On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted that 42% of Americans could be overweight by 2030. Our expanding waistlines lead to not only a medical problem, but according to a recent article in The New York Times, it could also endanger personal situations 一 in an airplane crash, for example.

The New York Times’ Christine Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are adequately constructed to protect overweight travelers. Government standards for airplane seat strength (强度)first set more than 60 years ago一 require that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg). Today, the average American man weighs nearly 194 pounds (88 kg) and the average woman 165 pounds (75 kg). Negroni reports:

“If a heavier person completely fills a seat, the seat is not likely to behave as intended during a crash,” said Robert Salzar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly. "

“Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said “ If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said, “those people who are seated nearby could be endangered by ‘ the uncontrolled movements of the passenger’.”

Most complaints about airplane seats focus on their lack of comfort and high ticket price and whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times’ article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Investigators of the issue got in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to comment on the problem. Experts agreed that crash testing should be done with overweight dummies (人体模型). Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said.

Fortunately, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at the National Transportation Safety Board, the board’s investigators have never seen an accident involving a commercial plane in which the weight of a passenger is a problem.

1.What is the article in The New York Times mainly concerned with?

A. The size of airplane seats and seat belts.

B. Safety of overweight airplane passengers.

C. Airplane crashes involving commercial planes.

D. A medical problem caused by being overweight.

2.Robert Salzar would probably agree that ______ .

A. overweight passengers should buy two seats

B. the government should help produce bigger planes

C. standards for airplane seat strength should be raised

D. passengers should know how to protect themselves

3.We can learn from the text that ______ .

A. airplane seat makers have taken action now

B. there are few complaints about airplane seats

C. those seated near the overweight may suffer too

D. only a small number of airplane accidents involve the overweight

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Why do passengers feel anxious about flying?

B. Will 42% of Americans be overweight by 2030?

C. When will the overweight enjoy their flight?

D. Are airplane seats safe enough for the overweight?

11.Tonight,my piano recital(钢琴演奏会) was the most important thing in my family.My grandparents were coming by plane to hear me play.Even my busy Aunt Dianne,who is on TV every night reading the news,was coming.
But one thing was for sure.I would never win an award for my piano playing.And
that's just because the more I practiced,the more nervous I got.So there I was,on the stage,in my beautiful dress,and I sat down at the piano.But when I started to play,I hit a wrong note.I told myself to start over.But then I hit the wrong note again.It was as if I hadn't practiced at all.
Finally the disaster was over.I ran off the stage.I couldn't understand why audience(观众) were clapping.But they were.My mom and dad had flowers for me and we were all supposed to go out for a nice dinner,but I couldn't.I just wanted to go home and cry and never go anywhere again.After we went back home,Aunt Dianne just came in and sat down on the side of my bed.
"It was my first night on the air,"she said."I had never been on television before and I made a mistake.I mispronounced my name and the name of the news show.And you know what?No one even noticed but me.Just like tonight,no one noticed-just you."Aunt Dianne was right.I think we are harder on ourselves than anyone else is.Maybe I will leave my room.And maybe I'll play the piano again.

12.There has been much discussion recently about reducing the weight of English in China's high-stake tests such as the national college entrance examination.It is argued by some applauding the recent change to reduce the importance of English in tests so that it will lead students to focus more on learning Chinese.The TV program Writing in Chinese has exposed the problem that students and the general public cannot write in Chinese as they used to do.
Some blame the design of the curriculum for giving English an equal or greater amount of emphasis,which might have contributed to the failure in teaching Chinese.But this is probably not a fair accusation since children in English speaking countries cannot spell either.
I doubt that studying English in itself hurts the study of Chinese.In fact,high achievers in English or another foreign language are more likely to be high achievers in Chinese.It has been proved many times in recent Chinese history that those capable of using a foreign language are also masters in their mother tongue.Qian Zhongshu,Lu Xun and Lin Yutang are just a few examples.
Another trend of thought for curriculum reform is related to the perception of"worth".It is true that English is one of the subjects that students do spend too much time on,with pitiful results.This makes some doubt if it is worth giving it priority.But this is not a sound argument either as students still need to study things that matter more to their future in spite of challenges learning English presents to them.
Improvements in Chinese language education should not be achieved by sacrificing another important subject.There should be a robust(健康的) foreign language education program,as a foreign language improves a student's future job prospects.Bashing(抨击) English education as a waste of time or using it as a goat for failures in Chinese education are both harmful tendencies.
To be constructive,we ought to start a dialogue on ways to make improvements in learning outcomes so that students'time learning English is spent more effectively.There are a few things that could improve English education,such as assessment design,learner motivation and teaching style,
I am sure there are many other areas where changes can greatly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of English learning.The public discourse at present is a little oversimplified.People are arguing for or against English having less weight in major tests,when the dialogue should be taken a step further,to the improvement of learning or teaching methods that may benefit the teaching of other subjects as well,Chinese included.

63.In paragraph 3 Qian Zhongshu,Lu Xun and Lin Yutang are mentioned toB.
  A.show respect for their capabilities of learning languages
  B.prove English and Chinese are not contradictory
  C.confirm the importance of learning English in China
  D.tell the readers English Education is to blame
64.According to the passage,which of the following statements is right?C
  A.The TV program Writing in Chinese is very popular at present.
  B.Good results of learning English are not worth so much time.
  C.Some are in favor of attaching less importance to English in exams.
  D.Sacrificing English can improve Chinese language education.
65.In the writer's opinion,what should be done to solve the argument?D
  A.Increasing time spent in learning Chinese.
  B.Increasing time spent in learning English.
  C.Reducing the weight of English in examinations.
  D.Improving the learning outcomes effectively.
66.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A
A.English education is still important in China.
B.Chinese education is more important in China.
C.English contributes to the failure in teaching Chinese              
D.Ways to make improvements in learning Chinese.
