1First two hours,now three hours-this is how far in advance authorities arerecommending people show up to catch a domestic flight,at least at some majorU.S.airports with increasingly massive security lines.Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security procedures inreturn for increased safety.The crash of EgyptAir Flight 804,which terrorists mayhave downed over the Mediterranean Sea,provides another tragic reminder ofwhy.But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too little security inreturn undermines public support for the process.And it should:Wasted time is adrag on Americans'economic and private lives,not to mention infuriating.Last year,the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)found in a secretcheck that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons-both fake andreal-past airport security nearly every time they tried.Enhanced securitymeasures since then,combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improvingeconomy and low oil prices,have resulted in long waits at major airports such asChicago's O'Hare International.It is not yet clear how much more effectiveairline security has become-but the lines are obvious.Part of the issue is that the government did not anticipate the steep increase inairline travel,so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line.Part ofthe issue is that airports have only so much room for screening lanes.Anotherfactor may be that more people are trying to overpack their carry-on bags to avoidchecked-baggage fees,though the airlines strongly dispute this.There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodelingairports or rushing to hire:Enroll more people in the PreCheck program.PreCheck is supposed to be a win-win for travelers and the TSA.Passengers whopass a background check are eligible to use expedited screening lanes.This allowsthe TSA to focus on travelers who are higher risk,saving time for everyoneinvolved.The TSA wants to enroll 25 million people in PreCheck.It has not gotten anywhere close to that,and one big reason is sticker shock:Passengers must pay $85 every five years to process their background checks.Since the beginning,this price tag has been PreCheck's fatal flaw.Upcomingreforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level.But Congress shouldlook into doing so directly,by helping to finance PreCheck enrollment or to cutcosts in other ways.The TSA cannot continue diverting resources into underused PreCheck laneswhile most of the traveling public suffers in unnecessary lines.It is long past timeto make the program work.21.The crash of EgyptAir Flight 804 is mentioned to[A]explain American's tolerance of current security checks.[B]stress the urgency to strengthen security 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 increase in the number of travelers.[D]Frequent unexpected secret checks.23.The word "expedited"(Line 4,Para.5)is closest 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]Underused PreCheck Lanes英语（一）试题4.（共14页)
