17、PASSAGE 1A spark, a flint: How fire leapt to lifeThe control of fire was the first and perhaps greatest of humanitys steps towards a life-enhancing technology To early man, fire was a divine gift randomly delivered in the form of lightning, forest fire or burning lava. Unable to make flame for thems
18、elves, the earliest peoples probabh stored fire by keeping slow burning logs alight or by carrying charcoal in pots.How and where man learnt how to produce flame at will is unknown. It was probably a secondary invention, accidentally made during tool-making operations with wood or stone. Studies of
19、primitive societies suggest that the earliest method of making fire was through friction. European peasants would insert a wooden drill in a round hole and rotate it briskly between their palms This process could be speeded up by wrapping a cord around the drill and pulling on each end. The Ancient
20、Greeks used lenses or concave mirrors to concentrate the suns rays and burning glasses were also used by Mexican Aztecs and the Chinese.Percussion methods of firelighting date back to Paleolithic times, when some Stone Age tool-makers discovered that chipping flints produced sparks. The technique be
21、came more efficient after the discovery of iron, about 5000 vears ago In Arctic North America, the Eskimos produced a slow-burning spark by striking quartz against iron pyrites, a compound that contains sulphur. The Chinese lit their fires by striking porcelain with bamboo. In Europe, the combinatio
22、n of steel, flint and tinder remained the main method of firelighting until the mid 19th century.Fire-lighting was revolutionised by the discovery of phosphorus, isolated in 1669 by a German alchemist trying to transmute silver into gold. Impressed by the elements combustibility, several 17th centur
23、y chemists used it to manufacture fire-lighting devices, but the results were dangerously inflammable. With phosphorus costing theeqimalent of several hundred pounds per ounce, the hrst matches were expensive.The quest for a practical match really began after 1781 when a group of French chemists cam
24、e up with the Phosphoric Candle or Ethereal Match, a sealed glass tube containing a twist of paper tipped with phosphorus. When the tube was broken, air rushed in, causing the phosphorus to selfcombust. An even more hazardous device, popular in America, was the Instantaneous Light Box a bottle fille
25、d with sulphuric acid into which splints treated with chemicals were dipped.The first matches resembling those used today were made in 1827 by John Walker, an English pharmacist who borrowed the formula from a military rocket-maker called Congreve. Costing a shilling a box, Congreves were splints co
26、ated with sulphur and tipped with potassium chlorate. To light them, the user drew them quickly through folded glass paper.Walker never patented his invention, and three years later it was copied by a Samuel Jones, who marketed his product as Lucifers. About the same time, a French chemistry student
27、 called Charles Sauria produced the first “strike-anywhere” match by substituting white phosphorus for the potassium chlorate in the Walker formula. However, since white phosphorus is a deadly poison, from 1845 match-makers exposed to its fumes succumbed to necrosis, a disease that eats away jaw-bon
28、es. It wasnt until 1906 that the substance was eventually banned.That was 62 years after a Swedish chemist called Pasch had discovered non-toxic red or amorphous phosphorus, a development exploited commercially by Paschs compatriot J E Lundstrom in 1885. Lundstroms safety matches were safe because t
29、he red phosphorus was non-toxic; it was painted on to the striking surface instead of the match tip, which contained potassium chlorate with a relatively high ignition temperature of 182 degrees centigrade.America lagged behind Europe in match technology and safety standards. It wasnt until 1900 tha
30、t the Diamond Match Company bought a French patent for safety matches but the formula did not work properly in the different climatic conditions prevailing in America and it was another 11 years before scientists finally adapted the French patent for the US.The Americans, however, can claim several
31、“firsts” in match technology and marketing. In 1892 the Diamond Match Company pioneered book matches. The innovation didnt catch on until after 1896, when a brewery had the novel idea of advertising its product in match books. Today book matches are the most widely used type in the US, with 90 perce
32、nt handed out free by hotels, restaurants and others.Other American innovations include an antiafterglow solution to prevent the match from smouldering after it has been blown out; and the waterproof match, which lights after eight hours in water.（分数：15）(1).There are eight questions belowComplete th

Headlined “Withou
41、t zoos you might as well tell these animals to get stuffed”, it was bordered with illustrations of several endangered species and went on to extol the myth that without zoos like London Zoo these animals “will almost certainly disappear forever”. With the zoo worlds rather mediocre record on conserv
42、ation, one might be forgiven for being slightly sceptical about such an advertisement.Zoos were originally created as places of entertainment, and their suggested involvement with conservation didnt seriously arise until about 30 years ago, when the Zoological Society of London held the first formal
43、 international meeting on the subject. Eight years later, a series of world conferences took place, entitled “The Breeding of Endangered Species”, and from this point onwards conservation became the zoo communitys buzzword. This commitment has now been clearh defined in The World Zpo Conservation St
44、rategy (WZGS, September 1993), which although an important and welcome document does seem to be based on an unrealistic optimism about the nature of the zoo industry.The WZCS estimates that there are about 10,000 zoos in the world, of which around 1,000 represent a core of quality collections capabl
45、e of participating in co-ordinated conservation programmes. This is probably the documents first failing, as I believe that 10,000 is a serious underestimate of the total number of places masquerading as zoological establishments. Of course it is difficult to get accurate data but, to put the issue into perspective, I have found that, in a year of working in Eastern Europe, I discover fresh zoos on almost a weekly basis.The second flaw in the r
