But does this “scary” approach work? A new study suggests that fe

21、ar-based messaging fails to reduce risky driving behavior, while fear-based Virtual Reality (VR) films showing a violent collision may actually leadyoung drivers to take more chances behind the wheel.A team of psychologists in Belgium conducted a study of 146 students who had been legally driving fo

22、r less than five years. The researchers examined the impact of both content (fear vs. positive) and delivery mode (2D vs. VR) of driver safety intervention programs.By showing a serious consequence such as death, fear-based driver education films attempt to arouse a sense of fear and persuade young

23、people to drive more carefully. Positively framed films take the opposite approach, using humor and modeling safe driving behaviors that result in positive consequences.Three tests were used to analyze the risk-taking behavior of the young drivers before and after participating in the intervention p

24、rogram. One was a questionnaire. Another was a test on traffic, which asks participants to watch video clips of driving situations and choose whether they view a situation as too risky, for example, choosing whether to pass another car in icy conditions. A third test was used to measure the level of

25、 emotional arousal (such as feeling afraid) after watching a film.The results showed that participants who viewed the fear-based VR film reported riskier driving behaviors afterward, while those who viewed a positively framed VR film exhibited the greatest reduction in risky driving behavior. This f

26、inding supports other research that has shown that exposing participants to an extreme collision tends to activate defensive mechanisms, such as paying attention for a shorter time, disengaging, rejecting a message, and an increase in risky behaviors.“Fear appeals have been used in many health and e

27、nvironmental campaigns, such as smoking and anti-drug,” says Dr. Cutello of the research team. “Further experimental research is needed to determine whether the use of fear is effective.”28.

29、he result of the fear-based VR film in the study?A. Drivers show fewer risky behaviors.B. Drivers were less able to focus long.C. Drivers were unwilling to cooperate.D. Drivers became more open to advice.31. What does Dr. Cutellos words suggest?A. More research should be conducted.B. Fear-based educ

30、ation shouldnt be used.C. The result of his research is unconvincing.D. The use of fear education has been cut down.DMore than half the worlds population live in cities, and by 2050 the UN expects that proportion to reach 68%. This means more homes, roads and other infrastructure. In India alone, a

31、city the size of Chicago will have to be developed every year to meet demand for housing. Such a construction increase is a bad sign for dealing with climate change,because making steel and concrete, two of the most common building materials, generates around 8% of the worlds CO2 emissions ( 排 放 ).

32、If cities are to expand and become greener at the same time, they will have to be made from something else.Wood is one of the most promising sustainable (可持续的) alternatives to steel and concrete. It is not, however, everyday wood that is attracting the interest of architects.Rather, it is a material

33、 called engineered timber. This is a combination of different layers, each designed to meet the requirements of specific parts such as floors, panels and beams(横梁). Designers can use it to provide levels of strength like steel, in a product that is upto 80% lighter. In addition, engineered timber is

34、 usually made into large sections in a factory for future use, which reduces the number of deliveries to a construction site.According to Michael Ramage of the University of Cambridge, a wooden building produces 75% less CO2 than a steel and concrete one of the same size. However, if building with w

35、ood takes off, it does raise concern about there being enough trees to go round. But with sustainably managed forests that should not be a problem, says Dr Ramage. A family-sized apartment requires about 30 cubic metres of timber, and he estimates Europes sustainable forests alone grow that amount e

36、very seven seconds. Nor is fire a risk, for engineered timber does not burn easily. Besides, fireproofing layers can be added to the timber. All in all, then, it looks as if wood as a building material may get a new lease of life.32. Why is India mentioned in paragraph 1?A. To point out the severe p

37、ollution.B. To predict the population increase.C. To indicate the high degree of urbanization.D. To show the great need for building materials.33. What can be learned about engineered timber?A. It is produced at a low cost.B. It hardly appeals to architects.C. It helps save energy in transportation.

38、D. It possesses greater strength than steel.34. What does the underlined phrase “takes off” in the last paragraph mean ?A. Becomes cheaper.B. Gains popularity.C. Requires less work.D. Proves sustainable.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Making Future Cities More AttractiveB. Living in
