Passage 1
This season, the bushfires in Australia have burned more than 12.35 million acres of land. At least 25 people have been killed and 2000 homes destroyed. According to the BBC,this is the most casualties(fit)from wildfires in the country since 2009. The University of Sydney estimates that 480 million animals have died in South wales alone.
Zeke Hausfather, an energy systems analyst and climate researcher at Berkeley Earth,said warmer temperatures and extreme weather have made Australia more susceptible to fires and increased the length of the fire season. The drier conditions combined with record
hightemperatures in 2019 created main conditions for the disastrous fires. Australia' s fires were worsened by the combination of those two. 2019 was the perfect storm for being the warmest year on record for Australia and the driest year on record for Australia, Hausfather added on Friday.
Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist at the Us National Center for Atmospheric Research,
said warmer ocean temperatures are also contributed to more variable weather around the
world. Trenberth believes that global warming contributed to energy imbalances and hot
spots in the oceans, which can create a wave in the atmosphere hat locks weather patterns in
places, causing longer rain events in Indonesia, for example, and at the same time
contributing to drought in Australia. He said that once an area experiences drought conditions
for two months or more, it increases the risk of fires catching and spreading. Those changing
weather patterns due to global warming make drought events longer.
Climate experts stress that climate change is not the only factor in the severity of
wildfires. How land is managed can also impact the amount of fuel available for fires.
Practices like controlled burns and other factor can impact the risk to people and property,
such as warning systems and the type of development in a given area Changing those policies
has great potential to limit future damage from wildfires along with changes to how fire
management resources are dispatched

A. To manage natural resource
B. To predict the seriousness of Australia fires

Passage 2
Cars could soon be communicating with each other using 5G to make drivers aware of upcoming dangers, scientists claim The ultra-fast mobile Internet would allow for rapidinformation transmission and could make drivers aware of black ice pot holes or other dangers up ahead.
Several car manufacturers are already integrating 5G into their vehicles including as atool to welcome the coming of self-driving vehicles. Experts believe the high-speedconnection will also improve the reliability and capability of automated vehicles to the pointwhere they will be safer than the manual cars being driven today. They predict the number of road traffic accidents-which according to the World Health Organization (WHO) account for more than 1.3 million deaths and up to 50 million people injured worldwide every year will drop thoroughly as a result.
Dr Dimitrios Liarokapis, a member of the research group, said: "With the help of 5G, anearly warning system that alerts(…报警) drivers is possible within the next few years. Carsthat are close enough to the danger area will send warning messages to other cars aroundthem using short-range communication technologies, but also to-cars further away using 5G fast and reliably. Then those cars will transmit the same information to cars near them and so on, forming a joined-up, multi-vehicle communication chain that stretches far and wide.
Earlier this year it revealed
Automotive giant Ford is already working on connected cars. Earlier this year it revealed its intention to fit 80 percent of its 2020 vehicles with technology that warns drivers about up- coming road accidents, bad weather and traffic jams. The system pools data from other connected road users, emergency services and the authorities and sends it from the cloud directly to the car. Alerts are shown on the car's dashboard display warning the driver about what lies around the corner.
