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 part of 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 planned 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.
It can be inferred from the passage that________.
选项
A、new radio devices should be developed for tracking the endangered blue whales
B、blue whales are no longer endangered with the use of the new listening system
C、opinions differ as to whether civilian scientists should be allowed to use military technology
D、military technology has great potential in civilian use
答案
D
解析
文章先讲述了水下追踪蓝鲸所面临的困难,然后提到民间科学家用美国海军的水下监听绝密设备追踪蓝鲸、监测深海火山的爆发等。由此可推知,军事技术在民用化方面有很大的潜力。故选D。
