The Greatest of Victorian Engineers

In the hundred years up to1860,the work of a small group of construction engineers carried forward the enormous social and economic change that we associate with the Industrial Revolution in Britain.The most important of these engineers was Isambard Kingdom Brunel,whose

work in shipping,bridge-building,and railway construction,to name just three fields,both challenged and motivated his colleagues.He was the driving force behind a number of the hugely ambitious projects,some of which resulted in works which are still in use today.

The son of an engineer,Brunel apprenticed with his father at an early age on the building of the Thames Tunnel.At the age of just twenty, he became engineer in charge of the project.This impressive plan to bore under the Thames twice suffered two major disasters when the river broke through into the tunnel when the second breach(决口occurred in1872, Brunel was seriously injured during rescue operation and further work was halted.

While recovering from his injuries,Brunel entered a design competition for a new bridge over the Avon Gorge near Clifton.The original judge of the competition was Thomas Telford,a leading civil engineer of his day,who rejected all entries to the competition in favor of his own design.After considerable scandal,a second contest was held and Brunel's design was accepted.For reasons of funding,however, exacerbated(加

剧by social unrest in Bristol,the project was abandoned in1843with only the towers completed.After Brunel’s death,it was decided to begin work on it again,partly so that the bridge could form a fitting memorial to the great engineer.The entire structure was finally completed in1864.Today,the well-known Clifton Suspension Bridge is a symbol of Bristol,just as the Opera House is of Sydney.Originally intended only for horse-drawn traffic,the bridge now bears over four million motor vehicles a year.

1Since heat naturally moves from hotter regions to cooler ones,the heat from the earth's

center flows outwards towards the surface.In this way,it transfers to the next layer of rock.If the temperature is high enough,some of this rock melts and forms magma(岩

浆.The magma ascends in its turn towards the earth's surface.It often remains well below the earth's surface,creating vast areas of hot rock.In such regions,there are deep cracks,which allow rainwater to descend underground.Some of the heated rainwater travels back up to the earth's surface where it will appear as a hot spring.However,if this ascending hot water reaches a layer of impermeable(不可渗透的rock,it remains trapped,forming a geothermal reservoir.If geothermal reservoirs are close enough to the surface,they can be reached by drilling wells.Hot water and steam shoot up the wells naturally,and can be used to produce electricity in geothermal power plants.2.A few geothermal power plants depend on dry-stem reservoirs which produce steam but little or no water.In these cases,the steam is piped up directly to provide the power to spin a turbine generator.The first geothermal power plant,constructed at Lardarello in Italy,was of this type,and is still producing electricity today.3.Most currently operating geothermal power plants are either "flash"steam plants or binary(双重的plants.Flash plants produce mainly hot water ranging in temperature from 300°to 700°Fahrenheit.This water is passed through one or two separators where released from the pressure of the underground reservoir,it "flashes"or boils into steam Again,the force of this steam provides the energy to spin the turbine and produce electricity.The geothermal water and steam are then reinjected directly back down into the earth to maintain the volume and pressure of the reservoir.Gradually they will be reheated and can then be used again.4.A reservoir with temperatures below 300°Fahrenheit is not hot enough to flash steam but it can still be used to generate electricity in binary fluid.The steam from this is used to power the turbines.As in the flash steam plant,the geothermal water is recycled back into the

第4部分:阅读理解(第31—45题,每题3分,共45分下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容,为每题确定1个最佳选项。

第一篇Sports star Yao Ming【运动明星姚明】

If Yao Ming is not the biggest sports star in the world,he is almost certainly the tallest.At2.26m,he is the tallest player in the National Basketball Association(NBAand holds the record as the most towering Olympian ever to compete in the Games.

But what really stands out about the giant center is his celebrity(名气.Few,if

any,Chinese athletes are as well-known as Yao around the world.People across the globe are fascinated with Yao,not only for his basketball prowess(杰出的才能also for being a symbol of international commerce.

