29、,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑 A Wind is the great maker of waves. There are exceptions, such as the tidal (潮汐的 ) waves sometimes produced by earthquakes under the sea. But the waves most of us know are produced by winds blowing over the sea. Now before constructing an imaginary life history of a typical wave, we nee
30、d to know certain physical things about it. A wave has height, from trough (low point) to crest (high Point). It has length-the distance from this crest to that of the following wave. The period of the wave means the time it takes for succeeding crests to pass a fixed point. None of these things sta
31、ys the same-for all depend upon the wind, upon the depth of the water and many other matters. The water that makes up a wave does not advance with it across the sea. Each drop of water turns around in a little circle with the passing of the wave, but returns very nearly to its original position. And
32、 it is fortunate that this is so. For if the huge masses of water that make up a wave actually moved across the sea, sailing would be impossible. If we want to find the speed of a wave, we may use the following way: Speed = wavelength frequency Here, wavelength is the distance between two high point
33、s (crests), frequency means the number of cycles per second 56. What causes waves? A. Earthquakes and nothing else. B. Only wind. C. Wind causes most waves. D. Wind causes some waves. 57. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. The water of a wave moves away across the sea. B. Th
34、e water of a wave remains almost at the same place. C. The water of a wave goes with the passing of the wave. D. The length of a wave means the distance from the top of a wave to the bottom. 58. The speed of Wave 1 is 100 cm/s, frequency 10. The frequency of Wave 2 is 300, while its speed is twice t
35、hat of Wave 1. Which of the following is right? A. The wavelengths of the two are equal. B. The wavelength of Wave 1 is 10 times longer than that of Wave 2. C. The wavelength of Wave 2 is longer than that of Wave 1. D. The wavelength of Wave 1 is longer than that of Wave 2. B There has been a dramat
36、ic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years, and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the worlds leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves. London Londons flood defences are getting
37、 older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸 )has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 26 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by
38、 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed. There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property in Londons flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous. Paris Over a six week period in Ju
39、ly and August 2003, more than 11,400mainly elderly peopledied in France from dehydration(脱水 )and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(强度 )are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?
40、One solution is to have air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions(排放 ). In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as t
41、he building Flower Tower, which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner. Shanghai Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century. An estimat
42、ed 250, 000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coalfired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons. 59. What problem should be settled now i

How to improve the function of the old flood defences. 60. Which of the following measures cant solve the heat wave disaster in Paris? A. Putting up new type
