　　Introduction to Astronomy is a college class usually filled with excitement and a lot of questions about outer space, like: What are black holes Are there planets out there that are habitable Why is Venus's climate so different from Earth's even though the planets started out so similar
It's perhaps because of this that the course lends itself to discussing the realities of climate change here on Earth.
Rector is one of the founders of Astronomers for Planet Earth, an organization of over 2,000 educators teaching people about climate change through astronomy. This combination makes sense to fellow astronomer Juan Madrid, who has taken one of Rector's workshops aimed at educators.
“As astronomers, we are painfully aware that we have no Planet B,” Madrid says, “and that our planet is the only planet, the only body in the solar system that can sustain our species.” Madrid is a professor at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. He says when the topic of climate change came up in his class, silence would consume the room. Then, he began connecting astronomy concepts to climate change. Like how visible light gets trapped in your car and heats it up on a hot summer day. That is how greenhouse gases act: Gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane (甲烷) trap heat in Earth's atmosphere by radiating the heat back to Earth's surface, warming it like a planet-sized car.
But the lessons in Rector's and Madrid's classrooms don't stop at the stark (严酷的) realities of climate change. They also empower students, discussing the power they have to change the path we are on. “I think that's a very important role that we can serve in helping people transition from just fear and shame to action and optimism,” says Rector.
And that sense of empowerment and optimism has, in turn, inspired Madrid. “I do have hope about all this,” he says. “But I can only have hope when I know that my students and the future generations are well-trained and understand well our challenges ahead.”
1. Why is climate change discussed in the course Introduction to Astronomy
A. Because students will be tested on climate change.
B. Because Venus and Earth were quite similar at the beginning.
C. Because questions about climate change will naturally come up.
D. Because astronomy has to be combined with climate to teach the course effectively.
2. Why did Madrid give the example of a car in his class
A. To show how hot it is in a car.　 B. To explain how the Earth is warmed.
C. To show how polluted the air is.　 D. To explain how we can adapt to the weather.
3. What should be done to deal with climate change according to Madrid
A. Helping people to be powerful.
B. Asking people to stay optimistic.
C. Telling people about the hard reality.
D. Making people informed and prepared.
4. Astronomers for Planet Earth was founded for 　　　.
A. the future of mankind　 B. the achievement of careers
C. the profit of enterprises　 D. the development of science

　　On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm(雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture(水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought,” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes(龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
1. What does the project aim to do
A. Conserve moisture in the soil.　 B. Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C. Forecast disastrous hailstorms.　 D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
2. Who are opposed to the project
A. Farmers in east-central Alberta.　 B. Managers of insurance companies.
C. Provincial government officials.　 D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
3. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999
A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods.
B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
D. To show the link between storms and moisture.
4. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right.
B. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.

　　Any home may be at risk of flooding, even from a heavy rain, but some homes are more susceptible(易受影响的) than others. 1.　　　 Actually not, but keep in mind that you may be able to make some changes outside that will help keep water from coming inside.
Improve site drainage (排水). This can be very helpful if you have a basement that tends to flood after a heavy rain. Building gutters (排水沟) to keep water flowing away from the house is also important. You may face a really complex problem. 2.　　　. They can assess your yard, design a drainage plan, and set up various systems.
Plant trees. It may not sound like a flood-proofing strategy, but you could plant native trees around your property to help absorb excess water. Native plants, not a plant that doesn't grow in the area naturally, are important. 3.　　　. Native plants also tend to be better for the environment.
4.　　　. You may want to design a new road surface that absorbs water more easily. If you're considering replacing a sidewalk, it's certainly worth considering using a material that may reduce your risk of flooding. These new road surface options can also help filter (过滤) out pollutants that ultimately end up in the water supply.
Clean gutters regularly. Everyone knows this, but it's got to be said. Those gutters are there for a reason, to keep rain away from your home. You must keep your gutters clean. 5.　　　.
A. Take a look at your sidewalk
B. Choose proper water-absorbing material
C. You can turn to drainage specialists for help
D. Otherwise, the gutters blocked with leaves become useless
E. How can we make the flood prevention home improvements
F. Do we need to make lots of flood prevention home improvements
G. This is because their roots can go deeper and grab more groundwater

