  New York-a team of engineers with expertise in high-rise design, collapse and blasts prevention will   1   why the damaged World Trade Center(WTC)buildings and part of the Pentagon broke into pieces after September 11's   2   attack, they will determine   3   future buildings can be designed to protect more lives   4   disasters.

  A   5   of well-known engineers and members of the American Society of Civil Engineers will begin analyzing videotapes and photographs of the attack and the   6   collapse of the two   7   towers as soon as the rescue efforts come to an end, W.Gene Corely, senior vice president of Construction Technologies Laboratories Ince, said.

  In addition to studying the crashes, the   8   and the collapses, the team will analyze modifications made at both sites-the World Trade Center's repair after the 1993 basement bombing there and the Pentagon's   9   renovation.

  The team also will analyze the size, speed and fuel load of the speeding jets and their   10   as they cut through the buildings.

  “From this, we   11   we will be able to determine some things that might be done differently if the building were designed to resist this type of attack and make some   12   related to   13   construction of buildings that might be subjected to this sort of attack, ”Corely said.

  The WTC towers built in the late 1960s and early 1970s, were designed to withstand the impact of a Boeing 707 jetliner.But those plans did not   l4   in the effect of the fuel explosion   15   created fireballs at the giant towers.

  Based   16   a preliminary review of the events, Corely said the WTC steel-framed towers collapsed not so much because of the impact but   17   the fire that followed.As the   18   from the fire rose, the steel weakened.

  Although the towers once were the tallest buildings   19  , their height was not a factor in their collapse, but the fire, Corely said.A shorter building,   20  , would likely have resulted in fewer deaths.

(4)

固定搭配.

(5)

(12)

advice為不可數(shù)名詞.suggestion此處指“建議的內(nèi)容”,是可數(shù)名詞.

better此處是動詞,意為improve.如:The government hopes to better the conditions of the peasants.政府希望能改善農(nóng)民的條件.

This was one of my experiences    1   .When I was in my 30s,I was working for a large international company which had its head office in London. I was working in the   2   department.

The company had a training center which was just outside London. Different courses were held there throughout    3    and I    4    go on one training course a year. These usually started    5    a Sunday evening and lasted six days.

Once I was    6    a week’s training course with about forty    7    sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was    8    behind the bar asked me a curious question.“I hope you don’t    9   my asking,” she said, “but I’ve been     10    about it all week. Have you got a sister   11     Mary?” The woman’s name was June. And she used to do various jobs at the training center’s worked in the office, she organized all the food and drink for the center and she worked in the bar at lunch time and in the evening.

My answer    12    June’s question was “Yes”,and June said,“I thought    13   .I met her last September when she was organizing a course here.” At that time, my sister was working for   14    company but in a different part of the country. That was    15    she came to be at the training center.
      16    surprised me was how June guessed we were brother and sister. Three things made it even more   17    .First, she had met my sister six months before she met me. Second, they have about sixty new people every week at the training center’s about one thousand five hundred people had    18    the center in those six months.
