问题 综合

(11分)阅读材料,回答下列问题。

材料一:2010年12月21日,罕见的暴雪袭击了英国,超过50万名游客滞留在英国境内。英国主要交通干道和海底铁路隧道运输陷入停顿状态。前英国交通大臣安德鲁•阿多尼斯将英国描述为一个“第三世界国家”,说:“英国似乎对冬季降雪和结冰完全准备不足”。

材料二:欧洲西部降水及1月0℃等温线分布图

材料三:  中东地区图

(1) 为什么前英国交通大臣安德鲁•阿多尼斯说:“英国似乎对冬季降雪和结冰完全准备不足”?试从影响当地气候的因素角度加以解释。(2分)

(2) 依据材料二,请描述0℃等温线分布特点,并分析影响甲、乙、丙三处0℃等温线走向的主导因素。(6分)

(3)图三中某区域是世界上最大的石油产区。2010年12月底,一艘油轮从这一产油区出发经苏伊士运河前往美国,途经材料二、三图示地区的重要海峡。这艘油轮预计航行一个月时间,至材料二图示地区丁海峡时航速较慢,请分析理由。(3分)

答案

(1)地处大陆西岸,大西洋东侧,受到西风带和北大西洋暖流影响,形成温带海洋性气候;终年温和,最冷月均温在0℃以上,通常不会出现如此天气状况。(2分)

(2)西段东西走向;中间南北走向;东段东西走向。(3分)

甲:洋流(北大西洋暖流) 乙地:海陆位置(西风影响) 丙地:纬度位置(太阳辐射)(3分)

(3) (3分)

油轮自东向西经过经过丁海峡;

时值冬季,地中海地区受西风带控制,油轮逆风;

经过丁海峡时受到由西向东洋流(密度流)影响,逆水。

本题考查影响气候变化的因素分析和世界区域地理综合分析。(1)主要从大气环流和洋流角度,分析英国温带海洋性气候的成因,故终年温和多雨,冬季温带在0度以上。(2)图示等温线分布较弯曲,需要分段表述,而影响因素可结合各段的等温线分布特征分析,甲地等温线向北凸,反映温度较两边高,为北大西洋暖流影响;乙地等温线基本与海岸平行,反映海陆位置的影响;丙地等温线基本与纬线平行,反映纬度因素的影响。(3)由于航线时间为12月,为北半球的冬季,故地中海沿岸受盛行西风影响,故自苏伊士运河至直布罗陀海峡(丁)为逆风;且直布罗陀海峡的表层密度流终年自西向东流,故材料反映的航线为逆流。

问答题

You probably won’t be shocked to find out that the inventor of tire rubber is Charles Goodyear, as he’s the only guy on the list to actually get his name attached to the end product. (46) It wasn’t easy coming up with a form of rubber tough enough to withstand the drag racing and car chases everyone envisioned the day the automobile was invented. In fact, if there was one man who should have given up his life dream, it was Goodyear. (47)The man spent time in and out of prison, lost every friend he had and starved his children in his tireless pursuit of a per form of rubber.

(48) After his first two years of tinkering and failing with primitive rubber in the 1830s, Goodyear and his family were camping out in an abandoned factory and fishing for sustenance. This is when he made a huge breakthrough: He’d use acid to smooth out and toughen rubber! The government bought 150 mailbags made of the stuff and the rest is...

Oh, wait. They were all defective. The process didn’t work and Goodyear was ruined. Again.

Finally in 1839, Goodyear wandered into a general store with another failure of a formula. The crowd watched and laughed at him. (49)In a rage, he began to shake his fist, flinging a piece of his rubber onto the hot stove top.

After inspecting the charred remains, he realized that he had just found a way to make durable, weatherproof rubber. (50) Despite what we’re sure were numerous failed "now let’s try setting this on fire to see if it improves it!" experiments, an empire was born.
