2010年高考英语北京卷 - 阅读理解C - Pacing and Pausing（节奏和停顿）

The way we do things round here

我们在这里做事的方式

Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, "Dear John, I am quite pleased that you he decided to join us. " That "quite" saddened me．I thought he was saying "we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else. " Then I discovered that in American English "quite" sometimes means "very", while in British English it means "fairly"．

几年前，我被一家美国银行聘用。我收到一封来自人事部门负责人的信，信的开头是：“亲爱的约翰，我很高兴你决定加入我们。”句子中的“很（quite）”让我很难过，我想他是在说“我们很高兴你决定加入我们，尽管我希望我们已经雇用了其他人。”然后我发现在美式英语中“很（quite）”有时意味着“非常（very）”，而在英式英语中它意味着“公平（fairly）”。

So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just mean the words people speak．It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on．The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures. Some of these differences may be only on the surface-dress, food and hours of work-while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate, while getting on with business．

因此，在其他国家工作的第一课是学习语言，我指的不仅仅是人们所说的语言，还包括肢体语言、衣着、礼仪、思想等等。人们做事的方式突出表现出不同文化之间我们存在的众多差异。其中一些差异可能只是表面上的——衣着、食物和工作时间上的差异——而另一些差异可能更深，需要更长的时间来处理。大多数情况下，这只是一个习惯差异并接受它们的问题，比如谈生意的时候聊聊气候。

Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it hens without hing to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality. If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country．

有些差异可能是一种进步。人们更礼貌；服务更好；你要求做某件事，不用再问就可以做好。然而，另一些差异可能会令人不安，比如守时。如果你邀请人们在七点聚会，在德国你的客人会认为准时到是礼貌的，而在美国中西部需要提前5分钟，在日本提前一小时，在英国延后15分钟，在意大利最多延后一小时，在希腊是在晚上的某个时候。我不喜欢用“迟（late）”这个词，因为人们到达的时间没有问题。在他们自己的国家，完全可接受。

Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve’s new wife, but Betty never seemed to he anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn’t hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never ge her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.

萨拉想和她的老朋友史蒂夫的新婚妻子贝蒂交朋友，但贝蒂似乎没什么表示。萨拉觉得贝蒂没有打断她的谈话时，贝蒂向史蒂夫抱怨说萨拉从来没有给过她说话的机会。这个问题与人们对节奏和停顿的期望有关。

Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there’s no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I’m finished or fail to take your turn when I’m finished. That’s what was hening with Betty and Sara.

谈话是一种轮流进行的游戏。当我们的习惯相似时，没有问题。但是如果我们的习惯不同，你可能在我说完之前就开始说，或者在我说完的时候你没有接上。贝蒂和莎拉就是这样。

It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.

这可能不是巧合，贝蒂是英国人，她期望在转换之间停顿长一点，而萨拉是美国人，她期望停顿短一点。贝蒂常常感到被萨拉打断，但是当她遇到来自芬兰的客人时，她自己成了打断别人的人，总是自己在说。萨拉在遇到来自拉美或以色列的发言者讲话时也很难插嘴。

The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping. And these social phenomena can he very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in--and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.

通常就是这样，像节奏和停顿这样的谈话小技巧会让人们得出关于个性和能力的结论，而不是关于谈话风格。这些习惯性差异往往是危险的思维定式的基础，这些社会现象会产生非常私人的后果。例如，一位来自美国西南部的妇女到东部城市居住，从事人事工作。当人事部开会时，她会一直在寻找合适的时间插话——但始终没有找到。虽然在家乡她被认为是外向和自信，但在华盛顿她则被认为是害羞，不善与人交往。年底对她考评时，被告知要参加培训，因为她不会说话。

That’s why slight differences in conversational style --- tiny little things like microseconds of pause --- can he a great effect on one’s life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems --- even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.

这就是为什么谈话风格上的细微差别——像几微秒停顿这样的小事——会对一个人的生活产生巨大影响。案例的结果是对心理问题的判断——甚至在这位女士自己的头脑中，她真的很想知道她到底有什么问题，而去报名参加自信心培训。

2021成人高考高起点英语习题：阅读理解

We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices well after they go out of style. That’s bad news for the environment — and our wallets — as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.

