阅读一 寻找琥珀
普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世从未想过他送个普鲁士人民伟大的礼物会有一点如此惊奇的历史。这个礼物是因为由几吨琥珀制成而命名的琥珀屋。这些被挑选的琥珀都有着像蜂蜜一样漂亮的黄棕色。这间屋的设计是当时最流行的奇特的风格。这同样是一件花了当时最好的艺术家大约十年用黄金和珠宝修饰制成的宝物。
事实上，这间屋不是制来当礼物的。这是为腓特烈一世的领土而设计的。然而，普鲁士下一任国王同样是琥珀屋的拥有者，腓特烈威廉一世决定不保留琥珀屋。在1716年他把琥珀屋送给了彼得大帝。作为报答，沙皇给了腓特烈一队他最好的士兵。因此琥珀屋成为了沙皇避寒圣地圣彼得堡的一部分。琥珀屋作为一个大概四米长的只为重要访客的小接待处。 后来，叶卡捷琳娜二世把琥珀屋在圣彼得堡之外的一个她避暑的地方。她让她的艺术家加了跟多的细节在里面。在1770年琥珀屋完全成了她想要的样子。接近600只蜡烛在屋内燃烧着，把镜子和图画都照得像金子一样。令人伤心的，虽然被誉为是世界奇迹之一的琥珀屋现在丢失了。
在1941年9月，纳粹军队在圣彼得堡附近。这正是两个国家在交战的时候。在纳粹去到避暑地方之前，俄国人民能够从琥珀屋里搬走一些家具和小的艺术品。然而，一些纳粹神秘的偷走了琥珀屋。至少两天内100000多片琥珀被放进27个木箱里。这些箱子无疑会被放进一艘去往当时德军驻扎的菠萝的海的哥尼斯堡的船上。之后，琥珀屋发生了神马仍然是个迷。 最近，俄国和德国人民在避暑的地方制造了一座新的琥珀屋。通过研究之前的琥珀屋的照片，他们制造了一座新的琥珀屋像旧的那座一样。在2003年它被圣彼得堡的人民用来庆祝这座城市的300岁生日。

一个事实还是一个观点
神马是事实？是一些人们相信的东西吗？不！事实是可以被证明的任何事。例如，可以证明中国人口比世界上任何其他国家的人口都要多。这是一个事实。
那么神马是一个观点？一个观点是人们相信那是真的但还没有被证明的。所以一个观点在一个审判中不是一个好的证据。例如，如果你说“猫是比狗好的宠物”这会是一个观点。这可能是真的，不过很难去证明。一些人可能不同意这个观点不过他们也不能去证明他们是对的。 在一场审批中，一个审判官一定要去决定相信哪个目击者哪个目击者不应该相信。这个审判官不会去考虑每个目击者的长相或人们在哪里居住或工作。他/她只关心目击者是否会提供真是的信息，信息一定是事实而不是观点。这类的信息被称为证据。
第二单元 奥林匹克运动会
阅读一 一个采访
大约2000年前的一个希腊作者帕萨尼亚斯(P)，在2007年3月18日踏上了一段魔幻的旅程去查明关于现代的奥林匹克运动会。他正在采访一个2008年奥林匹克运动会志愿者李岩(L)。 P:我是帕萨尼亚斯。我住在你们所说的“古希腊”而且在很久之前我常常写以一些关于奥林匹克运动会的事情。我来到你的时代是为了解关于现代奥林匹克运动会因为我知道2004年奥林匹克运动会会在我家乡举办。我可以问你一些关于现代奥林匹克运动会的问题么？ L:真是极为愉快的事!你真的来自那么久远的时代么？不过当然你可以问你想问的问题。你想知道神马？
P:你们多久会举办一次运动会？
L:四年一次。有两种主要的运动会形式--冬季和夏季奥运会，并且在一个有规律的基础上他们都是四年举办一次的。冬季奥运会一般会在夏季奥运会前两年举办。只有达到该项目既定的标准的运动员才会被容许成为竞争者。他们可以来自世界各地。 P:冬季奥运会？田径运动员如何在冬季享受比赛？还有马术又怎样？
L:哦不!冬季奥运会没有赛跑和骑马的项目。反而会有一些像滑雪和溜冰这些需要雪和冰的项目。这就是为神马他成为冬季奥运会。只有在夏季奥运会会有你说赛跑，同时还有游泳，帆船运动和所有团队运动。
