生物与环境平衡的危机
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.
地球上生命的历史一直就是一部生物与其环境相互作用的历史。在很大程度上，地球上动植物的形态以及习性都是由外部环境所塑造的。考虑到地球上生命存在的整个时间，相反作用，即生命对其周围环境的实际改变作用，却相对很小。只有在当前这个世纪(指20世纪)才有一个物种--人类，获得了强大的力量，改变了其所生存的世界的自然状态。
在过去的1/4世纪中，这种力量不仅日趋强大，而且其性质也发生了变化。在人类破坏环境的种种行为中，最令人担忧的是人类向大气、土壤、河流以及海洋中排放危险甚至致命物质，而当今这种污染在很大程度上是无法挽救的。在当今这种对环境的普遍污染中，化学制品与辐射狼狈为奸，改变着地球的自然状态，也就是改变着地球上生命的自然状态。喷洒到农田、森林或者花园里的化学物质长期滞留于土壤中，渗入有机体内，并彼此相传，形成了一个中毒与死亡的链条。化学物质还神秘地通过地下水传递，最终以新的形式出现并结合，使植物毒死，牲畜害病，并使饮用一度纯净的井水的人遭受了不明之害。正如一位科学家所言：“人类甚至对自己创造的恶魔都不认识。”
地球历经了许多亿年才创造了栖息其上的生命。经过了一定时间--不是以若干年计而是以若干千年计的时间--生命开始适应环境，并形成了一种与环境的平衡。但是在现代世界中，时间这一因素已经没有了。
环境改变的速度不再顺从大自然从容不迫的节奏，而是顺从人类急切匆匆的步伐。辐射是当今人类通过支配原子而得到的一种非自然的创造物。化学制品则是人类有发明创造力的头脑创造出来的合成物，在自然界本无相应的东西。
为了适应这些化学制品，人类需要付出的时间不会只是一个人一生的时间，而是几代人的时间。而即使这样，就算出现奇迹成为可能，这种适应也是徒劳的，因为新的化学制品从我们的实验室中源源不断地涌出。仅在美国，每年就有大约500种化学制品投入使用，其中许多是用于人类对自然的战争中。从20世纪40年代中期起，人类已经创造了200多种基本化学制品用来消灭昆虫、野草以及其他所谓的“有害生物”。
我不是说人类决不能使用化学杀虫剂。我要说的是，我们不分青红皂白地将这些有毒的、具有强大生物功能的化学制品，交给了那些对这些制品的潜在危害基本上或者完全无知的人去使用。我们使众多的人接触这些有毒物质，却没有征得他们的同意，并常常将他们蒙在鼓中。我还要说的一点是，我们允许使用这些化学制品，却事先很少或者根本没有调查它们对土壤、水、野生生物以及人类自身造成的影响。我们缺乏对万物赖以生存的自然界生态统一的关心，对此，我们的后代是不可能原谅的。

基因技术能否使人更聪明?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."
许多人都希望自己能变成更聪明。普林斯顿神经生物学家Joseph Z. Tsien就找到了这把开启智慧之门的钥匙：他于九月宣布，通过改变影响学习和记忆能力的基因培养出了一只聪明的老鼠。类似的基因处理技术有望在未来日子里运用到人脑，以推动人类智慧的飞跃。
该技术的奥秘就在于名为nmda感受器的脑细胞的功能。Tsien将其比作一个传递信息流的圆柱通道或窗口。当窗口开放时，某种称为神经传递素的化学物质就能轻易流过，记忆因此登记并存储了下来。然而，当器官成熟时，这扇窗口就开始关闭。(这也能解释为何 儿童 长大后(性器官成熟之时)会失去掌握新语言的能力，以及为何某些人年老时会患失忆)。
Tsien注意到，当感受器与名为NR2B的基因协作时效率会更高。因此，他将NR2B基因植入一批老鼠的受精卵中。一只普通老鼠的记忆之窗仅开放千分之150秒。而经Tsien植入基因的老鼠，记忆之窗能开放千分之250秒，这已经能够使其 记忆力 发生惊人的改变。当他让自己的老鼠与普通老鼠互斗时，它们竟能轻而易举地取胜。普通老鼠能够保留关于Lego block的记忆12小时，而聪明的老鼠居然能将记忆保持三天。“这可是一个意义深远的进步。”Tsien这样说。
那么，人类也能接受这种基因移植吗? 或许可以，但前提是基因工程得首先做出非凡的成就，还必须解决一系列棘手的伦理问题。Tsien保证他一定会将那些披着毛皮的小天才锁入实验室，远离人们的食品柜。“否则，”他说，“为了捉住他们，人们就不得不去寻找更聪明的猫或者功能更强的捕鼠器了。”

