生物與環境平衡的危機
The history of life on earth has been a history of interaction between living things and their surroundings. To a large extent, the physical form and the habits of the earth’s vegetation and its animal life have been molded by the environment. Considering the whole span of earthly time, the opposite effect, in which life actually modifies its surroundings, has been relatively slight. Only in the present century has one species man acquired significant power to alter the nature of his world.
During the past quarter century this power has not only become increasingly great but it has changed in character. The most alarming of all man’s assaults upon the environment is the contamination of air, earth, rivers, and sea with dangerous and even lethal materials. This pollution is for the most part irrecoverable. In this now universal contamination of the environment, chemicals are the sinister partners of radiation in changing the very nature of the world the very nature of its life. Chemicals sprayed on croplands or forests or gardens lie long in soil, entering into living organisms, passing from one to another in a chain of poisoning and death. Or they pass mysteriously by underground streams until they emerge and combine into new forms that kill vegetation, sicken cattle, and work unknown harm on those who drink from once pure wells. "Man can hardly even recognize the devils of his own creation," as a scientist has said.
It took hundreds of millions of years to proce the life that now inhabits the earth. Given time not in years but in millennia life adjusts, and a balance has been reached. But in the modern world there is no time.
The rapidity of change follows the impetuous pace of man rather than the deliberate pace of nature. Radiation is now the unnatural creation of man’s tampering with the atom. The chemicals are the synthetic5 creations of man’s inventive mind, having no counterparts in nature.
To adjust to these chemicals would require not merely the years of a man’s life but the life of generations. And even this, were it by some miracle possible, would be futile, for the new chemicals come from our laboratories in an endless stream; almost five hundred annually find their way into actual use in the United States alone. Among them are many that are used in man’s war against nature. Since the mid 1940’s over 200 basic chemicals have been created for use in killing insects, weeds, and other organisms described as "pests."
It is not my contention that chemical insecticides must never be used. I do contend that we have put poisonous and biologically potent chemicals indiscriminately into the hands of persons largely or wholly ignorant of their potentials for harm. We have subjected enormous numbers of people to contact with these poisons, without their consent and often without their knowledge. I contend, furthermore, that we have allowed these chemicals to be used with little or no advance investigation of their effect on soil, water, wildlife, and man himself. Future generations are unlikely to forgive our lack of concern for the integrity of the natural world that supports all life.
地球上生命的歷史一直就是一部生物與其環境相互作用的歷史。在很大程度上，地球上動植物的形態以及習性都是由外部環境所塑造的。考慮到地球上生命存在的整個時間，相反作用，即生命對其周圍環境的實際改變作用，卻相對很小。只有在當前這個世紀(指20世紀)才有一個物種--人類，獲得了強大的力量，改變了其所生存的世界的自然狀態。
在過去的1/4世紀中，這種力量不僅日趨強大，而且其性質也發生了變化。在人類破壞環境的種種行為中，最令人擔憂的是人類向大氣、土壤、河流以及海洋中排放危險甚至致命物質，而當今這種污染在很大程度上是無法挽救的。在當今這種對環境的普遍污染中，化學製品與輻射狼狽為奸，改變著地球的自然狀態，也就是改變著地球上生命的自然狀態。噴灑到農田、森林或者花園里的化學物質長期滯留於土壤中，滲入有機體內，並彼此相傳，形成了一個中毒與死亡的鏈條。化學物質還神秘地通過地下水傳遞，最終以新的形式出現並結合，使植物毒死，牲畜害病，並使飲用一度純凈的井水的人遭受了不明之害。正如一位科學家所言：“人類甚至對自己創造的惡魔都不認識。”
地球歷經了許多億年才創造了棲息其上的生命。經過了一定時間--不是以若干年計而是以若干千年計的時間--生命開始適應環境，並形成了一種與環境的平衡。但是在現代世界中，時間這一因素已經沒有了。
環境改變的速度不再順從大自然從容不迫的節奏，而是順從人類急切匆匆的步伐。輻射是當今人類通過支配原子而得到的一種非自然的創造物。化學製品則是人類有發明創造力的頭腦創造出來的合成物，在自然界本無相應的東西。
為了適應這些化學製品，人類需要付出的時間不會只是一個人一生的時間，而是幾代人的時間。而即使這樣，就算出現奇跡成為可能，這種適應也是徒勞的，因為新的化學製品從我們的實驗室中源源不斷地湧出。僅在美國，每年就有大約500種化學製品投入使用，其中許多是用於人類對自然的戰爭中。從20世紀40年代中期起，人類已經創造了200多種基本化學製品用來消滅昆蟲、野草以及其他所謂的“有害生物”。
我不是說人類決不能使用化學殺蟲劑。我要說的是，我們不分青紅皂白地將這些有毒的、具有強大生物功能的化學製品，交給了那些對這些製品的潛在危害基本上或者完全無知的人去使用。我們使眾多的人接觸這些有毒物質，卻沒有徵得他們的同意，並常常將他們蒙在鼓中。我還要說的一點是，我們允許使用這些化學製品，卻事先很少或者根本沒有調查它們對土壤、水、野生生物以及人類自身造成的影響。我們缺乏對萬物賴以生存的自然界生態統一的關心，對此，我們的後代是不可能原諒的。

基因技術能否使人更聰明?Get Smart
Many people dream of having a smarter brain. Princeton neurobiologist Joseph Z. Tsien found the key. In September he announced that he’d built a better mouse by altering a gene that affects learning and memory. A similar process of gene manipulation might conceivably be used one day to boost intelligence in humans.
