Pretoria, South Africa -Hundreds of swimmers play in the water along a South Africa beach. Sudde nly a huge shark appears off shore and heads for the bathers. Before it can get close to the swimmers, the shark, for some mysterious reason, starts swimming parallel to the beach. Then it turns away from the shore and heads out to sea, leav ing the swimmers un touched.
Such a sce ne will soon become com mon along shark-i n-fasted 鲨鱼成群的）shores. An electrical engin eer from the Un iversity of Pretoria has developed an electrical system that repels （击退）sharks by con trolli ng their moveme nts. Con fused by this acti on, the sharks end up turni ng away from the beach. In this unusual shark-repellent method, an insulated （绝缘的）cable is buried on the bottom of the sea around a beach where people swim. When an electric curre nt is sent through the cable, an electric field is produced in the water above the cable.
When shark swims into the electric field, n erve cells just below the shark' s skin will sense the field. The electricity produces a reflex （反射作用）action in the shark' s muscles, causing the dan gerous ani mal to swim parallel to the cable. Con fused by in creas ing loss of con trol of its muscles, the shark sudde nly cha nges its directi on and heads seaward, away from the electric field. In a test of the in visible new shark-repelle nt system, a cable was placed aro und a beach in St. Lucia, an isla nd aro und the beach a long time ago to keep sharks away from swimmers, and a net was left in place during the experiment. When the electric field was left on for more than a year and a half, no sharks were found in the n et. However, whe n the power was tur ned off,89 sharks en ded up in the n et.
Using the electric-wall method in stead of net to protect bathers would avoid the n eedless death of many sharks, said biologists. Currently, thousands of sharks die each year when they become trapped in
protective n ets that surro und holiday resorts in Africa and Australia. About 10 to 15 huma ns are killed by sharks annu ally.
59 . Why does n' t the shark attack the swimmers accord ing to the passage? A . Because there are so many swimmers in the water.
B . Because the shark sn' t so hungry as to eat the swimmers. C . Because of some mysterious power from the heave n.
D . Because there is an in visible electric field confusing the shark.
60 . An electrical engin eer from the Un iversity of Pretoria has developed __ A . a protective net
B . a new shark-repelle nt system C . the electric field D . an in sulated cable
61. An electric field is produced in the water above the cable . A . only when a shark swims into the electric field
B . only when an insulated cable is buried on the bottom of the sea around a beach where people swim C . only whe n an electric curre nt is sent through the cable D . only whe n the sharks are trapped in protective n ets
62 . Which of the follow ing is NOT TRUE accordi ng to the passage?
A . Protective n ets had bee n fixed earlier tha n the new shark-repelle nt system. B . The new shark -repelle nt system will probably replace the protective n ets.
C . Thousa nds of sharks have died each year since this new system was put into use.
D . Using the electric-wall in stead of n ets would avoid the n eedless death of many sharks. C
