A Rare Fossil Record

The preservation of embryos and juveniles is a rate occurrence in the fossil

record. The tiny, delicate skeletons are usually scattered by scavengers or destroyed by weathering before they can be fossilized.

Ichthyosaurs had a higher chance of being preserved than did terrestrial creatures because, as marine animals, they tended to live in environments less subject to erosion. Still, their fossilization required a suite of factors: a slow rate of decay of soft tissues, little scavenging by other animals, a lack of swift

currents and waves to jumble and carry away small bones, and fairly rapid burial.

Given these factors, some areas have become a treasury of well

preserved ichthyosaur fossils.The deposits at Holzmaden, Germany, present an interesting case for analysis. The ichthyosaur remains are found in black, bituminous marine shales deposited about 190 million years ago. Over the years,

thousands of specimens of marine reptiles, fish and invertebrates have been

recovered from these rocks. The quality of preservation is outstanding, but

what is even more impressive is the number of ichthyosaur fossils containing preserved embryos.Ichthyosaurs with embryos have been reported from 6 different levels of the shale in a small area around Holzmaden, suggesting that a specific site was used by large numbers of ichthyosaurs repeatedly over time. The embryos are quite advanced in their physical development; their paddles,

for example, are already well formed. One specimen is even preserved in the

birth canal. In addition, the shale contains the remains of many newborns that are between 20 and 30 inches long.

Why are there so many pregnant females and young at Holzmaden when they

are so rare elsewhere? The quality of preservation is almost unmatched and

quarry operations have been carried out carefully with an awareness of the value of the fossils. But these factors do not account for the interesting

question of how there came to be such a concentration of pregnant ichthyosaurs in a particular place very close to their time of giving birth.

罕见的化石记录

胚胎与幼体被保存下来在化石记录中是少见的事情。微小纤细的骨骼 通常在石化前就被食腐肉的动物拆散了，或者被风化作用破坏掉了。

鱼龙比起陆地的动物有更大的几率被保存下来，因为它们作为海洋动物常生活在腐蚀性较小的环境中.但是它们的石化需要一系列因素：软组织的腐烂速度缓慢，很少被其他动物残食，缺少混杂、冲走小骨头的快速水流和波浪，以及相当快地被掩埋。

当这些因素存在时，某些地区就会变成 一个充满保存完好的鱼龙化石的宝库。在德国获尔兹梅登，那儿的沉积物给人们提出了一个有趣的分析案例。人们在黑色的、含沥青的海洋页岩中发现了约 19，000 年前沉积下来的 鱼龙化石。几年时间内，在这些岩石中取得了数以千计的海洋爬行动物、鱼类以及无脊椎 动物的标本。它们的保存质量非常的好，但更令人称奇的是保存下来的育有胚胎的鱼龙化石数目。在获尔兹梅登附近一个小地区的六个不同的页岩层中分别发现了育有胚胎的鱼龙化石. 这表明大量的鱼龙经年累月重复使用一个特定的地点。 那些胚胎已经发育得相当完 整了.比如，它们的蹼桨已经完全形成了。 有一个标本甚至被保存在产道中。而且，那 块页岩包含着很多在 20 到 30 英寸之间的新生幼体的化石。

为什么在其他地方那么稀少的怀孕雌兽和幼体在获尔兹梅登却那么多呢? 因为其保存质量几乎举世无双，采集工作的进行一 直是一丝不苟的。大家都认识到这些化石的价值极其珍贵，但这些因素并不能解释这个有 趣的问题： 为什么在一个特定的地点会如此集中地出现即将临产的怀孕鱼

Skyscrapers and Environment
In the late 1960's, many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems, and new steel-and-glass skyscrapers were widely
criticized.

Ecologists pointed out that a cluster of tall buildings in a city often overburdens public transportation and parking lot capacities.Skyscrapers are also lavish
consumers, and wasters, of electric power. In one recent year, the addition of 17 million square feet of skyscraper office space in New York City raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120, 000 kilowatts -- enough to supply the entire city of Albany, New York, for a day.

Glass-walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful. The heat loss (or gain)through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical masonry wall filled with insulation board. To lessen the strain on heating and air-conditioning equipment, builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed panels of glass, and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that reduce glare as well as heat gain. However, mirror-walled skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings.

Skyscrapers put a severe strain on a city's sanitation facilities, too. If fully occupied, the two World Trade Center towers in New York City would alone generate 2.25 million gallons of raw sewage each year -- as much as a city the size of Stanford, Connecticut, which has a population of more than 109, 000.

