閱讀一 尋找琥珀
普魯士國王腓特烈·威廉一世從未想過他送個普魯士人民偉大的禮物會有一點如此驚奇的歷史。這個禮物是因為由幾噸琥珀製成而命名的琥珀屋。這些被挑選的琥珀都有著像蜂蜜一樣漂亮的黃棕色。這間屋的設計是當時最流行的奇特的風格。這同樣是一件花了當時最好的藝術家大約十年用黃金和珠寶修飾製成的寶物。
事實上，這間屋不是制來當禮物的。這是為腓特烈一世的領土而設計的。然而，普魯士下一任國王同樣是琥珀屋的擁有者，腓特烈威廉一世決定不保留琥珀屋。在1716年他把琥珀屋送給了彼得大帝。作為報答，沙皇給了腓特烈一隊他最好的士兵。因此琥珀屋成為了沙皇避寒聖地聖彼得堡的一部分。琥珀屋作為一個大概四米長的只為重要訪客的小接待處。 後來，葉卡捷琳娜二世把琥珀屋在聖彼得堡之外的一個她避暑的地方。她讓她的藝術家加了跟多的細節在裡面。在1770年琥珀屋完全成了她想要的樣子。接近600隻蠟燭在屋內燃燒著，把鏡子和圖畫都照得像金子一樣。令人傷心的，雖然被譽為是世界奇跡之一的琥珀屋現在丟失了。
在1941年9月，納粹軍隊在聖彼得堡附近。這正是兩個國家在交戰的時候。在納粹去到避暑地方之前，俄國人民能夠從琥珀屋裡搬走一些傢具和小的藝術品。然而，一些納粹神秘的偷走了琥珀屋。至少兩天內100000多片琥珀被放進27個木箱里。這些箱子無疑會被放進一艘去往當時德軍駐扎的菠蘿的海的哥尼斯堡的船上。之後，琥珀屋發生了神馬仍然是個迷。 最近，俄國和德國人民在避暑的地方製造了一座新的琥珀屋。通過研究之前的琥珀屋的照片，他們製造了一座新的琥珀屋像舊的那座一樣。在2003年它被聖彼得堡的人民用來慶祝這座城市的300歲生日。

一個事實還是一個觀點
神馬是事實？是一些人們相信的東西嗎？不！事實是可以被證明的任何事。例如，可以證明中國人口比世界上任何其他國家的人口都要多。這是一個事實。
那麼神馬是一個觀點？一個觀點是人們相信那是真的但還沒有被證明的。所以一個觀點在一個審判中不是一個好的證據。例如，如果你說「貓是比狗好的寵物」這會是一個觀點。這可能是真的，不過很難去證明。一些人可能不同意這個觀點不過他們也不能去證明他們是對的。 在一場審批中，一個審判官一定要去決定相信哪個目擊者哪個目擊者不應該相信。這個審判官不會去考慮每個目擊者的長相或人們在哪裡居住或工作。他/她只關心目擊者是否會提供真是的信息，信息一定是事實而不是觀點。這類的信息被稱為證據。
第二單元 奧林匹克運動會
閱讀一 一個采訪
大約2000年前的一個希臘作者帕薩尼亞斯(P)，在2007年3月18日踏上了一段魔幻的旅程去查明關於現代的奧林匹克運動會。他正在采訪一個2008年奧林匹克運動會志願者李岩(L)。 P:我是帕薩尼亞斯。我住在你們所說的「古希臘」而且在很久之前我常常寫以一些關於奧林匹克運動會的事情。我來到你的時代是為了解關於現代奧林匹克運動會因為我知道2004年奧林匹克運動會會在我家鄉舉辦。我可以問你一些關於現代奧林匹克運動會的問題么？ L:真是極為愉快的事!你真的來自那麼久遠的時代么？不過當然你可以問你想問的問題。你想知道神馬？
P:你們多久會舉辦一次運動會？
L:四年一次。有兩種主要的運動會形式--冬季和夏季奧運會，並且在一個有規律的基礎上他們都是四年舉辦一次的。冬季奧運會一般會在夏季奧運會前兩年舉辦。只有達到該項目既定的標準的運動員才會被容許成為競爭者。他們可以來自世界各地。 P:冬季奧運會？田徑運動員如何在冬季享受比賽？還有馬術又怎樣？
L:哦不!冬季奧運會沒有賽跑和騎馬的項目。反而會有一些像滑雪和溜冰這些需要雪和冰的項目。這就是為神馬他成為冬季奧運會。只有在夏季奧運會會有你說賽跑，同時還有游泳，帆船運動和所有團隊運動。
