At the top of the agenda were fundamental improveme
30、nts in the training of operators and the design of control systems for reactors. The International Atomic Energy Agency also chose the meeting on the Chernobyl accident to announce it would step up its safety checks of nuclear power stations. Up to that time, with more than 300 nuclear power plants
31、operating worldwide, the IAEA had sent safety review teams to inspect stations in only nine countries, mostly in the Third World. Now the emphasis would switch to reactors in the developed world, including the Soviet Union, US and Britain.According to regulations, an international safety review coul
32、d be undertaken by the IAEA only following a formal request from a member country. However, the meeting in Vienna produced a list of 14 recommendations for future action following the Soviet report on Chernobyl. The IAEA meeting said that better fire protection and more advanced techniques for firef
33、ighting were needed. The possibility of developing lightweight clothing to protect firefighters from radiation was of particular interest; so was the use of robot firefighters. The Soviet Union used minerals and sand to damp down the fires. Both Soviet and Western experts agreed there was no way of
34、knowing in advance if this would work. Luckily, it did.Decontamination (去除放射性污染) was another area where the international nuclear community was anxious to learn more from Chernohyl. The Soviet clean-up involved treating buildings and the ground around the reactor with special chemicals to reduce the
35、 spread of radioactive dust. Heavily contaminated soil was removed.At the final press conference about the Chemohyl accident, the leader of the Soviet delegation (代表团) claimed that Chernobyl would not be repeated. There would have to be greater efforts to make sure that the design of nuclear plants
36、eliminated the possibility of errors by operatorns. This would include making it difficult to override (使无效) safety systems, as happened at Chernobyl. It would also mean greater use of simulators (模拟装置) to train operators.（分数：8.00）(1).According to paragraph 1, nuclear experts thought that in order t
37、o make nuclear power safer the first thing to do should be _.（分数：2.00）A.to improve the training of operators and the design of the reactors control systemsB.to inspect nuclear power plants in the Third WorldC.to send safety review teams to all the developed countriesD.to hold a meeting on the Cherno
38、byl accident(2).At the meeting on the Chernohyl accident , the IAEA said that it would _.（分数：2.00）A.inspect all the nuclear power plants in the worldB.send more safety review teams to the developing countriesC.inspect nuclear power stations in another 9 countriesD.pay much more attention to the safe
39、ty conditions of the reactors in the developed countries(3).According to paragraph 2, in the Chernohyl accident _.（分数：2.00）A.the firefighters wore special lightweight clothing to protect themselves from radiationB.the fire was extinguished by robot firefightersC.nothing was used to put out the fire
40、because no one knew what could be usedD.minerals and sand were used to put out the fire(4).In the last two sentences of paragraph 2, both “this“ and “it“ refer to _.（分数：2.00）A.the fireB.the sandC.the use of minerals and sand to put out the fireD.the use of robot firefighters to put out the fire九、Pas

43、ell as the Royal Ballet(芭蕾舞团).
