第二部分 阅读理解（满分20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。
A
Shiny things absorb less heat when left in the sun. This means that if the Earth could be made a little shinier it would be less likely to suffer global warming. Ways to brighten it, such as adding nanoscale specks（纳米级） of salt to low clouds, making them whiter, or putting a thin haze of particles into the stratosphere（平流层）, are the field of “geoengineering”（地球工程）. A small band of scientists which have mostly been using computer models to study the subject. Some of them are now proposing outdoor experiments—using seawater-fed sprayers to churn out particles of the exact size needed to brighten clouds, or scattering sulphur particles（硫粒子） from underneath a large balloon 20km up in the sky.
The scientists hope to understand some of the processes on which these technologies depend, as a way of both measuring their possibility (can you reliably make the proper amount of sea salt brighten clouds?) and assessing their risks (how much damage to the ozone layer might a stratospheric haze do, and how might such damage be minimized?). The experiments would be far too small to have any climatic effects. The amount of sulphur put into the stratosphere by the experimental balloon would be 2% of what a passenger jet crossing the Atlantic emits in an hour.
However, many scientists doubt whether geoengineering experiments have any effects. And some environmentalists say that such experiments reflect the hubris（傲慢）of humans, who believe they can toy with nature.
Geoengineering is not an alternative to relieving climate change by cutting carbon emissions. Even if emissions do start to fall, the cuts will lake decades to have any effect so temperatures are likely to go on rising for some time. The planet is not getting cooler and the pressures on the climate are unlikely to go away. It is therefore not too hard to imagine a world, decades from now, in which emissions are falling but temperatures are rising steeply and the ability to adapt to them has been stretched too far. An additional way to stabilize temperatures might then seem appropriate. Geoengineering offers that possibility.
1、The aim of the outdoor experiments in paragraph 1 is .
A．to relieve the global warming B．to brighten the clouds
C．to test the computer models D．to study geoengineering
2、The geoengineering climate experiment would hardly take any climate effect because .
A．scientists aren't sure whether sea salt can brighten clouds
B．geoengineering would minimize the damage to the ozone layer
C．the amount of sulphur emitted by a balloon is very small
D．a passenger jet emits much more sulphur than a balloon does
3、Even if carbon emission is reduced right away, .
A．global warming will be relieved B．climatic pressure will be removed
C．the temperature will remain stable D．global warming will last for years
4、We can infer from the passage that .
A．passenger jets are a major cause of global warming
B．scientists don’t show due respect for the environment
C．geoengineering is better than cutting carbon emissions
D．cutting emissions isn't enough to relieve climate change

B
Companies that employ workers have an interest in keeping the workplace safe.Job-related injuries are something that responsible employers avoid.They take the time and use company resources to make sure that the people who come to work each day are safe.
Not only does this make good sense from a moral standpoint,but it also makes good financial sense.If a worker is injured on the job,it costs the company in terms of lost mam tours,increased insurance costs,worker’s compensation premiums（赔偿金）,and legal posts.
Productivity is lost when other workers have to stop doing their jobs to deal with the situation.Even after the injured worker has been sent home or taken to hospital,other employees may be unfocused or need to take time off from work in the result of the incident.
When a workplace is safe,workers feel more comfortable and confident when they are in that environment. Productivity gets a promotion,and profits follow suit.Absence also drops when employers take steps to carry out an effective safety program.
Investing in a good safety program brings with it other benefits too.When employees feel safe in the workplace and absence rates are kept down,they can focus on serving the company’s customers properly.Many companies offer produces or services that are similar to those that other companies carry or provide.Customers will decide which companies they want to deal with based on which one they feel provides the best customer service.Increased absence means longer wait times and customers are quite prepared to move on to another company they feel will be able to help them in a more timely manner if they are not getting the level of attention that they deserve.
Everyone in the workplace has a duty and a responsibility to do whatever they can to keep the working environment safe.Managers should deal with employee concerns about safely issues in an appropriate manner.
1、What bad effect does an incident have according to the text?
A．Workers may refuse to work again.
B．The quality of products may decline.
C．Workers may be hard to concentrate.
D．The company may close down.
2、What do we know about the safe workplace form Paragraph 4?
A．It can inspire workers’ creativity.
B．It can bring workers a higher pay.
C．It can put an end to worker’ absence.
D．It can bring the employer more money.
3、On what condition will the customers move on to another company according to the text?
A．If they can’t get a safer product.
B．If they have to wait for a long time to get deserved attention.
C．If they feel the company can’t provide a safer workplace for them.
D．If they find the company provides the some products as others offer.
4、Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A．How Employees Can Protect Themselves
B．Companies Are Ensuring Employees’ Safety
C．Why Safety Is Important in the Workplace
D．How to Create a Safer Workplace
