B.Subordination
to change some clauses into subordinate clauses,if they are of less importance.
C.Phrase
to substitute the clauses in the original sentence.

All the techniques mentioned above
Improve the following stringy sentences by any method or combination of methods.
1.We must accept the facts and our enormous energy requirements,but it is also important not to forget that attempts to economize on safety provisions in such hazardous industries result in increased risks,and these increased risks may result in terrible tragedy,even in disasters whose consequences exceed national boundaries,although it is certainly true that a nuclear power station working safely,without accident,is ecologically one of the cleanest of all industrial plants.

Valentine’s Day
Part A February14th is a complicated but interesting holiday.First of all,Valentine’s Day is not a holiday from work.No one gets a day off.On Valentine’s Day people usually send romantic cards to someone they love.The cards are called valentines.They are very colorful,often decorated with hearts,flowers or birds,and have humorous or sentimental verses printed inside.The basic message of the verse is always“Be My Valentine,”“Be My Sweetheart”or“Be My Lover.”Besides cards,a valentine could also be a heart-shaped box of chocolate candies,or a bouquet of flowers tied with red ribbon.But in whatever form,the message is always the same–“Will you be my valentine?”A valentine may be anonymous,or sometimes signed“Guess who.”The person
receiving it has to guess who sent it.This can lead to interesting speculation.And that’s half the fun of valentines.
One of the symbols of St.Valentine’s Day is the Roman God of Love,called Cupid.Cupid is often printed on the card,a winged naked infant,poised to shoot his arrow into a heart.He would shoot an arrow of love into a person’s heart to make the person fall in love immediately,maybe with the first person to come along.Sometimes one arrow would go through two hearts,holding them together.So on February14th not only do we have a picture of the Christian St.Valentine but we also have pictures of the non-Christian Cupid,the Roman God of Love.
Part B It is from the Christians that we get the stories about Valentine’s Day that most people have come to believe.One story is about a Christian priest whose name was“Valentine.”He lived around250AD.At that time the Roman Emperor Claudius refused to allow any Roman soldiers to get married for any reason whatsoever.So many Roman soldiers turned to Christianity.Together with their girls,they came to Valentine to be married secretly in a Christian https://www.doczj.com/doc/b04499462.html,ter Valentine was discovered and put in prison by the Roman Emperor.One tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out the window of his prison.The leaves were shaped like a heart.
There are many favorite lyrics of Valentine’s Day.Here is one of them:Let me call you sweetheart, I’m in love with you.Let me hear you whisper,that you love me,too.Keep the love light shining, in your eyes so true.Let me call you sweetheart,I’m in love with you.

But even if it were safe, would it be right? Let's hear what Professor Hank Greely of Stanford University has to say on this topic . Interviewer: When will we clone a human? Greely: That's not a simple question. I think we have to ask ourselves: is there something about the technology that is so wrong or so evil that it shouldn't be used at all? Or should it be judged according to its intended uses? Interviewer: What are acceptable uses? Greely: We really need to distinguish between different types of cloning. If we use cloning to grow a new liver, I don't think many people will have problems with that

一、选择填空，从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个能填入空白处的最佳选项。（每题10分） 题目1 正 题干 –The advancement of technology has boosted the pace of our lives, and requires us to learn something new every day. –I have chosen the online program at OU. 选择一项： A. Because B. Now that C. That is the reason why 正确 答案：C 解析：本题考核“进一步说明”的交际用法。第一个说话者并未提问，所以不需要回答原因之类内容，第二个说话者是在表述自己的观点，That is the reason why是一个同位语从句的常用句式，往往用来进一步解释，在这里表示第二个说话者同意第一个人的观点，并进一步加以解释。所以答案是C。 正确答案是：That is the reason why 题目2 题干 –What are your great strengths? – 选择一项： A. I am very shy. B. My job offers me high income. C. I am very active in discussion. 正确 答案：C 解析：本题考核“谈论优势”的交际用法。问话者询问对方最大的优势是什么，答话者应该说出自己的优点，选项A表达的是性格，不是优点，选项B表述的是其工作的优势。所以答案是C。 正确答案是：I am very active in discussion. 题目3 题干 _________ the regular classes, you can also attend many different seminars and take part in many extracurricular activities. 选择一项： A. Except for B. Including C. Apart from 正确 答案：C 译文：除了常规课，你还可以参加很多不同的讨论和课外活动。 解析：表示“除了”这个意思的词汇很多，但是含义不同，except和except for表示“除……外”，含有不包括之意；besides和apart from表示“除了……，还有……”，实际上表示两者都包含。因此选C。

Unit 8 Architecture Part I Warming up A. Tapescript: For hundreds of years, it has been an imperial capital of Europe. Its rulers raided the Western world to enrich the coffers of the empire. They spent their wealth on magnificent palaces and grand public buildings. They built an opera house that rivals any in Europe. They founded great museums and libraries. They constructed massive, ornate government buildings. And they raised opulent palaces for themselves.A tour of Vienna is a tour of these monuments to excess. Take Schonbrunn Palace, for instance. The Palace's Million Room, named after the cost of the decorations -- 1 million guilders, is a Rococo masterpiece. Inset in the paneling are 260 rare miniatures of Indo-Persian heritage. The frames are real gold leaf, and the paneling is precious wood.
