To do so, however, we had to cross marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. Lucky enough, thanks to the severely cold weather which made the marchland freeze over, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle. The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered.Part III Home Reading TaskComprehension Check1. d 2. d3. b 4. a5. b 6. dTranslation1. 6月5日被选定为进攻开始日，其用意是留下一个安全系数，以防万一进攻需要推迟。2. 然而，当年春夏之交大风暴异乎寻常地多，希望在这个时候天气会出现一个适合进攻的风平浪静的间隙，可能性微乎其微。3. 要是在原定地区登陆的话，德军海岸炮群无疑会拼命抵抗并给盟军造成惨重伤亡。在新登陆区的登陆几乎没有遭到任何抵抗。4. 尽管困难重重，艾森豪威尔在与恶劣天气的赌博中赢得了胜利。Language Practice1.1) d 2) h 3) b 4) a 5) f 6) e 7) c 8) g2. 1) boast 2) obstacles 3) was concerned 4) call (it) off 5) paid off 6) was pinned down 7) contesting 8) prior to 9) hold out 10) objective 11) responsible for 12) in casePart IV Comprehensive Language PracticeModel paperCan Man Triumph over Nature?When people talk of man triumphing over nature, many things come to mind. One thinks of successes in medicine in the fight against disease, such as the invention of antibiotics and the promise held out by advances in biogenetic engineering. On a broader scale, one thinks of mans success in harnessing new forms of energy from steam power through oil to nuclear power.Yet, nature has often hit back in unexpected ways to these attempts to tame it. New forms of disease that are resistant to antibiotics are constantly developing. Burning fossil fuels has led to fears of global warming; while nuclear power has produced dangerous waste that will remain a hazard for generations to come.However, perhaps to talk of man triumphing over nature is the wrong way to look at the matter. We need to find ways to work with nature rather than forever fighting against it.(154 words)Unit 2Part I Listening TaskScript for the recording: Were going to see more and more automation as time goes on. Making a car that goes more than 100 km/h isnt a huge engineering problem but human drivers cant respond fast enough to make those speeds safe. Personally, Im all in favor of letting the car drive itself. Id much rather trust my life to the efforts of engineers and programmers than the angry, sleepy, distracted, incompetent, drunken people who are behind a lot of wheels now. Its often been said that anyone could have predicted the automobile, but only a science-fiction writer could have predicted the traffic jam. Well, here I am predicting the end of traffic jams: computer-controlled cars wont get in each others way, and they wont slow down as their drivers gaze at accidents in part because there will be many fewer accidents, and in part because the passengers in the car will be able to get a decent look without the car going at a slower speed. There really are a lot of pluses to the self-driving car: you can sleep, drink, read, watch TV, do work whatever you want while getting safely and efficiently to your destination. For my money, we cant make the transition soon enough. Road rage will be a thing of the past; theres no reason driving should be frustrating, or why car accidents should be the leading cause of death of men under the age of 25. Still, there will be a desire to get out on the open highway and just drive people do enjoy that, and it wont entirely disappear. But in the future when we talk about hybrid cars well mean cars that can be both self-driven and controlled by a driver; the terms manual and automatic wont refer to transmissions but the totality of operating the vehicle. So, yeah, you can get out on the highway when the mood strikes you but most of the other vehicles will still be driving themselves.After Listening1. the efforts of engineers and programmers2. traffic jams3. the leading cause of death4. a hybridPart II Reading taskComprehensionPossible answers to content questions1. The automobile industry ranked as among the most lucrative and powerful industries of the twentieth century.2. Cars and roads will be revolutionized in the twenty-first century.3. Because it is sensors that will enable vehicles and roads to be able to see, hear, feel, smell, talk, and act.4. Sensors can sense if a driver is drunk and refuse to start up the engine.5. The radars hidden in the bumpers can scan for nearby cars. If you make a serious driving mistake the computer will sound an immediate warning.6. If the drivers eyelids close for a certain length of time and his or her driving becomes erratic, a computer in the dashboard could alert the driver.7. GPS makes it possible for smart cars to determine their location on the earth to within about