Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. After the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, struc

22、tural engineers are trying hard to solve a question that a month ago would have been completely unthinkable: Can building be designed to withstand catastrophic blasts inflicted by terrorists? Ten days after the terrorist attacks on the twin towers, structural engineers from the University at Buffalo

23、 and the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) headquartered at UB traveled to ground zero(被毁现场) as part of a project funded by the National Science Foundation. “Our objective in visiting ground zero was to go and look at the buildings surrounding the World Trade Cente

24、r, those buildings that are still standing, but that sustained damage,” said M. Bruneau, Ph. D. “Our immediate hope is that we can develop a better understanding as to why those buildings remain standing, while our long-term goal is to see whether earthquake engineering technologies can be married t

25、o existing technologies to achieve enhanced performance of buildings in the event of terrorist attacks,” he added. Photographs taken by the investigators demonstrate in startling detail the monumental damage inflicted on the World Trade Center towers and buildings in the vicinity. One building a blo

26、ck away from the towers remains standing, but was badly damaged. “This building is many meters away from the World Trade Center and yet we see a column there that used to be part of that building,” explained A. Whittaker, Ph. D. “The column became a missile that shot across the road, through the win

27、dow and through the floor.” The visit to the area also revealed some surprises, according to the engineers. For example, the floor framing system in one of the adjacent buildings was quite rugged, allowing floors that were pierced by tons of falling debris to remain intact. “Highly redundant ductile

28、 framing systems may provide a simple, but robust strategy for blast resistance,” he added. Other strategies may include providing alternate paths for gravity loads in the event that a load-bearing column fails. A. Reinhorn, Ph. D. noted that “Earthquake shaking has led to the collapse of many build

29、ings in the past. It induces dynamic response and extremely high stresses and deformations in structural components. Solutions developed for earthquake-resistant design may be directly applicable to blast engineering and terrorist-resistant design. Part of our mission now at UB is to transfer these

30、solutions and to develop new ones where none exist at present.” 31. The question raised in the first paragraph is one _. A) that was asked by structural engineers a month ago B) that is too difficult for structural engineers to answer even now C) that was never thought of before the terrorist attack

31、 D) that terrorists are eager to find a solution to 正确答案： C 32. The project funded by the National Science Foundation_. A) was first proposed by some engineers at UB B) took about two days to complete C) was to investigate the damage caused by the terrorist attack D) was to find out why some buildin

A) was part of the building close to the World Trade Center B) was part of the World Trade Center C) was shot through the window and the floor of the World Trade Center D) damaged many buildings in the vicinity of the Wo

33、rld Trade Center 正确答案： A 34. A surprising discovery made by the investigators during their visit to ground zero is that _. A) floors in the adjacent building remain undamaged B) some floor framing systems demonstrate resistance to explosion C) simple floor framing systems are more blast resistant D)

34、 floors in one of the adjacent buildings were pierced by tons of debris 正确答案： B 35. What Dr. Reinhorn said in the last paragraph may imply all the following EXCEPT that _. A) blast engineers should develop new solutions for terror-resistant design B) blast engineering can borrow technologies develop

35、ed for terror-resistant design C) solutions developed for earthquake-resistant design may apply to terrorist-resistant design D) blast engineering emerges as a new branch of science 正确答案： D Passage Two Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. Islamic terrorism may be a distant threat f

36、or Shearer Lumber Products, a timber company based in Idaho. But eco-terrorism is a very real one. In November, the Earth Liberation Front (ELF), an underground organization, gave warning that it had “spiked” trees in the Nez Perce national forest to protest against logging. Spiking involves hiding

37、metal bars in tree trunks, thereby potentially crippling chain saws and hurting people. More such attacks are expected. The nations forests have seen a sharp increase in violent incidents equipment vandalized, people intimidated over the past ten years. Shearer now carefully inspects every tree befo

38、re cutting and has been using metal detectors to check every trunk being processed. Yet Ihor Mereszczak, of the Nez Perce Forest Service, says it has been hard to get the FBIs attention, and investigations have got nowhere. The ELF is only one thread in a web of underground radical environmentalists

39、. Its aim is to inflict as much financial pain as possible on organizations or people who, by its lights, are exploiting the environment. The ELF, though made up of anonymous cells, nonetheless operates a website offering tips on how to cause fires with electric timers. Until recently, it also had a

40、 public spokesman. Together with the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), which operates along the same lines, the ELF is estimated to be responsible for over $45m-worth of damage in North America over the past few years. In 1998, it caused fires that did $12m-worth of damage in Vail, Colorado, to make th

41、e point that the ski resorts expansion was threatening places where lynxes live. Since September 11th, the ALF and ELF have claimed responsibility for starting a fire at a primate research center in New Mexico, releasing mink from an Iowa fur farm, and firebombing a federal corral for wild horses in

42、 California. Are they terrorists? The two groups reject the label, claiming to take all precautions against harming “animals, whether humans or not”. But earlier this year Louis Freeh, the FBIs boss, listed both organizations among the most active domestic terrorist groups. The House subcommittee on

43、 forests, which Mr. McInnis heads, will hold a hearing on eco-terrorism in February. But he has annoyed some mainstream green groups by asking them to denounce the ELFs and ALFs methods. Greenpeace, for instance, says that its disapproval is self-evident, and resents being asked to express it. Mr. M

44、cInnis still wants their answer by December 1st, but the war on eco-terrorism is off to a rocky start. 36. What did the ELF do to Shearer Lumber Products? A) Hurt its employees. B) Crippled its equipments. C) Hid metals in its trees. D) Protested against its spiking. 正确答案： C 37. We can infer from th
