产生的高电反应恐怕是不够的。这就要看受测对象怕的是问题暴露还是担心被错误地定罪。另一方面,一个真正犯了罪的人由于过去的经验使他对这种测验有所准备,所以他能对关键问题早有预料,或对中性问题故作夸大反应,这样他是可以随意掌控测谎结果的!
据称。测谎器的成功率高达90%,这颇有吸引力,但却容易把人引入歧途;若以一家有着500名职员而其中20人参与盗窃的公司为例,按此百分比,用测谎器可以抓住18人,而与此同时却将32名无辜职员置于嫌疑分子之列。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Practice 1 Twenty years ago, Motorola looked upon the Japanese with something close to fear. The Chicago company’s television-manufacturing division had been large and profitable in the 1960s. By the early 1970s, however, high costs and a rising tide of inexpensive Japanese TVs were taking a heavy toll. “The Japanese were very aggressive”, recalls Motorola spokesman Mario Salvadori. “They wanted to get market share.” With cutthroat pricing, they did—eventually running nearly every U.S. electronic company out of the TV business. Motorola sold its Quasar TV unit to a Japanese company in 1974. But while other U.S. companies were floored for foreign competition, Motorola refocused its energies, It turned to wireless communications—an industry it had pioneered (with mobile radios and walkie-talkie) in the 1920s. It was a prescient move.正确答案： 【参考译文】
20年前,摩托罗拉公司带着近乎害怕的心理看待日本企业。早在(20世纪)60年代,这个公司芝加哥的电视制造分公司规模大、利润高。但在70年代初,高成本以及日本廉价电视机日趋上升的势头使其遭受重创。“日本人非常嚣张,”摩托罗拉公司发言人马里奥·萨尔瓦多瑞追忆道,“他们想分享市场。”通过残酷无情的价格战,他们如愿以偿,并最终把几乎所有美国电子公司赶出电视机行业。1974年,摩托罗拉将其Quasar 电视生产厂卖给了一家日本公司。但是,当其他美国公司在对外竞争中败北的时候,摩托罗拉公司重新调整了产业方向,转向无线通讯。这是一个它在20年代开拓的产业(另外还有移动收音机和步话机)。此举确有先见之明。解析： 暂无解析
