1. Planetary scientists are not the only ones interested in the Moon.. Because it lacks an atmosphere(大气层),astronomers say it would be an ideal observatory(观测站)(infact the Moon does have an atmosphere, though it is a very thin onethat contains no more gas than the air in a three bedroom house onEarth).The Moon turns once every 27.3 days. allowing long uninterruptedviewing, And in the permanently shadowed craters near the poles, thetemperature remains constant at about -200C :ideal conditions forinfrared telescopes, In particular astronomers are interested inplacing telescopes on the far side of the Moon. because it ispermanently shielded from electromagnetic pollution from the Earth suchas radio and TV broadcasts.
行星科学家不是唯一对月球感兴趣的人。因为月球缺乏大气层,天文学家说它可以是一个理想的观测站(事实上月球是有大气层的,虽然它非常稀薄,它所包含的气体和一个地球上三居室的房子里的空气一样多)。月球每27.3天转一圈,允许长时间的不间断的观测。在接近极地地区的长期阴影的陨石坑里,温度始终保持在-200度:是放置红外线望远镜理想的条件。此外,天文学家还对把望远镜放在月球的远端感兴趣。因为那里长期的屏蔽了来自地球的像无线电和电视广播这样的电磁污染。
2. Onthe other hand, he acknowledges, the beauty of the evolutionaryapproach-that it emerges on its own, without anyone’s having to analyseall the complexities, is also a potential stumbling block(绊脚石)to its acceptance(认可),especially in applications where human life is at stake(处于危险中).“The software may function perfectly well, but we won’t reallyunderstand how it works,” says Jefferson. Some people might find robotslike that a little too human for comfort.
另一方面,他认为进化论的优点在于,它自行发展不需要其他人分析其复杂性,进化论同时也是人类认可的潜在的绊脚石。特别是在它的应用会给人类生活带来危险的时候。杰弗森说:“软件可以运做的很完美,但我们不能真正地理解它是怎样工作的”。像那样的机器人有一点太人性化以至于感到不舒服。
--------------------------------------------------Questions------------------------------------------------
(about information superhighway)An unprecedented(史无前例的)nationwide- and eventually worldwide-electronic communications networkthat connects everyone to everyone else and provides just about anysort of electronic communication imaginable(可想象的到的). You’d be able to hook up(联机) to the network through your computer, interactive TV(互动式电视机), telephone, or some future device that somehow combines(以某种方法结合) the attributes(特性) of all three. Even wireless gadgets(小配件) such as pagers(寻呼机), future versions of cellular phones(蜂窝状电话), and newfangled(新奇的) ‘personal digital assistants(助手)’ would be able to tap into(联接,接入) the highway. The purpose: to provide remote(远程) electronic banking, schooling, shopping, taxpaying(付税), chatting(聊天), game playing, videoconferencing(电视会议), movie ordering, medical diagnosing(诊断)….the list goes on.
补充p106 Road-tollingtechnology is a top priority, especially in Britain, Several systemswill be tested as part of the electronic tolling trials starting on theM3 motorway near Basingstoke next spring. As well as debiting driversfor using the roads, the same tolling technology could be used to cuttraffic.
The systems to beshort-listed by the Department of Transport in the next few mouths willuse microwave sensors on overhead gantries-or cellular mobile phonelinks-to detect every vehicle traveling on the road and then debit asmart card on its windscreen.
道路收费技术是最优先的,特别是在英国。在明年春天,很多系统将作为电子收费试验的一部分在靠近Basingstoke的M3公路上被测试。除了向使用道路的司机收费外,这个收费系统也可以用来缓解交通。
这个系统被交通部列入精简名单,在接下来的几个月里将使用装在跨路钢架上的微波传感器-或蜂窝状的移动手机网络来探测在公路上的每一辆车,然后从装在挡风屏上的智能卡里收费。

Will we or our descendantsall die when an extraterrestrial object comes hurtling down onto Earth?This question was brought to the fore by the enormous publicitysurrounding the collision of the fragments of the comet Shoemaker-Levy9 with Jupiter in July 1994.Even before these events ,the question hadstimulated some astronomers to propose searches to identify all largeasteroids that might hit Earth in the foreseeable future. The questionhad also stimulated developers of nuclear weapons to propose mechanismsfor deflecting such asteroids before they collide with Earth, At thebehest of the US Congress, NASA has appointed several committees toconsider detection and deflection of potentially hazardous asteroids,the most recent of which, the Shoemaker Committee, has just releasedits report, Meanwhile ,the International Astronomical Union has alsoappointed a working group to consider what actions are scientificallyappropriate in studying and detecting near-Earth objects.
当外星的物体猛烈撞击到地球上的时候,我们或者我们的后代会不会都死?对1994年七月彗星shoemaker-levy 9碎片撞击到木星的广泛报道引起了人们对这个问题的注意。甚至在这些事件之前,这个问题促使一些天文学家计划研究鉴别所有在可预见的未来可能撞击地球的巨大的小行星。这个问题同时也促使核武器发展者计划一些机械装置去使类似的小行星在撞上地球之前转向。按照美国国会的吩咐,(美国)国家航空和宇宙航行局指定了数个委员会去考虑侦察和转向潜在的危险的小行星。最新成立的一个委员会-Shoemaker委员会刚发表了他们的报告。同时,国际天文学联盟也指定了一个工作组去考虑在研究和发现近地物体上哪些行为在科学上是恰当的。
