Ⅰ 英语阅读:4-Could the bad old days

Could the bad old days of economic  decline (下滑)  be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to  supply(供应) - cuts (减少)  in March,  the price of  crude(原材料、原油)  oil has  jumped(上涨)  to almost $26 a  barrel(桶) ,  up (上升)  from less than $10 last December. This near- tripling (三倍的)  of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices  quadrupled(四倍的) , and 1979-1980, when they also almost  tripled(三倍的) . Both previous shocks resulted in double- digit(数字) inflation(通货膨胀)  and global economic  decline(衰退) . So where are the  headlines(标题)  warning of  gloom and doom (沮丧悲观)  this time?

经济下滑的糟糕老日子还会回来吗?在石油输出国组织同意在三月减少供应石油,原油的价格便上升到了每升26美元,而上年11月份每斤还不到10美元。这增长几乎3倍的现状,唤醒了大家谨罩在1973年经历的石油危机价格涨到3倍时的记忆。在1979-1980年期间,那时候价格飞速涨到了2倍。这之前两次的石油危机导致了两倍的通货膨胀和全球金融衰退。那么这个时候对目前的经济萧条沮丧发出警示的标题在哪里呢?

减少:decline/ rece /decrease/ cut down /lessen/depress/decay/minify/rebate /drop/sink/ cut/ abate

上升:rise/go /up/upward/jump/increase/add/augment /fortify/aggrandize/enhence/boost/increase / advance /impove /ascent

月份:一月January二月 February三月 Marcy四月 April五月 May六月 June七月 July八月答腔 August九月 September十月 October十一月 November十二月 December

倍数:Single (1)  Double (2)  Triple (3)  Quadruple(4)  Quintuple or Pentuple (5)  Sextuple or Hextuple (6)  Septuple (7)  Octuple (8)  Nonuple (9)Decuple (10)Hendecuple or Undecuple (11)  Duodecuple (12)  Centuple (100)

deflation:通货紧缩  inflation:通货膨胀

Headlines:新闻标题  underline下划线,强调,突出

The oil price was given another  push up(上升)  this week when Iraq suspended(停止) oil exports.  Strengthening(强化、激励)  economic  growth, at the same time as  winter grips(冬季到来,grips抓紧)  the northern  hemisphere(半球) , could  push(上升)  the price higher still in the short term.

当伊拉克暂停石油出口后,石油价格在上周再次上涨,激励经济发展的同时,北半球冬季的到来在短时间内会推动价格再次上升。

Yet there are good reasons to  expect (期待、认为、预料)  the economic consequences(后果) now to be  less   severe(祥举闹严重、严峻)  than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost(成本) of  crude oil (原油)  now  accounts for (占)  a smaller share of the price of  petrol (汽油)  than it did in the 1970s.  In Europe,  taxes(税收) account for (占)   up to four-fifths of the  retail (零售)  price, so  even (甚至、即使)   quite (表肯定)  big changes in the price of  crude (原油)   have a more  muted (缓和)  effect on  pump prices (汽油价格)  than in the past.

expect(期待、认为、预料)        except:除…之外

结果:result/outcome/fruit/ending/consequence/termination/progeny

少:few/litter/less/short/lack/lose/seldom

cost:价钱,代价,花费,费用,花费   

quite:非常,相当,很,确实如此    quiet:安静

effect:效果,影响,印象,所有物,引发,产生        effort:工作;努力,尝试; 成就; 杰作

然而,这里有很好的理由估计,油价上涨带来的经济结果要比1970年期间好一些。在很多国家,现在的原油价格比1970年占据汽油价格的份额小得多。在欧洲,税收价格占零售价格的五分之四,甚至在原油的价格上有很大的改变,比以前在输出价格上的影响也会减弱。

Rich economies are also less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to  swings (摇摆、波动)  in the oil price.  Energy  conservation (节约) , a  shift (改变、替代)  to other fuels and a decline  in the importance of heavy (重要性) ,  energy-intensive instries (能源密集型重工业)  have reced oil  consumption (消耗量) . Software,  consultancy(咨询行业)  and mobile telephones use far less oil than  steel(钢)  or car  proction. For each dollar of GDP (in  constant(不间断的、不变的)  prices) rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973. The OECD  estimates(估计)  in its latest Economic Outlook that, if oil prices averaged $22 a  barrel(桶)  for a full  year,  compared with $13 in 1998, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25-0.5% of GDP. That is less than one-quarter of the income loss in 1974 or 1980. On the other hand, oil-importing  emerging economies — to which heavy instry has  shifted(转向)  — have become more energy-intensive, and so could be more  seriously  squeezed(挤压) . 

