In the 21st century, clouds and stormy weather no longer automatically bring military operations to a halt or force a change in targets. Technologies such as the Global Positioning System now allow(1) cruise missiles (巡航导弹) and other smart weapons to home in on (瞄准并飞速接近) their targets. But the weather still is a factor that must be reckoned(2) with, especially with precision-guided weapons that must be highly (3) accurate to be effective.

Fortunately, the ability to obtain weather forecasts(4) will get better. In the next few years, remote weather sensors will grow rapidly (5) on unmanned vehicles. This will create a network of observing platforms that will give commanders a(n) instant (6) overview of weather in the battle zone. In some areas you'll have direct delivery(7) of weather information straight from the computers to black boxes in aircraft and other vehicles. That will be especially important for target-bound aircraft.

Such technology will give whoever possess it a tremendous edge (优势) over their enemy and enable them to use developing weather conditions to their advantage(8). As we get superior satellites into space, we'll gain huge advantages in observing(9) meteorological conditions in denied areas, where we don't have people on the ground. And our modeling ability will continue to improve as our computers get more powerful (10). The past 10 years have witnessed a revolution in our communications and computer abilities. It's exciting to think of what the next 10 years will bring.

在第二十一世纪，云层和暴风雨天气不再自动带来业务停顿或迫使目标的变化（目标）。如全球定位系统现在允许巡航导弹技术（巡航导弹）等智能武器的家中（瞄准并飞速接近）目标。但天气仍然是一个因素不可忽视，尤其是精确制导武器，必须是非常准确的（高度精确）是有效的。

幸运的是，获取天气预报的能力将得到更好的。在接下来的几年中，远程气象传感器（传感器）将快速增长（无人的）无人驾驶车辆。这将创建一个观测平台，将给指挥官在战斗区天气即时网络（战场）。在一些地区，你会直接从计算的飞机和其他汽车黑匣子的天气信息直接传送。将目标束缚飞机尤其重要（瞄准目标的飞行器）。

这种技术会给谁拥有巨大的优势（优势）在他们的敌人，使他们利用气象条件对他们有利的发展。当我们得到优越的卫星送入太空，我们会观察气象条件的地区获得了巨大的优势（盲区否认），我们没有在地面上的人。我们的建模能力将继续为我们的电脑变得更强大的提高。过去10年见证了我们的通信革命（通讯）和计算机能力。令人兴奋的是未来10年会带来什么。

The automobile industry is one of the most important industries in the world, affecting not only the economy but also the cultures of the world. It provides jobs for millions of people, generates

(1) billions of dollars in worldwide revenues, and provides the basis for a large number of related

(2) service and support industries. Automobiles revolutionized(3) transportation in the 20th century, changing forever the way people live, travel, and do business.

The automobile has enabled (4) people to travel and transport goods farther and faster, and has opened up new market opportunities (5) for business and commerce. The auto industry has also decreased the overall (6) costs of transportation by using methods such as mass production, mass marketing, and globalization (全球化) of production. Today, automaking is the world's largest manufacturing (7) activity, with more than 53 million new vehicles built each year worldwide.

As a result of easier and faster transportation, the United States and world economies have become dependent (8) on the mobility that automobiles, trucks, and buses provide. This mobility has allowed remote populations to interact (9) with one another, which, in turn, has increased commerce. The transportation of goods to consumers and consumers to goods has become an industry in itself. However, the automobile has also caused some problems, such as air pollution, congested traffic, and increased highway fatalities(10). Nevertheless, the automobile industry continues to be an important source of employment for millions of people worldwide.

When you get an invitation to a job interview, you are halfway toward your goal — a job offer. No matter how many encouraging (1) responses you have gotten to your job inquiry (2) letters, with rare exceptions you will not get a job offer without an interview.

Go to the library to find all relevant (3) information about the company and, if you can, on the person who will interview you. Have material with you that the employer might ask for —samples (4) of your work, names and addresses of references (5), extra copies of your résumé.

An employment manager for a major construction company offers this advice (6). "If it's obvious you haven't spent any time preparing(7) for the interview —that is, you don't know what the company does, where it does it, what kinds of jobs it has — then don't expect the company to take you very seriously (8)."