The secret lies in a feature of brain cells called the nmda receptor, which Tsien likens[1] to a cylindrical tube or window that mediates[2] the flow of information. When the window is open, chemicals called neurotransmitters flow through easily and memory is registered and stored. But as organisms mature, the window begins to close. (This may explain why children lose their facility for learning new languages when they reach sexual maturity and why some people suffer memory loss as they age.)
Tsien noticed that the receptor worked more efficiently when teamed[3] with the gene NR2B, so he introced extra NR2B genes into a batch of fertilized mouse eggs. In a normal mouse, the memory window is open for just 150-thousandths of a second. In Tsien’s specially engineered mice, the window opens for 250-thousandths of a second, long enough to make a remarkable difference in memory retention. When he pitted[4] his mice against common mice, they won paws down. Ordinary mice could recognize a Lego block for 12 hours, but smart mice could remember the block for up to three days. "That’s a profound enhancement," Tsien says.
Can it be done with humans? Maybe, but genetic engineering will have to make some extraordinary advances first. And some thorny ethical issues will have to be resolved. Meanwhile, Tsien promises to keep his furry little geniuses locked up in a lab, far from your larder. "Otherwise," he says, "you might need a smart cat or a smart mousetrap to catch them."
許多人都希望自己能變成更聰明。普林斯頓神經生物學家Joseph Z. Tsien就找到了這把開啟智慧之門的鑰匙：他於九月宣布，通過改變影響學習和記憶能力的基因培養出了一隻聰明的老鼠。類似的基因處理技術有望在未來日子裡運用到人腦，以推動人類智慧的飛躍。
該技術的奧秘就在於名為nmda感受器的腦細胞的功能。Tsien將其比作一個傳遞信息流的圓柱通道或窗口。當窗口開放時，某種稱為神經傳遞素的化學物質就能輕易流過，記憶因此登記並存儲了下來。然而，當器官成熟時，這扇窗口就開始關閉。(這也能解釋為何 兒童 長大後(性器官成熟之時)會失去掌握新語言的能力，以及為何某些人年老時會患失憶)。
Tsien注意到，當感受器與名為NR2B的基因協作時效率會更高。因此，他將NR2B基因植入一批老鼠的受精卵中。一隻普通老鼠的記憶之窗僅開放千分之150秒。而經Tsien植入基因的老鼠，記憶之窗能開放千分之250秒，這已經能夠使其 記憶力 發生驚人的改變。當他讓自己的老鼠與普通老鼠互斗時，它們竟能輕而易舉地取勝。普通老鼠能夠保留關於Lego block的記憶12小時，而聰明的老鼠居然能將記憶保持三天。“這可是一個意義深遠的進步。”Tsien這樣說。
那麼，人類也能接受這種基因移植嗎? 或許可以，但前提是基因工程得首先做出非凡的成就，還必須解決一系列棘手的倫理問題。Tsien保證他一定會將那些披著毛皮的小天才鎖入實驗室，遠離人們的食品櫃。“否則，”他說，“為了捉住他們，人們就不得不去尋找更聰明的貓或者功能更強的捕鼠器了。”

食用轉基因食品安全嗎?Food Safe To Eat?
Traditional plant breeding involve s crossing varieties of the same species in ways they could cross naturally.For example，disease-resistant varieties of wheat have been crossed with high-yield wheat to combine these properties.This type of natural gene exchange is safe and fairly predictable.
Genetic engineering(GE)involves exchanging genes between unrelated species that cannot naturally exchange genes with each other.GE can involve the exchange of genes between vastly different species――e.g.putting scorpion toxin genes into maize or fish antifreeze genes into tomatoes.It is possible that a scorpion toxin gene，even when it is in maize DNA，will still get the organism to proce scorpion toxin――but what other effects may it have in this alien environment?We are already seeing this problem――adding human growth hormone genes to pigs certainly makes them grow――but it also gives them arthritis and makes them cross-eyed，which was entirely unpredictable.
It will be obvious，for example，that the gene for human intelligence will not have the same effect if inserted into cabbage DNA as it had in human DNA――but what side-effect would it have?In other words，is GM food safe to eat?The answer is that nobody knows because long-term tests have not been carried out.
