Subsequently⑱， “E＝mc2 ” was born.It showed how a small piece of mass could produce an unbelievable amount of energy.[4]Einstein then showed in his “theory of relativity” that not even time， mass or length are constant — they change according to our experience of them. 　　[3]本句中含有be doing ...when ...结构，意为“正在做……这 时……”。 　　[4]句中that引导宾语从句。 目 录 英语·选择性必修第四册（BSD） ⑮premier adj.最好的；最重要的 ⑯outspoken adj.坦率的，直言不讳的 ⑰rock vt.摇晃，摇动 ⑱subsequently adv.后来，随后 目 录 英语·选择性必修第四册（BSD） 　　In 1928， another important finding⑲ was made by biologist Alexander Fleming.[5]Before he went on holiday， Fleming left a dish of bacteria in his laboratory.When he came back， he noticed something strange.He double-checked and saw a blue mould in the dish around which the bacteria had been destroyed.[6]This blue mould was in fact the natural form of penicillin， which Fleming perceived⑳ could be used to kill bacteria.A few years later， penicillin was being mass-produced㉑ and helping to save the lives of millions.Fleming remained humble㉒ about the amazing outcome㉓ of his discovery.“Nature made penicillin，” he said， “I just found it.” 目 录 英语·选择性必修第四册（BSD） 　　During World War Ⅱ， when Fleming’s discovery was first helping to cure people， the US Navy was looking for ways of improving the accuracy㉔ of their missiles.The navy turned to Eckert， an engineer， and Mauchly， a physicist， to deal with the problem and produce a machine to do the job in a joint㉕ effort.Although they only finished after the war in 1946， it did not matter.This huge machine was the world’s first computer， but it was nothing like㉖ our computers today.It measured 100 feet long by over 10 feet high and weighed over 30，000 kilograms.[7]With 18，000 tubes， thousands of circuits㉗ and 6，000 switches㉘， it used so much energy that when it was turned on， the lights in the local town went out！ 目 录 英语·选择性必修第四册（BSD） 　　[5]句中Before引导时间状语从句。 　　[6]句中which引导非限制性定语从句。 　　[7]句中so ...that ...引导结果状语从句。 ⑲finding n.研究的结果；发现 ⑳perceive

proposed by two American scientists.With computers talking to one another， it would enable government leaders to communicate with each other.By the end of the 1960s， some mini- networks were established， but only a few computers could connect to them.In 1990， Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web， which enabled computers all over the world to communicate with each other.Nowadays， life without the Internet for most people is unimaginable㉚. 目 录 英语·选择性必修第四册（BSD） 　　These pioneers of the 20th century were all dedicated to㉛improving the quality㉜ of human life on Earth.Human life on this planet has been transformed into a “global village”， with all the different countries linked in the chain㉝ of common interests㉞.There is no doubt about it.[8]Without the breakthroughs㉟ of these pioneers in science and technology， whether lucky or planned， the world as we know it today would be a completely different place. 　　[8]句中Without引导含蓄虚拟条件句；whether lucky or planned 是状语从句的省略；as we know it today是as引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the world。 目 录 英语·选择性必修第四册（BSD） ㉙efficiently adv.有效率地，高效能地 ㉚unimaginable adj.难以想象的 ㉛be dedicated to致力于；献身于 ㉜quality n.质量 ㉝chain n.链条 ㉞common interests共同的利益 ㉟breakthrough n.突破；重大进展 目 录 英语·选择性必修第四册（BSD） 参考译文 　　如果必须在20世纪重大发现中选出最重要的一项，这可不是件 容易的事。在仅仅100年中，世界就完全变样了。医学、通信和交通 方面都有惊人的发现，更别提我们对世界和太空的认识了。医学上 的进步范围很广，从利用显微镜揭示病因，到施行手术，用捐赠的 器官做器官移植。移动电话的使用给通信业带来了改变，通信方式 从写信转变为发电子邮件和发送即时信息。我们开始坐飞机周游世 界，把人造卫星发射至轨道，同时，科学家们发现了如何分裂原 子，在此之前，原子被认为是宇宙中最小的物质微粒。 目 录 英语·选择性必修第四册（BSD） 　　尽管不太可能选出哪项发现是最重要的，但是挑选出20世纪的 几位先驱还是可能的。例如以下几位。 　　20世纪最杰出的科学家，阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦是其一。1905年夏 天，这个坦率的年轻人给他一岁的孩子晃动摇篮时，突然受到启 发。于是，“E＝mc2”诞生了。它证明了一小块物质可以产生巨大 的能量。爱因斯坦随后在他的“相对论”中指出，即使是时间、质 量或长度也不是恒定不变的，它们根据我们对它们的感知而变化。 目 录 英语·选择性必修第四册（BSD） 　　1928年，生物学家亚历山大·弗莱明作出了另一项重要发现。在 去度假之前，弗莱明在实验室里放了一个培养细菌的器皿。回来 时，他注意到器皿里有点儿奇怪。经过反复检查，他发现器皿里有 一种蓝色的霉菌，而霉菌周围的细菌已经被杀死了。这种蓝色的霉 菌实际上是自然状态的青霉素，弗莱明认为它可以用来杀死细菌。 数年后，青霉素开始大量生产，帮助挽救了数百万人的生命。弗莱 明对他这一惊人的发现态度谦虚，他说：“是大自然制造了青霉 素，我只是发现了它。” 目 录 英语·选择性必修第四册（BSD） 　　第二次世界大战期间，正当弗莱明的发现首次用来帮助治愈人 们时，美国海军正在寻找提高导弹精度的方法。海军求助于工程师 埃克特和物理学家莫克利，两人共同制造一台机器来完成这项工 作。尽管机器在1946年战争结束后才制造出来，但仍产生了巨大影 响。这台巨大的机器就是世界上第一台计算机，但是与今天的计算 机完全不同。它长100英尺，高10英尺，重30，000多公斤。它有 18，000个显像管，数千条电路和6，000个开关，耗电量异常巨大， 以至于当它启动的时候，当地所有的灯都熄灭了！ 目 录 英语·选择性必修第四册（BSD） 　　随着计算机的发展，人们期望能有效地完成更多的事情。冷战 期间，两位美国科学家提出建立一个计算机的“庞大网络”。计算 机能互换信息，可使政府领导人相互沟通。到20世纪60年代末，一 些小型网络已经建立起来，但只有少数计算机可以接入。1990年， 蒂姆·伯纳新·李发明了万维网，使世界各地的计算机能够相互通信。 如今，对大多数人来说，没有互联网的生活是难以想象的。 　　这些20世纪的先驱都致力于改善地球上人类的生活质量。不同 国家因共同利益而连接起来，使得这个星球上人类的生活已经转变 为“地球村”。毫无疑问，如果没有这些先驱取得的科技突破，无 论这些突破是偶然发现的还是计划之中的，我们今天所熟知的世界 将是一个完全不同的地方。 目 录 英语·选择性必修第四册（BSD） 文本透析·剖语篇 目 录 Step One： Pre-reading Can you name some great inventions or discoveries in the 20th century？
