Angus Houst on said the crew on board the Ocean Shield will send the underwater vehicle sometime Monday evening. The Bluefin 21 submarine can create a sonar(声呐)map of the area to chartany wreckage(残骸)on the seafloor.
The move comes after crews picked up a series of underwater sounds over the past two weeks that were consistent with an aircraft"s black boxes.
“We haven’t had a single detection in six days, and l guess it’s time to go under water,” said Houston.
“Analysis of the four signals has reduced the search area on the ocean floor. The experts have therefore determined that the Australian Defense Vessel Ocean Shield will stop searching with the Towed Pinger Locator(拖曳声波定位仪)later today and use the underwater vehicle Bluefin 21 as soon as possible," he said at a news conference in Perth.
But Houston warned the switch to the submarine will not automatically "result in the detection of the aircraft wreckage. It may not.”
He said the submarine will take 24 hours to do each task, including two hours to dive, 16 hours to search the bottom, then two more hours hack up and four hours to download data.
Recovering the plane"s flight data and cockpit(飞行员座舱)voice recorders is necessary For investigators to try to figure out what happened to Flight 370, which disappeared on March 8.
Houston said the search using the submarine will be a slaw and painstaking process.
The submarine takes six times longer to cover the same area as the pinger locator,and will need about six weeks to two months to examine the present underwater zone. The signals are also coming from 4,500 meters (15,000 feet) below the surface, which is the deepest the submarine can dive.
小题1:The submarine will be sent deep into the Indian Ocean on Monday to _____ .
| A．create a sonar trap of the area |
| B．pick up underwater sounds |
| C．see if the signals detected are from the target black boxes |
| D．reduce the search area on the ocean floor |
| A．will download data of the black boxes |
| B．can find the aircraft wreckage within 24 hours |
| C．will recover the plane"s flight data and voice recorder |
| D．can dive to a depth of no more than 4,500 meters |
| A．the switch of the submarine may not function properly |
| B．the Ocean Shield will switch to submarine when it is necessary |
| C．the submarine will detect the wreckage of the plane automatically |
| D．the detection of the wreckage can"t be guaranteed by using the submarine |
| A．the underwater sounds were consistent with an aircraft"s black boxes |
| B．the submarine travels slowly and the ocean is deep |
| C．they haven"t had a single detection in six days |
| D．Ocean Shield stops searching wine the towed pinger locator |
答案
小题1:C
小题2:D
小题3:D
小题4:B
解析
试题分析:MH370失踪以来，人们在地面上未能找到任何痕迹。人们决定首次将潜航器送至深海检测那些被信号是否来自失事飞机的黑匣子。然而，由于潜航器的航行速度和大海的深度，这个过程将十分缓慢。
小题1:C。细节题。根据第一段PERTH—Search crews will send a submarine(潜航器)deep into the Indian Ocean on Monday for the first time to try to determine whether signals detected by sound-locating equipment are from the missing Malaysian plane"s black boxes可知，其目的是检测信号是否来自黑匣子。
小题2:D。细节题。根据文章最后一段The signals are also coming from 4,500 meters (15,000 feet) below the surface, which is the deepest the submarine can dive.可知，信号来自海底4500米深的地方，那也是潜航器能到达的最深的地方。故选D。
小题3:D。根据上下文猜测段落大意题。Result in:导致，以....为结局。通过分析划线部分可知，Houston认为潜航器的使用并不一定意味着能找到飞机残骸，也可能那不是失事飞机的残骸。故选D。
小题4:B。推理判断题。根据最后一段 The submarine takes six times longer to cover the same area as the ginger locator,and will need about six weeks to two months to examine the present underwater zone. 可知，潜航器比定位器要多花六倍的时间覆盖检查相同的地方，并且需要六周到两个月的时间检测水下区域。说明潜航器航行地非常慢，而最后一段说明信号来自水下4500米深的地方，所以要花很久的时间。故选B。

So 18 months ago，the students began what they call the Food Recovery Network.Each night，volunteers would show up at a campus dining hall to pick up leftovers and deliver them to area shelters and food banks.So far，they have donated more than 23 000 kilos of food that would otherwise have been thrown out.
Nationwide，$165 billion worth of food is wasted each year，according to the National Resources Defense Council.Spokesman Bob Keefe says that is about 40% of the country’s entire food production.“If we can reduce our waste in this country by 15%，we can feed 25 million hungry Americans.That is a huge benefit.That is what programs like this Food Recovery Network are doing，” he said.
Christian Life Center is one of the beneficiaries (受益者) of the students’ efforts.Ben Slye，the senior pastor (牧师)，said，“It has been just amazing to see these students take their own time，their own vehicles and own gas money and be able to make an effort like this.Each week we are able with this food probably to feed over hundred people.”
The University of Maryland’s Food Recovery Network now has 200 volunteers and the program has expanded to 18 schools across the country.“I want to grow 18 chapters to a thousand chapters within five years.And once we get to the Food Recovery Nation being at every college campus in America，we want to expand to restaurants and farms.” said Simon.