　　The National Weather Service in Des Moines, Iowa, posted early Saturday morning that initial reports indicate at least 10 tornadoes (龙卷风) struck central Iowa in Friday's storms, based on initial damage information.
For Austin Ehlers, a firefighter in Persia, a city about 15 minutes away from Minden, the tornado destroyed his grandfather's home. “He lives just outside of Minden, right in the path that the tornado took,” Ehlers said. “After we cleared everything in Persia, we jumped in the trucks and went to Minden and helped. I found out my grandpa's house was completely gone, and he's basically lost everything.”
Despite Ehlers' grandfather's house being destroyed, his grandfather was uninjured in the tornado, he said. “He told me he just got into the basement and was getting ready to shut the door when all his windows shattered and glass almost hit him in the back,” Ehlers said. “It was close. Real close.”
A tornado touched down just west of Pleasant Hill, just east of Des Moines, sweeping across town, injuring one person and damaging homes. Pleasant Hill Fire Department Chief Jamie Xayavong told reporters at a news conference Saturday that the person's injury was not life-threatening. However,18 damaged homes in the town were no longer inhabitable. The fire chief did not know how strong the tornado was, though it left several other homes with moderate (中等的) or minor damage. She indicated that more damage reports could come in as recovery continues.
Those in the area were in “a life-threatening situation,” the fire chief said. “Flying debris (碎片) may be deadly to those caught without shelter. Mobile homes will be destroyed. Considerable damage to homes, businesses, and vehicles is likely and complete destruction is possible.”
Several of the city's cross streets were completely blocked by emergency crews and tree debris. Traffic seemed to be trying to leave the surrounding neighborhoods, which were without power. At the height of the storm, more than 10,000 customers in downtown Des Moines were without power.
1. What does the underlined word “shattered” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Became very dirty.　 B. Broke into pieces.
C. Were closed up.　 D. Were blown away.
2. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us
A. The path of the tornado.　 B. The damage to the town.

　　Over the last seven years, most states have banned texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel.
Yet the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse. Americans are still texting while driving, as well as using social networks and taking photos. Road accidents, which had fallen for years, are now rising sharply.
That is partly because people are driving more, but Mark Rosekind, the chief of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said distracted(分心) driving was “only increasing, unfortunately.”
“Big change requires big ideas,” he said in a speech last month, referring broadly to the need to improve road safety. So to try to change a distinctly modern behavior, lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back to an old approach: They want to treat distracted driving like drunk driving.
An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer. It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York's hands-free driving laws.
“We need something on the books that can change people's behavior,” said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state's 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, “people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone.”
1. Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers' texting in the US
A. Ineffective.　B. Unnecessary.　C. Inconsistent.　D. Unfair.
2. What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out
A. Where a driver came from.
B. Whether a driver used their phone.
C. How fast a driver was going.
D. When a driver arrived at the scene.
3. What does the underlined word “something” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Advice.　B. Data.　C. Tests.　D. Laws.
4. What is a suitable title for the text
A. To Drive or Not to Drive Think Before You Start
B. Texting and Driving Watch Out for the Textalyzer
C. New York Banning Hand-Held Devices by Drivers
D. The Next Generation Cell Phone:The Textalyzer

