问答题“失落之城”马丘比丘坐落在秘鲁热带山地森林，直到1911年才被美国探险家海勒姆·宾厄姆发现。马丘比丘海拔2430米，为热带森林所包围。它可能是印加帝国全盛时期最辉煌的城市建筑，那巨大的城墙和梯田好像是在连绵的悬崖绝壁上自然形成的一样。古城矗立在安第斯山脉东边的斜坡上，环绕着亚马逊河上游的盆地。马丘比丘废墟是世界上最美最神秘的古代遗址之一。早在15世纪初期，印加人就在那里建起数百座石建筑，传说和神话表明马丘比丘曾是一个圣地。古城废墟有宫殿、洗浴室、寺庙、贮藏室和大约150间房子，皆保存完好。这些建筑均用山顶的灰色花岗岩雕筑而成，是建筑学和美学的奇迹。

问答题After World War 11 the glorification of an ever larger GNP formed the basis of a new materialism, which became a sacred obligation for all Japanese governments, businesses, and trade unions. Anyone who mentioned the undesirable by-products of rapid economic growth was treated as a heretic. Consequently everything possible was done to make conditions easy for the manufacturers. (1) Few dared question the wisdom of discharging untreated waste into the nearest water body or untreated smoke into the atmosphere. This silence was maintained by union leaders as well as most of the country's radicals; except for a few isolated voices, no one protested. (2)An insistence on treatment of the various effluents would have necessitated expenditures on treatment equipment that in turn would have given rise to higher operating costs. Obviously this would have meant higher prices for Japanese goods, and ultimately fewer sales and lower industrial growth and GNP. (3) The pursuit of nothing but economic growth is illustrated b v the response of the Japanese government to the American educational mission that visited Japan in 1947. After surveying Japan's educational program, the Americans suggested that the Japanese fill in their curriculum gap by creating departments in chemical and sanitary engineering. Immediately, chemical engineering departments were established in all the country's universities and technical institutes. In contrast, the recommendation to form sanitary engineering departments was more or tess ignored, because they could bring no profit. By 1960, only two second-rate universities, Kyoto and Hokkaido, were interested enough to open such departments. (4) The reluctance to divert funds from production to conservation is explanation enough for a certain degree of pollution but the situation was made worse by the type of technology the Japanese chose to adopt for their industrial expansion. For the most part, they simply copied American industrial methods. (5) This meant that methods originally designed for use in a country that stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific with lots of air-and water to use as sewage receptacles were adopted for an area a fraction of the size. Moreover the Japanese diet was niche more dependent on water as a source of fish and as an input in the irrigation of rice; consequently discharged wastes built up much more rapidly in the food chain.

问答题语言学家把英语里所有的单词，也就是英语的整个词汇叫做英语的“词库”(lexis或 lexicon)。英国语言学家威尔金斯(D．Wilkins)说过，“没有语法，人们可以表达的事物寥寥无几；而没有词汇，人们则无法表达任何事物。”学习英语词汇是学习英语的重要组成部分，而英语的词汇如此浩瀚，一个人想用一生的时间来记住所有的词汇也是不可能的。其实，一个人的词汇量总是有限的。据某位词典学家统计，莎士比亚大约掌握24 000个词，弥尔顿(Mil- ton)大约掌握16 000个词。对于英语中的两百多万单词来说，这些数字则十分渺小。

问答题各国文明的多样性，是人类社会的基本特征，也是推动世界文明进步的重要动力。当今世界拥有 60 亿人口，200 多个国家和地区，2500 多个民族，5000 多种语言。由于历史传统、宗教信仰、文化背景、社会制度、价值观念和发展程度的同，各国国家和地区才具有了各自鲜明的特征，整个人类文明也因此而交相辉映、多姿多彩、富有活力。我们应该尊重和维护各国文明的多样性，而不应人为歧视或贬低他国文明；应该鼓励各种文明在对话交流中相互借鉴、取长补短，而应相互隔绝和相互排斥；应该倡导各种文明在相互包容、求同存异中共同发展，而不应强求一律、强加于人。 随着经济全球化和新科技革命的发展，国家间的相互联系和相互依存愈益加深，但这并不意味着可以忽视和削弱国家主权的地位和作用。必须是经国际关系民主化。不尊重别国主权，以大欺小，以强凌弱，推行霸权主义和强权政治，实践证明是行不通的。

