Shoals of fishes were killed, sea birds hopelessly fouled with oil and coastal holiday resorts put out of business for several weeks. As a result of this particular incident scientists are being restless at the thought of Britain39。s inability to cope with national disasters on a large scale. The reason for their concern is that technology is rapidly outstripping(超越)man39。s ability to control it. Oil tankers, for instance, have been allowed to get bigger and bigger without sufficient thought being given to emergency braking and manoeuvring arrangement. Collisions at sea continue, but little effect has been made to develop safety devices as effective as those used for aircraft.Scientists were outspoken in expressing their concern during a recent meeting of the British Association. Unanimous approval was voiced when the leading speaker urged that a permanent national rescue services should be established, equipped for any emergency and ready to move off immediately.Of all the possible disasters mentioned, the one promoting most discussion was a major release of radioactivity from a nuclear power station. One does not need a particularly vivid imagination to visualize the other possibilities discussed. What would be the effect of a jumbojet crashing on a large chemical plant handling destroying liquids? Could the tapping of natural gas lead to any form of collapse? Suppose a lorry full of a highly poisonous chemical crashed unseen into a large reservoir? Dams can burst, abnormal conditions can lead to massive electrical blackouts.An intensive study of such possibilities could at least reduce the effects of future disasters. For example, it would mean that a number of technical alternatives (such as the choice between detergent or chalk for dispersing oil) could be examined and tested in advance so that specially trained expert would know exactly what action was needed in a given emergency. 76. The main idea of the second paragraph is that ____. :A. safety precautions in aircraft are not as effective as those used on shipsB. modern oil tankers can stop or turn easily in spite of their sizeC. there are now fewer collisions at sea because of modern safety devicesD. oil tankers are so big that special devices are needed 77. The idea of a permanent national rescue service was weled by ____ of those present at the meeting of the British Association.:A. all B. the most outspoken C. some D. most 78. In the fourth paragraph the writer states that ____ .:A. on one occasion radioactivity escaped from a nuclear power stationB. an areoplane carrying destroying liquids might crash into chemical plantC. a lorry once crashed into a reservoirD. a terrible accident could happen in a nuclear power station 79. The main idea of the final paragraph is that ____. :A. in an emergency all the technical alternations should be studiedB. experts should be specially trained to determine the exact difference between detergent and chalkC. we ought to decide what measures to take before a disaster occursD. technical experts should be examined and tested to see whether they are capable of selecting the right course of action in a future emergency 80. Of the following suggested titles the one most accurately summing up the passage is ____ . :A. The Dangers of Modern TechnologyB. The Problem of Oil PollutionC. Some Interesting AccidentsD.
