11、e 1What makes us so drawn to the ocean? Why are we willing to spend a lot of money, drive for hours, and plan our days carefully just to find time to get close to the ocean? The health benefits are great and breathing in the ocean air is bliss. But there must be something more to our passion for wat
12、er activity which prompt us to invest more time and energy. A recent article I read helped to explain these feelings that are often hard to put into words. Simply put, our brains really enjoy the water. Wallace J. Nichols is a marine biologist who wants to learn what happens to us when we are on, in
13、, or near the ocean. Specifically he wants to understand what on earth triggers our emotional reactions to the ocean. In brief, Nichols goal is not to impart to us the knowledge about ocean, but to find out exactly why we love the ocean so that we can use that as a tool to protect it through public

(Paras 1-3)The prelude: the author bought a house in LA in 2008.House price situation: home prices in Los Angeles are more than double those in other major cities.Reason analysis: the quality o

24、queness and the housing price boost that es with that climate.TranslationExercise 1Los Angeles, located in California, is a great place to live. Pleasing climate and high-quality life make the home prices here more than double those in other major cities. However, climate change poses tangible threa
25、ts and amenity havoc. Climate researchers predict that the temperature of LA will be 13 degrees F warmer on average in the future. Climate change will strip away much of the citys climate uniqueness. Therefore, home price declines and climate amenity premium vanishes (bad news for the real estate ow
26、ners). How can LA adapt to the climate change? On the one hand, LA should learn to adapt to the change by improving public service to reduce the harm to its residents. munity-based NGOs have stepped up to fill this void. On the other hand, its pressing to protect the environment to maintain the city
27、s climate amenity. Of course, the future of Los Angeles is closely interconnected with the global climate change.Unit 3Structure AnalysisDirections:Fill in the blanks with the information from the text.Part I Introduction: whales seem to stir up strong feelings (para 1)Anti-whalers: believe that wha
28、les have been in urgent need of protection since the middle of last centuryPro-whalers: present themselves as protectors of traditional culture, diets and the rights of indigenous peoplePart II The nasty situation of whaling (para 2-4)In theory: a global moratorium, proclaimed by the International W
29、haling mission (IWC), has been in force since 1986.In practice: whales are still killed in large numbers. Roughly half are killed by whalers from Japan, mostly off Antarctica.Diplomatic standoffs: The IWC has bee a battleground between the two pro-and anti-whaling camps and the bodys 88 members join
30、ed in the past decadehelping to make it deadlocked and dysfunctional.Physical stand-offs: In January there was a collision between a Japanese ship and a trimaran from the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. In February Australia threatened to take Japan to the International Court of Justice unless it
31、 stopped whaling off Antarctica. Part III The measure which can be taken to fight against the nastiness - A “peace plan was proposed and pro-whalers objections to the “peace plan (para 5-9)The content of the “peace plan: the moratorium would be lifted for a decade, but whalers would agree to a sharp
32、 reduction in their catch, stricter enforcement measures and a ban on all cross-border merce in whale products. The aim of the “peace plan: to buy time for countries to e up with a longer-term agreement, while reducing the number of whales that are killed.Pro-whalers objections to the “peace plan (p
33、ara 7-9)New Zealands foreign minister calls the proposed quota for Antarctic waters unrealistic and unacceptable.Japans fisheries minister deems the limit “too drastic and wants it raised. Japanese officials counter that the 1946 convention never anticipated a moratorium on all mercial whaling.(para
34、 9)Part IV The provisions under the IWC proposal and the attitudes of the pro-whalers and anti-whalers towards the IWC proposal. (para 10-11)Provisions: 1. Japan would halve the number of whales it kills off Antarctica, and face further cuts over the five years thereafter. 2.A South Atlantic sanctua
35、ry, barred to all whaling, would be rigorously enforced. 3. Countries that do not already hunt would not be allowed to start. 4. IWC monitors would be placed aboard every vessel to document the kill and take DNA samples. 5. Japan would be allowed to hunt 120 minke whales in its coastal waters as a s
36、op to local sentiment in four ports. Attitudes: Green activists and anti-whaling countries are calling the deal a victory for whaling nations. Pro-whalers certainly do not see things that way. Masayuki Komatsu believes the proposal may mark the beginning of the end for Japanese whaling.VocabularyExe

41、th foxhunting in Britain, all sides seem never to reach an agreement on whaling. Since 1986 the International Whaling mission (IWC) has imposed a moratorium on mercial whaling. Yet every Antarctic summer, Japan sends a whaling fleet south to catch hundreds of whales for “research. But whales are sti
42、ll killed in large numbers; in recent years the annual slaughter has reached almost 2,000. To avoid the extinction of whales, IWC proposed a “peace plan. According to the proposal, the moratorium would be lifted for a decade, but whalers have to agree to a sharp reduction in their catch. The conserv
43、ationists would definitely plain or criticize the resumption of mercial whaling. Even so, any promising deal would be far better than continued stand-off. Unit 4Structure AnalysisPart 1: A shift toward “Blue job fisheries is urgently needed. (Paras. 1-3)Fish numbers are no match for need of human be
44、ings for two reasons: 1. growing human appetite: About three billion people count on fish and other marine species as their primary source of protein.(Para. 2)2. the ultra-efficient fisheries: the mid 20thcentury industrial fishing operations have used ever-improving technology to fish farther, fast
45、er, and longer.(para.3)Part 2: Sustainability is the key concept for successful management of both fish stocks and fisheries jobs themselves. ( Paras. 4-8) How blue job fishery will do to keep sustainability: 1.use science-based stock management programs and only harvest sustainable levels of fish.
46、(Paras. 5-6) 2.Blue fishermen also use environmentally friendly methods and gear. (Paras.7-8)Part 3: Fishing problems and aquaculture. (Paras. 9-16)Why we have fishing problem:Politics e into it, economics e into it. And most of the time we overdo it .Global factors are also growing the problem.(Paras.10-12)Aquaculture, also known as fish farming, can help to fill the gap. (Paras 13-14) Aquaculture cannot take the place of our oceans, it is only plimentary to wild fisheries.(Paras.15-16)Part 4: What people should do. (Paras. 17-19)choosing s
