问题 单项选择题

下列各地地壳最厚处在()

A.华北平原

B.青藏高原

C.云贵高原

D.塔里木盆地

答案

参考答案:B

解析:

地壳有两层组成,上层为硅铝层,下层为硅镁层;地壳大陆部分厚,大洋部分薄,且硅铝层是一不连续圈层。A、B、C、D四处中青藏高原海拔最高,所以青藏高原处地壳最厚。

考点:本题考查地壳内部圈层结构。

点评:本题属基础知识识记题,难度小。学生熟练掌握地壳内部圈层结构即可轻松作答。地球内部大致分为三个圈层,从地心向地表依次为地核、地幔和地壳。其中地壳是一个连续圈层,陆地部分较厚,海洋部分较薄;软流层位于地幔(圈层)的上部,是岩浆的重要发源地;岩石圈是由软流层以上的地幔部分与地壳构成。地核以古登堡面与地幔分界,分为内核和外核。

Please help! I live in Germany with my wife and three kids. My parents live in the UK. I want my kids to have as much contact with their grandparents as possible. The kids all use e-mail, Skype and SMS but my parents won’t. I’ve bought them a laptop, paid for broadband, given them both mobile phones and a digital camera, but they won’t use them. My parents say they hate computers and new technology. What can I do with these “technophobes”?

Daniel, Buremburg, Germany

Actually, the original technophobes were the Luddites, a group of cloth workers in 19th century Britain during the Industrial Revolution. The Luddite cloth workers, who traditionally made cloth by hand, were worried that machines were going to take away their jobs and way of life. These machines could make cloth much faster and cheaper than humans. In 1811 and 1812 the Luddites destroyed the machines that they hated so much, but the British government supported the factory owners. Many Luddites were arrested. Charlotte Bronte’s novel Shirley will tell your parents all about it.

Laura makes some interesting points, I think. Technophobes has been a common theme in science fiction. Frankenstein, one of the first science fiction, is a warning of what could happen if humans began to experiment with human life.

One thing you could try is to find hardware that is designed for older people to use. An example is the mobiles made by the US company, Jitterbug. Instead of icons and menus the Jitterbug phones ask users simple “yes/no” questions and have larger keypads. The company realized that there are potentially 100 million older users in the US alone.