Import:输入;进口  export: 出口,输出

发达的经济体相比以前更少依赖于石油,因此石油价格来回摇摆变得不那么敏感了。能源保护、其他能源的替代能源密集型产业重要性的加大减少了石油的消耗量。软件业、咨询行业、手机电话产业使用的石油远远比钢铁工业和汽车制造业使用的石油少。现在发达经济体的国内生产总值中的每一美元(按不变的价格计算)都比1973年石油消耗几乎少了近50%。经济合作与发展组织在最近的一期《经济展望》上估计:“如果是石油价格相比于1998年的每升13元,全年平均为每桶22元,这将会使发达经济体上石油进口支出GDP所占比例增加0.25-0.5%,这比1974-1980年期间收入损失的四分之一还少。另一方面,石油进口的新兴经济体由于转向重工业正在转变,将变成更加依赖石油能源,那么可能将收到石油危机更严峻的压迫。”

One more reason not to  lose sleep over(担忧)  the rise in oil prices is that,  unlike(不像)  the rises in the 1970s, it has not  occurred(发生)  against  the background of (以…为背景) general  commodity-price(物价)   inflation(通货膨胀)  and global  excess (超过)demand(需求) . A  sizable(相当多)  portion of the world is only just  emerging from(摆脱出来)  economic decline. The Economist's  commodity(商品)  price index  is broadly unchanging from a year ago. In 1973  commodity(商品)  prices  jumped(暴涨)  by 70%, and in 1979 by almost 30%.

发生:happen/occur/take place/come up/turn up/ arise/ chance/befall/come off/be set/bring to pass

deflation:通货紧缩  inflation:通货膨胀 excess 

超过:exceed/surpass/more than/override/overrun/overtake/outstrip

出现: emerge /appear/arise/grow/turn up

一部分:a portion of/a part of/partial

还有一个原因可以不必担忧石油价格上升,与1970年不同的是,此次油价上涨不是在以物价普遍上涨和全球需求过剩为背景。全世界相当多一部分的地区刚刚从经济衰退中经历,《经济学家》发布的商品指数一年内也没有太明显的改变。1970年商品价格上涨了70%,1979年也上涨了几乎30%。

Ⅱ 如何节约能源英语作文

节约能源英语作文

节约能源

英文:

Save the Energy Resources
Another round of energy crisis is knocking at the door. In 2004, world oil
consumption reached a new record, causing oil price in the international market to
skyrocket amazingly. As for China, it was reported that many traditional mineral cities in
northeastern China had run into predicament, with their economy collapsed and workers
unemployed, only because coal had been mined out.
Fossil energy resources, including coal, oil and gas, are unlike sunlight, water power
and wind power which are generated consistently. They’re not practically reproctive
ring human history. Once consumed, they’re gone forever. If they were to be exhausted
before we could find sufficient reproctive resources to replace them with, w
e’d have to
live in entire blackout again like our ancestors have done thousands of years ago. That’s
of course not what anyone would want to see.
Due to technical limitations, people still have to utilize these resources now.
As a result, we must economize them most cleverly. New techniques should be
developed and applied to rece energy cost in instry and daily life. Alternative energy
should be employed wherever possible. Eradicate any practice that wastes energy.
Humans have overcome so many crises i
n history, and we’re sure to win this time also.

With the develope of society,many people begin to care about saving energy.I think
saving energy is everyone's ty.So we should do well our responsibility.For instance,we
need remeber to shut off the lamp when we leave a room without anyone else and shut off
the tap when stop to use it to save water.Sometimes we can take our bay to the
supermarket to buy something.It can save resources.Finally,the most basica is we can't
throw litter on the ground anyway.We have one earth ,she is our only home.If everyone do
his best to protect her,she will be more beautiful.

