10、One no-bake approach, called the shell core process, is similar in principle to the shell molding process. Like shell molding, shell coring produces a hard, smooth and accurate surface. Sand, containing a thermosetting resin, is blown into a heated corebox. After a brief curing period, any loose, uncured sand is dumped out. The resulting shell core is hollow. Thickness of the core depends on the curing time: the longer the cure, the thicker the shell. Because the core is cured in the corebox, driers used in the oven-baking process are unnecessary. For shell coremaking, the corebox must be heated to 400—500°F. Hence the corebox must be made of metal.

英语专业综合教程4课后翻译及句子解释

Unit1 1, There has been this long lull with nothing particular turning up! you are beginning to be anxious because there has been no progress of the war in such a long quiet period… 2,we must "...meet with Triumph and Disaster. And treat those two impostors just the same." We are sure to experience both Triumph and Disaster and we must treat them as the same thing taking different appearances because they are essentially interchangeable. 3,never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense Never give in unless we are convinced that it is honorable and sensible for us to do so. 4,Britain, other nations thought, had drawn a sponge across her slate. Britain, in other nations’ eyes, was completely wiped out/conquered. 5,we have only to persevere to conquer. … we have no choice but to hold on until victory comes. Unit2 1, The phrase "personal space" has a quaint, seventies ring to it The phrase “personal space” sounds old-fashioned and reminds one of the seventies…2, T-shirt weather can make proximity more alluring (or much, much less). … I have suspected that maybe the cause (of the space invasion) is the season: summer may either make people want to be closer to each other or more likely, to keep a distance between each other. 3, The logistics of it vary according to geography people in different regions are given different size of personal space. 4, individuals routinely commandeer booths and sets of facing seats meant for foursomes. …individuals, as usual, occupy the booths and seats which are desi gned for four people. 5,In the same way that the breeze from a butterfly's wings in Japan may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, I have decided to expand the contracting boundaries of personal space. Because the initial invasion of personal space can cause a chain of reactions, which may bring about a catastrophic consequence, as the breeze from a butterfly’s wings in Japan, if it initiates a chain of waves, may eventually produce a tidal wave in California, I have decided to enlarge the shrinking personal space. Unit3 1,Given the relatively few restrictions governing access and usage, it is the communications modal equivalent of international waters As there are relatively few restrictions for reaching and using the Internet, communications via the Internet are comparable to traveling through the international waterways. 2,But much less widely reported has been the notion that the Internet may be responsible for furthering the fragmentation of society by alienating its individual users A lot of people talk about the “new information age”, but not so many people are acquainted with the idea that the Internet separates people form each other and fragments society further as a result

综合教程第1册何兆熊主编英语专业综合英语1Dictationtapescript

综合教程第1册 Unit 1 I. Dictation Throughout history / the basic unit of almost every human society / has been the family. / Members of the family live together / under the same roof. / They share the economic burdens of life / as well as its joys. / The family head usually has considerable influence / in arranging marriages, / selecting careers / and determining all important moves and purchases / by any member of the family. / Particularly in conditions / where society or the state / does not give aid / and the responsibilities of the family are greater, / this large group / provides better protection / in times of economic or other emergency. Unit 2 Children learn almost nothing from television, / and the more they watch, / the less they remember. / They regard television purely as entertainment, / resent programs that make demands on them / and are surprised that anybody should take the medium seriously. / Far from being over-excited by programs, / they are mildly bored with the whole thing. / These are the main conclusions from a new study of children and television. / Its author confirms / that the modern child is a dedicated viewer. / The study suggests / that there is little point in the television company’s attempts / to isolate adult viewing in the later hours. / More than a third of the children regularly watched their programs after 9 . / All 11-year-olds had watched programs after midnight. Unit 3: I. Dictation Mother's Day is celebrated / on the second Sunday in May. / On this occasion, / Mother usually receives greeting cards and gifts / from her husband and children. / For most mothers, / the rarest and best gift / is a day of rest. / Often, / families honor Mother / by taking her out for dinner. / In some households / the husband and children / take over meal preparations / so that Mom can spend a whole day / away from the kitchen. / Serving her breakfast in bed / is another family ritual. / Later in the day, / parents may take their children / to visit their grandparents. / Flowers are an important part of the day. / Mothers are often given corsages / for the occasion, / particularly if they are elderly. Unit 4 Dictation In order to learn to be one’s true self, / it is necessary to obtain a wide and extensive knowledge / of what has been said and done in the world; / critically to inquire into it; / carefully to consider it; / clearly to analyze it; / and earnestly to carry it out. It matters not what you learn, / but when you once learn a thing, / you must never give it up / until you have thoroughly understood it. / It matters not what you try to think of, / but when you once try to think of a thing, / you must never give it up / until you have done it thoroughly and well. If another man succeeds by one effort, / you will use a hundred efforts. / If another man succeeds by ten efforts, / you will use a thousand. Unit 5: In order to learn to be one’s true self, / it is necessary to obtain a wide and extensive knowledge / of what has been said and done in the world; / critically to inquire into it; / carefully to consider it; / clearly to analyze it; / and earnestly to carry it out.