　　There have been several incidents in recent years where people died because of unsafe crowd conditions and stampedes (人群的蜂拥), the latest one unfolding in Seoul, South Korea, with at least 159 deaths reported. This may leave some people thinking there's little you can do to survive a stampede. 1.　　　 But crowd-safety experts say there are several strategies that could help you avoid a potentially deadly outcome. Consider these steps below:
The key to staying safe in a crowd begins as soon as you arrive at the location, says Randy Atlas, a safety consultant based in Fort Lauderdale. 2.　　　 It's a piece of common-sense advice that Atlas applies not just at big events, but even when entering almost any room.
If there's a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, your instinct (本能的反应) may be to fight back and push the opposite way. 3.　　　 If you go against the flow, you increase your chances of getting tripped and knocked down. Another risk, according to experts: If you fight the crowd, you will tire yourself out quickly in a situation where energy is needed.
As you move forward with the crowd, it's best to move in a diagonal (对角线的) direction so you can potentially angle your way out of the situation. The goal is to get to the edge of the stampede where it's less likely that you'll end up stuck at a choke point, like a doorway.
4.　　　 Look for a solid structure to stand behind such as a pillar or a wall. Other places to duck: behind a car or even a lamp post.
In many stampede events, people die simply because they are crushed to the point they can't breathe. But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you, almost in a boxer-like position. That could give you some very valuable breathing room—literally. 5.　　
A. Another potential way is to shelter yourself.
B. But that could be a big mistake, Atlas warns.
C. In this case, you don't necessarily have to wait and let time slip by.
D. Namely, to take note of where the nearest exits are.
E. It's a simple pose, but surprisingly effective and possibly life-saving.
F. Other events, such as a Halloween gathering, are likely to turn deadly.
G. Indeed, it's a frightening situation and circumstances may make it impossible to escape.

　　George C. Hale served as the Chief of the Kansas City Fire Department for 21 years. At the end of the 19th century, he enhanced firefighting with his more than 60 patented inventions, including the Hale Water Tower and the automatic fire alarm, and helped bring America's fire departments into the modern era.
In Kansas' early history, fires were common in most homes built of wood and heated with coal. Every second mattered for the crews tasked with putting them out. Hale was a mechanical genius, solving the problems firefighters faced in his era.
Teams of trained horses were used to transport equipment to and from fires from 1860 to 1927. Harnessing(上挽具) the horses was a time-consuming business until Hale invented the swinging horse harness. The harness was suspended from the ceiling of the fire station. When the alarm sounded, the horses moved into place and the harness broke open and dropped into position, making them spring into action with lightning speed.
Hale drilled his team to make certain every moment counted. Demonstrations of their record-speed harness were so successful that major cities demanded to see the Kansas City firefighters in action. The team was even invited to represent the United States as the “American Fire Team” at the International Fire Congress in London in 1893 for an audience with Queen Victoria.
Passionate about seeking new approaches to upgrading firefighting, Hale made numerous inventions, facilitating firefighters' work efficiency. He even hired a circus gymnast to teach firefighters physical fitness. His novel ideas dramatically changed the whole fire service.
In the end, Hale was brought down by politics. In 1902, he was fired owing to his political conflict with the authorities, yet Hale didn't quit his commitment to firefighting. He actively advised departments around the country and sold fire control facilities as far away as Russia. When he died in 1923, the Kansas City Journal called him “one of the greatest fire chiefs in the history of modern firefighting”.
1. What was the advantage of George C. Hale's swinging harness
A. It allowed horses to run faster.　 B. It reduced response time to fire.
C. It made horses more defensive.　 D. It relieved the horses' fear of fire.
2. Why does the author mention the International Fire Congress
A. To indicate the excellence of Hale's team.
B. To compare diverse firefighting techniques.
C. To evaluate the role of the international stage.
D. To convince people of America's efforts in firefighting.
3. What is the author's attitude towards George C. Hale
A. Critical.　B. Sympathetic.　C. Forgiving.　D. Admiring.
4. What is the best title for the text
A. Honors of the Kansas City Fire Department
B. Development of Kansas' Firefighting Cause
C. George C. Hale: A Witness to the Fire Service
D. A Great Contributor to Firefighting: George C. Hale

