Pertemuan 7
Garis San Andreas Fault adalah fraktur pada kesesuaian dari dua lempeng utama kerak bumi, salah satunya mendukung sebagian besar benua Amerika Utara, dan lainnya yang mendasari pantai California dan bagian dari dasar laut di Pasifik laut. Kesalahan berasal sekitar enam ratus km sebelah selatan dari Teluk California, berjalan utara di garis tidak teratur di sepanjang pantai barat ke San Francisco, dan terus utara selama sekitar dua ratus lebih mil sebelum memancing off ke laut. Di tempat-tempat, jejak kesalahan ditandai oleh parit, atau, dalam istilah geologi, keretakan, dan kolam kecil dot lanskap. Sisi barat yang selalu bergerak ke utara dalam kaitannya dengan sisi timur. Slip bersih total sepanjang Patahan San Andreas dan lamanya waktu yang telah aktif adalah masalah dugaan, tetapi telah diperkirakan bahwa, selama lima belas juta tahun terakhir, pesisir California sepanjang Patahan San Andreas telah pindah sekitar 190 mil di arah barat laut sehubungan dengan lempeng Amerika Utara. Meskipun pergerakan sepanjang rata-rata kesalahan hanya beberapa inci per tahun, itu adalah intermiten dan variabel. Beberapa segmen dari kesalahan tidak memiliki bergerak sama sekali untuk jangka waktu yang lama, membangun tekanan yang besar yang harus dikeluarkan
Untuk alasan ini, tremor tidak biasa di sepanjang Patahan San Andreas, beberapa di antaranya diklasifikasikan sebagai gempa bumi besar. Juga untuk alasan ini, tremor kecil diinterpretasikan sebagai aman, karena mereka dipahami sebagai tekanan yang melepaskan tanpa menyebabkan banyak kerusakan.
Ini adalah tidak pantas bahwa Patahan San Andreas melewati nyaman dekat dengan beberapa wilayah metropolitan utama, termasuk Los Angeles dan San Francisco. Selain itu, Patahan San Andreas telah menciptakan sistem kesalahan kecil, banyak yang mendasari kota-kota kecil dan kota-kota di sepanjang pantai California. Untuk alasan ini, California telah lama mengantisipasi terulangnya apa yang mereka sebut sebagai "Big One," reaksi berantai destruktif gempa bumi yang akan mengukur dekat 8 pada skala Richter, mirip dalam intensitas dengan yang terjadi pada tahun 1857 dan 1906. Seperti gempa akan menimbulkan efek yang sangat buruk pada kehidupan dan properti di wilayah tersebut. Sayangnya, sebagai tekanan terus membangun sepanjang sesar, kemungkinan seperti gempa bumi meningkat secara substansial.

Part C (DTLC)
Questions 38 through 42. Listen to talk given by the leader of a hiking club.
* Before we ask how many of you will be going on the Wilderness Survival
Hike, I’d like to review the guidelines for winter safety.
* If you ever get lost in the woods, the first thing you should do is sit down
and collect your wits.
* Make a camp and prepare a signal and wait for rescue to come to you.
* Once you are situated, there are other things you can do to cope while
stranded in the wilderness.
* First of all, try to locate a source of water.
* You can go a month if necessary without food, but only about seven days
without a drink.
* Anytime your lips feel dry, you need water.
* However, never eat snow to quench your thirst.
It will counter dehydration, but in melting the snow your body loses
precious heat and the deadly affects of hypothermia are accelerated.
You can fight hypothermia in other ways, too.
* Even if the temperature is in the fifties, uncontrolled lost of body head
can be fatal.
* Cover you head and thus reduce your heat loss by half.
* Dress as warmly and with as many layers as possible.
* Get out of the wind and stay dry.
* Keep active, but avoid perspiring-water conducts heat away from your
body 240 times faster than air does.
* We’ve covered water and warm; now let’s consider food in the
wilderness.
* Don’t eat potentially dangerous plants.
* These include all types of mushrooms and other fungi, beans, and bulbs.
* Also, any wild berries that are either red or white should be avoided.
* As a precaution, be sure you have packed plenty of packets of
dehydrated food to hide you over in an emergency.
