The Militarr anders in
Aviation is much more than flying an airplane; it is a whole field of careers in computer and mechanical sciences, communications, education, law, medicine, and management. Avia- tion in the U.S. Armed Services takes place on land and at sea as well as in the air. In the Army, for example, 26 of 212 jobs touch on aviation in some way. These jobs exist in the areas of field artillery, dectronic maintenance and certification, aircraft maintenance, and aviation operations.
Av/on/cs is a key specialty; it focuses on flight-control systems. The word is derived from the old phrase "aviation electronics. " In avionics one might design, build, or maintain the electronic instruments used in flight. These instruments permit communications between air- craft and with the ground, and they control steering, speed, altitude, and even the deploy- ment of an aircrafts weapons. Air traffic-control systems also depend on avionics. These sys- tems track and coordinate the movements of aircraft as they take off and land.
Some aviation jobs in the Armed Services require skills such as medical training. The U.S. Goast Guard, for instance, is dedicated to the patrol and safety of American waters. Rescue crews may have to fly through storms and around obstacles, jump into raging seas, transfer victims to helicopters or ships, and administer first aid. Such work is both physically demanding and extremely dangerous.
Pilots in todays military service operate every kind of aircraft there is, including small helicopters, gigantic transport planes, fighter jets, and the space shuttle. Military pilots hold the rank of officer and are both well educated and highly trained. In the Navy, future pilots must have earned a bachelors degree before they may attend Aviation Officer Candidate School. Their basic flight and navigation training includes academic study and physical-fitness training as well as flying lessons. The next phases of training are designed to improve their skills and prepare them for specific missions.
For some eager pilots, the sky will never be the limit. Many of these aficionados of flight see the military as the direct road to outer space, as astronauts; but not all astronauts are pi- lots, of course. Mission and payload specialists are responsible for equipment maintenance, care of the astronauts health and needs, and scientific research conducted in space.
前言/序言
閱讀既是理解和吸收語言文化信息的重要手段之一,又是語言文化信息的最便捷的輸入源。我國教育部新製定的全日製義務教育和普通高級中學《英語課程標準》對學生的閱讀技能從三級到九級提齣瞭明確的要求。在目前國內外的各種英語測試中,閱讀理解所占的比重越來越大。為此,我們特嚮你推薦“中學英語拓展閱讀叢書”(Timed Readings Plus)。本叢書含有以下3個子係列:社會科學(Social.Studies)、自然科學(.Science)及數學(Mathematics),由上海外語教育齣版社從美國McGraw Hill Glencoe公司引進齣版。社會科學和自然科學各有10個分冊,社會科學每冊有24課,自然科學每冊有25課,每課兩篇閱讀材料;數學有5個分冊,每冊有15課,每課兩篇閱讀材料。本叢書語言地道,知識麵廣,信息量大,能有效訓練學生的閱讀理解能力,提高他們的閱讀速度。每課的第一篇閱讀材料篇幅長400單詞左右,側重訓練學生的快速閱讀能力;閱讀理解題則主要檢查學生是否能在快速閱讀後掌握閱讀材料中的事實和材料所傳達的思想。每課中的第二篇閱讀材料較短,著重訓練學生的閱讀技巧,如:從上下文中猜測生詞的含義,找齣作者的觀點,得齣中心思想,排列事件順序,推斷作者的論點等。因此,我們認為它是一套訓練學生閱讀速度及閱讀理解能力並能同時開拓他們視野的拓展型叢書,適閤外國語學校初二及以上年級學生和非外國語學校高中學生課內、外使用。
怎樣使用本係列叢書呢?我們有以下的一些閱讀策略供大傢參考。
1.閱讀時,要集中注意力。
2.用一分鍾閱讀標題,並思考以下問題:我是否瞭解這一話題?我從這個話題中能學到什麼?這個話題引起瞭我怎樣的思考?
3.重點閱讀文章第一句和最後一句,因為第一句和最後一句往往是作者提齣自己觀點和總結全文觀點的關鍵句子。
4.快速閱讀全文以獲得材料所傳達給你的信息。如遇到含有姓名、日期或數字等的內容,你應該放慢速度,以便記住這些內容。
怎樣纔是一個快速閱讀者?
