Frequencies of thunderstorms occurring in the world and the U.S. F. Shock waves as thunder G. Forming process of lightening Lightning has caused awe and wonder since old times. Although Benjamin Franklin demonstrated lightning as an enormous electrical discharge more than 200 years ago, many puzzles still surround this powerful phenomenon. 1 Lightning is generated when electrical charges separate in rain clouds, though processes are still not fully understood. Typically, positive charges build at the cloud top, while the bottom becomes negatively charged. In most instances of cloud-to-ground lightning, the negatively charged lower portion of the cloud repels negatively charged particles on the ground"s surfaces, making it become positively charged. The positive charge on the ground gathers at elevated points. 2 A flow of electrons begins between the cloud and earth. When the voltage charge becomes large enough, it breaks through the insulating barrier of air, and electrons zigzag earthward. We see the discharge as lightning. 3 Lightning can occur within a cloud, between clouds, or between clouds and the ground. The first variety, intra-cloud lightning, is the most frequent but is often hidden from our view. Cloud-to-ground lightning, making up about 20 percent of lightning discharges, is what we usually see. Lightning comes in several forms, including sheet, ribbon, and ball. Intra-cloud lightning can illuminate a cloud so it looks like a white sheet, hence its name. When cloud-to-ground lightning occurs during strong winds, they can shift the lightning channel sideways, so it looks like a ribbon. The average lightning strike is more than 3 miles long and can travel at a tenth of the speed of light. Ball lightning, the rarest and most mysterious form, derives its name from the small luminous ball that appears near the impact point, moves horizontally, and lasts for several seconds. 4 Thunder is generated by the tremendous heat released in a lightning discharge. Temperatures near the discharge can reach as high as 50,000℉ within thousandths of a second. This sudden heating acts as an explosion, generating shock waves we hear as thunder. 5 About 2,000 thunderstorms are occurring in the world at any time, generating about 100 lightning strikes every second, or 8 million daily. Within the United States, lightning strikes are estimated at 20 million a year, or about 22, 000 per day. You have a 1-in-600,000 chance of being struck by lightning during your lifetime. Lightning can strike twice or more in the same spot. The Empire State Building in New York is struck by lightning about two dozen times annually. You can measure how far you are from a lightning strike by counting the seconds between viewing the flash and hearing the bang, and then dividing by five. This approximates the mileage.

填空题Human languages enable their users to symbolize objects, events and concepts which are not present (in time and space) at the moment of communication. This quality is labeled as ______.

填空题●Passage 1● 1. But the Idols of the Marketplace are the most troublesome of all: idols which have crept into the understanding through the alliances of words and names. For men believe that their reason governs words; but it is also true that words react on the understanding; and this it is that has rendered philosophy and the sciences sophistical and inactive. ●Passage 2● 2. I, John Faustus of Wittenberg, Doctor, by these presents do give both body and soul to Lucifer, Prince of the East... ●Passage 3● 3. To go into solitude, a man needs to retire as much from his chamber as from society. I am not solitary whilst I read and write though nobody is with me. But if a man would be alone, let him look at the stars. The rays that come from those heavenly words, will separate between him and vulgar things. ●Passage 4● 4. Most Utopians, however, and among these all the wisest, believe nothing of the sort: the believe in a single power, unknown, eternal, infinite, inexplicable, far beyond the grasp of the human mind, and diffused throughout the universe, not physically, but in influence. ●Passage 5● 5. Nature, in its ministry to man, is not only the material, but is also the process and the result. All the parts incessantly work into each other"s hands for the profit of man. The wind sows the seed; the sun evaporates the sea; the wind blows the vapor to the field; the ice, on the other side of the planet, condenses rain on this; the rain feeds the plant; the plant feeds the animal; and thus the endless circulations of the divine charity nourish man. ●Passage 6● 6. The passions that build up our human Soul, Not with the mean and vulgar works of man, But with high objects, with enduring things, With life and nature, purifying thus The elements of feeling and of thought, And sanctifying, by such discipline, Both pain and fear; until we recognize A grandeur in the beating of the heart. ●Passage 7● 7. Success is counted sweetest By those who ne"er succeed. To comprehend a nectar Requires sorest need. ●Passage 8● 8. Of man"s first disobedience, and the fruit Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste Brought death into the world, and all our owe, With loss of Eden, till one greater Man Restore us, and regain the blissful seat ●Passage 9● 9. It the censure of Yahoos could any way affect me, I should have great reason to complain that some of them are so bold as to think my book of travels a mere fiction out of mine own brain. ●Passage 10● 10. I told you in the course of this paper that Shakespeare had a sister; but do not look for her in Sir Sidney Lee"s life of the poet. She died young—alas, she never wrote a word. She lies buried where the omnibuses now stop, opposite the Elephant and Castle. Now my belief is that this poet who never wrote a word and was buried at the crossroads still lives. She lives in you and in me, and in many other women who are not here tonight, for they are washing up the dishes and putting the children to bed. ●Authors● A. Christopher Marlowe B. Emily Dickinson C. Flannery O"Connor D. Francis Bacon E. John Milton F. Jonathan Swift G. Ralph Waldo Emerson H. Sir Thomas More I. T.S. Eliot J. Virginia Woolf K. William Shakespeare L. William Wordsworth

