Unit8 Living in an Automobile Culture

一，词汇

二，完型填空

One (1)answer to the problem of air pollution is to build a car that does not pollute. That’s what several major automobile manufactures are trying to do. But building clean car is easier (2)said than (3)done. So far, progress has been slow. Another solution is to (4)eliminate car fumes altogether by getting rid of the internalcombustion engine.

Inventors are now working on turbinepowered cars, as well as on cars (5) powered by steam and electricity. But most of us won’t be driving cars (6)run on batteries or boiling water for a while. Many automakers believe that it will take years to develop (7)practical models that are powered by electricity or steam.

To (8)rid the world of pollution—pollution caused not just by cars, but by all of modern (9) industrial life—many people believe we must make some (10) fundamental changes in the way many of us live. Americans may, for example, have to cut (11)down on the number of privately owned cars and (12)depend more on public (13)mass transit system.

Certainly the extensiveuse of new(14)transit systems could cut down on traffic (15) congestion and air pollution. But these changes do not come easily. Sometimes they (16)clash head on with other urgent problems. For example, if a factory (17)closes down because it cannot meet government pollution, a large number of workers suddenly (18)find themselves without jobs.

The questioning the quality of air they (19) breathe becomes less important than worrying about the next (20 ) paycheck.

三，翻译

There in the mist, enormous, majestic, silent, and terrible, stood the Great Wall of China. Solitarily, with the indifference of nature herself, it crept up the mountain side and slipped down to the depth of the valley. Menacingly, the grim watchtowers, stark and foursquare, at due intervals stood at their posts.

迷蒙之中呈现出来的那庞然大物，十分壮观，寂然不动而气度非凡，那就是中国的长城。它孤独地沿着山的一侧蜿蜒而上，再往下进入山谷深处，像大自然似的，一副与世无涉的冷漠样子。每隔一定的距离就有一座森严的瞭望台，冷峻挺立，十分威严。

Ruthlessly, for it was built at the cost of a million lives and each one of those great gray stones has been stained with the bloody tears of the captive and the outcast, it forged its dark way through a sea of rugged mountains.

它是铁面无情，坚忍不拔的，既然付出了千百万生命的代价建造它，每一块灰色大砖石上都染满了那离乡背井犹如囚徒者的斑斑血泪，它就一定会绝然向前，跨越崇山峻岭奔向人所不知的去处。

Fearlessly, it went on its endless journey, league upon league to the furthermost regions of Asia, in utter solitude, mysterious like the great empire it guarded. There in the mist, enormous, majestic, silent, and terrible, stood the Great Wall of China.

它具有大无畏的精神，漫漫征途无尽头，走了一程又一程，一直走到亚洲最边远的地方，茕茕孑立，神秘莫测，犹如它所捍卫的大帝国似的。中国的长城就是那样的庞然大物，在迷蒙中寂然不动，气度非凡，十分壮观。

1、清晨新鲜的空气，鸟儿的歌唱，街道两旁的花草树木，夜晚的星辰，所有这一切都会使人干到生活是无限美好的。(conspire)

The fresh morning air, the singing of birds, the trees and flowers on the sides of the street, and the stars at night conspire to make you feel how beautiful the life is.

2、一些中国品牌以富有竞争力的价位为后盾，已跻身于国际市场，同时他们也未忽略产品的质量，高效的销售以及售后服务等战略的运用。(ignore)

Some Chinese brands have nudged into the inter-national market on the back of competitive pricing. At the same time they haven’t ignored such strategies as product quality, an efficient distribution and after-sales service.

3、我妹妹玛丽的几个朋友不断地告诉她，她的朋友卡罗尔在她背后说她的坏话。玛丽经过她们的洗脑也就相信了她们的话。后来她发现事实并非如此时，感到非常抱歉。(brainwash)

Several of her friends brainwashed my sister Mary into believing that her best friend Carol was saying nasty things about her behind her back. Mary was as sorry as she could be when she found out it wasn’t true.

4、如果政治家想赢得选举胜利必须努力表现自己。(project)

A politician must project himself if he wants to win an election.

5、随着生活节奏的加快，人们感到时间的紧迫，驾车的速度越来越快。马路就像赛场跑道，高速行驶的汽车严重威胁到行人的安全。(race track; sorely)

With the quicken pace of life, people feel time presses and drive their cars faster and faster, which makes the roadway look like a race track. The automobiles running at a high speed sorely threaten the safety of pedestrians.

6、现如今人们对汽车的依赖性越来越强，即使时上下班只有1英里的路程，也要驱车前往。(a round trip to work; resort to)

Nowadays people become increasingly dependent on automobiles. Despite one mile round trip to work, they will resort to automobiles.

7、中国制造的商品以其物美价廉赢得了世界各国消费者的青睐。(win one’s heart)

Low in price and good in quality, the commodities made in China have won hearts of the consumers all over the world.

8、中国的汽车工业白手起家，逐渐发展到如今这样的规模。但是，它仍然处于初级阶段，对其设定过高的质量标准是不切合实际的。(from scratch)

Starting from scratch, Chinese automobile industry has gradually developed into what it is. But with it at the preliminary stage, it is impractical to set an exorbitant quality standard for it.
