Section Ⅱ LESSON 1 SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS
原文 呈现
If you had to choose the single most important discovery of the 20th century【1】, you would have a real problem on your hands. In just 100 years, the world has changed completely. Amazing discoveries were made in medicine, communications and transport, not to mention① our knowledge of the world and space. Medical advances ranged from discovering the causes of diseases under microscopes to② staging operations to replace diseased organs with③ donated④ munications changed with the introduction of mobile phones, and the way we correspond⑤ went from writing letters to emailing and sending instant⑥ messages. We started flying around the world, launching⑦ satellites into orbit and, at the same time, scientists figured out⑧ how to split⑨ the atom, previously thought to be the smallest particle⑩ of matter in the universe.
Although it is impossible to choose the most important discovery, it is possible to single out a few pioneers of the 20th century. Here are some of them.

如果你必须在20世纪重大发现中选出最重要的一项,你将会真正陷入进退两难的境地。在仅仅100年中,世界就完全变样了。人们在医学、通信和交通方面都有惊人的发现,更别提我们对世界和太空的认识了。医学上的进步范围很广,从利用显微镜揭示病因到实施用捐献器官替代病变器官的手术。移动电话的使用给通信业带来了改变,通信方式由写信变为发电子邮件和发送即时信息。我们开始坐飞机周游世界,发射人造卫星至轨道,同时,科学家们发现了如何分裂原子,在此之前,原子被认为是宇宙中最小的物质微粒。
虽然不可能选出最重要的一项发现,但是选出20世纪的几位先驱是可能的。以下是他们中的几位。
原文 呈现
One of the 20th century's premier scientists was Albert Einstein. In the summer of 1905, this outspoken young man was rocking his one year old baby when he was suddenly inspired. Subsequently , “E=mc2” was born. It showed how a small piece of mass could produce an unbelievable amount of energy. Einstein then showed in his “theory of relativity ” that not even time, mass or length are constant—they change according to our experience of them.
In 1928, another important finding was made by biologist Alexander Fleming. Before he went on holiday , Fleming left a dish of bacteria in his laboratory. When he came back, he noticed something strange. He double checked and saw a blue mould in the dish around which the bacteria had been destroyed. This blue mould was in fact the natural form of penicillin, which Fleming perceived could be used to kill bacteria【2】. A few years later, penicillin was being mass produced and helping to save the lives of millions. Fleming remained humble about the amazing outcome of his discovery. “Nature made penicillin,” he said, “I just found it.”

premier adj.最好的;最重要的
outspoken adj.坦率的,直言不讳的

outcome n.结果,后果

20 世纪最杰出的科学家之一是阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦。1905年夏天,这个坦率的年轻人正摇着他一岁大的孩子时,突然受到启发。随后,“E=mc2”诞生了。它表明了一小块物质是如何能够产生难以置信的巨大能量的。爱因斯坦随后在他的“相对论”中指出,即使是时间、质量或长度也不是恒定不变的,它们根据我们对它们的感知而变化。
1928年,另一项重要的发现由生物学家亚历山大·弗莱明发现。去度假之前,弗莱明把一个带有细菌的盘子落在了实验室里。当他回来时,他注意到了不同寻常的东西。经过反复检查,他发现盘子里有一种蓝色的霉菌,而霉菌周围的细菌已经被杀死了。这种蓝色的霉菌实际上是自然状态的青霉素,弗莱明认为它可以用来杀死细菌。数年后,青霉素开始大量生产,帮助挽救了数百万人的生命。弗莱明对他这一惊人的发现结果保持谦虚的态度,他说:“是大自然创造了青霉素,我只是发现了它。”

During World War Ⅱ, when Fleming's discovery was first helping to cure people, the US Navy was looking for ways of improving the accuracy of their missiles. The navy turned to Eckert, an engineer, and Mauchly, a physicist, to deal with the problem and produce a machine to do the job in a joint effort. Although they only finished after the war in 1946, it did not matter. This huge machine was the world's first computer, but it was nothing like our computers today. It measured 100 feet long by over 10 feet high and weighed over 30,000 kilograms. With 18,000 tubes, thousands of circuits and 6,000 switches, it used so much energy that when it was turned on, the lights in the local town went out! ,

accuracy n.准确性;精准度;正确,准确
turn to 求助于;变成;转向
physicist n.物理学家
joint adj.联合的,共同的,共有的
nothing like 完全不像
tube n.圆管,管子;电视显像管,阴极射线管
第二次世界大战期间,正当弗莱明的发现首次用来帮助治愈人们时,美国海军正在寻找提高导弹精度的方法。海军求助于工程师埃克特和物理学家莫克利来解决这个难题,并让两人共同努力制造一台机器来完成这项工作。尽管他们在1946年战争结束后才制造出来机器,但这无关紧要。这台巨大的机器是世界上第一台计算机,但是它完全不像我们今天的计算机。它长100英尺,高10多英尺,重30 000多公斤。它有18 000个显像管,数千条电路和6 000个开关,耗电量如此巨大,以至于当它启动的时候,当地镇上所有的灯都熄灭了!

