CA villa (别墅) designed to resist earthquakes with “self-healing” cracks in its walls, thanks to nanotechnology (纳米技术) applications with self-healing polymers (聚合物), is to be built on a Greek mountainside. The villa’s walls will include special particles that turn into a liquid when squeezed (压榨) under pressure, flow into cracks, and then harden to form a solid material. The NanoManufacturing Institute (NMI), based in Leeds University, will play a key role in an EU project to construct the home by December 2010. The project, called “Intelligent Safe and Secure Buildings” (ISSB) is funded under the EU’s Sixth Framework program. This potentially life-saving scheme is led by German building manufacturer Knauf. The villa will be built in Amphilochia, in western Greece, where Knauf currently runs a manufacturing plant. If the experiment is successful, more tremor-resistant（防震）homes could be built in earthquake zones across the globe. NMI chief executive Professor Terry Wilkins said, “What we’re trying to achieve here is very exciting. We’re looking to use polymers in much tougher situations than ever before on a larger scale.” Monitors contained in the villa’s walls will be able to collect vast amounts of data about the building over time. Wireless sensors will record any stresses and vibrations, as well as temperature, humidity and gas levels. The walls are to be built from new load-bearing steel frames and high-strength gypsum（石膏）board. Prof Wilkins said, “If there are any problems, the intelligent sensor network will be able to alert residents immediately so they have time to escape.” If whole groups of houses are so constructed, we could use a larger network of sensors to get even more information. “If the house falls down, we have got hand-held devices that can be used over the rubble to pick out where the embedded（嵌入的）sensors are hidden to get some information about how the villa collapsed.” Also, we can get information about anyone who may be around, so it potentially becomes a tool for rescue. 66. The aim of the passage is to ________.A. report a piece of interesting news B. promote tremor-resistant homesC. inform us of the nanotechnology development D. tell us about a tremor-resistant home 67. The villa can resist earthquakes because _______.A. it will be built on a special placeB. the cracks in its walls can be healed by the polymers C. the special particles can make its walls strongerD. the intelligent sensor network can tell people where there is a crack68. If the tremor-resistant home falls down, _______.A. rescue work can be done more quickly and accuratelyB. the intelligent sensor network will stop workingC. no one can be hurt in the earthquakeD. a warning signal will be given to other residents69. What Prof Wilkins said suggests that _______.A. he is doubtful about the projectB. he thinks the tremor-resistant home is perfectly designedC. he is confident in the tremor-resistant homeD. the tremor-resistant home still needs to be tested in a real situation70. It can be inferred from the passage that tremor-resistant home _______.A. is still being tried out B. is already under construction C. has been in wide use D. will be put into wide use soon
A simple piece of clothesline hangs between some environmentally friendly Americans
and their neighbors．
On one side stand those who see clothes dryers(干衣机)as a waste oi energy and a
major polluter of the environment．As a result，they are turning to clotheslines as part of the
“what—l—can—do environmentalism(环境保护主义)．”On the Other side a．re people who
are against drying clothes outside，arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant tn look at。They
have Dersuaded Homeowners Associations (HOAs) access the U．S．to ban outdoor
clotheslines，because clothesline drying also tends 10 lower home value in the neighborhood．
This has led to a’Right—to--Dry Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect
people’s right tO use clotheslines．So far，only three states have laws to protect clotheslines．
Right—Lo—Dry supporters argue that there should be more．
Matt Reck，37，is the kind of eco—conscious(有生态意识的)person who feeds his trees
with halhwal er and reuses water drops from his air conditloners to water plants．His family
also uses a clothesline．But on July 9，2007，the itOA in Wake Forest，Norlh Ca rolina．told
him that a dissatisfied neighbour had telephoned them about his clothesline．The Recks paid
no attention tO the warning and still dri'ed their clothes on a line in the yard．“Many people
say they are environmentally friendly but they don’t take matters in their own hands。”says
Reck．The local HoA has decided not tO take any action，unless more neighbors co~le 10
them．
North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to
do．But HOAs and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor
neighborhoods．They worry that if buyers think their future neighbors can’t even afford
dryers，housing prices will fall．
Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary，and in view of global warming，
that idea needs to change．As they say，“The clothesline is beautiful”．Hanging clothes
outside should be encouraged．We a11 have to do at least something to slow down the process
of glohal warming．