P:我懂了。之前你說那些運動員都被邀請來自世界各地。你了解希臘世界么？我們希臘城過去互相競賽只為勝利的榮譽。沒有其他的地區可以參加，奴隸和婦女也不可以。 L:現在只要他們的運動員夠好的話任何國家都可以參加。有超過250種項目並且每一種都有它自己的標准。婦女不僅允許參加比賽，並且她們在體操比賽，競技比賽，團隊比賽和其他各種比賽中都扮演著重要的角色。
P:麻煩稍等一下！所有的這些項目，所有的國民甚至婦女都可以參加！那麼這些運動員們居住在哪裡？
L:在每一場奧運會前，一座特別的村莊會被建來給他們居住，還有一座主要的接待建築，幾個用來比賽的體育場和一座體育館等
P:那聽起來很貴。有哪個國家會想要舉辦奧運會么？
L:事實上，每個國家都想要這個機會。這是一個很大的責任同樣是一個很大的榮譽如果被挑選到。在國家之間有很多競爭去為舉辦奧運會就像去贏得奧林匹克獎牌一樣。2008年的奧運會將會在北京舉行。這你知道么？ P:哦是的！你一定非常自豪。
L:當然。之後的2012年奧運會將在倫敦舉行。他們早就開始為這個做准備了。一座讓運動員居住的村莊和所有的運動場將會被建在東倫敦。當然新的獎牌會被設計......
P:你是說獎牌么？所以甚至是橄欖花圈也已經被取代了！哦親愛的！你們比賽也為了獎金么？
L:不我們不。現在仍然想要跑得更快跳的更高扔得更遠。正如你知道的奧運會的格言-「更快更高更強」。
P:好吧，那是個好消息。多麼有趣啊！耽擱你的時間，謝謝了。

亞特蘭大的故事
亞特蘭大是一個希臘公主。她很漂亮並且可以跑得比希臘的任何一個男人都快。不過她不被允許在奧運會上跑步去為她自己贏得榮譽。她很生氣因此她跟她父親說她不會嫁任何跑不過她的男人。她父親說她必須要嫁，所以亞特蘭大與她父親定下一個條件。她對她父親說，「這是我的原則。如果有男人說想要嫁我，我會跟她賽跑。如果他跑不贏我，他會被殺。沒有人能被例外。」
很多國王和王子想要娶亞特蘭大，不過當他們聽到這個規定的時候他們就知道自己沒希望了。所以他們當中的很多人都傷心地回家了，不過其他的人都留著去賽跑。一個叫做希波墨涅斯的男人聽到亞特蘭大的消息後感到非常驚奇，他想「為神馬這些男的都這么愚蠢呢？」「為神馬他們會因為跑不過這個公主而讓自己被殺呢？」然而，當他看到亞特蘭大從她的房子出來跑步的時候，希波墨涅斯改變了他的心意。他說，「我會娶亞特蘭大或者死！」
賽跑開始的時候雖然男人們都跑得很快，但是亞特蘭大總是會更快。希波墨涅斯邊看邊想，「我要怎樣才能贏過亞特蘭大呢？」他去向希臘的愛神求助。愛神答應幫他並給了他三個金蘋果。她說，「在亞特蘭大跑過你的時候扔一個在亞特蘭大面前。當亞特蘭大停下來去撿蘋果的時候，你就可以跑過她並贏得比賽。」希波墨涅斯拿著蘋果並跑去找國王。他說，「我想娶亞特蘭大。」國王傷心地看著又一個男人要死，不過希波墨涅斯說，「我會娶她或者死！」然後賽跑開始了。

閱讀一 我是誰
隨著時間的推移我被改變了很多。在1642年的法國，我是作為一個計算機器而開始的。雖然我很年輕我可以簡化一些計算題。在我被Charles Babbage改造成分析機器之前我很慢的發展了接近兩百年。之後我被一個操作員用帶洞的卡調製成了可以合邏輯地思考並且比任何人都快地得出一些問題的答案。那是一個被成為技術改革的時候並且開始了我的人造智能。在1936年我真正的父親Alan Turing寫了一本關於我如何像普遍的機器一樣去解決任何困難的數學問題的書。從那起，我在體積和智能方面快速的發展。在1940年我變得像一個房間一樣大，並且我想知道我是否還能變得更大。然而，事實也在困擾著我的設計者。隨著時間的推移，我被制的更小。首先是個人電腦再到後來的手提電腦，在1970年我已經開始被用在辦公室和家裡。
