SHANGHAI（Reuters） - A stampede（踩踏）killed at least 35 people and injured 43 during New Year's Eve celebrations in Shanghai，on the city's popular waterfront tourist attraction known as the Bund（外灘），authorities said.
   The Shanghai government said that large crowds started to stampede in Chen Yi Square on the Bund just before midnight，with authorities working to rescue and aid the wounded.
   It was not immediately clear what triggered the stampede.The official Xinhua news agency said many of the injured were students.
   The government said on its official microblog（微博）that an inquiry had begun，with city leaders rushing to the scene and to hospitals to visit the injured.An emergency meeting would be held to ensure stepped-up safety measures were taken throughout the city.
   Photographs on Weibo，the Chinese version of Twitter，showed densely packed crowds of revelers（狂歡者）along the Bund，which is lined with buildings from Shanghai's pre-communist period on the bank of the Huangpu River.
   In some photographs，rescue workers were seen trying to resuscitate victims lying on the pavement while ambulances waited nearby.
   Authorities had shown some concern about crowd control in the days leading up to New Year's Eve.They recently canceled an annual 3 D laser show on the Bund that last year attracted as many as 300，000 people.
   At dawn on Thursday，there were still small crowds of revelers trying to find taxis home and workers were clearing up trash strewn around the Bund.There was little sign of the mayhem that had broken out just hours earlier.

1．Throughout Europe golf has been popular for many years．A recent report says that in Great Britain alone，700 new golf courses（球場(chǎng)） will have to be built over the next ten years to meet people's needs．
This is all good news for golf lovers，but it worries those who want to protect the environment．Their argument is that the new courses are disturbing the balance of nature．Woods，ponds and fields are being dug up to make way for the courses．The birds and animals that used to live there are being killed or forced to leave．The amount of water that a club uses to keep its courses in good condition is reducing the amount of water available for industrial and other uses．The chemicals used to control insects are sinking into the underground water．
There may be some truth in this，but it is not the whole truth．The days are long past when building of any kind was allowed in beautiful places with no thought for the environment．Planning permission，nowadays，is as strict for golf courses as it is for any other type of development．Before any such project is given the go-ahead，many things are studied．It is only when it is clear no harm will be done to the area that the builders are allowed to move in．
A strong case can even be made that golf courses are actually good for the areas where they are built．Courses are usually built in the areas which are not areas of natural beauty．The new courses often make the area look livelier．To make holes more difficult，trees are planted and lakes are filled in around greens．Not surprisingly perhaps，it is not unusual to find that，within months of a course being completed，a lot of animals and birds have moved in．
Obviously，careful thought has to go into the design of the new courses．As few changes as possible should be made to the natural environment．Woods and wildlife should be also protected．But this can be，and is being，done．There is no reason why golfers and nature cannot live peacefully together．

（1）What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2？

A．The rules for playing golf．
B．How to protect the environment．
C．The disadvantages of building golf courses．
D．Whether golf courses should be built or not．
（2）What is TRUE about building a new golf course nowadays？

A．It takes up too much land．
B．A lot of trees have to be cut down．
C．It is easy to get planning permission．
D．Many things will be taken into consideration．
（3）According to Paragraph 4，golf courses

．
A．make local areas look beautiful
B．provide more jobs for local people
C．a(chǎn)re harmful to the local environment
D．waste too much water and money
（4）Which best describes the author's attitude in the text？

A．Uninterested．
B．Worried．
C．Hopeful．
D．Doubtful．

2．Two young giant-panda twins born in the United States have returned home to China，but are struggling to adapt to the language and food．
The 3-year-old sisters，Mei Lun and Mei Huan，were the first surviving panda twins to be born in the United States，and were returned to China from Zoo Atlanta on Nov.5．But the pair still understand English better than Chinese，and prefer American biscuits to Chinese bread．
A zoo-keeper said that his main concern is that the pair are so addicted to American biscuits that everything they eat-from bamboos to apples-has to be mixed with biscuits．They even want to snack on （零食） biscuits when drinking water．
The zoo-keeper is trying to wean them off their biscuit habit，gradually replacing the American food with Chinese bread．Mei Huan is adapting，but Mei Lun doesn't want to touch the unfamiliar bread．
Mei Lun is the livelier of the two，often jumping onto the roof and hanging upside down from a rail，but her slightly younger sister Mei Huan is calmer，preferring to sit still，observe her new environment and occasionally snack on bamboo．
A language barrier is also reported．While the pair respond to their own names，and understand some English phrases such as"come here，"they don't understand the Sichuan dialect of Chinese．
The news caused some laughter on Chinese social media，with some users commenting that the pandas would soon get used to Sichuan's famously spicy cuisine．

（1）Based on the passage，which statement do you think is right？

A．The panda twins can fit in well in Sichuan．
B．The panda twins are only fond of Sichuan food and dishes．
C．The panda twins have been used to the new environment very quickly．
D．It's hard for the panda twins to get used to the new environment soon．
（2）What does the underlined part"wean them off"in the fourth paragraph mean？

A．help them get rid of．
B．help them form．
C．help them strengthen．
D．help them keep．
（3）From the passage we learn that of the two sisters，

．
A．Mei Huan mainly eats bamboo
B．Mei Lun is living a more active life
C．Mei Huan is not smarter than Mei Lun
D．Mei Lun is as quiet as her younger sister．

3．Imagine you're standing in line to buy an after-school snack at a store.You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food.Next，you have to pay.But instead of scanning a QR code（二維碼）with your smartphone，you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint.Or，a camera scans your face，your eyes or even your ear.
   Now，this type of technology might not be far away.As technology companies move away from the traditional password，biometric（生物識(shí)別的）security，which includes fingerprint，face and voice ID，is becoming increasingly popular.
   In 2013，Apple introduced the iPhone 5s，one of the first smartphones with a fingerprint scanner.Since then，using one's fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become commonplace，bringing convenience to our lives.And since last year，Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smartphones，while Apple's new iPhone X can even scan a user's face.But despite its popularity，experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we'd imagined. "Biometrics are ideally good，but in practice，not so much" said John Michener，a biometrics expert.
   When introducing the new iPhone's Face ID feature，Phil Schiller，Apple's senior vice president，said，"The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhone X and unlock it with their face is about one in a million." But it's already been done.In a video posted on community website Reddi，two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face.And they aren't even twins.
   "We may expect too much from biometrics，" Anil Jain，a computer science professor at Michigan State University，told CBS News. "No security systems are perfect."
   Earlier this year，Jain found a way to trick biometric security.Using a printed copy of a thumbprint，she was able to unlock a dead person's smartphone for police，according to tech website Splinter. "It's good to see biometrics being used more，" Jain told CBS News，"because it adds another factors for security.But using multiple security measures is the best defense."

（1）What is the latest technology to unlock a smartphone according to the article？

A．QR code scanning.
B．Face scanning.
C．Fingerprint scanning.
D．Eye scanning.
（2）What's a major problem of the iPhone X's Face ID system？

A．It takes too long to unlock the phone.
B．It often fails to recognize its owner's face.
C．Face data could be used for other purposes.
D．Different faces could be used to unlock the same phone.
（3）What does Anil Jain think of biometric security？

A．It's as secure as traditional measures.
B．It has caused much trouble for police.
C．It should be used with other security measures.
D．It is perfect without any room for improvement.
（4）The author wrote this article mainly to

.
A．describe the popularity of biometrics
B．show how biometrics has changed our lives
C．point out various problems with biometrics
D．discuss the security problems of biometrics