作文是决定语文考试
成绩


半壁江山

,因此作文的成败往往决定了整个语文考试的
成败。那么
怎样
让考试作文得高分呢
?
我觉得以下几点必须注意。

1

题和立意凡考试作文必须审题

原因是考生要在同一环境下,
作公平的竞争。
审题,
就是要对试题展现的所有内容作全面、
准确的审读和理解,
把命题者的意图读出来,
把题目
的各种限制审清楚,明确要我写
什么
,怎么写,写到
什么
程度,真正做到全面领会,深刻把
握,不偏不漏、
不折不扣地按要求写作文。高考作文评判明确规定,凡审题有问题的试卷最

后得分一般都不超过二类卷最低分。
由此可见,
审题的准确与否是作文成败的关键因素。

意,就是要作者站在时代的高度,去观察、认识
生活
,提炼主题,使主题体现时代的精神,
既反映时代,也作用于时代,跳动时代的脉搏,推动着时代的前进。文章的





其实就
是作者在体验
生活
中逐步孕育而成的一种思想,是作者的主观认识与客观实际相

撞击

的产
物,
它反映作者的思想水平、
认识水平以及在社会生活中形成的世界观、
人生观、
价值观等。
近两年的作文教改提倡学生写真实生活、
真实自我,
有些
同学
忽视了对文章思想倾向的把握,
看问题不全面,
观点偏激,
更有甚者由腐败现象而怀疑党的领导和党的政策。
尽管当今的中
国社会政治清明,言论自由,话说错了不会追查什么政治问题,但作为未来社会的建设者,
正确的是非观还是应该有的。这一点必须注意。

2

标题和段落标题是文章的眼睛
,也是阅卷老师对文章的第一印象,特别是自拟题目
写作,阅卷老师很看重考生所拟的标题。俗话说:

秧好一半谷,题好一半文

,可见题目的
重要性。
有些考生先写正文再拟标题,
文章写好后也许是没有时间写标题,
也许是忘了补写
标题。虽然评分规定无标题扣
2
分,但实际结果却远非
2
分。有人曾做过这样的实验,将
几篇写得较好的作文,
按保留标题和隐去标题两种类型请两组老师分别予以阅卷,
其分数差
别一般都在
5
分以上。这是因为阅卷老师对无标题作文产生了一种心理距离,不知不觉便
降低了分数等级。至于如何拟题,我觉得应做到这样几条:①确切。指符合文章内容,也指
遣词造句符合规范
)
。②精练。指标题字数恰当。③生动。指题目能体现出一种活力,具有
可读性,饶有情趣。④新颖。指有新视角、新思路、新感悟,能够给人一种新鲜感。⑤有意
蕴。指有内在的含义。拟题方法多种多样,可以运用修辞拟题,可以引用俗语拟题,可以化
用古语拟题,
可以借用成语拟题,
可以套用流行语拟题,
也可以巧用
其他
学科公式或符号拟
题等等,
考生可以根据自己的情况灵活运用。
段落:
考试作文最忌首、
腹、
尾三段式的结构。
把文章分为几段更好
?
千字以内的作文,我觉得分为
5-8
个自然段就可以了。因为自然段分
得越自然,
越显得你成熟老练。
另外,
要把每一段的首句写好。
每一段的首句犹如人的眉目,
把首句写好,

眉清目秀

,整个段落都显着精神。

3

文体和内容高考作文试题对文体的要求有两类

一类是规定必须写某种文体,



一篇议论文
”;
另一类是排除写某种文体,如

除诗歌外,其他文体不限

。考生必须按规定的
文体去写。近几年高考作文题中

文体不限

,让考生自由选择文体,这里要特别注意,文体
不限不是不要文体,
而是要你在选择了一种文体后,
一定要按这种文体特点写作,
要写什么
象什么。不可随心所欲,写成不伦不类的

四不像

文章。文章内容方面:不假思索就能想到
的东西,绝对不要写
;
稍加思索想到的也不要写
;
花上几分钟,想别人想不到的内容来写。记
叙文最好将主人公设定为自己,用第一人称入文,让



