She had traveled the route so many times. A car out of nowhere crashed into Espositos minivan, pushing her backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. She sat in the minivan, bruised but mostly just stunned by the impact and by the vehicles airbags. As it happened, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for bed. A volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, 64, never stopped to think. He grabbed a flashlight and, still in his pajamas, ran out the door. The first car he came upon was the one that had hit Esposito. Once DiPinto concluded the driver was OK, he looked around and spotted Espositos minivan stuck on the railroad tracks. And then he heard a sharp sound: the bells signaling an oncoming train. I even see the headlights of the train, he told Newsday. DiPinto rushed to Espositos minivan and banged on the drivers side window. She just looked at him, her eyes unfocused. I dont know where I am, she said. Honey, youre on the railroad tracks, DiPinto shouted. We have to get you off right now! He yanked(猛拉) on the handle, but the door was jammed shut. The train was hurtling toward them. DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the door. Please, dont let her be trapped, he thought. He pushed aside the deflating airbags, grabbed Espositos arms, and pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until he could help her out and speed her to safety. Within six seconds, he estimated, the train crashed into the Minivan. It was like a Hollywood movie, DiPinto told reporters the next day. But this one had a twist.

The Hero in PajamasC Earth Day was founded in 1970 as a day of education about environmental issues, and Earth Day 2020 occurs on Wednesday, April 22the holidays 50th anniversary. The holiday is now a global celebration thats sometimes extended into Earth Week, a full seven days of events focused on green living. By the early 1960s, Americans were becoming aware of the effects of pollution on the environment. Rachel Carsons 1962 bestseller Silent Spring pointed out the dangerous effects of pesticides(杀虫剂) on the American countryside. Later in the decade, a 1969 fire on Clevelands Cuyahoga River shed light on the problem of chemical waste disposal. Until that time, protecting the planets natural resources was not part of the national political plan. Only a small portion of the American population was familiar with environmental issueslet alone practiced recycling. Elected to the U.S. Senate in 1962, Senator(参议员) Gaylord Nelson was determined to convince the federal government that the planet was at risk. In the fall of 1969, Nelson, considered one of the leaders of the modern environmental movements, announced the Earth Day concept at a conference in Seattle and invited the entire nation to get involved. He later recalled: The response was electric(高度刺激的). Telegrams, letters and telephone inquiries poured in from all across the country. The American people finally had an opportunity to express their concern about what was happening to the land, rivers, lakes and air. Public opinion polls(民意调查) indicated that in May 1971, 25 percent of the U.S public declared protecting the environment to be an important goal, a 2,500 percent increase over 1969. Earth Day kicked off the environmental decade with a bang, as Senator Nelson later put it. During the 1970s, a number of important environmental laws were passed, such as the Clean Air Act, the Water Quality Improvement Act and the Endangered Species Act. Another key development was the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) in December 1970, which was tasked with protecting human health and safeguarding the natural environmentair, water and land.8.What do we learn about the circumstances in America before Earth Day was founded?A.The overuse of pesticides had little impact on the American countryside.B.The fire on Cuyahoga River was caused by improper chemical waste disposal.C.The government highly valued the protection of the natural resources.D.Only a few Americans were familiar with environmental issues and practiced recycling.9.What can be inferred from the third paragraph?A.Nelson convinced the federal government that the planet was at risk.B.Nelson organized the modem environmental movements all by himself.C.The Earth Day successfully aroused the publics interest in environmental issues.D.The electric power supply had been cut off because numerous telephone inquiries poured in.10.Why was the Environmental Protection Agency set up?A.To collect public opinions.B.To kick off the environmental decade.C.To change public attitudes.D.To protect human beings and nature.11.What do you think the author will discuss later?A.Earth Day celebrations have grown and spread around the globe.B.EPA protects human health and our natural environment.C.The environmental laws come into effect.D.Senator Nelsons achievements are remarkable.D Today we know Antarctica as an extreme environment containing ice and snow. But new research provides evidence that the area had a rainforest in the past. The researchers collected a piece of Earth sediment(沉淀物) from under the seafloor off the coast of Antarctica. In the sediment, they discovered forest material that was estimated to be about 90 million years old. This would have been in the Cretaceous Period, when dinosaurs were the main land animals. The sediment was removed by scientists on the research icebreaker RV Polarstern in the Amundsen Sea near Pine Island Glacier. Johann Klages is a geologist with the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research in Germany. He was the lead writer of a study on the findings, published in the journal Nature. He said the sediment was collected from a depth of about 30 meters below the ocean floor. Klages said an examination showed that the material didnt form in the ocean. The researchers estimate that the areaabout 900 kilometers from the South Polehad average yearly temperatures of about 12 to 13 degrees Celsius. During the warmest summer months, average temperatures likely reached between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. The soil included fine dirt particles(颗粒) and hard clay, as well as substances linkedto at least 65 different kinds of plants, the study found. Klages added that the plants included trees, ferns and flowering plants. While no animal remains were found, Klages said there were likely dinosaurs, flying reptiles(爬行动物) and many insects in the environment. The research represents new evidence of the major climate changes Earth has experienced in the past and is currently undergoing today. The soil in the sediment dates back to the planets warmest period of the past 140 million years, with sea level about 170 meters higher than today. The researchers said that the rainforest environment in Antarctica was especially surprising because each year, the area experiences a four-month polar night when there is no sunlight to fuel plant life. Klages said no ice sheets were present during the time, but seasonal snowfall was likely.12. How did the researchers come to their findings?A. By collecting data on climate.B. By researching special plants.C. By exploring ice in Antarctica.D. By analyzing the Earth sediment.13. What did the researchers say about the sediment?A. Its material developed in the ocean.B. Its material formed on the land.C. It dates back to cold times in Antarctica.D. It contained different animal remains.14. What does the author indicate in the last paragraph?A. There were ice sheets 140 million years ago.B. Seasonal snowfall made the forest disappear.C. Antarcticas natural environment has changed greatly.D. Polar nights in Antarctica are getting shorter than before.15. What is the main idea of the text?A. Antarctica is getting warmer like before.B. Various wildlife once existed in Antarctica.C. Antarctica had a different history of climate.D. Researchers study the secrets of Antarctica.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Amid hopes of the digital age, it is easy to forget that old-fashioned human desire is as essential to achieving business goals as ever.
