Surprisingly, each of these carries the same risk, which is very low. However, what about flying compared to working in the chemical industry? Unfortunately, the former is 65 times riskier than the latter! In fact the accident rate of workers in the chemical industry is less than that of almost any of human activity, and almost as safe as staying at home. The trouble with the chemical industry is that when things go wrong they often cause death to those living nearby. It is this that chemical accidents so newsworthy. Fortunately, they are extremely rare. The most famous ones happened at Texas City (1947), Flixborough (1974), Seveso (1976), Pemex (1984) and Bhopal (1984). Some of these are always in the minds of the people even though the loss of life was small. No one died at Seveso, and only 28 workers at Flixborough. The worst accident of all was Bhopal, where up to 3,000 were killed. The Texas City explosion of fertilizer killed 552. The Pemex fire at a storage plant for natural gas in the suburbs of Mexico City took 542 lives, just a month before the unfortunate event at Bhopal. Some experts have discussed these accidents and used each accident to illustrate a particular danger. Thus the Texas City was caused by tons of ammonium nitrate, which is safe unless stored in a great quantity. The Flixborough fireball was the fault of management, which took risks to keep production going during essential repairs. The Seveso accident shows what happens if the local authorities lack knowledge of the danger on their doorstep. When the poisonous gas drifted over the town, local leaders were incapable of taking effective action. The Pemex fire was made worse by an overloaded site in an overcrowded suburb. The fire set off a chain reaction of exploding storage tanks. Yet, by a miracle, the two largest tanks did not explode. Had these caught fire, then 3,000 strong rescue team and fire fighters would all have died. 1. According to the passage, the chemical accident that caused by the fault of management happened at _. A. Texas city B. Flixborough C. Seveso D. Mexico City2. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Working at the office is safer than staying at home. B. Travelling to work on public transport is safer than working at the office. C. Staying at home is safer than working in the chemical industry. D.

A. natural gas, which can easily catch fire B. fertilizer, which cant be stored in a great quantity C. poisonous substance, which cant be used in overcrowded areas D. fuel, which is stored in large tanks 4. From the discussion among some experts we may conclude that _. A. to avoid any accident we should not repair the facilities in chemical industry B. the local authorities should not be concerned with the production of thechemical industry C. all these accidents could have been avoided or controlled if effective measureshad been taken D. natural gas stored in very large tanks is always safe【参考答案】14、BDBC阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C,和D）中选出最佳选项。【2014一模】Many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someones life?Today I looked up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave” and also “a person who is good and noble”.That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. And I remembered what happened to me years ago.After my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become heroes.【小题1】The main idea of the passage is _.A. why the writer should be a hero B. what a hero exactly isC. whether the writer is a hero D. that everyone is a hero【小题2】Why did the woman call the writer a hero at the end of the call?A.

The action of sending the card.C. The fact that the sender helped the writer.D. The fact that the sender was a friend of the writer.【小题4】 Whats the writers attitude to “brave people”? A. neutral B. supportive C. objective D. irony【小题1】主旨题：从全篇文章和第二段的句子，That got me thinking about what a hero is.

Similar changes in behavior have been observed in polar bears and yellow-eyed penguins in areas visited by colorists are producing smaller babies.Conservationists are now calling for more research into the effect of ecotourism on animals and say the industry must be developed carefully.
