4 u% G9 g* p) T6 e, E# c) `小马过河-新托福专业备考社区I want to talk today about some studies that seem to indicate that there has been a startling adj.令人吃惊的world-wide decline in the number of amphibians n.两栖动物，水陆两用飞机汽车 such as frogs 青蛙, toads 蟾蜍and salamanders 火蜥蜴. There is little doubt that one reason why the number of amphibians is declining is that their habitats生活环境，栖息地 are being destroyed. When developers fill in ponds池塘 and marshes湿地，沼泽 to build houses, amphibians can't just move somewhere else. They need water to lay their eggs in. Another problem is the growing fish industry. A narrow range of popular edible可食用的 fish, such as carp鲤鱼, has been introduced to many lakes and ponds all over the world. Raising and selling these fish can be profitable, but the fish eat the eggs and the offspring of amphibians that were already living the lakes and ponds. Other factors that could be contributing to the decline include acid rain and the spread of the pesticide residues农药残留. Many pesticides 杀虫剂that the farmers applied to将```应用于 their crops are eventually washed away by the rain and end up结束 in ponds or other bodies of water where amphibians live. Amphibians are especially vulnerable adj.易受攻击的 to the pesticides dissolved in the water because of their moist adj.潮湿的n潮湿. skins. Water can pass through an amphibian's skin allowing toxins毒素 dissolved in the water to enter the amphibian's body. 小马过河% T7 |& L1 `" X! N" o: x% N

My name is Sally Porter. You asked for people to speak out大声地说 who are against demolishing vt.毁坏，破坏，推翻 the old Kensington Hotel to put up a new shopping mall, and I'm one of those people.  I realize that the Kensington is vacant adj.空的，空闲的 right now and not generating any revenue for the town. I also admit that the hotel has gotten a bit dilapidated adj.毁坏的，荒废的 and unsightly adj.难看的. But the issue is bigger than that. If we destroy the hotel, we will be destroying an important piece of this town's history. The town charter n.宪章 was signed there over签字移交 200 years ago and many well-known and important people have stayed there over the years, including the United States president. It wouldn't be all that difficult to fix up the hotel either. In fact if we get some people from around town to volunteer some of their skills and time, we wouldn't have to use any of the town's money or ask the state for money. Once the hotel is refurbished v.再刷新，磨光, it could start to attract people to our town again. One last reason to keep the Kensington, we've already got one shopping mall, and that's plenty. Well, I hope you will take what I have said into consideration. Thanks for listening. 小马过河$ X$ s2 G2 W  K9 r5 k& {' P

: N- ]4 @3 j9 M: lIn the late 1400s, when Christopher Columbus returned to Spain from the western hemisphere, he brought with him a sample of what the native Americans called maze, or, as we call it more often today, corn. The corn that Columbus introduced to Europe was the distant descendant of a grass native to Mexico. The peoples of the Americas probably started to domesticate this grass as early as 5000 BC.
! `# G0 g/ ]# |. K0 i小马过河After about a thousand years, they had developed a highly productive strands of corn which later became the basis for the great pre-Columbian civilizations. Figuratively speaking, both the cities of the Incas and the temples of the Mayas were built on corn. Domesticated corn and the people who cultivated it developed together. Without humans to care for it, domesticated corn could not survive. The kernels are crowded together beneath the strong protected husk and silk. And the young corn shoot is not strong enough to break through the husk on its own. If people did not strip away the husk and plant individual kernels, the corn would die out.

In 1871 the first passenger elevators were used in office buildings and allowed architects to build higher than people could comfortably walk. Another innovation was in building technique. In 1885 the steel skeletonwas introduced and allowed for the construction of tall buildings that could withstand high winds. We take for granted some of the other inventions that enabled people to live and work in skyscrapers . For example, few people realized that the telephone was necessary for vertical communication and that flush toilet and vacuum incinerator made waste disposal possible. Now as we entered the age of super skyscraper, some with more than 200 floors, we see the need for even more technological innovations. In the area of heating and cooling systems for example. For all their benefits, these super tall buildings do cause problems though. For one thing they place enormous strain on parking and traffic row in urban areas. But let's leave behind these technical concerns and move on to consider some of the design elements that have come to characterize the age of the skyscraper.

* G( D# C( ~7 K小马过河-新托福专业备考社区If you flew over certain parts of Nebraska and Texas by plane, you might notice some large areas appearing as bright green circles many hundreds of feet across. This green is unusual in the high plains area where the climate is very dry.  These green patches are the result of a new technique for mining the underground water. In this technique , miners bore deep holes in the ground until they reached special geological formation called an ocheropher.  The water which has collected in this ocherophers for hundreds of years is called fossil water or ground water. It is pumped up through the bored hole and spray over the land to irrigate the crops. Raising crops such as cotton and wheat watered in this way creates the fertile green areas that contrasts vividly with the natural brown of the plains. Crop yields have increased dramatically . However they've created a serious environmental problem. The problem is that the water is being removed from many ocherophers faster than it can be replenished naturally. Ground water levels have dropped rapidly and it's becoming more difficult and expensive to get this water. In some parts of Texas , water levels in some of the ocherophers have declined by more than four hundred feet in twenty-five years. This process of using water faster than it can be replaced is wide-spread and serious.

At the beginning of the century the railroads were used to haul everything. Powerful railroad barons made fortunes without having to be accountable to the public or considerable to the customers. But cars and trucks changed all of that. And by 1970, the rail industry was beset with problems. Trucks were taking all the new business. And even so the rail industry remained indifferent to customers. Also many regulations kept the rail industry from adjusting to shifting market.  But in 1980, the rail industry entered the modern era when a deregulation bill was passed that allowed railroad companies to make quick adjustments to fees and practices. Companies reduced their lines by 1/3 and used fewer employees. They also took steps to minimize damage to product. And to increase their shipping capacity by stacking freight containers on railroad cars. To accommodate these taller loads, underpasses and tunnels were enlarged. The image of the rail industry has changed dramatically. Today companies are very responsive to customers and are gaining increasing market shares in the shipping industry. The railroad safety record is also strong. Freight trains have an accident rate that is only 1/3 that of the trucking industry.  Trains also come out ahead of the trucks on environmental grounds because they give off only 1/10 to 1/3 the pollution that is emitted by trucks. And railroading does not wear out highways as trucks do.

This coffee can contains soil from my garden. And I prepared slide samples to show you that it is alive. This ordinary backyard dirt is crawling with microbes.  Microbes is not a very specific term. There are hundreds of thousands of different species called microbes. What they have in common is that we can't see them with a naked eye. They are microscopic. Look at this slide. You should see some round cells. Those are yeasts . Yeasts are fermenters. And they are necessary for making bread, beer, yogurt and so forth. Now look for an irregular shape with hairs coming out of it. That's a mold.  Molds are decomposers, and they are responsible for the decomposition mycoplastlees. You should also see some protozoa. Some protozoa, like the one causes malaria are harmful to people.  A microbic that causes disease is called a pathogen. Finally you should see a lot of squiggly lines. They are bacteria. The oldest form of life on earth. Like these other microbes, bacteria are single-cells. But they are even simpler structurally because their cells do not have nuclear.  So I've got about a teaspoon of soil in my hand here. In that teaspoon are about ten thousand protozoa, 200 thousand mold cells, a million yeasts, and probably a billion bacteria.TOEFL,IBT,托福,新托福,机经,小马过河,留学,美国,海外6 t0 l! ]9 F  f3 M2 N1 n
