Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1A recent study led by researchers 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 fleet
12、s of yellow and blue taxis in Singapore suggested that yellow taxis have fewer accidents than blue taxis. The higher visibility （能见度）ofyellow makes it less difficult 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
13、whether there was a relationship between the color of a taxi and the number of accidents 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.They also studi
14、ed the economic effect of changing the color of the entire fleet of taxis to yellow. The Singapore taxi company involved in the study owns about 16,700 taxis in a ratio（比彳列）of one yellow to three blue taxis. If a commercial decision is made to switch from blue to yellow taxis, 76.6 fewer accidents w
15、ill occur per month or 917 fewer accidents per year.Assuming an average repair cost of $1,000 per car and a downtime of six days, the color of all taxis to yellow could produce an annual saving of $ 2 million.“We are eager to continue to validate （证实）the findings of our study by looking at the use o
16、f yellow in other types of public transport, such as school buses. For example, we hope to compare the accident rates of yellow school buses against those of other colors to find out if yellow is indeed a safer color fbr school buses.

More than 60 million of them are t
21、hrown away each day. Many of the plastic bottles end up in landfills or are burned with other waste products.A San Francisco start-up company called Rothys, however, turns this plastic waste into environmentally friendly shoes. Roth Martin is the companys co-fbunder. He explains how they turn plasti
22、c into soft material for womens feet. They take the plastic, clean it, and break it down into small pieces. Then they press them through a device that makes soft fibers. Those fibers are then combined together. This is done by a 3D machine. It is designed to reduce waste while making the shoes. The
23、knitted stuff and the inner part of the shoe are then attached to the shoes outer part, called the sole （鞋底）.This outer sole is also made from environmentally friendly material: responsibly sourced no-carbon rubber.Rothys shoes are sold online.

24、oe. They come in different colors and designs. They cost either $ 2 or $ 145 per pair, depending on the design. After American actress Gwyneth Paltrow discovered them last year, the demand for the shoes grew. Martin says there is no shortage of material to fill that demand. Were not going to run out
25、 of water bottles any time soon. So we have a limitless supply of material, and I think that is a good sign for our future.When the environmentally friendly shoes wear out, customers can return them at no cost to a company that uses therecycled materials to make other products.For now, the shoes are
26、 only available to be shipped in the United States. However, the company says it will add international shipping in the near future.1 How are used plastic bottles usually dealt with?A.

There have been a number o
30、f times in the past when its survival has been a question of touch and go.”nI believe that the long-term future of the human race must be in space”, he said.

31、 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year, has recently voiced many concerns about the future of life on Earth.If aliens visited us, the outcome would be as much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn*t turn out well for the Native Americans/ he said. nSuch advanced aliens wou

33、future is in space.*Getting to another planet will prove a challenge, not to mention colonizing it for humanity. Katherine Freese from University of Michigan told Big Think that the nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri which is 4.2 light years away. That means, if you were traveling at the spee
