1 . As reported in JAMA Surgery, the researchers discovered that e-scooter(电动摩托车) injury rates had increased dramatically in just four years, rising from 6 per 100,000 in the population to 19 per 100,000. Of the estimated 14,651 e-scooter-related injuries in 2018, 4,658, or 32%, involved the head. “While most people recover from head injuries, there is going to be a subset with long-term disability and life changes,” said Dr. Benjamin Breyer.

Dr. Benjamin Breyer of the University of California, Los Angeles, pointed to a 2019 analysis of the data from two hospitals in Southern California, which found just 4.8% of injured e-scooter riders were wearing helmets.

Dr. Joann Elmore, a professor of medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, believed that most e-scooter users are probably unaware of the risks. To make the point, she described a photo taken by a colleague. “There were two riders on an e-scooter,” she said. “No one had shoes on. There were no helmets. And the woman in front had a baby in a baby carrier.”

The new report highlights the need for more research on new technologies, said Dr. Guohua Li, a professor of epidemiology(流行病学).

“Just as there is a global network of experts working on infectious diseases, there needs to be a similar program devoted to the surveillance(监视，监察) and prevention of injuries caused by merging technologies products and lifestyles, such as e-scooters, e-sports, etc.,” Li said in an email.

“The challenge for researchers and policymakers is to keep up with the ever-changing society and protect the public from unnecessary harm caused by new technologies and products without hindering innovation,” he added.

4 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1 个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

On Sunday, a bus in Chongqing fell into the Yangtze River,     1     left 15 people dead. The accident     2    (cause) by a fight between an angry passenger and the bus driver.

A woman passenger failed     3    (get) off at the right bus stop. She asked the driver to stop the bus and let her get off, but the driver refused. A quarrel then occurred, with both sides   using unkind     4    (word). Five minutes later, she struck the driver on the head with her smartphone, and the driver fought back with his right hand. Within two seconds, the driver took back his hand. However, he     5    (lose) control of the bus before he realized it. The bus hit a red car, and fell into the river.

    6     is very basic common sense that the lives and safety of the whole bus depend upon the driver, but the woman attacked the driver because of her own fault. On     7     other hand, the driver didn’t stay calm. As a driver     8    (responsibility) for the whole bus, he should have stopped the bus by the roadside to ensure safety while under attack. It was     9    (extreme) reckless(鲁莽的) to fight back.

I wonder why none of the passengers took action to stop the fight.     10     any one of the passengers had stepped forward bravely, the tragedy might have been prevented.

●Drivers speeding
