1、-学术英语写作P73-76练习答案-第 4 页 Original Source (A totalitarian) societycan never permit either the truthful recording of facts, or the emotional sincerity, that literary creation demands.Totalitarianism demands the continuous alteration of the past, and in the long runa disbelief in the very existence of o
2、bjective truth. (written by George Orwell)Version C Orwell believed that totalitarian societies must suppress literature and free expression because they cannot survive the truth, and thus they claim it does not exist.(1) Deep waters that were once off limits to oil explores are suddenly accessible,
3、 partly because of advances in floating rigs. Deep water exploring oil had once been impossible before, but now it becomes practicable in part because the floating rigs have developed much. (2) A liver cell has a different job from a blood cell and proteins to match.肝细胞与血液细胞分工不同，而且与之匹配的蛋白质也不同。A live
4、r cell plays a different role compared with a blood cell and the proteins inside a liver cell are different from those inside a blood cell.(3) This suggests that there is a great deal of plasticity in the growing embryo that still allows it to develop successfully even when a significant proportion
5、of its genes are malfunctioning. 这表明胚胎在生长发育过程中有较大的可塑性，即使大部分基因发生突变，仍能成功发育。It can be concluded from the cloning studies that the growing embryo bears a lot of plasticity which enables it to develop successfully even under the condition that there are a great proportion of malfunctioning genes.III. Dir
6、ections: Write a paraphrase of each of the following passages. Try not to look back at the original passage.(1). The Antarctic is the vast source of cold on our planet, just as the sun is the source of our heat, and it exerts tremendous control on our climate, Jacques Cousteau told the camera. The c
7、old ocean water around Antarctica flows north to mix with warmer water from the tropics, and its upwellings help to cool both the surface water and our atmosphere. Yet the fragility of this regulating system is now threatened by human activity. From Captain Cousteau, Audubon (May 1990):17.(1).Accord
8、ing to Jacques Cousteau, the activity of people in Antarctica is jeopardizing a delicate natural mechanism that controls the earths climate. He fears that human activity could interfere with the balance between the sun, the source of the earths heat, and the important source of cold from Antarctic w
9、aters that flow north and cool the oceans and atmosphere (Captain Cousteau 17).(2). The twenties were the years when drinking was against the law, and the law was a bad joke because everyone knew of a local bar where liquor could be had. They were the years when organized crime ruled the cities, and
10、 the police seemed powerless to do anything against it. Classical music was forgotten while jazz spread throughout the land, and men like Bix Beiderbecke, Louis Armstrong, and Count Basie became the heroes of the young. The flapper was born in the twenties, and with her bobbed hair and short skirts,
11、 she symbolized, perhaps more than anyone or anything else, Americas break with the past. From Kathleen Yancey, English 102 Supplemental Guide (1989): 25.(2). During the twenties lawlessness and social nonconformity prevailed. In cities organized crime flourished without police interference, and in
12、spite of nationwide prohibition of liquor sales, anyone who wished to buy a drink knew where to get one. Musicians like Louis Armstrong become favorites, particularly among young people, as many turned away from highly respectable classical music to jazz. One of the best examples of the anti-traditi
13、onal trend was the proliferation of young flappers, women who rebelled against custom by cutting off their hair and shortening their skirts (Yancey 25).(3) Of the more than 1000 bicycling deaths each year, three-fourths are caused by head injuries. Half of those killed are school-age children. One s
14、tudy concluded that wearing a bike helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85 percent. In an accident, a bike helmet absorbs the shock and cushions the head. From Bike Helmets: Unused Lifesavers, Consumer Reports (May 1990): 348.(3). The use of a helmet is the key to reducing bicycling fataliti
15、es, which are due to head injuries 75% of the time. By cushioning the head upon impact, a helmet can reduce accidental injury by as much as 85%, saving the lives of hundreds of victims annually, half of whom are school children (Bike Helmets 348).(4). Matisse is the best painter ever at putting the
16、viewer at the scene. Hes the most realistic of all modern artists, if you admit the feel of the breeze as necessary to a landscape and the smell of oranges as essential to a still life. The Casbah Gate depicts the well-known gateway Bab el Aassa, which pierces the southern wall of the city near the
17、sultans palace. With scrubby coats of ivory, aqua, blue, and rose delicately fenced by the liveliest gray outline in art history, Matisse gets the essence of a Tangier afternoon, including the subtle presence of the bowaab, the sentry who sits and surveys those who pass through the gate. (4). Matiss
18、e paintings are remarkable in giving the viewer the distinct sensory impressions of one experiencing the scene first hand. For instance, The Casbah Gate takes one to the walled city of Tangier and the Bab el Aassa gateway near the Sultans palace, where one can imagine standing on an afternoon, absor
19、bing the splash of colors and the fine outlines. Even the sentry, the bowaab vaguely eyeing those who come and go through the gate, blends into the scene as though real (Plagens 50).From Peter Plagens, Bright Lights. Newsweek (26 March 1990): 50.(5). While the Sears Tower is arguably the greatest ac
20、hievement in skyscraper engineering so far, its unlikely that architects and engineers have abandoned the quest for the worlds tallest building. The question is: Just how high can a building go? Structural engineer William LeMessurier has designed a skyscraper nearly one-half mile high, twice as tal
21、l as the Sears Tower. And architect Robert Sobel claims that existing technology could produce a 500-story building. From Ron Bachman, Reaching for the Sky. Dial (May 1990): 15. (5). How much higher skyscrapers of the future will rise than the present world marvel, the Sears Tower, is unknown. However, the design of one twice as tall is already on the boards, and an architect, Robert Sobel, thinks we currently have sufficient know-how to build a skyscraper with over 500 stories (Bachman 15).
