It is hard to track the blue whale, the ocean’s largest creature, which has almost been killed off by commercial whaling and is now listed as an endangered species. Attaching radio devices to it is difficult, and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.
So biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the Navy, they were able to track a particular blue whale for 43 days, monitoring its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy’s formerly top-secret system of underwater listening devices spanning the oceans.
Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built over the decades to track the ships of potential enemies.
Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely monitoring a deep-sea volcanic eruption (爆发) for the first time and that they plan similar studies.
Other scientists have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in ocean and global temperatures.
The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second—slower than through land but faster than through air. What is most important, different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds, focusing them in the same way a stethoscope (听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient’s chest to a doctor’s ear. This focusing is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially low-frequency ones, can often travel thousands of miles. (283 words)
The deep-sea listening system makes use of______.
选项
A、the sophisticated technology of focusing sounds under water
B、the capability of sound to travel at high speed
C、the unique property of layers of ocean water in transmitting sound
D、low-frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water
答案
C
解析
本题属于细节题。尾段主要讲深海监听系统的工作原理:先说声的速度,“the speed of sound”,“What is most important”引出更为重要的原理:海水的不同层面形成声音的通道,就像听诊器把病人胸腔模糊的声音传到医生的耳中的原理一样,把声音聚在一起并据此给声音定位,“different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds,focusing them…”。所以选项C可以对等替换此部分,为本题答案。
