Ⅱ.阅读(共15小题;每小题3分，满分45分)
第一节阅读下列短文，掌握其大意，然后从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。
A
Bad drivers in the District could soon get a serious warning sent straight to their cellphones. The city is working to identify drivers with a history of traffic violations, such as speeding and red-light carnet tickets, to send messages alerting them of their history of infractions （违规） while warning of their risks of getting into a fatal crash.
City officials say they hope the pointed messages （定制信息） will deter dangerous road behaviors. "Wu know that there is a subset of drivers that are putting others at serious risk with excessive speeding and red-light running," said Jeff Marootian, director of the city’s Department of Transportation, one of the agencies leading the effort. "We’re hoping that this creative approach can ultimately reduce serious injury and fatality crashes.”
"This is a creative approach that we haven’t tried before, and we think that it is worth the effort," Marootian said. The concept, which D. C. officials say is a first among cities nationwide, is the latest effort to target dangerous drivers in a city where serious and fatal crashes are on the rise. City leaders said evidence shows drivers with multiple traffic violations are more likely to be involved in crashes.
Researchers have studied the relationship between repeat traffic offenders and serious collisions （碰撞）,with some data suggesting a strong connection between the two. But some researchers also have pointed to other factors at play, such as the amount of time the driver spends on the road and exposure to traffic enforcement （强制性）systems.
A team from The Lab led by Muriel E. Bowser, is examining data from the District’s automated traffic enforcement program to predict a driver’s likelihood of being involved in a serious crash. It will create a campaign that could include text messages and mail sent to a sample of high-risk drivers. "We will evaluate whether drivers who receive these messages have fewer red-light violations, speeding violations, and Ultimately, clashes, compared to the group of high-risk drivers who do not receive the messages," according to The Lab.
The program is among the latest road-safety measures with the purpose of cutting the growing number of traffic injuries and fatalities. Although the new messages appear as a warning to higher-risk drivers city officials said the intent is to educate the recipient, Marootian said there is no violation or fine attached to the message and that the campaign is to use data to directly communicate with individual drivers. Some questioned whether the message will work.
6． What does the underlined word “deter” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Prevent. B. Change.
C. Control. D. Handle.
7． What do we know about the approach to sending pointed messages
A. It may put the drivers at serious risk of crashing.
B. It can identify drivers with records of traffic accidents.
C. It will completely reduce serious injury and fatality crashes.
D. It is the newest attempt in response to the rising crashes.
8． What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A. Traffic offenders always cause serious accidents.
B. New drivers bear less blame for serious collisions.
C. Different elements may contribute to serious accidents.
D. Traffic offenders should spend too much time on the road.
9． How do the team from The Lab know whether the approach works
A. By sending messages to the drivers.
B. By comparing the impact of the approach on two groups.
C. By predicting the possibility of a driver’s involvement in a crash.
D. By checking the response of the receivers who get the messages.
10． What is the text mainly about
A. A traffic report. B. A scientific method.
C. A professional survey. D. A teaching program.
B
Round and Round They Go
Space is becoming more crowded. On December 3, a Falcon 9 rocket made by Space X thundered into the sky. On board were 64 small satellites, more than any American company had launched before in one go. They have a variety of uses, from space-based- radar to the monitoring of radio-frequency- emissions.
These objects are part of the latest breed of low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites. This launch is just taste of what is planned. Space X and One Web, a communications firm, plan to launch satellites in their thousands, not hundreds. The pair are set to double the total number of satellites in orbit by 2027.
That promises to change things dramatically on Earth. LEO satellites can bring internet connectivity to places where it is still unavailable or unaffordable. This will also be a lasting source of new demand for the space economy. Morgan Stanley, a bank, projects that the space industry will grow from $350 billion in 2016 to more than $1. I trillion by 2040. New internet satellites will account for a half this increase.
For that to happen, however, three worries must be overcome. Debris(碎片)is the most familiar concern. As long ago as 1978, Donald Kessler, a scientist at NASA, proposed situation in which, when enough satellites were packed into low-Earth orbits, any collision could cause a chain reaction which would eventually destroy all space craft in its orbital plane(平面). The syndrome which bears Mr. Kessler’s name weighs heavily on the minds of executives at the new satellite firms. Debris could cause entire tracts(广阔的一片) of space to be unusable for decades.
Solutions exist. One is to grab malfunction satellites and pull them down into Earth’s atmosphere. Another is to monitor space more intensively for debris; a US Air Force program me called Space Fence is due to start in 2019. But technology is only part of the answer. Rules are needed to govern the safe disposal(清除) of old satellites from low-Earth orbit. The United States’ Federal Communications Commission is revising its regulations with this in mind. Other countries should follow suit.
Cyber-security is a second, long-standing worry. Hackers could take control of a satellite and seal intellectual property, redirect data flows or cause a collision. The satellite industry has been slow to respond to such concerns. But as more of the world’s population comes to rely on the infrastructure of space for access to the internet, the need for action intensifies.
The third issue follows from the first two. If a simple mistake or a cyber-attack can cause a chain reaction which wipes out hundreds of billions of dollars of investment, who is liable Underwriters(保险商) are studying the plans of firms that wish to operate large numbers of satellites. But there is a long way to go before the risks are well understood, let alone priced.
As space becomes more commercialized mind-bending prospects open up: packages moved across the planet in minutes by rocket rather than by plane, equipment sent to other small planets, passengers launched into orbit and beyond. All that and more may come, one day. But such activities would raise the same questions as LEO satellites do. They must be answered before the space economy can truly develop.
11． What can we learn about LEO satellites from the passage
A. They are supposed to limit the space economy.
B. They are expected to increase in large numbers.
C. They are designed to move beyond the Earth as far as possible.
D. They are mainly intended to bring internet connectivity to remote areas.
12． To deal with debris in space, the author suggests________.
A. depending entirely on the modern technology
B. monitoring the movement of spaceships carefully
C. strengthening rules to remove old satellites safely
D. destroying all the satellites with problems instantly
13． What does the underlined word “intensify” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Measure. B. Increase. C. Spread. D. Repeat.
14． Which of the following can be classified as the third worry
A. Lack of satellite regulations. B. Loss of intellectual property.
C. Crisis of confidence in the field. D. Slow response of satellite industry.
15． What is the author’s attitude toward the launch of LEO satellites
A. It should be further confirmed for its ownership.
B. It should be continued because of its advantages.
C. It should be done carefully to avoid potential risks.
D. It should be stopped in face of the space economy.