　　The world is already facing natural disasters of epic proportions as temperatures rise. The only known method able to quickly arrest this temperature rise is climate engineering, which is a set of proposed actions to deliberately alter the climate.
These actions include imitating the cooling effects of large volcanic eruptions by putting large amounts of reflective particles(微粒) in the atmosphere, or making low clouds over the ocean brighter. Both strategies would reflect a small amount of sunlight back to space to cool the planet.
There are many unanswered questions, however, about the effects of intentionally altering the climate. One of the largest concerns for many countries is national security. That doesn't just mean wars; risks to food, energy and water supplies are national security issues.
Besides, a climate engineering project in one country is likely to affect temperature and rainfall in neighboring countries. That could be good or bad for crops, water supplies and flood risk. Once climate engineering is employed, countries may be more likely to blame climate engineering for extreme events such as hurricanes, floods and droughts, regardless of the evidence.
While small experiments have been carried out, nobody has conducted large-scale climate engineering yet. That means that a lot of information about its effects relies on climate models. For now, there are more questions about climate engineering than answers. It's hard to say whether climate engineering would create more conflict, or if it could defuse international tensions by reducing climate change.
But international decisions on climate engineering are likely coming soon. At the United Nations Environment Assembly in 2024, African countries called for a postponement of climate engineering, urging all precautions. Other nations, including the United States, pressed for a formal scientific group to study the risks and benefits before making any decisions.
Climate engineering could be part of a reasonable solution to climate change. But it also carries risks. Put simply, climate engineering is a technology that can't be ignored, but more research is needed so policymakers can make informed decisions.
1. What does the underlined word “arrest” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Force.　B. Cease.　C. Adopt.　D. Match.
2. What do we know about climate engineering
A. It aims at reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
B. It reflects a small amount of sunlight back to the earth.
C. It includes actions that copy the natural cooling effects.
D. It mainly uses reflective particles to create brighter clouds.
3. What has led to concerns about climate engineering
A. Climate models.　 B. Weather conditions.
C. Unidentified effects.　 D. Geographical locations.
4. What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs
A. Progress has been made in international cooperation.
B. A precaution is a better solution than climate engineering.
C. Different regions will embrace climate engineering altogether.
D. Follow-up studies are required to carry out climate engineering.

　　Introduction to Astronomy is a college class usually filled with excitement and a lot of questions about outer space, like: What are black holes Are there planets out there that are habitable Why is Venus's climate so different from Earth's even though the planets started out so similar
It's perhaps because of this that the course lends itself to discussing the realities of climate change here on Earth.
Rector is one of the founders of Astronomers for Planet Earth, an organization of over 2,000 educators teaching people about climate change through astronomy. This combination makes sense to fellow astronomer Juan Madrid, who has taken one of Rector's workshops aimed at educators.
“As astronomers, we are painfully aware that we have no Planet B,” Madrid says, “and that our planet is the only planet, the only body in the solar system that can sustain our species.” Madrid is a professor at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. He says when the topic of climate change came up in his class, silence would consume the room. Then, he began connecting astronomy concepts to climate change. Like how visible light gets trapped in your car and heats it up on a hot summer day. That is how greenhouse gases act: Gases like carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane (甲烷) trap heat in Earth's atmosphere by radiating the heat back to Earth's surface, warming it like a planet-sized car.
But the lessons in Rector's and Madrid's classrooms don't stop at the stark (严酷的) realities of climate change. They also empower students, discussing the power they have to change the path we are on. “I think that's a very important role that we can serve in helping people transition from just fear and shame to action and optimism,” says Rector.
And that sense of empowerment and optimism has, in turn, inspired Madrid. “I do have hope about all this,” he says. “But I can only have hope when I know that my students and the future generations are well-trained and understand well our challenges ahead.”
1. Why is climate change discussed in the course Introduction to Astronomy
A. Because students will be tested on climate change.
B. Because Venus and Earth were quite similar at the beginning.
C. Because questions about climate change will naturally come up.
D. Because astronomy has to be combined with climate to teach the course effectively.
2. Why did Madrid give the example of a car in his class
A. To show how hot it is in a car.　 B. To explain how the Earth is warmed.
C. To show how polluted the air is.　 D. To explain how we can adapt to the weather.
3. What should be done to deal with climate change according to Madrid
A. Helping people to be powerful.
B. Asking people to stay optimistic.
C. Telling people about the hard reality.
D. Making people informed and prepared.
4. Astronomers for Planet Earth was founded for 　　　.