Companies wanting a GM proct approved in the UK or USA are required to provide regulatory bodies with results of their own safety tests.Monsanto’s soya beans were apparently fed to fish for10weeks before being approved.There was no requirement for independent testing，for long-term testing，for testing on humans or testing for specific dangers to children or allergic people.
The current position of the UK Government is that“ There is no evidence of long-term dangers from GM foods.”In the US，the American Food and Drug Administration is currently being prosecuted for covering up research that suggested possible risks from GM foods.
傳統的植物培育 方法 ，是依照植物自然雜交的方式，進行相同物種的人工雜交。比如，抗病小麥同高產小麥雜交，形成了一種具有雙重特性的新的小麥品種。這種自然的基因交換既安全，又具有相當的可預見性。
基因工程是在彼此毫無關系的物種之間，相互交換在自然條件下無法交換的基因。它可在有巨大差異的物種之間進行基因交換。比如，將蠍子毒素基因注入玉米，或者將魚防凍基因注入西紅柿。即使在玉米DNA中，蠍子毒素基因依然可能獲得有機組織產生蠍子毒素。但是在這種異質的環境中，這種基因產品會有什麼其他作用嗎?我們實際上已經發現這個問題：將人類生長荷爾蒙基因植入豬的體內，一定會使豬的生長加速，但是同時也使豬患上了關節炎和內斜視，而這一切是完全無法預測的。
打個比方，人類的智力基因顯而易見在人體DNA內和注入捲心菜DNA後的作用是不同的。但將它植入捲心菜中會產生什麼樣的副作用呢?換句話說，食用轉基因食品安全嗎?沒有人知道答案，因為人們尚未進行長期的測試。
在英國或者美國，一個公司如果希望其轉基因產品獲得批准，它必須向管理機構提供本公司轉基因產品安全測試的結果。Monsanto的大豆在獲得批准之前，曾用了10周時間進行喂魚試驗。目前，尚無要求對轉基因產品進行獨立測試、長期測試、人體測試，或者就其對兒童及過敏者所造成的特定危險進行測試。
英國政府目前的態度是：“尚無證據表明食用轉基因食品存在長期性的危險。”在美國，人們正在起訴美國食品葯品管理局掩蓋轉基因食品安全性的研究結果，這些研究結果表明，食用轉基因食品可能導致危險。

有關簡單的英語短文篇1
Help a bird
Basically, what we see in this picture is a bird lamenting the fact that its home has been destroyed. Of course, birds usually make their homes in trees, and since there are no trees left in the picture – only the stumps, to show that the original trees have been chopped down – the bird is left without shelter. In fact, the bird has no choice but to perch on the handle of an axe, which has been used to destroy its original home. We can dece from this picture that the drawer is trying to attract our attention to the tragedy of the destruction of forests, which is part of the threat to the ecological balance of the planet. He seems to be saying that soon there will be no trees left in the world. In my opinion, the sad little bird is a symbol of all living things, including human beings, and, like the bird, we too will be left homeless if we allow the destruction of the environment to continue.
This simple picture is a wake – up call for the whole of the human race. If this vivid image of the grim future of our planet is not to become a reality, we must take positive steps right now to put an end the plundering of the Earth’s natural resources. It is clear that the drawer of the picture is urging us to start with a campaign to save the forests, which is something all of us can join by urging our local authorities to take positive measures to save the trees.
我們主要能從這幅圖上看到的是一隻小鳥為自己的家被毀壞而悲傷。當然，鳥類通常把家建在樹上，因為圖中沒有樹了--只有樹樁，表明原來的樹被砍伐了-這只鳥無處藏身。實際上，這只鳥別無選擇，只能停在被用來破壞它原來家園的斧柄上。我們可以從圖中推測出畫家試圖把我們的注意力吸引到森林遭到破壞這一悲劇上，而這正是威脅地球生態平衡的一部分。他似乎想說很快世界上將沒有樹了，但我認為這只可憐的小鳥象徵包括人類在內的所有生物。而且，如果我們允許繼續破壞環境，我們也會像小鳥一樣無家可歸。
這幅簡單的圖畫是對全人類的一個警鍾。如果不想讓這個對這個星球可怕未來的生動的描繪變成現實，我們現在必須採取積極的措施停止掠奪地球的自然資源。很明顯，畫家在力勸我們開始拯救森林的行動。我們都可以參與，敦促當地政府採取措施拯救樹木。

世界環境日World Environment Day
World Environment Day is commemorated each year on June 5th, and started from 1972, which is established by the United Nations General Assembly for raising global awareness to take actions to protect the Nature. The establishment of World Environment Day shows people’s the cognition and the attitude to the environmental problem, and expresses our human beings’ desire of pursuing the better environment. Every year the United Nations Environment Program proposes a theme, and the 2014 theme of this day will focus on‘Small Island and Climate change’and the slogan is “Raise Your Voice Not the Sea Level”.This year's slogan is "To improve environmental quality The development of green".
