researchers at the university of bonn said. they took part in an international project to measure the diameter (直径) of the world that showed it is five millimeters (毫米) smaller than the last measurement made five years ago. dr axel nothnagel, who led the bonn researchers, said the difference was crucial in the study of climate change. “it may seem a very small difference, but it is essential for the positioning of the satellites that can measure rises in sea level.” “they must be accurate to the millimeter. if the ground stations tracking the satellites are not accurate to the millimeter, then the satellites cannot be accurate either.” the scientists rounded the number up to 12,756.274 kilometers for the general public. the system of measurement used by the bonn scientists in the two-year project consisted of radio waves that were transmitted into space. “a network of more than 70 radio telescopes worldwide receives these waves. because the gauging (测量) stations are so far apart from each other, the radio signals are received with a slight time lag (时滞),” dr nothnagel said. “from this difference we can measure the distance between the radio telescopes to the accuracy of two millimeters per 1,000 kilometers.” the procedure is called vlbi, which stands for “very long baseline interferometry”. the technique can be used, for example, to prove that europe and north america are moving apart at a rate of about 18 millimeters a year. 56. according to the last measurement made five years ago, the diameter of the earth is about _ kilometers.a. 12,756.274 b. 12,756.279 c. 12,756.324 d. 12,756.77457. the underlined word “crucial” in paragraph 3 probably means “_”.a. small b. necessary c. important d. changeable58. which of the following statements is not true about the latest measurement of the earth?a. it took about two years to finish the measurement.b. it was carried out by the university of bonn alone.c. the error was controlled to under two millimeters per 1,000 kilometers.d. a network of more than 70 radio telescopes is employed to receive the radio waves.59. if this measurement ended this year (2007), the last measurement ended in _.a. 2000 b. 2001 c. 2002 d. 200360. the passage mainly tells us _.a. why the earth is becoming smaller and smallerb. how to measure the diameter of the earthc. something about the measurement of the diameter of the earthd. the study of climate change ordering from booksfirst is easy and safe. when you have found a book you would like to order, just click on “add to basket” and it will be added to

the leader is usually a female. a herd can go through a forest quietly. it travels in a single line. it goes about 6 miles an hour. when frightened, it may run at about 25 miles an hour. when they reach water, elephants swim across. they are great swimmers. elephants eat grass, leaves, small branches, and bark. they particularly like the tender leaves on the top of trees. how do they get these leaves? they use their heads to knock trees down. they can easily knock down a 30-foot tree. elephants also eat berries, mangoes, coconuts, corn, and sugar cane. they love salt. a wild male adult eats 500 to 600 pounds of food a day. many people want to find the graveyards (墓地) of elephants. there is a strong belief that such graveyards exist. here is why. bones and tusks of dead elephants have almost never been found. searches have been made in forests. grassy plains have been searched too. but neither bones nor tusks are found. elephants dont live forever. where are their bones? they dont just bury themselves. here is one belief. when an elephant gets sick or old, it instinctively knows death is near. it leaves the herd. it goes off to a secret graveyard. the place is known only to elephants, and perhaps other animals, but not to humans. obviously, such a graveyard would be filled with tusks. these were once very valuable. the objective of explorers was to find this “gold” mine. this graveyard belief may be a truth or a myth. but it is romantic. it would be nice if it were true.66. an elephant usually travels at a speed of _ per hour.a. around 6 miles b. around 25 milesc. no more than 6 miles d. more than 25 miles67. according to the passage, elephants favorite foods are _.a. grass, leaves, small branches and barkb. tender leaves on the top of treesc. berries, mangoes, coconuts, corn, and sugar caned. none of the above68. from the passage we can learn that _.a. other animals know where elephants graveyards areb. elephants bury themselves when their deaths are nearc. people have found bones and tusks of dead elephantsd. whether there are graveyards of elephants is still not knownabout 40 years ago, the famous british band the beatles sang that “money cant buy me love”. today, british economists are saying that it perhaps cant buy you happiness either. this is showed by the happy planet index (hpi，快乐指数) published recently by the new economics foundation (nef) in london. the index is about how well countries are using their resources. it shows how well they provide people with better health and longer and happier lives, and at what cost to their environment. it would seem to be a common sense that people in richer countries live happier lives, while those in developing countries are having a harder time. but the results are surprising, even shocking. the numbers show that some of the so-called developed countries are performing very badly. the united states, for example, ranks number 150. on the other hand, some little-known developing countries are doing a much better job. a tiny island in the pacific, vanuatu, comes in first. there are 178 countries and areas in the index. china ranks number 31. countries are graded on the basis of information supplied in response to the following questions. how do people feel about their lives? how long does an average person live? how much of its natural resources does a country need to use to keep its living standard? this is what the index calls the “ecological footprint”. the nef found that people from island nations enjoy the highest hpi rankings. the index points out that people in the us and germany enjoy similar lives. however, germanys ecological footprint is only about half that of the us. 69. the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refers to _.a. a song b. the beatles c. money d. love70. according to the passage, the most shocking thing is that _.a. vanuatu comes in first in the indexb. china ranks number 31 in the indexc. america comes in number 150d. there are 178 countries and areas in the index71. how many factors decide a countrys happy planet index according to the passage? a. two. b. three.c. four. d. five.72. what is the best title of the passage?a. being rich doesnt mean being happy.b. americans arent happy. c. people in small countries are happy.d. why arent people in rich countries happy?dont go to kauai. go to any of the other hawaiian islands maui, lanai, the big island but leave kauai for us. the weather on kauai is so unpredictable (不可预测的) that sometimes it rains all day in fact, its the second wettest spot on the earth. yes, there are giant double rainbows all the time, and the sunlight through the clouds is magical. but if you are not interested in these, go somewhere else. you just cant control nature on kauai, and who wants to surrender (屈服) to nature when you could be at a fine hotel, lying in a comfortable chair next to a swimming pool, with food served upon request? so what if kauai produces surf champions the way texas produces cowboys? most of its 300 white-sand beaches are unmarked. unless you connect with the local people, the hidden spots are hard to find. while hanalei is the most beautiful town youve ever dreamed of, you can forget about discos and clubs. worse, it doesnt have one single four-star restaurant. what it does have is the original drive-through places where you pass by a rambutan tree (红毛丹树), and pick a piece of fruit. shopping in kauai? forget about it unless you are interested in shell necklaces and beautifully carved wood bowls. kauai is not about pampering. its about going natural and finding the nature within you. its a do-it-yourself place that offers walking along the coast, diving and swimming in the pacific ocean, and lying on the beach. dont go to kauai unless you have a lot of time, because theres only one road, which can be slightly dull. it winds through the beautiful scenery of waterfalls, rivers flowing into the ocean, and taro (芋头) fields. you have no choice but to look at everything, because the speed limit is 35 mph. if youre not interested in color, dont bother with kauai, because thats what you get red roads, blue oceans, and a hundred different shades of green. its like diving on land. many people on kauai believe that this is lemuria a lost island in