Prior to an interview the employer has probably (9) seen your résuméand perhaps talked with you on the phone. What employers look for in interviews is what you might call personal chemistry — how you look and act, whether you exhibit (10) self-confidence, how you would fit in with other members of the organization.

前（优先的）面试的雇主可能已经看过你的简历，也许跟你打电话。招聘者在面试是你会把个人的化学反应--你怎么看起来和行动，你是否表现出（显示）自信，你将如何符合组织的其他成员。

Globalization is a process of interaction(相互作用) and integration（综合）among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade（国际贸易）and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on economic development, on political systems（政治制度）, and on human physical（身体的）well-being in societies around the world.

Globalization is not new, though, For thousands of years, people----and, letter, corporations----have been buying from and selling to each other in lands at great distances, such as through the famed（著名的）Silk Road across Central Asia that connected China and Europe during the Middle Ages. Likewise, for centuries, people and corporations have invested in（投资于）enterprises（企业）in other countries. In fact, many of the features (特征)of the current wave of globalization are similar to those prevailing（流行）before the outbreak（爆发）of the First World War in 1914.

But policy and technological development（技术发展）of the past few decades have spurred（激励）increases in cross-border（跨越边界的）trade, investment, and migration（移民）so large that many observers（观察者）believe the world has entered a qualitatively（定性的）new phase （阶段）. Since 1950, for example, the volume of（大量的）world trade has increased by 20 times, and from just 1997 to 1999 flows（现金流量）of foreign investment nearly doubled, from $468 billion to $827 billion. Distinguishing （区别）this current wave of globalization from earlier ones, author Thomas Friedman has said that today globalization is “farther（更远的）, faster, cheaper, and deeper（更深）.”

全球化是一个互动的过程（相互作用）和整合（综合）之间的人，公司，和不同国家的政府，通过国际贸易驱动（国际贸易）和投资以及信息技术的辅助。这个过程对经济发展的影响，对政治系统（政治制度），以及对人的身体（身体的）在全世界的幸福。

全球化并不是新的，但是，几千年来，人们----，----信，公司已经购买和出售给对方的土地在很远的地方，如通过著名的丝绸之路（著名的）在中亚连接中国和欧洲中世纪。同样，几个世纪以来，人们和公司投资（投资于）企业（企业）在其他国家。事实上，许多功能（特征）对当前的全球化浪潮是类似流行（流行）爆发前（爆发）1914第一次世界大战。

但政策和技术发展（技术发展）在过去的几十年里，已促使（激励）增加跨境（跨越边界的）贸易，投资，和迁移（移民）如此之大，许多观察家（观察者）认为，世界已进入一个新阶段的定性（定性的）（阶段）。从1950开始，例如，体积（大量的）世界贸易增长了20倍，从1997到1999，流量（现金流量）外商投资增加近一倍，从468000000000美元到827000000000美元。鉴别（区别）全球化浪潮从早期的当前，作者托马斯弗里德曼说，今天的全球化”（更远的更远，更快，更便宜），深（更深）。”

Years of begging on the streets of Shahr-e Kord in western Iran meant that Habibian was never anything more than a local beggar to his neighbours. So when he was found dead in his home, no one suspected(1) that the man who spent his life pleading (2) for money and favours had left behind a big fortune.

But now a judge has confirmed(3) that Habibian was a real-life slumdog (穷小子) millionaire after police discovered a lot of valuables when they went to recover his body. Searching through the dead man's possessions, officers were stunned(4) to find more than￡7,000 in cash and ownership documents (文件) to lucrative(5) properties and businesses. They also discovered an array of precious jewellery (6), including earrings dating back to the mid-19th century.

Habibian is not Iran's first wealthy(7) beggar. In 2003, a 40-year-old woman filed for divorce after discovering that her husband, a wealthy carpet trader, regularly begged in a neighbourhood in the south of the city. The husband explained that he was driven by a(n) urge (8) stemming from his poor upbringing in which he fell under the spell (9) of organised beggars. And three years ago, a beggar arrested(10) by police in Tehran was found to have ￡10,000 in the bank and own a luxury flat.

