9、第一篇： Captain Cook Arrow Legend（C级）It was a great legend while it lasted, but DNA testing has finally ended a two-century-old story of the Hawaiian arrow carved from the bone of British explorer Captain James Cook who died in the Sandwich Islands1 in 1779.“There is no Cook2 in the Australian Museum,”

10、 museum collection manager Jude Philip said not long ago in announcing the DNA evidence that the arrow was not made of Cooks bone. But that will not stop the museum from continuing to display the arrow in its exhibition, “Uncovered: Treasures of the Australian Museum3,” which does include a feather

11、cape presented to Cook by Hawaiian King Kalaniopuu in 1778.Cook was one of Britains great explorers and is credited with discovering the “Great South Land,” now Australia, in 1770. He was clubbed to death in the Sandwich Islands, now Hawaii. The legend of Cooks arrow began in 1824 when Hawaiian King

12、 Kamehameha on his deathbed gave the arrow to William Adams, a London surgeon and relative of Cooks wife, saying it was made of Cooks bone after the fatal fight with islanders.In the 1890s the arrow was given to the Australian Museum and the legend continued until it came face-to-face with science.D

13、NA testing by laboratories in Australia and New Zealand revealed the arrow was not made of Cooks bone but was more likely made of animal bone, said Philp.However, Cooks fans refuse to give up hope that one Cook legend will prove true and that part of his remains will still be uncovered, as they say

14、there is evidence not all of Cooks body was buried at sea in 1779. “On this occasion technology has won,4” said Cliff Thornton, president of the Captain Cook Society, in a statement from Britain. “But I am sure that one of these daysone of the Cook legends will prove to be true and it will happen on

15、e day.”第二篇： Avalanche and Its Safety (C级)An avalanche is a sudden and rapid flow of snow, often mixed with air and water, down a mountainside. Avalanches are among the biggest dangers in the mountains for both life and property.All avalanches are caused by an over-burden of material, typically snowp

16、ack, that is too massive and unstable for the slope that supports it. Determining the critical load, the amount of over-burden which is likely to cause an avalanche, is a complex task involving the evaluation of a number of factors.Terrain slopes flatter than 25 degrees or steeper than 60 degrees ty

17、pically have a low risk of avalanche. Snow does not gather significantly on steep slopes; also, snow does not flow easily on flat slopes. Human-triggered avalanches have the greatest incidence when the snows angle of rest is between 35 and 45 degrees; the critical angle, the angle at which the human

18、 incidence of avalanches is greatest, is 38 degree. The rule of thumb is : A slope that is flat enough to hold snow but steep enough to ski has the potential to generate an avalanche, regardless of the angle. Additionally, avalanche risk increases with use; that is, the more a slope is disturbed by

19、skiers, the more likely it is that an avalanche will occur.Due to the complexity of the subject, winter traveling in the backcountry is never 100% safe. Good avalanche safety is a continuous process, including route selection and examination of the snowpack, weather conditions, and human factors. Se

20、veral well-known good habits can also reduce the risk. If local authorities issue avalanche risk reports, they should be considered and all warnings should be paid attention to. Never follow in the tracks of others without your own evaluations; snow conditions are almost certain to have changed sinc

21、e they were made. Observe the terrain and note obvious avalanche paths where plants are missing or damaged. Avoid traveling below others who might trigger an avalanche.第三篇： Giant Structures (C级)It is an impossible task to select the most amazing wonders of the modem world since every year more wonde

22、rful constructions appear. Here are three giant structures which are worthy of our admirationalthough they may have been surpassed by some more recent wonders.The Petronas Twin Towers The Petronas Towers were the tallest buildings in the world when they were completed in 1999. With a height of 452 m

23、etres, the tall twin towers, like two thin pencils, dominate the city of Kuala Lumpur. At the 41st floor, the towers are linked by a bridge, symbolizing a gateway to the city. The Americanarchitect Cesar Pelli designed the skyscrapers. Constructed of high-strength concrete, the building provides aro

24、und 1,800 square metres of office space on every floor. And it has a shopping centre and a concert hall at the base. Otherfeaturesof this impressive building include double-decker lifts, and glass and steel sunshades.The Millau Bridge The Millau Bridge was opened in 2004 in the Tam Valley, in southe

25、rn France. Atthe time it was built, it was the worlds highest bridge,reachingover 340m at the highest point. The bridge is described as one of the most amazingly beautiful bridges in the world. It was built torelieve Millaus congestion problems. The congestion was then caused by traffic passing from

26、 Paris to Barcelona in Spain. The bridge was built to withstand the most extreme seismic and climatic conditions. Besides, it is guaranteed for 120 years!The Itaipu DamThe Itaipu hydroelectric power plant is one of the largest constructions of its kind in the world. It consists of a series of dams a

27、cross the River Parana, whichforms a natural border between Brazil and Paraguay. Started in 1975 and taking 16 years to complete, the construction was carried out as a joint project between the twocountries. The dam is well-known for both its electricity output and its size. In 1995 it produced 78%

28、of Paraguays and 25% of Brazilsenergyneeds. In its construction, the amount of iron and steel used was equivalent to over 300 Eiffel Towers. It is a trulyamazing wonder of engineering.第四篇： Animals “Sixth Sense”（C级）A tsunami was triggered by an earthquake in the Indian Ocean in December, 2004. It kil

29、led tens of thousands of people in Asia and East Africa. Wild animals, however, seem to have escaped that terrible tsunami. This phenomenon adds weight to notions that they possess a “sixth sense” for disasters , experts said.Sri Lankan wildlife officials have said the giant waves that killed over 2

30、4,000 people along the Indian Ocean islands coast clearly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found. “No elephants are dead, not even a dead rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening.” H.D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lankas W

31、ildlife Department, said about one month after the tsunami attack. The waves washed floodwaters up to 2 miles inland at Yala National Park in the ravaged southeast, Sri Lankas biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants and several leopards.“There has been a lot of apparent evide

32、nce about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proven,” said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behavior specialist at Johannesburg Zoo.“There have been no specific studies because you cant really test it in a lab or field setting2,” he told Reuters. Other authorities concurred with this assessment.“Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenomenon, especially birds there are many reports of birds detecting impending disasters,” said Clive Walker, wh
