    Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.
    The contemporary environmental movement is often said to have begun with the publication of Silent Spring by the zoologist and biologist Rachel Carson (1907–1964). This landmark work, which took Carson 4 years to complete, diligently detailed the relationship between animal death  and the use— now understood as the abuse—of man-made chemicals used as pesticides, especially DDT. One of the claims of the book that she tried to demonstrate was that DDT had the effect of softening the eggshells of birds as well as interfering with their reproduction, and that such effects would lead to their extinction if use of DDT were to continue. It would eventually create a springtime of silence when the songs of birds would not be heard. Her studies also found DDT to be a cause of human cancers.
    Born in Springdale, Pennsylvania, Carson graduated from the Pennsylvania College for Women in Pittsburgh (now Chatham College), where she majored in English until her junior year, when a course in biology inspired her to switch to zoology as her field of concentration. She earned a master’s degree in this area from Johns Hopkins University and became a biologist at the Bureau of Fisheries in 1936. During this time, she wrote for various national magazines, and her first book, Under the Sea-Wind, was published. Carson had concerns as early as 1945 about pesticides being used more and more by the government. But her cautionary claims in Silent Spring were met with anger by the pesticide and chemical industries. Her authority as a scientist were challenged, and it was held that her findings were just the roars of a hysterical(歇斯底里的) woman. She was even accused of being a member of the Communist Party. Some go so far as to say that she told a lie .
    But She is often celebrated as the founder of the contemporary U.S. environmental movement. Yet her work in Silent Spring, warning about the misuse of pesticides and other chemicals, has not as yet taken firm hold. Americans likely use twice as much the volume of pesticides that they did at the time she published her seminal work, and globally, their use is ever increasing. Powerful pesticides are sold over the counter, and their use is so widespread that many environmentalists are fearful that chemical runoff into streams and rivers is still popullting the animals that humans eat and the water that they drink.
    In short, while the main purpose of Silent Spring was to warn the public of the dangers of the overuse of pesticides and chemicals, nonetheless the public hasn’t refused such use. Isn't it time that we firmly said no to pesticides?

    等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
    • 序数词

    序数词的概念:

    表示顺序的数称为序数词。如:first, second, third, fourth。


    序数词的构成与用法

    1、序数词的构成:
    ①一般来说,是由相应的基数词加词尾th构成。
       例:four+th→fourth
               six+th→sixth
               seven+th→seventh
               ten+th→tenth
    ②下面这些基数词在变为序数词时,有特殊的变化。
    例:one→first
            two→second
            three→third
            five→fifth
            eight→eighth
            nine→ninth
            twelve→twelfth
    ③十位整数序数词的构成方法是将基数词的词y变成i,然后再加eth。
    例:twenty→twentieth
            thirty→thirtieth
            forty→fortieth
            ninety→ninetieth
    ④两位或两位以上的基数词变成序数词时,仅将个位数变成序数词。
    例:twenty-one→twenty-first
            thirty-five→thirty-fifth
            a hundred and fifty-three→a hundred and fifty-third

    2、序数词的用法:
    ①序数词在使用时,一般加上定冠词。
    例:the first book
            the second floor
            the third day
            the fourth week.
    ②序数词在多数情况下都用作定语,有的也可以作表语、主语和宾语。
    例:The may1st is Labour Day. 五月一日是劳动节。
            My room is on the second floor. 我的房间在二楼。
            The first is larger than the secon.(主语)第一个比第二个大。
            Read the book from the first.(宾语)从开头读这本书。
            You'll be the sixth to write.(表语)你将是第六个写的。
    ③序数词的前面可以加上不定冠词,用来表示“再一”,“又一”的意思。
    例:You may have a third try. 你可以第三次尝试。


    序数词知识体系:

     


    约数的表达方法

    用tens/dozens/scores/hundreds/thousands/millions of 表示“几十、几百、上千、成千上万”等。
    如:The boy bought dozens of pencils.            
            Thousands of people died in the earthquake.
    注意: (A):dozen, score, hundred, thousand, million等表示确切数量时,不用复数。
    如:five dozen (of) eggs   五打鸡蛋
            hree hundred people  三百个人

    分数词的构成和用法:

    1)分数词构成法:
    分数词(FractionalNumerals)由基数词和序数词构成,基数词代表分子,序数词代表分母。除了分子为1的情况下,序数词都要用复数形式:
    如:1/4:one-fourth
            5/9:five-ninths
            2/3:two-thirds
           17/5:three and two-fifths
           7/12:seven-twelfths
           379/8:forty-seven and three-eighths
    此外还有下面表示法:
    如:1/2:a(one) half
            1/4:a(one) quarter
            3/4:three-quarters
            9/4:two and a quarter
            3/2:one and half
            31/4:seven and three quarters
