The sun also exerts its effect on the tide, being a lit fie less than half as much as the moon, although its mass is so much greater. When the moon and the sun are horizontal, the highest high tide occurs and when they are vertical the lowest low tide takes place.
The wind also plays an important part in the modification of the normal rise and fall of the tide. Thus these factors affect each other, either detracting or adding to the attractive forces to add or subtract from the weight of the tide. But the tides still move inexorably on, rising twice a day, getting a little later each day and posing a problem of correctly predicting their heights and lows.
Which of the following factors will not affect the time of the tide?
A.The position of the sun and the moon.
B.The mass of the moon.
C.The wind.
D.All of the above mentioned factors.
听力原文: Aid workers in Mozambique say they' re increasingly confident that they are coming to terms with the humanitarian crisis that follows the devastating floods. Helicopters and planes have been working flat-out to get supplies through to areas of need. The World Health Organization has warned that malaria has risen sharply after the flooding. This report from Jim Fish in Maputong: "The skies over Mozambique have never been this busy. Relays of helicopters and aircraft crisscross to and fro ferrying food and supplies to the stricken areas. A fleet of more than 50 aircraft are now operating, averaging 200 flights per day. At one forward supply depot in the town of Pamela, helicopters were arriving every few minutes, ferrying sacks of maize, and rice and beans out to where the flood survivors are congregated. But there are still pockets of people who have not received food or fresh water for over a week."

The sun also exerts its effect on the tide, being a little less than half as much as the moon, although its mass is so much greater. When the moon and the sun are horizontal, the highest tide occurs and when they are vertical the lowest tide takes place.
The wind also plays an important part in the modification of the normal rise and fall of the tides. Thus these factors affect each other, either detracting(转移) or adding to the attractive forces to add or subtract from the magnitude of the tide. One thing is certain: the tides move inexorably(不可阻挡) on, rising twice a day, shifting a little in time each day, and coutinually posing the problem of how to correctly predict their highs and lows.

A.the attraction of the sun and the moon
B.the sun, the moon and the wind
C.the changing tides
D.the factors affecting the tides
听力原文: Hi, everyone. As we mark the anniversary of the Iraq war, we're being reminded of all that our soldiers have sacrificed, and what some continue to experience. The scandal at Walter Reed put their suffering into sharp focus. And so was the new study from the Archives of Internal Medicine. The study found that about a third of veterny vets were diagnosed with mental illness or a psycho social disorder, everything from depression and post traumatic stress, to homeless and domestic violence. The highest rate of mental problems is among the youngest -- soldiers between 18 and 24. The doctor who conducted the study says the num-bets may eventually surpass those from Vietnam.
Bobby Miller, a Vietnam vet and a President of Veterans from America says, "We haven't even begun to understand the magnitude of this." "Attention," he says, "must be paid. Unless we want a 'lost generation'." I agree. That's a page from my notebook.
Which war is this passage to mark the anniversary of?
A.Irap war.
B.Vietnam war.
C.World War Ⅰ.
D.World War Ⅱ.
