China’s Tianhe-1 has a computing speed of 2,507 trillion(万亿)calculations a second, making it the fastest computer in the world. It is also 40 percent faster than the world’s second fastest supercomputer, Cray XT5 Jaguar, in the US, kept at a national laboratory in Tennessee, according to the New York Times. Jack Dongarra, a University of Tennessee computer scientist, told NYT that the Chinese supercomputer is faster than the existing Number One machine.
Building the fastest supercomputer has become a source of national pride, as these machines are valued for their ability to solve problems in areas like defense, energy and science. These problems are related to national interests. Supercomputing technology is also found in business. Oil and gas companies use supercomputers to find oil and gas.
Obviously, research centers with large supercomputers attract top scientific talents. This adds extra importance to the machines—they’re more than just huge computers.
China’s new supercomputer will be used to speed up greatly scientific calculations, such as hurricane and tsunami modeling, cancer research, car design and even studying stars.
In 2008, two US scientists put together a step-by-step guide on how to build a supercomputer using PlayStation 3 video-game consoles(控制台). Modern supercomputers are built by combining thousands of small computer servers(服务器)and using software to turn them into one large computer. Really, any organization with enough material and technology can create a fast machine.
The Chinese system follows that model by linking thousands upon thousands of computer servers. But the secret behind the system—and the technological achievement—is China’s own networking technology. “That technology was built by them,” Dongarra said. “They are taking supercomputing very seriously and using a lot of time and money.”
“China is still a developing country,” said Sha Chaoqun, manager at Dawning Company which is the leading supercomputer maker in China. “Maybe one day, China’s total computing power can be greater than that of the US, but there is still a long way to go before we get there.”

阅读文本选段,完成下面的题。

  老箍桶匠变得厉害,常在女儿面前哆嗦。眼见他这种老态的拿侬与克罗旭他们,认为是他年纪太大的缘故,甚至担心他有些器官已经衰退。可是到了全家戴孝那天,吃过了晚饭,当惟一知道这老人秘密的公证人在座的时候,老头儿古怪的行为就有了答案。

饭桌收拾完了,门都关严了,他对欧也妮说:

  “好孩子,现在你承继了你母亲啦,咱们中间可有些小小的事得办一办。…一对不对,克罗旭?”

  “对。”

  “难道非赶在今天办不行吗,父亲?”

  “是呀,是呀,小乖乖。我不能让事情搁在那儿牵肠挂肚。你总不至于要我受罪吧。”

  “噢!父亲……”

  “好吧,那么今天晚上一切都得办了。”

  “你要我干什么呢?”

  “乖乖,这可不关我的事。一——克罗旭,你告诉她吧。”

  “小姐,令尊既不愿意把产业分开,也不愿意出卖,更不愿意因为变卖财产,有了现款而付大笔的捐税,所以你跟令尊共有的财产,你得放弃登记……”

  “克罗旭,你这些话保险没有错吗?可以对一个孩子说吗?”

  “让我说呀,葛朗台。”

  “好,好,朋友。你跟我的女儿都不会抢我的家私。——对不对,小乖乖?”

  “可是,克罗旭先生,究竟要我干什么呢?”欧也妮不耐烦地问。

  “哦,你得在这张文书上簦个字,表示你抛弃对令堂的承继权,把你跟令尊共有的财产,全部交给令尊管理,收入归他,光给你保留虚有权……”

  “你对我说的,我一点儿不明白,”欧也妮回答,“把文书给我,告诉我签字应该签在哪儿。”

  葛朗台老头的眼光从文书转到女儿,从女儿转到文书,紧张得脑门上尽是汗,一刻不停地抹着

  “小乖乖,这张文书送去备案的时候要花很多钱。要是对你可怜的母亲,你肯无条件抛弃承继权,把你的前途完全交托给我的话,我觉得更满意。我按月付你一百法郎的大利钱。这样,你爱做多少台弥撒给谁都可以了!……嗯!按月一百法郎,行吗?”

  “你爱怎办就怎办吧,父亲。”

  “小姐,”公证人说,“以我的责任,应当告诉你,这样你自己是一无所有了……”

  “嗨!上帝,”她回答,“那有什么关系!”

  “别多嘴,克罗旭。——一言为定,”葛朗台抓起女儿的手放在自己手中一拍,“欧也妮,你决不翻悔,你是有信用的姑娘,是不是?”

  “噢!父亲……”

  他热烈地、紧紧地拥抱她,使她几乎喘不过气来。

  “得啦,孩子,你给了我生路,我有了命啦;不过这是你把欠我的还了我:咱们两讫了。这才叫做公平交易。人生就是一件交易。我祝福你!你是一个贤德的姑娘,孝顺爸爸的姑娘。你现在爱做什么都可以。”

  “明儿见,克罗旭,”他望着骇呆了的公证人说,“请你招呼法院书记官预备一份抛弃文书,麻烦你给照顾一下。”

  下一天中午时分,声明书签了字,欧也妮自动地抛弃了财产。

1.下列对老箍桶匠为什么常在女儿面前哆嗦的解释恰当的一项是……………(    )     

A.因为上了年纪,器官衰退的缘故。     

B.担心女儿不放弃承继权,而害怕失去财产。     

C.哄骗女儿放弃承继权,故意在女儿面前表演,以引起女儿的同情。     

D.因为失去夫人过度悲伤所致。

2.文中画线处对葛朗台的细节描写刻画他怎样的心理状态?

                                                                                       

3.如何理解文中葛朗台“咱们两讫了。这才叫做公平交易。人生就是一件交易”这个观点? 

                                                                                       

4.欧也妮这个形象对刻画葛朗台起了什么作用?
