In the aftermath (余波) of a distressing incident in Chongzhou, a county-level city of Chengdu, where a 2-year-old child fell     1     to a violent Rottweiler attack, several cities across China are strengthening their dog management policies.

An investigation team in Chongzhou said on Tuesday that the kid’s been     2     after being transferred to West China Hospital of Sichuan University for further treatment, though a large     3     of money is in need for her to fully recover. An online fundraising campaign have launched and     4     raised 1.5 million yuan ($205,000) to help the little girl. On the other hand, the dog’s owner, surnamed Tang,     5     with raising prohibited breed of dog, has been caught by the police.

The incident has aroused widespread public     6    . One user on Sina Weibo called for the maximum penalty. “If these incidents aren’t harshly punished, many irresponsible dog owners will continue to neglect their responsibilities.”

To curb such incidents and enhance public safety, numerous regions are releasing strict dog management strategies. Regions like the Ebian Yi autonomous county (自治县) in Sichuan are taking decisive action     7     against unrestrained dogs. Unleashed dogs found in public spaces will be treated as strays and     8     being captured, and owners held accountable for any ensuing consequences. Similar     9     have been launched in Hefei, Anhui province, where unleashed dogs in public areas will face capture,     10     the importance of responsible pet ownership.

NINE people died and 43 were injured in two rear-end crashes on Shanghai’s S32 Expressway that occurred during heavy fog yesterday morning.

Two were       1       dead at the scene in one of the accidents, and five were found dead in the other. Two more people died in hospital, police said.

Police first received a report at 5:54 am that     2     vehicles had crashed on the S32, near a ramp of S2. The S32 links Shanghai with Zhejinag Province’s Jiaxing and Huzhou.

Two people were killed after getting out of their vehicle to see what was causing congestion ahead. They were hit by an out of control tanker, police said.

When police arrived at that scene, they found a further five people had been killed when a construction vehicle was crushed by two large vehicles from both front and back. The crash was about three kilometers away from the accident that killed the two people on the expressway. The injured were sent to local hospitals.

Some drivers reported that the road was very     3     and braking had led to vehicles losing control.

“The fog was very heavy,” an unidentified driver told Shanghai Television Station. “When I saw the accident ahead, I wanted to slow down and       4     . But once I hit the brake, the vehicle went out of control.”

Zhoupu Hospital treated 12 people. “One of the     5     died on the road to the hospital,” Ding Fuhao, a doctor with the hospital, told the television station. “Three were     6     injured.”

The city’s meteorological authority     7     an orange alert on heavy fog at 6:06 am, meaning     8    would be lower than 200 meters in some areas.

The dense fog hit coastal areas in particular, including Chongming Island, Pudong New Area, Baoshan and Fengxian districts. The alert was    9    at 9:44am. This was Shanghai’s first orange alert of heavy fog since the arrival of autumn.

Several expressways in the city were closed or subject to speed limits yesterday morning.

Pudong International Airport was also affected by the bad weather. The airport’s traffic was about 60 percent less than normal in the morning but picked up the    10     after the orange alert was canceled, the city’s television station said.

8 . SOUTH PARIS, Maine For eight students in the Wilderness Leadership class at Oxford Hills High School, a three-day weekend hike in the White Mountain National Forest sounded like a fun, challenging course requirement.

But when a storm dumped up to 3 feet of snow on western Maine, a harsh learning experience turned into a crash course in winter survival.

Reported missing from their scheduled meeting place in Gilead at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, the eight students and two teachers were not found until 11 a.m. yesterday [Monday], after a pilot spotted the group moving in rugged snow-blanketed area. The discovery followed an unsuccessful ground search by volunteers on snowshoes.

After the group was reported missing Sunday, volunteers hiked 3 miles into the woods to look for the students. The five-hour effort turned up nothing and the decision was made to wait until yesterday morning to also canvass the area by air.

