新概念英语三NCE3-L36Lesson36 A chance in a millionWe are less credulous than we used to be In the nineteenth century, a novelist would bring his story to a conclusion by presenting his readers with a series of coincidences --most of them wildly improbable. Readers happily accepted the factthat an obscure maid-servant was really the hero's mother. A long-lost brother, who was presumed dead, was really alive all the time and wickedly plotting to bring about the hero's down- fall. And so on. Modern readers would find such naive solutions totally unacceptable. Yet, in real life, circumstances do sometimes conspire to bring about coincidences which anyone but a nineteenth century novelist would find incredible.A German taxi-driver, Franz Bussman, recently found a brother who was thought to have been killed twenty years before. While on a walking tour with his wife, he stopped to talk to a workman. After they had gone on, Mrs Bussman commented on the workman's close resemblance to her husband and even suggested that he might be his brother. Franz poured scorn on the idea, pointingout that his brother had been killed in action during the war. Though Mrs Bussman was fully acquainted with this story, she thought that there was a chance in a million that she might be right. A few days later, she sent a boy to the workman to ask him if his name was Hans Bussman, Needless to say, the man's name was Hans Bussman and he really was Franz's long-lost brother.When the brothers were re-united, Hans explained how it was that he was still alive. After having been wounded towards the end of the war, he had been sent to hospital and was separated from his unit. The hospital had been bombed and Hans had made his way back into Western Germany on foot. Meanwhile, his unit was lost andall records of him had been destroyed. Hans returned to hisfamily home, but the house had been bombed and no one in the neighbourhood knew what had become of the inhabitants. Assuming that his family had been killed during an air-raid, Hans settled down in a Village fifty miles away where he had remained ever since.credulous ['kredjul?s] a.轻信的improbable [im'pr?b?bl] a.不大可能的obscure [?b'skju?] a.不起眼的；v.遮掩，模糊maidservant ['meids?:v?nt] n.女仆，女佣presume [pri'zju:m] v.假定wickedly ad.心眼坏地，居心叵测地plot [pl?t] v.密谋downfall ['daunf?:l] n.倒台，垮台na?ve [na:'i:v] a.天真的unacceptable ['?n?k'sept?bl] a.不能接受的conspire [k?n'spai?] v.(事件)巧合促成incredible [in'kred?bl] a.难以置信的resemblance [ri'zembl?ns] n.相似scorn [sk?:n] n.嘲弄，挖苦acquaint [?'kweint] v.使了解reunite ['ri:ju:'nait] v.使团聚assume [?'sju:m] v.假定，认为我们不再像以往那样轻易相信别人了。

1 逃遁的美洲狮美洲狮是一种体形似猫的大动物，产于美洲。

当伦敦动物园接到报告说，在伦敦以南45英里处发现一只美洲狮时，这些报告并没有受到重视。

可是，随着证据越来越多，动物园的专家们感到有必要进行一番调查，因为凡是声称见到过美洲狮的人们所描述的情况竟是出奇地相似。

搜寻美洲狮的工作是从一座小村庄开始的。

那里的一位妇女在采摘黑莓时的看见“一只大猫”，离她仅5码远，她刚看见它，它就立刻逃走了。

专家证实，美洲狮非被逼得走投无路，是决不会伤人的。

事实上搜寻工作很困难，因为常常是早晨在甲地发现那只美洲狮，晚上却在20英里外的乙地发现它的踪迹。

无论它走哪儿，一路上总会留下一串死鹿及死兔子之类的小动物，在许多地方看见爪印，灌木丛中发现了粘在上面的美洲狮毛。

有人抱怨说夜里听见“像猫一样的叫声”；一位商人去钓鱼，看见那只美洲狮在树上。

专家们如今已经完全肯定那只动物就是美洲狮，但它是从哪儿来的呢？由于全国动物园没有一家报告丢了美洲狮，因此那只美洲狮一定是某位私人收藏豢养的，不知怎么设法逃出来了。

