There are a wide variety of types of
airplanes. For example carrier-based airplanes, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) space
shuttles, land planes, and seaplanes; their capabilities and uses make them
seem only distantly related. Seaplanes, sometimes called floatplanes or pontoon planes, are often
ordinary land planes modified with floats instead of wheels so they can operate
from water. A number of seaplanes have been designed from scratch to operate
only from water bases. Such seaplanes have fuselages that resemble and perform
like ship hulls. Known as flying boats, they may have small floats attached to
their outer wing panels to help steady them at low speeds on the water, but the
weight of the airplane is borne by the floating hull.

Global sea level change for much of the
last country has generally been estimated using tide gauge measurements
collated over long period of time to give a long-term average. More recently,
altimeter measurements – in combination with accurately determined satellite
orbits – have provided an improvement of a global sea level change. To measure
sea level prior to instrumental measurements, scientists have dated coral reefs
that grow near the surface of ocean, coastal sediments, marine terraces, ooids
in limestone, and near shore archaeological remains. The predominant dating
methods used are uranium series and radiocarbon, with cosmogenic radionuclides
being sometimes used to date terraces that have experienced relative sea level
fall. In the early Pliocene, global temperatures were 1-2°C warmer than the
present temperature, yet sea level was 15-25 meters higher than today.

develops
more intensely

From
a historical perspective, technological revolutions have coincided with
population explosions. There have been three major technological revolutions –
the tool-making revolution, the agriculture revolution, and the industrial
revolution – all of which allowed humans more access to food, resulting in
subsequent population explosion. For example, the use of tools, such as bow and
arrow, allowed primitive hunters greater access to high energy foods (e.g.
animal meat). Similarly, the transition to farming about 10.000 years ago
greatly increased the overall food supply, which was used to support more
people. Food production further increased with the industrial revolution as
machinery, fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides were used to increase land
under cultivation as well as crop yields. In short, similar to bacteria that
multiply in response to increased food supply, humans have increased their
population as soon as food became more abundant as a result of technological
innovations.
A. The
text above intends to ….
B.
report the influence of technological revolutions to
population growth
C. relate
technological revolutions, population, and food production
D. explain
the importance of food production to human health
E. argue
about the population explosions
30. The
increases of food production are dependent very much on the following, except
A. fertilizers
B. pesticides
C. machinery
D. cultivation
