3 . New Zealand’s government recently announced it will help pay for poorer families to replace their old cars with cleaner hybrid(混合动力的)or electric vehicles. The government said it plans to spend $357 million on the test program.

The move is part of a wider plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Greenhouse gases are believed to cause warming temperatures in the Earth’s atmosphere. New Zealand plans to provide aid for businesses to reduce emissions and have buses that run on environmentally safe fuel by 2035. The government also plans to provide food-waste collection for most homes by 2030.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardem said in a statement, “We’ve all seen the recent reports on sea level rise and its influence right here in New Zealand. We cannot leave the issue of climate change until it’s too late to fix.” The plan is a step toward New Zealand’s stated goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Reaching net-zero emissions means not creating more carbon in the atmosphere than oceans and forests can remove. Ardern said that reducing dependence on traditional fuels would help protect families from extreme price increases. The plan also sets a goal of reducing total car travel by 20 percent over the next 13 years. The programs will be paid for from a $2.8 billion climate emergency response fund.

Officials said that over time, money collected from polluters would pay for the programs rather than taxes from families. Some critics of the plan say it continued to be less restrictive on New Zealand’s huge agriculture industry. Agriculture creates more than half of the nation’s total greenhouse gas emissions. But the industry is also important to the economy as the nation’s biggest export earner.

David Seymour is the leader of New Zealand’s ACT political party. He said that some of the announced programs are proven to be ineffective and have been tried and failed overseas. Seymour added that people should be able to choose how they reduce emissions through the market-basedd emissions trading plan.

7 . The year 2017 was marked by some rare scientific events and discoveries.

A rare eclipse（日食）covers the US

Among the rare events of the year was a total solar eclipse visible across the United States on August 21.It had been 99 years since a similar eclipse took place in the U.S. Hundreds of thousands of people across the country took time to see the moon partly or completely hide the sun. Many went to places like Carbondale,   Illinois,   Oregon and Charleston to see the total eclipse. Some people cannot see the eclipse,   for cloudy weather messed up the view in some places,   but many others had clear skies.

Is warming climate making storms worse?

Many scientists are concerned that rising world temperatures will cause more dangerous weather events. And the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva says 2017 could be among the three hottest years on record. Three powerful ocean storms struck Caribbean islands and the southern US in 2017,   which brought more attention to the issue. Hurricane Harvey caused unbelievable flooding to the Houston area in the state of Texas. And Hurricanes Irma and Maria left severe damage in Florida,   Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.

Climate experts say rising temperatures will make ocean storms—like hurricanes and typhoons—sharper and with higher wind speeds. Rising sea levels could also make ocean storms worse as waves from the sea force water further inland becoming a danger to highly populated coastal cities.

A good reason to believe in UFOs

Fans of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs,   might be glad to know that the United States Defense Department had a secret program to make research on the unknown secret. From 2007 to 2017,   the department spent $ 22 million researching unexplained objects seen in the air,   including some reported by military pilots. News reports question whether the search for answers about UFOs continues. Reid,   spokesman from the Defense Department,   answered reporters on Twitter this way：“The truth is out there. Seriously.”

A．The sunshine was unpleasantly bright.	B．It was completely hidden by the cloud
C．It happened too far from Earth to watch.	D．The sun was partly hidden by the moon.

2. What issue did scientists focus more on after the 2017 natural disasters?

A．The effects of global warming.	B．The fast rising of the sea level.
C．The increase of the wind speeds.	D．The danger of living in coastal cities.

3. What can be inferred about UFOs from the last part of the text?

A．They are absolutely out there in space.	B．Observation on them is not going on.
C．Search for their existence will continue.	D．People’s questions on them are absurd.