搜寻工作进行了好几个星期，但始终未能逮住那只美洲狮。

想到在宁静的乡村里有一头危险的野兽继续逍遥流窜，真令人担心。

2 十三等于一我们教区的牧师总是为各种各样的事筹集资金。

但始终未能筹足资金把教堂的钟修好。

教堂的钟很大，以前不分昼夜打点报时，但很多年前遭到毁坏，从此便无声无息了。

一天夜里，我们的牧师突然被惊醒了，大钟又在“打点”报时了！他一看表，才1点钟，可是那钟一边敲了13下才停。

牧师拿着一支电筒走上钟楼想去看看究竟发生了什么事情。

借着电筒光。

他看见一个人，马上认出那是本地杂货店主经比尔.威尔金斯。

“你究竟在这上面干什么，比尔？”牧师惊讶地问。

“我想把这口钟修好，”比尔回答说。

“好几个星期了，我天天夜里到钟楼上来。

嗯，我是想让你大吃一惊。

”“你确实使我大吃了一惊！”牧师说，“也许同时你把村里所有的人都吵醒了。

不过，钟又能报时了，我还是很高兴的。

Lesson47 Through the earth’s crustSatellites orbiting round the earth have provided scientists with a vast amount of information about conditions in outer space. By comparison, relatively little is known about the internal structure of the earth. It has proved easier to go up than to go down. The deepest hole ever to bebored on land went down 25,340 feet-- considerably less than the height of Mount Everest. Drilling a hole under the sea has proved to be even more difficult. The deepest hole bored under sea has been about 20,000 feet. Until recently, scientists have been unable to devise a drill which would be capable of cutting through hard rock at great depths. This problem has now been solved. Scientists have developed a method which sounds surprisingly simple. A new drill which is being tested at Leona Valley Ranch in Texas is driven by a turbine engine which is propelled by liquid mud pumped into it from the surface. As the diamond tip of the drill revolves, it is lubricated by mud. Scientists have been amazed to find that it can cut through the hardest rock with great ease. The drill has been designed to bore through the earth to a depth of 35,000 feet. It will enable scientists to obtain samples of the mysterious layer which lies immediately below the earth's crust. This layer is known as the Mohorovicic Discontinuity, but is commonly referred to as 'the Moho'.Before it is possible to drill this deep hole, scientists will have to overcome a number of problems. Geological tests will be carried out to find the point at which the earth's crust is thinnest. The three possible sites which are being considered are all at sea: two in the Atlantic Ocean and one in the Pacific. Once they have determinded on a site, they will have to erect a drilling vessel which will not be swept away by ocean currents. The vessel will consist of an immense platform which will rise to 70 feet above the water. It will be supported by six hollow columns which will descend to a depth of 60 feet below the ocean surface where they will be fixed to a huge float. A tall steel tower rising to a height of nearly 200 feet will rest on the platform. The drill will be stored in the towerand will have to be lowered through about 15,000 feet of water before operations can begin. Within the tower, there will be a laboratory, living accommodation and a helicopter landing station. Keeping the platform in position at sea will give rise to further problems. To do this, scientists will have to devise methods using radar and underwater television. If, during the operations the drill has to be withdrawn, it must be possible to re-insert it. Great care will therefore have to be taken to keep the platform steady and make it strong enough to withstand hurricanes. If the project is successful, scientists will not only learn a great deal about the earth, but possibly about the nature of the universe itself.pollution [pә'lu:ʃәn] n.污染overpopulated a.人口多的over-industrialized a.过度工业化的sheer [ʃiә] a.纯粹的，不掺杂的worldwide ['wә:ldwaid] ad.在全世界overwhelm ['әuvә'hwelm] v.制服，使不知所措pollute [pә'lju:t] v.污染pesticide ['pestisaid] n.杀虫剂fertilizer ['fә:tilaizә] n.肥料salmonella [sælmә'nelә] n.沙门氏菌listeria n.利斯特杆菌vegetarian [vedʒә'tєәriәn] n.吃素的人organically-grown a.有机培植的(不施化肥和其他化学药品培植)insidious [in'sidiәs] a.暗中为害的urban ['ә:bәn] a.城市的burglar ['bә:glә] n.窃贼burgle ['bә:gl] v.入室偷窃scream [skri:m] v.尖叫profound [prә'faund] a.极度的irritation ['iri'teiʃәn] n.烦躁incessantly ad.连续不断地whine [wain] v.发呜呜声helicopter ['helikɔptә] n.直升飞机maximum ['mæksimәm] a.最大的technology [tek'nɔlәdʒi] n.技术contribution ['kɔntri'bju:ʃәn] n.贡献mobile ['mәubail] a.可移动的snore [snɔ:] v.打鼾offender [ә'fendә] n.冒犯者staggering ['stægәriŋ] a.令人惊愕的trumpet ['trʌmpit] v.吹号partner ['pa:tnә] n.伙伴污染就是我们为这个人口过密，过度工业化的星球所付出的代价。