Peng Liyuan has been wearing Ma Ke’s designs for more than a decade，a fact that was only highlighted recently when she was on her first state visit，accompanying her husband President Xi Jinping.The elegant and attractive Peng，formerly a popular singer，has been compared with the US’ first lady Michelle Obama and France’s Carla BruniSarkozy，since stepping off the airplane in Moscow on March 22.Suddenly，everyone was curious to know more about the first lady’s wardrobe.
Even so，Ma prefers a lowkey approach.“If you eat a tasty egg why would you want to see the hen？” she says of all the media attention.
Ma’s relationship with Peng began 10 years ago after a concert in Guangzhou when a reporter told Peng she knew the designer behind the label Exception de Mixmind.Peng asked for an introduction because she was a fan of Ma’s designs and had been wearing them for years.
The two naturally became friends.Ma says：“The painting reflects the painter，and clothes reflect both the designer and the wearer.Someone desires fame and wealth，or love and sympathy；what you have in your heart is reflected in the design.Those who don’t share my philosophy won’t buy my clothes.Peng is a caring person，devoted to charity and environmental protection，which is exactly what I’m doing now.”
However，regardless of the brand，Peng’s support of Chinese labels has surprised millions of Chinese who favor foreign fashion brands.
“Instead she presented a vision of Chinese fashion，desiring to bring Chinese designers to the world stage，” says a western designer.
The first lady’s doublebreasted coat and her black leather handbag aren’t available at any of Exception’s shops，though Exception’s physical stores do have seen a rising number of visitors.

The full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief, others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the hurry of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia—where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia (安乐死). In the US and Canada, where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米诺骨牌) to start falling.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death — probably by a deadly injection or pill — to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed (诊断) as Terminally Ill by two doctors. After a “cooling off” period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. “I’m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I’d go, because I’ve watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks,” he says.
小题1: Which of the following has the similar meaning to “But the tide is unlikely to turn back.”?
| A．What happened in Australia can change world history. |
| B．It is impossible to pass the NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law. |
| C．Doctors are allowed by law to take the lives of the ill patients. |
| D．That the Law has been passed probably can’t be changed. |
| A．the objection to euthanasia is slow to come in other countries |
| B．physicians and citizens share the same view on euthanasia |
| C．changing technology is chiefly responsible for the hurry passage of the law |
| D．it takes time to realize the significance of the law’s passage |
| A．observers are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the future of euthanasia |
| B．similar bills are likely to be passed in the U.S., Canada and other countries |
| C．observers are waiting to see the result of the game of dominoes |
| D．the effect-taking process of the passed bill may finally come to a stop |
| A．will face his death with calm when dying |
| B．experiences a lot the suffering of a lung cancer |
| C．has an intense fear of terrible suffering |
| D．undergoes a cooling off period of seven days |
| A．opposition | B．doubt | C．approval | D．anxiety |
There are among some 40 collections that are being shown at “The Museum Of”—the first of several new museums which, over the next two years, will exhibit the objects accumulated by unknown collectors. In doing so, they will promote a popular culture of museums, not what museums normally represent.
Some of the collections are fairly common—records, model houses. Others are strangely beautiful—branches that have fallen from tree, for example. But they all reveal （显露）a lot of things: ask someone what they collect and their answers will tell you who they are.
Other on the way include “The museum of Collectors” and “The Museum of Me.”These new ones, it is hoped, will build on the success of “The Museum Of.” The thinkers behind the project want to explore why people collect, and what it means to do so. They hope that visitors who may not have considered themselves collectors will begin to see they, too, collect.
Some collectors say they started or stopped making collections at important point: the beginning or end of adolescence—“it’s a growing-up thing; you stop when you grow up,”says one. Other painful times are mentioned, such as the end of a relationship. For time and life can seem so uncontrollable that a steady serial（顺序排列的）arrangement is comforting.
小题1:How will the new museums promote a popular culture of museums?
| A．By collecting more tangible things. |
| B．By showing what ordinary people have collected. |
| C．By correcting what museums normally represent. |
| D．By accumulating 40 collections two years from now. |
| A．Who they are. |
| B．How old they are. |
| C．Where they were born. |
| D．Why they might not mean to collect. |
| A．To help people sell their collections. |
| B．To encourage more people to collect. |
| C．To study the significance of collecting. |
| D．To find out why people visit museums. |
| A．become adults |
| B．feel happy with life |
| C．are ready for a relationship |
| D．feel time to he uncontrollable |
Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring, because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace. Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables, nuclear and carbon, and that the country is committed to meeting EU ( European Union) targets for non-carbon energy generation.
Against this background, the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms" impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary. The two parties in the coalition (联合) government are in disagreement over what it should say.
We have some advice for the two parties: publish the report, and let the country be the judge. Even if it contains evidence that wind farms are harmful, it will hardly be a pleasant surprise to people who do not like them. Equally, supporters must argue their case by acknowledging the concerns and explaining why they are either misplaced or worthy of much attention.
The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an "acceptable" report suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country harm in a certain way. Given the sensitivities involved, all the information should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with the suspicion（猜疑）that facts are being replaced by political beliefs.
小题1:We can learn from the first paragraph that__________.
| A．energy policy catches much attention of the public |
| B．the residents are in favor of the expansion of wind farms |
| C．many village communities are satisfied with the subsidies |
| D．the planning laws offer great benefits to the residents |
| A．is more rapid than that of carbon-based power |
| B．guarantees an increase in energy output |
| C．is expected to be much better than that of nuclear power |
| D．agrees with EU targets for non-carbon energy generation |
| A．an official report will settle the energy problem |
| B．the two parties are divided over the issue of wind farms |
| C．the two parties have agreed on a further negotiation |
| D．political beliefs concerning energy issue go against facts |
| A．Increase political impact on energy policy. |
| B．Release a statement of supporters on wind farms. |
| C．Let the nation judge the facts about wind power. |
| D．Leave the two parties to reach their own conclusions. |