世界環境日為每年的6月5日，起始於1972年，它是聯合國為了提高全球的環保意識而創建的。環境日的創立展現了人們對環境問題的認識和態度，表達了人們對美好環境的追求渴望。每一年聯合國環境規劃署都會提出一個環境日主題，而2014年的主題主要著重於小島嶼與氣候變化，口號是“提高你的呼聲，而不是海平面”。今年的口號是“改善環境質量 推動綠色發展”。
World Environment Day can be celebrated in lots of ways, for instances, planting trees, doing some recycling, participating the clean-up campaigns and so on. Certainly people can also do something simple, like going to work by bus instead of private cars. I believe if everyone takes environmental actions as a habit, we are doing a big difference for the better environment.
慶祝世界環境日的方式多種多樣，例如植樹，對廢物進行循環利用，參加清潔行動等等。當然，人們也可以做些簡單的小事來紀念，比如說不駕駛私家車上班，改乘公交車去上班。我相信只要大家都將這些環保小事當成習慣，我們將會為建造美好環境做出重大貢獻。

校園防火Campus fire safety
People are alarmed by the succession of campus fires in recent years. In each of these accidents, heavy casualties were reported – houses were burned down, students lost their lives, and properties were damaged. Faced with such a chilling fact, people keep asking, “What on earth results in these repeated tragedies?”
近年來，人們對連續的校園火災感到震驚。每一個事故中都有嚴重的傷亡報道，房屋被燒毀，學生失去生命，財產受到損失。面對這樣一個令人毛骨悚然的事實，人們不禁反問，“究竟是什麼導致這些悲劇反復發生?”
A brief survey of them reveals that human factors still prove to be the leading causes. For example, three of these fires were caused by the students’ use of electric water-heaters. As students often leave the heaters unattended, the risks are rather high should the water in the bottle boil dry while no one is around to turn off the power. In other cases, fires were also caused by stoves, candles, cigarette butts, etc.
一項簡單的調查揭露，人為因素仍然是主要的原因。比如，其中三起事故都是由於學生使用“熱得快”而引起的。由於學生經常讓“熱得快”處於無人看守狀態，如果瓶中的水燒干卻沒有人在旁邊拔掉電源的話風險是相當高的。其他情況，如火爐，蠟燭，煙頭等也會引起火災。
Since most of these disasters could have been prevented if proper precautions had been taken, students should be better ecated on the importance and measures of fire control. The following three reminders are of particular importance for us students: First, learn how to use a fire extinguisher. Second, double-check candles, heaters, stoves and other electric appliances, and make sure there are no open flames before leaving rooms. Lastly, do not smoke in the dorm.
因為如果能夠採取適當的預防措施，大部分的這些災難原本是可以避免的，所以學生應該更好地接受控制火災的重要性以及措施的知識。以下三個警告對我們學生尤其重要：第一，學會如何使用滅火器。第二，仔細檢查蠟燭，熱水器，爐具及其他電器，並確保在離開房間之前沒有明火。最後，不要在寢室內吸煙。

老人說揮了揮手，說：「沒問題，轎車已經停放在你別墅的車庫裡面，還有最後一個願望，你們要好好想想」。
女人想了想說：「我們要一筆巨額存款，1000萬，我們以後要過衣食無憂的生活。
」老人揮揮手說：「沒問題，存款已經存到了你們的帳戶上。
」夫妻倆高興異常，對老人千恩萬謝。
老人說：「年青人，我滿足了你們三個願望，你們能不能滿足我一個請求呢？如果這個請求你們不能幫我實現，那麼剛才你們實現的三個願望也會隨之消失」夫妻二人一聽，老人給他們帶來了這么多，一個小小的請求又怎麼樣呢？於是答應了。
老人對男人說：「我要你年青漂亮的妻子陪我一晚上。
」夫妻二人想了想，不是很願意，但想到剛剛實現的三個願望，狠了狠心答應了，於是女人留在了老房子里，陪鶴發童顏的老人度過了一晚上。
用英文寫人對鯨魚的危害
行動起來，保護鯨魚鯨類的拉丁學名是由希臘語中的「海怪」一詞衍生的，由此可見古人對這類棲息在海洋中的龐然大物所具有的敬畏之情。
其實，鯨類動物的體形差異很大，小型的體長只有1米左右，最大的則可達30米以上。
它們中的大部分種類生活在海洋中，僅有少數種類棲息在淡水環境中，體形同魚類十分相似，體形均呈流線型，適於游泳，所以俗稱為鯨魚。
然而，這么可愛的鯨魚為什麼還有一些國家的人民去捕捉它呢？2015年11月至2015年4月，在南太平洋海域里，日本捕鯨船隊又再次以「科考」的名義，去捕殺鯨魚。
這次日本捕鯨隊打算捕鯨超過1000頭，其中包括50頭座多鯨，座多鯨屬於瀕臨滅絕動物，這是日本由始以來最大規模捕殺座多鯨的行動。
國際捕鯨委員會禁止商業捕鯨活動，但並不禁止以科研為目的的捕鯨。
與以往一樣，日本再次稱這次捕鯨活動的目的為「科考」。
日本人一直認為鯨肉是強身健體的美食之一，在日本的市場和餐館，每年有2000噸的鯨肉銷售。
【保護鯨魚的作文3篇】保護鯨魚的作文3篇。
據國際愛護動物基金會的dna采樣分析結果顯示，日本市場銷售的鯨肉包括座頭鯨、長須鯨、灰鯨、露脊鯨等多種瀕危鯨種。
