First two hours,now three hours—this is how far in advance authorities are
recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight,at least at some major
U.S.airports with increasingly massive curity lines.
Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming curity protocols in return for
incread safety.The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804,which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea,provides another tragic reminder of why.But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too little curity in return undermines public support for the process.And it should:Wasted time is a drag on Americans' economic and private lives,not to mention infuriating.
Last year,the Transportation Security Administration(TSA)found in a cret
constantine
—both fake and real check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons
—past airport curity nearly every time they tried.Enhanced curity measures since then,combined with a ri in airline travel due to the improving economy and low oil prices,have resulted in long waits at major airports such as Chicago's O'Hare International.It is not yet clear how much more effective airline curity has become —but the lines are obvious.
Part of the issue is that the government did not anticipate the steep increa in airline travel,so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line.Part of the issue is that airports have only so much room for screening lanes.Another factor may be that more people are trying to overpack their carry-on bags to avoid
checked-baggage fees,though the airlines strongly dispute this.
There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire:Enroll more people in the PreCheck program.PreCheck is suppod to be a win-win for travelers and the TSA.Pasngers who pass a background check are eligible to u expedited screening lanes.This allows the TSA to focus on travelers who are higher risk,saving time for everyone involved.TSA wants to enroll 25 million people in PreCheck.
It has not gotten anywhere clo to that,and one big reason is sticker
shock:Pasngers must pay$85 every five years to process their background checks.Since the beginning,this price tag has been PreCheck's fatal flaw.Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level.But Congress should look into doing so directly,by helping to finance PreCheck enrollment or to cut costs in other ways.
The TSA cannot continue diverting resources into underud PreCheck lanes
while most of the traveling public suffers in unnecessary lines.It is long past time to make the program work.
21.The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804 is mentioned to
[A]explain American’s tolerance of current curity checks.
[B]stress the urgency to strengthen curity worldwide.
[C]highlight the necessity of upgrading major U.S.airports.
[D]emphasize the importance of privacy protection.
22.Which of the following contributes to long waits at major airports?
[A]New restrictions on carry-on bags.
[B]The declining efficiency of the TSA.
[C]An increa in the number of travellers.
[D]Frequent unexpected cret checks.
23.The word“expedited”(Liner 4,Para.5)is clot in meaning to
[A]quieter.
[B]cheaper.
[C]wider.
[D]faster.
24.One problem with the PreCheck program is
[A]a dramatic reduction of its scale.
[B]its wrongly-directed implementation.
[C]the government’s reluctance to back it.
[D]an unreasonable price for enrollment.
25.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
[A]Less Screening for More Safety
[B]PreCheck–a Belated Solution
[C]Getting Stuck in Security Lines
[D]Underud PreCheck Lanes

“The ancient Hawaiians were astronomers,”wrote Queen Liliuokalani,Hawaii's last reigning monarch,in 1897.Star watchers were among the most esteemed members
of Hawaiian society.Sadly,all is not well with astronomy in Hawaii today.Protests
have erupted over construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope(TMT),a giant obrvatory that promis to revolutionize humanity's view of the cosmos.
At issue is the TMT's planned location on Mauna Kea,a dormant volcano worshiped by some Hawaii
ans as the piko,that connects the Hawaiian Islands to the heavens.But Mauna Kea is also home to some of the world's most powerful telescopes.Rested in the Pacific Ocean,Mauna Kea's peak ris above the bulk of our planet's den atmosphere,where conditions allow telescopes to obtain images of unsurpasd clarity.
Opposition to telescopes on Mauna Kea is nothing new.A small but vocal group of Hawaiians and environmentalists have long viewed their prence as disrespect far sacred land and a painful reminder of the occupation of what was once a sovereign nation.
Some blame for the current controversy belongs to astronomers.In their eagerness to build bigger telescopes,they forgot that science is not the only way of understanding the world.They did not always prioritize the protection of Mauna Kea's fragile ecosystems or its holiness to the islands'inhabitants.Hawaiian culture is not a relic of the past；it is a living culture undergoing a renaissance today.
Yet science has a cultural history,too,with roots going back to the dawn of civilization.The same curiosity to find what lies beyond the horizon that first brought early Polynesians to Hawaii's shores inspires astronomers today to explore the heavens.Calls to disasmble all telescopes on Mauna Keerwin
a or to ban future development there ignore the reality that astronomy and Hawaiian culture both ek to answer big questions about who we are,where we come from and where we are going.Perhaps that is why we explore the starry skies,as if answering a primal calling to know ourlves and our true ancestral homes.
The astronomy community is making compromis to change its u of Mauna Kea.The TMT site was chon to minimize the telescope’s visibility around the island and to avoid archaeological and environmental impact.To limit the number of telescopes on Mauna Kea,old ones will be removed at the end of their lifetimes and