這些變化只因為我記憶力的增強。開始記憶被存放於電子管里，然後是晶體管和後來更小的晶片。因此我改變了我的整個外型。隨著我慢慢變老我也慢慢的變小。隨著時間推移我的記憶力發展的那麼快，像頭大象，我不會忘記任何我曾被告知的東西！而且我的記憶力變得如此的大以至於我都不敢相信!不過我總是自己那麼孤單的站在那裡，直到1960年他們通過網路給了我一個家庭關系。我能夠通過萬維網和其他的電腦分享我的知識。從1970年起很多新的應用為我而被發明。我在交流，金融和貿易方面變得重要。我同樣被放進遙控裝置中被用來製造行動電話也幫助醫學手術。我已經被放進太空火箭並被送去探測月亮和火星。即使如此，我的目的是為人們提供高質量的生活。我現在充滿快樂應為我成為了人類種族中的一個忠心的朋友和幫助者。

機器人-Andy
我是一個機器人球隊的一份子。我們被允許在一齊踢足球大約一年了。我像一個人類一樣高大。事實上，我長得也像人類。在球隊里我是前鋒因此我要跑得非常快。我的電腦晶元幫助我移動並且像人類一樣思考。例如，我已經學會了當我要開動去射一個好球的時候用電腦語言向我的隊友發信號讓他們把球傳給我。
我的第一場足球比賽是在幾年前在日本的名古屋。去年我們球隊去了美國華盛頓和西雅圖。我們勝利的第二個地方。就我個人觀點，我認為我們球隊第一次贏的地方是作弊的。他們已經在比賽之前一種新的程序類型。所以我們也要促進我們的程序去提高我們的智能。我們決心要去一種甚至更好的標志。一定程度上說我們的程序就像我們的教練。她訓練我們所有在人類比賽中她能看到的所有可能的動作。如果一種新情況出現她會准備可靠的動作去運用。用這種方式我可以用我的「人造只能」去製造新的動作。我能夠被編程成像人類一樣的表現我就可以真的與一隊人類球隊去比賽。畢竟，在我不會忘掉任何東西的電子腦袋的幫助下，我的所有就是用我的智能！

閱讀一 Daisy如何學習去幫助野生動物
Daisy常常渴望去幫助瀕臨滅絕的種類的野生動物。一天她醒來發現一個正在飛行的飛毯在她包里。「你想去哪裡？」它問。Daisy立刻回答它。「我想去看那些瀕臨滅絕的動物，」她說。「請帶我去那個我可以找到供給皮毛去製造這件毛衣的動物的一個遙遠的地方。」飛毯立刻帶她飛去了西藏。在那裡Daisy看到了一支看起來很傷心的羚羊。它說，「我們被殺是為了我們肚子下的毛。我們的皮毛被人類用來製造像你這樣的毛衣。因此，現在我們是一種瀕臨滅絕的種類。」然後Daisy哭喊著，「我很抱歉我不知道那些。我想知道神馬可以被做來幫助你們。飛毯，請帶我去一個有一些野生動物保護區的地方。」
飛毯飛得如此的快以至於他們下一分鍾就在Zimbabwe。Daisy轉來轉去然後發現她被一頭大象盯著。「你過來跟我照相了么？」它問。Daisy鬆了口氣突然笑起來。「不要笑，」大象說，「我們曾經是瀕臨滅絕的品種。農民好不仁慈地獵殺我們。他們說我們破壞了他們的天地，和來自那些只游覽大工廠的遊客的錢。所以政府決定去幫助。他們允許遊客給錢農民然後可以去獵殺確定數量的動物。現在農民很高興而且我們的數量在增加。所以好事情正被做於營救當地的野生動物。」 Daisy微笑了。「那是個好消息。它展示了野生動物保護的重要性，不過我喜歡去幫助像WWF這樣的建議。」飛毯再次升起然後幾乎同一時間他們在一個陰霾的熱帶雨林。一支猴子看著他們就像它摩擦它自己。「你在干神馬？」Daisy問。「我在保護自己不受蚊子的傷害，」它回答。「當我找到一隻千足蟲昆蟲，我會在我身上摩擦它。它包涵了一種強大的可以影響蚊子的葯物。你應該更加註意那些我居住的熱帶雨林並好好鑒賞動物們如何居住在一齊。沒有雨林，沒有動物，沒有葯物。」 Daisy很驚訝。「飛毯，請帶我回家這樣我可以聯系WWF並開始保護這種新的葯物。猴子，請過來幫忙。」那猴子同意了。飛毯飛回家了。當他們降落時，事物開始消失了。兩分鍾後所有東西都消失了-那隻猴子也是。所以Daisy不能去製造她的新葯物。不過如此的一段經歷！她已經學習了那麼多！還有那裡的WWF......