P:我懂了。之前你说那些运动员都被邀请来自世界各地。你了解希腊世界么？我们希腊城过去互相竞赛只为胜利的荣誉。没有其他的地区可以参加，奴隶和妇女也不可以。 L:现在只要他们的运动员够好的话任何国家都可以参加。有超过250种项目并且每一种都有它自己的标准。妇女不仅允许参加比赛，并且她们在体操比赛，竞技比赛，团队比赛和其他各种比赛中都扮演着重要的角色。
P:麻烦稍等一下！所有的这些项目，所有的国民甚至妇女都可以参加！那么这些运动员们居住在哪里？
L:在每一场奥运会前，一座特别的村庄会被建来给他们居住，还有一座主要的接待建筑，几个用来比赛的体育场和一座体育馆等
P:那听起来很贵。有哪个国家会想要举办奥运会么？
L:事实上，每个国家都想要这个机会。这是一个很大的责任同样是一个很大的荣誉如果被挑选到。在国家之间有很多竞争去为举办奥运会就像去赢得奥林匹克奖牌一样。2008年的奥运会将会在北京举行。这你知道么？ P:哦是的！你一定非常自豪。
L:当然。之后的2012年奥运会将在伦敦举行。他们早就开始为这个做准备了。一座让运动员居住的村庄和所有的运动场将会被建在东伦敦。当然新的奖牌会被设计......
P:你是说奖牌么？所以甚至是橄榄花圈也已经被取代了！哦亲爱的！你们比赛也为了奖金么？
L:不我们不。现在仍然想要跑得更快跳的更高扔得更远。正如你知道的奥运会的格言-“更快更高更强”。
P:好吧，那是个好消息。多么有趣啊！耽搁你的时间，谢谢了。

亚特兰大的故事
亚特兰大是一个希腊公主。她很漂亮并且可以跑得比希腊的任何一个男人都快。不过她不被允许在奥运会上跑步去为她自己赢得荣誉。她很生气因此她跟她父亲说她不会嫁任何跑不过她的男人。她父亲说她必须要嫁，所以亚特兰大与她父亲定下一个条件。她对她父亲说，“这是我的原则。如果有男人说想要嫁我，我会跟她赛跑。如果他跑不赢我，他会被杀。没有人能被例外。”
很多国王和王子想要娶亚特兰大，不过当他们听到这个规定的时候他们就知道自己没希望了。所以他们当中的很多人都伤心地回家了，不过其他的人都留着去赛跑。一个叫做希波墨涅斯的男人听到亚特兰大的消息后感到非常惊奇，他想“为神马这些男的都这么愚蠢呢？”“为神马他们会因为跑不过这个公主而让自己被杀呢？”然而，当他看到亚特兰大从她的房子出来跑步的时候，希波墨涅斯改变了他的心意。他说，“我会娶亚特兰大或者死！”
赛跑开始的时候虽然男人们都跑得很快，但是亚特兰大总是会更快。希波墨涅斯边看边想，“我要怎样才能赢过亚特兰大呢？”他去向希腊的爱神求助。爱神答应帮他并给了他三个金苹果。她说，“在亚特兰大跑过你的时候扔一个在亚特兰大面前。当亚特兰大停下来去捡苹果的时候，你就可以跑过她并赢得比赛。”希波墨涅斯拿着苹果并跑去找国王。他说，“我想娶亚特兰大。”国王伤心地看着又一个男人要死，不过希波墨涅斯说，“我会娶她或者死！”然后赛跑开始了。
第三单元 电脑
阅读一 我是谁
随着时间的推移我被改变了很多。在1642年的法国，我是作为一个计算机器而开始的。虽然我很年轻我可以简化一些计算题。在我被Charles Babbage改造成分析机器之前我很慢的发展了接近两百年。之后我被一个操作员用带洞的卡调制成了可以合逻辑地思考并且比任何人都快地得出一些问题的答案。那是一个被成为技术改革的时候并且开始了我的人造智能。在1936年我真正的父亲Alan Turing写了一本关于我如何像普遍的机器一样去解决任何困难的数学问题的书。从那起，我在体积和智能方面快速的发展。在1940年我变得像一个房间一样大，并且我想知道我是否还能变得更大。然而，事实也在困扰着我的设计者。随着时间的推移，我被制的更小。首先是个人电脑再到后来的手提电脑，在1970年我已经开始被用在办公室和家里。
