1.187. 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 biologists 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 one example of all 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 recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption 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 sound in water is roughly one mile a second, slower 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 doctor’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.

    【录音原文】
    Of course, concerns about deflation and slow growth are closely interlinked. If the American economy were to slide into deflation, with prices actually falling, hopes for a sustained economic recovery would be dashed. Once prices start to fall, consumers and businesses postpone all but the most essential purchases. What is the point of buying something now if it will be cheaper in a few months’ time? It is easy to see how quickly the economy could slide back towards recession. Japan, in or close to recession for much of the past decade, is now experiencing its fourth consecutive year of falling prices.

    Which of the following is true?
    A

    Anne was lazy, sad and complained all day

    B

    The book is mainly about Anne’s school life

    C

    Anne loved life though she was in difficult time

    D

    The book has been put into nearly 30 languages


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    由原文第三段中的“In her diary, Anne wrote down her thoughts, her feelings, her hopes and her dreams for the future.”以及“I feel the beauty of nature and the goodness of the people around me”等内容可推断出生活条件虽然艰辛,但Anne仍然热爱生活。故正确答案为C项。A项表达的意思与原文意思相反,原文中第三段说到她对生活和未来仍然充满希望。B项错误,原文第三段指出,Anne的日记是关于她在纳粹集中营的生活的感悟,而不是关于她的学校生活的。原文第三段提到“It has been put into over 30 languages”,即她的日记被翻译成30多种语言,而不是D项中描述的“近30种语言”。故D项也错误。
