Yesterday's deadly Amtrak derailment(脱轨) in Philadelphia, which killed at least eight people and injured more than 200 others, may have people wondering, where is the safest place to sit on a train?

Conventional wisdom holds that the front car of a train is the most dangerous place in the event of a head-on collision, while the last car is less safe if the train is rear-ended. But, in fact, trains are nine times more likely to derail than to hit another train or car head-on or to get hit from behind, according to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). The administration found that there were about 13,200 derailments from 2005 to 2014, compared with about 1,450 collisions.

Investigators are working to determine what caused the derailment of Amtrak's Northeast Regional Train 188, which was carrying 238 passengers and five crewmembers en route from Washington, D.C., to New York Tuesday night (May 12). The train had seven cars, including the engine car, which separated from the others in the accident. Six of the cars overturned, and some were so twisted that firefighters had to use hydraulic(液压的) tools to get people out, The New York Times reported.

Studies suggest that broken rails or welds(焊接点) are the leading cause of derailment on main tracks, and these problems more often cause derailments near the front of the train. Overall, choosing a car located one or two back from the middle of the train may be the safest bet, Ross Capon, president of the National Association of Railroad Passengers, told CBS New York in 2013.

Head-on collisions do occur, however. In February, a Metro-North commuter train in Valhalla, New York, collided with an S.U.V. on the tracks, killing six people, including the car's driver, and injuring 15 others. That crash was so deadly, in part, because long sections of the electrified third rail pierced(穿透) the front and second cars, the Times reported.

A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出

In general, aisle seats are safer than window seats, where a passenger is more likely to come in contact with broken glass or be thrown from the train, Capon told CBS New York.

Safety experts also recommend choosing a rear-facing seat, because a person sitting there is less likely to be thrown forward during a collision. Trains are more likely to hit something side-on than head-on or from behind, according to the FRA.

If the train has a caf car, it's a good idea to avoid spending too much time there, ébecause the rigid tables can become dangerous if the train suddenly breaks or hits something, Vocativ. reported.

Trains are still one of the safest modes of transport; in 2013, 1 U.S. fatalities were linked to rail travel, compared with more than 32,700 deaths from highway accidents, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. And the vast majority of railroad deaths are trespassers(违规穿行者) struck by trains.

56．According to FRA, the most common cause of train accidents is ______. A. Derailments B. Head-on collision C. Hit from behind D. Collision with trespassers 57. In general, the safest place on a train is ______. A. The caf car on the train é

B. A car near the middle of the train C. Window seats at the back of the train D. Rear-face seats at the front of the train 58. What does the underlined word “fatalities” in the last paragraph mean? A. accidents B. deaths C. threats D. facilities

Saravjeet Kaur meets hundreds of nurses every year－but she knows she should not get too attached to them. “If they complete one year,” says Ms Kaur, director of nursing for one of the biggest private-hospital systems in India, “I’m happy with them.” The World Health Organization recommends 2.5 doctors, nurses and midwives for every 1,000 people. America and Britain have more than 12. India has just 1.6. As the world grows older and fatter, competition for health-care workers will only intensify.

In the rich world, shortages vary in size and nature. America may be the best example of dysfunction. Becoming a doctor consumes a minimum of seven years, not counting four years spent in university. More than 80% of graduates leave medical school with debt, owing an average of $149,103. That underlines incentives to practice the more profitable, specialized types of medicine, and leads to a shortage of primary-care doctors, who earn less and work harder than, say, dermatologists(皮肤科医生). The Association of American Medical Colleges predicts a shortage of 45,000 primary-care doctors by 2010, precisely the type of doctors who might manage choronic(慢性的) conditions.

This may drive rich countries to look for talent in poor ones－where the shortage of professionals is already much worse. Governments invest too little in medical training, and those doctors who are trained often leave to seek higher salaries or better working conditions. India supplies about one in ten of Britain’s physicians.

Worried about such draining of brains, in 2010 members of the World Health Organization signed a resolution to prevent the recruitment(招募) of doctors from the poor world to the rich one. But limiting the movement of workers is a far poorer solution than expanding training programmes. The Philippines is the world’leading exporter of nurses, yet continues to have more nurses per person than Spain or Japan. The chance of migration encourages students to become nurses. Some, inevitably, stay home. In a study of 127 developing countries in 2009, the prospect of migration boosted human capital, rather than draining it. Trouble begins only if more than 20% of college graduates leave, according to an earlier study.

