21、 to 35 are based on the following passage.After the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, structural 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
22、 after the terrorist attacks on the twin towers, structural engineers from the University at Buffalo 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 ob
23、jective in visiting ground zero was to go and look at the buildings surrounding the World Trade Center, 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 stan
24、ding, while our long-term goal is to see whether earthquake engineering technologies can be married to 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
25、 damage inflicted on the World Trade Center towers and buildings in the vicinity. One building a block 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,” ex
26、plained A. Whittaker, Ph. D. “The column became a missile that shot across the road, through the window 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, allo
27、wing floors that were pierced by tons of falling debris to remain intact. “Highly redundant ductile 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 col
28、umn fails.A. Reinhorn, Ph. D. noted that “Earthquake shaking has led to the collapse of many buildings 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 bla
29、st engineering and terrorist-resistant design. Part of our mission now at UB is to transfer these 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 s

34、ns for terror-resistant design B) blast engineering can borrow technologies developed 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： DPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 4
35、0 are based on the following passage.Chinese Americans today have higher incomes than Americans in general and higher occupational status. The Chinese have risen to this position despite some of the harshest discrimination and violence faced by any immigrants to the United States in the history of t
36、his country. Long confined to a narrow range of occupations they succeeded in those occupations and then spread out into other areas in later years, when opportunities finally opened up for them. Today much of the Chinese prosperity is due to the simple fact that they work more and have more (usuall
37、y better) education than others. Almost one out of five Chinese families has three or more income earners compared to one out of thirteen for Puerto Ricans (波多黎各人), one out of ten among American Indians, and one out of eight among Whites. When the Chinese advantages in working and educational are he
38、ld constant, they have no advantage over other Americans. That is in a Chinese Family with a given number of people working and with a given amount of education by the head of the family, the income is not only about average for such families, and offer a little less than average.While Chinese Ameri
39、cans as a group are prosperous and well-educated Chinatowns are pockets of poverty, and illiteracy is much higher among the Chinese than among Americans in general. Those paradoxes are due to sharp internal differences. Descendants of the Chinese Americans who emigrated long ago from Toishan Provinc
40、e have maintained Chinese values and have added acculturation (文化适应) to American society with remarkable success. More recent Hong Kong Chinese are from more diverse cultural origins, and acquired western values and styles in Hong Kong, without having acquired the skills to proper and support those
41、aspirations in the American economy. Foreign-born Chinese men in the United States are one-fourth lower incomes than native-born Chinese even though the foreign-born have been in the United States an average of seventeen years. While the older Hong Kong Chinese work tenaciously (顽强地) to sustain and
42、advance themselves, the Hong Kong Chinese youths often react with resentment and antisocial behavior, including terrorism and murder. The need to maintain tourism in Chinatown causes the Chinese leaders to mute or downplay these problems as much as possible.36.According to the passage, today, Chines
43、e Americans owe their prosperity to_.A) their diligence and better education than others B) their support of American government C) their fight against discriminations D) advantages in working only 正确答案： A37.The passage is mainly concerned with _.A) Chinese Americans today B) social status of Chines
44、e Americans today C) incomes and occupational status of Chinese Americans today D) problems of Chinese Americans today 正确答案： C38.Chinatowns are pockets of poverty, as is probably associated with _.A) most descendants of Chinese Americans are rebelling B) most descendants of Chinese Americans are ill
45、iterate C) sharp internal difference between Chinese coming from different cultural backgrounds D) only a few Chinese Americans are rich 正确答案： C39.Which of the following statements is not true according to this article?A) As part of the minority, Chinese Americans are still experiencing discriminati
46、on in American today. B) Nowadays, Chinese Americans are working in wider fields. C) Foreign-born Chinese earn lower income than native-born Chinese Americans with the similar advantages in the U.S. D) None of the above. 正确答案： C40.According to the author, which of the following can best describe the