　　On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm(雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary's southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture(水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought,” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes(龙卷风) form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “it would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
1. What does the project aim to do
A. Conserve moisture in the soil.　 B. Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C. Forecast disastrous hailstorms.　 D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
2. Who are opposed to the project
A. Farmers in east-central Alberta.　 B. Managers of insurance companies.
C. Provincial government officials.　 D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
3. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999
A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods.
B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
D. To show the link between storms and moisture.
4. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right.
B. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.

　　Any home may be at risk of flooding, even from a heavy rain, but some homes are more susceptible(易受影响的) than others. 1.　　　 Actually not, but keep in mind that you may be able to make some changes outside that will help keep water from coming inside.
Improve site drainage (排水). This can be very helpful if you have a basement that tends to flood after a heavy rain. Building gutters (排水沟) to keep water flowing away from the house is also important. You may face a really complex problem. 2.　　　. They can assess your yard, design a drainage plan, and set up various systems.
Plant trees. It may not sound like a flood-proofing strategy, but you could plant native trees around your property to help absorb excess water. Native plants, not a plant that doesn't grow in the area naturally, are important. 3.　　　. Native plants also tend to be better for the environment.
4.　　　. You may want to design a new road surface that absorbs water more easily. If you're considering replacing a sidewalk, it's certainly worth considering using a material that may reduce your risk of flooding. These new road surface options can also help filter (过滤) out pollutants that ultimately end up in the water supply.
Clean gutters regularly. Everyone knows this, but it's got to be said. Those gutters are there for a reason, to keep rain away from your home. You must keep your gutters clean. 5.　　　.
A. Take a look at your sidewalk
B. Choose proper water-absorbing material
C. You can turn to drainage specialists for help
D. Otherwise, the gutters blocked with leaves become useless
E. How can we make the flood prevention home improvements
F. Do we need to make lots of flood prevention home improvements

　　The National Weather Service in Des Moines, Iowa, posted early Saturday morning that initial reports indicate at least 10 tornadoes (龙卷风) struck central Iowa in Friday's storms, based on initial damage information.
For Austin Ehlers, a firefighter in Persia, a city about 15 minutes away from Minden, the tornado destroyed his grandfather's home. “He lives just outside of Minden, right in the path that the tornado took,” Ehlers said. “After we cleared everything in Persia, we jumped in the trucks and went to Minden and helped. I found out my grandpa's house was completely gone, and he's basically lost everything.”
Despite Ehlers' grandfather's house being destroyed, his grandfather was uninjured in the tornado, he said. “He told me he just got into the basement and was getting ready to shut the door when all his windows shattered and glass almost hit him in the back,” Ehlers said. “It was close. Real close.”
A tornado touched down just west of Pleasant Hill, just east of Des Moines, sweeping across town, injuring one person and damaging homes. Pleasant Hill Fire Department Chief Jamie Xayavong told reporters at a news conference Saturday that the person's injury was not life-threatening. However,18 damaged homes in the town were no longer inhabitable. The fire chief did not know how strong the tornado was, though it left several other homes with moderate (中等的) or minor damage. She indicated that more damage reports could come in as recovery continues.
Those in the area were in “a life-threatening situation,” the fire chief said. “Flying debris (碎片) may be deadly to those caught without shelter. Mobile homes will be destroyed. Considerable damage to homes, businesses, and vehicles is likely and complete destruction is possible.”
Several of the city's cross streets were completely blocked by emergency crews and tree debris. Traffic seemed to be trying to leave the surrounding neighborhoods, which were without power. At the height of the storm, more than 10,000 customers in downtown Des Moines were without power.
1. What does the underlined word “shattered” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Became very dirty.　 B. Broke into pieces.
C. Were closed up.　 D. Were blown away.

