新世纪研究生公共英语阅读A英语作文及课文缩写
2、What the Internet cannot doPart I You are required to write 100-150 words to summarize the textPart II You are required to write 100-150 words about two other things that the Internet cannot doPart I: A whole industry of cyber gurus has enthralled audiences with exuberant claims that the Internet will prevent wars, reduce pollution, and combat various forms of inequality. Was it true ?Although the Internet undeniably fosters communications, it will not put an end to war, since wars are by no means caused simply by the failure of different peoples to understand each other adequately. Furthermore, the internet can help to reduce energy consumption and pollution only if people's online activities genuinely displaced real-world activities.Even inequality maybe reduced thanks to the internet in some way, but the gap between rich and poor is widening. The true reason is that the poor lack the skills to exploit the internet effectively. Therefore, it would make more sense to aim for universal literacy than universal Internet access.Even when everyone on the planet has been connected to the internet, there will still be wars, pollution, and inequality. If human nature seems to remain stubbornly unchanged; despite the claims of the techno-prophets, humanity cannot simply invent away its failings.Part II The Internet seems to make the world smaller. We can make friends with anybody and deal with things through it at home. However, if we stay at home all day with the internet, we would lack social connections, leading to either increased familial conflicts or social isolation and personal and emotional isolation. Then will produce more social problems. Therefore, face-to-face interaction will not be replaced.The Internet gives us more information. It has had a significant impact on the world of business. In today's society, there are more and more hackers, spam to disturb the normal order in our life. That makes us get the wrong information and leads to a great loss . Information is not all safe and effective on the internet.3、DesertPart One Summarize the textPart Two Desertification: Causes and Measures1.There is more to deserts than sun and sand. All deserts are dry and deserts winds are usuallydry. It is difficult for life to survive there owing to extreme changes in temperature and very low rainfall. However, some plants, animals and people have developed strategies for survival in the desert.Some plants die as the desert dries out again, leaving their seeds for the next rains. Other plants store water in their leaves, stems or roots. Many have small waxy leaves and fewer pores throughwhich they lose water. All desert animals survive on little water. Most animals shelter from the day time heat in holes or burrows and only emerge in the cool evening or at dawn.Smaller mammals often have large ears to lose heat. Reptiles venturing out in daytime try to avoid touching the hot sand. Over thousands of years, people have learnt how to survive in deserts from older people. On the edges of the desert, nomadic peoples graze flocks of sheep and goats and move constantly to fresher pastures. Oases form around wells or springs on which are settlements and sometimes farms. Deserts are spreading.Throughout the world, governments and aid agencies try to prevent desertification.2.T oday, deserts are spreading and getting larger. It is generally accepted that desertification isbecoming an alarming issue.What causes desertification? Considering natural factors, the soil becomes exposed and is easily eroded. Drought and high winds probably aggravate it. As for human factors, overgrazing plays a critical role. In addition, indiscriminate deforestation may turn forests into desert, which results in a decline of land to resist against wind and sand.Desertification is such a urgent problem that we must take some measures to prevent it from happening. Firstly, people should return more farmlands to forests and grassland. Then, governments and aid agencies should devise some projects and implement them to help local people. Last but not least, we need to raise the public's awareness of protecting the environment and building ecological society.四Fatigue（1+2）Part I Causes of fatigue and the way to combat them (summary of the text)Part II My way to combat fatigue1.Nowadays, fatigue is one of the most common complaints brought to doctors, friends, andrelatives. The causes of modern-day fatigue are diverse.There are three main categories of fatigue. The first is physical. This is the well-known result of overworking your muscles to the point where metabolic waste products accumulate in your blood and sap your strength.The cure is simple and fast: You rest, giving your body a chance to get rid of accumulated wastes and restore muscle fuel. The second is pathological.Here fatigue is warning sign or consequence of some underlying physical disorder. It not be overlooked. We should have a thorough physical checkup and a good attitude about the disease. The last, emotional problems and conflicts, especially depression and anxiety, are by far the most common causes of prolonged fatigue. We should try to avoid it and try our best to find out the reasons and solutions. We should speak out and expressed openly to avoid depression.2There is a great deal we can do to deal with fatigue. The simplest way for me is to eat a properbreakfast, low in sugar and fairly high in protein, which will provide peak energy in the morning. You might try regular conditioning exercises help you to resist fatigue by increasing your body's ability tohandle more of a work load. But don't over do it. Otherwise, get to bed earlier and don't put too much pressure to yourself and learn to say no to additional requests. Relaxing yourself and try taking breaks to refresh yourself are often prescribed as an effective cure for fatigue.