我们可能认为，在我们的文化中，一看到崭新的事物就会摒弃我们的旧技术，但一项新的研究表明，当旧设备过时了之后我们仍然继续使用。这对于环境和我们的钱包来说是个坏消息，因为这些过时的设备做同样的事情要比新设备消耗更多的能源。

To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life — from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 19. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.

为了弄清楚这些设备的耗电量，纽约罗切斯特理工学院的卡莉·巴比特和她的同事跟踪了每种产品在其整个生命周期内造成的环境代价——从原料开到停止使用该设备。这一方法提供了自20世纪90年代初以来家庭能源使用的变化数据。不同的年代出现了不同的设备。台式计算机、最初的移动电话和盒式电视定义了1992年。19年，数码相机问世。2002年MP3播放器、智能手机和液晶电视进入家庭，2007年平板电脑和电子阅读器问世。

As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you he a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher. The erage number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices — we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.

然而，当我们积累了更多的设备时，我们并没有扔掉我们的旧设备。一位研究人员说：“客厅的电视更换后放在孩子们的房间里，突然有一天，家里每个房间都有一台电视”。每个家庭拥有的电子设备平均数量从1992年的4台增加到2007年的13台。我们不仅保留了这些旧设备，我们还继续使用它们。根据巴比特团队的分析，旧的台式显示器和带有阴极射线管的盒式电视是最糟糕的设备，它们的能耗和温室气体排放量都很高，在1992年至2007年期间增加了一倍多。

So what's the solution? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would hen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.

那么解决方案是什么呢？该团队的数据仅持续到2007年，但研究人员还探讨了如果消费者使用具有多种功能的新电子产品（如用于文字处理和电视观看的平板电脑）取代旧产品会发生什么情况。他们发现，用平板电脑上代替电视和台式电脑观看更多的点播节目，可以减少44%的能耗。

thieves.Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers.Rustlers made the

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in LocustValley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.

我在“野生动物志愿者”组织工作，这是蝗虫谷贝利植物园的一个援救教育组织，帮助受伤、流离失所或生病的动物。这样的工作可能会令人心碎；因为无法确定动物是否能活下来。然而，当救援起作用时，这种感觉真的很棒！

I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.

我接到马特顿镇一位女士的求救电话，她在地上发现了一只猫头鹰幼鸟。当我到达时，我看见了一只两三周大的猫头鹰。为了安全起见，它已经被放在一辆大货车上。

I examined the chick and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might he been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.

我检查了这只幼鸟，看起来还不错。如果我能找到鸟巢，我也许能把它放回去，但没那么。接下来的工作就是建造一只鸟巢，并固定在一棵树上。

The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.

房主非常乐于助人，给我找来了一只铁丝篮。为了让鸟巢安全舒适，我把一些松枝放进铁丝篮里，然后我把小猫头鹰放进鸟巢里，它很快安静了下来。

Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I ge the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I ge the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.

现在最需要的是这只小猫头鹰的父母，但它们不在。我给了房主一份小猫头鹰饥饿尖叫声的录音。这些录音会让猫头鹰父母知道小猫头鹰的存在，也会鼓励小猫头鹰学着尖叫。我把尽可能多的消息告诉了房主，然后回家，看看晚上会有什么情况。

A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH！The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.

这的确是一个紧张的夜晚，但有时大自然的神灵会眷顾我们！房主打电话说小猫头鹰的父母已经对这些录音做出了回应。我开车过去，鸟巢里的小猫头鹰看起来健康又活泼。鸟巢里出现了最令人感动的一幕——小猫头鹰的身边全是午餐！它的父母已经在尽职尽责，而且很可能会继续这样做。

Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation ears attractive; to those who know their strenghth. Imitation is unacceptable.

盲目模仿是自我毁灭。对于那些不明白自己独特价值的人来说，模仿似乎很有吸引力；对于那些清楚自己实力的人来说，模仿不可接受。

In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.