* OK. We don’t anticipate anyone getting lost, as you are all going out with
experienced guides.
* Let’s see a show of hands of those of you who plan to join us on the hike.
38. According to the speaker, what is the first thing to do if you get lost?
Find water
Get settled in one place.
Look for food
Start walking in a likely direction
39. What’s the greatest danger of eating snow to satisfy your thirst?
You will lower your body temperature too much.
You will become ill
It is hard to take in enough snow
Snow doesn't really quench your thirst
40. According to the speaker, what is the best way to reduce body heat loss
by half?
Keep extremely active
Wear a hat.
Dress warmly
Stay dry
41. Why does the speaker feel that the hikers shouldn’t worry too much
about the upcoming hike?
They have just heard the talk
They have done this many times before
They will be well equipped
They will be accompanied by guides.
42. How will the speaker know who wants to join the hike?
People will tell him after the talk
People will raise their hands.
People will send in a registration
People have notified him prior to the talk
Questions 43 through 46. Listen to a lecture given in a main biology class.
* Imagine a frigid world filled with creatures that shine with an eerie green
or blue or red light in a landscape of eternal darkness.
* It may sounds like a scene from science fiction, but this place actually
exists in every ocean on earth.
* It’s called the “midwater”, and it is by far the largest and most mysterious
wilderness on the planet.
* Scientist tell us that we know little about this enormous environment for
one simple reason.
* It’s hard to get to it.
* During the past few years, scientists have begun to use small
submarines with spotlights and cameras to explore the midwater.
* Using these devices, the have found many plants and animals that have
never been seen before.
* The most abundant animals in the midwater are the jellies.
* There are jellyfish and their relatives.
* The most interesting jellies are tiny animals that join and from huge
chains, sometimes reaching more than a hundred feet in length.
* Some other kinds of fish also call the midwater home, including such
fierce hunters as the dragonfish and the devilfish, which come equipped
with razor sharp teeth and huge stomachs.
* Perhaps the most remarkable discovery about the animals of the
midwater is that nearly all of them produce their own light, as a firefly
does.
* Scientists think that some animals glow, or bioluminescence, to attract a
mate, others to find prey, and still others to scare away predators.
* Yet many creatures produce light only at certain times and for no clear
reason.
* The explanation for this behavior remains one of the many puzzles of the
mid water that future scientists must solve.
43. Where can the midwater be found?
In science fiction
In every ocean on earth.
Under the ocean floor
In the wilderness
44. According to the speaker, why are the small jellies interesting?
They are the most abundant animals in the midwater
They have razor sharp teeth
They have no skeleton
They can link together to form very long chains.
45. According to the speaker, why do we know so little about the midwater?
Because people are afraid to go there
Because it is so vast
Because it is not easy to get there.
Because no one knows exactly where it is
46. According to the speaker, what is one characteristic of midwater
animals that is not yet completely explained?
Their ability to glow.
Their huge stomachs
Their mating behavior
Their ability to find prey
Questions 47 through 50. Listen to a science professor talk about gold.
* For at least six thousand years, people have been fascinated by gold.
* They have used it in pottery, jewelry, religious objects, clothing, and even
medicine.
* In ancient times it was also molded into magnificent death marks for
kings and other royalty.
* Gold has been valued through the centuries because of it’s beauty and
indestructibility.
* It does not tarnish or discolor, and it resists corrosion.
* Gold is also quite soft and easy to work with.
* It can be hammered into very thin sheets-so thin that light shines through
them.
* These sheets are used for decorative lettering and other artistic
purposes.
* Many churches and government buildings have domes covered with thin
layers of gold.
* This not only makes the domes highly resistant to weathering, it also
gives the buildings an aura of beauty and richness.
* Dentists also appreciate the softness of gold.
* They use it to make fillings for teeth.
* Today, gold is widely used in the electronics industry, partly because it
conducts electricity so well.
* It is indispensable in pocket calculators, computers, telephones,
televisions, missiles, and spacecraft.
* Glass coated with a thin layer of gold is also used in skyscrapers to
reflect summer sun and to retain winter heat.
* The use of gold in one building in Canada lowered air-conditioning cost
by forty percent.
