1、lESP is a variation of English that is learnd/taught generally for a clearly utilitarian purpose.It is unfair for English learners majoring in sciences to acquire English through classic literature works which is the traditional way of learning language. ESP, as part of LSP, is more suitable for the

These proteins can perform millions of different functions, a versality which is largely responsible for the phenomenon called “llife”.lsome of the most commonly used patterns in EST1.

10、n 1975. Even in constant dollars, and despite the reductions in R&D program contained in the Federal 1980 and 1981 budgets, U.S. R&D spending in 1981 is expected to follow the growth trend of the past five years, l the choronological description;when R&D funding grew at an average annual rate of bet
11、ter than 3%. That growth resulted in large part from increased emphasis on searching for means to resolv energe and environmental problems and a resurgence of defense R&D activity. Between 1975 and 1978, the last year for which survey data are availabe, energy accounted for one third of the R&D spen

Program X will be easy to implement, whereas program Y would entail a number
16、of complications. 2. Model X is reliable and efficient, whereas model Y is unreliable and relatively inefficient. l listing;Principles of listing 1. All items in a list should be cast in parallel grammatical form; 2. If the items in a list are not equally important, they should be arranged in descen
17、ding order of importance. llisting;In addition to goal and nuclear energy, a wide variety of other power sources are also frequently discussed in the news and in scientific literature; unfortunately, most are not yet for practical use. Geothermal energy is one of the most practical of proposed new s
18、ources. It is already in use in Italy, Iceland, and Northern California but is not yet meeting all expectations for it. llisting;Solar energy seems an elegant idea because it is inexhaustible and adds no net heat or carbon dioxide to the global environment. Yet present methods of exploiting it make
19、solar energy hopelessly inadequate as a major power source in the next few decades. Sophisticated windmills to generate electricity are under study by some. Biomass conversion is also getting under way. llisting;Some of these sources of energy, which we now generally regard as esoteric, may well pro
