比較：loudly和loud的區(qū)別

loud表示“大聲；響亮”，可用作形容詞或副詞。

（1） 用作形容詞。He has a loud voice. 他嗓門(mén)大。

The music is too loud； please turn it down.

這音樂(lè)太吵人了，請(qǐng)把音量關(guān)小一點(diǎn)。

（2） 用作副詞（與loudly同義），一般只與動(dòng)詞speak， talk， laugh， sing等連用，且必須放在這些動(dòng)詞之后。

I can’t hear you. Please speak louder.

我聽(tīng)不見(jiàn)，請(qǐng)說(shuō)大聲些。

loudly只用作副詞（與用作副詞的loud同義）。

Don’t talk so loudly （loud）. 別這么大聲講話(huà)。

注意：loudly比用作副詞的loud使用范圍更廣，它除與 speak，talk，laugh等動(dòng)詞連用外，還可與其他表示聲響的動(dòng)詞連用，且可以放在這些動(dòng)詞之前或之后。

The man snored loudly. 這個(gè)人鼾聲打得響。

因?yàn)槲液芷?，很快就睡著了?/p>

He fell asleep when there was a loud knock at the door.

他剛睡著，這時(shí)有人大聲敲門(mén)。

The baby has been asleep for an hour.

這孩子睡著一個(gè)小時(shí)了。

注意：go/get to sleep和fall asleep意思接近，都指“入睡，睡著”。 go/get to sleep強(qiáng)調(diào)進(jìn)入睡眠狀態(tài)，常用于否定句、疑問(wèn)句、條件句中。go to bed著重指上床睡覺(jué)的動(dòng)作，無(wú)“睡著”之意。go to bed在前，然后才go/get to sleep或fall asleep。

12. as a result （of ） （由于……的）結(jié)果

As a result， he had to leave.

結(jié)果，他只得離開(kāi)。

As a result of the car accident， he was late for school.

English Is So Hard

Johnny asked Dotty how her first day in her Duarte ESL class was. She told him it was terrible. She understood little of what the Level 4 teacher said， because he spoke too fast for her. She had struggled through a Level 3 class at a Monrovia school.

When the teacher asked if there were any questions， she told him that she didn’t understand most of what he had said. He told her not to worry； she could take the class again if she failed it the first time. She didn’t want to fail it the first time， however， or any time.

The teacher gave them homework the first day， of course. They were supposed to write a 300-word essay supporting gun control. Of course， Dotty said， she could write that essay in her native language. But there was no way she could write it in English. She showed Johnny the textbook. The print was so tiny that trying to read just a few pages gave her a headache. On top of that was all the new vocabulary on each page.

“I’m going to drop the class，” she said. She wanted to cry. When was she ever going to learn this language？

1. How was Dotty’s first day in Duarte ESL？ （Within 3 words）

2. Why did Dotty understand little of what the teacher said？ （Within 6 words）

3. What’s the teacher’s advice if Dotty failed the class？ （Within 5 words）

閱讀理解

Anyone who has ever lost keys or money will have wished for a simple but effective way to make sure it never happens again. A US company is trying to help.

Using a tiny microchip which is implanted （植入） into the arm， they have come up with a replacement for cash or credit cards that cannot be left at home or dropped on the bus.

The Verichip is about the size of a grain of rice and works using radio frequency identification technology. At a shop， a radio frequency “reader” would send a signal and the chip in your arm would respond with your own identity number. That would give the “reader” your financial information， and money could be taken directly from your accounts and you wouldn’t even have to reach for your wallet.

The company also hopes to include other information on the chip， such as medical records， building security codes （社保密碼） and passwords， making life even easier.

But not everyone is happy with the developments. Some say that a lot can go wrong with the chip. A clever thief could build a fake reader that would steal your information without you knowing. So your money could still be stolen. Privacy is a big problem， too. Stores， or even the government， only need to track the chip to find out what you buy， how much you spend and where you go.

And if you wanted to get rid of your chip，you would need an operation to remove it.