食用转基因食品安全吗?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.
传统的植物培育 方法 ，是依照植物自然杂交的方式，进行相同物种的人工杂交。比如，抗病小麦同高产小麦杂交，形成了一种具有双重特性的新的小麦品种。这种自然的基因交换既安全，又具有相当的可预见性。
基因工程是在彼此毫无关系的物种之间，相互交换在自然条件下无法交换的基因。它可在有巨大差异的物种之间进行基因交换。比如，将蝎子毒素基因注入玉米，或者将鱼防冻基因注入西红柿。即使在玉米DNA中，蝎子毒素基因依然可能获得有机组织产生蝎子毒素。但是在这种异质的环境中，这种基因产品会有什么其他作用吗?我们实际上已经发现这个问题：将人类生长荷尔蒙基因植入猪的体内，一定会使猪的生长加速，但是同时也使猪患上了关节炎和内斜视，而这一切是完全无法预测的。
打个比方，人类的智力基因显而易见在人体DNA内和注入卷心菜DNA后的作用是不同的。但将它植入卷心菜中会产生什么样的副作用呢?换句话说，食用转基因食品安全吗?没有人知道答案，因为人们尚未进行长期的测试。
在英国或者美国，一个公司如果希望其转基因产品获得批准，它必须向管理机构提供本公司转基因产品安全测试的结果。Monsanto的大豆在获得批准之前，曾用了10周时间进行喂鱼试验。目前，尚无要求对转基因产品进行独立测试、长期测试、人体测试，或者就其对儿童及过敏者所造成的特定危险进行测试。
英国政府目前的态度是：“尚无证据表明食用转基因食品存在长期性的危险。”在美国，人们正在起诉美国食品药品管理局掩盖转基因食品安全性的研究结果，这些研究结果表明，食用转基因食品可能导致危险。

有关简单的英语短文篇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.
我们主要能从这幅图上看到的是一只小鸟为自己的家被毁坏而悲伤。当然，鸟类通常把家建在树上，因为图中没有树了--只有树桩，表明原来的树被砍伐了-这只鸟无处藏身。实际上，这只鸟别无选择，只能停在被用来破坏它原来家园的斧柄上。我们可以从图中推测出画家试图把我们的注意力吸引到森林遭到破坏这一悲剧上，而这正是威胁地球生态平衡的一部分。他似乎想说很快世界上将没有树了，但我认为这只可怜的小鸟象征包括人类在内的所有生物。而且，如果我们允许继续破坏环境，我们也会像小鸟一样无家可归。
这幅简单的图画是对全人类的一个警钟。如果不想让这个对这个星球可怕未来的生动的描绘变成现实，我们现在必须采取积极的措施停止掠夺地球的自然资源。很明显，画家在力劝我们开始拯救森林的行动。我们都可以参与，敦促当地政府采取措施拯救树木。

世界环境日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".
世界环境日为每年的6月5日，起始于1972年，它是联合国为了提高全球的环保意识而创建的。环境日的创立展现了人们对环境问题的认识和态度，表达了人们对美好环境的追求渴望。每一年联合国环境规划署都会提出一个环境日主题，而2014年的主题主要着重于小岛屿与气候变化，口号是“提高你的呼声，而不是海平面”。今年的口号是“改善环境质量 推动绿色发展”。
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.
庆祝世界环境日的方式多种多样，例如植树，对废物进行循环利用，参加清洁行动等等。当然，人们也可以做些简单的小事来纪念，比如说不驾驶私家车上班，改乘公交车去上班。我相信只要大家都将这些环保小事当成习惯，我们将会为建造美好环境做出重大贡献。