* The discovery of gold in California in 1849 encouraged the westward
expansion of the United States.
* Large gold discoveries have also resulted in new settlements and
increased exploration.
* Gold has even brought development to the Arctic Circle where the most
northerly gold mine in the world exists.
* This mine yields $100 million in gold annually.
* Gold exploration continues all over the world.
Who knows where the next rich source of gold may be found!
47. According to the speaker, why has gold been continuously popular for
6,000 years?
It is more valuable than other metals
It is very beautiful and not easily destroyed.
It attracts people to new areas and encourages exploration
It is useful in televisions, missiles, and spacecraft
48. Why does the softness of gold make it so useful?
It can be formed into many shapes.
It can be used to conduct electricity
It can be easily mined
It doesn't tarnish or corrode
49. According to the speaker, what purpose does gold serve in the
conclusion of skyscrapers?
It makes them shine in the dark so that airplanes can avoid hitting them
It makes the skyline of a city glitter, which is very attractive
It helps buildings stay cool in summer and warm in winter.
It helps keep the metal parts of the buildings from corroding
50. According to the speaker, what often happens to an area after the gold
is discovered?
People experiment with new uses of gold
More pottery, jewelry, medicine, and religious objects are produced
Many people move to the area to look for gold, and new development occurs.
Gold becomes readily available, and it is no longer considered valuable

Part C (DTLC)
Questions 38 through 42. Listen to talk given by the leader of a hiking club.
* Before we ask how many of you will be going on the Wilderness Survival
Hike, I’d like to review the guidelines for winter safety.
* If you ever get lost in the woods, the first thing you should do is sit down
and collect your wits.
* Make a camp and prepare a signal and wait for rescue to come to you.
* Once you are situated, there are other things you can do to cope while
stranded in the wilderness.
* First of all, try to locate a source of water.
* You can go a month if necessary without food, but only about seven days
without a drink.
* Anytime your lips feel dry, you need water.
* However, never eat snow to quench your thirst.
It will counter dehydration, but in melting the snow your body loses
precious heat and the deadly affects of hypothermia are accelerated.
You can fight hypothermia in other ways, too.
* Even if the temperature is in the fifties, uncontrolled lost of body head
can be fatal.
* Cover you head and thus reduce your heat loss by half.
* Dress as warmly and with as many layers as possible.
* Get out of the wind and stay dry.
* Keep active, but avoid perspiring-water conducts heat away from your
body 240 times faster than air does.
* We’ve covered water and warm; now let’s consider food in the
wilderness.
* Don’t eat potentially dangerous plants.
* These include all types of mushrooms and other fungi, beans, and bulbs.
* Also, any wild berries that are either red or white should be avoided.
* As a precaution, be sure you have packed plenty of packets of
dehydrated food to hide you over in an emergency.
* OK. We don’t anticipate anyone getting lost, as you are all going out with
experienced guides.
* Let’s see a show of hands of those of you who plan to join us on the hike.
38. According to the speaker, what is the first thing to do if you get lost?
Find water
Get settled in one place.
Look for food
Start walking in a likely direction
39. What’s the greatest danger of eating snow to satisfy your thirst?
You will lower your body temperature too much.
You will become ill
It is hard to take in enough snow
Snow doesn't really quench your thirst
40. According to the speaker, what is the best way to reduce body heat loss
by half?
Keep extremely active
Wear a hat.
Dress warmly
Stay dry
41. Why does the speaker feel that the hikers shouldn’t worry too much
about the upcoming hike?
They have just heard the talk
They have done this many times before
They will be well equipped
They will be accompanied by guides.
42. How will the speaker know who wants to join the hike?
People will tell him after the talk
People will raise their hands.
People will send in a registration
People have notified him prior to the talk
Questions 43 through 46. Listen to a lecture given in a main biology class.
* Imagine a frigid world filled with creatures that shine with an eerie green
or blue or red light in a landscape of eternal darkness.
* It may sounds like a scene from science fiction, but this place actually
exists in every ocean on earth.
* It’s called the “midwater”, and it is by far the largest and most mysterious
wilderness on the planet.
