THE OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY You may think that English dictionaries have been used for many, many centuries. The spelling of English has always been a problem but it was more of a problem in the days before a dictionary. Then people could spell word in different ways which you might find it interesting. But it made reading English much more difficult. So dictionaries were invented to encourage everybody tospell the same. In fact, an English dictionary like the kind you use today wasn’t made until the time of the late Qing Dynasty. There men did most of the important early work on dictionaries: Samuel Johnson, Noah Webster, and James Murray. These men spent nearly all of their lives trying to collect words for their dictionaries. For them, it wasn’t only a job; it was a wonderful journey of discovery. The largest dictionary in the world is the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED for short. The idea for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor of its new dictionary.Murray had never been to college. At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. Later he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray hada place built in the garden behind his house to do his work. Part of it was one meter underground. In winter it felt like a barn, he had to wear a heavy coat and put his feet in a box to keep warm. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o’clock and worked several hours efore breakfast. Often he would work by the candle light into the evening. Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was still adding words for the letter A! then others went to work with Murray, including his two daughters. He worked on the dictionary until he was very old. Forty-four years later, in1928, other editors finished it. It included more than 15,000 pages in twelve books. And you thought your dictionary was big!

At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. Later he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray hada place built in the garden behind his house to do his work. Part of it was one meter underground. In winter it felt like a barn, he had to wear a heavy coat and put his feet in a box to keep warm. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o’clock and worked several hours efore breakfast. Often he would work by the candle light into the evening. Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was still adding words for the letter A! then others went to work with Murray, including his two daughters. He worked on the dictionary until he was very old.

2.1 项目由来

随着我国经济的发展,电力供应紧张问题已日益突出,采用绿色环保能源,提高我国居民生活环境,实现我国可持续发展,已成为我国经济发展的主轴。全球能源供给形势日趋紧张,全球气候变暖也严重威胁经济发展和人类的生存环境,世界各国都在寻求新的能源替代战略,以求实现可持续发展,并在日后的发展中获取优势地位。而环境状况的恶化也正提出警示,再不加大清洁能源和可再生能源的份额,世界的经济发展速度也将受到威胁。提高可再生能源利用率,发展太阳能发电是改善生态、保护环境的有效途径。

纵观国际形势的变化,煤、石油、天然气等不可再生资源在很大程度上影响着世界经济格局的变化。然而,能源危机是制约可持续发展的关键因素,不可再生资源产生的废气(CO2和SO2)对大气所产生的环境污染和温室效应使人类的生存环境不断地恶化。为了解决“能源危机”和“环境污染”这两个迫在眉睫的问题,人们将眼光投向 “取之不尽、用之不竭”的绿色无污染的太阳能。太阳能光伏发电以其清洁、源源不断、安全等显著优势,成为关注重点。利用我国的荒漠资源发展光伏电站,充分利用土地资源,变废为宝,是保障我国能源供应战略安全,大幅减

live in the mountains of the eastern USA speak with an older kind of English dialect. When Americans moved from one place to another, they took their dialects with them. So people from the mountains in the southeastern USA speak with almost the same dialects as people in the northwestern USA. The USA is a large country in which many different dialects are spoken. Although many Americans move a lot, they still recognize and understand each other’s dialects. THE OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY You may think that English dictionaries have been used for many, many centuries. The spelling of English has always been a problem but it was more of a problem in the days before a dictionary. Then people could spell word in different ways which you might find it interesting. But it made reading English much more difficult. So dictionaries were invented to encourage everybody tospell the same. In fact, an English dictionary like the kind you use today wasn’t made until the time of the late Qing Dynasty. There men did most of the important early work on dictionaries: Samuel Johnson, Noah Webster, and James Murray. These men spent nearly all of their lives trying to collect words for their dictionaries For them, it wasn’t only a job; it was a wonderful journey of discovery. The largest dictionary in the world is the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED for short. The idea for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor of its new dictionary.Murray had never been to college. At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. Later he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray hada place built in the garden behind his house to do his work. Part of it was one meter underground. In winter it felt like a barn, he had to wear a heavy coat and put his feet in a box to keep warm. Every moning, Murray got out of bed at five o’clock and worked several hours before breakfast. Often he would work by the candle light into the evening. Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was still adding words for the letter A! then others went to work with Murray, including his two daughters. He worked on the dictionary until he was very old. Forty-four years later, in1928, other editors finished it. It included more than 15,000 pages in twelve books. And you thought your dictionary was big!

人类从地球表面采集的能源约99.98%来自太阳能。那么我们地球太阳能的能量倒底大到什么程度?折合成电能约为177×10KW,这一数值比全世界平均消费的电能还在大数十万倍。也就是说,即使用于文明活动的总能量比现在的数值再大几倍,其程度也就相当于太阳黑子活动所引起的到达地面后的能量所产生的误差一样小,而且这一能源是不会枯竭的。光伏发电将在二十一世纪前半期超过核电成为最重要的基础能源

2.2 项目建设的必要性

(1)项目建设符合国家产业发展政策

2006年1月9日,胡锦涛总书记在全国科学技术大会上的讲话中特别提到:要把发展能源、水资源和环境保护技术放在优先位置。

温家宝总理在谈到我国《十一五规划纲要》时特别指示:“要把发展能源资源和环境保护技术放在优先位置”。他在考察无锡尚德太阳能电力有限公司时指出:“太阳能技术关系到中国的能源战略,要大力发展这一产业!”

2009年2月4日温家宝总理主持召开了国务院常务会议,审议并原则通过装备制造业调整振兴规划,会议指出,装备制造业是为国民经济各行业提供技术装备的战略性产业,加快振兴装备
