Scientists at a Nevada earthquake lab tested new bridge designs last Wednesday. The
designs have connectors they say are innovative
(创新的)
.The designs were created to better
stand violent earthquakes and speed reconstruction efforts after major quake damage.
The engineers in University of Nevada, Reno performed the experiments on a huge “shake
table.” They attempted to simulate
(模拟)
the violent movements of an earthquake hitting a
100-ton, 70-fbot bridge model. They wanted to see how well it would hold up. Graduate
students measured and marked signs of tiny cracks. But no major structural damage was
observed in the initial review of the experiments. “The bridge has done better than we
expected”, said Saiid Saiidi. He is a professor of civil and environmental engineering, also the
project leader. He’s done related research for more than 30 years.
Bridges are already designed not to fall apart in earthquakes. But they are often unsafe for
travel after big quakes. He said the tested designs used special types of connectors to link
pre-made bridge parts. This included high-performance concrete. The parts have been tested on
their own. But they were never tested before combined in a bridge model subjected to realistic
earthquake movements, like the 1994 Northridge, California quake. Wednesday’s test inside
the University of Nevad’s Earthquake Engineering Laboratory simulated the activities of a
quake as large as magnitude 7. 5. The innovative connectors allow for ready-made concrete and
other materials to be attached to an existing bridge foundation. This should speed repair and

The University of Nevada’s Earthquake Engineering Laboratory is the largest of its kind
in the United States. The latest project is funded by the California Department of
Transportation, which is currently developing plans for 10 pilot projects based on the
developing bridge connector technology.

To give practical advice.

Nowadays some companies are attempting to grow seafood from cells in a laboratory
rather than harvesting it from the oceans.
With massive problems with overfishing worldwide and growing demand for shrinking
supplies of seafood, the way fish currently makes its way to our plates isn't a long-term viable
option. Between 1961 and 2016, the average annual increase in global food fish consumption
outpaced population growth. Those are figures not sustainable for us, the fish or the
environment as a whole.
Cellular seafood could be the answer. Just don't make the mistake of calling it lab-grown
fish. ''None of us in the industry would call it lab-grown seafood, '' says Mike Selden, CEO of
Finless Foods. ''Finless Foods isn’t lab-grown. We experiment and create our science in the lab,
but don't produce there. Our products come from a production base much like a farm as a

．

D
．

production base for animals.''
Finless Foods is a tech company in San Francisco. Beginning in 2017, it's been working to
bring to market a species of cultured bluefin tuna (
蓝鳍金枪鱼
) created using cellular
technology. Shortly after that, the company produced its first pound of bluefin tuna meat for a
cost of about $$19,000. Since then, however, it's been working to bring that price down.
Selden terms what Finless Foods is doing as ''cell-based seafood''. ''We're growing seafood
from real seafood cells,'' Selden explained. ''We take cells from a fish once, and then grow them
endlessly from that. We do the same process that happens inside of a fish and make it happen
outside of a fish. ''
The goal of cellular seafood isn't to entirely destroy the current seafood industry. Instead,
it's intended to augment it—and perhaps to help reduce some of the more harmful aspects of
current fishing practices like overfishing and illegal fishing. And when it comes to certain sea
species, this laboratory-based approach could help create a plentiful supply of certain fish
without endangering the survival of certain overfished species as a whole.

．
What is the main function of the second paragraph?
A
．
Warning us of the shrinking seafood supplies.
B
．
Stressing the significance of cellular seafood.
C
．

D
．
Showing the environmental effect of seafood.
9
．
What problem with cellular seafood is Finless Foods facing?
A

C
．
Its potential harmful health effect.
B

This month, Germany’s transport minister, Alexander Dobrindt ,

proposed the first
set of rules for autonomous vehicles(
自主驾驶车辆）
.They would define the driver’s role in
such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.
The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous

vehicles: the grey area between semi- autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the
driverless future.
Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses property(
财产）
damage over
personal injury; that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race; and that if a
human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel — to check email, say — the car’s
maker is responsible if there is a crash.
“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving,” says Dobrindt. It
will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human drivers, he says.
Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers,
consumers and lawyers. “The liability(
法律责任）
issue is the biggest one of them all,” says
Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds, UK.
An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars, introduced earlier this year,
insists that a human “ be watchful and monitoring the road” at every moment.
But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars. “When
you say ‘driverless cars”, people expect driverless cars.” Merat says “You know — no driver.”
Because of the confusion, Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be
fully automated without operation.
Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own,
says Ryan Calo at Stanford University, California. That is happening in the UK and Singapore,
where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched.
That would go down poorly in the US, however. “The idea that the government would take
over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,” says
Calo.
12
．
What does the phrase “death valley” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A
．
A place where cars often break down.
C
．
An area where no driving is permitted.
B
．
A case where passing a law is impossible.
D
．
A situation where drivers’ role is not clear.
13
．
The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to __________.
A
．
stop people from breaking traffic rules.
C
．
protect drivers of all ages and races.
B
．
help promote fully automatic driving.
D
．
prevent serious property damage.
14
．
What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars?
A
．
It should get the attention of insurance companies.
B
．
It should be the main concern of law makers.
C
．
It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.
D
．
It should involve no human responsibility.
15
．
Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in __________.
A
．
Singapore


二、七选五
If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you. We
all need some normal stress in our lives, after all.16
．
So challenge the following limits:
1. Figure out what you’re scared of and do it continuously.
If you’re a salesman, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone
now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick
up the phone and make a call.17
．
But don’t stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at
fear in the eye and say, “Go on. I’m not scared!”
2
. Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to develop
Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress
while performing this.18
．
Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your
hobby may also give you extra income.
3
. Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.
19
．
A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself.
Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better
about yourself.
4
. Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.
Don’t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers—try to connect with the service staff.
You never know what kind of people they’re going to be. Get out of your house or go online
right now to book your class.20
．

A
．
You should do it continuously.
B
．
Someone may hang up on you.
C
．
You don’t need to go to the gym.
D
．
Running in the gym may be a better choice.
to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.
examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on.
can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.

One day, the Mullah, an important man in the village, found his donkey was gone
when he wanted to go visit a friend. He was very angry and ran around to look for his donkey.
The Mullah ran about looking until he was too tired. He sat down to rest at his gate. A few
friends came to join him.
“That no- good lazy donkey!” said he.
Selling a donkey for a dollar was just a joke.
Just then the Mullah heard the sound of his donkey’s feet. He looked was his

Suddenly, the Mullah looked to one side and saw one of his friends holding up a dollar. On
the other side he saw another with a dollar.

The Mullah couldn’t break his word. That would be wrong for an important person in the
village. He certainly didn’t want to sell his donkey for a dollar. So he said,
donkey fair on Saturday. I shall sell her at that time. I shall sell my donkey to the one who will

Everybody was kind to animals in the village.
