Danger in the dert
That day we were deep in Chile’s Atacama Dert. There the 31 could often be compared to Mars. Our team of four female microbiologists watched as a car full of curious men pulled up beside us. Becau we were strangers in a(n) 32 place, our minds immediately jumped to ways we could protect ourlves. So, 33 , our Chilean fellow guide lifted the strong tool she’d been using to dig up plant roots. The rest of us tried to look braver than we felt.
We had come to this dert to conduct DNA studies on giant hortails that somehow grow well in one of Earth’s driest places. We were arching for plants in the most remote locations, where they would be 34 by human activities such as mining and agriculture.
We’d been warned that the trip could be dangerous. Becau we were traveling so far from fuel sour
ces, we were told to take along a can of gas. Our destination was at the end of a(n) 35 single-lane dirt road lined with burned-out vehicles that had not successfully negotiated the steep downslope.

We had found the amazing plants and their bright green stocks 37 over our heads. They aroud the 38 of ancient wetland plants. The men approached as we finished collecting our samples. We waited tenly as a man 39 the car and walked toward us. To our surpri and relief, he politely invited us to visit their village—they wanted to show us a lovely church of which they were proud.

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phras marked A, B,
C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phra that best fits the context.
Beside pencil sharpeners and calendars in classrooms throughout Minnesota’s Lakeville Area Schools, there are now big blue boxes with a red button and the word POLICE.The button nds a text message to emergency correspondents, alerts the rest of the school to potential danger, and 41 1,200 pounds of magnetic (磁性的) force to keep the door shut.
It’s one of the measures that Michael Baumann has employed to 42 the schools in his district and protect against active shooters since he became supervisor in 2017. He hired four more advirs to improve mental-health rvices. He established a team to monitor 43 threats of violence. He spent $14.4 million installing the emergency-alert system and building panels into walls that are designed to stop bullets—all 44 helping students and teachers survive an active shooter.
“Everybody goes to bed and thinks, ‘That’ll never happen in my school district. ’ Well, I can tell you as a supervisor, that’s the 45 dream,” says Baumann, who previously rved in the Army. “I felt like it was my 46 to do what I could.”

And many politicians, after indicating that they are 49 to support gun-safety lawmaking, have argued instead that heightened physical curity measures are necessary to prevent future attacks.
50 , experts say it’s no t clear that such measures actually make schools safer. Rearch shows that the number of deadly shootings at schools has incread since 2012, during a period in which protective measures also 51 . There also isn’t clear evidence that school resource officers (SROs) improve safety. SROs were 52 in Uvalde and in Parkland before the gunmen entered the schools, but failed to stop tho shootings.
“When we add metal detectors, obrvation cameras, incread police prence, active-shooter drills, and we turn schools into this mix of castles and 53 ,” says Bryan Warnick, an education professor at Ohio State University.
Although many school districts invest in curity in the hopes of preventing shootings, some worry th
at reinforcing schools ultimately makes 54 responsible for solving the gun-violence outbreak.
“Schools are 55 with trainings and new procedures,” Warnick says. “It’s a larger social problem of easy access to guns, of lack of access to mental-health care.”