　　Over the last seven years, most states have banned texting by drivers, and public service campaigns have tried a wide range of methods to persuade people to put down their phones when they are behind the wheel.
Yet the problem, by just about any measure, appears to be getting worse. Americans are still texting while driving, as well as using social networks and taking photos. Road accidents, which had fallen for years, are now rising sharply.
That is partly because people are driving more, but Mark Rosekind, the chief of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said distracted(分心) driving was “only increasing, unfortunately.”
“Big change requires big ideas,” he said in a speech last month, referring broadly to the need to improve road safety. So to try to change a distinctly modern behavior, lawmakers and public health experts are reaching back to an old approach: They want to treat distracted driving like drunk driving.
An idea from lawmakers in New York is to give police officers a new device called the Textalyzer. It would work like this: An officer arriving at the scene of a crash could ask for the phones of the drivers and use the Textalyzer to check in the operating system for recent activity. The technology could determine whether a driver had just texted, emailed or done anything else that is not allowed under New York's hands-free driving laws.
“We need something on the books that can change people's behavior,” said Félix W. Ortiz, who pushed for the state's 2001 ban on hand-held devices by drivers. If the Textalyzer bill becomes law, he said, “people are going to be more afraid to put their hands on the cell phone.”
1. Which of the following best describes the ban on drivers' texting in the US
A. Ineffective.　B. Unnecessary.　C. Inconsistent.　D. Unfair.
2. What can the Textalyzer help a police officer find out
A. Where a driver came from.
B. Whether a driver used their phone.
C. How fast a driver was going.
D. When a driver arrived at the scene.
3. What does the underlined word “something” in the last paragraph refer to
A. Advice.　B. Data.　C. Tests.　D. Laws.
4. What is a suitable title for the text
A. To Drive or Not to Drive Think Before You Start
B. Texting and Driving Watch Out for the Textalyzer
C. New York Banning Hand-Held Devices by Drivers
D. The Next Generation Cell Phone:The Textalyzer

　　There have been several incidents in recent years where people died because of unsafe crowd conditions and stampedes (人群的蜂拥), the latest one unfolding in Seoul, South Korea, with at least 159 deaths reported. This may leave some people thinking there's little you can do to survive a stampede. 1.　　　 But crowd-safety experts say there are several strategies that could help you avoid a potentially deadly outcome. Consider these steps below:
The key to staying safe in a crowd begins as soon as you arrive at the location, says Randy Atlas, a safety consultant based in Fort Lauderdale. 2.　　　 It's a piece of common-sense advice that Atlas applies not just at big events, but even when entering almost any room.
If there's a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, your instinct (本能的反应) may be to fight back and push the opposite way. 3.　　　 If you go against the flow, you increase your chances of getting tripped and knocked down. Another risk, according to experts: If you fight the crowd, you will tire yourself out quickly in a situation where energy is needed.
As you move forward with the crowd, it's best to move in a diagonal (对角线的) direction so you can potentially angle your way out of the situation. The goal is to get to the edge of the stampede where it's less likely that you'll end up stuck at a choke point, like a doorway.
4.　　　 Look for a solid structure to stand behind such as a pillar or a wall. Other places to duck: behind a car or even a lamp post.
In many stampede events, people die simply because they are crushed to the point they can't breathe. But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you, almost in a boxer-like position. That could give you some very valuable breathing room—literally. 5.　　
A. Another potential way is to shelter yourself.
B. But that could be a big mistake, Atlas warns.
C. In this case, you don't necessarily have to wait and let time slip by.
D. Namely, to take note of where the nearest exits are.
E. It's a simple pose, but surprisingly effective and possibly life-saving.
F. Other events, such as a Halloween gathering, are likely to turn deadly.
G. Indeed, it's a frightening situation and circumstances may make it impossible to escape.

