第二部分阅读理解（共25小题；第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。并把选项填入答题卷中的相应位置。
A
The US airline industry is facing a new threat to its profits — heavier passengers, a report has found. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average US adult put on ten pounds (4.5kg) of weight during the 1990s. transporting the extra weight cost airlines an extra $275 million in fuel costs in 2000, the report says.
Earnings at airlines have already been under pressure due to the decreasing demand and a record increase in the price of crude oil. In the US, a number of airlines have gone bust while others are struggling to survive in an ever more competitive marketplace. While it is relatively easy to check the weight of a traveler’s luggage and charge those that burst limits, it is much harder to regulate a person’s waistline. Some firms have toyed with the idea of (jokingly suggested) charging overweight travelers for two seats, but it is not a practice that has taken off industry-wide.
Last year, the American Federal Aviation Administration increased the average passenger weight they use to calculate aircraft loads by ten pounds. Since then, crude oil prices have hit record levels, with many firms responding by raising the fuel charge they add to ticket prices.
The rising level of obesity in the US and in Europe has prompted government health campaigns and harsh criticism of a number of food firms. Restaurant chain McDonald’s has taken the main force of the attack, and has in recent months reworked its menu to include healthier option, which has helped lift profits.
As with fast food restaurants, timely adjustment may be the best solution presently for American airlines. The prediction by experts, however, is that humans are set to become bigger.

A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.
The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20% - 40% that are caused by tiredness.
Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel (方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response.
Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.
In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should ou0en a window or stop for a rest. If the driver’s continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.
The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.

Desert plants fall into sorts according to the way the deal with the problem of surviving drought. There are the drought-avoiders-those which persist (存留) only as seeds, ready to spring up when it rains, to flower quickly and produce another crop of seeds, and to die again. There are also the drought-resisters-those which have evolved various methods for strong water, locating underground water, or reducing their need for water by such devices as shedding their leaves. The drought-resisters are perennials (多年生植物), they manage to live from one rainy season to another, slowly growing bigger and bigger. Of these, the succulent (肉质植物) is a small but interesting fraction (小部分). They may store water in their leaves, in their stems, or in underground containers.
In the American deserts the best-known succulents are the cacti (仙人掌). They come in a wide range of sizes, from 50-foot tall giant saguaros (树形仙人掌) to tiny round cacti about the size of a thumb-nail. They take thick, cylindrical (圆柱体) or even spherical forms, thereby exposing a minimum of evaporating surface to the air and light. They are leafless, except in youth, and then the leaves are small. Typically their surfaces are spiny, discouraging thirst animals, and channeled like an accordion (手风琴), so the fleshy stem may expand quickly when the plant drinks and contracts slowly as it uses up the water. The root system is widespread and shallow, with good reason – only about 3 percent of the rain that falls on the desert penetrates to any significant depth into soil.

Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must be today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there were real disasters which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments should pay attention to. At such time, there were inquiries (调查) into the cause of the disaster or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the US, for example, there is a department which tests new planes and gives warnings about possible problem. It also makes the rules that plane producers must follow. Another department controls the foods that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every disaster or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before.
The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.

If it were only necessary to decide whether to teach elementary science to everyone on a mass basis or to find the gifted few and take them as far as they can, our task would be fairly simple. The public school system, however, has no such choose, for the jobs must be carried on at the same time. Because we depend so heavily on science and technology for our progress, we must produce specialists in many fields. Because we live in a democratic nation, whose citizens make the policies for the nation, large numbers of us must be educated to understand, to support, and when necessary, to judge the work of experts. The public school must educate both producers and users of scientific services.
In education, there should be a good balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgment. Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. This question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural science, the social science, and the arts, but also relative emphasis among the natural science themselves.
Similarly, we must have a balance between current and classical knowledge. The attention of the public is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to turn our attention away to the sound, established materials that form the basis of course for beginners.
