    Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man: since reeords began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities (死 亡)have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related destruction has been be-vond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to falling down of buildinqs and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, gigantic sea waves, and other phenomena (现象)resulting from earthquakes, rather than from the quakes themselves . The great majority of all earthquakes occur Off two specific areas, along the coasts of the Pacific Ocean and from the East Indies to the Atlas Mountains. But they may, however, happen anywhere at any time. This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the fear and horror sur-rounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake prediction may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earth's surface and other unusual phenomena, scientists have shown increasing Success in predieting when and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, a worldwide earthquake-warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected. It is. doubtful, that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and do away with the destructiveness altogether.but as how. and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible destruction before it occurs .

    BUnusual behavior of animals may be an indication of possible earthquakes.

    Mr.Jones had a big tree in his garden,and the children had tied a long _27_ to one of the branches,so that they could swing on it.

    Mr.Jones saw the professor _28_ when he saw the rope and looked carefully up and down the roaD.When he saw that there was _29_ in sight,he stepped into the garden(there was no fence),put his umbrella,newspaper,bag and hat nearly on the grass and _30_ the rope.He pulled it _31_ to see whether it was strong enough to take his weight,then ran as fast as he could and swung into the _32_ on the end of the rope,his grey hair blowing all around _33_._34_ he swung,sometimes taking a few more _35_ steps on the grass when the rope began to swing too slowly for him.

    At last the professor stopped,straightened his tie,combed his hair carefully,put on his hat,picked up his umbrella,newspaper and bag,and continued on his way to the university,looking as quiet and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be.

  • The next time you try for a high-ranking post,you could let your possible boss listen to a recommending (推荐)phone call“made”by US President George W.Bush or British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Of course,neither of them could really do that for you—you would just“borrow”their voices. AT & T labs will start selling speech software that it says is so good at reproducing the sounds of a human voice that it can recreate voices and even bring the voices of long-dead famous people back to life. The software,which turns printed text into speech,makes it possible for a company to use recordings of a person's voice to say things that the person never actually said. Possible customers for the software,which is priced in the thousands of dollars,includes telephone call centers,companies that make software that reads digital(数字的)files aloud,and makers of automated voice devices(装置).The advances raise several problems. Who,for example,owns the rights to a famous person’s voice? Some experts even believe that new contracts(合同)will be drawn that include voice-licensing clauses. And although scientists say the technology is not yet good enough to commit fraud(假冒),would the synthesized(合成的)voices at last be able to trick people into thinking that they were getting phone calls or digital audio recordings from people they know? Even Mr.Fruchterman,one of AT & T labs' possible first customers,said he wondered what the new technology might bring.“Just like you can’t trust photograph any more.”he said,“you won’t be able to trust a voice either.

    3. If the speech software were widely used,______.

    Apeople would no longer believe each other

    Bit would not be necessary to go for a speech by a famous person

    Cno radio or TV broadcasters would be needed

    Drecording of a voice alone would not be taken as a proof in the court