这些变化只因为我记忆力的增强。开始记忆被存放于电子管里，然后是晶体管和后来更小的晶片。因此我改变了我的整个外型。随着我慢慢变老我也慢慢的变小。随着时间推移我的记忆力发展的那么快，像头大象，我不会忘记任何我曾被告知的东西！而且我的记忆力变得如此的大以至于我都不敢相信!不过我总是自己那么孤单的站在那里，直到1960年他们通过网络给了我一个家庭关系。我能够通过万维网和其他的电脑分享我的知识。从1970年起很多新的应用为我而被发明。我在交流，金融和贸易方面变得重要。我同样被放进遥控装置中被用来制造移动电话也帮助医学手术。我已经被放进太空火箭并被送去探测月亮和火星。即使如此，我的目的是为人们提供高质量的生活。我现在充满快乐应为我成为了人类种族中的一个忠心的朋友和帮助者。

机器人-Andy
我是一个机器人球队的一份子。我们被允许在一齐踢足球大约一年了。我像一个人类一样高大。事实上，我长得也像人类。在球队里我是前锋因此我要跑得非常快。我的电脑芯片帮助我移动并且像人类一样思考。例如，我已经学会了当我要开动去射一个好球的时候用电脑语言向我的队友发信号让他们把球传给我。
我的第一场足球比赛是在几年前在日本的名古屋。去年我们球队去了美国华盛顿和西雅图。我们胜利的第二个地方。就我个人观点，我认为我们球队第一次赢的地方是作弊的。他们已经在比赛之前一种新的程序类型。所以我们也要促进我们的程序去提高我们的智能。我们决心要去一种甚至更好的标志。一定程度上说我们的程序就像我们的教练。她训练我们所有在人类比赛中她能看到的所有可能的动作。如果一种新情况出现她会准备可靠的动作去运用。用这种方式我可以用我的“人造只能”去制造新的动作。我能够被编程成像人类一样的表现我就可以真的与一队人类球队去比赛。毕竟，在我不会忘掉任何东西的电子脑袋的帮助下，我的所有就是用我的智能！
第四单元
阅读一 Daisy如何学习去帮助野生动物
Daisy常常渴望去帮助濒临灭绝的种类的野生动物。一天她醒来发现一个正在飞行的飞毯在她包里。“你想去哪里？”它问。Daisy立刻回答它。“我想去看那些濒临灭绝的动物，”她说。“请带我去那个我可以找到供给皮毛去制造这件毛衣的动物的一个遥远的地方。”飞毯立刻带她飞去了西藏。在那里Daisy看到了一支看起来很伤心的羚羊。它说，“我们被杀是为了我们肚子下的毛。我们的皮毛被人类用来制造像你这样的毛衣。因此，现在我们是一种濒临灭绝的种类。”然后Daisy哭喊着，“我很抱歉我不知道那些。我想知道神马可以被做来帮助你们。飞毯，请带我去一个有一些野生动物保护区的地方。”
飞毯飞得如此的快以至于他们下一分钟就在Zimbabwe。Daisy转来转去然后发现她被一头大象盯着。“你过来跟我照相了么？”它问。Daisy松了口气突然笑起来。“不要笑，”大象说，“我们曾经是濒临灭绝的品种。农民好不仁慈地猎杀我们。他们说我们破坏了他们的天地，和来自那些只游览大工厂的游客的钱。所以政府决定去帮助。他们允许游客给钱农民然后可以去猎杀确定数量的动物。现在农民很高兴而且我们的数量在增加。所以好事情正被做于营救当地的野生动物。” Daisy微笑了。“那是个好消息。它展示了野生动物保护的重要性，不过我喜欢去帮助像WWF这样的建议。”飞毯再次升起然后几乎同一时间他们在一个阴霾的热带雨林。一支猴子看着他们就像它摩擦它自己。“你在干神马？”Daisy问。“我在保护自己不受蚊子的伤害，”它回答。“当我找到一只千足虫昆虫，我会在我身上摩擦它。它包涵了一种强大的可以影响蚊子的药物。你应该更加注意那些我居住的热带雨林并好好鉴赏动物们如何居住在一齐。没有雨林，没有动物，没有药物。” Daisy很惊讶。“飞毯，请带我回家这样我可以联系WWF并开始保护这种新的药物。猴子，请过来帮忙。”那猴子同意了。飞毯飞回家了。当他们降落时，事物开始消失了。两分钟后所有东西都消失了-那只猴子也是。所以Daisy不能去制造她的新药物。不过如此的一段经历！她已经学习了那么多！还有那里的WWF......

