题目内容
阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
According to the American Automobile Association(美国汽车联合会), since 1964 all cars sold in the United States have been equipped with seat belts.(They are also called safety belts.)Many studies of automobile accidents have shown that safety belts can save lives.One study showed that 40% of those killed in accidents could have been saved if they had been wearing seat belts.
Unfortunately, belts are worn only by a small percentage of drivers and passengers, about fifteen percent in cities, and only nine percent in small towns.And safety belts cannot protect people who do not wear them.
In order to find out what kinds of people do wear seat belts, a study was made in several cities of the United States.The following facts were learned about those who use safety belts;
1.They do not smoke while driving.
2.They have had more education than nonusers.
3.They know someone who was injured(but not killed)in an automobile accident.
Advertisements based on these facts have been printed in newspapers and magazines in order to teach people the importance of using seat belts.But these advertisements have not helped much.Some people believe there should be a law requiring drivers and passengers to use safety belts.In Australia, where there is such a law, deaths in auto accidents have decreased twenty-four percent.

解析:
American Automobil Association reported that all cars sold in America had been equipped with safety belts, which can protect people from injury in case of an accident.If properly used, seat belts can reduce the percentage of being killed.But people don’t realize the importance of wearing seat belts, especially those who take to smoking and those who are not well educated.If they had witnessed the scene of the accident, they would have known how seat belts protect people.In my opinion, it is necessary for people to wear seat belts.The government can take measures to be sure that people are aware of how important it is to wear seat belts.By printing advertisements in newspapers and magazines, it can make the importance clear.Besides, the government can even pass a law requiring seat belts to be used. |
阅读下面的短文,然后从A-F选项中,为每一小段选择合适的标题, 并把答案写在答案卷上。
A. The most common problem is a “wandering” mind B. Selective listening is also a mental barrier C. Listening isn’t an easy skill to master D. Attitude can also influence good listening E. Noise and background music makes listening more difficult F. Listening is also related to the level of the listener’s knowledge |
1._____________
Listening is not as easy as someone thought. Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear. Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty-five percent after a few days. So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training. To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening.
2.___________
If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s a good reason. The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak. The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks at a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute. That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time.
3.____________
If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively. Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones.
4.____________
If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate. Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen. Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks.
5.___________
When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear. For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking. However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks. They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them. In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear.