校园防火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?”
近年来，人们对连续的校园火灾感到震惊。每一个事故中都有严重的伤亡报道，房屋被烧毁，学生失去生命，财产受到损失。面对这样一个令人毛骨悚然的事实，人们不禁反问，“究竟是什么导致这些悲剧反复发生?”
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.
一项简单的调查揭露，人为因素仍然是主要的原因。比如，其中三起事故都是由于学生使用“热得快”而引起的。由于学生经常让“热得快”处于无人看守状态，如果瓶中的水烧干却没有人在旁边拔掉电源的话风险是相当高的。其他情况，如火炉，蜡烛，烟头等也会引起火灾。
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.
因为如果能够采取适当的预防措施，大部分的这些灾难原本是可以避免的，所以学生应该更好地接受控制火灾的重要性以及措施的知识。以下三个警告对我们学生尤其重要：第一，学会如何使用灭火器。第二，仔细检查蜡烛，热水器，炉具及其他电器，并确保在离开房间之前没有明火。最后，不要在寝室内吸烟。

用英文写人对鲸鱼的危害
行动起来，保护鲸鱼鲸类的拉丁学名是由希腊语中的“海怪”一词衍生的，由此可见古人对这类栖息在海洋中的庞然大物所具有的敬畏之情。
其实，鲸类动物的体形差异很大，小型的体长只有1米左右，最大的则可达30米以上。
它们中的大部分种类生活在海洋中，仅有少数种类栖息在淡水环境中，体形同鱼类十分相似，体形均呈流线型，适于游泳，所以俗称为鲸鱼。
然而，这么可爱的鲸鱼为什么还有一些国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，日本捕鲸船队又再次以“科考”的名义，去捕杀鲸鱼。
这次日本捕鲸队打算捕鲸超过1000头，其中包括50头座多鲸，座多鲸属于濒临灭绝动物，这是日本由始以来最大规模捕杀座多鲸的行动。
国际捕鲸委员会禁止商业捕鲸活动，但并不禁止以科研为目的的捕鲸。
与以往一样，日本再次称这次捕鲸活动的目的为“科考”。
日本人一直认为鲸肉是强身健体的美食之一，在日本的市场和餐馆，每年有2000吨的鲸肉销售。
【保护鲸鱼的作文3篇】保护鲸鱼的作文3篇。
据国际爱护动物基金会的dna采样分析结果显示，日本市场销售的鲸肉包括座头鲸、长须鲸、灰鲸、露脊鲸等多种濒危鲸种。
日本人为了满足自己的胃和商业利益，每年将罪恶之手伸向这些海洋中的灵物、海洋的霸主，而这些可爱的生灵们每天面临着美丽谎言下的杀戮。
，由于人类的捕杀，目前全世界13种鲸中至少有5种濒临灭绝。
“鲸鱼保护者基金”负责人在一项声明中说，这场活动旨在让所有人都明白，保护鲸鱼是每个人义不容辞的责任。
他们声明说，由于人类捕杀和全球变暖等原因，鲸鱼的数量在世界范围内急剧减少。
人类如果不采取保护措施，用不了多久，鲸鱼将从海洋中消失。
当众批评一些国家不顾国际社会暂停捕杀鲸鱼的禁令，仍然在肆无忌惮地捕杀鲸鱼。
因此，我们应尽自己的所能呼吁全世界的人民保护鲸鱼，让绿色环保组织在南太平洋规划出一片水域当作自然保护区，禁止那些捕鲸船只捕杀鲸鱼，不要让鲸鱼们在海里默默的哭泣，还它们一个美好的家园！
英语作文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——我们的母亲
人们经常说地球就像我们的母亲.她给了地球上所有生物生命,给我们提供生活所必需的空气、食物、水和一切基本的需要.
曾经她美丽富饶,而现在她变得越来越脏,越来越贫脊,那都是我们造成的.请好好看一看她：受污染的江河湖海、扩张的沙漠、森林和野生生物的毁灭、臭氧层的耗尽……
她能忍受她的孩子到处乱扔废弃物吗?她能忍受她的孩子砍伐树木、毁坏草原,让酸雨毁灭一切吗?我们能忍受她遭受这样的痛苦吗?我们该问问我们自己,这就是我们对待母亲的方式吗?
洪水、干旱、酸雨……这些都是自然对我们的惩罚.每个人都应该清楚人类只有一个地球.如果我们继续这样对待她,她将不再适合我们居住了.是该我们好好爱她、照顾她、治疗她的时候了.我们应该拯救地球,以便拯救我们自己.