At Max Healthcare, her company in India, Ms Kaur does not mind when some nurses move abroad; after all, many choose not to. Max even has a programme that explicitly uses the West’s attraction to its advantage. To boost its supply of emergency doctors, Max created a training programme with George Washington University in America. “You can’t stop people from moving,”says Tamorish Kole, who runs the programme, “So you might as well use it as a tool of recruitment.”59. According to Saravjeet Kaur, in India ______. A. Nurses’ working conditions are pretty good B. It’s not a good idea to be closely related to nurses C. It’s quite common for nurses to leave for better salaries D. The number of nurses moving abroad keeps decreasing 60. Why is there a shortage of primary-care doctors in America? A. Because primary-care doctors are not well-paid. B. Because governments fail to invest enough money. C. Because it takes at least 7 years to become a doctor.

D. Because more and more people come down with diseases. 61. Max created a training programme to ______. A. improve doctors’ skills

B. attract more doctors to stay C. limit the movement of doctors

D. export more doctors to the rich world

I’m good under pressure. Part of that comes from my dad, who taught me the best defense against fear is faith. Then there were the six years I served in the military. I learned to handle myself in all kinds of situations. The key was being prepared, so I could remain in control even if everything around me was going haywire.

After I fulfilled my term of enlistment, I pursued my dream of becoming a pilot. I enrolled at one of the top flight-training schools.

My flight instructor was surprised at how easily I took to flying. He was amazed to find I had fun practicing stalls(飞机失速). Stalling an airplane has to do with air speed. It’s when you lose lift over the wings. To me, practicing was a chance to become a better pilot.

Nothing, though, could have prepared me for what happened on February 12, 2008. Class had ended for the day. I hopped into my red 2006 Ford Mustang, got on the highway and headed toward my apartment. A car pulled in behind me. Turning

onto my street, I glanced in the rearview mirror and noticed the car behind me turn too. _A_Nah, I was just cautious from my military training.

My apartment complex was just ahead. I slowed and signaled, then turned into the parking lot. I checked the rearview again. The car went into the lot across the street. Nothing to worry about. I pulled into a parking space and killed the engine. I was about to open the door when I saw a man approaching. Right away I knew he was trouble. Quickly I assessed options. I had two choices: Restart the engine, back up and floor it, or get out of the car and flee on foot. I ruled out the car－I didn’t want to risk being trapped inside. I decided to see what he wanted. Grabbing my keys and cell, I got out.

That’s when the man pointed a gun at me: “Give me your purse!”I said, “I don’t have a purse.”He kept coming. “Give me your purse!” He stuck the gun in my stomach. I didn’t want to upset him. He reached over and snatched my keys and phone and popped the trunk. He forced me to the back of my car. “Get in.” I hesitated. “Get in,” he snarled. “Now!”

I did－but only because I remembered the trunk release. I’d read every word of the Mustang owner’s manual as soon as I got home from buying the car. I knew exactly where the trunk release was.

“Don’t move, don’t make a noise,”he warned. He slammed the trunk shut. Everything went dark. I was trapped.

Fighting the instinctive panic, I found the trunk release and put my hand on it. Gently, I began to pull. But something stopped me: _B_

My eyes were adjusting to the darkness. Not that there was much to see. No room to move around either.

_C_I told myself. I heard the kidnapper start the car. He put it in reverse. What was he planning to do with me? I shuddered. Had I survived six years on active duty, only to have my life threatened in some senseless crime? _D_

Right there in the trunk, my fear receded. My mind cleared. I knew whatever direction he turned, he’d have to slow down. If he went straight, he’d have to stop at the stop sign. I waited for my chance.

He drove the Mustang forward, then stopped. I heard another car honk. Then he accelerated again. The speed limit was 15 mph. I couldn’t tell what direction we were going. As soon as he slowed down. I pushed the trunk open and jumped out.

I landed on my feet. There was a car stopped behind me. I stared into the driver’s eyes. Something told me he was in league with my kidnapper. The driver froze. It seemed like he stared at me forever. Then he turned his wheel. I didn’t hesitate. I took off down the side of the road. I raced through people’s yards. I ran back to my apartment complex and beat on doors. One finally opened. An old lady let me in. I quickly closed the door and locked it. I was on with the 911 operator when there was a knock at the door. The door swung open. A strong figure stood there－a Daytona Beach police officer. He had been in the community and responded immediately. 62.The writer was saved because ______. A. the kidnappers weren’t cautious

B. the police officer was very brave

C. he was always prepared for anything D. he practiced hard and was a good pilot 63.What does the underlined phrase “going haywire” mean? A. in chaos B. being astonishing C. driving people crazy D. very demanding . The following sentences should be put in blanks A－D in the order of ______?①You have just one chance.②Pay attention!

