Two years later the London Business School arrived, closely followed by Manchester and a score more, many with more of an eye on Harvard and Stanford than the needs of the Midlands car industry or the ailing textile mills.

第二组：Magnetic pickup (MPU) sensors are devices which can be used in conjunction with electronic control modules for monitoring of parameters such as speed, direction of rotation and a variety of alarm conditions. MPU sensors are available in various sizes and types. Following are some guidelines for their selection on industrial engines. MPUs are located near a flywheel, camshaft or other type of gear with rotation relative to engine speed. The passing of the gear teeth through the MPU tip (pole) generates a voltage and frequency. This frequency is converted to a speed reference by a control module. It should be noted here that most MPUs will develop similar signals. However, the magnitude and strength of the signal is dependent on the size of the sensor in relation to the gear teeth, the clearance between the pole piece and the gear teeth, and various other factors. As a general rule of thumb, the following standards should be met:

①Dimension of tooth top surface should be equal to or more than the pole piece diameter.

②Tooth height should be equal to, or more than the space between teeth.

③The space between teeth should be approximately three times the pole piece diameter.

④Air gap (clearance) between tooth and pole piece should be between 0.015" to 0.030". MPUs

normally have 3/8", 5/8" threads and 2", 3" and 4" lengths. Determining which size is appropriate

depends on the space available for installation, the availability of pre-drilled holes and consideration to

those rules mentioned above. In most cases, these will be the only factors affecting the selcetion of a

MPU.

MPUs can be used to ____.①sense speed ②supply alarm ③sense direction of rotation.

A.①②

B.②③

C.①③

D.①②③

Passage One

The largest earthquake (magnitude里氏9．5)of the 20th century happened on May 22,1960 0ff the coast of South Central Chile．

It generated(生成) one of the most destructive Pacific-wide tsunami（海啸）． Near the generating area, both the earthquake and the tsunami were very much destructive, particularly in the coastal area from Concepcion to the south end of Isla Chiloe．The largest tsunami damage occurred at Isla Chiloe-the coastal area closest to the epicenter(震中)．Huge tsuna- mi waves measuring as high as 25 meters arrived within l0 to 15 minutes after the earthquake, killing at least two hundred people, sinking all the boats, and flooding half a kilometer inland．

There was large damage and loss of life at Concepcion, Chile's top industrial city．Near the city of Valdivia, the earthquake and following aftershocks generated landslides which killed 18 people． At the port city of Valparaiso, a city of 200,000, many buildings collapsed． A total of 130,000 houses were destroyed-one in every three in the earthquake zone and nearly 2,000,000 people were left homeless．

Total damage losses, including agriculture and industry, were estimated(估计） to be over a half billion dollars． The total number of deaths related with both the tsunami and the earthquake was never found accurately for the region． Estimates of deaths reached between 490 and 57,002 with no distinction(差别) as to how many deaths were caused by the earthquake and how many were caused by the tsunami． However, it is believed that most of the deaths in Chile were caused by the tsunami．

Where did the largest tsunami damage occur？ ()

A． Concepcion

B． Isia Chiloe

C． Valdivia

D． Valparaiso

nd housing in the past few months are leading economists to revise their real gross domestic product (GDP) forecasts upward supporting the notion that the recession ended in December or January.

Bear in mind: This recovery won’t have the vitality normally associated with an upturn. Economists now expect real GDP growth of about 1.5 in the first quarter. That’s better than the 0.4 the consensus projected in December, but much of the additional growth will come from a slower pace of inventory drawdowns, not from surging demand.

Moreover, the economy won’t grow fast enough to help the labor markets much. The only good news there is that jobless claims have fallen back from their spike after September 11 and that their current level suggests the pace of layoffs is easing.

The recovery also does not mean the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates soon. The January price indexes show that inflation remains tame. Consequently, the Fed can take its time shifting monetary policy from extreme accommodation to relative neutrality.

Perhaps the best news from the latest economic reports was the January data on industrial production. Total output fell only 0.1, its best showing since July. Factory output was flat, also the best performance in six months. Those numbers may not sound encouraging, but manufacturers have been in recession since late 2000. The data suggest that the factory sector is finding a bottom from which to start its recovery.

Production of consumer goods, for instance, is almost back up to where it was a year ago. That’s because consumer demand for motor vehicles and other goods and the housing industry remained healthy during the recession, and they are still growing in early 2002.

Besides, both the monthly homebuilding starts number and the housing market index for the past two months are running above the averages for all of 2001, suggesting that home-building is off to a good start and probably won’t be big drag on GDP growth this year.

Equally important to the outlook is how the solid housing market will help demand for home-related goods and services. Traditionally, consumers buy the bulk of their furniture, electronics, and textiles within a year of purchasing their homes. Thus, spending on such items will do well this year, even as car sales slip now that incentives are less attractive. Look for the output of consumer goods to top year-ago level in coming months.

Even the business equipment sector seems to have bottomed out. Its output rose 0.4% in January, led by a 0.6% jump computer gear. A pickup in orders for capital goods in the fourth quarter suggests that production will keep increasing—although at a relaxed pace—in coming months.
