A
It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That’s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
“I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens(警笛)going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder.”
But Hyde couldn’t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination(目的地). At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn’t needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.
“Just about that time,” Hyde says, “I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He’d blown his engine. Now he had to stop.”
“After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn’t have a driver’s license.”
That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty – a thousand dollars for the new engine – not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.
1. The meaning of “panicked” in Paragraph 2 is related to _____.
A. shame B. hate C. fear D. anger
2. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?
A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road.
B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.
C. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder.
D. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.
3. Which of the following statements is true?
A. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene.
B. Someone else was taking care of the injured person.
C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car.
D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40.
4. What is probably the best title for the article?
A. Going My Way B. Losing His Way
C. Fun All the Way D. Help on the Way
B
The scene in the Hollywood movie The Day After Tomorrow, where global warning could soon turn the global climate into a new ice age. May never occur, according to new research.
The next ice age could be 15,000 years away, say European scientists who last month announced a continuous record of 740,000 years of climate data obtained from the Antarctic ice.
Scientists from 10 nations have now almost completely drilled through a 3,000-meter depth of ice high in the Antarctic mainland. They figure out that the area where summer temperatures can fall to-40℃, has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls, kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree. And the ice and air caught in each layer have begun to answer questions about the climates in the past.
The results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740,000 years and eight warmer periods. And by comparing the pattern of global conditions today with those of the past, the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15,000 years.
Research suggests that there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temperatures. It also shows that carbon dioxide levels are the highest for at least 440,000 years.
“If people say to you: the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into an ice age otherwise , our data say no , a new ice age is not hanging over our heads,” said Erie Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey. “Now we have eight examples of how the climate goes in and out of ice ages…and you can learn what the rules are that go into the climate models that tell us about the future.”
Scientists found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record, so did carbon dioxide level.” In 440,000 years we have never seen greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today,” said Dr Wolff.
5. In drilling through the ice in Antarctica, scientists have found tha
A. the lowest temperature there is -40℃ B. snowfalls are kept in certain patterns
C. the ice has existed for 15,000 years D. the depth of ice is 3,000 meters
6. The information of the global climate conditions in the past can be obtained through
A. separating carbon dioxide from the air
B. examining the growth rings of trees
