地質學專業(yè)英語

內容概要

隨著我國大學本科教育的日益普及，社會對于大學畢業(yè)生的的培養(yǎng)質量有了更高的期待；隨著國際交流的增多，—些領域，例如地質礦產領域，對地質學專業(yè)本科生英語水平的要求也不斷提高，因此，當前地質學教育的大事之—就是大力加強地質學專業(yè)學生的英語教育，提高他們的英語水平。大量具有良好專業(yè)英語基礎的畢業(yè)生可以為培養(yǎng)地學領域高端人才提供更為廣闊的空間。具備較好的地質學專業(yè)英語基礎的學生更加有興趣參與國際學術會議并直接與國外同行進行面對面的交流，通常會更加主動地追蹤地質學研究領域的新信息。    《地質學專業(yè)英語》是中國地質大學（北京）自1989年在國內開展地質學領域的專業(yè)英語教學以來，地質專業(yè)和大學英語教師通力合作的成果。這本教材改變了傳統(tǒng)的專業(yè)英語教材的做法，具有新穎的形式和內容。它以基礎地質為內容重點，涉及古氣候學、古海洋學、古地理學、大地構造演化、地質災害、地球環(huán)境和地質思維方法等方面。教材具有較強的實用性和前瞻性，能夠基本滿足教與學雙方的最新期望，符合英語語言和地質學專業(yè)的認知特點和規(guī)律，適合高等院校地質學及相關專業(yè)高年級本科生使用。

章節(jié)摘錄

插圖：Fossils tell us practically all we know about extinction. If we had only the livingworld, we would never guess the true extent of past life or realize that the fate of thevast majority of created things has been extinction. The list of losers in the struggle forexistence grows steadily longer. More detailed study will surely offer clues as to the roleof death in the scheme of things.Plants and animals live where they are comfortable and tend to find and remainwith the conditions that are best for their existence. The correlation between organismsand their environments offers the possibility of learning much about past conditions.Fossils can tell us if certain sediments originated in fresh or salt water and if somesandstone originated in a desert or a beach.We now perceive that living things have little control over what goes on in thephysical world. As climates shift, and lands rise, sink, or shift position, their occupantsmust adjust accordingly. Within the last decade, much attention has been given tothe ponderous forces that have split continents apart and welded them together inever-changing aggregations. Without fossils we would be much less sure about whatis going on. It is fossils that gave us the thought that India was once in the southernhemisphere, that Africa and South America were once joined, that Antarctica was oncein a tropical zone, and that the rocks at the very summit of Mount Qomolangma wereformed in the bottom of an ocean 400 million years ago.
