2、ian method of diverting water could supply up to 40,000 Olympic-size swimming pools worth of water to Lima each year. It is one 1 of how ancient methods could support existing modern ones in countries without enough water. Man-made reservoirs store rainwater and water overflow for use during dries t
3、imes. But reservoirs are costly, require years to plan and can still 2 to meet water needs. Perus capital, Lima, depends on water from rivers high in the Andes Mountains. It takes only a few days for water to flow down to the city. So when the dry season begins in the mountains, the water supply qui
4、ckly disappears. The city 3 this with modern structures such as man-made reservoirs. These reservoirs are not the only solution, 4 . Over a thousand years ago, indigenous people developed another way to solve water problems.Water diverted, 5 .The 1,400-year-old system is designed to increase the wat
5、er supply during the dry season by diverting and slowing water as it travels down the mountains. This 6 -based method is made of special canals that guide water from its source to a series of water bodies and hillsides. The water goes 7 into the ground, then flows downhill through the soil and 8 in
6、water bodies near the community. Its aim was to increase the waters travel time from days to months in order to provide water throughout the day season. The researchers 9 how much the system slowed the flow of water by injecting special dye in the highlands and noting when it reappeared in water bod
7、ies. The dyed water started to 10 two weeks later and continued flowing for eight months a huge 11 over the hours or days it would normally take. 12 increase in supply.The researchers next considered how using a larger version of the system could help Lima. They combined what they learned in Huamant
8、anga with the knowledge of physical 13 of Limas surroundings. The resulting estimates say the system could increase Limas dry-season water supply by 7.5 percent overall and up to 33 percent at the start of the dry season.The system is also 14 sound. Ochoa-Tocachi, a researcher, estimated that buildi
9、ng canals similar to those in Huamantanga would cost 10 times less than building a reservoir of the same size. He also said former highland societies in other parts of the world had methods for diverting and slowing water flow. And, they could use these methods today to support their 15 modern metho

12、People with genetic syndromes sometimes have revealing facial features but using them to make a quick and cheap diagnosis can be 16 given there are hundreds of possible conditions they may have. A new neural network that analyses photographs of faces can help doctors 17 the possibilities.Yaron Gurov
13、ich at biotechnology firm FDNA in Boston and his team built neural network to look at the overall impression of faces and 18 a list of the 10 genetic syndromes a person is most likely to have.They 19 the neural network, called DeepGestalt,on17,000 images correctly labelled to match more than 200 gen
14、etic syndromes. The team then asked the Al to 20 potential genetic disorders from a further 502 photos of people with such conditions. It included the correct answer among its list of 10 responses 91 per cent of the time.Gurovich and his team also 21 the neural networks ability to distinguish betwee
15、n the different genetic mutations(变异) that can lead to the same syndrome. They used photographs of people with Noonan syndrome, which can result from mutations in any one of five genes. DeepGestalt correctly identified the genetic source of the physical appearance 64 per cent of the time. Its clearl
16、y not 22 but its still much better than humans are at trying to do this.As the system makes its assessments, the facial regions that were most helpful in the determination are 23 and made available for doctors to view. This helps them to understand the relationships between genetic make-up and physi
17、cal appearance.The fact that the diagnosis is based on a simple photograph raises questions about 24 . If faces can reveal details about genetics, then employers and insurance providers could, in principle, secretly use such techniques to 25 against people who have a high probability of having certa

The real value here is that for some of these ultra-rare diseases, the 28 of diagnosis can be many, many years. This kind of technology can help n
19、arrow down the search space and then 29 the diagnosis through checking genetic markers. For some diseases, it will cut down the time to diagnosis dramatically. For others, it could perhaps add means of finding other people with the disease and, 30 help find new treatments or cures.16AconvincingBtric

They generally travel by themselves. The smilodon, on the other hand, probably 51 in groups. Tigers run
29、 fast while 52 their prey (猎物). But the smilodon, with much 53 tails than todays tigers, did not have the balance to run at 54 speeds. It probably caught its prey by 55 quietly until an animal came near. Then, the smilodon would 56 its prey.Another main difference between todays tiger and the smilod

These teeth grew up to nearly 18 cm long and were easily 59 and damaged. The smilodon probably used the teeth to bite into 60 parts of its preys body, such as its stomach.
31、 A modem tigers teeth are much smaller, but they are 61 .The smilodon lived in North and South America from about two million years ago until about ten thousand years ago. Tigers, 62 , still exist today and live in eastern and southeastern Asia. No one knows for sure why the smilodon 63 . However, s

41、punishingDcheatingPassage6 The designer, Charles Frederick Worth (1825-95), was the first to sew labels into the clothes that he created. Because of this and his international fame, Worth is generally considered to be the father of 86 , which started in the late 19th century. Before then, making clo
42、thes was mainly done by 87 dressmakers whose clothes were influenced by what people were wearing at the French royal court. Worth, originally from England, moved to France in 1846, where he enjoyed considerable success with the nobility. Since then, there have been even greater successes for other d
43、esigners, such as Chanel and Armani and those 88 the younger, trendier market, for example, Tommy Hilfiger. Currently the fashion industry relies more on mass-market sales than on 89 designs. Some well-known designers have even teamed up with international high street shops who want to add a luxury
44、product to their range. 90 , the London branch of H&M, a clothing company from Stockholm, has started selling cut-price clothes by high-fashion designers. Recently, hundreds of people 91 outside for up to 12 hours to buy clothes designed by Lanvin! Some camped there overnight, even though at the tim
45、e England was experiencing an extremely cold winter. Is this 92 to labelled goods really worth all the trouble?An article in The Economist suggests labelled clothes really do 93 the wearers. It quotes research from Tilburg University, in the Netherland, which explains that such clothes bring status
46、and even job recommendations, but only when the label is 94 ! The universitys first research experiment involved photos of a man wearing a polo shirt. The photos were digitally 95 so that one shirt had no logo, another had a luxury-designer logo and the third had a non-luxury logo. On a five-point s
47、cale for status, the luxury designer logo rated 3.5, no logo rated 2.91 and the non-luxury logo came last, rated 2.84. It seems it may be better to have no logo at all than to have the 96 logo! In another experiment, people watched one of two videos of a job interview of the same man. In one, his sh
48、irt had a luxury logo on it, in the other it didnt. The man with the logo was rated more 97 the job and even received a recommendation for a 9% higher salary!The research concluded that like a peacocks tail, designer labels are seen as 98 of superior status: the peacock with the best tail gets all t
49、he girls. But while a peacock cant make his tail look more attractive, it seems humans can 99 their status by using design labels.
