17、ystem for about $ 450. It consisted of a control unit with three small units. I put the control unit in the sitting-room and fastened the other units by the front door, back door and living-room windows. The instructions told us to choose three numbers, so we chose 4, 9 and 1, the last three numbers

18、 of our telephone number. Now I must explain how the alarm works: l There is a power siren(警报器 ) in the control unit. It makes a very loud noise. 2 Each of the small units sends out beams or rays in different directions. If anything moves, it breaks a beam. This sends a signal to the control unit. T

19、he siren makes a noise which you can hear 50 meters away. 3. When we go to bed, I press the three buttons numbered 4, 9 and 1. Then we have 30 seconds to get out of the room before the alarm starts to work. That night I slept soundly because I was sure that no burglar(夜贼 ) could get into our house.

20、However, at about 2:10 a. m., I woke up and heard the siren. “There must be a burglar in the house,” Mary said. “What shall we do ”“Ill go and see whos there,” I said. “Stay here. Dont make a noise.”I went downstairs quietly. When I reached the living-room, I switched on my torch and looked round th

21、e room. Then I turned the light on. I switched the siren off and searched the rooms downstairs. There was nothing wrong except that the back door was unlocked. I locked it, reset the alarm and went back to bed. About an hour later, the alarm started again. I jumped out of bed, fell over a chair in t

22、he dark and bumped into the bedroom door. Mary woke up and started hitting me with a torch. “Hey! Wait a minute!” I whispered. “Its only me. Im going downstairs to see whats wrong.”I went down into the living-room and listened for a moment. The only sound I could hear was the siren. I turned on the

23、light and then switched the siren off. As I did so, I glanced across at the curtains in front of the windows. I saw a house lizard (a kind of small animal) disappear behind the curtains.“Oh!” I said to myself. “Thats our burglar. ”When the lizard moved, it started the siren. I guessed that the alarm

Would I please come and do something about it I did not know what I could do, but I got onto a horse and started out. I took my gun, m

29、aybe too small to kill an elephant, but I thought the noise might scare him. Various local people stopped me on the way and told me about the elephants doings. It was not, of course, a wild elephant, but a tame one. It had been chained up but last night it had broken its chain and escaped. Its owner

30、 had set out to run after it, but had taken the wrong direction. He was now twelve hours journey away, and in the morning the elephant had suddenly appeared in the town. It had already destroyed somebodys bamboo hut (棚屋 ), killed a cow and turned over fruit stalls. I came round the hut and saw a man

31、s dead body sprawling in the mud. He was an Indian, and he could not have been dead many minutes. The people said that the elephant caught him with its trunk, put its foot on his back and grounded him into the earth. This was the rainy season and he was lying on his stomach in the soft mud, the peac

32、ebreaker standing beside, looking innocent. As I lifted my gun, I hesitated a few seconds. Then I fired. That was a shot for him. You could see the pain of it knocking the last strength from his legs. But in falling he seemed for a moment to rise, his trunk reaching skyward like a tree. He trumpeted

36、ches and scrapes, but actually repairs itself within a few days. The new material, developed by Nippon Paint Company, contains an elastic rubbery-like resin(弹性树脂 ) that is able to heal minor marks caused by car wash equipment, parking lot encounters, road debris (石头碎片 ) or even on-purpose destructio

37、n. The automaker admits its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage, but adds this is the only paint like it in the world, and tests prove it works. Minor scratches, the most common type, are said to slowly fade over about a week. And once theyre gone, there is no trace

38、 that they were ever there. The special paint is said to last for at least three years after it is first applied, but there is no word yet on whether more can be added after that period. Nissan claims car washes are the worst offenders for this type of damage, accounting for at least 80 percent of a

39、ll incidents. But the complete auto-healing wont come without scratching your wallet. The vehicle maker notes the special paint adds about $ 100 U.S. to the price of a car. It plans to use its new chemical mixture only on its X - Trail SUVs in Japan for now, as it looks for a more widespread present

43、D. 【小题 2】 C. 【小题 3】 B It is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists between all forms of life. No living thing can exist by itself. It is part of a system in which all forms of life are joined together. If we change one part of the

44、nature order, this will almost certainly bring about changes in some other parts. The cutting of forests reduced the supply of oxygen. The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals led to the wide-spread poisoning of animals and birds. The throwing of waste products into the ocean hurt life in the s

45、ea, while waste gases changed the chemical balance of the atmosphere and shut out some of the suns necessary life-giving rays. And so we could go on adding more examples until in despair(绝望 ) we might feel like giving up the struggle to control these harmful human activities. Man is very clever at c
