2021年大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)閱讀題：新聞報(bào)道

Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000passively resisting protestors Friday in an attemptto break up the largest antinuclear demonstrationever staged in the United States. More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on theconstruction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclearpower plant scheduled to provide power to most ofsouthern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest wascontinuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up thepressure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that theproject was unsafe in the densely populated area, would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrationswould go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial systemwould collapse.

Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the powerproject and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years."This project willbegin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Thosewho break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with accordingto the law," he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle thedisturbances.

The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators brokethrough police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read"No Nukes is Good Nukes,""Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power," and "Stop Private Profits from PublicPeril." They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by police failedto dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstratorsone by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their ownpower. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbingthe peace.
