Section Ⅰ Listening and Speaking & Reading and Thinking(Ⅰ)
FROM PROBLEMS TO SOLUTIONS
Economic development is necessary if we want to improve society. There comes a time when the old must give way to the new, and it is not possible to preserve everything from our past as we move towards the future. ①Finding and keeping the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be a big challenge. ②
[①这是一个由and连接的并列复合句。在第一个分句中when引导定语从句,修饰先行词a time,且when在从句中作时间状语;在第二个分句中含有句型it is possible to do sth.,意为“做某事是可能的”,it作形式主语,动词不定式短语to do sth.为真正的主语。
②这是一个简单句。Finding and keeping...为动名词短语,在句中作主语。]
Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods,produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt's cultural heritage. ③ After listening to the scientists who had studied the problem, and citizens who lived near the dam, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959. ④
[③这是一个主从复合句。关系代词that引导定语从句,修饰先行词cultural relics。
④在含after的介词短语中含有两个who引导的定语从句,分别修饰先行词scientists和citizens。]
A committee was established to limit damage to the Egyptian buildings and prevent the loss of cultural relics. The group asked for contributions from different departments and raised funds within the international community. Experts investigated the issue,conducted several tests, and then made a proposal for how the buildings could be saved. ⑤Finally,a document was signed, and the work began in 1960.
[⑤how引导的从句作介词for的宾语。]
The project brought together governments and environmentalists from around the world. Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back together again in a place where they were safe from the water. ⑥In 1961, German engineers moved the first temple. Over the next 20 years, thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and countless cultural relics. Fifty countries donated nearly $80 million to the project.
[⑥这是一个主从复合句。主句是含有并列谓语的简单句,where引导定语从句,修饰先行词place。]
When the project ended in 1980, it was considered a great success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future that did not run over the relics of the past, but they had also learnt that it was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow. ⑦
[⑦这是一个由not only...but also...连接的并列复合句。not only置于句首,第一个分句用了部分倒装;第二个分句中that引导宾语从句,从句使用了It is possible for...to do...句型,意为“……做……是可能的”。]
The spirit of the Aswan Dam project is still alive today. Perhaps the best example is shown by UNESCO,which runs a programme that prevents world cultural heritage sites around the world from disappearing. ⑧ If a problem seems too difficult for a single nation, the global community can sometimes provide a solution.
[⑧这是一个主从复合句。which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词UNESCO,which在从句中作主语;that引导的限制性定语从句,修饰先行词a programme,that在从句中作主语。]
从问题到解决方案
如果我们想要改善社会,经济发展是必要的。新旧更替的时代已经到来,在走向未来的过程中,我们不可能将过去的一切都保存下来。在进步和文化遗址的保护之间找到并保持适当的平衡是一个巨大的挑战。
然而,大的挑战有时会导致伟大的解决方案产生。20世纪50年代,埃及政府想要在尼罗河上修建一座新水坝,以控制洪水、发电和向该地区更多的农民供水。但这项提议引发了抗议。大坝的水很可能会破坏一些寺庙并毁坏文物,这些文物是埃及文化遗产中的重要的一部分。在听取了研究这个问题的科学家和住在大坝附近的居民的意见后,政府于1959年向联合国求助。
为了限制对埃及建筑的破坏和防止文物损失成立了一个委员会。该委员会要求不同部门捐款,并在国际社会筹集资金。专家们对这个问题进行了调查,进行了几次测试,然后就如何拯救这些建筑提出了建议。最后,签署了一份文件,这项工作于1960年开始。
该项目汇集了来自世界各地的政府和环保主义者。寺庙和其他文化遗址被一块一块地拆下来,然后再搬到一个远离水的地方被重新组合起来。1961年,德国工程师移走了第一座寺庙。在接下来的20年里,数千名工程师和工人拯救了22座寺庙和无数的文物。50个国家向该项目捐赠了近8000万美元。
当这个项目在1980年结束时,它被认为是一个巨大的成功。这些国家不仅找到了一条不以牺牲古迹为代价的未来发展之路,而且明白了多个国家合作创造美好未来的可能性。
阿斯旺大坝项目的精神在今天仍然存在。联合国教科文组织(UNESCO)也许是最好的例子,该组织运行了一项计划,防止世界各地的世界文化遗产遗址消失。如果一个问题对一个国家来说似乎太难.全球社区有时可以提供一个解决办法。
