元素周期表抽象而美麗。很多元素在合成過程中只存在瞬間,科學家無法確定其是否存在。但是門捷列夫的發(fā)明按規(guī)律預留了很多空位,使得新元素一旦發(fā)現(xiàn)便能在表上各就各位。沒有人知道元素的數(shù)目最多會達到多少。但是,可以肯定,凡是找到的元素都可以利索地納入那張偉大的圖表~~~

書本的朗讀語音很charming的磁性英音~~~大家可以好好學著模仿哦~~~!!
因為原著為美國人所寫,單詞采用美式拼法,不抄全文,也不用寫序號。答完一空換行繼續(xù)下一空作答。文中需聽寫單詞或詞組用[-No-]表示,句子用[---No---]表示。請邊聽寫邊理解文意,根據(jù)下面的TIPS訓練聽寫。這樣可以提高聽力準確度,并為訓練聽譯打下基礎哦~~~


TIPS聽寫訓練點:單詞拼寫,時態(tài),單復數(shù),連讀,長難句(請邊聽邊用符號先記下內(nèi)容,然后自己回頭組織語句,最后校對,不要逐字逐句聽寫)當然啦,還有很多相當?shù)氐啦诲e的表達方法可以順道一起學到!

For most of us, the periodic table is a thing of beauty in the abstract, but for chemists it established an immediate [-1-] that can hardly be overstated. “Without a doubt, the Periodic Table of the Chemical Elements is [-2-] chart ever devised,” wrote Robert E. Krebs in The History and Use of Our Earth's Chemical Elements, and you can find similar sentiments [-3-] every history of chemistry in print.

Today we have “120 or so” known elements—92 naturally occurring ones plus a couple of dozen that have been created in labs. The actual number is slightly contentious because the heavy, [-4-] elements exist for only millionths of seconds and chemists sometimes argue over whether they have really been detected or not.

No one knows, incidentally, [-7-] , though anything beyond 168 as an atomic weight is considered “purely speculative,” but what is certain is that anything that is found will [-8-] Mendeleyev's great scheme.

對我們大多數(shù)人來說,周期表是一件美麗而抽象的東西,而對化學家來說,它頓時使化學變得有條有理,明明白白,怎么說也不會過分。"毫無疑問,化學元素周期表是人類發(fā)明出來的最優(yōu)美、最系統(tǒng)的圖表。"羅伯特?E.克雷布斯在《我們地球上的化學元素:歷史與應用》一書中寫道--實際上,你在每一部化學史里都可以看到類似的評價。 今天,已知的元素有"120種左右"--92種是天然存在的,還有20多種是實驗室里制造出來的。實際的數(shù)目稍有爭議,那些合成的重元素只能存在百萬分之幾秒,是不是真的測到了,化學家們有時候意見不一。在門捷列夫時代,已知的元素只有63種。之所以說他聰明,在一定程度上是因為他意識到當時已知的還不是全部元素,許多元素還沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)。他的周期表準確地預言,新的元素一旦發(fā)現(xiàn)就可以各就各位。   順便說一句,沒有人知道元素的數(shù)目最多會達到多少,雖然原子量超過168的任何東西都被認為是"純粹的推測";但是,可以肯定,凡是找到的元素都可以利索地納入門捷列夫那張偉大的圖表。