摩天大楼与环境

60 年代后期，许多北美人把注意力转向了环境问题，那些崭新的玻璃钢摩天大楼受到 了广泛的批评。

生态学家指出，城市中密集的高层建筑经常给公共交通与停车场的承载能 力造成过重的负担。摩天大楼还是电能的过度消费者与浪费者。最近的某一年，纽约市摩
天写字楼 1，700 万英尺办公面积的增加使电能的最高日需求量提高了 120，000 千瓦. 这些电能足以供纽约的整个奥尔巴尼市使用一天.

玻璃表面的摩天大楼特别地浪费。 通过半英寸的平板玻璃墙壁损失(或增加)的热量是典型的加入绝缘板的石墙所允许的热量损失(或 增加)的十倍以上.为了减轻取暖设备或空调设备的压力，摩天大楼的建造者们已经开始使 用双面上釉的玻璃镶板和涂上了金色或银色反光薄膜的反光玻璃，来减少强光照射和热量的增加；但是，镜面的摩天大楼会提高周围空气的温度并会对附近的建筑物产生影响。

摩天大 楼也对城市的卫生设施造成了沉重的压力。单单纽约市的二个世界贸易中心大楼如果完全被占满的话，每年就会产生 2，250，000 加仑的污水.这相当于康涅狄格州的斯坦福市这样大的城市一年所产生的污水量，而康州的斯坦福市拥有 109，000 人口

Answer 2

As we know, pollution does great harm to human beings.
It is very important to deal with the rubbish in cities. Rubbish should be treated properly.
With the development of agriculture and industry, more and more waste is produced.
Now more and more people have come to realize how serious this problem is.
Laws have been passed to protect our environment.
A large quantity of trees should be planted.
We must make good use of water and avoid polluting it.
Our government is doing its best to take measures to fight against pollution.
Something must be done to prevent factories from polluting the air.
In my opinion, the best solution to this problem is to carry out the system of praise and punishment firmly.
It is glorious to take care of the environments while it is shameful to pollute them.
It is generally agreed that civilized people should love and protect wild animals.
Thus more effective measures should be taken immediately to protect wild animals.
Only by this means can we stop the air from being polluted.
Only in this way can we enjoy fresh air and live a healthy life.
To protect ourselves, we must keep the balance of nature.
We should take good care of the forest and plant more trees instead of cutting down so as to improve our living conditions.

Saving Our City
Rubbish may cause a lot of environmental problems if it is not properly treated. It may pollute air and water. When people breathe the polluted air or drink the polluted water, they may get ill.
Our city is attaching great importance to dealing with the problem. For example, rubbish is sorted and sent to different places so that it can be treated differently. Some rubbish, such as paper and glass, is recycled, while harmful rubbish is buried deep to avoid environmental pollution. Waste water is made clean before it is poured into rivers. Besides, the government has passed laws to prevent people from throwing rubbish wherever they like.
As members of our society, we should have a strong sense of environmental protection and do whatever we can to fight against pollution.

Global Shortage of Fresh Water
Many people believe that the world’s supply of fresh water will never be used up .They think that fresh water comes from such a variety of sources that it is always sufficient for use .Such an opinion leads to a shocking waste of water.
As a matter of fact, the earth is short of fresh water. Furthermore ,with the rapid growth of the world’s population ,the rising demand for water by industry ,and the serious pollution of our surroundings ,the world is facing the danger of running out of fresh water .Actually ,in some big cities ,fresh water cannot meet the daily needs.
Therefore ,to find new ways to save water is an urgent task. First ,we should pass strict laws to control any waste of water. Second ,scientists must work even harder to purify sea water and polluted water ,and try to find substitutes to reduce the use of fresh water.

Answer 3

1) Solution of environmental problem we face now

The population concentration to urban area has caused continuous degradation of the national land, the city and the natural environment. For instance, there are a waste problem, a heat island, a noise problem, rural desolation and abuse of water resources. We need to solve these problems in the society and the environment with a long-term view especially in our country where rapid population reduction has occurred prior to the world.
As approaching the zero emission, the advanced resource-recycling society, we will make the most effective and synthetic plans and solutions possibly accepted by the society under various restrictions. And we will develop the technology and the system to realize them such as increase in efficiency of resources use, promotion of reproducible resources, construction of a durable energy system, construction and maintenance of the city. Besides, we will support aging society by effective use of space, development of the eco-friendly materials in construction and the eco-friendly construction method and so on.

2) Construction of safe and healthy environment of urban area

The earth scale change of climate has brought a new kind of natural disaster and the developed and complicated city system is holding a latent risk of expanding the damage artificially. Also people has been spoiling the health since the immense quantity of chemicals have been produced and already used in pursuit of convenience and various toxic substances have been produced unintentionally and accumulated in environment. Therefore, We need some countermeasures from the viewpoint to prevent the city environment form disaster and to manage environmental risks. So we will develop and improve a new risk management system and a disaster prevention system to preserve and create the city environment where people feel easy and sound in their life.
