14.Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father."But,Dad,you can't be healthy if you're dead."
Dad,in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run,had forgotten to wear his safety belt--a mistake 75% of the US population make every day.The big question is why.
There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago.The following are three of the most common.
Myth Number One:It's best to be"thrown clear"of a serious accident.
Truth:Sorry,but any accident serious enough to"throw you clear"is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing.And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield (擋風(fēng)玻璃) or door to do it.Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are"thrown clear."
Myth Number Two:Safety belts"trap"people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth:Sorry again,but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents.People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations,not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three:Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30miles per hour.
Truth:when two cars traveling at 30mph hit each other,an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10meters.

24.The reason Father was in a hurry to get home was that heC.
A.wasn't feeling very well
B.hated to drive in the dark
C.wanted to take some exercise
D.didn't want to be caught by the police
25.According to the text,to be"thrown clear"of a serious accident is very dangerous because youB.
A.may be knocked down by other cars
B.may get seriously hurt being thrown out of the car
C.may find it impossible to get away from the seat
D.may get caught in the car door
26.Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believeA.
A.the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident
B.they will be unable to think clearly in an accident
C.they will be caught when help comes
D.cars catch fire easily
27.What is the advice given in the text?C
A.Never drive faster than 30miles an hour.
B.Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.
C.Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.
D.Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.

分析 本文是一篇人物故事類閱讀,作者由孩子的話引出系安全帶的話題及人們的一些錯誤看法.在本文中作者通過反駁人們對于安全帶的三個錯誤的看法,來告訴我們系安全帶的重要性.

解答 24-27 CBAC
24.C細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段Dad,in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run,had forgotten to wear his safety belt--a mistake 75% of the US population make every day.可知爸爸忙著在天黑前趕回家,這樣他就可以出去跑步了,但父親忘記系安全帶,這是好多美國人會犯的一個錯誤.由此推知,爸爸匆忙回家的理由是他想進行體育鍛煉.故選C.
25.B細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第五段Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are"thrown clear".可知,"thrown clear"可能造成傷害和死亡.其原因是當發(fā)生交通事故一個人如果從車中跳出來,著路時就會十分危險.同時從車中跳出必然要穿過擋風(fēng)玻璃或車門,就可能造成傷亡.故選B.
26.A細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)Myth Number Two部分中:Safety-bets"trap"people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.可知人們誤認為,如果扎上安全帶,當汽車著火或沉入水中時,駕駛員就無法逃出車外.故選A.
27.C歸納理解題.從整篇文章看,作者通過反駁人們對于安全帶的三個錯誤的看法,來告訴我們系安全帶的重要性.故選C.

點評 在本文中作者通過反駁人們對于安全帶的三個錯誤的看法,來告訴我們系安全帶的重要性.本文主旨鮮明,很容易在文中找到答案.做題時要注意文章的首段和每一段的首句或尾句,因為它們往往就是文章的主題句.閱讀中要注意要點之間的關(guān)系.然后帶著問題,再讀全文,找出答題所需要的依據(jù),完成閱讀任務(wù).

19.Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings.It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions,ocean drilling,and ship engines.
Some scientists have proposed (提議) setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels (分貝) in oceans.They have observed that noises at the level can frighten and confuse whales.
A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that loud noises could seriously injure some animals.They found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing.This seriously affected the whales'ability to exchange information and find their way.Some of the whales even died.
Some researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels.They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals.However,many scientists agree that noise is a greater danger than they believed.They want to prevent noises from harming creatures (生物) in the ocean.
29.Concerning the effect of noises on whales,which of the following is TRUE?B
A.They are deaf to noises.
B.Noises at a certain level may hurt them.
C.Noises could kill them.
D.Noises will cause them to lose their eyesight.
30.Some scientists think that the noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels wouldA.
A.prevent them doing their research work
B.benefit them a lot in their research work
C.do good to their health
D.increase the industrial output
31.According to the last paragraph,what will scientists most probably do in the future?D
A.They will study the effect of different noises in the sea.
B.They will work hard to make no noise.
C.They will never do any scientific research in the sea.
D.They will protect sea animals from harmful noises.

People often come up across the word"SOHO"in the newspaper or magazine.But not everyone knows how it means.As the matter of fact,"SOHO"means"Small Office/Home Office".Now many people use computer,so it is possible for you to work at their homes.They needn't go to offices.They can usually work fast and better at home.By work at home,they save a lot of time and energy.They needn't spend time on the road but they won't feel tired or angry because the bad traffic.Maybe in the future,more and more people would be"SOHO"workers.
