26、O(总题数：1，分数：10.00)37.Museums are, like everything else, products of history. They have all changed a great deal over time and can change again. They need to. Museums spring, essentially, from the Enlightenment. The British Museum was founded in 1753, a century-and-a-half after Galileo, but a hundred

27、years before Darwin. The rapidly accumulating collections in the world s first public museums were a by-product of the birth of modern science, when researchers made discoveries by building collectionsa devils toenail, for example, entered museums as an object of wonder only later to be re-labeled a

28、s the fossil of an extinct oyster.In our post-Enlightenment age, the visible world has lost much of its mystery (which is perhaps why we care so little for it). Collecting is no longer a key method of research. Nor might so many people have visited museums in the past if they had been able to hop on

29、 a plane to see a kangaroo for themselves, or buy a book of color reproductions of Japanese prints, or watch, from the comfort of a couch, a computer simulation of a dinosaur sinking its teeth into its latest victim. Hence museum curators cannot go on running their museums as if the world hasnt chan

33、antages and disadvantages. Sometimes, however, the nature of the goods and the points of distribution limit a firms transportation choices. Messages can be transported by wire, airwaves, and beams of light; McDonalds hamburgers cannot.Railroads, airplanes, ships, trucks, and pipelines are our major

34、means of transportation. Goods are often transported by a combination of carriers. Truck trailers, for example, are loaded on flatcars and transported by rail to their destination, where a tractor hitches up to the trailer and speeds the goods on to another point. Ships and barges also are equipped

35、to carry trailers.The important factors to be considered by a manager who must select modes of transportation are cost and time, for shipping time is an important cost. g recent study of how best to ship fancy fruits from the Pacific Northwest to Scandinavia showed that it would be profitable to fly

36、 them by jet-cargo aircraft. The question then arose about what cargo should be flown back. After extensive study, it was decided that the return cargo should be automobiles.Railroads are best adapted to the transportation of bulk products that are low in value in relation to their weight and that m

37、ust travel great distances. Because trains can go only where there are tracks, railroads can directly serve only points on railroad lines.

38、es. The highway system permits trucks to reach almost every point in the nation and make deliveries directly to destinations without transferring goods. Trucks can stop within a city and move freely from warehouse to retailer and from retailer to consumer. In combination with railroads, trucks can m

39、ove goods long distances and make delivery directly without unloading and reloading.Over the past two decades, the use of air freight has increased greatly. Once thought of as a means to speed perishables or expensive but light products, air freight now uses high speed, supercargo planes, developed

40、for military operations, to move bulk goods. If tanks and cannons can be carried by plane, so can many industrial and consumer products.

41、ms that could not conveniently be carried by other means. Whole fabricated houses have been moved by helicopters from factory to home site, set on the foundation, and made livable by nightfall.

42、 it has proved cheaper to use helicopters than to build roads for trucks.Waterways have long served for transportation. Cargo ships and barges move bulky goods at low costand low speed. The loading of truck trailers directly onto ships and barges brings some flexibility to water transportation. Barg

43、es moved by tugboats have long been used to move railroad cars.

44、ners on the decks. New supershipsthe oil tankersare too big for many harbors, so offshore ports are being constructed for unloading.Pipelines are a special form of transportation used mainly to move gasoline, crude oil, and natural gas. It is now possible to move different petroleum products through

45、 a pipeline at the same time. Some solids have also been moved by pipeline. The Cleveland Electric Company uses a great deal of coal. When railroad freight rates rose, the company built a pipeline from the coal mines in West Virginia to Cleveland. The coal was ground into a powder that was mixed wit

46、h water to form a slush. The slush was hydraulically moved through the pipeline to Cleveland, where it was dried and burned. Many solid products could be moved in this manner. Pipelines usually move fluids, but in the future air or hydraulic action may help to move many other goods through them.填空项 1:_ （正确答案：carriers/means）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：bulk）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：highway system）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：transferring/uploading and reloading）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：perishables）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：containerization）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：container）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：natural gas）解析：填空项 1:_ （正确答案：solids/solid material
