Unit 5
1. A territory for an animal is a geographical area that an animal chooses to have
dominance over animal such as birds and mammals seem to exert control over their territory. And they are more aggressive in defending the center, or core, I,e. The central part of their territory and they become less aggressive in the outer limits of their territory.动物领地是动物选择的有统治权的地理区域。像鸟类和哺乳动物似乎控制着它们的领地。它们在保卫中心或核心，继领地的中心区时候更加有攻击性，而在领地边缘地带，他们的攻击性则有所减弱。
2. All the plants and animals that live in the desert have adapted amazingly to this lack of
water. For example, a typical and well-known desert plant is the cactus. A cactus has shallow roots that grow over a wide area, so that it can pick up as much water at possible, Since cacti are without leaves, they lose little water from their surface through evaporation所有生长在沙漠里的动物植物都惊人地适应缺水。典型的是众所周知的沙漠植物，仙人掌，仙人掌扎根范围大而浅，能最大限度的吸收水分。由于仙人掌没有叶子，所以它的表面通过蒸发而流失的水份很少。 3. We must take into account the wider investment needs of the region. Namely the need
and opportunities offered by sustainably managing and utilizing the region’s natural or nature-based infrastructure. And the return on investment possible through rehabilitating and repairing those parts of the “ecosystem infrastructure” that have been damaged. Degraded or until now poorly maintained.我们必须将区域的更广泛的投资需求纳入考虑范围。既由可持续发展地管理和使用区域的自然和以自然为本的基础设计带来的需求和机会。我们还要考虑通过重建和维修已破坏，退化或至今维护不佳的那部分“生态基础设施”而带来的可能的回报。 4. One way we can help protect biological diversity, and protect society from the threat of
climate change, is to protect our existing forests and work, where possible, to replant areas that have been deforested. Between 2000 to 2005, the world lost 73000 square kilometers of forest each year-an area approximately the size of panama, nearly a quarter the size of Malaysia。要保护生物多样性和使社会免受气候变化的威胁，我们能做的事情就是保护现存的森林。在被砍伐而有可能重新植被的地方在植树。2002=2003年。每年世界失去73000平方公里的森林。面积几乎和巴拿马一样大，接近马来西亚的四分之一。 5. Many of our ecosystems are not just serving the region, but the whole world, Joseph
stiglitz, The Nobel prize-winning economist, estimates that the carbon sequestration or carbon soaking value of tropical forests probably equals or exceeds the current level of international aid being provided to developing countries. In other words it is the developing world that is being charitable to the developed by freely removing large levels of the gases they are producing and which are causing climate change.我们的生态系统很多不是为某一个地区服务，而是服务整个世界。诺贝尔经济学奖获得者。。。估计热带雨林的碳汇或碳吸收的价值相当甚至超过提供给发展中国家的国际援助。换句话说，发展中国家在援助发达国家，因为发张中国家无偿处理了发达工国家制造的导致气候变化的高度废气。
6. 如果我们进入技术新时代而不首先认识到我们对环境应负有的责任，我们将遇到很多危机。。If we enter the new age of technology without first realizing our responsible to the
environment, we will encounter many hazards.
7. 人口爆炸是当今世界最严重的问题之一，它会导致自然资源的匮乏，拥挤的城市和高失业率，要解决
这些问题，我们必须采取有效的措施控制生育率. Population explosion is one of the most serious problems in the world. It will lead to shortage of natural resources, more crowded cities and high rate of unemployment. To solve all these problems, we must take effective measures to control the birth rate
8. 有证据表明，一些野生动物会传播病毒给人类，猎捕和进食野生动物不仅会破坏大自然的平衡，而且
会有被动物病毒传染的风险。Evidence shows that some wild animals can transmit their virus to human. Hunting and eating wild animals not only destroy the balance of nature, but also run the risk of being infected by virus from animals.
