新世纪研究生英语教程翻译 Unit 1 我静静地躺着，等待着。突然，窗外的生机引起了我的注意：昆虫在合鸣；邻居坐在阳台上，直到深夜，他们说话的声音有些模糊，那声音让我平静下来。我闻到了新割的青草的气息。还有一种说不清的声音--可能是树枝扫过隔壁店铺的屋顶吧。 Lying still, waiting, I suddenly notice the life outside the window. The bugs sing in chorus. Neighbors, sitting on their verandas until late, speak in hazy words with sanded edges that soothe me. I catch the scent of fresh grass clippings. Then I hear something I cant decode-perhaps a tree branch raking the shop roof next door. Unit 2 根据政府统计，美国现有一亿一千多万辆汽车，一千五百万商业用车或卡车。更多的人口也就意味着更多的汽车。到二十一世纪二十年代末，美国人口和汽车都将是今天的两倍。二十年后，个人平均收入也将是今天的二点五倍。如果把这增加的收入花在更多更大型的轿车、更宽大的房子上，花在增加其他商品的消费上，就必然导致资源枯竭和污染。 According to government statistics, in the United States, there are over l10 million cars and 15 million commercial vehicles or trucks.

A common idea is that human behavior and even our complex society are somehow “determined” by our genes. Socialists have always challenged this simplistic viewpoint, pointing out that humans long ago broke free of evolution. Unit 4 在2005年发生的一连串的灾害中，没有一个比得上飓风卡特里娜和雷塔带给美国人的巨大恐惧。面对被淹没的城市和冲毁的海岸线惨景，建筑师们的反应是：“我们能做点什么？”当务之急是给遭受飓风袭击的人们提供住所。 in the cascade of catastrophes occurring in 2005,none struck Americans more forcefully than hurricanes Katrina and Rita.In response to the images of drowned cities and blasted coastlines,architects thought out the country hav
