The rock of the earths crust (地壳) may have a fault, a kind o
7、f break in the surface. The blocks which make up the earth move, and sometimes this may cause the sides of the fault to move up and down or lengthways (纵向地) against each other. When one piece of rock starts to rub on another with great force, a lot of energy is used. This energy is changed into vibr
8、ations (振动) and it is these vibrations that we reef as an earthquake.

17、aph, watch TV, search the web, jet across the Pacific Ocean, talk on a cell phone (手机). The innovators who left us these things had to find the way to success through a maze(错综复杂) of wrong turn.2 We have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edisons success in heating in
18、 thin line to white, hot heat for 14 hours in his lab in New Jersey, US. He did that on October 22,1879 and followed up a month later by keeping a thread of common cardboard alight (点亮着的) in an airless space for 45 hours. Three years later he went on to light up half a square mile of downtown Manhat
19、tan, even though only one of the six power plants in his design worked when he turned it on, on September 4, 1882.3 “Many of lifes failures,“ the supreme innovator said,“ are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. “ Before that magical moment in October 1879, Ed
20、ison had worked out no fewer than 3,000 theories about electric light. But in only two cases did his experiments work.4 No one likes failure, but the smart innovators learn from it. Mark Gumz, the head of the camera maker Olympus America Inc. , attributes some of the companys successes in technology
21、 to understanding failure. His popular phrase is, “You only fail when you quit“.5 Over two centuries, the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence. That is another way of saying they had the emotional ability to keep up what they were doing. Walt Disney, the founder of Disneyland,
22、was so broke after a succession of financial failures that he was left shoeless in his office because he could not afford the US $ 1.50 to get his shoes from the repair shop. Pioneering Car maker Henry Ford failed with one company and was forced out of another before he developed the Model T Car.6 F
23、ailure is harder to bear in todays open, accelerated world. Hardly any innovation works the first time. But an impatient society and the media want instant success. When American music and movie master David Geffen had a difficult time, a critic said nastily that the only difference between Geffen R
24、ecords (Geffens company)and the Titanic (the ship that went down) was that the Titanic had better music. Actually, it wasnt.

28、s production. Companies in the US are developing the technology needed to “clone“ chickens on a massive scale. Once a chicken with desirable traits has been bred or genetically engineered, tens of thousands of eggs, which will hatch into identical copies, could roll off the production lines every ho
29、ur. Billions of clones could be produced each year to supply chicken farms with birds that all grow at the same rate, have the same amount of meat and taste the same.This, at least, is the vision of the USs National Institute of Science and Technology, which has given Origen Therapeutics of Burlinga
30、me, California, and Embrex of North Carolina $ 4.7 million to help fund research. The prospect has alarmed animal welfare groups, who fear it could increase the suffering of farm birds.Thats unlikely to put off the poultry industry, however, which wants disease resistant birds that grow faster on le
31、ss food. “Producers would like the same meat quantity but to use reduced inputs to get there. “ says Mike Fitzgerald of Origen. To meet this demand, Origen aims to “create an animal that is effectively a clone“, he says. Normal cloning doesnt work in birds because eggs cant be removed and implanted.
32、 Instead, the company is trying to bulk-grow embryonic stem cells taken from fertilized eggs as soon as theyre laid. “The trick is to culture the cells without them starting to distinguish, so they remain pluripotent. “ says Fitzgerald.Using a long-established technique, these donor cells will then
33、be injected into the embryo of a freshly laid, fertilized recipient egg, forming a chick that is a “chimera“. Strictly speaking, a chimera isnt a clone, because it contains cells from both donor and recipient. But Fitzgerald says it will be enough if, 95 percent of a chickens body develops from dono
34、r cells. “In the poultry world, it doesnt matter if its not 100 percent. “ he says.Another challenge for Origen is to scale up production. To do this, it has teamed up with Embrex, which produces machines that can inject vaccines into up to 50,000 eggs an hour. Embrex is now trying to modify the mac
35、hines to locate the embryo and inject the cells into precisely the right spot without killing it.In future, Origen imagines freezing stem cells from different strains of chicken. If orders come in for a particular strain, millions of eggs could be produced in months or even weeks. At present, mainta
36、ining all the varieties the market might call for is too expensive for breeders, and it takes years to bread enough chickens to produce the billions of eggs that farmers need.（分数：15.00）(1).Which statement is the best description of the new era of factory farming according to the first paragraph?（分数：
37、3.00）A.Eggs are all genetically engineered.B.Thousands of eggs are produced every hour.C.Cloned chickens are bulk-produced with the same growth rate, weight and taste.D.Identical eggs can be hatched on the production lines.(2).Which institution has offered $ 4.7 million to fund the research?（分数：3.00

Mike Fitzgerald means

40、nts about Origen and Embrex is correct according to the fifth paragraph?（分数：3.00）A.Origen and Embrex will jointly invent machines to increase production.B.Origen wants to purchase an efficient donor cells injecting machine.C.Origen has joined hands with Embrex in producing cell-injecting machines.D.
41、Origen is the leading company in producing embryo-locating machines.(5).The technology of freezing stem cells from different strains of chicken can do all the following EXCEPT that _（分数：3.00）A.farmers can order certain strains of chicken only.B.Origen can supply all the strains of chicken the market
42、 might need.C.chicken farmers order certain strains of chicken for economic reasons.D.chicken farmers can be supplied with whatever strain they need.B第二篇/BKobe BryantAfter 10 seasons wearing the No. 8 on his back, Kobe Bryant will become No. 24 next season. The reason for the surprising decision by
43、the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.Bryant wore No. 24 when he was in early high school, but he changed to No. 33 in his senior year. He switched to No. 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996, and has not been changed since.Bryant has refused to expla
44、in the decision until the end of the play-offs (季后赛). So guessing Bryants motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists(专栏作家).There are all kinds of speculations. Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start. He has often been criticized for p
45、laying to benefit himself and not the team as a whole. Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan. Jordan was famous for his No. 23 jersey(运动衫). Some, such as NBA Sport columnist Michael Venter, argue that it is “all about money“. Bryant will make more money by selling new
46、 jerseys to his fans.Some speculations are more about fun. For example, there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard(非常执著的) fan of the popular TV drama“24“.All this talk has turned the number change into a major issue. It seems that there is a lot of fuss (大惊小怪) over something that shoul
47、d be pretty simple.Jersey numbers have their own special significance in American sports, especially basketball. Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career. When a great player retires, his team will honor him by retiring hi
48、s number.To some extent, the jersey is the player, and the player is the jersey. Thus, when you see the famous No. 23 for the Chicago Bulls, you immediately think about Michael Jordan. A No. 32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille ONeal, and the Houston Rockets No. 11 belongs only to Ya
49、o Ming.Lots of stories are behind players jersey number selections. Jordan said that he chose No. 23 because it was roughly half of 45Jordans elder brother wore the No. 45 in college. Yao Ming once revealed that the No. 11 stands for two people in lovemeaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.（分数：15.00）(1).Which team has Bryan
