撷墨教育整理 第 11 单元 Cyber World Unit 11A 课后练习 翻译 短文 P325-326 Don’t we find it irresistible? The Internet is everywhere, and it is loved and used by everyone for everything. Many of us get up in the morning, and before saying hello to anyone we live with or before even having breakfast, we sit down and use and enjoy the Internet. We get our news, receive our mail, send our letters, write to our teachers, do our shopping, arrange our lives, schedule our travels, meet new friends, review all the knowledge in the universe, and most of us do it while we are sitting in a chair looking at the screen. Can life get any better? I think any of us who make the Internet a daily companion would agree that nothing has been the same since we first decided to go online. A quick survey reveals that most people will tell you that they use the Internet to stay in touch with others. Most of us say that writing or receiving e-mail is our number one use of Internet. We do this at home, at work, or wherever we sit down at a computer. We send and receive e-mails for fun, for personal reason, for daily business, and in all areas of our work. The Internet allows us to communicate from room to room, city to city, or country to country for the same price and the same immediate speed. Correspondence is king of Internet use. 翻译： 1.Don’t we find it irresistible? __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 2.The Internet is everywhere, and it is loved and used by everyone for everything. 1 / 12 撷墨教育整理 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 3.Many of us get up in the morning, and before saying hello to anyone we live with or before even having breakfast, we sit down and use and enjoy the Internet. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 4.We get our news, receive our mail, send our letters, write to our teachers, do our shopping, arrange our lives, schedule our travels, meet new friends, review all the knowledge in the universe, and most of us do it while we are sitting in a chair looking at the screen. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 5.Can life get any better? __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 6.I think any of us who make the Internet a daily companion would agree that nothing has been the same since we first decided to go online. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 12 撷墨教育整理 7.A quick survey reveals that most people will tell you that they use the Internet to stay in touch with others. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 8.Most of us say that writing or receiving e-mail is our number one use of Internet. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 9.We do this at home, at work, or wherever we sit down at a computer. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 10.We send and receive e-mails for fun, for personal reason, for daily business, and in all areas of our work. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 11.The Internet allows us to communicate from room to room, city to city, or country to country for the same price and the same immediate speed. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 3 / 12 撷墨教育整理 12.Correspondence is king of Internet use. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 短文 P326-327 Relationships are becoming increasingly common across the Internet in all their varied forms. Tens of thousands of people are exploring online romances and millions more are forging friendships over the Internet. In our new digital age these online relationships could very well be the next logical step for humanity. People have the opportunity to know all manner of folk they would never meet in their day-to-day life. These online relationships often cross cultural, economical, national, age and societal boundaries in ways not even possible in the real world. However, when you are talking to people online, you have no way of telling what the person you are talking to is like. Without the ability to see someone, you cannot properly judge them, and you never know what sort of person you are talking to until you make the dangerous step of meeting them in real life. 翻译： 1.Relationships are becoming increasingly common across the Internet in all their varied forms. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 2.Tens of thousands of people are exploring online romances and millions more are forging 4 / 12 撷墨教育整理 friendships over the Internet. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 3.In our new digital age these online relationships could very well be the next logical step for humanity. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 4.People have the opportunity to know all manner of folk they would never meet in their day- to-day life. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 5.These online relationships often cross cultural, economical, national, age and societal boundaries in ways not even possible in the real world. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 6.However, when you are talking to people online, you have no way of telling what the person you are talking to is like. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 5 / 12 撷墨教育整理 __________________________________________________________________________ 7.Without the ability to see someone, you cannot properly judge them, and you never know what sort of person you are talking to until you make the dangerous step of meeting them in real life. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 短文 P327 （太短，不会出） My friend Nancy and I decided to introduce her elderly mother to the magic of the Internet. Our first move was to access the popular Ask Jeeves website. We told her it could answer any question she had. Nancy’s mother was very skeptical until Nancy said, “it’s true, Mom. Think of something to ask it.” As I sat with fingers poised over the keyboard, Nancy’s mother thought for a while and responded, “How is Aunt Helen feeling?” 翻译： 1.My friend Nancy and I decided to introduce her elderly mother to the magic of the Internet. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 2.Our first move was to access the popular Ask Jeeves website. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 6 / 12 撷墨教育整理 3.We told her it could answer any question she had. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 4.Nancy’s mother was very skeptical until Nancy said, “it’s true, Mom.

