　 16.A World without Oil. 假如世界没有石油 翻译或者阅读课文。 　　1. Have you ever stopped to think how your life would change if the world ran out of oil? Take a look at your day. The roof[n.屋项；顶部] of your home is probably made waterproof[a.不透水的,防水的] by an oil product, bitumen[n.沥青]. The same product is used for the road surface outside your home. Before you leave to go to work or school, just examine[vt.检查；诊察] your surroundings[(surrounding):环境]. Is the room warmer than the cold air outside? Oil, or electricity[n.电；电流] from oil-fed generators[(generator):n.发电机] may be keeping you comfortably[adv.舒适地] warm. If you are comfortably cool in a tropical[adj.热带的] climate[n.气候], your air conditioning unit may also depend on oil-fed generators[(generator):n.发电机]. 1、你曾想过没有，如果世界上用尽了石油，你的生活会发生什么样变化呢？请看一看你的日常生活。你家的屋顶可能是用一种叫沥青的石油产品做成防水的。沥青同样可用来铺你家外面的路面。在你离家去上班或上学之前，请观察一下你周围的环境。房间里会比外面冷空气暖和吗？这是石油或由燃油发电机发出来的电使你感到舒适温暖。如果你在炎热的气候里感到舒适凉爽，那么你家的空调器可能也是靠燃油发电机工作的。 分析：第一句为虚拟语气； run out of =用完； depend on ＝依靠roof＝屋顶； waterproof＝防水；bitumen＝沥青；surface表面； examine＝调查；surroundings＝环境； electricity＝电；oil-fed ＝喂油的，fed－feed过去分词；generator＝发电机；comfortably ＝舒适； tropical＝热带；climate＝气候；air conditioning＝空调； unit ＝装置； 2. In the kitchen and the bathroom you will probably see some plastic[n.adj.塑料(的)] fittings[(fitting):n.装置；设备] such as tiles[(tile):n.瓷砖] and working surfaces[(surface):n.表面]; polystyrene[n.聚苯乙烯] cups; curtains[(curtain):n.窗帘] made from synthetic[a.合成的,人造的;虚假的] materials[(material):n.材料；原料]; disinfectants[(disinfectant):n.消毒剂] and detergents[(detergent):n.洗涤剂]. All owe their origin[n.来源] to the oil known as petroleum[n.石油] (Latin[a.拉丁的 n.拉丁语]/Greek[na.希腊人(语)（的）] petra, rock, and Latin[a.拉丁的 n.拉丁语] oleum, oil[n.油]), found deep in the earth. Look inside the medicine cupboard[n.器皿柜] for more petroleum[n.石油] products[(product):n.产品；成品], medical[adj.医学的；医疗的] paraffin[n.石蜡] and petroleum[n.石油] jelly[n.凡士林]. Cosmetics[n.化妆品] such as face creams, lipsticks[(lipstick):n.唇膏,口红] and hair preparations[(preparation):n.