9. 一些科学家认为太阳能是唯一能满足全世界巨大需要的能源。最有用的太阳能设备是太阳能电池，它
最大的优势之一是可以做的很小便于携带。Some scientists believe that solar energy is the
only kind which can meet the world’s enormous needs for power, The most useful type of
solar power equipment is the solar cell. One of the cell’s advantages is that it can be made small enough to carry.
10. 没有树木，土地很快会变成沙漠，没有树木，人们将遭受自然灾害，如洪水，沙尘暴，树木给我们提
供了一个平衡的生态环境。Without trees, the land will soon turn to desert, without trees, man will suffer from natural disaster such as floods, and sandstorms, Tress provided us with a ecological balance of the environment.
11. 中国很多城市面临水资源短缺的问题，这是由人口爆炸，经济的发展以及环境的污染所造成的，更糟
糕的是，很多人并没有意识到问题的严重性，仍然每天浪费很多水，众所周知，除非水资源短缺的问题得以解决，否则经济不可能快速发展，所以我们必须立即采取行动。Many Chinese cities are faced with the problem of water shortage. This is caused by population explosion. The growing economy and its pollution. And what is worse, many people don’t realize the seriousness of the problem and still waste a lot of water every day. It is known to all that it is impossible to develop our economy at a fast speed unless the water shortage problem is solved. So immediate action should be taken.
12. 首先我们应该让每个人都知道水在许多地方已经越来越缺乏，我们在日常生活中绝不应该浪费水，其
次，我们必须实习计划生育政策并采取行动抗击水污染，如果我们每个人每天都能节约一点水，至少我们能够缓解水的紧张状况。只有当所有的人都意识到水资源短缺的严重性，水的问题才能得到解决。First of all, We must let everybody know water is becoming more and more scarce in many place and we should never waste water in our daily life. Secondly. We must practice birth control policy and take action to fight against water pollution. If everyone of us can save just a little water every day. We will at least relieve the tension of the water shortage. Only when all the people realize the seriousness of water shortage. Can water problem be solved.
13. The chief scientist in the research group singles out the United states for “refusing to
countenance any remedial action now or in the future” to curb its own greenhouse gases, which are 20% of the world’s total. Though it has only 4% of the population.研究小组中的首席科学家特别指出占世界人口4%的美国，其温室气体排放量占全世界排放量的20%，但却始终拒绝，在当前或今后采取任何补救措施。 14. Blaming avian flu on bird migrations is misleading. And a “quick fix” of culling migratory
birds is certainly not the solution. Traditional methods of control including culling of infected poultry. Vaccination and trade restrictions may at considerable expense contain the virus and reduce economic and human consequences。把禽流感归咎于鸟类的迁移是一种误导，把宰杀候鸟作为速效药当然不是解决办法，传统的控制方法包括宰杀已经感染的禽类，打针预防，和限制贸易 这样也许能在花费大量的费用的条件下控制病毒，并减少对经济的损失和对人造成的后果。 15. A bird’s plumage is a good indicator of its condition. Growing brightly colored feathers in
the first place requires the right genes. Maintaining them requires health(i.e. a good immune system) and grooming. In many bird species feather color and position in the pecking order are closely correlated.鸟类的羽毛能很好的反映其身体状况。羽毛色泽鲜艳明亮的前提是健康的基因。保持羽毛亮丽不仅要求身体健康(既拥有完善的免疫系统)，而且也要打扮装饰，很多鸟类中，羽毛的色彩和他们啄食的先后顺序密切相关 16. If there really is life elsewhere in the universe. What are the odds of finding it in our
lifetime? There’s plenty of ifs for skeptical scientists to swallow. As some physicists liked to say. If there are so many extraterrestrials out there, why haven’t we heard from them?如果宇宙的其他地方确实存在生命。那么我们在有生之年找到外星人的可能性有毒大。对外星生命存在持怀疑态度的科学家们认为，这个问题有太多的“如果‘。正如一些物理学家经常说的那样，如果
