7、day in the not-too-distant future, their country will disappear from the face of the earthliterally. Several times this year, the Pacific island nation has been flooded by a sudden high tide. These tides, which swept across the island and destroyed houses, came when there was neither wind nor rain.
8、“This never happened before,“ say the older citizens of Kiribati.What is causing these mysterious high tides? The answer may well be global warming. When fuels like oil and coal are being burned, pollutants (污染物) are released; these pollutants trap heat in the earths atmosphere. Warmer temperatures
9、cause water to expand and also create more water by melting glaciers (冰川) and polar (极地的) ice caps.If the trend continues, scientists say, many countries will suffer. Bangladesh, for example, might lose one-fifth of its land. The coral (珊瑚) island nations of the Pacific, like Kiribati and the Marsha
10、ll Islands, however, would face an even worse fatethey would be swallowed by the sea. The loss of these coral islands would be everyones loss. Coral formations are home to more species than any other place on earth.The people of these nations feel frustrated. The sea, on which their economies have a
11、lways been based, is suddenly threatening their existence. They dont have the money for expensive technological solutions like seawalls. And they have no control over the pollutants, which are being released mainly by activities in large industrialized countries. All they can do is to hope that indu

Studies of robots, particular
16、ly computer control software, are considered to be generally less advanced in Japan than in America or Europe.2Although industrial robots were originally developed as devices for simply handling objects, today their commonest uses are for more skilled work like welding (焊接), spray- painting and asse
17、mbling components.3In Britain, robot sales appropriately peaked in 1984, but have been declining ever since. This is partly because British wage rates are too low to make robots financially attractive and partly because engineers now have more experience with robots and are more aware of the difficu
18、lties of introducing them effectively.4It has been calculated that a robot uses on average about 100 times more energy than a human to do an equivalent job.5It is estimated that 20% of all comic book heroes in Japan are robots. This is an enormous number because comics are so popular that they make
19、up a third of all material published in Japan.6The reliability of robots is measured in their M.T.B.F. or mean time between failures. This has risen from about 250 hours in the mid-1970s to about 10,000 hours today (equivalent to working 18 hours a day for two years). One way robot manufacturers hav
20、e increased reliability is to test every single component they buy, instead of the normal procedure of just testing a small sample.7The biggest single benefit of introducing robots claimed by Japanese companies is that they increase quality control. Once programmed, the robots can work more accurate

Australian astronomers,
24、being in the Southern Hemisphere (半球), are able to observe it clearly.In the 19th century, Eta Carinae was for a time the third brightest star in the sky. It has now become less bright so that binoculars (双筒望远镜) are needed to see it. “It seems to be brightening and becoming less bright over a period
25、 of many years“, said Dr Bob Duncan from the Australia Telescope National Facility.While it is not unusual for stars to vary in brightness, the period is usually much shorter. “Since 1992 it has become four times brighter, and then last year it began to drop dramatically,“ he said.The problem in obs
26、erving Eta Carinae is that it has been surrounded by a cloud of gas and dust, making it hard to see the star directly. However, radio waves and infrared light (红外线) can pass through this cloud, so telescopes that receive these wavelengths can observe what is occurring.Eta Carinae is of particular in
27、terest to astronomers because it seems to be in its death throes (剧痛). Being so large it will end up as a supernova (超新星). There has not been a supernova in our galaxy since the invention of the telescope. While a 1987 explosion in a nearby galaxy gave astronomers plenty of valuable data, they are h
28、ungry for an even closer look.Eta Carinae has other unique features, and is the only star known to produce an ultraviolet (紫外线) laser that is brighter than that produced by the Sun. Lasers have been observed in other frequencies from a few stars.（分数：15.00）(1).Eta Carinae is now engaging inAsome very

The or
33、iginal chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree (可可树) by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London, shops where chocolate drinks were served became importa
34、nt meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine (饥荒)“ of 1
35、8451846, and thousands more were forced to leave their homeland and move to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the worlds largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in
36、 Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when aperson named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee

41、(DLR) took just three years to build at a cost of 77 million. It is Londons first Light Rail System, but its route follows that of a number of older lines, which carried the nineteenth century railways through the crowded districts of the East End.The section of the line from the Tower Gateway Stati

44、he London the colors and patterns are bold; and the quality is excellent.The System Link is another feature of good marketing. For Benetton, this means waiting to get information about what customers like and what they dislike before making the clothes. (48) The Information Link means making sure th
