Despite strict laws and heavy fines, traffic in Greece still remains dangerous. This is particularly the case in large cities     1     traffic is greatly affected by many factors. Here is some advice for drivers in Greece.

Road planning is     2     (enormous) complex (复杂的) in large Greek cities. There are many dangerous junctions (交叉路口). Athens is known     3     the most difficult city for drivers. It is hard to find the right way, so new drivers may easily get     4     (confuse) there.

In many large cities, drivers can feel the lack of usual road signs. Such signs as “winding road” are quite rare. When     5     (approach) a crossroads, drivers should always slow down.       

Crossroads     6     (equip) with traffic lights are another dangerous place. Do not start moving immediately after the green light appears.

Parking space should be selected with     7     (careful). Drivers should also consider that parking     8     (prevent) in the central part of some large cities.

Roads in the country are the most terrible roads for foreign drivers. In spite of the speed limit of 80 km/h, local drivers rarely move at     9     speed below 120 km/h.

While moving, drivers are not allowed     10     (speak) on the phone as they need to monitor traffic and other drivers.

“China is expected put a hyperloop (超级高铁) into     1     (operate) by 2035,” South China

Moring Post     2     (report) on a Sunday morning several months ago. The 150-kilometre-long tunnel is aimed to allow maglev (磁悬浮) trains to travel     3     a speed of up to,000 km/h. Several major cities have been considered for the huge project, and the first hyperloop train line is likely     4     (build) between Shanghai and Hangzhou.

As we know, China has already been a leader in high-speed rail technology. An assessment team,    5     (lead) by a senior engineer in Beijing, thinksinvesting in the hyperloop technology can help maintain China’s position as a     6     (globe) leader in transport innovation. So    7     investment will have a unique historical significance.

China’s high-speed rail service,     8     had reached 42,000 kilometers, ranked first in the world by the end of 2022. With     9     (it) characteristics including the high security level, low energy consumption, noise and pollution levels, the hyperloop will travel ten times     10     (fast) than traditional high-speed trains and as five times as commercial passenger planes. The hyperloop’s prospects surely deserve the expectation of all Chinese people.

In the wake of a 6. 2-magnitude (震级) earthquake,     1     is vital that lines of communication remain open, and the temporary post stations in Jishishan county, the epicenter (震中) of the earthquake that struck on Dec 18, have played     2     crucial role in ensuring packages get in and out.

Ma Hailong, 32-year-old resident from Dahejia town in Jishishan county,     3     (lose) his home in the quake, but despite this, he was excited that he was able to send and receive packages just three days     4     the tragedy struck. He initially thought that postal services, especially     5     (delivery), would be suspended after the earthquake, which occurred just seconds before midnight on Dec 18.

Temporary post offices were set up in nine quake-hit towns and are now open for all postal services. In addition, six postal routes in the county remain open, and 24 delivery routes have resurned     6     (operate). The Dahejia post office reopened in a tent on Dec 20,     7     (receive) more than 2, 300 pieces of mail in two days,     8     were all delivered to residents in the quake-affected area. The temporary post office has also opened a green channel     9     financial services, handling the delivery of mail from courier (货运) companies such as SF Express in the disaster area.

To facilitate donations from various sectors of society, Gansu branches of China Post and the Postal Savings Bank of China     10     (open) special pathways for the earthquake-stricken area in Jishishan.

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences Research Institute have cultivated the world’s first crucian carp (鲫鱼) without tiny bones,     1     (mark)a major technical breakthrough in aquaculture genetic breeding.

The crucian carp is     2     tough-skinned, bony freshwater fish mainly     3     (eat) in Eastern Europe and Asia. However, its tiny bones make it difficult to eat and process on a large scale. Genetically removing the tiny bones could open up extensive commercial     4     (opportunity).

“In 2020, we successfully cultivated the first generation of crucian carp without tiny bones with a success rate of 12.96 percent. The second generation in 2021     5     (have) a success rate of 19 percent,” said Kuang Youyi, a researcher on the team. “    6     the beginning of 2022, we released around 20,000 fish of the third generation in our test base and began large-scale breeding.”

The new variety,     7     was created using gene editing, ends a global debate for more than 50 years on       8     tiny bones can be reproduced, according to the institute.

“People will no longer have to pick out tiny fish bones,” said the team. “This can     9     (significant)change the global fish diet culture and habits and profoundly impact the     10     (consume) of aquatic products in the future.”

Copy and paste schools

How will geography affect your future? For some children around the world, the environment they grow up     1     has a huge impact on their lives. For example, children in Madagascar now stand to benefit from the large amount of sunlight their country receives. One non-governmental organization (NGO) is building 3D-printed schools     2     run on solar power.

Maggie Grout was just 15 years old when she founded her NGO-Thinking Huts. Now 22, she is celebrating the     3     (complete) of her NGO’s first 3D-printed school in Madagascar.

She     4     (lead) the entire process from start to finish, working with a professor from the university supporting her NGO. First, they scouted (搜寻) several locations and ultimately decided on Madagascar due to     5     need for schools and ability to provide     6     renewable energy source. Then Grout drew a design layout for the school considering many elements.

Next, Grout had to find the right architect and 3D printing firm for the job. Using an architecture-scale 3D printer, the school was built layer by layer form the ground up. This method of construction decreases the need for concrete (混凝土)     7     up to 50 percent and emits less CO₂,     8     (mean) the school can be completed with in a week.     9     (increase) sustainability, the process included sourcing local materials to build doors, windows and roof.

What’s more, the NGO employed a local labor force and trained them to use a 3D printer so that they can build more schools on their own in the future. She plans to print another school in a     10     (remote) part of the country where one in five children don’t have the chance to attend primary school.