五Bringing up childrenPart I Summarize the textPart II Comment on the idea which impresses you the most1.B ringing up children Upbringing and education are interdependent.Upbringing is normallyused to refer to the treatment and training of the child within the home. The ideals and practices of child rearing vary from culture to culture. Early upbringing in the home is naturally affected by the cultural pattern of the community and by the parents' capabilities and their aims and depends not only on upbringing and education but also on the innate abilities of the child. Parents seek guidance with child's problems by using general information or by referring to books based on scientific knowledge and comparing notes with friends and relatives.All parents have to solve the problems of freedom and discipline.Learning together is fruitful source of relationship between children and parents. As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching.六How service experiences affect studentsPart I Summarize the textpart II What will benefit you the most in the future? And how to achieve it in college?1.During college, service participants exhibit greater increases in social self-confidence and leadership ability than do non participants. What exactly can higher education do to promote citizenship development among students, and at the same time address the myriad problems that continue to plague society? Maybe, service learning is a simple but extremely powerful pedagogical tool. Properly designed service learning courses relate the community service experience to the course material. It not only enriches traditional course content but also improves the quality of the service being performed by giving it an intellectual underpinning. The effects of service are the strongest in civic responsibility. The longitudinal analyses reveal significant positive effects on academic development and life skills. Finally, during college, service participants exhibit greater increases in social self-confidence and leadership ability than do non-participants.2.In my opinion, service participation is very beneficial to my development in the future. Serviceparticipation will reveal significant positive effects in different areas, such as leadership opportunities,preparation for future career. I will relate the community service experiences to the traditional course content and to test abstract theory in the real world. During college, I will choose to be the volunteers, take part-time jobs or take part in other practical activities alike. Moreover, in service learning, I will apply my knowledge to solution to practical problems. Finally, I will try my best to balance relationship between service learning and study.七Supporting science要求：Summarize the textThe twilight of the 20th century is an age of enormous technological change. Science is the raw material that applied research and engineering refine into their products. Science changes the way we live, and the way we look at the world. But sadly, basic science is no longer fashionable.At present, while older companies cut back on research, younger companies, born of the current technological revolution, simply ignore it. As for government, science has not been recognized as the wellspring of technology miracle, and as a consequence support is cut.There is no useless research. Like any exploratory process , scientific research is an uncertain undertaking, but can be tackled as a group. Given a sufficiently large portfolio of the research project and enough time to bring them to fruition. Many discoveries reach their full potential. Government and tech companies should realize that supporting science makes money and brings tangible nonmonetary benefits.It is clear that if we all shirk our support for science. We jeopardize not only our legacy of scientific achievement, but also the economic prosperity of the near future. We should consider the longer time scales and spend more on science.