11、nt rate. An analysis of 36 months of detailed taxi, driver and accident data from two fleets of yellow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yellow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibility of yellow makes it easier for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow

12、 taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.The study was led by Professor Ho. To test whether there was a causal relationship between the color of a taxi and the number of accidents the taxi had, the research team analyzed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found

13、that yellow taxis have about 6.1 fewer accidents per 1,000 taxis per month.The researchers also studied the economic effect of changing the color of the entire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio (比例) of one yellow to three bl

14、ue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76.4 fewer accidents would occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year. Assuming an average repair cost of $1,000 per car and a downtime of six days, switching the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual

15、 savings of $2 million.“We are eager to continue to validate (证实) the findings of our study by looking at the use of yellow in other types of public transport, such as school buses. For instance, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against other colors to find out if yellow

16、is indeed a safer color for school buses. Besides, we are also interested to look at private-hire vehicles and do a comparison of the accident rates of vehicles that are of different colors,” explained Professor Ho.1、Why do yellow taxis result in fewer accidents?ABecause yellow can be seen more easi

17、ly.BBecause yellow signals a warning of danger.CBecause drivers tend to be more careful in yellow taxis.DBecause people act more quickly in yellow surroundings.2、The underlined word “fleets” in Paragraph 1 probably means _.AcolorsBtypesCbrandsDgroups3、Whats Professor Hos study based on?APhysical ris

19、.CYellow should be widely used in public transport.DTheir study will be furthered.5、What can be the best title for the text?ACaution: Yellow Taxis AheadBSafer to Ride in Yellow TaxisCThe Preferred ColorYellowDColors and Accidents22（8分）The First HelloThe man from the telephone department got off the

20、bus, and made his way to the tea stall, wiping the sweat off his head, face, then slipping his handkerchief under his shirt to wipe his neck and back. It was a year ago that the phone line had been installed, six months later men from the public works department had come to put up the phone bootha n

Besides, he had taken

22、 the entire day. After he had a cup of tea, he left, waving cheerfully. And now months later, someone else was here again.Everyone watched the man as he sat on the bench. No one said a word, and soon the sound of him slurping his tea filled the hot afternoon. A few leaves fell, heavy in the heat, an

23、d sometimes a car passed, on its way to the main city farther away.When the man had finished, he tried to pay but the tea shop owner who sat behind his steaming kettle and the washed upturned cups, waved him away.“You are our guest here.”So the man took his handkerchief out again and wiped his face.

24、They crowded around him as he shut himself up in the phone booth. When the children pressed their nose against the glass, he shooed them away, as he took out a shiny black soon changed to an excited yell as they saw him dial a number, pressing a finger into the ringed dialer of the phone and letting

25、 it go all the way in a half-circle. A while later, they hear him say into the mouthpiece, “Hello.”“Hello, ”the children around the booth took up the cry, the teashop owner broke into a smile and the men waiting for a bus smiled and said hello to each other. The sadhu(印度的僧人)who sat under the banyan

26、tree nodded wisely. As the sound carried, more hellos were heard. The women winnowing grain giggled as they tried the word tentatively, the shepherds feeding their flocks called out to their sheep, laughing as they used the word.“Its a big occasion, ”said the headman, in an awed(敬畏的) voice.“It is.”

27、agreed those around him. The telephone man emerged and handed over a small chit of paper to the headman. “This is the telephone number.”The headman looked at it respectfully as if it were a mantra(符咒). The others around him read out the numbers slowly, digit-by-digit.The telephone man was now too ti

28、red to notice the cheering around him. He knew he had to wait long before the bus to take him back arrived. As he sipped his second cup of tea, he remembered something else.“Oh, you cant start using the phone now. The minister will come next month and inaugurate it. ”No one said a word. No one was s

34、go, people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life. Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment. They say a baby will smile if her mother do

35、es something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregivers. This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings. One study shows that babies can learn before they are born. The researchers placed a tape recorde

36、r on the stomach of a pregnant woman. Then, they played a recording of a short story. On the day the baby was born, the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother. They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.The baby would hea

38、ws how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children. Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years. The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers. The women were considered sensitive if they supported their

39、childrens activities and did not interfere(干预) unnecessarily. They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old. Also, the researchers observed the women for signs of depression. The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children o

40、f women who did not suffer from depression. The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they hear.These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people.

He looks up at his father, Andrew, who nods enco

46、uragingly. “Go ahead,” he says. “Put it in.” The young boy drags his feet forward and holds the fish as far as he can into the shallow water. “Its floating!” Eli yells, delighted. For a moment, its almost as if the handsome salmon could come back to life.Elis salmon is just one of 100 or so death bo

48、s campaign to recover this urban waterways salmon population. “The Douglas Society started looking into the possibility of recovering the salmon in the river in the mid-1990s, and part of a thought in that Lime focused on river recovery in cities worldwide.

Many would say “yes, definitely”, but the employees of one Swedish software consultancy company would tell them

53、otherwise. They dont have a CEO. Nobody tells anyone what to do, instead, all the 40 employees have meetings and decide together.Crisp has become world famous for not having a boss. Hoping to get its employees more involved, it moved on to change its chief executive officer (CEO) annually, but ultim

54、ately, the 40-strong staff decided to scrap the position altogether.Well, it turns out that not having a boss, and being involved in decision making has made Crisps 40 employees more responsible and motivated. And even if someone does make a bad call at some point, its definitely not the end of the

55、world.According to the BBC, the unique Swedish company is apparently set up more like a family nobody tells anyone what to do, but the unspoken understanding is that “you dont mess up the house”.Crisp does hold four-day meetings for the whole staff two or three times a year, when they decide on thin

56、gs that affect everyone, like changing their headquarters, but generally, company employees are encouraged to make their own decisions. They also have a company board, a legal requirement in Sweden, which acts as a last resort, in case something goes horribly wrong.So far, the “no CEO” experiment ha

57、s gone surprisingly well.
