The move is an attempt to prevent drones endangering air safety，as the number of complaints about errant(偏离的) flyers has skyrocketed in recent months，the FAA said. “We are certainly seeing a significant increase in reports，” Huerta，administrator of the FAA，said.“Clearly，this is an industry that is taking off.And there are a lot of activities taking place in the national airspace system.” Drones are taking to the skies in groups，and the number of tiny flyers is expected to multiply in the coming years.Amazon and Google aim to use drones to deliver commercial goods in the next decade.Already this year，pilots and others have reported 100 complaints about drones a month，roughly double the rate of complaints last year，the FAA said.Many of those complaints are about close calls，in which drones narrowly miss other aircraft. The FAA bars people from flying drones within 5 miles of an airport，or higher than 400 feet above the ground.But increasingly，drone pilots are breaking those rules.In August，for instance，two airplanes landing at Kennedy International Airport came within 100 feet of a drone flying at a height of roughly 800 feet.When such drones violate(侵犯) airspace，the government currently has no way to locate their operators. The Transportation Security Administration(TSA) and the FAA are working out the details，but right now，the new registry wouldn’t require drones to carry trackers.And it wouldn’t institute a policy of “geofencing”，which involves creating marked-off safe spaces where drones would automatically be deactivated. “Unless a drone crashes，it could be difficult to identify tiny flyers from sight alone.But our biggest challenge so far has not been identifying the drone itself.It’s been connecting it back to the person who’s using it，” said Foxx，secretary of the TSA. 语篇解读　这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了美国联邦航空管理局FAA宣布了一项新法律，无人机爱好者将被要求向政府注册他们的飞机，否则将面临处罚。 1．Why did the FAA announce the law? A．To promote drones’ business services. B．To regulate drones for airspace security. C．To adjust the flight direction of errant drones. D．To charge people for personal use of airspace. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，美国联邦航空管理局宣布这项法律是为了加强无人机空域安全监管。故选B项。 2．What does the underlined word “bars” in paragraph 5 mean? A．Frees. B．Saves. C．Distracts. D．Prohibits. 答案　D 解析　词义猜测题。根据第五段的第二句可知，无人机驾驶员违背了这些规定，第三句举例说明违背规定的具体行为，无人机飞行的高度和范围都不符合规定，由此推知，美国联邦航空管理局禁止人们在高于地面400英尺的上空驾驶无人机，即画线单词bars为“禁止”的意思。故选D项。 3．What is the major problem that the TSA faces concerning drones? A．Building safe drone airspace. B．Tracking down the drone pilots. C．Publicizing current flight rules. D．Planting trackers on the drones. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第三段最后一句和最后一段最后两句可知，TSA在无人机方面面临的主要问题是追踪无人机驾驶员。故选B项。 4．What can be the best title for the text? A．Drones Will Get People in Trouble B．America Is Expanding Drone Industry C．Complaints About Drones Continue to Pour in D．Flying Unregistered Drones Will Be Illegal in the US 答案　D 解析　标题归纳题。根据文章大意以及第一段可知，文章主要讲的是无人机爱好者必须要将他们驾驶的无人机向政府注册，否则将面临处罚。故文章最好的标题是“在美国，驾驶未注册的无人机将是非法的”。故选D项。 Ⅱ.完形填空 Five days before Christmas，police officer Lima was sent to a local Stop and Shop for a reported theft.The accusation(指控) was that two females were 1 some items at the self-checkout but bypassing other items and 2 those items.The two females and two children were already 3 by the security guard over there.

Obviously，this family was in real need.While Lima firmly 8 following the law，he decided to cut them a break and not to 9 them. The two females，consequently，were very grateful but kind of 10 because generally，in that same situation there would probably be a different outcome and they’d be 11 .
