18、Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.2. It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors (先驱)can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned

19、 with the presentation of some forms of ideal society, a theme that is still often found in modern stories.3. Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, to mention just two well-known author

20、s, have been translated into many languages.4. Modern science fiction writers dont write about men from Mars(火星) or space adventure stories.

Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more people live longer, there are more people around at any given time.

26、 In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates that has led to the population explosion.Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load.

Unless these people were able to sav

29、e money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security cheeks that are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or govern

30、ment insurance, they must often “go on welfare“ if they have a serious illness.When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Tod

31、ay, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals (康复医院)have been built. These are often profit-making organizations, although some are sponsored by

32、 religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply “dumping grounds“ for the dying in which “care“ is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under skilled personnel.（分数：15.00）(1).The writer believes that the population explosion results from_.（分

37、tical.B第二篇/BOceanographyOceanography has been defined as “the application of all sciences to the study of the sea. “Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go t

38、o sea to farther his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental (大陆间的 ) travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the

39、question-“ what is at the bottom of the oceans?“ had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile(起伏形状)of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.

40、It was to Maury of the LIS Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings(测水深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some

41、 of his findings aroused much. popular interest in his book “The Physical Geography of the Sea“.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairing it was found to be covered with livin

42、g creatures, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872, Thomson led a scientific expedition (考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Th