专业英语作业

学期作业题目:我的历史观 学院历史学院课程名称专业英语学号20090867 姓名许静指导教师孙艳萍 2010 年8 月20 日

我的历史观 1、我的历史观本身就是一小段历史,但是这段历史并非属于我自己,他主要是其他人的历史,这是因为,作为一名学者,其毕生的工作就是要将自己的那桶水填入那条浩瀚的知识海洋中去,而这条河就是靠无数桶诸如此类的水养育的。如果我个人的历史观赋予启发性,或确实易懂,我的这种历史观必然在它的起源,发展以及社会和个人背景来呈现。 2、人类思想凝视宇宙的视角多种多样,为什么我是一名历史学家而不是哲学家或者是物理学家?同样的原因可以用来解释为什么我喝茶或咖啡不加糖。两种习惯由我母亲的影响下在我年少不更的孩童时代已经形成了。因为我母亲在我之前就是一名历史学家,所以我是一名历史学家,然而同时我一时是我与母亲不属于同样的学派,为什么我没有完全追随我的母亲呢? 3、首先,我和我母亲不是一代人。因此当1914年历史将我们这一代人的脖子掐住之时,我的思想尚未僵固定型。其次由于与母亲所受的教育相比,我所受的教育更为保守。我母亲属于英国在现代西方是英国第一代接受大学教育的妇女。她在西方现代史方面是当代新教育的第一代人。以英国民族为主要的指导方针。在那个时期她的儿子进入了老式英国公立学校开始受教育,不管在那里还是在伦敦和牛津,几乎完全是希腊拉丁古典学。 4对于任何一位将要从事历史研究的人来说----特别是对于出生在这些时代的人来说,在我看来,古典教育能使人受益匪浅,作为思想训练的场所,希腊罗马世界的历史有着它显著的优点的。首先,希腊罗马史不以清晰地呈现在我们脑海里,而且我们不以从整体上来看待,因为这段历史已经终结了。与之相对比的是我们自己西方世界的历史,是我们仍然没有终结的戏剧,我们不知道喜剧的的结局。作为我们的临时演员在她那拥挤骚动的舞台上,我们甚至不能从自己的角度观看到当前的全貌。 5其次,希腊罗马这个领域没有大量的信息所阻碍或遮挡。因此我们能够看到这片森林----这是因为从希腊罗马社会消亡到我们这个社会出现之前的这一段空档期里,树木是出奇的稀疏,另外现存的便于管理的大量资料没有被地方性公国的公文在数量上没有超过西方世界的这样的资料。在前原子弹时代的数个世纪里,已成吨的大量现存的研究希腊罗马历史的资料不仅在数量上便于管理而且在质量上也是精选的。这些材料在性质上也是十分均衡的。在这里,雕像、诗歌和哲学著作的价值要远远高于哪些法律文书和条约文本。这也在受过希腊罗马史教育的历史学家心中滋生出一种意识;这是由于艺术家和文学家的作品比商人、士兵、政治家的事迹要更能经受住时间的考验,诗人和哲学家要胜过历史学家;然而先知家和圣人又比前面所有人更胜一筹。借助荷马和修昔底德的美妙词句,阿伽门农和伯里克利的灵魂依然出没于这个世界。虽然说荷马和修昔底德的著作如今已不再有人阅读,但可以有把握的语言对我们来说几乎难以置信的久远的那个年代人的心目中,基督,佛陀和苏格拉底必将依旧栩栩如生。 6、第三,或许希腊罗马历史最大的优点在于它的事业是全球性的而不是地方性的,可能雅典使斯巴达和罗马的萨莫奈黯然失色,然而雅典在其鼎盛时期成为全希腊的楷模。同时罗马在她的晚期,希腊罗马世界进入了单一的帝国。纵观希腊罗马史,统一都是主旋律。当我一直听这部伟大的交响乐时,我就不再害怕被本国的地方史那单一、古怪的音乐所迷惑。从前母亲成宿的分期给我讲述本国史时,我母亲那一代人教授历史的助教和教师不仅在英国本土而且在数个西方国家他们都大力提倡对民族史的研究。并错误地认为这与他们国民的生活更为密切。因此在某种意义上来说与其它地方史和时代历史相比本国的地方史是更易被他们所了解的历史。尽管事实上耶稣的巴勒斯坦和柏拉图的希腊比阿尔弗烈德大帝或者伊莉莎白女王时期的英国,维多利亚时代的英国人的生活影响更为强大。 7、然而尽管这样英国历史特殊推崇----这与尊者彼得英国历史之父的精神大相径庭,
