15、ening 17 Test 1 READING PASSAGE 1 You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 113, which are based on Reading Passage I A Bats have a problem: how to find their way around in the dark.They hunt at night, and cannot use light to help them find prey and avoid obstacles. You might say that this is a
16、 problem of their own making, one that they could avoid simply by changing their habits and hunting by day. But the daytime economy is already heavily exploited by other creatures such as birds. Given that there is a living to be made at night, and given that alternative daytime trades are thoroughl
17、y occupied, natural selection has favoured bats that make a go of the night-hunting trade. It is probable that the nocturnal trades go way back in the ancestry of all mammals. In the time when the dinosaurs dominated the daytime economy, our mammalian ancestors probably only managed to survive at al
18、l because they found ways of scraping a living at night. Only after the mysterious mass extinction of the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago were our ancestors able to emerge into the daylight in any substantial numbers. B Bats have an engineering problem: how to find their way and find their prey
19、 in the absence of light. Bats are not the only creatures to face this difficulty today. Obviously the night-flying insects that they prey on must find their way about somehow Deep-sea fish and whales have little or no light by day or by night. Fish and dolphins that live in extremely muddy water ca
20、nnot see because, although there is light, it is obstructed and scattered by the dirt in the water. Plenty of other modern animals make their living in conditions where seeing is difficult or impossible. C Given the questions of how to manoeuvre in the dark, what solutions might an engineer consider
21、?The first one that might occur to him is to manufacture light, to use a lantern or a searchlight. Fireflies and some fish (usually with the help of bacteria) have the power to manufacture their own light, but the process seems to consume a large amount of energy. Fireflies use their light for attra
22、cting mates.This doesnt require a prohibitive amount of energy: a males tiny pinprick of light can be seen by a female from some distance on a dark night, since her eyes are exposed directly to the light source itself. However; using light to find ones own way around requires vastly more energy, sin
23、ce the eyes have to detect the tiny fraction of the. light that bounces off each part of the scene.The light source must therefore be immensely below. Lets Co Bats 18 Reading brighter if it is to be used as a headlight to illuminate the path, than if it is to be used as a signal to others. In any ev
24、ent, whether or not the reason is the energy expense, it seems to be the case that, with the possible exception of some weird deep-sea fish, no animal apart from man uses manufactured light to find its way about. D What else might the engineer think of? Well, blind humans sometimes seem to have an u
25、ncanny sense of obstacles in their path. It has been given the name facial vision, because blind people have reported that it feels a bit like the sense of touch, on the face. One report tells of a totally blind boy who could ride his tricycle at good speed round the block near his home, using facia
26、l vision. Experiments showed that, in fact, facial vision is nothing to do with touch or the front of the face, although the sensation may be referred to the front of the face, like the referred pain in a phantom limb.The sensation of facial vision, it turns out, really goes in through the ears. Bli
27、nd people, without even being aware of the fact, are actually using echoes of their own footsteps and of other sounds, to sense the presence of obstacles. Before this was discovered, engineers had already built instruments to exploit the principle, for example to measure the depth of the sea under a
28、 ship. After this technique had been invented, it was only a matter of time before weapons designers adapted it for the detection of submarines. Both sides in the Second World War relied heavily on these devices, under such codenames as Asdic (British) and Sonar (American), as well as Radar (America
29、n) or RDF (British), which uses radio echoes rather than sound echoes. E The Sonar and Radar pioneers didnt know it then, but all the world now knows that bats, or rather natural selection working on bats, had perfected the system tens of millions of years earlier; and theirradar achieves feats of d
30、etection and navigation that would strike an engineer dumb with admiration. It is technically incorrect to talk about bat radar, since they do not use radio waves. It is sonar But the underlying mathematical theories of radar and sonar are very similar; and much of our scientific understanding of th
31、e details of what bats are doing has come from applying radar theory to them.The American zoologist Donald Griffin, who was largely responsible for the discovery of sonar in bats, coined the term echolocation to cover both sonar and radar, whether used by animals or by human instruments. 19 Test 1 Q

34、 your answer sheet. Facial Vision Blind people report that so-called facial vision is comparable to the sensation of touch on the face. In fact, the sensation is more similar to the way in which pain from a 6 arm or leg might be felt. The ability actually comes from perceiving 7 through the ears. Ho

As towns g
41、radually expanded, water was brought from increasingly remote sources, leading to sophisticated engineering efforts such as dams and aqueducts. At the height of the Roman Empire, nine major systems, with an innovative layout of pipes and well-built sewers, supplied the occupants of Rome with as much
42、 water per person as is provided in many parts of the industrial world today. B During the industrial revolution and population explosion of the 19th and 20th centuries, the demand for water rose dramatically. Unprecedented construction of tens of thousands of monumental engineering projects designe
43、d to control floods, protect clean water supplies, and provide water for irrigation and hydropower brought great benefits to hundreds of millions of people. Food production has kept pace with soaring populations mainly because of the expansion of artificial irrigation systems that make possible the
44、growth of 40 % of the worlds food. Nearly one fifth of all the electricity generated worldwide is produced by turbines spun by the power of falling water. C Yet there is a dark side to this picture: despite our progress, half of the worlds population still suffers, with water services inferior to th
45、ose available to the ancient Greeks and Romans. As the United Nations report on access to water reiterated in November 2001, more than one billion people lack access to clean drinking water; some two and a half billion do not have adequate sanitation services. Preventable water-related diseases kill
46、 an estimated 10,000 to 20,000 children every day, and the latest evidence suggests that we are falling behind in efforts to solve these problems. D The consequences of our water policies extend beyond jeopardising human health. Tens of millions of people have been forced to move from their homes -
47、often with little warning or compensation - to make way for the reservoirs behind dams. More than 20 % of all freshwater fish species are now threatened or endangered because dams and water withdrawals have destroyed the free-flowing river ecosystems where they thrive. Certain irrigation practices d

And disputes over shared water resources have led to violence and continue to raise local, national and ev

The focus is slowly shifting back to the provision of basic human and environmental needs as top priority - ensuring some for all, instead of more for some. Some water experts are now demanding that existing infrastructure be used in smarter ways rather than building new facilities, which is increasingly considered the option of last, not first, resort.
