Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers

11、 on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1First two hours , now three hours-this is how far in advance authorities are recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight , at least at some major U.S. airports with increasingly massive security lines.Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming

12、security procedures in return for increased safety. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804,which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea ,provides another tragic reminder of why. But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too little security in return undermines public support for

13、 the process. And it should: Wasted time is a drag on Americans economic and private lives, not to mention infuriating.Last year, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons-both fake and real-past airport security

14、 nearly every time they tried .Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving Chicagos OHare International .It is not yet clear how much more effective airline security has become-but the lines are obvious.Part of the issue is that the government d

15、id not anticipate the steep increase in airline travel , so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line. Part of the issue is that airports have only so much room for screening lanes. Another factor may be that more people are trying to overpack their carry-on bags to avoid checked-bagga

16、ge fees, though the airlines strongly dispute this.There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire: Enroll more people in the PreCheck program. PreCheck is supposed to be a win-win for travelers and the TSA. Passengers who pass a background check ar

17、e eligible to use expedited screening lanes. This allows the TSA wants to enroll 25 million people in PreCheck.It has not gotten anywhere close to that, and one big reason is sticker shock. Passengers must pay $85 every five years to process their background checks. Since the beginning, this price t

18、ag has been PreChecks fatal flaw. Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level. But Congress should look into doing so directly, by helping to finance PreCheck enrollment or to cut costs in other ways.The TSA cannot continue diverting resources into underused PreCheck lanes whil

19、e most of the traveling public suffers in unnecessary lines. It is long past time to make the program work.21. the crash of Egypt Air Flight 804 is mentioned toA stress the urgency to strengthen security worldwide.B highlight the necessity of upgrading major US airports.C explain Americans tolerance

20、 of current security checks.D emphasis the importance of privacy protection.【答案】C explain Americans tolerance of current security checks.22. which of the following contributions to long waits at major airport?A New restrictions on carry-on bags.B The declining efficiency of the TSA.C An increase in

21、the number of travelers.D Frequent unexpected secret checks.【答案】C An increase in the number of travelers.23.The word expedited (Line 4, Para.5) is closest in meaning toA faster.B quieter.C wider.D cheaper.【答案】A faster.24. One problem with the PreCheck program isA A dramatic reduction of its scale.B

22、Its wrongly-directed implementation.C The governments reluctance to back it.D An unreasonable price for enrollment.【答案】D An unreasonable price for enrollment.25. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A Less Screening for More SafetyB PreCheck-a Belated SolutionC Getting Stuck i

23、n Security LinesD Underused PreCheck Lanes【答案】B PreCheck-a Belated SolutionText 2The ancient Hawaiians were astronomers, wrote Queen Liliuokalani, Hawaiis last reigning monarch, in 1897. Star watchers were among the most esteemed members of Hawaiian society. Sadly, all is not well with astronomy in

24、Hawaii today. Protests have erupted over construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope(TMT), a giant observatory that promises to revolutionize humanitys view of the cosmos.At issue is the TMTs planned location on Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano worshiped by some Hawaiians as the piko , that connects the

25、Hawaiian Islands to the heavens. But Mauna Kea is also home to some of the worlds most powerful telescopes. Rested in the Pacific Ocean, Mauna Keas peak rises above the bulk of our planets dense atmosphere, where conditions allow telescopes to obtain images of unsurpassed clarity.Opposition to teles

26、copes on Mauna Kea is nothing new. A small but vocal group of Hawaiians and environments have long viewed their presence as disrespect for sacred land and a painful reminder of the occupation of what was once a sovereign nation.Some blame for the current controversy belongs to astronomers. In their

27、eagerness to build bigger telescopes, they forgot that science is the only way of understanding the world. They did not always prioritize the protection of Mauna Keas fragile ecosystems or its holiness to the islands inhabitants. Hawaiian culture is not a relic of the past; it is a living culture un

28、dergoing a renaissance today.Yet science has a cultural history, too, with roots going back to the dawn of civilization. The same curiosity to find what lies beyond the horizon that first brought early Polynesians to Hawaiis shores inspires astronomers today to explore the heavens. Calls to disassem

