The City of Loulan is known both in China and throughout the world as
3、 the Middle Kingdoms “Pompeii” in the desert and one of the cradles of the civilization.

22、in the Sichuan earthquake. Thousands of people were buried in the ruins and lost their lives. What if we could have warned them? People are always racking_their_brains to find a way of preventing buildings collapse. Better materials and technology help, but they are not a solution. Just like humans,
23、 a building has its own life cycle from “birth” to “death”. If we know when a building is going to collapse, we can repair it in advance or get out of it before it falls. Now, scientists at the University of Illinois have developed a material that turns red before it breaks. The invention could be u
24、sed in things like climbing ropes or bridge supports. The research was led by Nancy Sottos, a professor at the universitys Beckman Institute, and Douglas Davis, a graduate research assistant. The secret behind the colorchanging material is a type of molecule (分子 ). A molecule is a group of atoms hel
25、d together by chemical bonds. Imagine you and your friends standing in a circle, holding hands. Each person stands for one atom, your hands represent the bonds, and the entire circle represents a molecule. If one person lets go of his or her hands, the molecule changes color. The research team put t
26、he molecule into a soft material. When the researchers stretched the material, it turned bright red for a few seconds before it broke into two pieces. When they repeatedly stretched and relaxed the material, without breaking it, it only turned a little red. The major problem is that light can get ri
27、d of the red color. When the team shone bright light on the molecule, the broken bond was fixed, and the color disappeared. If the bright light keeps the red color from appearing, the materials warning system will be useless. Scientists still have a lot of work to do before the color changing molecu
28、les can be used outside the lab. 28 What does the passage mainly introduce? A. The collapse of an overpass in Zhuzhou, Hunan Province. B. The Sichuan earthquake. C.

The problem caused by bright light will be solved by scientists. D Monitoring the mood of a pet dog could be used as an early warning
32、sign that an elderly owner is struggling to cope, a new report has claimed. Researchers placed movement sensors(探测器 ) on dogs to track their behaviour and identified 17 distinct activities, including chewing, barking, sitting and digging.This allowed them to map the normal behaviour of a healthy, ha
33、ppy dog, which means any changes can be monitored and could indicate an issue with their owner. Nils Hammerla, part of the team from Newcastle University, said, “Humans and dogs have lived together in close relationships for thousands of years, which has led to strong emotional and social mutual bon
34、ds.” “ A dogs physical and emotional dependence on their owner means that their well being is likely to reflect that of their owner. Any changes such as the dog being walked less often, perhaps not being fed regularly, or simply demonstrating “unhappy” behaviour could be an early indicator for famil
35、ies that an older relative needs help. This is the first system of its kind which allows us to remotely monitor a dogs behaviour in its natural setting.” The team of academics, who presented their findings at the 2013 UbiComp conference in Zurich, created a hitech, waterproof(防水的 ) dog collar for th
36、e study. Dr Cas Ladha, who led the study, said：“ A lot of our research is focused on developing intelligent systems that can help older people to live independently for longer. But developing a system that reassures family and carers that an older relative is well without intruding on (侵犯 ) the indi
37、viduals privacy is difficult. This is just the first step but the idea behind this research is that it would allow us to support people without the need for cameras.” A range of dogs was used for the study, as the team needed to map distinct behaviours that correlated between different breeds. 32 Fr
