摘要:20.A.recall B.refocus C.rebuild D.reunite 2 Some of the largest.longest.and most beautiful bridges in the world are suspension bridges.Although suspension bridges look impressively complicated.their design is relatively simple.Giant cables are strung between two towers that are anchored to land on either side of a waterway or land gorge.The road hangs from the giant cables by suspension cables.or suspenders.Suspenders are made by weaving together thousands of thick steel strands. Even though these superstructures are built to last.many of American suspension bridges are getting old.The Golden Gate Bridge is slightly more than 70 years old.The Brooklyn Bridge in New York City celebrated its 125th birthday in 2008.Many of these superstructures are in need of super repairs. Engineers at Columbia University in New York City have set out to create a way to detect the lifespan of a suspension cable electronically.They are testing a system in which tiny sensors are embedded inside cable strands to monitor a suspender’s condition around the clock. Engineer Raimondo Betti and his team at Columbia built a lab last December.They will use heat lamps to simulate the temperature changes a suspender would have to endure through changing seasons.They will shower the test cable with water and road salt to see how it withstands rain and snow conditions.In addition to blasting the suspender with severe weather conditions.the engineers are also subjecting the cable to the same kind of weight of a suspender on a high­traffic bridge would have to bear.The team will record data from the sensors over the next six months.After that.they will open the cable and see the extent to which the data they’ve recorded matches the actual damage to the cable. Betti says more accurate information on cable corrosion will be of great use to cities and states.Bridge owners will be able to make more informed decisions on maintenance and repair plans for bridges.

  For most of us, success in school has very little to do with actual learning.The most important thing you have to master is how to play the grade(分数)games.  1   you think out your own strategies(策略)for getting high marks, everything   2   up to you.You may be   3   to a well-known college or win a scholarship,   4   to mention gaining the admiration(赞美)of your teachers and parents.

  But not everyone does well on tests.At   5  , it can almost turn into a funny game of hit and   6  .Some students haven't mastered the   7   of test taking, some fear under pressure(压力)or need more time or another way to   8   what they know.

  Being a school   9   means learning the ins and outs of the school system.Then you have to work things to your   10  .Lots of students are already doing it without even   11   it.Getting high grades also   12   on knowing each teacher's little idiosyncrasies(特性).For example, I   13   had to take an examination, so one day in   14   classes I talked to the teacher I had wanted to.I told him how I'd heard what a really   15   teacher he was, and how disappointed I was that I'd have to graduate   16   having been in his class.I lied.It   17  .I had counted on the chemistry teacher being human, and he   18  .I wasn't proud of myself for what I did.But I considered it   19   of the grade game we're pushed into   20   to aim at going to the best schools.
