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 (挡风玻璃) 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类阅读,作者由孩子的话引出系安全带的话题及人们的一些错误看法.在本文中作者通过反驳人们对于安全带的三个错误的看法,来告诉我们系安全带的重要性.

解答 24-27 CBAC
24.C细节理解题.根据第二段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.可知爸爸忙着在天黑前赶回家,这样他就可以出去跑步了,但父亲忘记系安全带,这是好多美国人会犯的一个错误.由此推知,爸爸匆忙回家的理由是他想进行体育锻炼.故选C.
25.B细节理解题.根据第五段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"可能造成伤害和死亡.其原因是当发生交通事故一个人如果从车中跳出来,着路时就会十分危险.同时从车中跳出必然要穿过挡风玻璃或车门,就可能造成伤亡.故选B.
26.A细节理解题.根据Myth Number Two部分中:Safety-bets"trap"people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.可知人们误认为,如果扎上安全带,当汽车着火或沉入水中时,驾驶员就无法逃出车外.故选A.
27.C归纳理解题.从整篇文章看,作者通过反驳人们对于安全带的三个错误的看法,来告诉我们系安全带的重要性.故选C.

点评 在本文中作者通过反驳人们对于安全带的三个错误的看法,来告诉我们系安全带的重要性.本文主旨鲜明,很容易在文中找到答案.做题时要注意文章的首段和每一段的首句或尾句,因为它们往往就是文章的主题句.阅读中要注意要点之间的关系.然后带着问题,再读全文,找出答题所需要的依据,完成阅读任务.

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 (提议) setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels (分贝) 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.
