It s illegal for the police to attach a GI〕S unit to your car without your permission,as the US Supreme Court settled in 2012,But if the po?lice are in hot pursuit of a bank robber or other escaping criminals that threaten public safety* a GPS tracker is acceptable. But exactly how can the police GPS track a car that is moving fast?
The answer to that question comes from StarChase* a new police technology being used by a small but growing number of law enforcement agencies. It allows the police to fire 4. 5-inch gluecovered GPS bulletlike projectiles (發射體) from an air gun fixed in their police cars. If the GPS tracker makes contact with the escaping robber's car,it'll stick no matter how fast the vehicle is going. That way,the police will have a constant read on the car's location and heading. Aside from simply ap?prehending (逮捕) criminals,it's believed that this new technology could help save lives. If the police successfully fire a GPS unit at a speeding criminal,they can pull back from a highrisk chase. Chases can be incredibly dangerous to all involved,in?cluding innocent bystanders and other drivers. Once the GPS bullet connects* there's no need for the chase any longer.
Now,predictably,a GPS-loaded gun isn't cheap. Police departments need to pay about $ 5,000 per vehicle for the technology,and individual GPS bullets cost as much as $ 250 each. That may sound expensive,but remember: the alternative is often thousands of dollars in property damage,and great human cost in injury and lost life. According to StarCha.se,their GPS bullet system has an apprehension rate of 80% without any report of injury or property damage. If you'd like to learn more about the StarChase system,Popular Mechanics has just published a good article about it. There's also plenty more information available at the company's website.

Plans to expand wind energy into the most scenic parts of Ger?many are meeting increasing opposition across the country.
Antiwind campaigners are angry that areas including the forests made famous by the tales of the brothers Grimm are among the targets for new turbines (渦輪機) .For the first time they have formed a national opposition group to thwart the expansion. They say the expansion will damage forests and tourism across the country.
Germany has started a massive expansion of renewable energy since the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 in Japan. The government decided to reduce atomic plants and instead increase the opportunities for green power. As a result,solar farms,biogas plants and wind parks are booming. In 2013,22% of Germany's electricity was generated by renewable energy. Wind has played a major part in this change,making up half of the renewable energy in 2013,and the public has been generally supportive. To date,a majority of the 23,000 wind turbines in the coun?try have been built in the flat northern and eastern parts of the country. But now the focus of expansion is on the areas of dark forests in the central and southern ar?eas of Germany.
One such region is the Rheinhessen in the northern part of the state of Hesse. This is the home of the magical tales of Sleeping Beauty? Rapunzel and others,made famous in the books of the brothers Grimm. This scenic place is a magnet,attracting hundreds and thousands of tourists from all over the world. But now there are also plans to build up to 200 turbines in this scenic place!
Ann-Kathrin Blankenberg is a PhD student and an opponent of the plans. "It is not because thus is the area of Sleeping Beauty she says. "I want the green movement,I want green technology,and I don't want nuclear power—but they should be made in the right way and not by destroying the forests."
The campaigners argue that putting wind turbines in this area makes no sense. The wind speeds are low and the area is home to some extremely rare birds inclu?ding the endangered black stork. Campaigners say building turbines here would be disastrous for the birds.
5. The underlined word "thwart" can be replaced by " ”.
A. support B. prevent C. increase D. promote
6. What percentage of Germany's electricity was generated by wind in 2013?
A. 11%. B. 22%. C. 50%. D. 60%.
7. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The author is against building more wind turbines.
B. The public prefers wind energy to nuclear energy.
C. Most Germans object to building wind turbines all over Germany.
D. The central and southern areas of Germany are rich in wind energy.
8. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Wind parks are increasing rapidly all over Germany.
B. The Rheinhessen is famous for the tales of Sleeping Beauty.
C. Expanding wind energy into the land of Sleeping Beauty causes controversy.
D. Building wind turbines in the land of Sleeping Beauty area makes no sense.