Most networks now feature their television programs on Internet TV sections of the show’s official website. However, these are often only viewable to Internet users located within the United States. Unlike streaming video, downloadable video allows users to keep the video content on their computers, and is the most popular method of watching Internet TV. The major benefits of Internet TV include programming selection and flexibility. Unlike regular television, Internet TV users can select virtually any program and episode they choose to watch at any given time. Internet TV watchers also don’t need to record programs with a digital video recorder in order to pause, rewind or fast forward through certain sections -- both 7 / 12 撷墨教育整理 streaming and downloading sites allow users these capabilities with Internet TV. 翻译： 1.Internet TV most often refers to television shows that are available to watch on the Internet via downloading or streaming video. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 2.Most networks now feature their television programs on Internet TV sections of the show’s official website. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 3.However, these are often only viewable to Internet users located within the United States. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 4.Unlike streaming video, downloadable video allows users to keep the video content on their computers, and is the most popular method of watching Internet TV. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 5.The major benefits of Internet TV include programming selection and flexibility. __________________________________________________________________________ 8 / 12 撷墨教育整理 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 6.Unlike regular television, Internet TV users can select virtually any program and episode they choose to watch at any given time. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 7.Internet TV watchers also don’t need to record programs with a digital video recorder in order to pause, rewind or fast forward through certain sections -- both streaming and downloading sites allow users these capabilities with Internet TV. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 短文 P335 My hometown and my college town have several things in common. First, both are small rural communities. For example, my hometown, Gridlock, has a population of only about 10,000 local residents. Similarly, my college town, Subnormal, consists of about 11,000 local residents. This population swells to 15,000 people when the college students are attending classes. A second way in which these two towns are similar is that they are both located in rural areas. Gridlock is surrounded by many acres of farmland, which is devoted mainly to growing corn and soybeans. In the same way, Subnormal lies in the center of farmland that is used to raise hogs and cattle. Thirdly, these towns are similar in that they contain college 9 / 12 撷墨教育整理 campuses. Gridlock, for example, is home to Neutron College, which is famous for its Agricultural Economics program as well as for its annual Corn-Watching Festival. Likewise, the town of Subnormal boasts the beautiful campus of Quark College, which is well known for its Agricultural Engineering department and also for its yearly Hog-Calling Contest. 翻译： 1.My hometown and my college town have several things in common. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 2.First, both are small rural communities. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 3.For example, my hometown, Gridlock, has a population of only about 10,000 local residents. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 4.Similarly, my college town, Subnormal, consists of about 11,000 local residents. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 5.This population swells to 15,000 people when the college students are attending classes. __________________________________________________________________________ 10 / 12 撷墨教育整理 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 6.A second way in which these two towns are similar is that they are both located in rural areas. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 7.Gridlock is surrounded by many acres of farmland, which is devoted mainly to growing corn and soybeans. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 8.In the same way, Subnormal lies in the center of farmland that is used to raise hogs and cattle. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 9.Thirdly, these towns are similar in that they contain college campuses. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 10.Gridlock, for example, is home to Neutron College, which is famous for its Agricultural Economics program as well as for its annual Corn-Watching Festival. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 11 / 12 撷墨教育整理 __________________________________________________________________________ 11.Likewise, the town of Subnormal boasts the beautiful campus of Quark College, which is well known for its Agricultural Engineering department and also for its yearly Hog-Calling Contest. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ 12 / 12