Part 1 Listening 1 Ex1: C A D C B Ex2: 1) approaching 2) left 3) toilet 4) locked 5) Tickets please 6) pushed 7) stamped Scripts: Two Belgians and two Dutchmen traveled regularly to work on the same train. After a while the Dutchmen saw that the two Belgians only had one ticket between them and asked how they managed to achieve this. The Belgians explained that when they heard the conductor approaching from the other end of the carriage, the two of them left their seats, went into the toilet and locked the door. When the conductor knocked on the toilet door, saying, "Tickets, please!", they pushed one ticket under the door. It was then stamped and pushed back under the door again. The Dutchmen thought this was a very good idea and the following morning bought one ticket between them. When they got to their carriage there was only one Belgian. They told him what they had done and asked the Belgian if he had a ticket as he was traveling on his own. The Belgian said he did not have a ticket at all and when they asked how he proposed to manage to travel free of charge, he told them they would have to wait and see until the conductor arrived, but he had no doubt that he would manage it without difficulty. As soon as they heard the conductor coming, the two Dutchmen immediately went to the toilet and locked the door. A few moments later, the Belgian followed them down the corridor and knocked on the toilet door, saying, "Tickets, please!" One ticket appeared under the door. Questions: 1. Where did the story take place 2. What did the two Dutchmen want to know from the two Belgians 3. How did the Dutchmen feel about the Belgians' behavior 4. What did the Belgian do when asked if he had a ticket 5. Who finally managed to travel free of charge Listening 2 Ex1: 1 department store 2. attend college 3. difficult 4. physical education 5. terrified Ex2: FTTFT Scripts: My name is Atsuko Saeki. I work as a salesclerk in a big department store in Fuji, Japan. Six years ago when I was 21 years old, I went to California to attend college. Life in the United States was much more difficult than I had ever imagined. It wasn't like the descriptions I had read in my textbooks. People often seemed tense and so I felt very alone. One of my hardest classes was physical education. We often played volleyball. All the other students were good at it, but I clearly wasn't. One afternoon, the teacher asked me to hit the ball to my classmates. For most people, this would be easy but I was terrified that I would make a fool of myself. When one of the boys on my team saw how nervous I was, he walked up to me and whispered, "Come on, you can do that." You can't imagine how those words of encouragement made me feel. I was so happy that I almost cried. I managed to hit the ball and I think I thanked the young man, but I'm not sure. I have never forgotten his kind words of encouragement. He probably doesn't even remember what he said to me or how much his kindness meant to me. Whenever things aren't going well, I think of those simple words of encouragement: Come on, you can do that.

Unit 1 The idea of becoming a writer had come to me off and on since my childhood in Belleville, but it wasn't until my third year in high school that the possibility took hold. Until then I'd been bored by everything associated with English courses. I found English grammar dull and difficult. I hated the assignments to turn out long, lifeless paragraphs that were agony for teachers to read and for me to write. When our class was assigned to Mr. Fleagle for third-year English I anticipated another cheerless year in that most tedious of subjects. Mr. Fleagle had a reputation among students for dullness and inability to inspire. He was said to be very formal, rigid and hopelessly out of date. To me he looked to be sixty or seventy and excessively prim. He wore primly severe eyeglasses, his wavy hair was primly cut and primly combed. He wore prim suits with neckties set primly against the collar buttons of his white shirts. He had a primly pointed jaw, a primly straight nose, and a prim manner of speaking that was so correct, so gentlemanly,

