But still there is a danger that grows every year. Airliners get larger and larger. Some airplanes can carry over 300 passengers. And the air itself becomes more and more crowded. If one large airliner struck into another in midair, 600 lives could be lost.From the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb and when to come down.The air traffic controllers around a busy airport like London, Heathrow may deal with 2,500 planes a day. Not all of them actually land at the airport. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part could cause a terrible accident.Recently such a disaster almost happened. Two large jets were flying towards the airport. One was carrying 69 passengers from Toronto, the other 176 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar（雷达） screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb. But he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from the second plane the first plane turned towards it. Fifteen seconds later, it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.（1）The air traffic controllers of an airport _.A . control all the planes flying near the airportB . give orders to planes leaving the airportC . only deal with the planes that want to land thereD . are allowed to handle 250 planes a day（2）The danger of air crashes（碰撞） grows every year because _.A . airliners are getting larger and air traffic is becoming heavierB . a pilot does not always hear a controllers orderC . a controller is likely to make more and more mistakesD . airports can hardly serve the growing number of airplanes（3）The example in the passage is to show that _.A . air traffic controllers are often carelessB . air traffic controllers should pay much attention to avoiding accidentsC . it is difficult for airplanes to avoid terrible accidentsD . two planes should not fly too close to each other13. （8分） This year is a leap year. Leap years are years with 366 days, instead of the usual 365. Leap years are necessary because the actual length of a year is 365.242 days, not 365 days, as commonly stated. Basically, leap years come every 4 years, and most years that can be evenly(平均地) divided by 4 have 366 days. This extra day is added to the calendar on February 29th which is known as a leap day. Why leap is used here? Leap means jump.However, there is one exception to the leap year rule about century years. Century years are only considered as leap years if they are evenly divided by 400. Therefore, 1900 was not a leap year, but 2000 was a leap year.A person who is born on February 29th may be called a leapling or a leap year baby. In non-leap years, some leaplings celebrate(庆祝) their birthday on either February 28th or March 1st. In England and Wales or in Hong Kong, a person born on February 29th, 1996, will have legally(法律上) reached 18 years old on March 1st, 2014. If he or she was born in the United States, Taiwan or New Zealand, his or her legally birthday will come a day earlier.There is a popular custom in some countries that a woman may ask a man to marry her on February 29th. If the man refuses, he then has to give the woman money or buy her a dress.Since leap days are special days, people nowadays want to do something different within the 24 extra hours.Big jumps are the most popular ones.Some salaried(领薪水的) workers want to get pay for their extra days work. But in my opinion, if you know why there is a leap day, you will get the answer to this problem.（1）The next leap year is.A . 2014B . 2016 C . 2018（2）American boy Toby is a leapling. Next year he will probably to have his birthday party on.A . February 28thB . February 29thC . March 1st（3）Many people like to have a big jump on leap days probably because.A . its a custom B . they are leaplingsC . leap means jump（4）We can learn from the passage that.A . 2100 will not be a leap yearB . every year leaplings celebrate their birthday on either February 28thor March 1stC . it is necessary to pay the salaried workers for the leap days work14. （10分）阅读理解 Many people say that they are working too many hours. They dont have enough time to relax or stay with their family.Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,259 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies dont pay over time. Their workers dont get more pay for more work. These people think its their duty to wore more hours. Some are afraid of losing their job if they dont work more hours. Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get from four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers used all their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying, All work and no play makes Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy. If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.（1）A Japanese worker works _ more hours a year than a French one. A . 513B . 1,646C . 2,159（2）The word extra in Paragraph 3 means _.
