百三十五句

It is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that sets lead safety levels for drinking water utilities, although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises there is no safe amount of lead once it gets into the bloodstream.

思考题:

EPA regulates the safety standards for lead in the drinking water.

词汇突破:

1.lead 铅 (这个真的是必考词汇)

2. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 美国环保署

3. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 食品与药物管理局

4. drinking water utilities 饮用水的公共设施 (这个是解题的关键信息)

切分:

1.It is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that sets lead safety levels for drinking water utilities,

2.although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advises there is no safe amount of lead once it gets into the bloodstream.

参考译文:

尽管美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)建议,一旦进入血液中,就不存在铅的安全含量这一说了,但美国环境保护局(EPA)为饮用水公用设施设定了铅的安全标准。

思考题:

EPA regulates the safety standards for lead in the drinking water.

其中:regulate 可以等于set;

Safety standards= safety level

但是:drinking water ≠drinking water utilitites

所以这个说法是错的!

试想一下:这瓶水含铅量是安全的。谁也不敢喝啊。

顶多说这个水管含铅是多少,但是不会到水里去,是安全的。

这是我模仿昨天的mobile content ≠ mobile 设计出来的一个题目。

希望能帮到大家。

明天的句子:

In his latest book, Doing Our Own Thing: The Degradation of Language and Music and Why We Should, Like, Care, John McWhorter, a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservative views, sees the triumph of 1960s counter-culture as responsible for the decline of formal English.

Mr. McWhorter’s academic speciality is language history and change, and he sees the gradual disappearance of “whom,” for example, to be natural and no more regrettable than the loss of the case-endings of Old English.

思考题:

According to McWhorter, the decline of formal English ________.

[A] is inevitable in radical education reforms

[B] is but all too natural in language development

[C] has caused the controversy over the counter-culture

[D] brought about changes in public attitudes in the 1960s
