traffic news，or check on the Internet to get uptominute information on traffic.If the route you want to take is heavy with traffic，you can choose another.‎ Look for a different route permanently.Most traffic jams occur on busy roads.Using country roads could see you avoiding a lot of traffic.Although the distance you may have to travel is further，it can work out quicker.‎ Set your car radio to receive traffic bulletins.Many new car stereo systems(汽车音响系统)are equipped with a radio system by which you can hear the traffic channel.This way you can get the latest traffic information and change your journey if necessary.‎ ‎________.Most traffic jams usually occur during rush hour，so try to avoid this time period if possible.Some jobs offer flexible working hours so that you can travel to work outside of rush hour.Some jobs even allow you to work from home so as to avoid commuting altogether.Ask your manager to see what you can do if traffic is a problem for you.‎ Use public transport

Japan on March 11 damaged two nuclear power stations.Officials are now working to prevent dangerous radiation from poisoning the air in the area surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi plant. The Japanese government has ordered people living within 12 and a half miles of the plant to evacuate, and asked those living 12 and a half to 20 miles away to stay indoors.‎ Nuclear power plants create energy using a chemical reaction that produces large amounts of heat. Reactors (反应堆) in Japan have many long, thin rods，called fuel rods (棒), which must be kept cool.[来源:Zxxk.Com]‎ If the reactor's fuel rods aren't cooled, the reaction can burn out of control. That's what happened at the two Japanese plants after the quake caused a power failure and the cooling systems malfunctioned (发生故障). This overheating could cause radiation to escape and sicken many people.‎ Japan‎'s 54 nuclear reactors are built to withstand the many small or moderate earthquakes the country faces each year. But Friday's earthquake was one of the most severe earthquakes ever recorded.‎ People exposed to unsafe levels of radiation have a higher than normal risk of getting cancer. The Japanese government has been distributing potassium iodide (碘化钾) pills to people in the surrounding areas to protect those who may have come in contact with radiation from the power plant. The pills flood the body with healthy potassium iodide. The potassium iodide works to crowd out “bad” iodine in the body that may have been poisoned by radiation.‎ On Tuesday morning, 750 workers left the Fukushima Daiichi plant. However, 50‎ ‎ workers stayed behind to use seawater to cool the fuel rods. These dedicated employees are risking their own lives to save many others.‎ On Thursday, officials used helicopters, fire trucks, and water cannons to spray water on the reactors to cool the fuel rods. But it's not clear whether these efforts were successful. Officials are now working on a power line to restore electricity to the plant. They hope this will help restart the plant's cooling system and stop the fuel rods from leaking radiation.‎ ‎【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了日本大地震后的核泄漏事故。‎ ‎6．The underlined word“evacuate”in paragraph 1 probably means________.‎ A．help B．rest C．stop D．leave 解析　词义猜测题。根据下文提到的住在12.5～20英里以外的居民待在家里可推知，住在‎12.5英里之内的居民必须撤离。‎ 答案　D ‎7．What can we learn from the text?‎ A．The local people are scared and ready to run away.‎ B．The earthquake led to many deaths and caused damage to roads.‎ C．The Japanese government has found a kind of pill that can treat cancer.‎ D．The two stations were damaged because their cooling systems didn' t work.‎ 解析　事实细节题。根据第三段中的“If the reactor's fuel rods aren't cooled，the reaction can burn out of control.That's what happened at the two Japanese plants after the quake caused a power failure and the cooling systems malfunctioned.”可知，大地震使得核电站电力中断，制冷系统出现故障，燃料棒温度过度，导致核电站发生爆炸。‎ 答案　D ‎8．In the last paragraph，the author mainly states________.‎ A．lack of help B．international aids C．the government's efforts D．the result of the disaster 解析　事实细节题。最后一段讲述了政府人员调集各方面的人力物力，想方设法修复核电站的制冷系统，阻止核泄漏，因此答案为C。‎ 答案　C ‎9．This text is most probably taken from________.‎ A．a research paper B．a newspaper report C．a class presentation D．a chemistry textbook 解析　推理判断题。文章主要介绍了日本大地震导致核电站受损，以及由此产生的一系列后果。文章比较简洁完整，符合新闻报道的文体特点。‎ 答案　B ‎10．What is probably the best title for the text?‎ A．Japan's Nuclear Disaster B．Heroes in the Disaster C．Nuclear Power Plants Closed D．Japan's Big Earthquake and Tsunami 解析　主旨大意题。纵观全文，文章介绍了日本核泄露事故产生的原因、危害以及政府和工人采取的抢救措施，整篇文章都是围绕核泄露事故展开，因此答案为A。‎ 答案　A
