第三册!!! Lesson 17
The longest suspension
bridge in the world
世界上最长的吊桥
Listen to the tape then answer the question below
听录音,然后回答以下问题。
How is the bridge supported
Verrazano, an Italian about whom little is known, sailed into New York Harbour in 1524 and named it Angouleme He described it as 'a very agreeable situation located within two small hills in the midst of which flowed a great river' Though Verrazano is by no means considered to be a great explorer, his name will probably remain immortal, for on November 21st, 1964, the longest suspension bridge in the world was named after him
The Verrazano Bridge, which was designed by Othmar Ammann, joins Brooklyn to Staten Island It has a span of 4,260 feet The bridge is so long that the shape of the earth had to be taken into account by its designer Two great towers support four huge cables The towers are built on immense underwater platforms make of steel and concrete The platforms extend to a depth of over 100 feet under the sea These alone took sixteen months to build Above the surface of the water, the towers rise to a height of nearly 700 feet They support the cables from which the bridge has been suspended Each of the four cables contains 26,108 lengths of wire It has been estimated that if the bridge were packed with cars, it would still only be carrying a third of its total capacity However, size and strength are not the only important things about this bridge Despite its immensity, it is both simple and elegant, fulfilling its designer's dream to create 'an enormous object drawn as faintly as possible'

参考译文
1524年,一位鲜为人知的意大利人维拉萨诺驾船驶进纽约港,并将该港名为安古拉姆。他对该港作了这样的描述:“地理位置十分适宜,位于两座小山的中间,一条大河从中间流过”。虽然维拉萨诺绝对算不上一个伟大的探险家,但他的名字将流芳百世,因为1964年11月21日建成的一座世界上最长的吊桥是以他的名字命名。
维拉萨诺大桥由奥斯马阿曼设计,连结着布鲁克林与斯塔顿岛,桥长4,260英尺。由于桥身太长,设计者不得不考虑了地表的形状。两座巨塔支撑着4根粗大的钢缆。塔身建在巨大的水下钢盘混凝土平台上。平台深入海底100英尺。仅这两座塔就花了16个月才建成。塔身高出水面将近700英尺。高塔支撑着钢缆,而钢缆又悬吊着大桥,4根钢缆中的每根由26,108股钢绳组成。据估计,若桥上摆满了汽车,也只不过是桥的总承载力的1/3。然而,这座桥重要特点不仅是它的规模与强度。尽管此桥很大,但它的结构简单,造型优美,实现了设计者企图创造一个“尽量用细线条勾画出一个庞然大物”的梦想。
第四册!!! Lesson 17
A man-made disease
人为的疾病
First listen and then answer the following question
听录音,然后回答以下问题。
What factor helped to spread the disease of myxomatosis
In the early days of the settlement of Australia, enterprising settlers unwisely introduced the European rabbit This rabbit had no natural enemies in the Antipodes, so that it multiplied with that promiscuous abandon characteristic of rabbits It overran a whole continent It caused devastation by burrowing and by devouring the herbage which might have maintained millions of sheep and cattle Scientists discovered that this particular variety of rabbit (and apparently no other animal) was susceptible to a fatal virus disease, myxomatosis By infecting animals and letting them loose in the burrows, local epidemics of this disease could be created Later it was found that there was a type of mosquito which acted as the carrier of this disease and passed it on to the rabbits So while the rest of the world was trying to get rid of mosquitoes, Australia was encouraging this one It effectively spread the disease all over the continent and drastically reduced the rabbit population It later became apparent that rabbits were developing a degree of resistance to this disease, so that the rabbit population was unlikely to be completely exterminated There were hopes, however, that the problem of the rabbit would become manageable
Ironically, Europe, which had bequeathed the rabbit as a pest to Australia, acquired this man-made disease as a pestilence A French physician decided to get rid of the wild rabbits on his own estate and introduced myxomatosis It did not, however, remain within the confines of his estate It spread through France, Where wild rabbits are not generally regarded as a pest but as sport and a useful food supply, and it spread to Britain where wild rabbits are regarded as a pest but where domesticated rabbits, equally susceptible to the disease, are the basis of a profitable fur industry The question became one of whether Man could control the disease he had invented

参考译文
在澳大利亚移民初期,一些有创业精神的移民不明智地把欧洲兔子引进了澳大利亚。这种兔子在澳大利亚及新西兰没有天敌,因此便以兔子所特有的杂乱交配迅猛繁殖起来。整个澳洲兔子成灾。它们在地下打洞,吃掉本可以饲养数百万头牛羊的牧草,给澳洲大陆造成了毁灭性的破坏。科学家们发现,这种特殊品种的兔子(显然不包括别的动物)易患一种叫“多发性粘液瘤”的致命毒性疾病。通过让染上此病的动物在洞内乱跑,就可以使这种疾病在一个地区蔓延起来。后来又发现,有一种蚊子是传播这种疾病的媒介,能把此病传染给兔子。因此,世界上其他地方在设法消灭蚊子的时候,澳大利亚却在促使这种蚊子大量繁殖。蚊子把这种疾病扩散到整个澳洲大陆,效果甚佳,结果兔子的数目在为减少。后来,明显看出,兔子对这种疾病已产生了一定程度的免疫力,所以兔子不可能被完全消灭。但是,已有希望解决兔子所带来的问题。
具有讽刺意味的是,欧洲把这种兔子作为有害动物传给澳洲,而欧洲自己却染上了这种人为的瘟疫般的疾病。一位法国内科医生决定除掉自己庄园内的野兔子,于是引进了这种多发性粘液瘤疾病。然而,这种疾病并未被局限在他的庄园内,结果在整个法国蔓延开来。野兔在法国一般不被当作有害动物,而被视为打猎取乐的玩物和有用的食物来源。这种疾病又蔓延到了英国。在英国,野兔被当作有害的动物,可是家兔是赚钱的毛皮工业的基础,然而家兔同样易感染这种疾病。现在的问题是,人类能否控制住这种人为的疾病。