并非乐队的乐队
你曾经想过要成为一个乐队里有名的歌手或音乐家吗？你是否曾梦想过在音乐会上面对成千上万的观众演唱，观众欣赏你的歌唱为你鼓掌吗？你唱卡拉OK时是否假装自己就是像宋祖英或刘欢一样著名的歌星吗？说实在的，很多人把名和利看得很重。那么，人们又是怎样一起组成乐队的呢？
许多音乐家聚在一起组成乐队，是因为他们喜欢自己作曲，演奏自己的音乐。他们开始可能是一组中学生，在某个人家里排练音乐是成名的第一步。有时他们可能在街上或地铁里为过路人演奏，这样他们可以为自己或自己要买的乐器多挣一些钱。后来，他们可能在酒吧或者俱乐部里演出，这样他们可以得到现金。当然，他们希望在录音棚里录音，然后卖掉上百万张碟，从而成为百万富翁。
然而，也有一个用不同方式组建起来的乐队。这支乐队叫“门基乐队”，它开始时是以电视节目表演的形式出现的。组成乐队的音乐人演奏音乐，还彼此打趣都笑。这些玩笑和音乐大多都在模仿“甲壳虫”乐队。电视制作人原计划想寻找四位会唱又会表演的乐手。他们在报纸上登了一则广告，想招摇滚乐手，但他们只招到一个满意的。乐队的其他三人只能用演员来代替。
因为这些演员中有些人唱得不是很好，他们不得不依靠队里的其他人帮助。所以在演出的时候他们只是假唱。不管怎样，他们的表演非常幽默以至于其他的乐队也开始模仿。他们非常走红使得歌迷们为了更加熟悉他们而成立了俱乐部。门基乐队每个星期都要在电视上演唱由别的音乐家创作的歌曲。然而，经过大约一年以后，门基乐队逐渐对自己的工作认真起来，他们开始像一支真正的乐队那样演唱自己创作的歌曲。然后他们录制自己的唱片，并且开始巡回表演他们自己的音乐。在美国，他们甚至比“甲壳虫”乐队还要受欢迎，出售的录音专辑还要多。“门基乐队”大约在1970年左右解散，但是令人高兴的是，到80年代中期他们再次聚首。在1996年，他们推出了一张新的专辑，像真正的乐队一样以此来庆祝他们以往的时光。
Ⅱ 英语阅读traveling in the jungle急求翻译
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

行走在丛林
丛林是不友善的人，但有可能在那里生存。你必须有正确的设备，你必须知道的几个重要的东西图片。然后你活命的机会是非常好的。
没有人应该进入丛林中没有合适的设备。你需要轻薄的衣服，好刀，和指南针。鱼钩和线，步枪和弹药，在防水容器也很有必要。是一所以蚊帐保护头部。
在丛林中你可以得到无望后五分钟内留下一个著名的标志。这就是为什么你应该总是携带一个指南针。在开放的国家，在白天，你可以告诉它的方式去研究太阳。夜晚星星一定指导方向。但在大多数地方的丛林的屋顶很厚，它是不可能看到的太阳或星星。一次又一次你必须检查你的位置的指南针。
保持警惕。看你前面的地面仔细。不要听了。避免匆忙，并经常休息。在一个地方是炎热和潮湿，谁的人设置一个快节奏很快会变得疲惫。一个稳定的，甚至是最聪明的步伐在长期运行。
如果你失去你的方式，不要害怕。试图决定如何长时间以来你确定你的位置。标记的地方你是在树上。把商标的四侧面上，这样你将能够看到他们从任何方向。然后你就可以追溯你的步骤，因为你总是可以找到的地方，你开始。除在紧急情况下，不要试图穿过丛林的夜晚。
只要有可能，它是明智的后续溪流和河流，在您的方向。这会使你许多额外英里的旅行。但最后会节省时间和精力。什么是更比切割出一排越野穿越连绵的丛林。
如果一个河宽且深，没有急流泛舟，是最好的旅行方式。竹子生长在河岸丛林溪流。因为它是空心的，非常强大的，它使一个完美的筏。
如果可能，远离山脊当你穿过丛林的国家。他们经常爬满棕榈树。他们有尖锐的刺，剪切和撕裂你的服装。即使是一把锋利的刀，它几乎是不可能的，剪出一个路径通过登山手掌没有得到完全陷入了他们。
蚊子会一直陪着你。唯一的防御是穿合适的衣服。你不应该穿短裤在丛林。你的裤子要轻，长。裤子的腿要塞进你启动上衣。