29、ble all telescopes on Mauna Kea or to ban future development there ignore the reality that astronomy and Hawaiian culture both seek to answer big questions about who we are, where we come from and where we are going. Perhaps that is why we explore the starry skies, as if answering a primal calling t

30、o know ourselves and our true ancestral homes.The astronomy community is making compromises to change its use of Mauna Kea. The TMT site was chosen to minimize the telescopes visibility around the island and to avoid archaeological and environmental impact. To limit the number of telescopes on Mauna

31、 Kea, old ones will be removed at the end of their lifetimes and their sites returned to a natural state. There is no reason why everyone cannot be welcomed on Mauna Kea to embrace their cultural heritage and to study the stars.26. Queen Liliuokalanis remark in Paragraph 1 indicatesA its conservativ

32、e view on the historical role of astronomy.B the importance of astronomy in ancient Hawaiian society.C the regrettable decline of astronomy in ancient times.D her appreciation of star watchers feats in her time.【答案】B the importance of astronomy in ancient Hawaiian society.27. Mauna Kea is deemed as

33、an ideal astronomical site due toA its geographical featuresB its protective surroundings.C its religious implications.D its existing infrastructure.【答案】A its geographical features28. The construction of the TMT is opposed by some locals partly becauseA it may risk ruining their intellectual life.B

34、it reminds them of a humiliating history.C their culture will lose a chance of revival.D they fear losing control of Mauna Kea.【答案】B it reminds them of a humiliating history.29. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that progress in todays astronomyA is fulfilling the dreams of ancient Hawaiians.B hel

35、ps spread Hawaiian culture across the world.C may uncover the origin of Hawaiian culture.D will eventually soften Hawaiians hostility.【答案】C may uncover the origin of Hawaiian culture.30. The authors attitude toward choosing Mauna Kea as the TMT site is one ofA severe criticism.B passive acceptance.C

36、 slight hesitancy.D full approval.【答案】D full approval.Text 3Robert F. Kennedy once said that a countrys GDP measures everything except that which makes life worthwhile. With Britain voting to leave the European Union, and GDP already predicted to slow as a result, it is now a timely moment to assess

37、 what he was referring to.The question of GDP and its usefulness has annoyed policymakers for over half a century. Many argue that it is a flawed concept. It measures things that do not matter and misses things that do. By most recent measures, the UKs GDP has been the envy of the Western world, wit

38、h record low unemployment and high growth figures. If everything was going so well, then why did over 17 million people vote for Brexit, despite the warnings about what it could do to their countrys economic prospects?A recent annual study of countries and their ability to convert growth into well-b

39、eing sheds some light on that question. Across the 163 countries measured, the UK is one of the poorest performers in ensuring that economic growth is translated into meaningful improvements for its citizens. Rather than just focusing on GDP, over 40 different sets of criteria from health, education

40、 and civil society engagement have been measured to get a more rounded assessment of how countries are performing.While all of these countries face their own challenges , there are a number of consistent themes . Yes , there has been a budding economic recovery since the 2008 global crash , but in k

41、ey indicators in areas such as health and education , major economies have continued to decline . Yet this isnt the case with all countries . Some relatively poor European countries have seen huge improvements across measures including civil society , income equality and the environment.This is a le

42、sson that rich countries can learn : When GDP is no longer regarded as the sole measure of a countrys success, the world looks very different .So, what Kennedy was referring to was that while GDP has been the most common method for measuring the economic activity of nations , as a measure , it is no

43、 longer enough . It does not include important factors such as environmental quality or education outcomes - all things that contribute to a persons sense of well-being.The sharp hit to growth predicted around the world and in the UK could lead to a decline in the everyday services we depend on for

44、our well-being and for growth . But policymakers who refocus efforts on improving well-being rather than simply worrying about GDP figures could avoid the forecasted doom and may even see progress .31.Robert F. Kennedy is cited because heApraised the UK for its GDP.Bidentified GDP with happiness .Cm
