第三篇:国际学术交流英语_讲稿以及问答_PM2.5
Morning ladies and gentlemen,it is a great honor for me to be here to do my presentation, today I want to say something about air pollution-PM2.5.As the beginning of my presentation, I’ll show several pictures of foggy cities.Can you guess where is this picture taken from? Yes, it’s the Oriental Pearl in Shanghai.And this place is the Palace Museum in Beijing.This picture is no better than the former two.Ok, let’s come back to my theme.There’re four parts in my presentation.First I will introduce something of PM2.5.Then I’ll tell you how PM2.5 does harm to us, and what we can do to protect us from it.The last but the most important is what we need do to control the pollution.Do you know how small the PM2.5 is? Look at this picture, this is the fine beach sand, its diameter is about 90 micrometers, this is a piece of human hair, the blue ball is PM10, and the red ball is PM2.5.From the picture, we can draw the conclusion that, the diameter of PM10 is one fifth of hair’s, PM2.5 is one forth of PM10, then you can imagine how small the PM2.5 is.So scientists usually use PM2.5 to show the content of particulate in per cubic meter of air.The higher the index is, the more harmful to people.This map shows the PM2.5 all over the world, on the map, the heaviest polluted areas are located in the northeast part of China.If you want to know more about the details, look at this map.Unfortunately, Jinan is listed as one of the heaviest polluted cities in China.Then where is PM2.5 from? I think there are 4 main resources. Daily power generation Industrial production Automotive exhaust emission Dust on the construction sites How does PM2.5 dose harm to us? It does harm to our respiratory system and cardiovascular system.If you are exposed in high density of PM2.5, that may cause DNA damage and increase the risk of lung cancer.So when it comes to protection, we should wear PM2.5 mouth-muffle, chooses public transport, smoke less or don’t smoke, and don’t exercise in fog day morning.To reduce the density of PM2.5, the fundamental measures are as follows: Control the pollution source Planting Using the monitoring network Setting spray equipment
I hope that in 10 years,20 years, our sky will be like this.Thank you for your attention~
Q:如果没有人为的空气污染,那么在空气中的PM2.5浓度是多少啊 If there is no pollution, what is the concentration of PM2.5 A:即使没有人为污染,空气中也有一定浓度的PM2.5.这个浓度称为背景浓度。大约是3-5微克每立方米
Even if there is no man-made pollution, also have a certain density of PM2.5 in the air.The concentration is called background。It is about 3 to 5 milligrams per cubic meter
Q: 从我们的专业角度讲,我们能做什么?对于一些大城市出现的汽车限购政策,你认为是一个好的措施吗?
From the point of view of professional,what can we do for the pm2.5 problem?Do you think the restriction policy
of automobile in many cities is a good measure?
A:从一定程度上可以减少排放量,是一个措施,但不一定是适合所有城市。
We should develop advanced engine technology and after treatment technique to reduce the pm2.5 emission.Q:Distinguished Professor Li, do you think we can control the pm2.5 pollution successfully? A: No Q:so what is the significance of the control of pm2.5? A:actually it is impossible in china,just as the horizon, you can see it, but you can never get it.Q:so did you mean the control of pm2.5 is just of more psychological importance? A: yes, i did

[练习]
1.Many of our young workers ___ proper training.?
A.are lacking inB.are lackingC.lack forD.lack in[A]
2.We tried to settle the problem with them as soon as possible, but they seemed to____ sincerity.A.lack ofB.be lack ofC.lack inD.be lacking in(D)
3.Though________ money, his parents managed to send him to university.A.lackedB.lacking ofC.lackingD.lacked in
<解答> Though lacking money是Though they are lacking money的省略句,其中lack是vt.。
4.Keep him at arm's length, as he is a guy being lacking ______ honesty.A.ofB.onC.inD.about(C)
5.That was another example of _____ experience.A.a lack ofB.lack fromC.their lack forD.their lack of
<解答>.D lack作及物动词时,后面直接用名词或代词做宾语;作不及物动词时常和for连用;作名词时常和of搭配使用。
6.--What caused the failure of the experiment?
