听力原文: Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction. Sound travels at the speed of about one-fifth of a mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel to the hill and back. Thus by measuring the time between a sound and its reflection-the echo, you can calculate the distance to an obstruction.
During World War II the British made a practical use of this rule to discover planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the object. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can pass through fog and clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force (RAF) always seemed to puzzle Germans that they were lying in wait at the right time and were never surprised. It was radio echoes more than anything else that helped them win the war.
Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them, the device was called radio directing and ranging, and from the first letters the word radar was formed.
Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to calculate the______.
A.Speed of sound
B.time between a sound and ifs echo
C.height of the hill
D.distance of the hill
It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A.U. S. is an innovator in fishery regulation by setting a universal catch limit
B.the Magnuson-Stevens Act is invalid for the time being
C.U. S. has precedents in the process of formulating fishery limits
D.the regional management councils were ignoring the sustainability of fishery before
A.Unlike Beethoven, however, even the greatest of modem composers, such as Stravinsky, did not transcend existing musical forms
B.In similar fashion, existing musical forms were even further exploited by the next generation of great European composers
C.Thus, many of the great composers displayed the same combination of talents exhibited by Monteverdi
D.By contrast, the view that creativity in the arts exploits but does not transcend limits is
Speeding is now the most common motoring offence in Britain. Offences for speeding fall into three classes: exceeding the limit on a restricted road, exceeding on any road the
limit for the vehicle you are driving, and exceeding the 70 m.p.h. limit on any road. A restricted road is one where the street lamps are 200 yards apart, or more.
The main controversy surrounding speeding laws is the extent of their safety value. The Ministry of Transport maintains that speed limits reduce accidents. It claims that when the 30 m.p.h. limit was introduced in 1935 there was a fall of 15 percent in fatal accidents. Likewise, when the 40 m.p.h. speed limit was imposed on a number of roads in London in the late fifties, there was a 28 percent reduction in serious accidents. There were also fewer casualties in the year after the 70 m.p.h. motorway limit was imposed in 1966.
In America, however, it is thought that the reduced accident figures are due rather to the increase in traffic density. This is why it has even been suggested that the present speed limits should be done away with completely, or that a guide should be given to inexperienced drivers and the speed limits made advisory, as is done in parts of the USA.
Questions:
1. During which period could British motorists drive without speed limits?
2. What measures were adopted in 1935 in addition to the speeding restrictions?
3. Speeding is a motoring offence a driver commits when he ________.
4. What is the opinion of British authorities concerning speeding laws?
5. What reason do Americans give for the reduction in traffic accidents?
What does the result of the face choosing experiments reveal?
A.People could explain well why they made their choices.
B.Only a few of participants had choice blindness in making decision.
C.Usually participants were aware of the limits of their skills.
D.Most participants didn't realize that their choices had been switched.
A.Unlike Beethoven, however, even the greatest of modern composers, such as Stravinsky, did not transcend existing musical forms.
B.In similar fashion, existing musical forms were even further exploited by the next generation of great European composers.
C.Thus, many of the great composers displayed the same combination of talents exhibited by Monteverdi.
D.By contrast, the view that creativity in the arts exploits but does not transcend limits is supported in the field of literature.