* Scientist tell us that we know little about this enormous environment for
one simple reason.
* It’s hard to get to it.
* During the past few years, scientists have begun to use small
submarines with spotlights and cameras to explore the midwater.
* Using these devices, the have found many plants and animals that have
never been seen before.
* The most abundant animals in the midwater are the jellies.
* There are jellyfish and their relatives.
* The most interesting jellies are tiny animals that join and from huge
chains, sometimes reaching more than a hundred feet in length.
* Some other kinds of fish also call the midwater home, including such
fierce hunters as the dragonfish and the devilfish, which come equipped
with razor sharp teeth and huge stomachs.
* Perhaps the most remarkable discovery about the animals of the
midwater is that nearly all of them produce their own light, as a firefly
does.
* Scientists think that some animals glow, or bioluminescence, to attract a
mate, others to find prey, and still others to scare away predators.
* Yet many creatures produce light only at certain times and for no clear
reason.
* The explanation for this behavior remains one of the many puzzles of the
mid water that future scientists must solve.
43. Where can the midwater be found?
In science fiction
In every ocean on earth.
Under the ocean floor
In the wilderness
44. According to the speaker, why are the small jellies interesting?
They are the most abundant animals in the midwater
They have razor sharp teeth
They have no skeleton
They can link together to form very long chains.
45. According to the speaker, why do we know so little about the midwater?
Because people are afraid to go there
Because it is so vast
Because it is not easy to get there.
Because no one knows exactly where it is
46. According to the speaker, what is one characteristic of midwater
animals that is not yet completely explained?
Their ability to glow.
Their huge stomachs
Their mating behavior
Their ability to find prey
Questions 47 through 50. Listen to a science professor talk about gold.
* For at least six thousand years, people have been fascinated by gold.
* They have used it in pottery, jewelry, religious objects, clothing, and even
medicine.
* In ancient times it was also molded into magnificent death marks for
kings and other royalty.
* Gold has been valued through the centuries because of it’s beauty and
indestructibility.
* It does not tarnish or discolor, and it resists corrosion.
* Gold is also quite soft and easy to work with.
* It can be hammered into very thin sheets-so thin that light shines through
them.
* These sheets are used for decorative lettering and other artistic
purposes.
* Many churches and government buildings have domes covered with thin
layers of gold.
* This not only makes the domes highly resistant to weathering, it also
gives the buildings an aura of beauty and richness.
* Dentists also appreciate the softness of gold.
* They use it to make fillings for teeth.
* Today, gold is widely used in the electronics industry, partly because it
conducts electricity so well.
* It is indispensable in pocket calculators, computers, telephones,
televisions, missiles, and spacecraft.
* Glass coated with a thin layer of gold is also used in skyscrapers to
reflect summer sun and to retain winter heat.
* The use of gold in one building in Canada lowered air-conditioning cost
by forty percent.
* The discovery of gold in California in 1849 encouraged the westward
expansion of the United States.
* Large gold discoveries have also resulted in new settlements and
increased exploration.
* Gold has even brought development to the Arctic Circle where the most
northerly gold mine in the world exists.
* This mine yields $100 million in gold annually.
* Gold exploration continues all over the world.
Who knows where the next rich source of gold may be found!
47. According to the speaker, why has gold been continuously popular for
6,000 years?
It is more valuable than other metals
It is very beautiful and not easily destroyed.
It attracts people to new areas and encourages exploration
It is useful in televisions, missiles, and spacecraft
48. Why does the softness of gold make it so useful?
It can be formed into many shapes.
It can be used to conduct electricity
It can be easily mined
It doesn't tarnish or corrode
49. According to the speaker, what purpose does gold serve in the
conclusion of skyscrapers?
It makes them shine in the dark so that airplanes can avoid hitting them
It makes the skyline of a city glitter, which is very attractive
It helps buildings stay cool in summer and warm in winter.
It helps keep the metal parts of the buildings from corroding
50. According to the speaker, what often happens to an area after the gold
is discovered?
People experiment with new uses of gold
More pottery, jewelry, medicine, and religious objects are produced
Many people move to the area to look for gold, and new development occurs.
Gold becomes readily available, and it is no longer considered valuable