问答题中国悠久的历史、广袤的国土、与世界各国和海外文化的广泛接触，孕育了中餐烹饪的独特艺术。毋庸置疑，中国烹饪已名列世界顶尖菜系之林。 中国烹调所用的天然配料品种繁多，几无穷尽，烹饪方法亦层出不穷，不可悉数。这些无与伦比的中餐烹饪特点，足以说明了中餐馆以及中餐烹调之所以名扬海外的缘由。 作为世代相袭的传统，中国人就餐时围桌而坐，人人手里都有一碗主食，炒菜放在桌子中央，大家一起食用。 这一古老的风俗习惯反映了食物在中华文明史上的重要地位：占据餐桌中央的是炒菜而不是鲜花，晚餐的主要话题常常是食物。 菜肴的各种色彩和材料搭配，给人以美的享受，共食一碗菜的习俗有助于家庭成员之间的团结和友谊。 当然，在一些卫生意识较强的地方，人们在共食放在餐桌中央的菜肴时，必须使用“公筷”或“公用汤匙”，以免疾病传染。

问答题The comparable dates for the computer are harder to tie down, but the first big computer, based on vacuum valves, was built in 1946. The transistor—the first semicon ductor device—was invented at Belt Laboratories in 1948. The first patent for an integrated circuit was filed in 1959. Now, in 1999—50 years after the first one was built—around half of American households own a computer. The pace of introduction has been similar to that of the car.

问答题科学是关于自然的知识总体，它代表了人类的共同努力、洞察力、研究成果和智慧。 科学并不是什么新东西、在有文字记载的历史以前，当人们最初发现了他们周围反复出 现的各种关系时，就有了科学的开端。通过对这些关系的仔细观察，人们开始了解自然， 而由于自然的可靠性，人们还发现了他们能够作出预测，从而在某种程度上控制他们周围的 环境。 科学家是一群努力洞悉自然，在表面杂乱无序中寻求规律的人。他们具有一种特殊的 思考与分析能力，具有无限的耐心进行观察和收集数据。但是，并不能把一切科学发现都 归因于能力和耐心，科学发现常常与创造性的想象力紧密相关。的确，想象里的飞跃往往 是通向发现的第一步。另外，科学家也以其诚实而著称。他们非常重视诚实，主要是因为 诚实对他们至关重要。他们得出的每一个理论都要受到进一步的检验。每一个错误或谎言 必将被发现，因此，如果发现了与他们的想法相矛盾的证据，科学家不是隐瞒证据，而是 修改甚至放弃他们的想法。这样他们积累了极大量的知识，这些知识帮助我们更好地了 解自己及周围的世界。

问答题As researchers learn more about how children"s intelligence develops, they are increasingly surprised by the power of parents. The power of the school has been replaced by the home. To begin with, all the factors which are part of intelligence—the child"s understanding of language, learning patterns, curiosity—are established well before the child enters school at the age of six. Study after study has shown that even after school begins, children"s achievements have been far more influenced by parents than by teachers. This is particularly true about learning that is language-related. The school rather than the home is given credit for variations in achievement in subjects such as science. In view of their power, it"s sad to see so many parents not making the most of their child"s intelligence. Until recently, parents had been warned by educators who asked them not to educate their children. Many teachers now realize that children cannot be educated only at school and parents are being asked to contribute both before and after the child enters school. Parents have been particularly afraid to teach reading at home. Of course, children shouldn"t be pushed to read by their parents, but educators have discovered that reading is best taught individually—and the easiest place to do this is at home. Many four and five-year-olds who have been shown a few letters and taught their sounds will compose single words of their own with them even before they have been taught to read.

问答题Reading is not simply an intellectual pursuit but an emotional and spiritual one. It lights the candle in the hurricane lamp of self; that"s why it survives. There are book clubs and book Web sites and books on tape and book online. There are still millions of people who like the paper version, at least for now. And if that changes-well, what is a book, really? Is it its body, or its soul?