宇宙中存在学许多多的外星生命，为什么我们至今没有收到他们的任何信息
17. Many scientists were slow to see the significance of such research. Why worry about the
loss of a few IQ points. They argued, when the real threat of chemical exposure was life-threatening disease? Today, however, a dramatic increase in learning disabilities had forced Environmental protection Agency officials to acknowledge that they have ignored a much broader problem. One of every six children in America suffers from problems such as autism, aggression, dyslexia, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.许多科学家并没有立刻看到这类研究的意义。既然接触化学物质的真正威胁是危机生命的疾病，智商稍微下降几个点有什么可担心的呢？今天。学习障碍患者的大幅度增加迫使环境保护官员承认，他们忽视了一个更大的问题，在美国，每6名儿童中就有一名患有孤独症，心理地对，诵读困难和多动症等疾病。 18. The wealth of Africa’s ecosystems-of the goods and services provided by nature and their contribution to human well being-is the inescapable them running throughout the report. Take the wetlands of Zambezi Basin, It is established that the economic value in terms of crops and agriculture of these wetlands is close to $50 million a year. The wetlands also have other economic importance. Take biodiversity for example and take the gorillas of the Great Lakes Region. It is estimated that tourism linked with gorilla watching now brings in around $ 20 millions a year.非洲的生态系统带来的财富，既大自然所提供的商品和服务以及对人类的贡献。是贯穿报告始终的不可避免的主题，以赞比亚盘地的湿地位列，据估计每年这些湿地的庄稼和农业经济收入达近五千万美元。其他还有其他重要的经济地位，以生物多样性为列，如大湖区的大猩猩，据估计如今和观赏大猩猩相关的旅游业每年有2000万美元左右的产值。
19. 当我们阅读报纸的时候，常常会碰到污染这个词，一些人指责工业革命，他们认为物质的进步同时也
给人们带来了很多负面的影响。When you read newspaper, we often come across the word population. Some people like to lay the blame on the industrial revolution, they say that material progress has also brought many negative effects on human.
20. 现在，越来越多的人开始关注自然资源的开采问题，随着人口和经济的快速增长，我们现在开采的资
源越多，留给将来的资源越少。Nowadays, more and more people begin to care about the exploitation of the natural resource. With the rapid growth of population and economy. The more resources we exploit today, the less there will be left for the future.
21. 在许多国家，政府和科学家们已经采取措施通过废品的再生利用来减少污染，节约自然资源，可以再
生的物质包括纸张，玻璃，罐头，塑料等。In many countries,government, and scientists have taken measure to reduce the pollution and save the natural resources by recycling the waste. Substances that can be recycled include paper,glass, cans, plastics,etc.
22. 我们常常在报纸上看到一些动物种类濒临灭绝，一些科学家认为气候的变化导致了一些动物的灭绝，
当动物们住的地方变冷或辨认，而他们又无法适应新的环境时，它们就会死亡。We often read in the newspaper that some kinds of animal are dying out, Some scientists think some animals becoming extinct because of changes in climate, When places they live become hotter or colder and they can’t adapt to the new surrounding, they die
23. 随着城市的发展，杀虫剂的使用和严重的环境污染，很多野生动物面临食物危机，同时，人类杀戮一
些野生动物来获取它们的毛，皮。牙齿等，很多野生动物面临灭绝的危险。With the development of cities, the using of insecticide and serious pollution. Many of the wild animals now are faced with food crisis, At the same time, man is killing off some species for their fur, skin, teeth, etc. Many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction.
24. 西藏自治区位于青海高原的主体部分，海拔高，地理特殊，野生动物植物资源，水资源，和矿产资源
丰富。素有世界屋脊之称。东南亚地区的生态源。还是中国乃至东半球的气候的调节区。Chin’s Tibet
Autonomous Region is situated on the main body of Qinghai-Tibet plateau. With high altitude, unique geographical feature and rich wildlife, water and mineral resource. It has