的激情在文章中闪光,情真意切,
引起共鸣。议论文切忌大话、套话、废话,要避免空发议论,无病呻吟,滥提口号,乱发号
召,空表决心等等。作文可以虚构,

允许

编写故事,但不等于提倡

编写故事

,编写故事
要做到

大胆
想象
,自圆其说

。滥编、胡编,绝对不会得高分。

4

开头和结尾应试作文的开头结尾,
就是文章的刀刃。
平时在课内外所学的各种开头
结尾的方法完全可以用在应试作文上。
不管你使用什么方法开头和结尾,
必须做到开头起笔
入题,结尾点明主旨。为了给评卷老师一个好的印象,开头结尾千万不要涂抹。有道是:良
好的开端是成功的一半。
可有些考生犯

入题慢

的毛病:
有的把大段的原材料全部照搬
;
有的

把本来简洁的原材料进行扩展
;
有的开篇摆材料,古今中外,慢慢道来。开篇松散,占去了
大量的篇幅,
后面的真正应该说的内容却

千呼万唤不出来


有的只是一笔带过,
草草收兵,
比例严重失调,使老师难以衡量其实际写作水平。古人写文章讲究

凤头



猪肚



豹尾


这是有一定道理的。
可有些考生作文来不及刹尾,
或用一句话硬断,或点上一串省略号,这
样即使你雕出了

凤头

,壮大了

猪肚

,也会因为没有

豹尾

而不成其好文章,得不到高分。
阅卷老师衡量一篇文章的好坏,
首先是看其整体。
所以,
考生交给老师的无论如何也应是一
篇完整的作文。

5

语言和字数考试作文语言要规范准确,具有个性和活力。
不要文白夹杂
;
不要使用
别人看不懂的方言和词汇
;
少用长句多用短句
;
可引进部分时代新词汇,引用名言警句,引用
流行的通俗歌曲歌词,引用百姓口头民谣,但取向一定要积极向上,真正让语言亮起来。照
理说,
文章是表情达意的工具,
有话则长,
无话则短,
似乎不应有字数的限制。
但考试作文,
作为一种特殊形式的作文,
为了达到一定的考查目的,
并考虑到考试时间等因素,
一般对字
数都作了规定。
我们必须按照规定去做。
限最低字数的,
一定要写够数量或稍微超过
50

100
字才好。如果字数不足,虽然评分标准规定,不足字数的,每少
50
字扣
1
分,但实际情况
是,
字数不足往往被认为文章内容单薄,
分数很难上档次。
限最高字数的,
不要超过。
否则,
给人一种臃肿的感觉,再说,作文写得长,花的时间多,解答前面的题用的时间少,必定会
受到影响。
如果没有限最高字数,一般就是以作文纸为限,即要在作文纸格子内行文。
千万
不要自作多情,超出作文格子,以免出力不讨好。

6

书写和卷面近年高考作文评分标准中,
书写都占相当的比分。
一般不要求写得好看,
但要求书写整齐易辨认,
一笔一画清清楚楚,
不写草字。
标点符号书写也要规范,
特别是格
式要正确,句号、逗号、问号、叹号、顿号、分号不要出现在一行之首
;
引号、括号、书名
号前半不出现在一行之末,可以在这些符号后面挤着写一个字
;
引号、括号、书名号后一半
不出现在一行之首,
可以把这些符号挤在上一行之末。
省略号、
破折号占两个格,
不能断开,
写不下时挤在一行之末。
至于作文的卷面,正如人的容貌一样,给人的印象是重要的,
尤其
是高考作文,卷面整洁与否直接影响着阅卷老师的心理和情绪,书写工整,
卷面清洁,
让人
一看心中先喜三分,其结果是可想而知的。

7

检查与修改考试作文试题和其他试题一样,
做完后也需要认真检查

看有没有笔误
的错别字,
有没有不通顺的句子,有没有需要调整的内容。审查发现了错别字、错用了词语
一定要修改过来,对于句段该删的要删掉,该增的要增补,只是要改得清楚、整洁,使人一
目了然。不能因为修改而影响了卷面的整洁。

Ⅲ 求翻译,英语阅读短文

其实,有多种不同的能源对我们都是重要的,但人们似乎最关注石油,报纸和电视经常谈论油价,国家聚在一起讨论石油问题,但石油的特殊在哪里?石油对全球人的生活都是至关重要的,我们可以用从地下抽出的石油生产很多东西,如;塑料和橡胶,有些科学家说;石油只够今后60年用的,绝大部分在中东地区,由于这种状况,使得世界在70年代出现了一些严重问题,由于政治原因中东国家停止向西方国家卖石油

Ⅳ 求一篇能源改革的英语作文

There are still many problems of enviromental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air,water and soil. The polluted air does great harm to people's health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What's more, vegetation has been greatly reced with the rapid growth of modern cities.
To protect the environment,governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, government are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.
In my opinion , to protect environment, the goernment must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through ecation.Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people mean more pollution.Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionalli should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.