日本人為了滿足自己的胃和商業利益，每年將罪惡之手伸向這些海洋中的靈物、海洋的霸主，而這些可愛的生靈們每天面臨著美麗謊言下的殺戮。
，由於人類的捕殺，目前全世界13種鯨中至少有5種瀕臨滅絕。
「鯨魚保護者基金」負責人在一項聲明中說，這場活動旨在讓所有人都明白，保護鯨魚是每個人義不容辭的責任。
他們聲明說，由於人類捕殺和全球變暖等原因，鯨魚的數量在世界范圍內急劇減少。
人類如果不採取保護措施，用不了多久，鯨魚將從海洋中消失。
當眾批評一些國家不顧國際社會暫停捕殺鯨魚的禁令，仍然在肆無忌憚地捕殺鯨魚。
因此，我們應盡自己的所能呼籲全世界的人民保護鯨魚，讓綠色環保組織在南太平洋規劃出一片水域當作自然保護區，禁止那些捕鯨船隻捕殺鯨魚，不要讓鯨魚們在海里默默的哭泣，還它們一個美好的家園！
英語作文Don't let whales cry againWhen we wear clothes made by animals' skins,can our hearts be quiet like nothing happened especially for those people who owned a puppy.If their heart can be quiet,I think that they are not real animal friendly people.Today,I want to choose an endangered animal to explain why we should protect it.That is a whale.Maybe when we think of it,it maybe is a dreadful,ugly animal.I think they are always symbols that appeared in the movies.It occurred to me that I wanted to say stop when I watched a documentary that some Japanese killed whales. They were killing whales that were not attacking. Whales,big animals,as mammals and higher animals in the ecosystem,plays essential roles.If they disappear,the whole ecosystem will be hurt and make an unknown result that most aspects are bad.I want to say that if we want to let the whole world keep a safe environment, letting every part of nature not disappear or keep a balance.Maybe we can't be vegetarians,but we can get along well with animals.We can condemn those people who like abusing animal for fun.Now with the more exposures of killing endangered animals by media,governments of the whole world are taking actions to avoid these things happening again.I believe that if people can treat the nature kindly,can we live in the world happily.

1,The Earth—— Mother
Pcople often say that the earth is like our mother. She gives life to all the living things on the earth and provides us with air, food, water and other essential things we need for living.
Once she was beautifhl and rich, but now she becomes dirtier and dirtier, poorer and poorer. It is e to what we have done to her. Please have a good look at her: polluted rivers and lakes, growing deserts, the destruction of the forests and wild life, and the depletion of the ozone layer…
Can she bear to see her children putting the waste here and there? Can she bear too see her children cutting down the trees and destroying the grassland, to see the acid rain destroying everything? Can we bear to see our mother suffering so much? Isn' it time for us to ask ourselves whether this is the way to treat our mother?
Floods, draughts, acid rain…,these are the punishments from nature. Everyone should know that there is only one earth, lfwe go on treating her like this, it won' t be fit for us to live in any longer. It' s time for us to love her, take good care of her and cure her. We should save the earth so as to save ourselves.
地球——我們的母親
人們經常說地球就像我們的母親.她給了地球上所有生物生命,給我們提供生活所必需的空氣、食物、水和一切基本的需要.
曾經她美麗富饒,而現在她變得越來越臟,越來越貧脊,那都是我們造成的.請好好看一看她：受污染的江河湖海、擴張的沙漠、森林和野生生物的毀滅、臭氧層的耗盡……
她能忍受她的孩子到處亂扔廢棄物嗎?她能忍受她的孩子砍伐樹木、毀壞草原,讓酸雨毀滅一切嗎?我們能忍受她遭受這樣的痛苦嗎?我們該問問我們自己,這就是我們對待母親的方式嗎?