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——一个社会问题
我们看报的时候,经常会看到“污染”这个词.这个词对于几十年前的人来说并不熟悉.然而对于我们来说,它是一个严重的威胁,因为它意味着危害空气、海洋、河流和土地,进而对我们造成伤害.
有很多工厂给我们带来了污染.早上我们呼吸不到新鲜的空气.这主要是因为这些工厂里排放出有毒的气体,尤其是化工厂.在江河湖海里到处都有工业垃圾.一些工厂把废弃物排放到江河和海洋里.人们喝了这里面的水就会中毒.除此之外,还有从船上扔下来的垃圾和海洋里发生事故的船只流出来的油.
在陆地上,街道上乱扔的垃圾不仅影响市容,还危害我们的健康.这主要是因为人们对垃圾的不正确的处理.
我们如果不对污染采取措施,总有一天我们会被杀死的.有些人总爱把这归咎于工业革命.相反,污染问题还必须靠现代科学和技术来解决.
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.
传统教育方式
你的老师还在用传统方法授课吗?现在教育方式的改革需要进行.过去,老师把他所有的知识教给学生,并帮学生解决他们所有的难题,这似乎是理所当然的.因此,在这种情况下,学生不能自我判断,也慢慢失去自学能力.另外,他们只能学到课堂上的东西,面对任一突发事件都会作出同样的判断.当然,他 们业余感到所学知识不足以解决实际问题.
因此,是到了改变教育目标的时候了.老师的目的不光是帮助学生培养自学能力,还应教给他们独立判断的方法.学生一旦面临难题就请教老师是不必要的.重要的是让学生具有独立判断并能克服困难的能力.
总而言之,教育目标是解放而不是限制学生判断事物的内在能力.
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.
活用英文乐趣多 活用英文乐趣多
你需要常常和英语教师以外的人士用英语交谈.这当然很不容易,因为与母语相同的人自由交谈时,彼此若用英语交谈总会觉得很不自在.亦可参加英语俱乐部或国际会员的俱乐部（至少有时使用英语沟通）,这样对很多人而言更有益.如果没有合适的社团可加入,也不妨考虑任何足以提高英语能力的机会.第一篇：THE NEWSPAPER 报 纸
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.
现今报纸拥有极大的价值,人人都应该看它.它每天提供我们各种类类的消息.它告诉我们世界政治局势.如果我们养成看报的习惯,我们就能得到足够的知识来因应我们的环境.学生虽然每天须做功课,但他们至少应该匀出一两个小时来看报.哪些,他们不但能增加知识而且也能赶上时代.总而言之,看报对学生很有益处.

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.
虽然我的日常生活十分单调,但我却竭力设法去适应它.为什么?因为我打算做一个好学生,希望将来为国家服务.
我每天六点起床、洗脸刷牙后,就开始复习功课,七点钟我就去上学.
放学后,我就回家了.我们通常在七点钟吃晚餐,之后我就开始做家庭作业,希望在睡觉前把它做完.
8A MODEL STUDENT 模范学生
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.
你价意被称为坏学生吗?当然不.就我所知,每个人都打算做模范学生.
然而,做模范学生却不容易.第一,他必须尽力获得知识（求知）.一个没有足够知识的人是不会成功的.第二,他必须记住促进健康.只有强壮的人才能做大事.第三,他应该接受道德教育.如果他品行不好,没有人会考虑和他交朋友的.
读书是一好事,但我们必须多加注意书的选择.不错,我们能从好书中获得益处.然而,坏书却对我们有害无益.

现代人为了开垦农场和取用木材而砍伐森林，并且有时候由于人们的疏忽大意引起森林火灾。不仅这样，生物与森林间那看不见摸不着的关系纽带也被人类干涉到了。有很多人类干涉食物链食物网的例子。人类干涉的危害很多年以后在南Arizona的凯亚巴布高原被证实了。人们只是想要为森林里的生物提高生物圈的质量而不是毁坏它。凯亚巴布高原曾经有一片童话故事般的森林，里面有 largesized 松树，Douglas杉树，白杉树，蓝色的和Engelmann云杉树。在1882年，一位旅游者写到：“我们漫步在这片森林公园之中，我们认为这里是所有旅游胜地中最迷人的一处。”这里同样也是落基山脉骡鹿的栖息地。印第安人每个秋季都会在此打猎以收集肉类和动物皮毛。这片森林也有山师，木狼和山猫（这些食肉动物）来维持鹿的数量不至于增长过猛。在1906年，Theodore Roosevelt 总统命凯亚巴布高原为国家森林保护区，在此禁止猎杀鹿。政府猎人开始猎杀鹿的天敌。在25年的时间里面6250只山师，狼和山猫被杀，在这个项目实施之前森林里大概有4000只鹿，到1924为止，森林里已有大约100000只鹿。鹿从木材到嫩枝，只要它们够得着的无所不吃，尽管这样，食物仍不足以支撑庞大的鹿群。于是政府有开始允许猎杀鹿了，这只微弱地减少了鹿群的数量，后来大批的鹿死于饥饿和疾病。两年内，有大约60%的鹿死亡。直到1930年，鹿群的数量已减少到20000只，到1942年鹿群的数量已减少到8000只了。

