How to escape from a car in water

“If you get on your phone and call your parents or your sister, or 911, you will die,” says Robert May, a 21-year-old veteran(老兵) of the Indiana State. No one else will arrive in time: you have to save yourself.

Move quickly. Minivans(微型货车) might float for as long as10 minutes. 1. In a study from the University of Manitoba, three passengers were able to exist with a child mannequin(人体模型) through a single driver-side window in just 3 seconds.

Unbuckle(揭开)your seat belt, lower your window and climb out, ideally onto the roof of the vehicle. 2.Unfasten them from the backseat, pull them into the front and push them out of your window, oldest ones first. In May’s experience, electric car windows will continue to work after falling into water. 3.

Don’t open the door, water will flood in. Once full of water, the vehicle will sink fast. 4.Vehicle submersions (淹没) have one of the highest death rates of any type of single-motor-vehicle incidents, responsible for 400 deaths a year in North America.

After you get on top of your car, figure out if it makes sense to stay put or swim for dry ground. 5.Just get out first, May says.

A. From there, call for help

B. You will be then totally out of danger.

C. Research has been done to confirm this.

D. If there are children present, attend to them first.

E. In one study, a 65-passanger bus sank in nine seconds

F. Still, keep a small glass-breaking tool on your key ring, just in case

G. However, the chances of survival are highest if you get out in the first 60 seconds

Most of the sandstorms that had swept China last year came from foreign land, a Chinese official in charge of desertification(荒漠化) control said on Monday. And the invasions(入侵)could partly explain the frequent sandstorms in the country in recent years despite its achievements in desertification control.

Since the start of last spring, the north and northwestern Chinese regions had been hit by 17 sandstorms, of which, a dozen came from foreign land.

Situated in the central Asia sandstorm region, one of the world’s four largest sandstorm sources, China also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast Asia. The other three major sources are in Africa, North America and Australia.

The land suffering from desertification has been decreasing by 7,585 square　 kilometres annually in China, and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1,284 square kilometres a year.

The shrinkage(收缩)forms a clear contrast to the fact that the land suffering from desertification and sandy feature was added by 10,400 square kilometers　 and 3,436 square kilometers late last century, respectively.

Currently, the desertification land in China makes up 2.64 million square kilometres, accounting for 27.46 percent of the nation’s land, and its sandy land totals 1.74 million square kilometres, accounting for 18.1 percent of the country’s total.

1.What does the underlined word “decreasing” mean in Paragraph 4?

A. Going down.　　 B. Going up.

C. Coming from.　　 D. Taking up.

2.Where do most of the sandstorms in China come from?

A. The northwestern Chinese regions.　　 B. The northern Chinese regions.

C. The western part of China.　　 D. Foreign countries.

3.Which of the following is believed to be the sand source to northeast Asia?

A. Mongolia.　　 B. Africa.

C. China.　　 D. Australia.

4.What can we infer from this passage?

A. The land in China suffering from desertification has been increasing greatly.

B. China has made achievements in its own desertification control.

C. The desertification land makes up nearly half of China’s territory.

D. Little progress has been made in controlling desertification in China.

高二英语单词拼写极难题查看答案及解析

Last year, I lived in Chile for half a year. I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager. I had good days and bad days I didn’t understand.

Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp. When I arrived there, I was scared. It was so different from what I was used to. There were lots of dogs on the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and little to do for entertainment. Rain was not seen very often, earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.

I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class. But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock. I couldn’t speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.

Most exchange students experience this like me. Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression (敌对心理) towards the people to lack of appetite(食欲). I was required to overcome all difficulties.

As time passed, everything changed. I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food. I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun. Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people. And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.

But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain. I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture. I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.

1.The author came to Chile last year with the purpose of ________.

B. Because it was full of dangers like earthquakes and windstorms.

C. Because its living conditions were worse than what he was used to.

D. Because it was not convenient for him to shop there.
