If the sounds don’t harm the animals, then the researchers can go ahead with a plan to transmit sound waves through the Pacific Ocean to take the earth’s temperature. Sound travels faster through warm water than cold water. By analyzing the speed of sound through the ocean over a time, the scientists will be able to determine if our planet is warming up. The experiment was nearly cancelled more than a year ago because environmental groups feared that the sound would confuse or harm the sea animals. So, scientists are conducting tests on the animals first. The researchers lowered a loud speaker that emits low frequency sound about 1000 meters beneath the ocean. Scientists at the site transmit sound waves into the ocean. Radio transmitters attached to some of the sea animals help the researches keep track of the animals movements. If sea animals are distressed by the sounds, they would swim away from the speakers. So far, there aren’t any signs that the animals are being harmed. Researchers at the site noticed that large numbers of sea animals swim near the speaker whether it was turned on or off, but it is still too soon to know for sure, the scientists admit. The test will continue through September. if If all goes well, they say, fwe can begin measuring temperature changes on our planet. Questions 23 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.23. What is the purpose of analyzing the speed of sound through the Pacific Ocean?24. What was the reaction of the sea animals to the sound tests?25. For what purpose were radio transmitters used?23．A．To determine whether the Earth’s temperature is going up.B．To study the behavior of some sea animals.C．To measure the depths of the ocean.D．To measure the movement of waves on the ocean.正确答案：A 涉及知识点：听力24．A．They were frightened and distressed.B．They swam away when the speaker was turned on.C．They swam closer to “examine” the speaker when it was turned off.D．They didn’t seem to be frightened and kept swimming near the speaker.正确答案：D 涉及知识点：听力25．A．To attract more sea animals to the testing site.B．To drive dangerous sea animals away from the testing site.C．To help trace the sea animals being tested.D．To determine how sea animals communicate with each other.正确答案：C 涉及知识点：听力Section CSydney Opera House must be one of the most recognizable images of the modern world—up there with the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State Building and one of the most photographed.

It was 1961 before he had solved the problem of how to build the【B6】______feature —the “sails” of the roof. The venture experienced cost blow-outs and there were occasions when the NSW Government was tempted to【B7】______. In 1966 with arguments about cost and the interior design, and with the Government【B8】______progress payments, the situation reached crisis point. Then Jorn Utzon【B9】______the project.