　　George C. Hale served as the Chief of the Kansas City Fire Department for 21 years. At the end of the 19th century, he enhanced firefighting with his more than 60 patented inventions, including the Hale Water Tower and the automatic fire alarm, and helped bring America's fire departments into the modern era.
In Kansas' early history, fires were common in most homes built of wood and heated with coal. Every second mattered for the crews tasked with putting them out. Hale was a mechanical genius, solving the problems firefighters faced in his era.
Teams of trained horses were used to transport equipment to and from fires from 1860 to 1927. Harnessing(上挽具) the horses was a time-consuming business until Hale invented the swinging horse harness. The harness was suspended from the ceiling of the fire station. When the alarm sounded, the horses moved into place and the harness broke open and dropped into position, making them spring into action with lightning speed.
Hale drilled his team to make certain every moment counted. Demonstrations of their record-speed harness were so successful that major cities demanded to see the Kansas City firefighters in action. The team was even invited to represent the United States as the “American Fire Team” at the International Fire Congress in London in 1893 for an audience with Queen Victoria.
Passionate about seeking new approaches to upgrading firefighting, Hale made numerous inventions, facilitating firefighters' work efficiency. He even hired a circus gymnast to teach firefighters physical fitness. His novel ideas dramatically changed the whole fire service.
In the end, Hale was brought down by politics. In 1902, he was fired owing to his political conflict with the authorities, yet Hale didn't quit his commitment to firefighting. He actively advised departments around the country and sold fire control facilities as far away as Russia. When he died in 1923, the Kansas City Journal called him “one of the greatest fire chiefs in the history of modern firefighting”.
1. What was the advantage of George C. Hale's swinging harness
A. It allowed horses to run faster.　 B. It reduced response time to fire.
C. It made horses more defensive.　 D. It relieved the horses' fear of fire.
2. Why does the author mention the International Fire Congress
A. To indicate the excellence of Hale's team.
B. To compare diverse firefighting techniques.
C. To evaluate the role of the international stage.
D. To convince people of America's efforts in firefighting.
3. What is the author's attitude towards George C. Hale
A. Critical.　B. Sympathetic.　C. Forgiving.　D. Admiring.
4. What is the best title for the text
A. Honors of the Kansas City Fire Department
B. Development of Kansas' Firefighting Cause
C. George C. Hale: A Witness to the Fire Service

　　The world is already facing natural disasters of epic proportions as temperatures rise. The only known method able to quickly arrest this temperature rise is climate engineering, which is a set of proposed actions to deliberately alter the climate.
These actions include imitating the cooling effects of large volcanic eruptions by putting large amounts of reflective particles(微粒) in the atmosphere, or making low clouds over the ocean brighter. Both strategies would reflect a small amount of sunlight back to space to cool the planet.
There are many unanswered questions, however, about the effects of intentionally altering the climate. One of the largest concerns for many countries is national security. That doesn't just mean wars; risks to food, energy and water supplies are national security issues.
Besides, a climate engineering project in one country is likely to affect temperature and rainfall in neighboring countries. That could be good or bad for crops, water supplies and flood risk. Once climate engineering is employed, countries may be more likely to blame climate engineering for extreme events such as hurricanes, floods and droughts, regardless of the evidence.
While small experiments have been carried out, nobody has conducted large-scale climate engineering yet. That means that a lot of information about its effects relies on climate models. For now, there are more questions about climate engineering than answers. It's hard to say whether climate engineering would create more conflict, or if it could defuse international tensions by reducing climate change.
But international decisions on climate engineering are likely coming soon. At the United Nations Environment Assembly in 2024, African countries called for a postponement of climate engineering, urging all precautions. Other nations, including the United States, pressed for a formal scientific group to study the risks and benefits before making any decisions.
Climate engineering could be part of a reasonable solution to climate change. But it also carries risks. Put simply, climate engineering is a technology that can't be ignored, but more research is needed so policymakers can make informed decisions.
1. What does the underlined word “arrest” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Force.　B. Cease.　C. Adopt.　D. Match.
2. What do we know about climate engineering
A. It aims at reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
B. It reflects a small amount of sunlight back to the earth.
C. It includes actions that copy the natural cooling effects.
D. It mainly uses reflective particles to create brighter clouds.
3. What has led to concerns about climate engineering
A. Climate models.　 B. Weather conditions.
C. Unidentified effects.　 D. Geographical locations.
4. What does the author imply in the last two paragraphs
A. Progress has been made in international cooperation.
B. A precaution is a better solution than climate engineering.
C. Different regions will embrace climate engineering altogether.
D. Follow-up studies are required to carry out climate engineering.
