Most cars have seat belts as part of their equipment. Seat belts protect drivers and passengers in case of accidents. They also reduce the effect of a crash on the body. 小題1: Worldwide, the devices have protected up to a million people.
America first recognized the invention of an automobile seat belt in 1849. The government gave a patent to an engineer named Edward Claghorn of New York City so that others would not copy his invention of a safety device.  小題2: This early version of safety belt was said to include hooks and other attachments for securing the person to a fixed object.
Other inventors followed with different versions of the seat belt.  小題3: It resulted from the work of a Swedish engineer, Nils Bohlin. His three-point, lap and shoulder seat belt first appeared on cars in Europe 50 years ago.
Nils Bohlin recognized that both the upper and lower body needed to be held securely in place. His invention contained a cloth strap（帶子）that was placed across the chest and another strap across his hips.  小題4: 
Volvo was the first company to offer the modern seat belt to its cars. This company also provided use of Nils Bohlin's design to other car-makers.
 小題5: He received a gold medal from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 1995. He died in Sweden in 2002.
A．The Swedish engineer won many honors for his seat belt.
B．Claghorn was a promising young engineer with many honors all his life.
C．The design joined the straps next to the hip.
D．There are many companies adopting Nils Bohlin's invention of the belt.
E. Safety experts say that seat belts save thousands of lives a year in America alone.
F. But more than 100 years passed before the current seat belt was developed.
G. Claghorn called his invention a safety belt.

小題1:E
小題2:G
小題3:F
小題4:C
小題5:A

小題1: E
【試題解析】根據(jù)下一句Worldwide, the devices have protected up to a million people.在全世界范圍安全帶挽救了一百多萬(wàn)人的生命。故E項(xiàng)：在美國(guó)安全帶挽救了成千上萬(wàn)的人的生命。先說(shuō)安全帶在美國(guó)的作用，然后再說(shuō)安全帶在全世界的作用。
小題2: G
【試題解析】根據(jù)前面一句The government gave a patent to an engineer named Edward Claghorn of New York City so that others would not copy his invention of a safety device.這一句交代安全帶的發(fā)明者申請(qǐng)了專利，接下來(lái)這一句應(yīng)該是發(fā)明者對(duì)這一發(fā)明的命名。故G項(xiàng)符合上下文。
小題3: F
【試題解析】根據(jù)前一句Other inventors followed with different versions of the seat belt.可知其他的發(fā)明者有不同版本的安全帶的式樣，接著這一句應(yīng)該敘述現(xiàn)在的安全帶的式樣的確定。故F項(xiàng)：100多年過(guò)去了，現(xiàn)在安全帶的式樣被確定下來(lái)了。
小題4: C
【試題解析】根據(jù)前一句His invention contained a cloth strap（帶子）that was placed across the chest and another strap across his hips可知是在敘述現(xiàn)在的安全帶的式樣，C項(xiàng)The design joined the straps next to the hip.與上下文相符。
小題5: A
【試題解析】根據(jù)下一句He received a gold medal from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 1995.可知安全帶的發(fā)明者獲得了很多榮譽(yù)，包括1995年的the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences。故A項(xiàng)符合上下文。

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
I had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people made a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I officiated(主持) at two funerals for two elderly women. 小題1:. At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故) woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I had not insisted her going to Florida, she would be alive today.  小題2: . It is my fault.”
When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, we tend to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course, for example, keeping mother at home, would have turned out better.     小題3: 
There seem to be elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first lies in our belief that the world makes sense---there is a reason for everything that happens. 
The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen.小題4:. A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks.小題5: . When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely abandon that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.
A．That long airplane ride was more than she could take
B．After all, how could it have turned out any worse?
C．Life and dead is an unsolved mystery.
D．The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood
E.He cries, and someone comes to attend to him
F.Both died a natural death
G. They believe that they are responsible for what has happened.