With the development of computers, people expected to get more things done efficiently. During the Cold War, a “huge network” of computers was proposed by two American scientists. With computers talking to one another, it would enable government leaders to communicate with each other. By the end of the 1960s, some mini networks were established, but only a few computers could connect to them. In 1990, Tim Berners Lee invented the World Wide Web, which enabled computers all over the world to communicate with each other【3】. Nowadays, life without the Internet for most people is unimaginable.
These pioneers of the 20th century were all dedicated to improving the quality of human life on Earth. Human life on this planet has been transformed into a “global village”, with all the different countries linked in the chain of common interests. There is no doubt about it. Without the breakthroughs of these pioneers in science and technology, whether lucky or planned, the world as we know it today would be a completely different place.

with the development of... 随着……的发展
efficiently adv.有效率地,高效能地
propose vt.提出(某观点、方法等)
unimaginable adj.难以想象的;不可思议的
be dedicated to 致力于;奉献于;献身于
be transformed into... 转变为……
【3】which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the World Wide Web。
随着计算机的发展,人们期望能有效地完成更多的事情。冷战期间,两位美国科学家提出建立一个计算机的“巨型网络”。计算机能交换信息,可以使政府领导人相互沟通。到了20 世纪60年代末,一些小型网络已经建立起来,但只有少数计算机可以接入它们。1990 年,蒂姆·博纳·李发明了万维网,使世界各地的计算机能够相互通信。如今,对大多数人来说,没有互联网的生活是难以想象的。
这些20 世纪的先驱都致力于改善地球上人类的生活质量。人类在这个星球上的生活已经转变为“地球村”,所有不同的国家都被连接在共同的利益链中。对此 人们 毫无疑问。如果没有这些先驱取得的科技突破,无论这些突破是侥幸的还是计划之中的,我们今天所熟知的世界都将是一个完全不同的地方。

When John Todd was a child, he loved to explore the woods around his house, observing how nature solved problems. A dirty stream, for example, often became clear after flowing through plants and along rocks where tiny creatures lived. When he got older, John started to wonder if this process could be used to clean up the messes people were making.
After studying agriculture, medicine, and fisheries in college, John went back to observing nature and asking questions. Why can certain plants trap harmful bacteria(细菌) Which kinds of fish can eat cancer causing chemicals With the right combination of animals and plants, he figured, maybe he could clean up waste the way nature did. He decided to build what he would later call an eco machine.
The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years, John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what's happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self repair.”

Section Ⅳ LESSON 3 STEPHEN HAWKING
原文 呈现
On 14 March, 2018, one of the world's most influential scientists, Stephen Hawking, died at his home in England, aged 76.Hawking was famous, not just for his brilliant work in theoretical① physics and cosmology②, but also for overcoming③ the challenges of ALS(a disease that affects muscle control).
Stephen Hawking was born on 8 January, 1942, in Oxford. He went to the University of Oxford to study physics in 1959. At the age of 21, when Hawking spent his first year at the University of Cambridge, physicians discovered he had a rare, slow progressing form of ALS. He was only expected to live for a few years.

2018年3月14日,世界上最有影响力的科学家之一斯蒂芬·霍金,在英国的家中去世,享年76岁。霍金不仅因在理论物理学和宇宙学方面的杰出研究而著名,更是因克服了肌萎缩侧索硬化症 一种影响肌肉控制的疾病 的挑战而令人敬佩。
1942年1月8日斯蒂芬·霍金出生于牛津。1959年,他进入牛津大学学习物理学。21岁那年,也是霍金在剑桥大学的第一年,医生发现他患有一种罕见的慢性肌萎缩侧索硬化症。他被认为只能再活几年。
原文 呈现
Hawking later found a job at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge. In the early stages of his career, his illness got worse, but he was allowed to do research only rather than④ teach, which was easier for him【1】. In 1985, he had to have an operation. As a result⑤, he lost his speech. Soon his doctors developed a piece of speech generating equipment that allowed him to speak. However, as his illness became worse【2】, he lost the use of his hands.
Although Hawking's physical abilities declined⑥ over decades, he never ceased his studies and he developed a number of⑦ new ideas about black holes. Hawking believed that the birth of the universe(the “Big Bang”) created many small black holes. His theory was that there was a sort of hole in the centre of a black hole【3】. This hole led to another universe, completely separate from our own.

后来霍金在剑桥天文研究所找了份工作。职业生涯刚一开始他的病情就恶化了,研究所允许他可以只做研究而不用教学,这对他来说更容易。1985年,他不得不动手术,结果丧失了语言能力。很快,他的医生开发了一种发声设备使他能够说话。但是,他的病情继续恶化,手也动不了了。
虽然在过去几十年里霍金的身体机能不断下降,但他从未停止过研究,并且对黑洞有了许多新的想法。霍金认为宇宙诞生时 即“宇宙大爆炸” 创造了许多小黑洞。他的理论是在黑洞的中心还有一种洞。这种洞通向另一个宇宙,与我们的宇宙完全分离。
原文 呈现
Hawking also wrote books. His 1988 book, A Brief History of Time: From the Big Bang to Black Holes, sold one copy for every 750 people on Earth. However, many people could not really understand what he had written【4】. Therefore, Hawking decided to write a simpler version, A Briefer History of Time(2005).
In The Grand Design(2010, with Leonard Mlodinow), Hawking argued that we should look for a different way to discover the deepest secrets of the universe【5】. Instead of⑧ trying to find one big new explanation, scientists should put together all the ideas that they already have【6】.