第一篇:

Think about the different ways that people use the wind.You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat.Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources (来源), as well as one of the oldest.Evidence shows that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC.They were first introced to Europe ring the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of using wind power.

For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep underground.When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use them to proce electricity.This allowed them to have electric lights and radio.However, by the 1940s when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.

During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to proce electricity.People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last forever.Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher costs.Today, there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

:夏日,数以百万计的人们前往沙滩,游泳和嬉戏,然而海洋的价值绝不仅限于此。科学家们认为水波能发电。“当你在冲浪板或船上的时候,是否有向上漂浮的感觉?或者当你跳进水里,被波浪撞击的时候,能否感受到能量的存在?来自苏格兰爱丁堡大学波能研究小组的杰米·泰勒教授如是问。“当然,有大量的能源存在于波浪当中。科学家正尝试将其转换为电能。风吹过海面时,会有波浪出现。泰勒说,风力作用下,开始时,水面出现涟漪;风力继续作用下,涟漪变为了波浪。波浪是大自然产生能源的方式之一,然后再将其送出。当波浪涌向海岸时,人们可以设立大坝或者屏障来阻碍水流,并将其送至涡轮。而正是涡轮为发电机输送能量。美国和其他一些国家已着手波能的研究,而苏格兰已将其投入使用。这种能源是巨大的。波能可再生,且不会像诸如煤、石油等其他能源造成污染。海洋占据了地球表面的四分之三,使得波能成为了完美的能量来源。然而,也存在一定弊端。泰勒称,一方面,波能造价高;另外,其对海外生物的影响目前尚不为知。此外,也会影响渔业和海上交通。然而,在泰勒看来,随着研究工作的进一步深入,这些弊端都可以解决。地球对能源的需求日益增大,不管是为了看电视、用电脑,还是开汽车和室温调节等。随着传统能源,煤、石油的日益枯竭,找到更多的能源是非常重要的。也许未来的某一天,当你按下电灯开关的时候,正是海外波能在为你服务。

在今后的1000年里,我们的世界会面临哪些问题呢?下面是我整理的中石油阅读理解:21世纪的趋势,希望能帮到大家!

Trends for 21st Century 21世纪的趋势

1.What problemswillour world encounter in the next1,000 years? Social scientistsand economists, farming experts and environmentalists posethis question and examinedata and informationfrom surveys.

1、在今后的1000年里(in the next1,000 years),我们的世界会面临哪些问题呢?(特殊疑问句语序; encountervi. 遭遇)社会科学家、经济学家、农业专家和环境保护主义者提出(pose)了这个问题,并对调查所得的数据和信息(data andinformation from surveys)进行了研究。

2. In every field, experts examine changes to understandthe state of the field.To understand a country’s economy,economistscheck growthin an instrysuch assteel.To understand the state ofbusiness, they maylook atthe number of building permitsfornew houses. The informationlearnedshows increases or decreases. Important trends emergein each field.

2、各个领域的专家都通过对变化的研究来了解该领域的状况。为了了解一个国家的经济状况(To understand a country’s economy),经济学家对某个行业,如(such as)钢铁业的增长情况(growth)进行调查。为了了解行业的状况(To understand the state of business),他们可能会调查新房建造许可证的发放数量(the number of 数量;buildingpermits 施工执照;建筑许可证)。得到的资料(learned过去分词作定语,修饰the information)能显示出增长或减少的情况,各个领域的重要趋势就能体现出来(emerge vi. 显现;浮现;暴露)。

3. Population

3、人口

4. Population is importanttoevery person on Earth. Peopletendto live longerin most places. In Central Europe,however,life spanis droppingbecausehealth careis notwhatit was a few years ago. Factorsaffectinggeneral healthinclude excessive smoking,drinking ofalcoholandpolluted water supplies.

