浅谈提高英语口语能力的途径

中国人在练习英语口语时往往认为:所掌握的英语词汇不多,语音又不好,说不好英语会让人笑话。因此,出现了越不敢说越说不好,越不说就越不会说的恶性循环。我们认为,要练好英语口语,首先要有明确的学习目的,然后要对英语学习百分之百地感兴趣。在练习中克服害羞心理,学会用身体语言和目光交流帮助语言交流,不断地增加词汇量,改进语音语调。经过不懈努力,练习练习再练习,就一定能提高自己的英语口语能力。     

世界文化和不可知论的政见——一个致力于跨文化融洽交流的计划

就世界文化课程内容的具体设置,及联合大学与传媒以更好地实现课程积极目标等诸问题进行探讨.通过多层次的论证强调指出人们始终持有相异或相冲突的宗教、哲学以及意识形态,尚没有一种普世真理足以使世间所有人心悦诚服.即便是广泛接受和运用中的科学知识,其发展亦受阻于人类本身的局限而不可确定.尽管科学在前沿问题研究上竞争激烈,也仍然无法回答和消除所有的问题和差异.因此,从全球或泛人类立场观之,人类现有的知识与理解能力具有不确定和不完整的特点,而这样的特点浸透在所有的具体文化信仰之中.认识到共同局限性的人们--尤其是政界的领导人--亟需摒弃极端的文化分离思想,以更宽容理解的心态思考和行动,这样才能避免不同民族及不同国家间的不断冲突和互相伤害.     

趋磁细菌磁小体的生物矿化作用和磁学性质研究进展

趋磁细菌磁小体研究是揭示生物矿化作用和探索生物活动与地磁场之间联系的重要研究内容。细菌成因的磁铁矿颗粒也是部分湖泊和海洋沉积物磁性的主要载体。本文将在介绍趋磁细菌基础上，重点评述磁小体形成过程研究、磁测量技术、沉积物中化石磁小体的识别方法、环境指示意义等方面的新进展，并简要展望未来磁小体研究及其应用前景。     

北祁连山榴辉岩锆石SHRIMP定年及其构造意义

应用阴极发光和离子探针技术, 对北祁连山高压变质带两个榴辉岩样品中的锆石进行了结构和形态学观察以及原位U-Pb定年. 所获得的年龄值分别为463 ± 6 和468 ± 13 Ma, 代表了本区榴辉岩相变质时代. 这是北祁连山加里东期高压变质作用的最早记录, 可能代表了大洋板块俯冲进入上地幔经受榴辉岩相变质的时间.     

近0.5 ka来中国北方干旱半干旱地区的降水变化分析

从IGBP集成研究的思想出发, 采用冰芯、树轮、历史文献和湖泊沉积等多种气候代用资料, 重建了近0.5 ka来中国干旱区西部和东部, 以及整个干旱区分辨率为10年的降水变化序列. 在此基础上与1470年以来半干旱区西部和东部代用降水序列进行了比较. 结果表明, 近0.5 ka来各区域降水曲线均存在5次气候干旱期, 每个干旱期持续50年左右, 同时降水表现出区域差异性. 近0.5 ka来干旱区东部与半干旱区西部、半干旱区东部的降水呈现出基本一致的变化趋势, 而干旱区西部的降水变化比较独特, 呈现出显著的局地性降水特征. 最大熵谱和奇异谱分析结果表明每个区域降水序列, 包括干旱区西部、东部, 整个干旱区、半干旱区西部和东部, 以及中国北方区域降水序列, 均存在百年尺度约120年左右的周期.     

各向异性的气体-颗粒介质内的二通量辐射传热模型

二通量模型是计算气体-颗粒平板内辐射热通量的简化方法. 在最初的二通量模型中, 辐射场被假设成在半球方向的各向同性. 但是对于燃烧领域的气体-颗粒混合介质, 颗粒的散射通常都是各向异性的, 这样, 原有的二通量模型就会由于忽略各向异性而产生严重的误差. 文中一个多层四通量模型被运用到包含气体-颗粒混合物的辐射热通量的计算. 给出了模型的解析求解过程, 定义了等价的平均交叉系数h和前向散射率z来描述整个平板散射的各向异性. 为了验证模型的准确性, 计算了一个无限大平板内的辐射传递过程, 并与解析结果进行了比较. 结果表明提出的模型能够得到准确的结果, 对原有的二通量模型具有较好的改进作用. 运用本模型计算含有飞灰/CO₂/H₂O的燃烧产物的辐射传递, 所得到的平板发射率与Goodwin的经典结果相吻合.     

NPP distribution related to the terrains along the North-South Transect of Eastern China

Vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) is defined as the accumulative amount of organic matters per unit area and time, which is calculated from the difference between accumulative photosynthesis and accumulative autotrophic respiration by green plants. Since the NPP reflects the physiological and ecological characteristics of the plants and the interactive results of the environmental factors, it is an important index to evaluate a structure of ecological system, functional features and …     

Simulation of meridional overturning in the upper layer of the South China Sea with an idealized bottom topography

The South China Sea (SCS) is the largest marginal sea in the northwestern Pacific. Several important water gateways exist around the SCS, such as Luzon Strait, Taiwan Strait, etc., that lie in the northeastern SCS, and others like Kalimantan Strait, Balawan Strait, etc., lie in the south. Luzon Strait connects the SCS and Pacific via the Philippine Sea, and its water exchange has significant impact on the interior circulations of the SCS[1]. Since direct observation data about the …     

Detection of the translational oscillations of the Earth''''s solid inner core based on the international superconducting gravimeter observations

Before about 100 years, the layered structures of the Earths body and the existence of the liquid core had been found, then the solid inner core and detailed structures in the interior of the Earth are demonstrated, it proves that the satisfied achievements had been obtained in recogni-tion of the Earths interior structures. In recent years, with the increasing requirements of the basic sciences and space techniques to geodynamics of the Earths interior, the theoretical study and practical de…     

Simple scaling relations in geodynamics： the role of pressure in mantle convection and plume formation

Scaling relations are important in extrapolating laboratory experiments to the Earth‘s mantle. In planetary interiors, compression becomes an important parameter and it is useful to explore scalings that involve volume. I use simple volume scaling relations that allow one to extrapolate laboratory experiments and upper mantle behavior, in a thermodynamically self-consistent way, to predict lower mantle behavior. The relations are similar to the quasi-har-monic approximation. Slabs and plates have characteristic dimensions of hundreds of kilometers and time constants of 100 million years, but the volume scalings predict order of magnitude higher values in the deep mantle. The scaling relations imply that the deep mantle is a sluggish system with ancient features. They imply irreversible chemical stratification and do not favor the plume hypothesis.