在技能或性格发展的早期阶段，模仿是有用的。当我第一次学做菜时，我用菜谱做出了一些美味佳肴。但很快我就厌倦了，既然我可以自己做，为什么还要效仿别人的烹饪方式呢？模仿榜样就像在儿童车上使用训练轮帮助你前进，但一旦你掌握了平衡，你就可以飞得更快更远，而不依赖它们。

In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may he accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.

在日常生活中，如果我们下意识树立了糟糕的榜样，模仿就会伤害我们。如果你小时候观察过那些过得不好的人，你可能会像平常一样接受他们的恐惧和痛苦，并继续追随他们的所作所为。如果你不为自己做出强有力的选择，你将接收他人软弱选择的结果。

In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behiors.

在领域，我们的文化赞美名人。这些明星在屏幕上看起来很棒。但离开屏幕时，个人生活可能会是灾难性的。如果你要追随某人，请关注他们的天赋，而不是他们的坏性格或不可接受的行为。

Blessed is the person willing to act on their sundden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that he affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people he an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.

那些能将他们的突发奇想付诸行动,从而创造出独一无二产品的人，是值得祝福的。想想那些对你影响最深的**、书籍、老师和朋友吧，他们感动了你，因为他们的创作源于灵感而不是绝望。世界的改变不是因为那些重复前人的人，而是因为那些可以实现心中梦想的人。有创造力的人有无尽的想法。创造者面临的问题不是材料枯竭；而是如何利用这些材料敲开想象之门。

Study your role models, accept the gifts they he given and lee behind what does not serve you.

Then you can say, "I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors' tragedies and stories, and know that they are cheering me on."

学习你的榜样，接受他们给你的礼物，抛弃不适合的。然后你可以讲述“我站在祖先肩膀上“的悲剧和经历，并知道他们为什么欢呼。

Peanuts to This

从花生到这

Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher．Hing no choice, I slowly raised the report I had sled over, hoping to hide myself．“What could be causing everyone to act this way?”

我自豪地读着我的文章，环视了一下教室，同学们笑得眼泪都要流出来了。我困惑地朝我那面无表情的老师看了一眼。我别无选择，缓缓地举起我费尽心机写的报告，希望能找个地方把自己给藏起来。“大家这是怎么了？”

Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot ge me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip a coin. Heads－the commander, and tails－the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver．

我快速回想起兰斯洛特**给我分配任务的那天，这是我在新学校里第一次真正的演讲。看起来很简单：上网查找一个名叫乔治·华盛顿的人的资料。由于我对历史的认识来自我家乡的一位年长老师，我以前从未听说过这个名字。当我搜索这个人的名字时，很明显，有两个同名的人看起来完全不同！其中一个发明了数百种花生的用途，而另一个则带领着一支军队横扫美国。我盯着屏幕，想知道我的老师指的是哪一种。我打电话给我爷爷，他让我掷硬币。正面——指挥官，反面——花生人。啊！我的报告是关于发明花生酱的伟人乔治·华盛顿·卡弗的。

Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly class, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear，“My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?

几周后，站在这个不友好的班级面前，我完全不知所措。哦，好吧，我放下报纸，坐在课桌前，急切地想知道我做错了什么。当一位同学开始他的报告时，一切都变得清晰起来，“我的报告是关于乔治·华盛顿的，他是美国革命的先驱。”整个世界都安静了！我怎么知道老师指的是乔治·华盛顿？

Obviously, my grade was awful．Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around．I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted：No re-dos; no new grade．I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance．Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year．Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather, now hing an entirely different conversation．I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade．Justice is sweet!

显然，我的成绩很糟糕。心碎但无所畏惧，我决定扭转局面。我和兰斯洛特**谈过，但她坚持说：不要再来了；分数不会改。我觉得惩罚是不合理的，我认为我应该得到第二次机会。因此，我在学年剩下的时间里全力以赴地投入到学习中。十个月后，当我发现自己和祖父坐在校长办公室时，这个机会开始了，现在有了一个完全不同的对话。我笑了笑，回忆飞速定格到了年初校长通知我选择跳过六年级的那个尴尬时刻。公平是甜蜜的！
