Every day 25 million U.S. children ride school buses. The safety record for these buses is much better than for passenger cars; but nevertheless, about 10 children are killed each year riding on large school buses, and nearly four times that number are killed outside buses in the loading zones. By and large, however, the nation’s school children are transported to and from school safety.

Even though the number of school bus accidents is not large, the safety of children is always of intense public concern. While everyone wants to see children transported safely, people are divided about what needs to be done-particularly whether seat belts should be compulsory.

People in favour of seat belts on school buses-many of them parents and medical organizations-argue that seat belts are necessary not only to reduce fatality and injury, but also to teach children lessons about the importance of using them routinely in any moving vehicle. A side benefit, they point out, is that seat belts help keep children in their seats, away from the bus driver.

People who object to seat belt installation suggest that children are already well protected by the school buses that follow the Nation Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) safety requirements set in 1977. They also believe that many children won’t wear seat belts anyway, and that may damage the belts or use them as weapons to hurt other children.

A new Research council report on school bus safety suggest that there are alternate safety devices and procedures that may be more effective and less expensive. For example, the study committee suggested that raising seat backs four inches may have the same safety effectiveness as seat belts.

  The report sponsored by the Department of transportation at the request of Congress, re

views seat belts extensively while taking a broader look at safety in and around school buses.

According to the passage, who has the greatest degree of control of the school buses “safety”?

A.A new Research Council.           B.The Department of Transportation.

C.The Medical Organization.         D.National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

It may be inferred from this passage that .       .

A.many of the opponents(反對者) of seat belt installation are parents and officials of the Department of Transportation

B.proposals of seat belts on school buses would be seriously considered

C.an alternate safety device (raising seat backs four inches) may be taken into consideration

D.The Department of Transportation may either take the idea of seat belts or other measures when it reviews the whole situation

The title below which best expresses the idea of the passage is“”.

A.Making School Buses Even Safer for Children     B.Seat Belts Needed on School Buses

C.Alternate Safety Devices and Procedures         D.Safety in and around School Buses

On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast,but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape.After allm it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea.As we got on board,we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.

On approaching them,we saw it was a mother whale with her baby.We couldn’t beliece it ----there aren’t any whales along the coast here.The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badlly polluted that nothing could surive.

and tried to lead them towards the bay channel.Showly,they let us lead them,some-times rising from the water right beside us to breathe----and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes.Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea,the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.

Dolphins and sharks are showing up in surprisingly shallow water just off the Florida coast. Mullets, crabs, rays and small fish gather by the thousands off an Alabama pirer. Birds covered in oil are crawling deep into marshes（沼澤）, never to be seen again.

Marine scientists studying the effects of the BP disaster（英國石油公司漏油事件）are seeing some strange phenomena. Fish and other wildlife seem to be fleeing the oil out in the Gulf and clustering in cleaner waters along the coast in a trend that some researchers see as a potentially troubling sign. The animals' presence close to shore means their usual habitat is badly polluted, and the crowding could result in mass die-offs as fish run out of oxygen. Also, the animals could easily be captured by their enemies.

The nearly two-month-old spill（漏油）has created an environmental disaster in US history as tens of millions of gallons have flown into the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. Scientists are seeing some unusual things as they try to understand the effects on thousands of species of marine life.

For nearly four hours Monday, a three-person crew with Greenpeace cruised past delicate islands and mangrove-dotted inlets in Barataria Bay off southern Louisiana. They saw dolphins by the dozen frolicking（嬉戲）in the oily sheen（光澤）and oil-tinged pelicans feeding their young. But they spotted no dead animals.

"I think part of the reason why we're not seeing more yet is that the impacts of this crisis are really just beginning," Greenpeace marine biologist John Hocevar said.

The counting of dead wildlife in the Gulf is more than an academic exercise; the deaths will help determine how much BP pays in damages.

1.What do the marine life react to the BP disaster?

A．Birds crawl deep into caves.

B．Dolphins and sharks show up in deep water.

C．Tens of thousands of marine animals are found dead.

D．Sea creatures flee from oil spill, gathering near seashore.

2.The environmental disaster was caused by     .

A．the damage of the Mexico Gulf ecosystem

B．the lack of environmental sense of BP

C．the nearly two-month-old oil spill

D．the crowding marine life

3.What is John Hocevar’s attitude towards the disaster?

A．Worried.

B．Disappointed.

C．Depressed.

D．Neutral.

4.From the passage, we can infer that         .

A．BP will pay much money according to the number of dead wildlife there

B．marine scientists have seen some strange phenomena

C．the disaster has little influence on dolphins

D．a(chǎn) three-person crew reached no conclusion

5. The test is most probably a   ______     .

A．newspaper ad

B．book review

C．science news report

D．science fiction story
