The roofn.屋项；顶部 of your home is probably made waterproofa.不透水的,防水的 by an oil product, bitumenn.沥青. The same product is used for the road surface outside your home. Before you leave to go to work or school, just examinevt.检查；诊察 your surroundings(surrounding):环境. Is the room warmer than the cold air outside? Oil, or electricityn.电；电流 from oil-fed generators(generator):n.发电机 may be keeping you comfortablyadv.舒适地 warm. If you are comfortably cool in a tropicaladj.热带的 climaten.气候, your air conditioning unit may also depend on oil-fed generators(generator):n.发电机.1、你曾想过没有，如果世界上用尽了石油，你的生活会发生什么样变化呢？请看一看你的日常生活。你家的屋顶可能是用一种叫沥青的石油产品做成防水的。沥青同样可用来铺你家外面的路面。在你离家去上班或上学之前，请观察一下你周围的环境。房间里会比外面冷空气暖和吗？这是石油或由燃油发电机发出来的电使你感到舒适温暖。如果你在炎热的气候里感到舒适凉爽，那么你家的空调器可能也是靠燃油发电机工作的。分析：第一句为虚拟语气； run out of =用完； depend on 依靠单词：roof屋顶； waterproof防水；bitumen沥青；surface表面； examine调查；surroundings环境； electricity电；oil-fed 喂油的，fedfeed过去分词；generator发电机；comfortably 舒适； tropical热带；climate气候；air conditioning空调； unit 装置； 2. In the kitchen and the bathroom you will probably see some plasticn.&adj.塑料(的) fittings(fitting):n.装置；设备 such as tiles(tile):n.瓷砖 and working surfaces(surface):n.表面; polystyrenen.聚苯乙烯 cups; curtains(curtain):n.窗帘 made from synthetica.合成的,人造的;虚假的 materials(material):n.材料；原料; disinfectants(disinfectant):n.消毒剂 and detergents(detergent):n.洗涤剂. All owe their originn.来源 to the oil known as petroleumn.石油 (Latina.拉丁的 n.拉丁语/Greekn&a.希腊人(语)（的） petra, rock, and Latina.拉丁的 n.拉丁语 oleum, oiln.油), found deep in the earth. Look inside the medicine cupboardn.器皿柜 for more petroleumn.石油 products(product):n.产品；成品, medicaladj.医学的；医疗的 paraffinn.石蜡 and petroleumn.石油 jellyn.凡士林. Cosmeticsn.化妆品 such as face creams, lipsticks(lipstick):n.唇膏,口红 and hair preparations(preparation):n.准备 are often based(base):基于 on petroleumn.石油.2、在厨房和浴室里你可能看到一些塑料器具，如塑料地板和塑料操作台面、聚苯乙烯杯子、合成材料的浴帘、消毒剂和去污剂。所有这些都是来自称为“Petroleum”的石油。“Petroleum”(石油)是(由拉丁或希腊文petro(岩石)和拉丁文oleum(油)组成)，深埋在地下。向药厨里看看，你可以找到更多的石油产品，如药用石蜡和凡士林。化妆品如雪花膏、唇膏、洗发剂等，常用石油作为基本原料。分析：based on使建立在.的基础上；单词：plastic塑料；fitting装置；tile瓷砖； polystyrene聚苯乙烯； curtain窗帘； synthetic 合成；material原料; disinfectant消毒剂； detergent清洁剂； origin起源；petroleum石油；product产品；medical医； cosmetic化妆品； lipstick唇膏； preparation制剂； 3. When youre out, notice the fields and gardens. Fertilizers(fertilizer):n.化肥 and insecticides(insecticide):n.杀虫剂 made from petroleumn.石油 can improvevt.提高 crop productionn.产量. Recently proteinn.蛋白质 feeds for animals have been developed by growing yeastn.酵母 in a petroleumn.石油 based stockn.基本原料. As you head for your bus, train or car, all of which use petroleum products in the form of fueln.燃料 to move them and lubricants(lubricant):n.润滑剂 to keep them in working order, take a look in the mirror. What are you wearing today? A polyestern.涤纶 shirt or dress, nylonn.尼龙 socks or stockings, and acrylica.晴纶 sweater-a raincoat of PVC聚氯乙烯 (polyvinyla.乙烯聚合物的 chloriden.氯化物)? All of these are based on petroleum products.3、当外出时你会看到农田和花园。化肥和杀虫剂是由石油制取的，可以使农作物增产。最近已经研制出一种动物食用的蛋白质饲料，它是用石油作为基本原料加上酵母而制成的。公共汽车、货车或小轿车，都是靠石油产品作燃料开动的，用润滑油保持这些车辆正常工作。当你去乘车之前要照一照镜子。看看今天穿什么衣服好？是化纤服装（衬衫还是外套），是尼龙袜（短袜还是长袜），晴纶毛衣还是塑料雨衣？而所有这些都是用石油产品作原料的。分析：in working order处于正常运转状态；take a look注视；单词：fertilizer化肥；insecticide杀虫剂； improve改善；crop农作物；production产品. protein 蛋白质； yeast酵母； fuel燃料； lubricant润滑剂； PVC（聚氯乙烯）；4. Scientists predictv.预言 that the worlds known oil resources will run out early in the next century. But long before then the world will have to decide on its priorities(priority):n.优先考虑的事. Can we afford to use so much of our limitedadj.有限的 petroleum supplies(supply):vt.供给，供应 for privatea.私人的 motoring?

What alternativeadj.可替代的 energyn.精力；能量 resources can be developed?4、科学家预言世界上已探明的石油资源将在下个世纪初用尽。但远在那时候以前，世界就必须确定石油是优先考虑控制使用的物资。石油储量既然有限，我们还能把那么多的石油用于私人汽车吗？难道航空公司还应该为了在类似的航线上竞争而允许他们的客机有空座的长途飞行吗？能开发出什么样的替代能源呢？decide on =就作出决定； long before 很早以前；predict预言；resource=资源； century世纪； priority优先权； supply=供给；private私人的；motor汽车；airline航线；compete竞争；similar类似的；route路线； distance距离； alternative可替代的；energy能源； 5. There is an old English saying, Necessityn.必要性 is the mother of invention, which means that when you are faced with a need you will discovervt.发现 some way of fulfilling实现 it. Already scientists are proposing(propose):v.提出;建议,提议 some fascinatingadj.吸引人的 solutions(solution):n.解决方法. There is one suggestionn.建议 that the wheeled(wheel):n.轮 traffic and the footsteps(footstep):n.脚步 of crowds walking the streets in majora.较大的；主要的 cities could generatev.产生 energy.

Such sun ship might travel at over one hundred kilometers an hour. In such circumstances(circumstance):n.环境,情况, of course, the tropicaladj.热带的 parts of the world would have a head start in the race to find new energy sources来源.5、英国有一句古话“需要是发明之母”。这意味着当你面对一种需要时，你将发现一种方法满足它。科学家们已经在提出一些迷人的解决方案。有一个建议提出，在大城市街道上，拥挤的人群走的脚步和路面上往来行使的车辆可以用来生产能量。一个公司提出这样想法：嵌在人行道和路面上的金属条用液压活塞的作用使飞轮转动。他们说，在繁华大城市的中心，人群和过往车辆可提供足够的能量为整个城镇的街道照明或者为一个医院或学校提供供暖系统的动力。某些人正在研
