D
There are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power (原子能)
First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail. Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.
Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes non-radioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.
Third, there may occur the danger of a leak(泄漏) or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. However, it can happen.
Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster(灾难) is extremely high.
71. Which of the following is FALSE?
A. It is possible that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.
B. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land.
C. The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake.
D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.
72. The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are ___ .
A. easy      B. impossible        C. reasonable      D. ineffective
73. What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The power station is a safe place.
B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.
C. The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.
D. By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.
74. What is this passage about?
A.Uses of nuclear power.                B.Dangers from nuclear power.
C.Public anger at nuclear power.          D.Accidents caused by nuclear power.
75. As for the possible dangers of nuclear power, ______.
A. none of them can be completely avoided
B. effective measures have been taken to avoid them
C. man will never be able to do anything about them
D. one is usually the cause of another

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( 神话)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 30 miles per hour

  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 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

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

5.What is the advice given in the text?

A.Never drive faster than 30 miles 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. 

 

  Fifteen people were killed and 38 others injured in a road accident early Wednesday morning in Enshi, Central China's Hubei Province.