並非樂隊的樂隊
你曾經想過要成為一個樂隊里有名的歌手或音樂家嗎？你是否曾夢想過在音樂會上面對成千上萬的觀眾演唱，觀眾欣賞你的歌唱為你鼓掌嗎？你唱卡拉OK時是否假裝自己就是像宋祖英或劉歡一樣著名的歌星嗎？說實在的，很多人把名和利看得很重。那麼，人們又是怎樣一起組成樂隊的呢？
許多音樂家聚在一起組成樂隊，是因為他們喜歡自己作曲，演奏自己的音樂。他們開始可能是一組中學生，在某個人家裡排練音樂是成名的第一步。有時他們可能在街上或地鐵里為過路人演奏，這樣他們可以為自己或自己要買的樂器多掙一些錢。後來，他們可能在酒吧或者俱樂部里演出，這樣他們可以得到現金。當然，他們希望在錄音棚里錄音，然後賣掉上百萬張碟，從而成為百萬富翁。
然而，也有一個用不同方式組建起來的樂隊。這支樂隊叫「門基樂隊」，它開始時是以電視節目表演的形式出現的。組成樂隊的音樂人演奏音樂，還彼此打趣都笑。這些玩笑和音樂大多都在模仿「甲殼蟲」樂隊。電視製作人原計劃想尋找四位會唱又會表演的樂手。他們在報紙上登了一則廣告，想招搖滾樂手，但他們只招到一個滿意的。樂隊的其他三人只能用演員來代替。
因為這些演員中有些人唱得不是很好，他們不得不依靠隊里的其他人幫助。所以在演出的時候他們只是假唱。不管怎樣，他們的表演非常幽默以至於其他的樂隊也開始模仿。他們非常走紅使得歌迷們為了更加熟悉他們而成立了俱樂部。門基樂隊每個星期都要在電視上演唱由別的音樂家創作的歌曲。然而，經過大約一年以後，門基樂隊逐漸對自己的工作認真起來，他們開始像一支真正的樂隊那樣演唱自己創作的歌曲。然後他們錄制自己的唱片，並且開始巡迴表演他們自己的音樂。在美國，他們甚至比「甲殼蟲」樂隊還要受歡迎，出售的錄音專輯還要多。「門基樂隊」大約在1970年左右解散，但是令人高興的是，到80年代中期他們再次聚首。在1996年，他們推出了一張新的專輯，像真正的樂隊一樣以此來慶祝他們以往的時光。
Ⅱ 英語閱讀traveling in the jungle急求翻譯
Traveling in the Jungle
Jungle country is not friendly to man, but it is possible to survive there. You must have the right equipment and you must know a few important things about woodcraft. Then your chances of staying alive are very good.
No one should go into the jungle without the right equipment. You need lightweight clothing, a good knife, and a compass. Fishhooks and a line, a rifle and ammunition, matches in a waterproof container are necessary too. So is a mosquito net to protect the head.
In the jungle you can get hopelessly lost within five minutes after leaving a known landmark. That is why you should always carry a compass. In open country, ring the day, you can tell which way to go by studying the sun. At night the stars are sure guides to direction. But in most places the jungle rooftop is so thick that it is impossible to see the sun or the stars. Again and again you must check your position by compass.
Keep watchful. Watch the ground in front of you carefully. Stop and listen now and again. Avoid haste, and rest often. In a place that is hot and damp, the person who sets a fast pace will soon become tired. A steady, even pace is wisest in the long run.
If you lose your way, don』t be scared. Try to decide how long it has been since you were sure of your position. Mark the spot where you are on a tree. Put the marks on four sides of the tree , so that you will be able to see them from any direction. Then you can begin retracing your steps, knowing that you can always find the spot from which you started. Except in an emergency, never try to travel through the jungle at night.
Whenever possible, it is wise to follow streams and rivers that are going in your general direction. This may cause you many extra miles of travel. But in the end it will save time and energy. Nothing is more exhausting than cutting out a trail cross-country through unbroken jungle.
If a river is broad and deep and has no rapids, rafting is the best means of travel. Bamboo grows along the banks of many jungle streams. Since it is hollow and extremely strong, it makes a perfect raft.
