19、anyon(大峡谷 )， gazing across this giant would in the Earths surface, a visitor might assume that the canyon had been caused by some ancient convulsing (震动 ). In fact, the events that produced the canyon, far from being sudden and catastrophic, simply add up to the slow and orderly process of erosion.

20、Many millions of years ago, the Colorado Plateau in the Grand Canyon area contained 1000 more feet of rock than it does today and was relatively level. The additional material consisted of some 14 layered formations of rock. In the Grand Canyon region these layers were largely worn away over the cou

22、ll going on. As the plateau gradually rose, shallow rivers that winded across it began to run more swiftly and cut more definite courses. One of these rivers, located east of the upward, was the ancestor of the Colorado. Another river system, called the Hualapai, flowing west of the upward, extended

23、 itself eastward by cutting back into the upward, it eventually connected with the ancient Colorado and captured its waters.

34、 failed to note the obvious root cause of the global fish crisis, which is not new technologies but the explosion of world population.

Peter Paul: As a person with some 35 years of membership in various conservation groups, and after writing thousands of emails, letters, and protest forms, I arrived at the sad conclusion that nothing I did mattered one bit. When the

36、 catch drops below the cost of operating expenses, the industry will die, taking the health of the ocean with it. We will then all stand back and wonder why we let it happen. Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements A

37、 Overfishing results from extensive use of new technologies. B Many people in my place support stricter regulation on fishing. C I think that you failed to point out the real reason for overfishing. D We are in a very weak position to compete with other countries in fishing. E Sooner or later, we wi