4、人口多少对地球上的每个人都很重要。在大多数地区(in most places)人们的寿命越来越长(tend to dosth. 倾向于;往往会)。但在中欧,由于卫生保健(health care)不如前几年,人的寿命(life span)正在缩短(is dropping)。影响大众健康(affecting general health)的`因素包括吸烟过度(excessive smoking),酗酒以及饮水污染(alcohol n. 酒精;polluted adj. 受污染的; watersupplies 供水)。

5. The population explosiononour planethas been increasingat an alarming ratebutthe percentage of increaseis decreasing.One out of every five peopleon Earth is Chinese,yetChina’s growth ratehas slowed.Asthe number of womengoingto schoolincreases, the growth rate declines.

5、我们星球上的人口的爆炸正在以惊人的速度(at an alarmingrate)加剧着,不过增长的百分比(the percentage of increase)在减小。地球上每五个人中就有一个(One out of every five people)是中国人,但中国的人口增长速度己经减慢了。随着(as)受教育(going to school修饰the number ofwomen)的妇女越来越多,人口增长率正在下降。

6. FoodProction

6、粮食生产

7. The proction of grainseemsto be decreasingmainlybecauseof climate changes. Natural disasterslike storms and floodshavewashed awaymany crops.

7、谷物产量似乎正在减少,这主要是由于气候的变化。暴风雨(storms)和洪水(floods)这类自然灾害(natural disasters)毁掉了许多庄稼。(wash away 冲走;冲垮)

8.With lessland forcattle and sheep,less meat like beefand lamb is being proced. Proction of chicken, turkey and fishhas increased,however. The amount of ocean fishhas not increased,butfish farm proctionhas.

8、由于(with)可供饲养牛羊的土地减少了,牛肉和羊肉生产越来越少(less meat like beef and lamb is beingproced现在进行时被动语态)。不过鸡肉、火鸡肉和鱼的产量提高了。但海鱼(ocean fish)的产量没有提高,只是人工养鱼场(fish farm)的产量提高了。

9. Fish farming is veryefficient:procing a kilogram of fish utilizesless than2 kilograms of feed.In contrastittakes2.2 kilograms of feedtoproce 1 kilogram of chicken. Onekilogram of beefrequires7 kilograms of grain. People,therefore, may eatless red meatinthe future andmore fish.

9、养鱼业(fish farming)的生产效率相当高(efficientadj. 有效率的):生产1公斤鱼只需要不到2公斤的饲料(less than 少于;小于;不超过;utilize vt.利用),而(in contrast 与此相反;相比之下)生产1公斤鸡肉需要2.2公斤的饲料,生产1公斤牛肉需要7公斤谷物(grain)。因此,人们将来可能会少吃红肉(牛肉、羊肉等)(less red meet),多吃鱼类(more fish)。

10. Energy

10、能源

11.Usingfossil fuelsfor energyhas not changed very muchbutwindenergy useis increasingsignificantly. Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Britain, and America havelarge wind power projects. China, India,Mexico, New Zealand, and Ukraine are also developing wind power.

11、以化石燃料为能源的情况(Using fossil fuels for energy)没有发生多大变化,但是(but)对风力的利用正越来越受到重视(is increasingsignificantly)。丹麦、德国、荷兰、英国和美国都有大型风力发电项目(large wind power projects)。中国、印度、墨西哥、新西兰和乌克兰也正在开发风力发电。

12. Energy fromnuclearpower plantsissteadily increasingbutthe problem ofdangerous wastelimits growthin many regions.Becausemany electrical companies consider nuclear energytoo expensive,the trend istowardless dangerous sources of energy.

12、核电厂(nuclear powerplants)提供的能源在稳步上升,但因为核电厂的有害废料(dangerous waste)问题,在许多地区其发展受到限制。由于许多电力公司都认为核能代价太大(too expensive太昂贵),因此总体趋势是发展危险性小的能源(less dangerous sources of energy)。

13.Whilenatural gasuse is increasing,use of coalas fuelis decreasing. Naturalgas, an outstandingenergy source,can be used to heat homes, make electricity, and power cars.