课内阅读参考译文及课后习题答案(Book 4) Unit 1 享受幽默—什么东西令人开怀？ 1 听了一个有趣的故事会发笑、很开心，古今中外都一样。这一现象或许同语言本身一样悠久。那么，到底是什么东西会使一个故事或笑话让人感到滑稽可笑的呢？ 2 我是第一次辨识出幽默便喜欢上它的人，因此我曾试图跟学生议论和探讨幽默。这些学生文化差异很大，有来自拉丁美洲的，也有来自中国的。我还认真地思考过一些滑稽有趣的故事。这么做完全是出于自己的喜好。 3 为什么听我讲完一个笑话后，班上有些学生会笑得前仰后合，而其他学生看上去就像刚听我读了天气预报一样呢？显然，有些人对幽默比别人更敏感。而且，我们也发现有的人很善于讲笑话，而有的人要想说一点有趣的事却要费好大的劲。我们都听人说过这样的话：“我喜欢笑话，但我讲不好，也总是记不住。”有些人比别人更有幽默感，就像有些人更具有音乐、数学之类的才能一样。一个真正风趣的人在任何场合都有笑话可讲，而且讲了一个笑话，就会从他记忆里引出一连串的笑话。一个缺乏幽默感的人不可能成为一群人中最受欢迎的人。一个真正有幽默感的人不仅受人喜爱，而且在任何聚会上也往往是人们注意的焦点。这么说是有道理的。 4 甚至有些动物也具有幽默感。我岳母从前经常来我们家，并能住上很长一段时间。通常她不喜欢狗，但却很喜欢布利茨恩—我们养过的一条拉布拉多母猎犬。而且，她们的这种喜欢是相互的。布利茨恩在很小的时候就常常戏弄外祖母，当外祖母坐在起居室里她最喜欢的那张舒适的椅子上时，布利茨恩就故意把她卧室里的一只拖鞋叼到起居室，并在外祖母刚好够不到的地方蹦来跳去，一直逗到外祖母忍不住站起来去拿那只拖鞋。外祖母从椅子上一起来，布利茨恩就迅速跳上那椅子，从它那闪亮的棕色眼睛里掠过一丝拉布拉多式的微笑，无疑是在说：“啊哈，你又上了我的当。” 5 典型的笑话或幽默故事由明显的三部分构成。第一部分是铺垫（即背景），接下来是主干部分（即故事情节），随后便是妙语（即一个出人意料或令人惊讶的结尾）。如果这个妙语含有一定的幽默成分，这个笑话便会很有趣。通常笑话都包含这三部分，而且每部分都必须交代清楚。如果讲故事或说笑话的人使用听众都熟悉的手势和语言，则有助于增强效果。 6 我们可以对幽默这种娱乐形式，进行分析，从而发现究竟是什么使一个有趣的故事或笑话令人发笑。举例来说，最常见的幽默有以下几种，包括了从最显而易见的幽默到比较微妙含蓄的幽默。 7 “滑稽剧”是最明显的幽默。它语言简单、直截了当，常常以取笑他人为乐。说笑打闹这种形式过去是、现在仍然是滑稽说笑演员和小丑的惯用技巧。它为不同年龄、不同文化背景的人们所喜爱。几乎本世纪的每个讲英语的滑稽说笑演员都曾以这样或那样的方式说过下面这则笑话。一位男士问另一位男士：“昨晚我看到的那位和你在一起的贵妇是谁？”那位男士回答道：“那可不是什么贵妇，那是我老婆。”这个笑话的幽默之处在于第二位男士说他的妻子不是一位贵妇，也就是说她不是一个高雅的女人。这个笑话并没有因为经常讲而变得不再那么好笑。由于这是一个经典笑话，观众都知道要说什么，而且因为大家对这个笑话很熟悉而更加珍爱它。 8 中国的相声是一种特殊的滑稽剧。相声中两名中国喜剧演员幽默地谈论诸如官僚主义者、家庭问题或其他一些有关个人的话题。相声随处都能听到，无论是在乡村的小舞台上，还是在北京最大的剧院里，抑或在广播、电视上。它显然是中国人家喻户晓的一种传统的幽默形式。 9 “俏皮话”不像滑稽剧那样浅显，它是因语言的误用或误解而引人发笑。我特别喜欢

