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
Nevada'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 reconstruction.
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.
24. Why did the scientists work on the new bridge designs?
A. To observe quake damage.B. To measure structural damage.
C. To simulate violent earthquakes.
D. To accelerate repair and rebuilding of bridges.
25. What is Professor Saiid Saiidi's attitude towards the experiments?
A. Satisfied. B. Disappointed. C. Indifferent. D. Curious.
26. Which of the following can describe the experiments?
A. They were conducted in a small lab.
B. They caused huge cracks on the model.
C. They combined bridge parts with connectors.
D. They tested the bridges in genuine earthquakes.
27. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To solve a problem. B. To present a research result.
C. To give practical advice. D. To prevent damage from happening.
C
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 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.
28. 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. Analyzing the reasons for global overfishing.
D. Showing the environmental effect of seafood.
29. What problem with cellular seafood is Finless Foods facing?
A. The high cost of its production.
B. Its inadequate nutrient content.
C. Its potential harmful health effect.
D. The complex production process.
30. What does the underlined word “augment” in the last paragraph most
probably mean?
A. replace B. strengthen C. cancel D. tolerate
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Is Seafood Made Out of Cells? B. Will Seafood Become Cheaper?
C. Have We Got Enough Seafood? D. Is Cellular Seafood Sustainable?
D
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．
32．What does the phrase “death valley” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A place where cars often break down．
B．A case where passing a law is impossible．
C．An area where no driving is permitted．
D．A situation where drivers’ role is not clear．
33．The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to __________．
A．stop people from breaking traffic rules
B．help promote fully automatic driving
C．protect drivers of all ages and races
D．prevent serious property damage
34．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．
35．Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in
__________．
A．Singapore B．the UK C．the US D．Germany

有两项为多余选项
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. 36 . 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. 37 . 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. 38 . 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.
39 . 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. 40
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.
E. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.
F. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on.
G. You 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. "If I ever see her again, I’ll sell her for a dollar!" Selling a donkey for a dollar was just a joke.
Just then the Mullah heard the sound of his donkey’s feet. He looked around.There was hi
s donkey.On her back rode a boy,
"Where did you find her?" asked the Mullah. "We couldn’t find her anywhere."
"I knew where I would go if
I were a donkey," said the boy. "I found her eating grass with the
sheep and goats."
Suddenly, the Mullah looked to one side and saw one of his friends holding up a dollar. O
n the other side he saw another with a dollar.
"I’ll buy your donkey, " said the two.
"I was joking!" said the Mullah.
"You didn’t sound as if you were joking, " said the two.
The Mullah couldn’t break his word. That would be wrong for an important person in the
village. Hecertainly didn’t want to sell his donkey for a dollar. So he said, "Meet me at the don

Dear Mike,
Our school is going to hold a contest in the hall to tell Chinese stories in English， starting
at 9 am next Friday, which I'd like to invite you to participate in.
As you know, we organize such activities every year, for they can boost our spoken English.
Considering you are always a big fan of Chinese culture, I think you must be crazy about joining
us, by which you can have a better understanding of Chinese stories. If you are available，
please register at the student council office before next Wednesday.
I'm eagerly awaiting your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

So the Mullah thought out a plan. He wanted to keep his word and also to keep his donkey.
On the night before the donkey fair, the Mullah bought a piece of rope. No one had any idea
why the Mullah should want a piece of rope.On Saturday, man and boy in the village came to
the donkey fair.They found a cat tied with a piece of rope to the tail of the Mullah's donkey!
Beside them stood the Mullah, who looked happy."It is true, I'll sell my donkey for a dollar,"
said the Mullah. "Just one thing, though.
My donkey and my cat are very good friends. They must not be parted. The kind man who
buys my donkey must buy my cat also.""How much is your cat?" asked many voices."Oh, my
cat is a very important animal," said the Mullah. "Her father caught a mouse for a king. Her
mother caught a mouse for the Queen. She is one of the finest of cats. For such a great cat I want
one hundred dollars."The men laughed, and gave up the idea of owning the donkey.
