Finding Yourself without GPSAs more mobile phones tap into the Internet, people increasingly turn to them for location-centric services like getting directions and finding nearby restaurants. While Global Positioning
8、System (GPS) technology provides excellent accuracy, only a fraction of phones have this capability. Whats more, GPS coverage is spotty in dense urban environments, and inphone receivers can be slow and drain a phones battery.To sidestep this problem, last week Google added a new feature, called My
9、Location, to its Web-based mapping service. My Location collects information from the nearest cell-phone tower to estimate a persons location within a distance of about 1,000 meters. This resolution is obviously not sufficient for driving directions, but it can be fine for searching for a restaurant
10、 or a store. “A common use of Google Maps is to search nearby,“ says Steve Lee, product manager for Google Maps, who likened the approach to searching for something within an urban zip code, but without knowing that code. “In a new city, you might not know the zip code, or even if you know it, it ta
11、kes time to enter it and then to zoom in and pan around the map.“Many phones support software that is able to read the unique identification of a cell-phone tower and the coverage area that surrounds it is usually split into three regions. Lee explains that My Location uses such software to learn wh
12、ich tower is serving the phoneand which coverage area the cell phone is operating in. Google also uses data from cell phones in the area that do have GPS to help estimate the locations of the devices without it. In this way, Google adds geographic information to the cellphone towers identifiers that
13、 the company stores in a database. As the database grows, says Lee, the service will become more accurate. It will never be as accurate as GPS, but he expects that it could eventually find a person within a couple hundred meters.（分数：7.00）(1).All the cell phones are able to provide GPS services.（分数：1

20、ese people were accused of causing global warming.This conclusion comes from Sheldon Jacobson of the University of Illinois, U. S. , and a doctoral student, Laura McLay. Their study calculates how much extra gasoline is needed to haul fat Americans around. The answer, they say, is a billion gallons
21、of gas per year. It means an extra 11 million tons of carbon dioxide.There has been calls for taxes on junk food in recent years. U. S. economist Martin Schmidt suggests a tax on fast food delivered to peoples cars. “We tax cigarettes partly because of their health cost,“ Schmidt said. “Similarly, l
22、eading a lazy lifestyle will end up costing taxpayers more. “U. S. political scientist Eric Oliver said his first instinct was to laugh at these gas and fast food arguments. But such claims are getting attention.At the U. S. Obesity Societys annual meeting, one person correlated obesity with car acc
23、ident deaths, and another correlated obesity with suicides. No one asked whether there was really a cause-and-effect relationship. “The funny thing was that everyone took it seriously,“ Oliver said.In a 1960s study, children were shown drawings of children with disabilities and without them, a drawi
24、ng of an obese child. They were asked which they would want for a friend? The obese child was picked last.Three researchers recently repeated the study using college students. Once again, ahnost no one, not even obese people, liked the obese person. “Obesity was stigmatized,“ the researchers said.Bu
25、t, researchers say, getting thin is not like quitting smoking. People struggle to stop smoking, and, in the end, many succeed. Obesity is different. But, not because obese people dont care. Science has shown that they have limited personal control over their weight.（分数：15.00）(1).Sheldon Jacobson and
26、 Laura McLay come to the conclusion that obese people cause global warming by（分数：3.00）A.calculating how much extra gasoline is needed to transport fat Americans around.B.examining how much more carbon dioxide fat people breathe out every year.C.calculating how much junk food fat people consume every
27、 year in America.D.examining how much more fat people cost taxpayers due to their lazy lifestyl(2).Martin Schmidt cited cigarettes as an example to show（分数：3.00）A.the reason why we put tax on cigarettes.B.there is good reason to put a tax on junk food delivered to peoples cars.C.people who lead a la