霍金还写书。他在1988年出版的《时间简史:从宇宙大爆炸到黑洞》一书,地球上平均每750人中会有1人购买过一本。然而,许多人并不能真正理解他所写的内容。因此,霍金决定写一个更简单的版本,即《时间简史》 2005 。
在《大设计》 2010年出版,与莱昂纳德·蒙洛迪诺合著 一书中,霍金提出我们应该用一种不同的方式去发现宇宙最深处的秘密。与其说尝试寻找一个全新的解释,科学家们不如把他们所有已经有的想法汇集起来。
原文 呈现
At the opening of the London 2012 Olympics, Hawking said to a TV audience of 900 million people:“Look up at the stars and not down at your feet... be curious.”
In spite of⑨ his disease, Hawking didn't consider himself an unlucky man. He said it had not prevented him from having a family, and being successful in his work. “My expectations were reduced to⑩ zero when I was 21. Everything since then has been a bonus .” And he believed this was because of the help he received from his family and a large number of people and organisations【7】.

2012 年伦敦奥运会开幕式上,霍金对9亿电视观众说:“仰望星空,而不是俯视脚下……要保持好奇心。”
虽然霍金患有疾病,但他并不认为自己是个不幸的人。他说,这并没有阻碍他拥有家庭,也没有妨碍他在工作中取得成功。“21岁时,我的人生期望值降为零。从那以后,一切都是馈赠。”他认为自己所取得的一切都源于家人的支持和许多人们与组织的帮助。

PRACTITIONERS
Jacqueline Felice de Almania (c.1322) highlights the suspicion that women practicing medicine faced. Born to a Jewish family in Florence, she moved to Paris where she worked as a physician and performed surgery. In 1322 she was tried for practicing unlawfully. In spite of the court hearing testimonials(证明) of her ability as a doctor, she was banned from medicine. James Barry (c.1789—1865) was born Margaret Bulkley in Ireland but, dressed as a man, she was accepted by Edinburgh University to study medicine. She qualified as a surgeon in 1813, then joined the British Army, serving overseas. Barry retired in 1859, having practiced her entire medical profession living and working as a man.
Tan Yunxian (1461—1554) was a Chinese physician who learned her skills from her grandparents. Chinese women at the time could not serve apprenticeships (学徒期) with doctors. However, Tan passed the official exam. Tan treated women from all walks of life. In 1511, Tan wrote a book, Sayings of a Female Doctor, describing her life as a physician. Rebecca Lee Crumpler (1831—1895) worked as a nurse for eight years before studying in medical college in Boston in 1860. Four years later, she was the first African American woman to receive a medical degree. She moved to Virginia in 1865, where she provided medical care to freed slaves.

Ⅳ.七选五
Many healthcare workers know that washing hands is important to prevent the spread of infectious disease. __1__ During a study conducted by Nicas and Best at Berkley University, they counted the number of times people touched their face with their hands. __2__ Whether we are aware of our actions or not, most of us can agree that we touch our face with our hands frequently enough.
Imagine that you are able to record a full day of your actions. Better yet, reflect on what you did when you woke up yesterday morning. Let me give you an idea of my previous morning. I was woken by the alarm clock at 6 a.m. __3__ Then I checked my phone for messages, turned on the TV for my morning news, started making my coffee and finally hit the shower. It wasn't even 5 minutes from the time I awoke and I already touched different objects. The point of this is to be aware that even in our homes we are exposed to germs in places we don't realise.
Luckily, the human body has amazing defense against harmful germs. __4__ Our white blood cells are like soldiers coming to the rescue. Unfortunately, there are a lot of areas on our face that do not have the protection of skin such as the eyes and mouth. There's a reason to every wise proverb and our parents annoying us to wash our hands before dinner.
__5__ If you have children, it is even more important to set the example because children are known to learn from adults. Let's start a good habit of washing hands. As for your friends, don't be shy about checking to make sure their hands are clean. Asking someone if they have washed their hands is caring. Checking to see if someone has washed their hands will benefit not only that person, but you and your family.
A.Our skin is the first line of defense.
B.Several minutes later, I turned off the alarm clock.
C.It is easy for us to admit that we wash our hands regularly.
D.They are more self aware that hand washing should be practised as needed.
E.Most importantly, it is our duty to set the right example for friends and family.
F.They found that the subjects touched their face 15.7 times per hour on average.
G.Do the rest of your family members, especially children, wash their hands regularly
