Air travel
Mechanical engineers
Tiny robots will inspect and fix jet engines from the inside
航空旅行
机械工程师
微型机器人将从内部检修喷气式发动机
IF YOU are reading this while sitting in an aircraft and are of a nervous disposition， do not be alarmed， but the temperature inside the jet engines keeping you aloft probably exceeds the melting point of the materials that those engines are made from. That they do not consequently turn into a molten mess is a feat of modern engineering. It involves a combination of tough alloys and advanced production techniques， such as 3D printing， which allow components to be made with tiny channels through which cooling air circulates. Parts exposed to the most extreme temperatures， which can reach more than 1，300°C， are given additional protection with a coating of special heat-resisting ceramics.
如果你看这篇文章时正在坐飞机，而你是个比较容易紧张的人，请不要因为接下来的文字而惊慌：带你在高空飞行的喷气式发动机内部的温度之高，可能要超过发动机制造材料的熔点。但发动机并没有因此而熔化成一堆烂铁，实在是现代工程技术的一项重大成就。这包括坚固的合金和先进的生产工艺，比如3D打印。3D打印能制造出带有细微通道的零部件，冷却用的空气可在这些通道中流通。那些暴露在最极端温度——可能超过1300°C——中的零部件还会被包裹上一层特殊的耐热陶瓷，作为额外的保护措施。
New jet engines are designed to run hot because that results in a more complete combustion， which lowers fuel consumption and cuts emissions. Hot engines， though， need nurturing. Nowadays the three big aircraft-engine makers， General Electric （GE）， Rolls-Royce and Pratt &...
出国留学网托福频道为参加新托福考试的考生提供托福培训辅导, 公布2014年托福考试时间、费用、托福报名动态,提供托福满分,听力,词汇,口语,阅读,写作,托福机经等新托福考试。
说起英语阅读，各位同学从初中以后就开始接触，它的重要性在各类考试中均占了很大的比重!可以说战胜阅读就是征服了考试!特别是托福阅读，因为托福考试中，第一项就是考阅读，如果做不好。会巧妙地影响后面的其他考试情绪!如果做的好，会信心百倍地考其他内容!我从事阅读教学十年，根据多年的经验把阅读分成三个层次，请各位同学对号入座!
A： 原始人阶段---能够准确的认出所读的文字，能够读出文章的语意内容和编排结构等。
B： 白领阶段---会看懂同义词或同意转述，能够准确明白所接触的词汇句子的含义等。
C： 土豪阶段---通过所读懂的句子进行判断，分析，推断，归纳等的过程。
托福阅读如果想考到20-25分，达到B 阶段就可以! 但是如果想当土豪，就必须达到C 阶段的阅读能力!很不幸的是，我们很多同学处在A阶段，甚至是A--阶段，就是说词汇还没有背完!托福词汇量核心要有6000以上，越多越好!如果这个没有，可以说就很难考到一个理想的阅读分数!
那么，想在短期内想达到C 阶段，有没有可能呢?当然有方法!就是要做精读托福文章!所谓的精读就是快速把握文章中的重要信息和内容，准确提高对字词，句篇的分析能力和解读能力，通过结合相关考点提高其准确性和速度，理解材料中的难点和要点并进行归纳推断判断等能力!最后达到人文合一的境界!
STEP1, 词汇要求各位同学每天至少浏览200-300个单词，争取一个月内识别6000+个单词，越多越好!市面上有很多背单词的书籍，大家可以用来研读，肯定会提高背词能力的!
STEP2, 迅速去掉修饰，直达主干结构。如动词不定时，现在分词，过去分词，关系词等技巧处理。
STEP3，迅速识别特殊句式：如省略句式，倒装句式，强调句式，插入句式，分割句式等
STEP4, 提高对某些重点句子的理解：如带转折的句子，带归纳字眼的句子，带概括动词的句子，设问的句子，段首段末句式等
STEP5,文章的整体把握阅读，什么地方快速阅读，什么地方慢速阅读，要达到快慢结合，重点突出，最后达到我们阅读杂志或报纸的程度!
掌握以上方法，可在最短时间内迅速提高阅读速度和理解力，该方法称为“直捷阅读法”。
掌握该方法，阅读可秒杀!
