下半年P(guān)ETS考試備考已經(jīng)拉開帷幕，為了幫助大家備考，從本期開始我們將為大家整理一系列公共英語三級(jí)考試PETS3級(jí)學(xué)習(xí)筆記，希望對(duì)大家備考有幫助。
Dialogues /monologues:
1、what does the gravity has to do with the planets staying in orbit around the sun?
has to do with：V. 與……有關(guān)
2、It may be a case of communicating knowledge, drawing attention to new issues or enteraining on the basis of science subjects—and there is no reason why the same program cannot combine all three.
draw sb attention to sth：令某人注意某事。如：
She draw my attention to the boy who is crying on the road.
3、The film opens with an interview with Andrew Wiles, the man who discovered the solution to Fermat’s last theorem, which had remained unsolved for centuries.
open with：用……作為開場(chǎng)，以……開頭。如：
He opened the conference with a speech of welcome.
4、But I still hope I can open screens of any size depending on the distance I want to be from the wall in my living-room.
但是我還希望可以根據(jù)我離起居室墻的距離隨意調(diào)整屏幕的大小。
Passage:
The World Wide Lab
The 20th century was the golden age of the laboratory. Answers to the great research questions were sought within sheltered chambers, where small groups of specialized experts scaled down (or up) phenomena in joyful isolation. Call it the era of trickle-down science: knowledge emerged from a confined center of rational enlightenment, then slowly became known to the rest of society. Science was what was made inside the walls where white coats were at work. Outside the laboratories boundaries began the realm of mere experience—not experiment.
Today, all this is changing. Indeed, it would be an understatement to say that soon nothing, absolutely nothing, will be left of this top-down model of scientific influence.
First, the laboratory has extended its walls to the whole planet. Instruments are everywhere. Houses, factories, and hospitals have become lab outposts. Think, for instance, of global positioning systems: thanks to satellite networks, geologists and biologists can now take measurements outside their laboratories with the same degree of precision they achieve inside. Meanwhile, a worldwide network of environmental sensors monitors the planet in real time. And research satellites observe it from above, as if the earth were under a microscope. The difference between outdoor science and lab science has slowly eroded.
