24、of at the state museum. As freak rainstorms lashed in the central and southern sections of the state, part of the museums roof which was scheduled to be repaired collapsed and water cascaded into two storerooms. The museum director said that several well known pieces, including oils, watercolors and
25、 frescoes, had been damaged, although only one objects, a 19 century fresco was damaged beyond repair. She added that inspection for damages has not been completed and therefore she could not estimate costs of the repair and replacement.39. What part of the museum flooded?40. What was damaged?41. Wh
26、at can not be restored?42. What did the director say about the cost of damages?43 to 46 welcome to the New Bedford institutes, series of lectures on the mysteries of the sea. You may have noticed the drawing on the cover of the program for todays presentation. It depicts a sea creature that scientis
27、ts have been interested in for many years. It is said that in the 19th century a group of fishermen were surprised by seeing a huge squid that they said was as big as a house and had enormous tentacles. The fishermen were frightened out of their wits according to reports from that time. The creature
28、 sank back into the ocean and was never seen again. Marine biologists believed that this species of giant squid called archituth is still exits. And is comes to represent how little we know about sea creatures. Compared with what we know about the animals on the land. We do know that there are many
29、more different kinds of marine species than there are land species. But we just dont have the technology yet to do sustained research. Even short unmanned trips are so hard to accomplish.

30、seeing what you get. In other words its very hard to picture the whole situation when thats the way you have to get your samples.

32、he information about rare sea creatures been found?47-50 With the introduction of radio, newspaper publishers wondered how broadcasting would affect them. Many feared that radio as a quick and easy means of keeping people informed would displace the newspaper industry altogether.Others hoped that th
33、e brief newscast heard on the air would stimulate listeners interested in the story so theyd buy the paper to get more information. This second idea turned out to be closer to the truth. Radio & print were not substitutes for each other but actually supported each other. You see the relation ship be
34、tween different media is not always one of displacement but can be one of reinforcement. However this is not always the case. Take television & motion pictures for example, with the popularization of TV, the motion picture industry suffered greatly. Movie attendance dropped when audience members cho
35、se to stay at home and be entertained. Likewise. When a football game was shown on the air, the stands were often empty because fans chose to watch the game at home.47.