If possible, stay away from high ridges when you are traveling through jungle country. They are often covered with climbing palms. They have sharp thorns that cut and tear at your clothing. Even with a sharp knife, it is almost impossible to cut out a path through climbing palms without getting completely caught in them.
Mosquitoes will be with you all the time. The only defense against them is to wear the right kind of clothing. You should never wear shorts in the jungle. Your trousers must be lightweight and long. The legs of the trousers should be tucked into your boot tops.
Finding water that is safe to drink can be a problem. Many clear and fresh-looking streams and rivers carry germs that can be deadly to man. Streams found near native villages are always dangerous, even if they are clear and fresh-looking. Such water must always be boiled before you drink it .
Luckily, the jungle has many kinds of plants and vines that give water. The big rough-barked vines called lianas (藤蔓植物) are one of the best sources of water. A section several feet long should give you more than a cup of clear water. Water from almost all plants is pure enough to drink. But stay away from vines that have bitter or milky juice.
Many jungle plants also provide food. Before you go into the jungle, learn to recognize the varieties of plants that can be eaten. If you haven』t had a chance to do this, watch what kinds of fruits and nuts the birds and monkeys choose. Such food is almost always safe for a man to eat.
When you are seeking meat, rivers and streams are the best places to hunt. You do not need to be familiar with the many different kinds of birds and animals. You can eat any of them.
Animals that do not eat plants eat each other. When you see an animal in the jungle, you can be sure that its source of food is somewhere close by. That source may mean for you the difference between going to sleep well-fed or hungry.
Surviving in the jungle is a science. The jungle peoples have become perfect in this science, and you can too. Learn as much as you can about what to expect in the jungle. Make sure you have the right equipment

行走在叢林
叢林是不友善的人，但有可能在那裡生存。你必須有正確的設備，你必須知道的幾個重要的東西圖片。然後你活命的機會是非常好的。
沒有人應該進入叢林中沒有合適的設備。你需要輕薄的衣服，好刀，和指南針。魚鉤和線，步槍和彈葯，在防水容器也很有必要。是一所以蚊帳保護頭部。
在叢林中你可以得到無望後五分鍾內留下一個著名的標志。這就是為什麼你應該總是攜帶一個指南針。在開放的國家，在白天，你可以告訴它的方式去研究太陽。夜晚星星一定指導方向。但在大多數地方的叢林的屋頂很厚，它是不可能看到的太陽或星星。一次又一次你必須檢查你的位置的指南針。
保持警惕。看你前面的地面仔細。不要聽了。避免匆忙，並經常休息。在一個地方是炎熱和潮濕，誰的人設置一個快節奏很快會變得疲憊。一個穩定的，甚至是最聰明的步伐在長期運行。
如果你失去你的方式，不要害怕。試圖決定如何長時間以來你確定你的位置。標記的地方你是在樹上。把商標的四側面上，這樣你將能夠看到他們從任何方向。然後你就可以追溯你的步驟，因為你總是可以找到的地方，你開始。除在緊急情況下，不要試圖穿過叢林的夜晚。
只要有可能，它是明智的後續溪流和河流，在您的方向。這會使你許多額外英里的旅行。但最後會節省時間和精力。什麼是更比切割出一排越野穿越連綿的叢林。
如果一個河寬且深，沒有急流泛舟，是最好的旅行方式。竹子生長在河岸叢林溪流。因為它是空心的，非常強大的，它使一個完美的筏。
如果可能，遠離山脊當你穿過叢林的國家。他們經常爬滿棕櫚樹。他們有尖銳的刺，剪切和撕裂你的服裝。即使是一把鋒利的刀，它幾乎是不可能的，剪出一個路徑通過登山手掌沒有得到完全陷入了他們。
蚊子會一直陪著你。唯一的防禦是穿合適的衣服。你不應該穿短褲在叢林。你的褲子要輕，長。褲子的腿要塞進你啟動上衣。
尋找安全飲用水，可以是一個問題。許多清晰新鮮的溪流和河流攜帶的病菌，可以致命的男人。溪流附近發現土著村莊都是危險的，即使他們是明確的，新鮮的。這樣的水必須煮熟才能喝。
幸運的是，叢林里有許多種植物和藤本植物和水。大rough-barked葡萄藤（稱為藤蔓植物）是最好的一個來源的水。一段幾英尺長應該給你超過一杯清水。水從幾乎所有的植物是足夠純凈酒。但遠離藤有苦味或乳白色的汁液。
叢林植物也提供食物。你進入叢林之前，學會承認的植物品種，可以吃。如果你沒有機會這樣做，看哪種水果和堅果的鳥類和猴子選擇。這些食品幾乎都是安全的人吃。
當你正在尋找肉，河流和溪流是最好的地方打獵。你不需要熟悉許多不同種類的鳥和動物。你可以吃任何人。
動物不吃植物吃對方。當你看見一個動物在叢林中，你可以肯定，其食物來源是接近的。這可能意味著你之間的差異要睡飽或飢餓。
生存在叢林是科學。叢林人民已成為完美的科學，你也可以。盡可能多地了解你所期待的叢林。確保你有正確的設備。
有不通順的地方請自己改一下......謝謝.

