Without @ Vehicle, dvers often became sluggish, and ter mental concentration wes severely limited. Because undersea pressure affects their speech organs, communication among divers has ebvays been dificult or impossible, But today, most oceanographere avoid te use of vulnerable human diver, preforing to reduce the risk to human ife and make direct observations by means of Instruments that are lowered ino the ocean, ftom samples take from the waler, oF from photographs made by ocbng satlites. Dect observations of the ocean floor can be made not only by divers but also by deep-diving submarines in the water and even by the technology of sophisticated serial photography from vantage points above the surface of more than seven miles and cruise at depths of fifteen thousand feet. In addition, radio- equipped buoys can be operated by remote control in order to transmit information beck to land-based laboratories via satellite, Particularly Important for ocean study are data about water temperature, currents, and weather. Satellite photographs an show the distibution of sea ice, of slicks, and cloud formations over the ocean, Maps created from satlitepletures can fepresent the temperature and the color of the ocean's surface, enabling researchers to stucy the ocean currents from Taborateries on dry land. Furthermore, computers help ocearographers to collect organize, and analyze data from submarines ang satelites, By creating @ model of the oceans movement and characteristic, ‘scientists can predict te pattems and possible effects of te oceen on the environment. Recent, many eceanographers have been reying more on satelites and computers than on research ships or even submarine vehicles because they can supply a greater range of information move quickly and more eflecively.

PART FOUR Reading Compranaraion (409) PASSAGE A Because the low latitudes ofthe Earth, the areas near the equator, receive more heat than the lattudes near the poles, and because the nature of heat slo expand and move, Heat i raneported from the tropics tothe middle and high lathudes. Some of thi heats moved by winde and eome by ocean curents, and some gots stored inthe atmosphere lh the form of latent heat. The term ‘tatent heat’ refers to the energy thal has to be used to convert liquid water to water vapor. ‘We know thal I we warm a pan of waler on a stove, & will evaporate, or turn info vapor, faster than if it is allowed to sit at room lemperatre: We eiso know tht if we hang wet cathes outside in the summertime they wAl dy faster than In winter, ‘when temperatures are colder, The energy used in both cases fo change quid water to water vapor I supped by heat ~ ‘Supplied by the stove the ft case and bythe Gun inthe itor cage This energy 1s not lot Ie etored tr wala Vapor the atmosphere as latent heat. Eventually, the water slored as vapor In the stmosphere will condense to liquid again, and the energy wil be released tothe atmosphere. inthe atmosphere, a large portion of the Sun's incoing energy is used to evaporate water, primary inthe tropical ‘oceans. Scientists have tried to quantify this proportion of the Sun's energy. By analyzing temperature, water vapor, and wind data around the globe, they have esate the quaniy to be about 20 wats per equare meter, or neary 30 percent of ‘the Sun's energy. Once this latent heat Is stored within the atmosphere, It can be transported, primarily to higher latitudes, By prevailing, frge-scale winds. Or K canbe transported vertcay to higher levels nthe atmosphere, where I forms couds and subsequent storms, wich then release the energy back othe atmosphere 4, The passage mainly discusses how heat (A)is transformed and transported inthe Ears atmosphere (is transported by ocean currents {C) can be measured and analyzed by scientists ‘Oymoves about the Earth's equator 2.Tho passage fhentions thatthe tropics dif from the Earth's polar regions in which ofthe folowing ways?

By 268 K was found In Chinese Turkmenistan, and fom then on the successive places of Tranulacure were Samarkand (751), Baghdad (793), Egypt (about 900).

Frequently, traders carry @ cultural trait from the seclty that originated it to another group. AS an example of difusion through intermadiarias, Phoenician traders spread the alphabet, which may have been Invented by another Semitic group, to Greece. At times, soldiers serve as intermediaries in spreading a culture trait. During the Middle Ages, European soldiers acted as intermediaries in two Ways" they carried European culture to Arab societies of North Aftica and brought Arab culture back to Europe. In the nineteenth century Western missionaries brought Western-style clothing to such places as Arica and the Pacific Islands. In stimulus difusion, knowledge of a trait belonging to another culture stimulates the invention ar development of a local equivalent. A classic example of stimulus diftusion is the creation of the Cherokee syllable writing system by a Native. ‘American named Sequoya. Sequoya got the Idea from his contact with the English; yet ne did not adopt the writing system hor did he even featn to write English. He uslized some English alphabetic symbols, alered others, and invented new ones. Alte symbols he used represented Cherokee syllables and had a distinctly Cherokee form. 11.