寻找安全饮用水，可以是一个问题。许多清晰新鲜的溪流和河流携带的病菌，可以致命的男人。溪流附近发现土著村庄都是危险的，即使他们是明确的，新鲜的。这样的水必须煮熟才能喝。
幸运的是，丛林里有许多种植物和藤本植物和水。大rough-barked葡萄藤（称为藤蔓植物）是最好的一个来源的水。一段几英尺长应该给你超过一杯清水。水从几乎所有的植物是足够纯净酒。但远离藤有苦味或乳白色的汁液。
丛林植物也提供食物。你进入丛林之前，学会承认的植物品种，可以吃。如果你没有机会这样做，看哪种水果和坚果的鸟类和猴子选择。这些食品几乎都是安全的人吃。
当你正在寻找肉，河流和溪流是最好的地方打猎。你不需要熟悉许多不同种类的鸟和动物。你可以吃任何人。
动物不吃植物吃对方。当你看见一个动物在丛林中，你可以肯定，其食物来源是接近的。这可能意味着你之间的差异要睡饱或饥饿。
生存在丛林是科学。丛林人民已成为完美的科学，你也可以。尽可能多地了解你所期待的丛林。确保你有正确的设备。
有不通顺的地方请自己改一下......谢谢.

蚊子相关英文阅读：为什么咬我不咬他?Research reveals why some people are constantly under attack from the bloodsucking insects, while others walk free.
研究揭示了为什么有些人总是会受到吸血虫蚊子的袭击而有些人却可以平安无事。
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?
对那些很不幸被蚊子列为叮咬对象的人们来说，夏夜就是蚊虫叮咬的代名词。而有些人却从没被蚊子叮咬过。那么这些吸血虫是如何选择它们的受害对象的呢?
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.
科学家们把培养皿自己的腹部进行擦拭。对于关于蚊子喜好的可能性解释，蚊子的繁殖季节提供了无数的猜想。
The insects' tastes may seem arbitrary. However, research reveals that when mosquitoes make their choice between potential victims, it all comes down to scent:
昆虫的口味好像很随意。然而研究显示当蚊子要从潜在的受害者中选择对象时，还是气味起了决定作用。
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.
"蚊子会被每个人都会散发出的二氧化碳和热量所吸引，但蚊子也会被某些特定的气味所吸引。" 丹麦阿尔胡斯大学农学部研究的负责人卡尔马丁-威詹森说。根据他的说法，目前仍没确定那些会吸引蚊子的气味到底是哪些。但研究的确指出了有些气味相比较 其它 气味而言更会吸引蚊子。
"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.
"所有的实验室人员都把培养皿在他们的腹部轻轻擦了擦。通过这种方式，他们的气味就存储在了培养皿里，然后把培养皿放置在一个蚊子出没的地方。"
"The mosquitoes repeatedly landed on some of the petri dishes, but didn't go anywhere near the others. "
"蚊子会反复地停留在某些培养皿上，却不会飞到附近其它的培养皿上。"
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.
维他命B并不能吓走蚊子。这个实验也戳穿了诸多关于吸引蚊子的"倒霉学问" 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.