蚊子相關英文閱讀：為什麼咬我不咬他?Research reveals why some people are constantly under attack from the bloodsucking insects, while others walk free.
研究揭示了為什麼有些人總是會受到吸血蟲蚊子的襲擊而有些人卻可以平安無事。
For those unfortunate enough to feature highly on the mosquito hit list, summer nights are synonymous with mosquito bites. Yet others hardly ever get bitten. So how do the bloodthirsty insects select their victims?
對那些很不幸被蚊子列為叮咬對象的人們來說，夏夜就是蚊蟲叮咬的代名詞。而有些人卻從沒被蚊子叮咬過。那麼這些吸血蟲是如何選擇它們的受害對象的呢?
Scientists rubbed petri dishes against their stomachs. The mosquito season gives rise to countless speculations about possible solutions to the age-old mystery of mosquito preferences.
科學家們把培養皿自己的腹部進行擦拭。對於關於蚊子喜好的可能性解釋，蚊子的繁殖季節提供了無數的猜想。
The insects' tastes may seem arbitrary. However, research reveals that when mosquitoes make their choice between potential victims, it all comes down to scent:
昆蟲的口味好像很隨意。然而研究顯示當蚊子要從潛在的受害者中選擇對象時，還是氣味起了決定作用。
Mosquitoes are attracted by carbon dioxide and heat, which everyone gives off. But mosquitoes are also attracted by certain scents.Karl-Martin Vagn Jensen. According to Jensen, it has not yet been established exactly what the scents in question are. But research does indicate that some scents are more attractive to mosquitoes than others.
"蚊子會被每個人都會散發出的二氧化碳和熱量所吸引，但蚊子也會被某些特定的氣味所吸引。" 丹麥阿爾胡斯大學農學部研究的負責人卡爾馬丁-威詹森說。根據他的說法，目前仍沒確定那些會吸引蚊子的氣味到底是哪些。但研究的確指出了有些氣味相比較 其它 氣味而言更會吸引蚊子。
"All the lab employees rubbed petri dishes against their stomachs. In that way, their scents were deposited on the dishes, which were then put in an enclosure full of mosquitoes," he says.
"所有的實驗室人員都把培養皿在他們的腹部輕輕擦了擦。通過這種方式，他們的氣味就存儲在了培養皿里，然後把培養皿放置在一個蚊子出沒的地方。"
"The mosquitoes repeatedly landed on some of the petri dishes, but didn't go anywhere near the others. "
"蚊子會反復地停留在某些培養皿上，卻不會飛到附近其它的培養皿上。"
Vitamin B does not scare off mosquitoes. The experiment is one of several to squash one of the many myths concerning the unfortunate art of mosquito attraction.
維他命B並不能嚇走蚊子。這個實驗也戳穿了諸多關於吸引蚊子的"倒霉學問" 迷信。
While some believe that it is in fact sour blood that keeps the insects at bay, or that the mosquitoes can detect blood disease, others are convinced that vitamin B provides protection against mosquitoes.
有些研究人員認為血液的酸性環境讓蚊蟲無法存活，或是蚊子可以檢測血液疾病，而另一些人相信維他命B提供了免於蚊蟲叮咬的保護。
However, there is no indication that any of these theories are correct, says Jensen: "There is no truth to that. The theory about vitamin B has been tested very, very thoroughly, and it doesn't hold."
然而，沒有證據表明這些理論都是正確的。詹森說："關於這一點還沒有任何存在的事實。關於維他命B的理論已經反反復復經過了論證，但這種說法似乎站不住腳。"
Perhaps taking inspiration from popular fiction, there are also those who swear by garlic as an excellent repellent against the winged bloodsuckers. According to the researcher, though unsubstantiated, this strategy may not be entirely fruitless:
也許可以從流行小說里得到一些啟發，也有些人宣稱大蒜是一種可以用來對付蚊子很好的防蟲劑。據研究人員透露，盡管還未經證實，但這種 方法 也並非完全無效：
"As far as I know, there is no scientific proof that eating garlic works. But there may be something to the theory that it's possible to mask your scent with garlic," he says.