洪水、乾旱、酸雨……這些都是自然對我們的懲罰.每個人都應該清楚人類只有一個地球.如果我們繼續這樣對待她,她將不再適合我們居住了.是該我們好好愛她、照顧她、治療她的時候了.我們應該拯救地球,以便拯救我們自己.

4Pollution: a Social Problem
When we read newspapers, we often come across the word pollution. This word was not familiar to the people some decades ago. But now, it is a serious threat to us because.it means the poisoning of the air, seas, rivers and lands, which would do harm to our health.
There are many factories that bring pollution to us. We can not have fresh air in the morning. This is mainly because of the poisonous smoke coming from factories, especially chemical ones. In rivers, seas and oceans, there are instrial wastes. Some factories just throw their wastes into seas or let them flow into rivers. When people drink the water from such rivers, they get poisoned. Besides, there is rubbish from ships and when sometimes an accident occurs in an ocean, oil flows out from tankers.
On land, the accumulation of rubbish in the streets may dirty the city and ruin our health. This is mainly e to the improper disposal of rubbish by people.
If we do mot fight against pollution, surely one day all of us will be killed. Some people like to put the blame on the instrial revolutions. On the contrary, the pollution problem will be solved only with the help of modem science and technology.
污染——一個社會問題
我們看報的時候,經常會看到「污染」這個詞.這個詞對於幾十年前的人來說並不熟悉.然而對於我們來說,它是一個嚴重的威脅,因為它意味著危害空氣、海洋、河流和土地,進而對我們造成傷害.
有很多工廠給我們帶來了污染.早上我們呼吸不到新鮮的空氣.這主要是因為這些工廠里排放出有毒的氣體,尤其是化工廠.在江河湖海里到處都有工業垃圾.一些工廠把廢棄物排放到江河和海洋里.人們喝了這裡面的水就會中毒.除此之外,還有從船上扔下來的垃圾和海洋里發生事故的船隻流出來的油.
在陸地上,街道上亂扔的垃圾不僅影響市容,還危害我們的健康.這主要是因為人們對垃圾的不正確的處理.
我們如果不對污染採取措施,總有一天我們會被殺死的.有些人總愛把這歸咎於工業革命.相反,污染問題還必須靠現代科學和技術來解決.
5Traditional Teaching Method
Do your teachers still use traditional techniques to teach you nowadays? A revol- ution in teaching techniques is required now. In the past, we just took it for granted that a teacher' s aim was to teach the students all that he knew and solve all the problems for them. Therefore, students could mot judge things on their own under this circumstance. Thus students graally lost the ability to learn by themselves. In addition, they were only equipped with the knowledge that were taught in class and made the same judgement upon every problem which might crop up. Of course, they would find their knowledge not enough to solve practical problems.
So it is time to change the teaching method. A teacher' s goal is to help the students develop not only the ability to learn by themselves but the skills to make judgements on every aspect on their own. It' s not necessary for the students to turn to teachers for help while meeting with difficulties. The first thing is to develop the students' abilities to make sound judgements upon any problem and overcome difficulties.
All in all, the aim of teaching is to liberate, but mot to fetter the students' innate powers of making sound judgements.
傳統教育方式
你的老師還在用傳統方法授課嗎?現在教育方式的改革需要進行.過去,老師把他所有的知識教給學生,並幫學生解決他們所有的難題,這似乎是理所當然的.因此,在這種情況下,學生不能自我判斷,也慢慢失去自學能力.另外,他們只能學到課堂上的東西,面對任一突發事件都會作出同樣的判斷.當然,他 們業余感到所學知識不足以解決實際問題.
因此,是到了改變教育目標的時候了.老師的目的不光是幫助學生培養自學能力,還應教給他們獨立判斷的方法.學生一旦面臨難題就請教老師是不必要的.重要的是讓學生具有獨立判斷並能克服困難的能力.
總而言之,教育目標是解放而不是限制學生判斷事物的內在能力.
6,How to study English?
Study English,You do need to use English with speakers who are not teachers of English. This isn』t easy, since everyone feels constrained speaking English with friends with whom it would be natural to use a shared mother tongue. Joining an English Club is a good idea and joining a club with an international membership (where English is in use at least some of the time) is, for many people, even better. If nothing like this is accessible, you might consider what would be involved in getting something going.
活用英文樂趣多 活用英文樂趣多
你需要常常和英語教師以外的人士用英語交談.這當然很不容易,因為與母語相同的人自由交談時,彼此若用英語交談總會覺得很不自在.亦可參加英語俱樂部或國際會員的俱樂部（至少有時使用英語溝通）,這樣對很多人而言更有益.如果沒有合適的社團可加入,也不妨考慮任何足以提高英語能力的機會.第一篇：THE NEWSPAPER 報 紙
Nowadays the newspaper possesses considerable value Everybody should read it. It supplies us with a variety of news every day. It tells us the political situation of the world. If we form the habit of reading the newspaper, we shall (will) get enough knowledge to cope with our circumstances.
