Question

阅读理解 　　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 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 case 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 speed of less than 30 miles per hour(mph)． 　　Truth：When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters． (1) Why did Elizabeth say to her father, “But, dad, you can’t be healthy if you’re dead”? [　　] A． He was driving at great speed． B． He was running across the street． C． He didn’t have his safety belt on． D． He didn’t take his medicine on time． (2) The reason Father was in a hurry to get home was that he ________． [　　] A． wasn’t feeling well B． hated to drive in the dark C． wanted to take some exercise D． didn’t want to be caught by the police (3) According to the text, to be “thrown clear” of a serious accident is very dangerous because you ________． [　　] 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 (4) Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe ________． [　　] 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

Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．C;3．B;4．A;
解析：

(1)	从第一段中“Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run,had forgotten to wear his safety belt”可知其爸没有系安全带。
(2)	关键句是文中的he could go for a run，与之意思最相近的是take some exercise。
(3)	“…but any accident serious enough to‘throw you clear’ is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing．”(但任何严重到把你摔出车子的事故，结果也同样严重到摔到地上)，可知“因为人摔出车子而严重受伤”与原文意思相吻合。
(4)	根据“Safety belts ‘trap’ people in cars that are burning or sinking in water．”这种假象和文后的真相更正对比，说明有些司机不系安全带是因为他们认为系安全带妨碍司机在事故中脱身。