"就我所知，目前沒有科學依據證明吃大蒜會有效預防蚊蟲叮咬。但在理論上它也許是行得通的，可以用大蒜來掩蓋你的氣味。"詹森說。
The only reliable method of protection against mosquitoes is to use one of the effective repellents that are sold over the counter. Mosquito repellent contains some smells that confuse the mosquitoes. The first thing a mosquito does when looking for prey is to see if there are any animals or people in the vicinity.
唯一有效的免於蚊蟲叮咬的方法是使用在櫃台處買來的對付蚊蟲的強效防蚊劑。防蚊劑包含了一些讓蚊子產生混淆的氣味。蚊子尋找獵物要做的第一件事是查看附近有沒有動物和人。
"When the mosquito comes closer, it uses smell, heat and carbon dioxide to decide whether to bite. But if it is confused by a repellent, it will never get that far," says Jensen. However, even repellents do not provide complete protection against the persistent insects.
"當蚊子靠近時，它會根據氣味、熱量和二氧化碳來決定是不是要叮咬。但如果它被防蟲劑弄迷糊了，它不會輕率行動。"詹森說。然而，即使是防蟲劑也沒有為人們提供保護，讓我們完全免於蚊蟲頻繁襲擊。
"Repellents rece the number of bites by as much as 70 percent. That's all well and good, but you'll still get bitten once in a while."
"防蟲劑可以減少蚊蟲的叮咬次數，最多能降低70%。這樣的效果也算很不錯了，但你仍會時不時地被咬上一口。"

瘧疾，世界上寄生蟲引起的傳染最廣泛的疾病，每年有3百萬人死於這種疾病，大部分是非洲5歲以下的貧窮兒童。多年來，盡管具體的數字大多數人不知道或沒有關注而無法准確評估，但有5億多的病例死於這種疾病。對於一個年收入只有200多美元的家庭，花費4分之一的收入去治療瘧疾這並不現實，而且這些人經常失業。像坦尚尼亞，莫三比克，甘比亞這類國家，沒有家庭，農村，醫院和工作場所能長時間的維持健康狀態。
瘧疾發病很突然，伴隨著暴寒，同時又高燒，和頭痛。隨著寄生蟲的成倍繁殖，它們占據了整個身體，瘧疾蟲依靠吃它們感染的紅細胞而生存。它們能依附在血管上進而到達大腦。如果你沒有死亡，瘧疾會每年反復發作。這種疾病通過母蚊子和4分之一種的寄生蟲來傳播。蚊子和寄生蟲和在一起，是地球歷史最致命的一對，並且是最成功的。瘧疾蟲有5千個基因，並且它能很快的改變基因從而保護自己，抵抗那些新的幾乎自己不能控制的葯物。研究表明，蚊子能夠更快速的傳播病毒，而且更容易在人口龐大的城市爆發。部分疾病的傳播是由於全球變暖而導致的。
數十年來，在非洲治療瘧疾的首選方式是使用葯物氯喹寧，這是一種非常便宜並且容易生產的化學製品。不幸的是，世界大部分地區，瘧疾蟲開始變得能夠抵抗這種葯物。成功的其他地方葯物已經可用了，但是它們供應緊缺，並也很貴。如果這些葯物也失效了，沒有人知道接下去會怎樣。

初一英語天天練：閱讀理解--煩人的蚊子
We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.
No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. It』s true that male mosquito doesn』t bite(咬) and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn』t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You』re different from the others!
If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(癢) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itching begins, and she has flown away.
And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.
1. 「Mosquito」 means _______ in Chinese.
