山东大学研究生新闻英语2听力2单元

第2单元2013年山东大学网络学习新闻英语二，网上虽然有些答案但是不大一样，也没有听力原文，这里的最全准备 1.Exercise 1: Listen to this passage and decide whether the following statements are true or false, write T for true and F for false. 听力文本： Airport Security Screens Passengers Using New TechnologyChecking baggage for explosives hasnt been a problem. Airport security can put bags in x-ray machines, open them up to look inside, or use advanced machinery that that check traces of chemicals often used in explosives. But checking peoples bodies isnt so easy. A TSA initiative that began last September to rigorously frisk more people led to dozens of sexual harassment complaints. So the TSA turned to technology installing what looks like a longer, more complex walk-through metal detectors in nine airports around the country. Jose Ralls is the TSA director from McCarran International in Las Vegas. Jose Ralls: The machine actually will talk to the individual, telling them to stand inside and wait, and as soon as they are cleared, it will tell them to proceed. From a distance, Mr. Ralls watches one airport passenger go through the process. Jose Ralls: Now he knows to go on through, and he just waits, and as soon as the air is analyzed he will be allowed to proceed forward. The machine blasts air downward and across whoever inside the portal. Mr. Ralls says that often startles people. Jose Ralls: Thats why our focus out there is to explain to them what will be taking place,the noise that they will be hearing. The way its supposed to work is that suspicious particles on clothing and exposed skin are blasted towards the floor - where, within seven seconds, the machine can detect 40 types of explosives. If any are found, security is alerted. According to the manufacturer, Smith Detection, the portals also have less than 1% error rate. Company vice president Mark Lastra says this technology is commonly used elsewhere. Smith Detection: Mostly highly controlled facilities, sensitive security, such as nuclear power plants and government buildings with high security needs. Along with increasing security, the TSA hopes to cut down on passenger wait times. It is collecting data from the airports in this test base to see if the machines are faster and more efficient than human inspectors. The Transportation Security Administration plans to deploy five more of these portals elsewhere in the nation by late spring. Eventually it would like the explosive detectors to be as common as metal detectors.

Computer Simulations Might Predict Future Earthquakes Geologists say they knew a larger earthquake was coming in South Asia, but they did not know when. The Himalayan Mountains were formed some 150 million years ago after the landmass that is now India broke off from Antarctica, drifted north and collided with the rest of Asia. Scientists say the South Asian land mass is still moving towards North Asia at the rate of about two centimeters a year, making the area prone to earthquakes. Harley Benz is a researcher at the U.S. Geological Survey earthquake information center. Harley Benz: Its a broad zone of deformation, and across this zone that extends 1,000 kilometers, you have a whole series of faults and folds. Another earthquake-prone region is along the 1300 kilometer San Andreas Fault in California. It is here that John Rundle, a physics and engineering professor at the University of California at Davis, is testing his earthquake computer simulation. John Rundle: You take these simulations, you turn them on, you run them and you do as good a job as possible in simulating or representing the past history of activity on the fault systems. Dr. Rundle uses information from tools such as global positioning satellites to create a virtual reality model of thousands of years of earthquake activity along the San Andreas Fault. He says that in the future, this computer model may be able to predict some earthquakes just as hurricane paths are now forecast. John Rundle: Our goal is to be able to make forecasts on that kind of time scale and then to improve it to the point where were actually able to see the preparation process in the months and year or two leading up to a large earthquake. Dr. Rundle says that several decades from now, one third of the worlds population could live in seismically active regions. He hopes that by then, the virtual reality software will help prevent the heavy loss of life caused by tragedies such as the South Asia earthquake.