--_____.(C)
A.Because of shortage of fundB.For lack of fundC.Lack of fundD.Due to lack of fund
7.The boss praised the young man for his hard work, though he ____ experience.A.is lack ofB.is lacking inC.lacks ofD.is lacking of
此题答案选B,be lacking in是习语,意为“缺乏”,其后通常接experience, frankness, courage等抽象名词。选A是错误的,因为lack可用做名词和动词,但不用做形容词;选C是错误的,因为lack用做动词时,它是及物动词,其后不用介词(注:用做名词的 lack后可接介词of);选D是错误的,因为没有be lacking of这个搭配。
8.I'm sorry, We're ________that kind of trousers.Would you come back next week?
A.shortB.lackingC.in needD.short of(D)
[案例1.]
1.He can’t endure the lack of food.2.He can’t endure a lack of food.3.He can’t endure lack of food.Are they all correct?
Yes, they are, but number 3 would not be heard very often, simply because it's not so easy to say
smoothly.You need a hard stop between “endure” and “lack,” so even if you mean to say that, it tends to come out as “endure-uh lack.”
[案例2.]
The authorities declared that because of the war petrol was _____ and had to be rationed(定量供应).A.inadequateB.rareC.lackedD.scarce
[答] D.scarce.汽油供不应求,因此必须定量配给。
Scarce(=not available in sufficient quantity, not equal to the demand)不充足的,缺乏的,供不应求的。Inadequate 不适应的,不充分的。
lackvt./vi.(=be without;not have;have less than enough of)缺乏;没有;缺少,例如:
1)He lacks perseverance.(他缺乏坚定性。)
2)Money is lacking for the plan.(此计划尚缺钱。)
3)He is lacking in courage.(他缺乏勇气。)
be lacking in 常指缺乏某种品质、特点等。
lack作及物动词时,一般不用被动语态,故不能选C.lacked.4)They lacked for nothing.(他们什么也不缺。)有人认为,lack for是美国英语。
[案例3.]
I am lacking of practice or I am lacking practice.BE:正常表达的方式是:
“I haven't given a massage for a long time.I'm out of practice.”
If you want to use the verb “to lack”:
“I lack practice” or I'm lacking in practice“.[案例4.]
1.Lacking money, he couldn't spend his holiday in Shanghai this summer.2.Lacking in money, he couldn't spend his holiday in Shanghai this summer.Q:这两句是否都对?
答:1句对(lack sth.);2句错(但语法结构并不错be lacking in sth.).句2类似结构的关键是 be lacking in + quality
Lacking in courage, he would never leave home.Totally lacking in charm, he could not attract the audience.注:However, this is still not very idiomatic.I would expect:
Because he was lacking in courage, he never left home.[注意事项]
1.There is no lack of … 总用is/was单数形式
2.For lack of 里没有the
【问题探究】He is lack of money.问:lack 是名词,这里似乎是不能放be动词后的吧?
答:That’s water.名词有时也能用在be动词后。这似乎有些题外了。当然本题句是错误的,下面的都对:
1.He lacks money [lacks = verb]
2.He has a lack of money [lack = noun]
3.He is lacking in money [lacking = adjective]
”He is lack of money.“(X)
”He suffers from a lack of money/confidence /personality/etc.“(”Lack“ = noun.)(V)
”I can't meet you today for lack of time.“(”Lack“ = noun.)(V)
”Lacking“ 可以是adjective, 常用于be lacking in sth.结构。且那sth.应该是抽象的事物,故上面的句3也错误了。
题目句是错的。可以说: ”He is lacking money“ 或 ”he lacks money“.如果说 ”He is...“(如 ”He is a teacher“)那么就是在描述他什么, 也就是他自己不能是(a lack)< he cannot himself be 'a lack'>
有时人们把lack用与这样的句子,如 ”He lacks common sense/initiative“.'To lack' 是个很华丽的古英语动词, 但现在人们也许更可能用 ”He has no...".
