Ⅲ. 阅读理解

Dr.  Shu Chien, professor of Bioengineering at UC San Diego，is one of the old guards of bioengineering, who really helped start the field.

In the mid-1960s, it became obvious to Dr. Shu Chien that the field of medicine could be greatly improved by applying engineering concepts to biological functions.

His following research at the intersection of the two fields led to the publication of 450 scientific articles and had fed biotechnology companies with discoveries on how to build new human tissue and blood vessels.

“He is a pioneer in an entirely new endeavor, bioengineering, which has now become a major field, ” said Dr. Kenneth Chien, “I don’t think many people realized how rich this field would be. ”

Shu Chien’s groundbreaking(开创的，创新的) work has earned him exclusive membership in all three national academies— the National Academy of Engineering, the Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Sciences—a feat accomplished by only eight other people.

To San Diegans, Chien’s work may be best visible closer to home. Over the past 12 years, he helped create the University of California San Diego’s department of biomedical engineering and elevate it to one of the top three ranked bioengineering departments in the nation.

“He allows everyone to speak their hearts and opinions and makes everyone feel that they’ve been heard and that the discussion cannot be personal, ” said Amy Sung, a bioengineering professor who followed Chien from Columbia University to UCSD 19 years ago.

He is a giant（伟人、巨人） in a field that is still growing and proving its value in the fields of drug discovery, medical devices and diagnostics.

1. What do ‘the two fields’ in the third paragraph refer to?

D. Medicine and biology.

2. According to the passage, how many people have earned membership of all three national academies?

A. One can make a lot of money in this field.

B. One can get a lot of memberships in this field.

C. This field will be very valuable.

D. This field will become a major field in the future.

News report,

Witnesses said one woman who jumped appeared to be aiming for bushes on the ground, but missed and landed on concrete. Witnesses said the other three were desperately trying to climb to another room amid roaring flames when they fell to the concrete paving.

The fire broke out in Room 602 of the seven-floor dormitory at the school’s downtown campus on Zhongshan Road West, just after 6 a. m. .

After the Tears, Let’s Focus on Dorm Safety

It was reported that on November 14, a tragedy occurred in a girls’ dormitory of the Shanghai Business School. Four girls jumped from their sixth-floor balcony in an attempt to escape a fire, and lost their lives.

People expressed their sympathy after hearing the tragedy. In my opinion, this incident reflects a lack of awareness of safety procedures. Both the college and the students are responsible for it. On one hand, we students should learn to deal with an emergency calmly in daily life. If there   is a crisis, we are supposed to remain calm, ensure we are safe and then call for help.

On the other hand, it is the school authorities’ obligation to take safety measures for students living on campus. Furthermore, more lectures should be held on safety to enhance students’ awareness of the issue.

In short, to avoid similar tragedies, both sides must work together.