When Yao joined the Houston Rockets as the No.1pick in the 2002NBA draft(选抜,he was the first international player ever to be selected first.His assets on the court are clear enough—no NBA player of his size has ever possessed his mobility,so he is a handful(难对付的人for opponents on either end of the court.But what makes Yao invaluable to the Rockets organization is his role as a global citizen and as a bridge to millions of potential basketball fans in China.

When it was announced in February that Yao would miss the rest of the NBA season and possibly the Olympics with a stress fracture(骨折in his left foot,a collective

shudder(震动spread across China.After considerable debate and discussion,Yao opted to get his foot surgically treated in an operation that placed several tiny screws across the bone,to offer his overburdened foot more support.The surgery was a success,and though the estimated four-month recovery period will leave him little time to prepare with Team China,Yao has vowed to be ready for the Beijing Olympics.

Yao wrapped up a10-day trip to China,where he underwent a series of traditional Chinese medicine(TCMtreatments,hoping to accelerate his recovery process Western experts are generally skeptical of TCM's benefits although new research from the University of Rochester suggests that a certain compound derived from shellfish may indeed stimulate bone repair.

"There is no reason to dismiss TCM,"Yao told a press conference in Beijing."It's been used in our country for thousands of years.I don't think that it's short on science."

36.The word"towering"in Paragraph1means_____

B.he wanted to make a more rapid recovery.

C.the surgical operation had been a failure.

D.he couldn't afford all the medical expenses.

39.Which statement about Yao Ming is NOT true?

A.He missed the Athens Olympics.

B.He is an NBA player.

40.In general,the Western experts'attitude towards TCM is_____.

A.indifferent.

B.positive.

C.negative.

D.doubtful.

第二篇The Sahara【撒哈拉沙漠】

The name Sahara derives from the Arabic word for“desert”or “steppe”.At3.5million square miles,an area roughly the size of the United States,the Sahara Desert in northern Africa is the largest desert in the world.It spans the continent from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. Daytime temperatures can reach as high as130°F.The humidity sometimes

gets into the teens.But it can also be as low as2.5percent,the lowest in the world.Most of the Sahara receives less than five inches of rain per year,while large areas sometimes have no rainfall at all for years.

At the heart of the Sahara is the landlocked north African country of Niger.Here the sand dunes can be100feet tall and several miles long.Here sand plains stretch over an area larger than Germany where there is neither water nor towns.Yet sitting in the midst of the surrounding desert is the town of Bilma.Suddenly there are pools of clear

water.Surprisingly,there are groves of date palms.Underground water resources,or oases,sufficient to support irrigated agriculture are found in dry stream beds and depressions.Irrigation ditches run off a creek to water fields.Corn,cassava,tea,peanuts,hot peppers,and orange,lime, and grapefruit trees grow in these fields.Donkeys and goats graze on green grass.

The Sahara of Niger is still a region where you can see a camel caravan of500camels tied together in loose lines as long as a mile, traveling toward such oasis towns.There a caravan will collect life-sustaining salt,which is mined from watery basins,and transport it up to400miles back to settlements on the edges of the desert.The round trip across the vast sands takes one month.

41.This passage is mostly about________.

Alife in the Sahara Bthe deserts of Africa

CBilma Dhow camels travel in the desert

42.Rainfall in most of the Sahara is________.

Aless than five inches per year

Bless than ten inches per year

43.The Sahara can be described as______

Aa place of contrasts

Ba place where no one lives

Can area where the winters are cold

Dan area that appeals to many tourists

44.The phrase“an area roughly the size of the United States”gives a n indication of the size of________.

Anorthern Africa BNiger Cthe Sahara Dall of Africa

45.In this passage caravan means________.

Atraveling circus

Bgroup traveling together through difficult country

Crailroad train

Da small,fast sailing ship

第三篇Older volcanic eruption

Volcanoes were more destructive in ancient history,not because they were bigger,but because the carbon dioxide they released wiped out life with greater ease.