1. What’s Verichip？

A. An identity number.B. A security code.

C. A tiny microchip.D. A radio “reader”.

2. What does the Paragraph 3 mainly talk about？

A. How Verichip works.

B. The importance of Verichip.

C. The development of Verichip.

D. How Verichip helps take money from the accounts.

3. Which is true about Verichip？

A. Your information on it will be safe.

B. Medical records have already been included.

C. You can easily reach for your wallet when using it.

D. An operation has to be performed to remove it.

4. What can be inferred from the text about Verichip？

A. The idea of it is welcomed.

B. Its company has financial problems.

C. It needs improving to be widely accepted.

D. Its users have the experience of losing keys or money.

Maglev： A New Generation in

Railroad Technology

磁懸浮列車(chē)：火車(chē)技術(shù)的一個(gè)新時(shí)代

Japan has one of the most advanced mass railroad systems in the world.The Shinkansen， referred to as the Bullet Train，covers thousands of kilometers of tracks at speeds in excess of 200 kilometers per hour. Each day more than 270 bullet-nosed trains convey 340，000 passengers throughout Japan.

日本是擁有世界上最先進(jìn)的火車(chē)體系的國(guó)家之一。新干線(xiàn)，即子彈頭列車(chē)，以每小時(shí)200千米的速度跑完數(shù)千公里的距離。每天有270列子彈頭列車(chē)運(yùn)送34萬(wàn)乘客往來(lái)日本全境。

Since the Japanese railroad system went into service in 1964， the trains have carried more than 1.8 billion travelers without an injury or a fatality. The well-maintainer system is not only safe and fast， but it is not petroleum dependent.

自從1964年日本鐵路體系運(yùn)行以來(lái)，火車(chē)已運(yùn)送18億旅客，無(wú)一傷亡。這種性能良好的系統(tǒng)不但方便快捷，而且不用石油供給能量。

Technical specialists working at Japanese National Railways had experimented with a prototype magnetic levitation train. The maglev （an acronym for magnetic levitation） actually races along a guideway at almost 500 kilometers per hour， floating on a magnetic field. The maglev operates on the basic principles of electromagnetism.

致力于日本國(guó)家鐵路的技術(shù)專(zhuān)家已經(jīng)對(duì)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的磁懸浮列車(chē)進(jìn)行試驗(yàn)。這種列車(chē)實(shí)際上可以沿指定的軌道以每小時(shí)500千米的速度飄于磁面前行。這種磁力通過(guò)電磁鐵而產(chǎn)生。

The train depends on magnetism for propulsion， suspension， and braking. Specialized sets of magnetic coils are bulit into the body framework of the train. Other sets of magnetic coils are installed in the bottom and sides of a U-shaped guideway that cradles the train. When electric power is switched on， the coils on the train and in the guideway produce a magnetic field with north and south poles. The magnetic forces between the coils on the train and the coils in the guideway can be made to attract or repel each other by changing their polarity.

這種列車(chē)通過(guò)磁力進(jìn)行推進(jìn)、懸浮、制動(dòng)。一些特制的磁線(xiàn)圈安裝于火車(chē)主體結(jié)構(gòu)中，其他的磁線(xiàn)圈被安裝于支撐列車(chē)的U形鐵軌的底部和側(cè)面。通電后，列車(chē)及鐵軌的磁線(xiàn)圈將產(chǎn)生南北極磁場(chǎng)。列車(chē)及鐵軌的磁線(xiàn)圈生成的磁力會(huì)相互吸引或相互排斥。

Low maintenance is another advantage of the maglev train because of the fact that the maglev has no moving motor parts or steel wheels as conventional trains do. This factor virtually eliminates guideway wear and tear and prevents costly break-downs. In addition， much less time will be spent on equipment inspection， track repair and parts replacement.

低維修率也是磁懸浮列車(chē)的一個(gè)優(yōu)勢(shì)，因?yàn)樗鼈儾幌駛鹘y(tǒng)列車(chē)有活動(dòng)的部分或鋼輪。事實(shí)上，這減少了鋼軌的摩擦與損耗，不會(huì)形成高昂的維修費(fèi)用。此外，設(shè)備檢查、鐵軌維修、零件更換也無(wú)需太多時(shí)間。
