16、,How are you?Im glad to tell you that there will be a lecture so I am writing to invite you to my school to attend it.Let me introduce it to you.The lecture is given by a famous professor named Mr Zhang next weekend in our school hall.The content of the lecture is about “black hole”,which is a hot t
17、opic among people recently.So Professor Zhang is going to tell us what caused the black hole and what effect it will result in on the whole world.In order to attend the lecture you are supposed to make full preparations for it.For example youd better have a wide range of knowledge such as geography,
18、physics and astronomy.Im looking forward to your early reply.Welcome to my school.Ill meet you at the school gate.Yours,Li hua.概要写作阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。We already know that the underwater world is anything but silent.It is full of natural sounds produced by animals and by the motion of the atmo
19、sphere and water.But todays researchers are increasingly concerned about the man-made noises under the water.They are confusing-and even killing-fish,whales and other marine animals.Although hearing is important to all animals,the special qualities of the undersea world emphasize the use of sound.Un
20、derwater sound allows marine animals to gather information and communicate at great distances and from all directions.Loud underwater noises can cause damage to their hearing.And nowadays its becoming too much for marine wildlife.Evidence shows that whales will swim hundreds of miles,rapidly change
21、their depth,and even beach themselves to get away from the sounds of sonar.You might think lower noises,typically caused by shipping or construction,do not pose a threat to marine animals.In fact,while they may not kill the animals directly,they can disturb their ability to locate food,find mates an
22、d avoid predators (掠食动物).Scientists looked at the effects of noise from small motorboats on coral-reef fish at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.In the lab,the fish had been trained to recognise the smell of three common predators as a threat.Some fish were trained in the presence of boat noise,wh
23、ile the others had training with the natural sounds of the ocean.It turned out that the first group showed no fright reactions when exposed to the predator.However,the other group was scared.And under the influence of underwater noise on this group,only 20 percent of fish survived,compared to almost
24、 70 percent of unexposed fish.Humans rely on the ocean for its natural resources and biodiversity.The ocean also plays an important role in regulating(调节)temperatures,As Cousteau said,“For most of history,man has had to fight nature to survive;in this century he is beginning to realise that,in order
25、 to survive,he must protect it.”参考范文Although underwater world is not silent,man-made sound is doing great harm to marine animal.(要点1) Important as underwater sound is to animals there,loud noises in the sea threatens their normal life.(要点2) According to scientists research,the survival rate of fish drops sharply under the influence of noise,whether loud or not.(要点3) Thus,with the benefits of ocean to the environment and temperature,people must protect it rather than fight it.(要点4) (71词)