Paul Wignall from the University of Leeds was investigating the link between volcanic eruptions and mass extinctions.Not all volcanic eruptions killed off large numbers of animals,but all the mass extinctions over the past300million years coincided

with huge formations of volcanic rock.To his surprise,the older the massive volcanic eruptions were,the more damage they seemed to do.He calculated the"killing efficiency"for these volcanoes by comparing the proportion of life they killed off with the volume of lava that they produced.He found that size for size,older eruptions were at least10times as effective at wiping out life as their more recent rivals.

The Permian extinction,for example,which happened250million years ago,is marked by floods of volcanic rock in Siberia that cover an area roughly the size of western Europe.Those volcanoes are thought to have pumped out about10gigatonnes of carbon as carbon dioxide.The global warming that followed wiped out80per cent of all marine genera at the time,and it took5million years for the planet to recover.Yet60 million years ago,there was another huge amount of volcanic activity and global warming but no mass extinction.Some animals did disappear but things returned to normal within ten thousands of years."The most recent ones hardly have an effect at all,"Wignall says.He ignored the extinction which wiped out the dinosaurs65million years ago,because many scientists believe it was primarily caused by the impact of an asteroid.He thinks that older volcanoes had more killing power because more recent life forms were better adapted to dealing with increased levels of CO2.

Vincent Courtillot,director of the Paris Geophysical.Institute in France,says that Wignall’s idea is provocative.But he says it is incredibly hard to do these sorts of calculations.He points out that the killing power of volcanic eruptions depends on how long they lasted.And it is impossible to tell whether the huge blasts lasted for thousands or millions of years.He also adds that it is difficult to estimate how much lava prehistoric volcanoes produced,and that lava volume may not necessarily correspond to carbon dioxide emissions.

41.Older volcanic eruptions did moredamage than more recent ones because

A.older volcanoes were brighter.

B.carbon dioxide made the earth muchwarmer

C.older volcanoes were hotter

D.carbon dioxide killed off life moreeasily

42.Wignall calculated the killing powerof those older volcanic eruptions by

A.estimating how long they lasted

B.counting the dinosaurs they killed

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/034461125.html,paring the proportion of lifekilled with the volume of lava produced

D.studying the chemical composition oflava

43.When did dinosaurs become extinct?

A.300million years ago.

B.250million years ago

C.65million years ago

D.60million years ago

44.It can be inferred from Paragraph3that the cause of dinosaur extinction is_______

A.a political issue.

B.self-evident.

C.quite certain

D.controversial

45.What is the main thesis of thearticle?

A.Volcanic eruptions are not alwaysdeadly.

B.Carbon dioxide emissions often giverise to global warming.

C.Older volcanic eruptions are moredestructive

D.It is not easy to calculate the killingpower of a volcanic eruption

Researchers Discover Why Human Began Walking Upright

Most of us walk and carry items in our hands every day.These are seemingly simple activities that the majority of us don’t question. _____(46The team of researchers from the U.S.,England,Japan and Portugal investigated the behavior of modern-day chimpanzees as they competed for food resources,in an effort to understand what ecological

settings would lead a large ape—one that resembles the6million-year old ancestor we shared in common with living chimpanzees—to walk on two legs.

"These chimpanzees provide a model of the ecological conditions under which our earliest ancestors might have begun walking on two legs",said Dr.Richmond.

The research findings suggest that chimpanzees switch to moving on two limbs instead of four in situations where they need to monopolize a resource._____(47Over time,intense bursts of bipedal activity may have led to anatomical changes that in turn became the subject of natural selection where competition for food or other resources was strong.

Two studies were conducted by the team in Guinea.The first study was conducted by the team in Kyoto University's"outdoor laboratory"in a natural clearing in Bossou Forest._____(48The chimpanzees'behavior was monitored in three situations:when only oil palm nuts were available,when a small number of coula nuts were available,and when coula nuts were the majority available resource.