13、随着(while)天然气使用量的增长,煤炭作为燃料的使用量(use of coal as fuel)正在减少。天然气这种优质的(outstandingadj. 杰出的)能源可以用于家庭取暖、发电和驱动汽车。(be used to dosth. 被用来做…)

14. Economics

14、经济

15.Ascountriesaround the world trademore withone another,more procts are available.Butthefast development of the world economywillbring aboutmany new problems.Withfewer trees, the paper instry is procing more paper fromrecycled materials.However,the paper-making processunfortunately damages the planetasit useslarge amounts of water, burnsfossilfuelsand proces large amounts ofchemicalwaste.

15、随着(as)世界各国之间贸易量的增加(one another 彼此,通常为三者以上;each other 彼此,通常为两者之间; trade vi. 交易),可买到的产品越来越多(be available 可供使用的)。但世界经济的快速发展会带来许多新问题(bring about 引起;导致)。由于树木减少,造纸厂更多地依靠再生材料(recycled materials)造纸,但不幸的是(unfortunately),造纸工艺(the paper-making process)也对我们的星球造成损害(damages),因为(as)它要用大量的水,燃烧大量的化石燃料(fossil fuels),而且还会产生大量的化学废料(chemical waste)。

16. Automobile proctionisdown,whilebicycle proctionis up. Crowded highways,high gasoline costs, and ease of bicycling are three reasons forthis change.

16、汽车产量在下降,而(while)自行车产量在上升。导致这一变化的三个原因是:高速公路拥挤不堪(crowded adj.拥挤的),汽油价格昂贵,而骑自行车出行轻便自如(ease n. 轻松;悠闲)。

17. Health

17、健康

18.Three major health trendsexistaswe begin the new century. Health careis better thanever.Medical research breakthroughs includefinding tumors earlyand saving livesthrough CAT scans and surgery. Surviving cancer is a new trend. HIV/AIDS,however,is spreadingquicklyall over the world.

18、在我们迈入新世纪之际,呈现出了三个主要的健康趋势(three major health trends)。(1)卫生保健工作不断改善(better thanever 好于以前),(2)医学研究领域有新的突破(breakthrough n. 突破;突破性进展),包括利用CAT扫描(即计算机化X射线轴向分层造影扫描)和外科手术(surgery n.)来及早发现肿瘤并挽救生命(findingtumors early and saving lives)。癌症病人的生存率得到提高也是一个新趋势。然而,艾滋病(HIV/AIDS)却正在全世界迅速蔓延(spread vi. 传播)。

19. The third major trend istowardan attitude of indifference. Peopleseem to have forgottenwaysto keep diseases under control.Althoughmedical sciencehad achievedcontrol overseveral dangerous diseases,some are returning. For instance, tuberculosis, once a dangerous killer, was cured. Now the disease is appearingagain.

19、(3)第三个趋势是人们的态度变得越来越无动于衷。人们似乎已经忘记了(seem to have forgotten 不定式的完成时形式)如何控制疾病(to keep diseases under control不定式作定语,修饰ways)。虽然(although)医学早已能够控制若干危险的疾病(control over 控制;支配;征服),有些病却正在卷土重来(some are returning)。例如(for instance),曾经是危险杀手(once a dangerous killer)的肺结核原本已被消灭(was cured),而现在这种疾病又死灰复燃了。

20. Nature

20、自然

21. Pollutioncontinuesto affect our forests and water.The bird population is decreasingbecause ofoil spills and spreading cities. Seas and oceans are changing.Treesarecut down, more soilwashesaway, and water qualityis affected.Many of these trees are in our rain forestswhere thick areas of plants and trees, home for many birds andanimals,aredisappearing.

21、污染不断破坏着我们的森林和水源(continue to do sth.; continue 后接不定式作宾语)。由于(because of)海上石油泄漏(oil spills; spill n. 溢出)和城市不断扩大,鸟类的数量正在减少。海洋在改变,树木遭砍伐(被动语态;cut-cut-cut;cut down 消减;砍倒;wash away 冲走),越来越多的泥土被冲走,水质(water quality)受到了影响(被动语态)。许多热带雨林中的树木遭到砍伐,那里茂密的(thick)植物和树木原本是许多鸟类和动物的家园,现在却正在消失。

22. Conclusion

22、结论

23.Ourchallengesfor this new centuryare clear. The problems ofnumerousinhabitants onthis small planetwill continue to be important toeach of us. These challenges showthatall of usneedtobeinvolved insolving the problems.May wefind new waystoaccomplish the task?
