10、NSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1A recent study led by researchers from the National University of Singapore （NUS） has found a clear link between the color of a taxi and its accident rate. An analysis of 32 months of detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue taxis in Si

11、ngapore suggested that yellow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibility （能 见度）of yellow makes it less difficult for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a relationsh

12、ip between the color of a taxi and the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team analysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found that yellow taxis have about 2. 1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.They also studied the economic effect of chan

13、ging the color of the entire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 12,300 taxis in a ratio（比彳列）of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 32.2 fewer accidents will occur per month or 913 few

14、er accidents per year.Assuming an average repair cost of $ 1,000 per car and a downtime of six days, the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual saving of $ 2 million.“We are eager to continue to validate （证实）the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other types of pu

15、blic transport, such as school buses. For example, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against those of other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color for school buses.

20、 ahead of us. Johnny pulled to a stop and I jumped out, ran to the grass edge and grabbed a small, wet, and frightened creature. I wrapped it safely in my woollen hat and insisted that my husband turn back and head for home. We thought it was a baby rabbit because it had long ears and was grayish-br

21、own in colour. Once home, we filled a box with torn-up newspaper and a warm towel.

We rushed to the vet（兽医），who said, Its only a

22、 rabbit, Til put it to sleep. Our response was a very determined, No way !”We found anther vet and told that she was a baby hare. We were told we should continue to keep her in her box for a week and her foot would heal.After her recovery, Bobsy learnt to use the kitty litter tray. She would comb he

23、r long ears with her front paws. The local paper heard about this and came to our house to take her photo and write a story about her.

The plan has

27、been in legal limbo （边缘）for the past year. Yet scientists have now calculated another outcome of the policy: harm to crop yields （产 量）if the plan is cancelled. Along with carbon pollution, coal-fired power plants spew （喷出）pollutants that form what we know as smog. The contribution of smog to increas

28、ed rates of asthma （哮喘）and premature deaths was already known. The new research estimates the extent to which smog, under air-pollution policies-4n place before the Clean Power Plan, would limit production in 2020 of four major crops: corn, cotton, potatoes and soybeans.Led by environmental engineer

29、 Shannon L. Capps, now at Drexel University, the team also sketched the extent to which those crop production losses would reduce under three nationwide scenarios （方案）.One improved the efficiency of individual power plants. Another modeled a policy similar to the Obama plan, setting state CO2 emissi

30、ons goals for the electricity department. A third established a tax on carbon emissions, under which emissions fell the most. But the greatest drop in smog-forming pollutantsand greatest gains in crop yieldscame from policies such as the Clean Power Plan.Researchers calculated how well each scenario

31、 would reduce the potential productivity loss （PPL） of each crop. PPL is a projected value for 2020 and indicates how much crop growth would suffer because of smog. Scenario 2 most closely agrees with results expected from the Clean Power Plan.1、A.To offer clean power,B.To limit CO2 emissions.C.To s

32、low climate change.D.To increase crop production.Whafs the main purpose of The Clean Power Plan?2、A.asthmaB.early deathsC.heart diseaseD.crop production lossThe latest research shows that smog may cause .3、What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A.

33、increased crop yields most.C. Scenario 1 didnt have any effect on crop yields.D. The three scenarios were made at Drexel University.4、Whats the best title of the passage?A. U.S. states restart the Obamas Plan.B. The Clean Power Plan was called off.C. Three scenarios benefit crop yields.D. Smog does

34、harm to peoples health.Text 4Grey clouds move as low as smoke over the treetops at Lolo Pass. The ground is white. The day is June 10. It has been snowing for the past four days in the Bitterroot Mountains. Wayne Fairchild is getting worried about our trek over the Lolo Trail - 95 miles from Lolo Mo

35、ntana to Weippe in Idaho, across the roughest country in the West. Lewis and Clark were nearly defeated 200 years ago by snowstorms on the Lolo. Today Fairchild is nervously checking the weather reports. He has agreed to take me across the toughest, middle section of the trail.When Lewis climbed on

36、top of Lemhi Pass, 140 miles south of Missoula, on August 12, 1805, he was astonished by what was in front of him; high mountain chains still to the West of us with their tops partially covered with snow. Nobody in what was then the US knew the Rocky Mountains existed, with peaks twice as high as an

37、ything in the Appalachians back East.Today their pathway through those mountains holds more attraction than any other ground over which they traveled, for its raw wilderness is an evidence to the character of two cultures: the explorers who braved its hardships and the Native Americans who prize and

38、 conserve the path as a sacred （神圣的）gift. It remains today the same condition as when Lewis and Clark walked it.The Lolo is passable only from July to mid-September. Our luck is holding with the weather, although the snow keeps getting deeper. As we climb to Indian Post Office, the highest point on

39、the trail at 7,033 ft, we have covered 13 miles in soft snow, and we hardly have enough energy to make dinner. After a meal of chicken, I sit on a rock on top of the ridge （山脊）.