最新Unit 6 Risks新编大学英语第二版第四册课文翻译资料

Unit 6 Risks Risks and You At some time or other, all of us have played the part of a hypochondriac, imagining that we have some terrible disease on the strength of very minor symptoms. Some people just have to hear about a new disease and they begin checking themselves to see if they may be suffering from it. But fear of disease is not our only fear, and neither is risk of disease the only risk we run. Modern life is full of all manner of threats-to our lives, our peace of mind, our families, and our future. And from these threats come questions that we must pose to ourselves: Is the food I buy safe? Are toys for my children likely to hurt them? Should my family avoid smoked meats? Am I likely to be robbed on vacations? Our uncertainties multiply indefinitely. Anxiety about the risks of life is a bit like hypochondria; in both, the fear or anxiety feeds on partial information. But one sharp difference exists between the two. The hypochondriac can usually turn to a physician to get a definitive clarification of the situation-either you have the suspected disease or you don't. It is much more difficult when anxiety about other forms of risk is concerned, because with many risks, the situation is not as simple. Risks are almost always a matter of probability rather than certainty. You may ask, "Should I wear a seat belt?" If you' re going to have a head-on collision, of course. But what if you get hit from the side and end up trapped inside the vehicle, unable to escape because of a damaged seat belt mechanism? So does this mean that you should spend the extra money for an air bag? Again, in head-on collisions, it may well save your life. But what if the bag accidentally inflates while you are driving down the highway, thus causing an accident that would never have occurred otherwise? All of this is another way of saying that nothing we do is completely safe. There are risks, often potentially serious ones, associated with every hobby we have, every job we take, every food we eat-in other words, with every action. But the fact that there are risks associated with everything we are going to do does not, or should not, reduce us to trembling neurotics. Some actions are riskier than others. The point is to inform ourselves about the relevant risks and then act accordingly. For example, larger cars are generally safer than small ones in collisions. But how much safer? The answer is that you are roughly twice as likely to die in a serious crash in a

大学英语4课文原文

Para1 An artist who seeks fame is like a dogchasing his own tail who, when he captures it, does not know what else to do but to continue chasing it.The cruelty of success is that it often leads those who seek such success to participate in their own destruction. 艺术家追求成名，如同狗自逐其尾，一旦追到手，除了继续追逐不知还能做些什么。成功之残酷正在于它常常让那些追逐成功者自寻毁灭。 "Don't quit your day job!" is advice frequently given by understandably pessimistic family members and friends to a budding artist who is trying hard to succeed. The conquest of fame is difficult at best, and many end up emotionally if not financially bankrupt. Still, impure motives such as the desire for worshipping fans and praise from peers may spur the artist on. The lure of drowning in fame's imperial glory is not easily resisted. 对一名正努力追求成功并刚刚崭露头角的艺术家，其亲朋常常会建议“正经的饭碗不能丢！”他们的担心不无道理。追求出人头地，最乐观地说也困难重重，许多人到最后即使不是穷困潦倒，也是几近精神崩溃。 Fame's spotlight can be hotter than a tropical jungle－a fraud is quickly exposed, and the pressure of so much attention is too much for most to endure.It takes you out of yourself: You must be what the public thinks you are, not what you really are or could be. The performer, like the politician, must often please his or her audiences by saying things he or she does not mean or fully believe. Curiously enough, it is those who fail that reap the greatest reward: freedom! They enjoy the freedom to express themselves in unique and original ways without fear of losing the support of fans. Failed artists may find comfort in knowing that many great artists never found fame until well after they had passed away or in knowing that they did not sell out. They may justify their failure by convincing themselves their genius is too sophisticated for contemporary audiences. Unit2 He was an immensely talented man, determined to a degree unusual even in the ranks of Hollywood stars. His huge fame gave him the freedom—and, more importantly, the money—to be his own master. He already had the urge to explore and extend a talent he discovered in himself as he went along. "It can't be me. Is that possible? How extraordinary," is how he greeted the first sight of himself as the Tramp on the screen. But that shock rousedhis imagination.Chaplin didn't have his jokes written into a script in advance; he was the kind of comic who used his physical senses to invent his art as he went along. Lifeless objects especially helped Chaplin make "contact" with himself as an artist. He turned them into other kinds of objects. Thus, a broken alarm clock in the movie The Pawnbroker became a "sick" patient undergoing surgery; boots were boiled in his film The Gold Rush and their soles eaten with salt and pepper like prime cuts of fish (the nails being removed like fish bones). This physical transformation, plus the skill with which he executed it again and again, is surely the secret of Chaplin's great comedy. He also had a deep need to be loved—and a corresponding fear of being betrayed. The two were hard to combine and sometimes—as in his early marriages—the collision between them resulted in disaster. Yet even this painfully-bought self-knowledge found its way into his comic creations. The Tramp never loses his faith in the flower girl who'll be waiting to walk into the sunset with him; while the other side of Chaplin makes Monsieur Verdoux, the French wife killer, into a symbol of hatred for women.