When the rare coula nuts were available only in small numbers, the chimpanzees transported more at one time.Similarly,when coula nuts were the majority resource,the chimpanzees ignored the oil palm nuts altogether._____(49

In such high-competition settings,the frequency of cases in which the chimpanzees started moving on two legs increased by a factor of four.Not only was it obvious that bipedal movement allowed them to carry more of this precious resource,but also that they were actively trying to move as much as they could in one go by using everything available-even their mouths.

The second study,by Kimberley Hockings of Oxford Brookes University,was a14-month study of Bossou chimpanzees crop-raiding,a situation in which they have to compete for rare and unpredictable Resources._____(50

A.Standing on two legs allows them to carry much more at one time because it frees up their hands.

B.But an international team of researchers,including Dr.Richmond from GW's Columbian College of Arts and Sciences,have discovered that human walking upright,may have originated millions of years ago as an adaptation to carrying

scarce,high-quality resources.

C.Here,35percent of the chimpanzees activity involved some sort of bipedal movement,and once again,this behavior appeared to be linked to a clear attempt to carry as much as possible at one time.

D.XXXXXX

E.Researchers allowed the wild chimpanzees access to different combinations of two different types of nut—the oil palm nut,which is naturally widely available,and the coula nut,which is not.

F.The chimpanzees regarded the coula nuts as a more highly-prized

resource and competed for them more

理工B阅读理解新增文章 第十九篇Musical Robot Companion Enhances Listener Experience Shimi, a musical companion developed by Georgia Tech’s Center for Music Technology, recommends songs, dances to the beat and keeps the music pumping based on listener feedback. The smartphone-enabled, one-foot-tall robot is billed as an interactive “musical friend”. “Shimi is designed to change the way that people enjoy and think about their music，” said Professor Gil Weinberg, the robot’s creator. He will unveil the robot at the June 27th Google I/O conference in San Francisco. A band of three Shimi robots will perform for guests, dancing in sync with music created in the lab and composed according to its movements. Shimi is essentially a docking station with a “brain” powered by an Android phone. Once docked, the robot gains the sensing and musical generation capabilities of the user’s mobile device. In other words, if there’s an “app” for that, Shimi is ready. For instance, by using the phone’s camera and face-detecting software，Shimi can follow a listener around the room and position its “ears”，or speakers, for optimal sound. Another recognition feature is based on rhythm and tempo. If the user taps a beat, Shimi analyzes it, scans the phone’s musical library and immediately plays the song that best matches the suggestion. Once the music starts，Shimi dances to the rhythm. “Many people think that robots are limited by their programming instructions, said Music Technology Ph.

When he was a college student, doctors discovered that he had a rare disease. This disease causes a gradual disintegration(分解)of the nerve cells in the brain cells that regulate voluntary muscle activity. Death almost always occurs within two or threeyears. Today Stephen Hawking cannot walk or speak. He cannot move his arms or his head. He cannot taste or smell anything. And yet this man is Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, a position held by the famous scientist Isaac Newton in 1669. Hawking is often described as the greatest scientist since Albert Einstein, but to the world outside science, he is also known as the man who made scientific theory understandable. His book, A Brief History of Time, has soldover eight million copies. He says that since he does not have to think about his body or do any ofthe things other men have to worry about, such as washing the car or working in the yard, he can dedicate all of his time to thinking. This puts him in the perfect position to find the answer to the question that he has dedicated his life to. His question is: Is there a complete theory of the universe andeverything in it? Despite his tremendous physical disabilities, he has already made some very important discoveries about the origin of the universe, how the universe holds together, and how it will probably end. He has also been able to explain thesecrets of “black holes” in space. Now he is looking for a set ofrules that everything in our universe must obey. He calls it the Theory ofEverything. He thinks that someone will have found the answer within the next20 years. If Stephen Hawking is able to find his Theory of Everything, he will have given the world the opportunity to understand things that will change the whole nature of science and probably also the way we live. 16.Stephen Hawking will be 50 years old by 2017. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 17.Stephen Hawking suffers from a rare brain disease. A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 18.Stephen Hawking is Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University. A.Right