A. 蒼蠅 B. 蜻蜓
C. 跳蚤 D. 蚊子
2. We know mosquitoes very well because ___________.
A. they can be found easily B. they fly here and there
C. there are many kinds of them D. they can fly
3. If the mosquito doesn』t bite you, it will ________.

C. make a lot of noise D. choose another one
4. The mosquito bites you _________.
A. when you』re asleep B. because you have choose it
C. too quickly to let you know D. but doesn』t like you
5. Which of the following sentences is wrong?
A. The itching begins after the mosquito bites you.
B. You feel terrible when the mosquito bites you.
C. Mosquitoes use blood to lay eggs.
D. All the mosquitoes don』t like to bite people for blood.
答案及解析：
1. D。 「吸血」和「會飛」是mosquitoes的兩個主要特徵。根據這兩個特點，聯系生活常識，即可選定答案。另外，讀罷全文之後，也能將其餘選項予以排除。
2. B。 「We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere.」一句是答案的出處。
3. D。 答案就在「But if she doesn』t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood.」這句話之中。
4. C。 答案的依據是「…she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different.」一句。
5. B。 其餘三項在文中都有明確的說明。根據上面那個小題的內容，B項明顯是錯誤的。
高考英語閱讀理解真題解析·最初的和最後的人類
導語：2014高考臨近，我為考生們整理了高考英語閱讀理解真題解析 ， 希望對大家有所幫助。
Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations(文明), broken up by long 「dark ages」 in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.
However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred? The next thousand? The next million? That』s much more difficult.
When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive(原始的) in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels, or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can』t think of.
So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live because we are careless or greedy(貪婪) or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.
Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set you imagination free when you think about the future.
1. A particular mention made of Stapledon』s book in the opening paragraph ________.
A. serves as a description of human history
B. serves an introction to the discussion
C. shows a disagreement of views
D. shows the popularity of the book
2. The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order to show that ________.
A. human history is extremely long
B. life has changed a great deal
C. it is useless to plan for the next 50 years
D. it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future
3. Spundels and ballalators are used in the text to refer to ________.
A. tools used in farming
B. ideas about modern life
C. unknown things in the future
D. hunting skills in the Stone Age
4. according to the writer of the text, imagining the future will ________.
A. serve the interests of the present and future generations
B. enable us to better understand human history
C. help us to improve farming
D. make life worth living(www.nmet168.com)
【答案與解析】 這是一篇由 Olaf Stapledon 所著的《最初的和最後的人類》而引出的關於幻想未來的文章。
1. B。 用排除法解答：先排除 A，因為這篇短文並非是對人類歷史進行描述;再排除C，因為作者在此文章中並非表明對不同觀點的否定;最後排除 D，因為作者並非要說明這本書的普遍意義。至於 B 項內容，正好符合這本書引導人們討論的意圖，故應選 B。
2. D。 文中提及五萬年前，處於狩獵時代的人們不可能勾勒出現代生活的畫卷;也許我們將來會被認為是我們所認為的原始人，正如石器時代的狩獵者和我們相比一樣，可知要預測較為遙遠的未來是一件困難的事情。
3. C。 從上下文可知，這四個詞彙是作者杜撰的，用以形象地表示五萬年後未知的事物和行為。
4. A。 文中提及現在即開始對未來展開想像，是基於兩點理由：人生是有限的;我們可能得到一些對我們自己切實可行的新見解。文中還提及如果我們因粗心大意和貪得無厭而把地球弄得一塌糊塗而不能居住，我們的子孫們就不難找到遷怒於我們的理由，故應選A。

初中英語閱讀知識點：閱讀理解的解題技巧
閱讀理解主要考查學生一下幾個方面的閱讀理解能力：
1、理解和把握文章主旨大意、段落大意和中心思想的能力。
2、理解和把握文章具體信息來獲取有關信息能力，及根據上下文提供的語境推測生詞詞義、句意，進而加深對文章的理解能力。
3、根據文章進行簡單的數字推算和計算的能力。
4、既要理解詞、短語、句子和文章的表層意思，更要理解其深層含義和抽象概念的能力。
5、理解全篇的邏輯關系，根據已知信息進行合理的推理判斷和預測新信息的能力。
解題技巧：
1、順序法：先讀懂文章，然後按順序答題。此方法適合內容較易於理解和記憶飛文章。
2、顛倒法：先讀試題再讀文章，這樣我們可以帶著問題有的放矢的閱讀文章並迅速發現答案。
3、交叉法：先閱讀一篇文章，把握中心大意後開始答題，對暫時確定不了的答案，可再次回讀文章的有關內容並對其進行分析、推敲後再確定。
4、排除法：對拿不準的答案，可先逐項排除自己有把握的錯誤選項，再將剩下的答案進行比較、篩選，直到確定最佳答案。
5、要尊重原材料中的信息、觀點，並在此基礎上答題;不要憑想當然、主觀臆斷答題，不要鑽牛角尖。
6、在做任務型閱讀回答問題時，要盡量簡略回答，無關信息盡量刪除。特殊疑問句的回答基本是直接信息，在原文中能直接找到答案。
