Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public placesespecially enclosed spaces. Would you want to listen to someone“s conversation in thes
3、e places? Worse yet, how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral! It happens more often than you think. Avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your mobile phone is switched off. When eating at a restaurant with friends, don“t place your mobile phone on the table.
4、This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you. Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone. This enables you to speak quietly so that others won“t hear the details of your conversations. If you
5、are calling from a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone. Many people believe that they can“t live without their mobile phone.

10、sible.It is hard to track the blue whale, the ocean“s largest creature, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered species. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult, and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior. So bi
11、ologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the Navy, they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days, monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy“s formerly top-secret system of underwater listening devices spanning the oceans. Tracking whales is but
12、one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies. Earth scientists announced at a news conference
13、 recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption (爆发) for the first time and that they plan similar studies. Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures. The speed of s
14、ound in water is roughly one mile a secondslower than through land but faster than through air. What is most important, different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds, focusing them in the same way a stethoscope (听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient“s chest to a doct
15、or“s ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially low-frequency ones, can often travel thousands of miles.

18、frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water(4).It can be inferred from the passage that_.(分数:2.00)A.new radio devices should be developed for tracking the endangered blue whalesB.blue whales are no longer endangered with the use of the new listening systemC.opinions differ as to whet
19、her civilian scientists should be allowed to use military technologyD.military technology has great potential in civilian use(5).Which of the following is true about the U. S.

20、more advanced system.C.It became useless to the military after the cold war.D.It is indispensable in protecting endangered species.For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious; the graying of America means jobs, coupled with the aging of th
21、e baby-boom (生育高峰) generation, a longer life span means that the nation“s elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society
22、, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. “In addition to the doctors, we“re going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers,“ says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Sou
23、thern California“s (USC) School of Gerontology (老年学). Lawyers can specialize in “elder law“, which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (歧视). Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are like
24、ly to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. “Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money. “ one professor says.
