11、searchers from the National University of Singapore(NUS)has found a clear link between the color of a taxi and its accident 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

12、 than blue taxis. The higher visibility (能见度)of yellow makes it easier for drivers to avoid getting into accidents with yellow taxis, leading to a lower accident rate.The study was led by Prof Ho. To test whether there was a causal relationship between the color of a taxi and the number of accidents

13、 the taxi had, the research team analysed data collected by the largest taxi company in Singapore. The researchers found 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 y

14、ellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio(比例) of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76.6 fewer accidents would occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year. Assuming an average repa

15、ir cost of $1,000 per car and a downtime of six days, switching the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual 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.

16、 For instance, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against other colors to find out if yellow 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 differen

17、t colors,” explained Prof Ho.1、Why do yellow taxis result in fewer accidents?ABecause yellow can be seen more easily.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、Whats Prof Hos study bas

They make headli

21、nes for chewing up billions of dollars of property each year in the U. S. And they are responsible for something like two percent of global carbon emissions, simply as a result of their huge populations and preference for chewing through carbonrich materials. A whole industry is aiming at killing th

22、em.But they play a key role in many natural ecosystems. Scientists have known for years that in tropical (热带的) forests, termites chew up fallen leaves and dead wood, keeping the fallen material under control and letting nutrients from the dead material back into the system to be used by other plants

23、, insects, and animals. But they didnt know exactly how important the insects were in keeping the forest healthy and functional, so they removed termites from a particular spot in the forest and saw how it responded.As luck would have it, Hannah Griffiths and her colleagues started their experiment

24、when the forest was hit by an extreme drought (干旱). During the non-drought years, they saw there wasnt much difference between the normal plots and the ones where theyd removed the termites. But during the drought, the effects were marked. What they found was unexpected: in the termite-rich areas, t

25、he soil stayed slightly wet, more tree seedlings sprouted (抽芽), and the system was full of activity despite the long, hard dry spell.For Griffiths, it was only because they happened to study the drought that they could pick out the real importance of termites to the system, she points out. “And that

26、 rings alarm bells in my head,” she says, “because it makes me think, well what else dont we know? If we start damaging biological communities, we dont know what that will do.”1、Which of the following best explains “a bum rap” underlined in Paragraph 2?AUnfair blame.BWide popularity.CPublic attentio

27、n.DSpecial preference.2、What have scientists learned about termites?AThey do serious harm to tropical rainforests.BThey contribute a lot to the ecosystem they live in.CThey act as food for other plants, insects and animals.DThey speed up the loss of nutrition in the rainforest.3、What can we infer fr

28、om the finding of Griffiths experiment?ATermites help rainforests survive climate change.BTermites prefer drought years to non-drought ones.CTermites benefit more from the forest during the drought.DTermites enjoy eating tree seedlings during the drought.4、What does Griffiths tell us in the last par

29、agraph?ATermites are now in danger of extinction.BTermites damage biological communities.CWe should think twice before damaging a species.DWe should study the drought to improve the system.23（8分）The True Story of a Young ManWhen Reginald Lindsay received a scholarship to Morehouse College in Atlanta
