The device could save thousands of lives each year by warning when an area should be evacuated, the scientists say. Such natural disasters are common in countries that experience sudden, heavy rainfall, and can also be triggered by earthquakes and even water erosion.Landslides start when a few particles of soil or rock within a slope start to move，but the early stages can be hard to spot. Following this initial movement, “slopes can become unstable in a matter of hours or minutes,” says Nell Dixon at Loughborough University UK. He says a warning system that monitors this movement “might be enough to evacuate a block of fiats or clear a road, and save lives.”The most common way to monitor a slope for signs of an imminent landslide is to watch for changes in its shape. Surveyors can do this by measuring a site directly, or sensors sunk into boreholes or fixed above ground can be used to monitor the shape of a slope. Slopes can, however, change shape without triggering a landslide, so either method is prone to causing false alarms. Now Dixons team has developed a device that listens for the vibrations caused when particles begin moving within a slope.The device takes the form of a steel pipe dropped into a borehole in a slope. The borehole is filled in with gravel around the pipe to help transmit high-frequency vibrations generated by particles within the slope. These vibrations pass up the tube and are picked up by a sensor on the surface. Software analyses the vibration signal to determine whether a landslide may be imminent.The device is currently being tested in a 6-metre-tall artificial clay embankment in Newcastle, UK. Early results suggest it should provide fewer false positives than existing systems. Once it has been carefully and thoroughly tested, the device could be used to create a complete early-warning system for dangerous slopes.“Locations with a significant risk of landslides could definitely benefit from a machine like this,” says Adam Poulter, an expert at the British Red Cross. “As long as it doesnt cost too much.” But Poulter adds that an early-warning system may not be enough on its own. “You need to have the human communication,” he says. “Making systems that get warnings to those who need them can be difficult.”1. What does “Such natural disasters” in the first paragraph refer to? A. Sudden，heavy rainfall. B. Earthquakes.C. Water erosion. D. Landslides.2. Which of the following statements is true of landslides? A. The initial movement is hard to spot.B. They start with a movement of a few particles of soil or rock.C. They can be destructive in a matter of hours or minutes.D. All of the above.3. Why do researchers develop a new device to monitor signs of landsides? A. Because the new device can measure the site directly.B. Because the new device can be sunk into boreholes or fixed above ground.C. Because the common methods can cause false alarms.D. Because the common methods are useless.4. Which of the following statements is NOT true of the device，according to Paragraph 4? A. It is filled in with gravel.B. It consists of a steel pipe.C. It is dropped into a borehole filled in with gravel.D. It is connected to a sensor on the surface.5. According to the context，what does the word “positives” in the fifth paragraph mean? A. Positive electric charges. B. Evidences. C. Warnings. D. Predictions.Passage two1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year, plus a further 50 million injuries. To reduce car crash rate, much research now is focused on safety and new fuels though some electric vehicle and bio-fuel research aims at going faster.Traveling at speed has always been risky. One cutting edge area of research in motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistants. They can ensure you dont miss crucial road signs or fall asleep. The use of artificial intelligence software allows these assistants to monitor your driving and makes sure your phone or radio doesnt distract you at a vital moment. Most crashes result from human and not mechanical faults.Some safety developments aim to improve your vision. Radar can spot obstacles in fog, while other technology “sees through” high-sided vehicles blocking your view.And improvements to seat belts, pedal controls and tyres are making driving smoother and safer. The color of a car has been found to be linked with safety, as have, less surprisingly, size and shape.And alternatives to fossil-fuel based petrol, such as plant oils, are a hot area of research. Fuel cells based on hydrogen burn cleanly, and are the subject of a serious research effort.But whatever is in the fuel tank, you dont want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many innovations, some using satellite tracking and remote communications, to fight against car theft. These communication systems can also come into play if you crash, automatically calling for help.Accidents cause many traffic jams, but there are more subtle interplays between vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear but busy road, such jams can be analyzed using statistical tools. Robotic drivers could be programmed to make traffic flow smoothly and will perhaps one day be everyones personal chauffeur, but their latest efforts suggest that wont be soon. 6. What are researchers interested in doing as the road accidents worldwide increase to a shocking rate? _A. they are developing faster electric vehiclesB. they are analyzing road deaths occurring worldwide every year.C. they focus their research on safety and new fuelsD. they are designing fully automatic cars7. According to the second paragraph, most road accidents happen _A. because drivers fall asleepB. because drivers make mistakesC. because of engine failureD. because of speeding8. Which of the safety developments is NOT mentioned in the passage? _A. radars that can help drivers to see obstacles in fogB. devices that help drivers to see through big vehiclesC. improvements in seat belts, pedal controls and tyresD. windscreens that can help drivers to improve their vision9. What is NOT the purpose of innovations that use satellite tracking and remote communications? _A. to prevent car thieves from getting into your carB. to call for help when ones car crashesC. to call for help when the car gets jammed in the trafficD. to track the car down when it is being stolen10. What is true of robotic drivers? _A. it will take some time before robotic drivers can be put to practical useB. robotic drivers are not allowed to drive on busy roadsC. robotic drivers can never replace human driversD. robotic drivers are too expensive to usePassage threeMost of us have time when we feel really stressed outlike we have too much deal with and we dont know how. You may feel your stress in physical waysbeing tired a lot, getting headaches, muscle pains or having an upset stomach. You may also feel your stress in psychological waysbeing anxious or worried, crying easily, being easily angered or not being able to sleep or concentrate very well.Stress can be caused by long-term problems like not being able to find a job or being unhappy in your relationship or a sudden life change like switching jobs or having a baby or even daily events like having a bad day at work or missing your bus.If you learn to deal with your stress, you will be happier and find it easier to relax. For example, if youre stressed out because you keep being late for work or you missed your bus, try waking up an extra 15 or 20 minutes earlier. That way you wont have to rush and you can take your time to get ready and get to work. If youre having a hard time at work, try to figure out whats bothering you and talk to your boss about ways to fix the problems.11. Which of the following is NOT a physical way you feel your stress? _.A. Being exhausted.B. Having a bad sleep.C. Getting headaches.D. Having an upset stomach.12. According to the writer, what can lead to stress? _A. Hav
