　　Close your eyes and picture the city of Paris．Now imagine the city without its most famous landmark：the Eiffel Tower．

　　The unthinkable almost happened．

　　When French engineer Gustave Eiffel built this tower for the Paris World’s Fair of 1889，it was controversial．The iron structure contrasted(對比)sharply with the historic stone buildings of Paris．Eiffel’s four-legged iron archway was supposed to last only 20 years．That’s when Eiffel’s permit to operate the building would expire(過期)and the city could choose to tear it down．

　　Yet from the beginning．Eiffel had a strategy to save his building．If the Tower was linked

　　to important research，he reasoned，no one would dare to take it down．So he would make it a

　　grand laboratory for science．

　　Scientific research began just one day after the Tower opened to the public on May 6，

　　1889．Eiffel installed a weather station on the Tower’s third(and highest)floor．He connected

　　instruments by wire to the French weather bureau in Paris．With these，he measured wind speed

　　and air pressure．

　　In 1903，still worried that his building might be torn down，Eiffel got a clever idea．He

　　asked the French military to conduct its own research on radio communications at the Tower．He even paid the army’s costs．

　　French army captain Gustave Ferrié worked from a little wooden house at the base of the

　　Tower's southern pillar．From there，he made radio contact with forts around Paris．Convinced of the importance of radio communications，the army set up a permanent radio station at the

　　Tower．In 1910，the city of Paris renewed the structure’s permit for another 70 years．

　　This year marks the iconic structure’s 125th birthday．Over the years，research conducted

　　there has brought dramatic and unexpected payoffs．During World War I，for instance，the French army used the Tower as a giant ear to receive radio messages．It even led to the arrest of one of the war's most famous spies．

　　28．What does the author mean by“The unthinkable almost happened”?

　　A．The Eiffel Tower was almost torn down．

　　B．Gustave Eiffel was more than an engineer．

　　C．It took great efforts to build the Eiffel Tower．

　　D．The Eiffel Tower has served important purposes．

　　29．The Eiffel Tower was controversial because_____________．

　　A．it was giant and ugly

　　B．it would expire too soon

　　C．some historic buildings had to be removed

　　D．it didn’t match the historic buildings of Paris

　　30．How did Gustave Eiffel save the Eiffel Tower?

　　A．By asking the army to defend it．

　　B．By showing its importance for tourism．

　　C．By making it a base for scientific research．

　　D．By asking the government to renew its permit．

　　31．The arrest of a famous spy is mentioned to show．

　　A．the Eiffel Tower has lost its initial value

　　B．the Eiffel Tower has existed long enough

　　C．research done in the Eiffel Tower had unexpected payoffs

　　D．the Eiffel Tower was successfully preserved during the war

　　The vast jungles of the Amazon rainforest are home to tribes(部落)mostly isolated(隔絕的)from the outside world，whose way of life，largely unchanged for hundreds of years，is now increasingly threatened by modern civilization．

　　Now, scientists discover they can monitor these“uncontacted tribes”using satellites，which would allow inexpensive and safe tracking of these tribes in order to protect them from outside threats．

　　In order to help conserve these uncontacted Indians，researchers need accurate estimates of their populations．One way to collect this data involves flying over their villages，but such overflights are both expensive and could fill these native peoples with fear．Another strategy involves meeting individuals on the ground，but among other risks，scientists could accidentally spread disease to members of the tribes．

　　Instead，scientists investigated whether satellite imaging could monitor uncontacted tribes. The result was inspiring．They confirmed their locations and measured the sizes of their Village，houses and gardens．“We can find isolated vinages with remote sensing and study them over time．”Walker told Live Science．“We can ask：Are they growing?Do they move?”