現今報紙擁有極大的價值,人人都應該看它.它每天提供我們各種類類的消息.它告訴我們世界政治局勢.如果我們養成看報的習慣,我們就能得到足夠的知識來因應我們的環境.學生雖然每天須做功課,但他們至少應該勻出一兩個小時來看報.哪些,他們不但能增加知識而且也能趕上時代.總而言之,看報對學生很有益處.

7：MY DAILY LIFE 我的日常生活
Though my daily life is extremely monotonous, I try hard to adapt myself to it. Why? Because I intend to be a good student. I wish to render service to my country.
I get up at six o』clock every day. After I wash my face and brush my teeth, I begin to review my lessons. I go to school at seven o』clock.
After school is over, I return home. We usually have supper at seven o』clock.
Then I begin to do my homework. I want to finish it before I go to bed.
雖然我的日常生活十分單調,但我卻竭力設法去適應它.為什麼?因為我打算做一個好學生,希望將來為國家服務.
我每天六點起床、洗臉刷牙後,就開始復習功課,七點鍾我就去上學.
放學後,我就回家了.我們通常在七點鍾吃晚餐,之後我就開始做家庭作業,希望在睡覺前把它做完.
8A MODEL STUDENT 模範學生
Do you mind being called a bad student? Of course not. So far as I know, everybody intends to be (become) a model student.
However, to be a model student is by no means an easy thing. First, he must do his best to obtain knowledge. A man without sufficient knowledge will not succeed. Secondly, he must remember to improve his health. Only a strong man can do great tasks. Thirdly, he should receive moral ecation. If his conct is not good, no one will consider making friends with him.
你價意被稱為壞學生嗎?當然不.就我所知,每個人都打算做模範學生.
然而,做模範學生卻不容易.第一,他必須盡力獲得知識（求知）.一個沒有足夠知識的人是不會成功的.第二,他必須記住促進健康.只有強壯的人才能做大事.第三,他應該接受道德教育.如果他品行不好,沒有人會考慮和他交朋友的.
讀書是一好事,但我們必須多加註意書的選擇.不錯,我們能從好書中獲得益處.然而,壞書卻對我們有害無益.
⑥ 求一篇英語閱讀短文的中文翻譯，感謝~！
現代人為了開墾農場和取用木材而砍伐森林，並且有時候由於人們的疏忽大意引起森林火災。不僅這樣，生物與森林間那看不見摸不著的關系紐帶也被人類干涉到了。有很多人類干涉食物鏈食物網的例子。人類干涉的危害很多年以後在南Arizona的凱亞巴布高原被證實了。人們只是想要為森林裡的生物提高生物圈的質量而不是毀壞它。凱亞巴布高原曾經有一片童話故事般的森林，裡面有 largesized 松樹，Douglas杉樹，白杉樹，藍色的和Engelmann雲杉樹。在1882年，一位旅遊者寫到：「我們漫步在這片森林公園之中，我們認為這里是所有旅遊勝地中最迷人的一處。」這里同樣也是落基山脈騾鹿的棲息地。印第安人每個秋季都會在此打獵以收集肉類和動物皮毛。這片森林也有山師，木狼和山貓（這些食肉動物）來維持鹿的數量不至於增長過猛。在1906年，Theodore Roosevelt 總統命凱亞巴布高原為國家森林保護區，在此禁止獵殺鹿。政府獵人開始獵殺鹿的天敵。在25年的時間裡面6250隻山師，狼和山貓被殺，在這個項目實施之前森林裡大概有4000隻鹿，到1924為止，森林裡已有大約100000隻鹿。鹿從木材到嫩枝，只要它們夠得著的無所不吃，盡管這樣，食物仍不足以支撐龐大的鹿群。於是政府有開始允許獵殺鹿了，這只微弱地減少了鹿群的數量，後來大批的鹿死於飢餓和疾病。兩年內，有大約60%的鹿死亡。直到1930年，鹿群的數量已減少到20000隻，到1942年鹿群的數量已減少到8000隻了。
⑦ 英語閱讀短文，我要全文翻譯和答案
動物面臨著許多問題，而人類，就是罪魁禍首。我們污染並改變了它們的生活習性。我們因為它們的毛皮，獠牙，皮膚，角而捕獵它們。我們殺了那些妨礙我們農耕或蓋房的動物。我們把它們遷出大自然，帶回家當寵物養。你可以做些什麼來幫做這些瀕臨滅絕的動物呢？盡可能多的去學習跟它們有關的知識。了解得越多，你能幫助的就越多。努力支持動物園，喂一些瀕臨滅絕的動物，以保證他們能活下去。同那些野生動物保護團體一起工作，來盡力保護動物。你也可以在購物的時候，精明一點，別買那些在野外長大的寵物。這個世界是由許多生物構成的，大家相互依存。如果我們讓地球上任何一種生物滅絕，都會影響到其他生物，甚至改變世界。讓我們共同祝願，當我們再談起瀕臨滅絕的動物是，不會再說「永遠地消失了」。

Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.
