P10：

The reasons for the changes are complex.It is clear that pollution of the air and water by factories is affecting the environment.Trees and other vegetation die,and so soil is eroded.the more trees that die,the less water is held in the earth.the need for wood for fuel and buildings leads to further deforestation,which causes further soil erosion.Local farmers find it more and more difficult to make a living.they end up using inefficient farming methods,which again leads to soil erosion.

变化的原因是复杂的。很明显,工厂空气和水的污染影响环境。树木和其它植物死亡,因此土壤侵蚀。死的更多的树,更少的水是地球。需要木材为燃料和建筑会导致进一步的砍伐森林,导致水土流失。当地的农民发现它越来越难以谋生。他们最终使用低效的农业方法,而这又会导致水土流失。

The government is carrying out anti-desertification projects,including the creation of a forest belt around deserts.the tree-planting campaign,known as the great green wall,is meant to protect beijing from sandstorms.china hopes to control the expansion of desert land by the year 2010 and plans to establish a protected eco-system in desert areas by 2050.

政府正在开展anti-desertification项目,包括建立一个在沙漠森林地带。植树造林运动,被称为绿色长城,是为了保护北京沙尘暴。中国希望控制沙漠土地的扩张到2010年,计划到2050年在沙漠地区建立一个受保护的生态系统.

Greenpeace launches renewable energy global tour

Wednesday,june 26,horns rev,denmark:in the lead up to the earth summit in johannesburg in august,the greenpeace ship, the rainbow warrior,today began the first part of a global journey to support the development of renewable energy around the world.

Offshore wind in the north sea alone can produce nearly twice the electricity needs of the north sea https://www.360docs.net/doc/f94615972.html,ing only 20% of that would supply one-third of these countries’electricity.greenpeace are going to challenge governments and industry to make this happen.

The rainbow warrior sailed today to horns rev,the world’s largest offshore wind park,which is being built off the coast of denmark.another greenpeace ship,the arctic sunrise,will begin the second part of the global tour in southeast asia next month.

“during these weeks,greenpeace will be conducting this global tour with two ships to show that renewable energy is ready and able to replace dirty coal,oil,gas and nuclear power-not only in the future,but today”,said a greenpeace spokesperson.

Wind energy is reported to be competitive with coal and gas power generation and clearly beats costly nuclear.the UK government’s energy review claimed that wind energy will be the cheapest energy source by 2020.

Next month,the arctic sunrise will be visiting the philippines and thailand,where communities are rejecting dirty,old-fashioned energy technology like coal-fired power stations and demanding clean,renewable energy.

Will English always be the main internet language

The Internet ’ s ability to connect a wide range of cultures encourages variety.However,for the time being,English dominates online because from the start it was the lingua franca of cyberspace.Will this always be the case?

Currently about 70% of Internet content is in English,but only about 44% of Internet users are native English speakers.Worldwide,native Spanish speakers outnumber native speakers of English online,and the number of native Chinese speakers is greater than both those groups put together.

Statistics show that the situation is changing.for instance,three years ago 75%of web pages were in English,but that number has dropped to 50% today.

Furthermore,Internet use among non-native speakers of English is growing at a faster rate than that of native English speakers. By 2003,the number of native English-speaking web users will have dropped to 29%,according to one estimate.

As a result,some researchers say that the early predominance of English is going to decline.they say that English will keep a special role in connecting communities whose native languages are different,but in about 20 years ’time,Spanish,French,Arabic and Chinese will also have taken on this connecting role.

If this is true ,then monolingual native English speakers may be more likely to learn another language and also become bilingual,or even multilingual.

英语一直是主要的网络语言吗

互联网的连接能力范围广泛的文化鼓励多样性。然而,就目前而言,在线英语占主导地位,因为从一开始是网络空间的通用语。总是这样吗?

目前约70%的互联网内容是英文的,但只有约44%的互联网用户都以英语为母语的人。在世界范围内,以西班牙语为母语的人超过母语为英语的人在网上,和母语为汉语的数量大于这两个组织的总和。

统计数据显示,这种情况正在改变。例如,三年前75%的web页面是英文,但这一数字已经下降到今天的50%。

此外,互联网的使用在英语非母语人士增长速度超过以英语为母语的人。到2003年,本土英语网络用户的数量将下降到29%,据估计。

因此,一些研究人员说,早期的优势英语将下降。他们说英语会让一个特殊的角色在连接社区的本地语言是不同的,但在大约20年的时间,西班牙语,法语,阿拉伯语和汉语也已经在这个连接的作用。

如果这是真的,然后语以英语为母语的人更有可能去学习另一种语言,也成为双语甚至多语种。