a hundred feet.8. With the price of microchips dropping so drastically, future applications of GPS are virtually limitless.9. It is expected to put smart cars on smart highways.10. They are installing an MIT-designed system which will introduce the automated driver.11. They have great hopes for its future. By 2010, telematics may well be incorporated into one of the major highways in the United States. By 2020, telematics could be adopted in thousands of miles of highways in the United States.12. Smart highways could be an environmental boon, saving fuel, reducing traffic jams, decreasing air pollution, and serving as an alternative to highway expansion.Text Organization1.Parts Paragraphs Main Ideas Part One Paras 1-3 New technology will have a dramatic impact on cars and highways in the 21st century. Part Two Paras 49 With the aid of advanced technology, smart cars will be so designed that they can help eliminate traffic accidents, determine their own precise locations and warn of traffic jams.Part Three Paras 10 13 GPS and telematics will make it possible to build smart highways, which will benefit us in a number of ways.2. 1) Smart cars can see, hear, feel, smell, talk, and act. 2) They can eliminate most of car accidents; 3) They can alert the police and provide precise location of your car if stolen; 4) They can monitor ones driving and the driving conditions nearby; 5) They can alert the driver who feels drowsy; 6) They can locate your car precisely and warn of traffic jams.Language Sense Enhancement1.1) cure 2) impact3) orbiting satellites 4) warn of5) location 6) At any given time7) vibrate 8) detected9) calculate 10) convertedVocabularyI1. 1) expansion 2) automated 3) vapor 4) take control of 5) hazards 6) satellite 7) vibrated 8) magnetic 9) bunched 10) in the air 11) got/was stuck in 12) approximately2.1) send out 2) stand up for3) pass for 4) were closing in on5) starting up 6) went through7) fill out 8) fall into3.1) The new car design incorporates all the latest safety features2) To suspend our hammock, we need to find two trees ten feet apart.3) Jason faces up to 10 years in prison for offering bribery money to the US navy official responsible for awarding lucrative contracts to his construction firm.4) Manufacturers usually begin by building the prototype of a new model before they set up a factory to make the cars.5) Medical evidence shows that smoking and lung cancer are correlated in all racial groups.4. 1) In the 1980s the notion that a car would drive itself was science fiction; today with the application of telematics and remote control, it almost has turned into a reality. Presently lots of the worlds leading automobile companies are poised to launch new smart cars. 2) Sounds are produced by objects that vibrate in the air at a rate that the ear can detect. This rate is called frequency and is measured in hertz, or vibrations per second. 3) Reflective devices are more visible at night and are used in some locations to mark lanes and other significant places on the road. Whats more, automated vehicle-control technologies are presently under development to improve highway safety. These devices are mounted in the vehicle and can alert a driver to an impending hazard or, in an emergency, override the actions of the driver.II.

Automobiles have, since their invention, revolutionized transportation, changing forever the way people live, travel, and do business. On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially highway fatalities. However, today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents. For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.Part III Home Reading TaskComprehension Check1. a 2. c3. c 4. d5. b 6. bTranslation1. 这类系统易受气候变化的影响，提供的数据不够精确，但它们不需要特别的道路设施，只需要将车道标志维护好就行了。2. 然而，不用多久，其成本就能为广大车辆拥有者和驾驶者所接受，尤其是目前不少可以应用的技术已经走向市场，开始了批量生产。3. 电子驾驶应用的最大障碍可能在于一种普遍的观念，认为这一技术的应用比实际情况更困难，更昂贵。4. 考虑到所有这些运用安全自动化交通运输系统的经验，开发由自动控制系统操纵的公路车辆算不上什么大的飞跃。Language Practice1 1) c 2) a 3) e 4) b 5) f 6) g 7) d 8) h2 1) en route 2) matures 3) equivalent 4) feasible 5) in cooperation with 6) exposure 7) At the start of 8) thereby 9) implemented 10) realistic 11) component 12) by means ofPart IV Comprehensive Language PracticeSample RsumHong QinRm. 316, New College DormitoryXuanwu University, 2270 Zhongshan RoadNanjing, Jiangsu 210009Tel: (025) 89709399Email: Employment ObjectiveReporter position with a major newspaper or magazineEducationBachelor of Arts in Journalism, Xuanwu University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, July 2010?
