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、D）中，选出最佳选项。【2014模拟调研】 In many American schools the holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.s birthday is used as an opportunity to teach children about his life and legacy. But in too many of those same schools, Black childrens extraordinary talents are still being wasted today. Nearly three-quarters of Black fourth and eighth grade public school students cannot read or compute at grade level.Black students made up only 18 percent of students in public schools in 2009-2010 but were 40 percent of students who received one or more out-of-school suspensions（暂被停学）A Blackpublic school student is suspended every four seconds. Black students are more than twice aslikely to drop out of school as White students. Each school day 763 Black high school students drop out.So I applaud the US. Departments of Education and Justice for their recent action toaddress harmful school discipline policies that push so many thousands of black children out of school each year and into the juvenile（青少年)justice and adult prison pipeline. If the education system is to do its part in replacing it with a cradle to college, career and success pipeline, we must end the current practice where children in the greatest need are suspended from school mostly for nonviolent offenses. These resources, officially known as guidance, will help schools and districts meet their legal responsibility to protect students from discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin as required under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As we recognize the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and so many other important hard-won victories in the Civil Rights Movement this year, we must remember those victories could be lost without meaningful enforcement of the laws advocates fought so hard to win half a century ago. While the guidance does not prohibit schools or districts from using any particularnondiscriminatory policy, it does call into question some policies that have historically excludedBlack students and are of questionable educational value including zero tolerance disciplinepolicies which require mandatory（强制的）consequences for certain infractions（违反），and policies that prevent students from returning to school after completion of a court sentence. Information of the new guidance recommendations is available at this government website for almost every school and district in the country. Check your own school district now to see whether the discipline policy is focused on creating a positive school climate and preventing misbehavior, whether consequences are clear, appropriate and consistent, and whether there is a commitment to fairness in the application of discipline.67. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A. Unsatisfactory situation of Black studentseducation. B Life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. C The percentage of Black students dropping out of school. D. The holiday celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.s birthday.68The guidance issued by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice may A. protect Black children from being suspended for nonviolent offenses B prevent Black children from coming back to school after a court sentence C. push thousands of Black children out of school each year D punish Black children for dropping out of school69. According to the passage, the zero tolerance discipline policies A. have questionable consequences B are prohibited by the guidance C prevent Black children from being absent from school D. were considered discriminatory when they were released70. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Criticism of the Education System B. Steps Forward on School Discipline C Suggestions on the Civil Rights Act D. Victories in the Civil Rights Movement参考答案6770、AAAB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