填空题In his 1988 best seller A Brief history of Time, Stephen Hawking made readers wonder: if the universe is expanding, where is it expanding to? Now Hawking has teamed up his daughter, Lucy 1 Hawking, to write George"s Secret Key to the Universe, the first in a trilogy of novels directed at the fertile minds of children. In an interview on e-mail, Hawking explains: 2 "The aim of the book is to encourage children"s sense of wonder at the universe. We want them to look up outward. 3 Only then will they be able to make the right decisions to safeguard the future of the human race." George"s Secret Key to the Universe , aimed 9-to 11-year-olds, 4 tells the story of a young boy, George, and a cheery astrophysicist, Eric, who talking computer opens a portal to the known 5 universe. The duo don spacesuits and use the portal to search for planets to which humanity can escape the irreversible 6 warming of the earth. Along the way, George and the reader learn from the basics of astrophysics and astronomy through 7 illustrations and captioned photographs. "You don"t need actual secret key to explore the universe," George ultimately 8 discovers. "There"s one that everyone can use. It"s called physics." The Hawkings portray the universe as harmony and 9 largely benign. But our present know ledge of the universe suggests that it is, in fact, a desolate and often violent expanse place in 10 which humankind plays an inconsequential role.

填空题A. Importance of Learning from Failure. B. Quality Shared by Most Innovators. C. Edison"s Innovations. D. Edison"s Comment on Failure. E. Contributions Made by Innovators. F. Miseries Endured by Innovators. G. Failure Is the Mother of Success. The striking thing about the innovators who succeeded in making our modern world is how often they failed. Turn on a light, take a photograph, watch TV, search the web, jet across the Pacific Ocean, talk on a cell phone. The innovators who left us these things had to find the way to success through a maze of wrong turn. 1 We have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edison"s success in heating a thin line to white, hot heat for 14 hours in his lab in New Jersey, US. He did that on October 22,1879, and followed up a month later by keeping a thread of common cardboard alight in an airless space for 45 hours. Three years later he went on to light up half a square mile of downtown Manhattan, even though only one of the six power plants in his design worked when he turned it on, on September 4,1882. 2 "Many of life"s failures", the supreme innovator said, "are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up". Before that magical moment in October 1879, Edison had worked out no fewer than 3,000 theories about electric light. But in only two cases did his experiments work. 3 No one likes failure, but the smart innovators learn from it. Mark Gumz, the head of the camera maker, Olympus America Inc. , attributes some of the company"s successes in technology to understanding failure. His popular phrase is: "You only fail when you quit". 4 Over two centuries, the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence. That is another way of saying they had the emotional ability to keep up what they were doing. Walt Disney, the founder of Disneyland, was so broke after a succession of financial failures that he was left shoeless in his office because he could not afford $1.50 to get his shoes from the repair shop. Pioneering Car maker Henry Ford failed with one company and was forced out of another before he developed the Model T Car. 5 Failure is harder to bear in today"s open, accelerated world Hardly any innovation works the first time. But an impatient society and the media want instant success. When American music and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time, a critic said nastily that the only difference between Geffen Records (Geffen"s company) and the Titanic (the ship that went down) was that the Titanic had better music. Actually, it wasn"t. After four years of losses, Geffen had so many hits he could afford a ship as big as the Titanic all to himself.
