positively 结束 Which is safer staying at home traveling to work on public transport 6 or working at the office 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 9 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 City 7 10 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 Working in the chemical industry is safer than traveling by air 11 From the passage we know that ammonium nitrate is a kind of A natural gas which can easily catch fire B fertilizer which can t be stored in a great quantity C poisonous substance which can t be used in overcrowded areas D fuel which is stored in large tanks 12 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 the chemical industry C all these accidents could have been avoided or controlled if effective measures had been taken D natural gas stored in very large tanks is always safe 参考答案 BDBC 结束 B How often do you travel by plane How much electricity do you use These days everyone is worried about the size of their carbon footprint In order to reduce global warming we need to make our carbon footprints smaller But how much CO2 are we responsible for A new book by Mike Berners Lee a leading expert in carbon footprint 8 might be able to help How Bad are Bananas The Carbon Footprint of Everything looks at the different things we do and buy and calculates the amount of CO2 all of the following created the ingredients parts of a mixture the electricity used in the brewery the equipment the travel and commuting 交换 of the beer and the packaging It s amazing how many different things need to be included in each calculation And it s frightening how much carbon dioxide everything produces But all of this can help us decide which beer to drink From Berners Lee s calculations it s clear that a pint 568ml of locally brewed beer has a smaller carbon footprint than a bottle of imported beer This is because the imported beer has been transported from far away and it uses more packaging The local beer only produces 300g of CO2 but the imported beer produces 900g So one pint of local beer is better for the environment than three cans of cheap foreign lager 淡啤酒 from the supermarket Berners Lee has even calculated the carbon footprint of cycling to work Nothing is more environmentally friendly than riding a bike surely Well it depends on what you ve had to eat before To ride a bike we need energy and for energy we need food So if we eat a banana and then ride a kilometer and a half our footprint is 65g of CO2 However if we eat bacon before the bike ride it s 200g In fact bananas are good in general because they don t need packaging they can be transported by boat and they grow in natural sunlight So does this mean that cycling is bad for the environment Absolutely not for a start if you cycle you don t use your car and the fewer cars on the road the fewer traffic jams And cars in traffic jams produce three times more CO2 than cars traveling at speed Cycling also makes you healthy and less likely to go to a hospital And hospitals have very big carbon footprints So maybe it s time for us all to start making some changes Pass me a banana and a pint of local beer please 5 According to Berners Lee which of the following produces the most carbon dioxide 9 A A pint of local beer we drink B A pint of imported beer we drink C A banana we eat before a bike ride D The bacon we eat before a bike ride 6 Why are bananas good in general A They grow naturally B They produces less CO2 C They don t need packaging D They provide energy for cycling 7 The underlined word brewery in Paragraph 3 most probably means A a factory where beer is made B a machine which makes beer C a container where beer is stored D one of the things from which beer is made 8 To make our carbon footprints smaller we should often A cycle to work B drink more local beer C calculate the amount of CO2 D buy cheap things from the supermarkets 9 What s the most suitable title for the passage A Bikes Beer and Bananas B Starting to Make Changes C How Big Is Your Carbon Footprint D The Carbon Footprint of Everything 参考答案 B BBAAC 结束 阅读下列短文 阅读下列短文 从每题所给的四个选项 从每题所给的四个选项 A A B B C C 和和 D D 中 选出最佳选项 中 选出最佳选项 10 A A From good reading we can derive pleasure companionship experience and instruction A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life It increases our contentment when we are cheerful and lessens our troubles when we are sad Whatever may be our main purpose in reading our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary they may become our companions and friends In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances Our human friends sometimes may bore us but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings When human friends desert us good books are always ready to give us friendship sympathy and encouragement One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far off place a book will help us when nothing else can To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way no airship or ocean liner or stream lined train to transport us no passport to enter the land of our heart s desire Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger We can climb lofty mountains brave the perils of an Antarctic winter or cross the scorching sands of the desert all without hardship In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives
