calls“mayday,mayday,mayday”to tell that his plane is indanger of crashing to the ground.Mayday is an emergency code word.It is usedaround the world in voice communications.Frederick Stanley Mockford created the mayday call signal in the 1920s.Mockfordwas a radio officer at Croydon Airport In London.He was asked to think of a word thatcould be used in an emergency.The word had to be easily understood by all pilots andairport workers.Since much of the traffic at the time was between Croydon and LeBourget Airport in Paris,he proposed(提议)the word“mayday”from the French word“maider”.The phrase“Venez maider”means“(you)come to help me”.Today,it is used to signal a life-threatening emergency by many groups,such aspolice forces,pilots,firefighters,and transportation organizations.The call is alwaysgiven three times in a row to prevent mistaking it for some similar-sounding phraseunder noisy conditions.The recommended mayday call includes the word mayday spoken three times,followed by the help-seeking objects name,also spoken three times,then mayday andthe name again.Key information,including the position,nature of the emergency,assistance required and the number of people involved,should follow.A typicalmessage might be:MAYDAY,MAYDAY,MAYDAY,this is Nonsuch,Nonsuch,Nonsuch.MAYDAY,Nonsuch.Position 54 degrees 25 minutes North,016 degrees 33 minutes West.The boat is on fireand sinking.We require immediate assistance.4 people on board are taking a lifeboat.OVER.Making a false mayday call is a criminal act in many countries because of thedanger to the rescuers lives that a search-and-rescue operation can create,as well asthe very high costs of such rescue efforts.For example,making a false emergency callin the US is a crime,which can lead to up to six years imprisonment and a fine of US$250,000.60.Why did Mockford choose the word“mayday”as the call signal?A.Much of the traffic then involved French.B.French was a popular language in the world.C.It is easy to say and understand.D.He wanted to do something to prevent accidents.61.From the passage,we can infer that“Nonsuch”is probably _.A.an emergency code wordB.the name of a pilotC.a message-sending radioD.the name of a boat in trouble62.According to the passage,the writer warns that _.A.traveling by plane or by ship is full of dangerB.everyone should know what a mayday call includesC.the improper use of a mayday call should be avoidedD.in the US,you had better make no emergency call63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Mockford was good at speaking both English and French.B.Without being repeated,the word mayday can be misunderstood.C.A mayday call should include as much information as possible.D.Making a false mayday call will lead to six years imprisonment.CBANGKOK The tiny island nation of Tuvalu has promised to do its part forclimate change by developing its economy entirely from renewable(可再生的)sourcesof energy by 2020.The South Pacific nation of 12,000 people is part of a movement of countries andcities which have promised to go climate neutral.Since February 2008,10 nationsincluding New Zealand,Pakistan,Iceland and Costa Rica have promised to reduce theiremissions(释放)of greenhouse gases as part of a goal of reaching zero emissions inthe next decade.None of these promises alone is expected to make a significant difference in thefight to cut heat-trapping gases.But the moves can inspire bigger emitters(排放者)likethe United States to take further steps to limit their carbon footprints.Climate scientists have urged rich countries to reduce emissions from 2005 levelsby between 25 percent and 40 percent by 2020 to avoid the worst effect of warming.For its part,Tuvalu hopes to replace the fossil fuels that are imported by ship with solarenergy and wind power soon.Tuvalu already emits almost no greenhouse gases.But because of climate change,many South Pacific islands see worsening flooding.The country is just 10 square milesin size,with most of its land less than a meter above sea level.So far,Tuvalu has installed(安装)a 40-kilowatt solar energy system with the helpof Japans Kansai Electric Power Co.and Tokyo Electric Power Company.The Tuvalugovernment is working to expand the$410,000 project from 40 to 60 kilowatts,andwill extend solar power to outer islands.“We thank those countries who are helping Tuvalu reduce its carbon footprint,”Public Utilities and Industries Minister Kausea Natano said.“And we look forward tothe day when our nation offers an example to all powered entirely by naturalresources such as the sun and the wind.”64.What is the main energy source in Tuvalu at present?A.Solar energy.B.Wind power.C.Imported fossil fuels.D.Local fossil fuels.65.What can we learn from the passage?A.It is impossible for Tuvalu to realize its goal.B.The world will see zero emissions in ten years.C.Tuvalu imports technology to reduce emissions.D.Big countries havent started to reduce emissions.66.The best title for