A Maine Warden Service pilot lifted off and spotted the group close to their intended trail at about 11 a.m. Strong airflow prevented him from descending toward the hikers but the group clearly recognized the plane as part of a search team.

“They waved at the plane. They laid down, spread out, and waved,” said Mark Latti, a spokesman for the Maine Warden Service. “The pilot then guided a search party into their location.”

1. Before yesterday, the three-day weekend hike was supposed to be a _____.

A．fun and relaxing excursion	B．ridiculous course requirement
C．crash course for wilderness survival	D．challenging learning experience

2. The underlined word “canvass” in paragraph 4 probably means _____.

A．intrude

B．search

C．harvest

D．exploit

3. Which of the following is in the correct order?
① The group was reported missing.
② A pilot spotted the group in the snow-blanket area.
③ A rescue team arrived at the site of the accident.
④ A volunteer search group set out to look for the students.
⑤ The hikers waved to make themselves discovered.

A．①②④⑤③	B．①④⑤②③
C．①④②⑤③	D．①③④②⑤

4. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．The volunteers gave up the search at last because of the airflow.

B．The pilot succeeded in landing besides the hikers.

C．The hikers almost stuck to their planned route in spite of the heavy snow.

D．The search party went into the woods by air, and saved the students out.

10 . Where is Amelia Earhart?

Three theories

Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean, was attempting a round- the-world flight in 1937. She planned to land on the tiny Pacific Ocean island of Howland. She never arrived. Her fate, and that of her navigator (导航员)Fred Noonan, remains one of aviation’s (航空的)greatest unsolved mysteries. Researchers have spent millions of dollars investigating the case and several books have been published that examined different theories.

The official US position is that Earhart ran out of fuel and crashed in the Pacific Ocean. The radio log from aUS Coast Guard ship indicates that she must have been near Howland when contact was lost

Another theory says that Earhart could have crashed on a different island, called Nikumaroro, and died since the island is uninhabited.

Yet another theory claims she was captured while on a secret mission to the Marshall Islands in the North Pacific and eventually returned to the US with a new identity.

Lost and found?

The missing pilot

February 18, 2011

Amelia Earhart’s dried saliva (唾液)could help solve the longstanding mystery of the aviator’s 1937 disappearance, according to scientists who plan to take samples of her DNA from her correspondence. A new project aims to create a genetic profile that could be used to test recent claims that a bone found on the South Pacific island ofNikumaroro is Earharf s.

Justin Long, a Canadian whose family is partially funding the DNA project, points out that at the moment, anyone who finds parts of bones can claim that they are Earhart’s remains. According to Justin Long, Earhart's letters are the only items that are both proved to be hers and that might contain her DNA. Hair samples are one of the best sources of DNA, but no hair samples from Earhart are known. There was, in theory, a sample of Earhart's hair in the International Women’s Air and Space Museum in Cleveland, US. However, a 2009 study revealed that the sample was actually thread.

The remains of Earhart, her navigator Noonan, and their twin-engine plane were never recovered. But in 2009, a group of researchers found a bone fragment on Nikumaroro that they believed might have been from one of Earhart' s fingers. However, some scientists have suggested the Nikumaroro bone fragment isn’t human at all but may instead belong to a sea turtle that was found nearby.

The new Earhart DNA project will be headed by Dongya Yang, a genetic scientist at Simon Fraser University in Canada. Yang will work on four letters Earhart wrote to her family. Much of Earhart's correspondence was done by her secretary but the assumption is that Earhart must have sealed the envelopes of these personal letters herself.

B．To confirm if a bone belongs to Amelia Earhart.

C．To find out who Amelia Earhart often wrote to.

D．To locate Amelia Earhart’s remains accurately.

3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A．None of Amelia Earhart’s DNA has been collected so far.

B．Amelia Earhart took delight in writing letters to her family.

C．The Nikumaroro bone fragment belonged to Amelia Earhart.
