12、 lecture is horology, the science of measuring time. The 1has come a long way since ancient times. It began with such devices as the sundial, where the position of the suns shadow marked the hour. Daylight was divided into 12 2, which were longer in the summer and shorter in the winter, simply becau

13、se the amount of daylight changes with the seasons. The earliest sundial we know comes from Egypt, which was made of stone. Sundials were used through the classical world, and with time, evolved into 3that could take into account seasonal changes and 4and reflect the hours accurately. This was quite

14、 an achievement in technology. Today, sundials can be seen as 5in many gardens. In the 11th century, the Chinese invented the first mechanical clocks . They were large and expensive, and certainly not 6. However, this is the type of clocks we are familiar with today. There have been many development

15、s in clocks and watches since then, and theyve been greatly improved. However, if your clock or watch makes a 7sound, then it could well be based on the mechanical movements the Chinese developed a thousand years ago! However, timekeeping has moved on from the mechanical clock. Time has become so im

27、rs who produced the first clad glass optical fibers were not thinking of using them for communications.H 1, fiber optics was already a well-established commercial technology when the famous paper by Kao and Hockham, 2 (claim)the use of low-loss optical fibers for communication, appeared in 1966. The

28、 first low-loss silica fiber was described in 3which appeared in October of 1970. The date of this publication is sometimes 4(cite)as the beginning of the era of fiber communication. Although this development did receive 5(consider)attention in the research community at the time, it was far from ine

29、vitable that a major industry would evolve. The technological barriers appeared formidable because there were serious doubts as to wh 6these fiber components could ever be produced economically enough, but the market potential was very significant. 7(consequence), research and development activity e

32、on_26.Section A_The latest Human Development Report from the United Nations Development Programme(UNDP)contains some good news, but also a very serious warning about the threat posed by climate change. The report, published annually since 1990, seeks to assess “human development“ around the world, a

33、nd calculates a “Human Development Index“(HDI)for 169 countries. The HDI is based on average income, life expectancy and level of education in a country. Not surprisingly, rich countries tend to have higher HDIs than poor countries, but there are interesting variations in human development among cou

34、ntries with similar levels of economic development, because some have better health and education systems than others. According to the 2010 report, the country with the highest level of human development is Norway , followed by Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Ireland. Most of the lowe

35、st HDIs belong to countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Almost all countries around the world have higher HDIs now than in 1990, despite the fact that since the 2008 financial crisis, the total number of people living in extreme poverty has increased. The report concludes that most people are healthier,

36、live longer, are better educated and have access to more goods and services. Even in countries with severe economic problems, peoples level of health and education has generally improved. Although sub-Saharan African countries are at the bottom of the pile in terms of human development, some of them

37、 have made significant progress since 1990. The report is critical, however, of the fact that economic inequality has increased significantly in the last twenty years, both within and between countries. The greatest threat to improving HDIs in the future, according to the report, is climate change.

38、Economic growth increases average incomes in a country through increasing production and consumption. However, if this leads to greater emissions of greenhouse gases, as has always been the case in the past, global warming will probably accelerate, and cause severe environmental problems in some par

39、ts of the world that will threaten the livelihoods of huge numbers of people. The progress of the last twenty years, therefore, might not be sustainable. The only solution, according to the report, is to break the link between economic growth and greenhouse gas emissionswhich, needless to say, is ea

Questions 5660 Complete the following form with no more than three words according to the passage. （分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_27.Section B_Transport and Trade 1By moving goods from places where they are plentiful to places where they are scarce, transport adds

41、to their value. The more easily goods can be brought over the distance that separates producer and consumer, the better for trade. When there were no railways, no good roads, no canals, and only small sailing ships, trade was on a small scale. 2Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to deve

42、lop between Britain and New Zealand, for instance. Quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big business, drawing supplies from, and selling goods to, all parts of the globe. Big factories could not exist without transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and from their

43、homes. Big city stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily from the suburbs and goods delivered to their homes. Big cities could not survive unless food could be brought from a distance. 3Much of the fish landed at the ports would be wasted if it could not be taken quickly

44、to inland towns. Transport has given us a much greater variety of foods and goods since we no longer have to live on what is produced locally. Foods which at one time could be obtained only during a part of the year can now be obtained all through the year. Transport has raised the standard of livin

45、g. 4Districts and countries can concentrate on making things which they can do better and more cheaply than others and can then exchange them with one another. The cheaper and quicker transport becomes the longer the distance over which goods can profitably be carded. Countries with poor transport have a lower standard of living. 5Means of communication, like
