30、in 2013, 891 U.S. fatalities were linked to rail travel, while 32,700 people were killed in highway accidents.“Train accidents are rare,” Dr. Zarembski, director of the railroad safety program, told The Huffington Post. “Accident rate in 2014 was 2.2 accidents per million train miles, this number ha
31、s been declining steadily.” But if you are still concerned about safety or if youre just curious about which part of the train is the safest place to sit science has an answer for that too.The front car of a train is the most dangerous place in the event of a head-on collision, while the last car is
32、 less safe if the train is rear-ended(追尾). In fact, trains are nine times more likely to derail than to hit another train or car head-on or to get hit from behind, according to the Federal Railroad Administration. The administration found that there were about 13,200 derailments from 2005 to 2014, c
33、ompared with about 1,450 collisions.Studies suggest that broken rails or welds are the leading cause of derailment, and these problems more often cause derailments near the front of the train. Therefore, choosing a car located in the middle, or one or two back from the middle of the train may be the
34、 safest bet, Ross Capon, president of the National Association of Railroad Passengers, told CBS New York.If you cant get a seat near the midpoint of a train, theres another potential safety factor you might want to consider namely, which way your seat is facing. “I prefer rear facing so that in most
35、 cases you are pushed back into the seat in the event of an emergency braking application,” Zarembski said.In general, aisle(过道) seats are safer than window seats, where a passenger is more likely to come in contact with broken glass or be thrown out of the train, Capon told CBS New York. Of course,
36、 in the very rare event of a catastrophic crash like Tuesdays, theres no guarantee that sitting in a certain place or facing a certain way means youll escape being injured.58. What does the underlined word “fatalities” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Deaths. B. Rates. C. Accidents. D. Carriages
37、.59. In the first three paragraphs, the author is trying to .A. describe objectively the serious consequences a derailment may bring aboutB. urge people to consider carefully whether to board a train in the futureC. impress on people the poor management of American railway linesD. persuade people wi
38、th statistics that it is still safer to travel by train60. After reading the passage, we can infer that it might be the safest to sit .A. front facing on a window seat in the front carsB. front facing on an aisle seat in the last few carsC. rear facing on an aisle seat in the middle carsD. rear faci
39、ng on a window seat one car behind the middleCAbout 5,500 years ago, one group of humans invented something truly revolutionary: the wheel. Almost overnight news of the innovation spread far and wide, and wheels became popular so quickly that some archaeologists say we cant be sure exactly where the
40、 wheel was invented.According to Eva Reindl at the University of Birmingham in the UK, stories like this tell us a lot about what makes us human. Surprisingly, its not that humans worked out how to make wheels thats important its the fact that other populations quickly caught on and copied the idea.
41、 Reindl and her colleagues say that a chimpanzee, gorilla or orangutan wont copy another apes(猿) inventions. Each ape, says Reindl, learns for itself how to solve a problem. These species lack our cumulative(累积的) culture they are constantly reinventing the wheel.They also find out that even though o
42、ur species relies on learning from others, it seems as youngsters, at least were still capable of thinking entirely for ourselves. In this particular field, humans and other apes are apparently born in the same state. Slightly paradoxically, Reindl says that finding similarities in the way humans an
43、d other apes are born can actually help us better define what really does make us unique as a species. This is because it highlights behaviors that we develop but that other apes do not.For instance, although we might start out life with the same sort of tool-using capability that a chimpanzee posse
44、sses, we soon begin to behave in a more sophisticated way precisely because we watch others and tap into the collective human wisdom that has accumulated down the generations. “My colleagues and I work from the standpoint that cumulative culture is probably uniquely human,” says Riendl. “But its a s
45、ubject of hot debate in the field right now.” On the other side of the debate are researchers like Christophe Boesch at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. “Our study of different tool selection in Tai chimps shows clearly that some important social component
46、is at work in how chimps learn to select tools. In this region, at least, the apes actually do learn some tool use by carefully copying those around them. We still have so much to learn about tool use in chimpanzees,” says Boesch including the complete range of tool use behaviors these apes show, ho
47、w common each behavior is, and how individual chimpanzees learn to use tools for themselves.Its not yet clear whether cumulative culture separates us from apes. The scientific jury clearly hasnt yet arrived at a decision. When consensus does emerge, well know whether our sister species share our abi
48、lity to imitate others or whether they are doomed to reinvent the same things over and over again.61. The stories like wheels invention are mentioned to show that .A. humans can figure out how to invent wheels B. humans can copy ideas and accumulate knowledgeC. apes arent smarter than human beings D. apes are capable of inventing the wheel62. What can we in