③Is he following me?④Get a hold of yourself. A.①③②④ B. ③①②④ C. ③①④② D. ③②①④65. What does the underlined sentence The driver froze. It seemed like he stared at me forever. suggest? A. The writer’s sudden falling frightened the driver. B. It took the driver a long time to decide to take action. C. The writer’s landing was what the driver didn’t expect. D. The driver had nothing to do with the kidnapping.

D

Motion pictures are so much a part of our lives that it’s hard to imagine a world without them. We enjoy them in theatres, at home, in offices, in cars and buses, and on airplanes.

①For about 100 years, people have been trying to understand why this medium has so attracted us. Films communicate information and ideas, and they show us places and ways of life we might not otherwise know. Important as the benefits are, though, something more is at stake. Films offer us ways of seeing and feeling that we find deeply satisfying. They take us through experiences. The experiences are often driven by stories, with characters we come to care about, but a film might also develop an idea or explore visual qualities or sound textures. A film takes us on a journey, offering a patterned experience that engages our minds and emotions.

th

②Films are designed to have effects on viewers. Late in the 19 century, moving pictures emerged as a public amusement. They succeeded because they spoke to the imaginative needs of a broad-based audience. All the traditions that emerged－telling fictional stories, recording actual events, animating objects or pictures, experimenting with pure form－aimed to give viewers experiences they couldn’t get from other media. The men and women who made films discovered that they could control aspects of cinema to give their audience richer, more engaging experiences. Learning from one another, expanding and refining the options available, filmmakers developed skills that became the basis of film as an art form.

③The popular origins of cinema suggest that some common ways of talking won’t help us much in understanding film. Take the distinction between art and entertainment. Some people would say that blockbusters(大片) playing at the multiplex are merely “entertainment”, whereas films for a narrower public－perhaps independent films for festival fare, or specialized experimental works－are true art.

Usually the art / entertainment split carries a not-so-hidden value judgment: art is high-brow, whereas entertainment is superficial. Yet things aren’t that simple. As we just indicated, many of the artistic resources of cinema were discovered by filmmakers working for the general public. During the 1910s and 1920s, for instance, many films that aimed only to be entertaining opened up new possibilities for film editing. As for the matter of value, it’s clear that popular traditions can promote art of high quality. Cinema is an art because it offers filmmakers ways to design experiences for viewers, and those experiences can be valuable.

④Sometimes, too, people treat film art as opposed to film as a business. This split is related to the issue of entertainment, since entertainment generally is sold to a mass audience. Again, however, in most modern societies, no art floats free of economic ties. Novels good, bad, or indifferent are published because publishers expect to sell them. Painters hope that collectors and museums will acquire their work. True, some artworks are funded through taxes or private donations, but that process, too, involves the artist in a financial transaction(交易). Films are no different. Others are funded by patronage or public moneys. Even if you decide to make your own digital movie, you face the problem of paying for it－and you may hope to earn a little extra for all your time and effort.

The crucial point is that considerations of money don’t necessarily make the artist any less creative or the project any less worthwhile. Money can corrupt any line of business (consider politics), but it doesn’t have to. In Renaissance Italy, painters were commissioned by the Catholic church to illustrate events from the Bible. Michaelangelo and Lenonardo da Vinci worked for hire, but it would be hard to argue that it hurt their artistry.

Here we won’t assume that film art prevents entertainment. We won’t take the opposite position either－claiming that only Hollywood mass-market movies are worth attention. Similarly, we don’t think that film art rises above commercial demand, but we also won’t assume that money rules everything. Any art form offers a vast range of creative possibilities. Our basic assumption is that as an art, film offers experiences that viewers find worthwhile. 66.Where should It doesn’t happen by accident. be put in the passage? A.①B.②C.③D.④67.Which of the following statements about film is TRUE? A.Hollywood films are usually far more appealing. B.Film offers a wide variety of creative possibilities.

C.Films are made in the hope that consumers will pay to see them. D.When watching films, viewers feel controlled by film designers.

68.The writer uses the examples of Michaelangelo and Lenonardo da Vinci to

______.

A.indicate that money is unlikely to corrupt artistry B.show that money doesn’t necessarily destroy artistry

C.prove that money cannot buy everything in the field of art

D.suggest that money is an important concern even for famous artists 69.According to the writer, film should ______.

