Question

Accidents happen almost every day. Some accidents are not serious and some are. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. It is wrong for people to think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways, or even at work places. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported, people come to think that there are few accidents which happen in homes.

    There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from high rise flats. Children often fall over while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip (滑跤) on wet floors if they are not careful.

     Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances (電器) such as rice cookers which make life easy for the modern house wives. These appliances can kill if they are not used in the proper way. Gas stoves (煤氣灶) used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used. They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, even fires.

    But all such accidents can be stopped if we are careful and follow simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to. It is safer to get them repaired by an electrician (電工).

1.D考查推理判斷。根據文章第一段中的It is wrong for people to think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways, or even at work places. Home accidents are just as common.可知，人們認為意外事故只發(fā)生在路上或者工作場所是錯誤的，家庭意外事故也很普遍�？梢酝浦�意外事故無處不在。故選D。

2.B考查細節(jié)理解。根據選項的內容可知，在路上被車撞倒不可能在家中發(fā)生，故選B。

3.C考查細節(jié)理解。根據文章最后一段中的it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to. It is safer to get them repaired by an electrician (電工).可知，自己修電器是不明智的，應該找電工維修。故選C。