31、giving birth to its young alive. sucking them-and, like all mammals, originated on land. There are many signs of this. Its front flippers (鳍足), used for steering and stability, are traces of feet.Immense strength is built into the great body of the big whales, and in fact most of a whales body is on
32、e gigantic muscle. The blue whales pulling strength has been estimated at 400 horsepower. One specimen was reported to have towed (牵引) a whaling vessel for seven hours at the rate of eight knots.An enraged whale will attack a ship. A famous example of this was the fate of whaler Essex, which was sun
33、k off the coast South America early in the last century. More recently, steel ships have had their plates buckled in the same way. Sperm whales were known to seize the old-time whaleboats in their jaws and crush them.The greatest mystery of whales is their diving ability. The sperm whale can dive on
34、 the bottom for his favorite food, the octopus. In that search he is known to go as far down as 3,200 feet, where the pressure is 1,400 pounds, to the square inch. Doing so he will remain submerged as long as one hour. Two feats(壮举) are involved in this: storing up enough oxygen (all whales are air-
35、breathed) and withstanding the great change in pressure. Just how he does it scientists have not determined. It is believed that some of the oxygen is stored in a special system of blood vessels, rather than just held in the lungs. And it is believed that a special kind of oil in his head is some so
36、rt of compensating mechanism that automatically adjusts the internal pressure of his body. But since you cant bring a live whale into the laboratory for study, no one knows just how these things work.（分数：15.00）(1).Which of the following is a sign of the fact that the whale originated from the land?（
37、分数：3.00）A.Warm-bloodedness.B.Air-breathing.C.Giving birth to its young alive.D.Its front flippers.(2).The blue whales pulling strength can be as great as（分数：3.00）A.400 horsepower.B.3,200 horsepower.C.1,d00 horsepower.D.eight horsepower.(3).Fate of whaler Essex is an example of（分数：3.00）A.attack on a

39、nd great weight.(5).What is the reason that scientists cannot yet explain the great diving ability of the whales?（分数：3.00）A.Because they cannot catch a whale tot study because of its great strength.B.Because whales are too dangerous to get close to.C.Because they cant bring a whale alive into the la
40、boratory for study.D.Because no scientists are interested in the subject.Ice Explorer Ready for LaunchThe European space agencys mission to assess the state of the worlds ice cover is likely to launch in February. The Cryosat-2 spacecraft will go into orbit on a Dnepr rocket from Baikonur, Kazakhsta
41、n, the agency has announced.The satellite is a rebuild of the mission that was destroyed in 2005 when its launcher failed just minutes into its flight. Cryosat-2s radar instrument will make detailed maps of the ice that covers both sea and land at the poles. Data from other satellites has already in
42、dicated that some of this cover is diminishing at a rapid rate in response to climate change, with the biggest melting occurring in the Arctic.The completed Cryosat-2 is undergoing final checks here at the IABG technical centre in Ottobrunn near Munich, Germany, a test facility used by satellite man
43、ufacturers. It was hoped Cryosat. 2 could launch in December, lint the flight has been delayed now until next year. Esa said there was a queue of missions waiting for a ride on the Russian-Ukrainian Dnepr rockel.“Yes, its frustrating, but thats how it is,“ conceded Volker Liebig, Esas director of Ea
44、rth observation programmes. “On the other hand it gives us a little bit more lime to train and prepare the ground team,which means when we do get into orbit well be ready to start operations rapidly because of all the work weve done in advance,“Mission managers are targeting 28 February for a launch
45、. The inability of the agency to loft its satellites at a time of its choosing should become less of a problem when it has access to its new Vega rocket.Vega, which will operate out of Europes Kourou spaceport in French Guiana, has been designed specifically to carry small institutional payloads suc
46、h as Cryosat to orbit. However, the rocket is not expected to enter into service until the middle of next year.Cryosat-2 is part of Esas Earth Explorer programmeseven spacecraft that will do innovative science in obtaining data on issees of pressing environmental concern. The first in the series, Go
47、ce (Gravity Field and SteadyState Ocean Circulation), was launched in March.（分数：15.00）(1).What is the Cryosat spacecraft used to do?（分数：3.00）A.To explore the ice coverage in the Europe.B.To explore the ice coverage in the North pole.C.To explore the ice coverage in the Arctic.D.To explore the ice co
48、verage on the eart(2).What can not be inferred according to the passage?（分数：3.00）A.In 2005 ,the attempt to launch the satellite was failed.B.The ice coverage in poles will be examined in this new mission.C.There are similar researches done before.D.The climate change in the Arctic areas is most dang
49、erous.(3).Why is the launch delayed?（分数：3.00）A.The satellite has not gone through the final check.B.There are something wrong with the satellite.C.There are many other satellites waiting to be launched before Cryosat. 2.D.There are something wrong with the rocket.(4).According to the passage, what is Volker Liebigs view about the delay in launch?（分数：3.00）
