Dulse（掌状红皮藻）grws alng nrthern, rcky castlines f the Atlantic and Pacific ceans. And its clurful, sft leaves hide an amazing taste. “I think it is a fd f the future.” says Chris Langdn. He has been studying dulse fr mre than ten years at Oregn State University in Prtland. He has fund new ways t grw it faster. It nt nly grws cheaply and easily, but als is rich in prtein（蛋白质）. Thse qualities allw creative cks t bring this unlikely treat t ur favurite restaurants.
Peple need t seek ut new fds because the wrld has s many muths t feed. As f 2015, there are mre than seven billin peple n Earth, and by 2100 that number may duble accrding t the UN.

Large earthquakes culd be identified mnths r even years in advance by finding unique signals, accrding t a new research frm a team f German researchers.
The research suggests mre exact earthquake warning systems require mre lcal and reginal sites that can find undergrund signals. Alng with this, finding secnd faults（断层）after the main rupturing（断裂）fault wuld further increase the exactness f these readings.
T find this ut, the team led by Dr Patricia Martinez-Garzn studied the Kahramanamras earthquake that shk Turkey in early 2023．They fund that there was an increase in the earthshaking event rates and larger energy release starting arund eight mnths befre the earthquakes.
These signals were fund within 65km f the epicentre（震中）. Althugh the main rupture ccurred n a fault line and in an area that was knwn t be the cause f earthquakes. signals befre the event tk place bth n the main and secndary faults, which hadn’t received much attentin frm scientists in the past.
Nw, shrt-term predictin（预测）f earthquake size, time and lcatin is just pssible. The scientists behind this study believe that lng-term finding is seminal t help build ur understanding f earthquakes and future events.
But nt everyne, including Bill McGuire, prfessr at UCL, agrees with hw useful this culd be. “While this is interesting frm a scientific viewpint, it is unlikely that knwing a big earthquake might be n the way within mnths r years really gets us any further frward in preparing fr them,” he says. “The nly useful predictin f future earthquakes is arguably the ne that exactly fixes the lcatin f a cming quake and its timing t within a few weeks, s as t mve peple t a safe place.”
32．Why did Patricia’s team carry ut the study?
A．T find mre exact signals befre earthquakes.
B．T help the Turks in the earthquake-stricken area.
C．T build the mdern earthquake warning system.
D．T attract the attentin f scientists wrldwide.
33．What des the underlined “seminal” in Paragraph 5mean?
A．Wasteful.B．Difficult.C．Annying.D．Imprtant.
34．What des Bill think f the predictin?
A．It will be put int practice sn.B．It culd tell a quake a year in advance.
C．It can buy us time t mve safely.D．It desn’t make any sense in reality.
35．Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A．Scientists Wrk Hard t Figure Out Disasters
B．Hidden Signals Culd Shw Future Earthquakes
C．German Researchers Stand Out in Natural Science
D．A Deadly Earthquake Shk Turkey This Year
