When fire can kill within a few breaths, anything which gives him a little extra time is vi- tal. Du Pont has spent years work
34、ing with fire authorities to help give them those extra seconds. The result is a lightweight, fire resistant fibre: NOMEX . A suit of NOMEX III allows firemen to work closer to a fire, and enabled Roll Blum and his colleagues to rescue a little girl. Without it, he wouldnt have been able to reach he
35、r. NOMEX III is now standard wear for the fire brigades of many cities including Frankfurt, London and Milan, providing those vital extra seconds which could last a lifetime. Safety is just one area in which Du Pont is making important breakthroughs. Through Re- search & Development investment in ex
36、cess of $1.3 billion each year and close cooperation with specialists in areas such as industry, agriculture and medicine, Du Pont is bringing technology to life. 64 As a fireman, Roll Blum knows that _. （ A） fire can kill anyone very quickly. （ B） fire does not kill easily. （ C） fire always kills.

39、d-winning subterranean skyscraper was recently completed at the University of Minnesota Designed by David Bennett, the building plunges 110 feet beneath the campus, peeking above the surface a mere 20 feet. You might think it would be dreary inside the building. But a large percentage of the usable
40、space has access to natural light. A “telewindow“ on the roof projects a view of the street via a series of lenses and mirrors. In addition, an array of reflective lenses mounted on a panel on the roof beams sunlight 60 feet down. “Traditional cities have too much aboveground construction,“ says Dav
41、id Bennett. “Green space is lost and the view is disturbed. Future cities will probably be more subterranean than they are today.“ Why build down instead up? Energy conservation is one reason. Says Bennett, “Minnesotas climate varies by a hundred and thirty degrees Fahrenheit, but twenty-five feet u
42、nderground, the temperature remains at about fifty degrees all year round.“ Subterranean construction also permits more visually pleasing land use- for instance the preservation of an unobstructed view of historic landmark. 68 According to Bennetts forecast of the .coming revolution in building desi
43、gn, _. （ A） future buildings will have only 20 ,6 of their structure above the ground. （ B） more future buildings will go subterranean than they do today. （ C） only constructions of historic interest will remain above the ground. （ D） subterranean structures will all go 110 feet into the earth. 69 I
44、t is not boring inside Bennetts new building because _. （ A） there is a telewindow on the roof projecting the outside view. （ B） there are lenses and mirrors on all floors. （ C） there is an array of lenses reflecting sunlight. （ D） both A and C. 70 Why are subterranean buildings good for energy cons
45、ervation? （ A） Because they use solar energy. （ B） Because they dont need central heating. （ C） Because the temperature there remains constant. （ D） Because they dont need air-conditioning. 71 Another advantage in building down rather than up is that _. （ A） surface constructions then can be more ae
46、sthetically planned （ B） historic landmarks then can be better preserved. （ C） there wont be skyscrapers blocking our view. （ D） there will be more green land left untouched. 72 The postal zoning system in the United States began in 1943 with the introduction of the one or two digit zone number. The
47、se numbers identified a delivery station of a metropolitan post office. On July 1,1963, Mr Zip introduced the Zone Improvement Plan. This was a five digit national coding system used to identify each postal delivery section. The first digit identifies one of ten geographical areas, with the second d
48、igit denoting a state, part of a heavily populated state, or two or three less populated states. The third digit designates a major metropolitan postal facility or sectional center, with the fourth and fifth digits picking up the original zone number. The Federal German Post Office became the first
49、to use the current postal code system to speed delivery. The function of a code system is to help in address scanning and the automated processing of mail, and to speed up mail sorting. Approximately 97 percent of all mail delivered in the United States uses the Zip Code. In 1974, the United States Postal Service issued a postage stamp to publicize the numerical system.
