11、magnetism(磁力)of earthThis extra sense probably helps animals predict earthquakesA good example of this occurred with a group of dogsThey were closed in an area that was being shaken by a series of tiny earthquakesBefore each quake a low booming sound was heardEach sound caused the dogs to bark(吠)wil

12、dlyThe dogs began to bark during a silent period! A scientist who was recording the quakes looked at his machineHe realized that the dogs had reacted to a booming noiseThey also sensed the tiny quake that followed itThe machine recorded boththough humans felt and heard nothingIn this case there was

19、f they form in the Atlantic，we call these strong storms hurricanes，from the West Indian word hurricane，meaningbig windAnd if they are Pacific storms，they are called typhoons from the Chinese taifun，meaninggreat windTo be classified as a hurricane，the storm must have maximum winds of at least 75 mph.

20、These storms are big，many hundreds of miles in diameter3Hurricanes get their power from water vapor as it gwes out its storedup energyAll water vapor gives out heat as it condenses(凝结)from a gaseous state to a liquid state over fixed points on the equator(赤道)To make a hurricane，you must have extreme

21、ly wet，warm all the kind of air that can only be found in tropical regions4 Scientists have determined that the heat given out in the process of water condensation can be as high as 95 billion kilowatts per hourIn just one day alone，the storm can produce more energy than many industrialized nations

22、need in an entire year!The problem is that we dont know how to make such great energy work for us5Predicting the path of a hurricane is one of the most difficult tasks for forecastersIt moves at a typical speed of l5 mphBut not alwaysSome storms may race along at twice this speed， then suddenly stop

23、 and remain in the same location in the ocean for several daysIt can be maddening(发疯的)if you live in a coastal area that may be hit6The biggest advance in early detection is continuous watch from weather satellitesWith these，we can see the storms form and track them fully,from birth to deathWhile th

29、 circulated(传播)among the public says that up to now scientists do not really know enough to guarantee there are no ill effects on humans from electromagnetic radiationAccording to Robert Bell，there are 3.3 million mobile phones in Australia alone and they are increasing by 2，000 a dayBy the year 200

30、0 it is estimated that Australia will have 8million mobile phones：nearly one for every two peopleAs well，there are 2，000 transmitter towers around Australia，many in high density(密度) residential areasFor example,Telstra，Optus and Vodaphone build their towers where it is geographically suitable to the

31、m and disregard the need of the communityThe electromagnetic radiation emitted from these towers may have already produced some harmful effccts on the health of the residents nearbyRobert Bell suggests that until more research is completed the Govemment should ban construction of phone towers from w

32、ithin a 500 meter radius (半径)of school grounds，child carecenters，hospitals，sports playing fields and residential areas with a high percentage of childrenHe says there is emerging evidence that children absorb low1evel radiation at a rate more than three times that of adultsHe adds that there is also

33、 evidence that if cancer sufierers are subjected to electromagnetic waves the growth rate of the disease accelerates(提高)Robert Bell calls on the major telephone companies to fund adequate research and urges(敦促)the Government to set up a wide ranging inquiry into possible health effects31 According t

37、 no more phone towers should be constructed.第二篇 A Thirsty WorldThe world is not only hungry，it is also thirsty for waterThis may seem strange to you，since nearly 75of the earths surface is covered with waterBut about 97of this huge amount is sea-water，or salt waterMan can only drink and use the othe

38、r 3-the flesh water that comes from rivers，lakes，underground，and other sources And we cannot even use all of that，because some of it is in the form of icebergs(冰山)and glaciers(冰川)Even worse，some of it has been pollutedAt the moment，this small amount of fresh water is still enough for usHowever,our n

39、eed for water is increasing rapidlyOnly if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later onA limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industryIn addition to stopping wasting our precious water,one useful step we should take is

40、 to develop ways of reusing itExperiments have already been done in this field，but only on a small scale.Today,in most large cities，water is used only once and it eventually returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanksBut it is possible to pipe water that has been used to a purifying(净化

41、)plantThere it can be filtered(过滤)and treated with chemicals so that it can be used againjust as if it were flesh from a springBut even if every large city purified and reused its water,we still would not have enough.Where could we turn next?To the oceans!A11 wed have to do to make use of the vast a

46、 see far beyond your cars windshield (挡风玻璃).Can this be route 90A?you wonder.If it is ,you should be near a town.Yet theres no hint of one. Night is closing in.And youre low on gasoline.This is a situation where an in -car computer that can navigate would be a big help.A car computer that navigates?

47、Yes!Such computers exist . Several experimental models are being tested by General Motors,Ford,Chrysler,and several foreign car makers.These computers vary in detail. But they all contain series of maps on videodiscs or videotapes.For example,one computer system contains 13,300 maps covering the con

48、tinental US.Before starting out on a trip,a driver can type in the code for the region he or she plans to drive through.The computer then shows a map of theat region.At the same time,a tiny radio receiver linked to the computer goes to work. It picks up signals from navigation satellites such as the

49、 NAVSTAR network.Using these signals,the computer shows the cars position at all times and displays this position on the map.The computer can dalso calculate and display the best route to follow.A navigation computer may also receive and use data about road construction, weather conditions,and traff

50、ic jams.This information would be displayed to the driver and the computer would also use the information to work out alternate(交替的)routes.Most cars nowadays also contain computers that help cars run more efficiently. Microprocessors(微处理机)control certain engine functions by regulating the mixing of

51、fuel.Data on car speed,oil pressure,revolutions per minute,enginete mperature , and fuel level can be displayed as digital data (numbers) or warning lights.Some auto designers suggest that a central computer display be used to clearly present such timely information as car speed and fuel level.Warni

52、ng lights would indicate a drop in oil pressure or a sudden rise in engine temperature.To get more information on these conditions,the driver could call it up on the computer display screen.When needed,the computer could be askedto provide navigation aid or information about the cars condition.41 By

53、 describing a typical situation of a lost driver on the road,the arthor intends toA make us believe how complex the highway computer network is.B let us know how in-car computers are linked to road signs.C show us how helpful a navigation computer can be.D tell us that NAVSTAR has come into use.42 T