A.avoid concentrating on popular traditions B.focus on artistry rather than entertainment

C.provide the audience with something worthwhile D.earn enough to pay for the developers’ time and effort

70.Which of the following can be the proper title for the passage? A.Film: art or business B.Art or entertainment

C.Film offers us experiences D.Money doesn’t rule everything

当的单词。

注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。Today’s demands for measurable childhood successfrom the Common Core to —college placement—have chased household chores from the to-do lists of many young people. In a survey of 1,001 U.S. adults released last fall by Braun Research, 82% reported having regular chores growing up, but only 28% said that they require their own children to do them.

“Parents today want their kids to spend time on things that can bring them success, but ironically, we’ve stopped doing one thing that’s actually been a provepredictor of success—and that’household s chores,”　says Richard Rende, a developmental psychologist in Paradise Valley, Ariz., and co-author of the forthcoming book Raising Can-Do Kids. Decades of studies show the benefits of chores—academically, emotionally and even professionally.

Giving children household chores at an early age helps to build a lasting sense of mastery, responsibility and self-reliance, according to research by Marty Rossmann，retired professor at the University of Minnesota.

Chores also teach children how to be empathetic and responsive to others’ needs, notes psychologist Richard Weissbourd of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. In research, he and his team surveyed 10,000 middle- and high-school students and asked them to rank what they valued more: achievement, happiness or caring for others.

Almost 80% chose either achievement or happiness over caring for others. As he points out, however, research suggests that personal happiness comes most reliably not from high achievement but from strong relationships. “We’re out of balance,” says Dr. Weissbourd. A good way to start readjusting priorities, he suggests, is by learning to be kind and helpful at home.

The next time that your child asks to skip chores to do homework, resist the urge to let him or her off the hook, says psychologist Madeline Levine.

Here are some of the best ways to get your children properly motivated to do chores:

★Watch your language. In a study of 149 3-to-6-year-olds in the journal Child

Development, researchers found that thanking young children for “being a helper”, as opposed to “helping”, significantly increased their desire to pitch in. They were motivated by the idea of creating a positive identity－being known as someone who helps.

★Schedule chore time. Write chores into the calendar, right next to the piano lesson and soccer practice, to maintain consistency.

★Keep allowances and chores separate. Research suggests that external rewards can actually lower intrinsic(在的) motivation and performance. With chores, psychologists say that money can lessen a child’s motivation to help, turning an altruistic(无私的) act into a business transaction.

★Types of tasks matter. To build prosocial behavior like empathy, chores should be routine and focused on taking care of the family (like dusting the living room or doing everyone’s laundry), not self-care (tidying one’s bedroom or doing personal laundry). Psychologists add that involving children in choosing the tasks makes them more likely to buy in.

★Give chores a PR boost. Don’t tie chores to punishments. Keep any talk about chores, including your own, positive or at least neutral. If you complain about doing the dishes, so will your children.

Children __71__ Chores

The __72__ According to the survey, only a few children are required to do situation regular chores as their parents __73__ to. The reason Nowadays childhood success is __74__ differently from the

past. Benefits of doing chores.

Doing chores at an early age, children __75__ to have more sense of mastery, responsibility and self-reliance.

Through chores, children also learn how to be empathetic and responsive to others’ needs. Caring for others can lead to strong relationships, where personal happiness __76__ comes from.

__78__ young children as helpers will increase their desire to pitch in.

Put the chores into their daily schedule the same as the piano lesson and soccer practice.

Never ever combine the chores with the allowance. Money will turn the act into a business transaction and lower their motivation.

Make children __79__ in choosing the types of chores, which should be routine and focusing on taking care of the family __80__ than self-care ones. Talk about chores positively and don’t complain about doing chores or tie it to punishment.

The government of Shenzhen sent shockwaves through the e-commerce world when, late last month, it started carrying out the strictest rules against electric bicycles and tricycles without license in the country.

The rules stated that all electric bicycles and tricycles without license, especially those used in commercial activities such as goods delivery or passenger transportation, would be taken off the road within 100 days, starting on March 21. Thousands of vehicles have been seized, and hundreds of owners have been fined, according to media reports. The measures met with criticism throughout the country, with many consumers worried that the rules would hit the e-commerce industry hard. There were also concerns that Shenzhen’s laws would inspire similar measures across the nation, making online shopping more expensive and less convenient for millions of online shoppers.

Shenzhen authorities have clarified that the new rules were not aimed at the e-commerce industry in particular. Rather, they say their goal was primarily to improve road safety. Drivers of electric vehicles, especially couriers(快递员), often ignore traffic rules by exceeding speed limits and using unauthorized lanes. Shenzhen officials say these drivers give great danger to themselves and the public. 1.2.(1)(2)