有些研究人员认为血液的酸性环境让蚊虫无法存活，或是蚊子可以检测血液疾病，而另一些人相信维他命B提供了免于蚊虫叮咬的保护。
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，没有证据表明这些理论都是正确的。詹森说："关于这一点还没有任何存在的事实。关于维他命B的理论已经反反复复经过了论证，但这种说法似乎站不住脚。"
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:
也许可以从流行小说里得到一些启发，也有些人宣称大蒜是一种可以用来对付蚊子很好的防虫剂。据研究人员透露，尽管还未经证实，但这种 方法 也并非完全无效：
"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，目前没有科学依据证明吃大蒜会有效预防蚊虫叮咬。但在理论上它也许是行得通的，可以用大蒜来掩盖你的气味。"詹森说。
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.
唯一有效的免于蚊虫叮咬的方法是使用在柜台处买来的对付蚊虫的强效防蚊剂。防蚊剂包含了一些让蚊子产生混淆的气味。蚊子寻找猎物要做的第一件事是查看附近有没有动物和人。
"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.
"当蚊子靠近时，它会根据气味、热量和二氧化碳来决定是不是要叮咬。但如果它被防虫剂弄迷糊了，它不会轻率行动。"詹森说。然而，即使是防虫剂也没有为人们提供保护，让我们完全免于蚊虫频繁袭击。
"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."
"防虫剂可以减少蚊虫的叮咬次数，最多能降低70%。这样的效果也算很不错了，但你仍会时不时地被咬上一口。"

Ⅵ 谁呢帮忙翻译下2007广东卷英语阅读c
疟疾，世界上寄生虫引起的传染最广泛的疾病，每年有3百万人死于这种疾病，大部分是非洲5岁以下的贫穷儿童。多年来，尽管具体的数字大多数人不知道或没有关注而无法准确评估，但有5亿多的病例死于这种疾病。对于一个年收入只有200多美元的家庭，花费4分之一的收入去治疗疟疾这并不现实，而且这些人经常失业。像坦桑尼亚，莫桑比克，甘比亚这类国家，没有家庭，农村，医院和工作场所能长时间的维持健康状态。
疟疾发病很突然，伴随着暴寒，同时又高烧，和头痛。随着寄生虫的成倍繁殖，它们占据了整个身体，疟疾虫依靠吃它们感染的红细胞而生存。它们能依附在血管上进而到达大脑。如果你没有死亡，疟疾会每年反复发作。这种疾病通过母蚊子和4分之一种的寄生虫来传播。蚊子和寄生虫和在一起，是地球历史最致命的一对，并且是最成功的。疟疾虫有5千个基因，并且它能很快的改变基因从而保护自己，抵抗那些新的几乎自己不能控制的药物。研究表明，蚊子能够更快速的传播病毒，而且更容易在人口庞大的城市爆发。部分疾病的传播是由于全球变暖而导致的。
数十年来，在非洲治疗疟疾的首选方式是使用药物氯喹宁，这是一种非常便宜并且容易生产的化学制品。不幸的是，世界大部分地区，疟疾虫开始变得能够抵抗这种药物。成功的其他地方药物已经可用了，但是它们供应紧缺，并也很贵。如果这些药物也失效了，没有人知道接下去会怎样。

高考英语阅读理解真题解析·最初的和最后的人类
导语：2014高考临近，我为考生们整理了高考英语阅读理解真题解析 ， 希望对大家有所帮助。
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(贪婪) 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)
【答案与解析】 这是一篇由 Olaf Stapledon 所著的《最初的和最后的人类》而引出的关于幻想未来的文章。
1. B。 用排除法解答：先排除 A，因为这篇短文并非是对人类历史进行描述;再排除C，因为作者在此文章中并非表明对不同观点的否定;最后排除 D，因为作者并非要说明这本书的普遍意义。至于 B 项内容，正好符合这本书引导人们讨论的意图，故应选 B。
2. D。 文中提及五万年前，处于狩猎时代的人们不可能勾勒出现代生活的画卷;也许我们将来会被认为是我们所认为的原始人，正如石器时代的狩猎者和我们相比一样，可知要预测较为遥远的未来是一件困难的事情。
3. C。 从上下文可知，这四个词汇是作者杜撰的，用以形象地表示五万年后未知的事物和行为。
4. A。 文中提及现在即开始对未来展开想象，是基于两点理由：人生是有限的;我们可能得到一些对我们自己切实可行的新见解。文中还提及如果我们因粗心大意和贪得无厌而把地球弄得一塌糊涂而不能居住，我们的子孙们就不难找到迁怒于我们的理由，故应选A。