One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. "We will rest here tonight，my men,"he said. "Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die."
They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on ty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.
The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(薊). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.

In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited . About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conctor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的 . No one had told them about the British custom (習慣)of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus .
Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (點頭) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty .
In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'- a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.
In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an alt (成人) --it's just not done in Thailand .

⑨ 考研英語閱讀理解翻譯歷年真題
“I've never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from the cramped confines of his lab at Texas A&M University. “It's a stupid endeavor.” That's an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two calves and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy later this year—or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the reproctive system of man's best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.
Westhusin's experience with cloning animals leaves him vexed by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missyplicity project, using hundreds upon hundreds of canine eggs, the A&M team has proced only a dozen or so embryos carrying Missy's DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses may be acceptable when you're dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,” he says.
Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin's phone at A&M College of Veterinary Medicine has been ringing busily. Cost is no obstacle for customers like Missy's mysterious owner, who wishes to remain unknown to protect his privacy. He's plopped down $3.7 million so far to fund the research because he wants a twin to carry on Missy?s fine qualities after she dies. But he knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy's owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clone differs from Missy.”
The fate of the dog samples will depend on Westhusin's work. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems. “Why would you ever want to clone humans,” Westhusin asks, “when we?re not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?” [397 words]
6. Mr. Westhusin thinks cloning is dangerous because_____ .
[A] animals are tortured to death in the experiments
[B]the public has expressed strong disapproval
[C] too many lives are wasted for laboratory use
[D] cloning becomes a quest only for profit
7. What is the problem confronting the Missyplicity project?
[A] The client holds a suspicious view toward it.
[B] There is a lack of funds to support the research.
[C] The owner is unwilling to disclose the information.
[D] Cloning dogs is a difficult biological problem.
8. Which of the following is true about animal cloning?
[A]Few private cloning companies could afford it
[B]Few people have realized its significance.
[C] An exact of a cat or bull can be made.
[D] It is becoming a prosperous instry.
9. From the passage we can infer that _____.
[A] Mr. Westhusin is going to clone a dog soon
[B] scientists are pessimistic about human cloning
[C] human reproctive system has not been understood
[D] rich people are only interested in cloning animals
10. Mr. Westhusin seems to believe that cloning______.
[A] is stupid and should be abandoned [B] has been close to success
[C] should be taken cautiously [D] is now in a dilemma

長難句分析
1. That's an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy.
該句主幹是That's an interesting choice of adjective。現在分詞短語coming from... 做後置定語，修飾前面的名詞choice，相當於一個定語從句(which is)coming from... ;在分詞短語中，定語從句who... 也做後置定語，修飾先行詞a man。
2. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems.
該句主幹是He knows that... 。that引導的賓語從句是一個主從復合句，且從句位於主句之前，主句是the offspring will face the problems... ;從句是讓步狀語從句：even if he gets a dog viably pregnant;should they survive是個省略了if的條件狀語從句，為插入語，修飾主句。另外，主句的賓語the problems後接有過去分詞短語shown... 做後置定語，相當於一個定義從句(that)are shown... ;冒號後的名詞短語做the problems的同位語。
語篇分析
本文題材涉及生物技術。作者從克隆動物這個角度間接論證克隆人的不可行性，主張應該慎重對待克隆人研究。它是一篇觀點論證型文章，按照“提出觀點—論證觀點—重申觀點”的脈絡展開論述，可分成三部分。
第一段為第一部分，提出觀點：克隆人是不可行的。
引用專家Mark Westhusin和一位試圖克隆其愛犬的富人的話(never met a human worth cloning，a stupid endeavor)表達作者的觀點。接著介紹Mark Westhusin所進行的克隆動物的實驗(two calves，a cat and a dog)，並特別指出對狗的克隆最具難度(one of the mysteries of modern science)。
第二、三段為第二部分，論證觀點。
第二段：指出Mark Westhusin克隆動物的經驗使他極力反對克隆人(vexed by talking of human cloning)。首句是段落主題句。段中詳細介紹了一個克隆狗的項目(the Missyplicity project)中出現的狀況：①從成百上千的卵中只獲得一打左右基因匹配的胚胎;②轉移到母體時沒有一個胚胎存活下來。從這些細節中可以推出，克隆是低效而且危險的。這在末句“Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous”得到了證實。該段最後還給出了Mark Westhusin的觀點：動物實驗中的浪費現象在人的研究中不能被接受。因此，該段將Mark Westhusin反對克隆人的態度表露無疑。

二、Do you know how to play a game called 「Musical Chairs」？ It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs， some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument， if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