动物面临着许多问题，而人类，就是罪魁祸首。我们污染并改变了它们的生活习性。我们因为它们的毛皮，獠牙，皮肤，角而捕猎它们。我们杀了那些妨碍我们农耕或盖房的动物。我们把它们迁出大自然，带回家当宠物养。你可以做些什么来帮做这些濒临灭绝的动物呢？尽可能多的去学习跟它们有关的知识。了解得越多，你能帮助的就越多。努力支持动物园，喂一些濒临灭绝的动物，以保证他们能活下去。同那些野生动物保护团体一起工作，来尽力保护动物。你也可以在购物的时候，精明一点，别买那些在野外长大的宠物。这个世界是由许多生物构成的，大家相互依存。如果我们让地球上任何一种生物灭绝，都会影响到其他生物，甚至改变世界。让我们共同祝愿，当我们再谈起濒临灭绝的动物是，不会再说“永远地消失了”。

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(蓟). 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 (习惯)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.

⑨ 考研英语阅读理解翻译历年真题
“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

长难句分析
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.
该句主干是That's an interesting choice of adjective。现在分词短语coming from... 做后置定语，修饰前面的名词choice，相当于一个定语从句(which is)coming from... ;在分词短语中，定语从句who... 也做后置定语，修饰先行词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.
该句主干是He knows that... 。that引导的宾语从句是一个主从复合句，且从句位于主句之前，主句是the offspring will face the problems... ;从句是让步状语从句：even if he gets a dog viably pregnant;should they survive是个省略了if的条件状语从句，为插入语，修饰主句。另外，主句的宾语the problems后接有过去分词短语shown... 做后置定语，相当于一个定义从句(that)are shown... ;冒号后的名词短语做the problems的同位语。
语篇分析
本文题材涉及生物技术。作者从克隆动物这个角度间接论证克隆人的不可行性，主张应该慎重对待克隆人研究。它是一篇观点论证型文章，按照“提出观点—论证观点—重申观点”的脉络展开论述，可分成三部分。
第一段为第一部分，提出观点：克隆人是不可行的。
引用专家Mark Westhusin和一位试图克隆其爱犬的富人的话(never met a human worth cloning，a stupid endeavor)表达作者的观点。接着介绍Mark Westhusin所进行的克隆动物的实验(two calves，a cat and a dog)，并特别指出对狗的克隆最具难度(one of the mysteries of modern science)。
第二、三段为第二部分，论证观点。
第二段：指出Mark Westhusin克隆动物的经验使他极力反对克隆人(vexed by talking of human cloning)。首句是段落主题句。段中详细介绍了一个克隆狗的项目(the Missyplicity project)中出现的状况：①从成百上千的卵中只获得一打左右基因匹配的胚胎;②转移到母体时没有一个胚胎存活下来。从这些细节中可以推出，克隆是低效而且危险的。这在末句“Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous”得到了证实。该段最后还给出了Mark Westhusin的观点：动物实验中的浪费现象在人的研究中不能被接受。因此，该段将Mark Westhusin反对克隆人的态度表露无疑。

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.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos， back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts， the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction， of course， they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow， they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops， the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on， he drops out. Then， before the music starts again， one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again， one more player will be out.

三、Several years ago， a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker， another owned one of the largest companies in the world， and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.
The reporter was talking to them about being important.
“How do we know if someone is really important？” the reporter asked the banker.

The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that？” she asked.
The man shook his head， “No. I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You‘d only be important if while you were visiting the President， there was a telephone call from the president of another country， and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”
The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so？”
“No， I don‘t，” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”
“Then what would make the visitor important？” the reporter and the other two men asked.
“Oh， I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang， and the President picked up the receiver， listened and then said， ‘It’s for you.‘ ”