八How trees are killing our riversPart I Summarize the textPart II Offer two or three suggestions on environmental protection1.I n the past decade, acid rain has caused a drop in water quality in almost 60 miles of Welshrivers and some tributary streams. Most of the streams flow through plantations of conifer trees. Now the effect of shade of the dark, densely planted conifer crops is altering water temperatures, causing a considerable decline in the development of many invertebrates and fish, and other groups of animals.An assessment of the impact of conifer plantations on stream water temperatures has been made by doctors Weatherley and Ormerod. They studied year-round temperature variations in six streams. All three conifer-forested streams were supported only by a few varieties of invertebrates.Acidification is the cause. They found the substantial changes water temperatures caused by the planting of conifers. Trees shading out both direct and indirect sunlight. They used published biological models to simulate the impact on invertebrate and fish development. According to these simulations,invertebrate and fish developed faster in a moorland stream than in a forested stream. The modeling suggests that temperature changes brought about by putting densely conifer plantations close to streams may have important consequences for stream life.2.As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse.Not only does it affectour lives and health, it also has a bad effect on our future life. What can we do for our environment?Firstly, we should save water. Water is the source of life. We can't live without water. Not only should we protect drinking-water and stop polluting it, but also make full use of it. Secondly, we should use cloth bags or baskets instead of plastic bags when we go shopping. The plastic bags can't decompose in a short time and it's bad for our environment. We should try our best to reduce pollution and waste.In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. I believe we can make the world a better place to live in.十Building body partsPart I Summarize the textPart II Write something about the significance of replacement body parts.Part I Scientists are finding ways to help you grow a body part of your own. If scientists could only figure out how to give the stem cells just the right kick in just the right direction, each could become a liver, a heart, a brain or a bone. When the discovery was announced, doctors all over the world looked forward to a new era of medicine, but they also saw obstacles.But they won't become pessimistic. By making clever use of ordinary cells scientists have found out the suitable ways to "grow your own " organs of each part objectively.Scientists took some of the victim's bone cells, grew them in the lab and then injected them into a piece of coral fashioned into the shape of the missing digit. Coral's got lots of interconnected channels for the bone cells to grow in. It also degrades as bone replaces it. Then the patch was implanted back on the thumb, the victim gets most of his function back.Furthermore, scientists have grown human-shaped fingers on the back of a mouse, demonstrating that different cell types can grow together.Blood vessels present a special challenge: they must be strong yet flexible enough to expand and contract with each heartbeat. But now the vessels have worked well in animal tests. Meanwhile, the artificial bladders and livers began to function like the real thing in animals tests.One drawback with all these techniques is that it takes time. Although using patient's own cells could sidestep the rejection problem, time is a luxury. Many patients, particularly heart patients, can't afford. So the realization of using these ways to "grow your own " organs is really the Holy Grail.Part II Write something about the significance of replacement body parts.Some people are born with some incomplete organs, also some people in the accidents such as a car accident, illness and lose a certain organ. Then people's life was spent in pain. However, with the development of science and technology, growing a body part of your own brings hope to the patientswith incomplete organs. In the future, "grow your own " organs will without organ-donor shortages or the tissue-rejection problems that bedevil transplant patients.In my opinion, replacement body parts can make people more healthy. It can even extend the life of the people. Replacement body parts has great significance. The results are promising but it need long-term efforts.。

这种判断是错误的，其后果可能是灾难性的。
就算许多选民投一位候选人的票完全是出于政治原因，但本不该当选的人，如果他有整洁清秀的形象，就会使他在势均力敌的选举中占有优势。
我们常常根据一个人的表达能力而做出轻率的判断。

《新世纪研究生公共英语教材阅读A》课文Unit 3 Ocean of SandFrom The Guardian1. There is more deserts than sun and sand。
On these two pages you can find out how plants，animals and people manage to survive in these apparently barren places。
2. All deserts are dry。
The hot，sandy places we think of when we talk about deserts are subtropical deserts。
They are found near the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn where the warm air which rises at the Equator sinks down again, giving a climate of clear skies and very low rainfall. The Sahara is almost one-third the size of Africa, and is nearly as big as the U. S. A. , the fourth largest country. It was not always a desert. Over millions of years it has been convered in ice, sea，forests and grasslands.3. Desert winds are usually dry. Some deserts are in “rain shadow” areas where the winds have lost what moisture they had crossing high ground。
