肺炎疫情:新冠病毒到底哪来的?科学界的几种说法
Please watch the following videos and reading pg. 146-153 of Cultural Landscape for the questions below, thanks!
1. What forms of power would have moved boats 2,000 years ago?
2. Based on Figure 5-3, which four other languages with at least 5 million speakers belong to the same language family, branch, and group as English?
3. Sino-Tibetan is the second-most widely used language family, but it appears on Figure 5-6 to encompass a smaller land area than several other language families. Why is this the case?
4. Most languages are named for regions or countries. For example, based on their names, how would you expect the distribution of Austronesian and Austro-Asiatic to differ?
Questions (Please complete them for homework if you did not finish them during classroom time, thank you!)
1. Looking carefully at the body language in the Big Three photograph, what does the picture tell you about each man. What does it tell you about the relationship between them.
2. Compare Stalin’s Two Worlds speech of 1946 to Churchills Iron Curtin Speech, what are the similarities and differences between the two in predicting or outlining the future of the world.
3. Using the map on pg 124 Chapter 6, what connections can you make between the policy of containment, the Truman Doctrine, and the Marshall Plan.
