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 US population make every day. The big question is why.
There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
Myth the 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 able 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 in cases where people are "thrown clear".
Myth Number Two: Safety-bets "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 in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.
Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren"t needed at speeds 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 metres.

答案
小题1:C
小题2:C
小题3:B
小题4:A
小题5:C
解析
小题1:句意理解题。从第二自然段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 US population make every day. 可知，他女儿说这句话的意思是他没有扎安全带。
小题2:细节题。从第二自然段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 US population make every day. 可知，他忘记扎安全带的原因是他想赶快回家跑步，即进行体育锻炼。
小题3:细节题。从第五自然段Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times 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。
小题4:理解题。从Myth Number Two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。
小题5:归纳理解题。从整篇文章看，主要告诉人们开车时应系好安全带。

One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished. Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic(适当的话题). “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words：“You don’t say!” I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?” “Well, I didn’t request you to do so, ” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say’ you don’t say？” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, ‘You don’t say’ actually means ‘really!’ It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.” Only then did I know I had made a fool of myself. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: what the English teachers said is always right to us students.

| D．The Englishman visited the Great Wall and thought it worth visiting. |
| A．I thought the Englishman had made me a fool |
| B．the Englishman became a real fool. |

Surfing is no sport for weak persons. Swimming a quarter of a mile or more, and pushing a surfboard out to where the swells are just right for riding, can be real work. Then, at exactly the right moment, you climb up the wave and go fast across the face of a powerful swell with the white water jumping at your feet. The huge wave bites at your shoulder, threatening(威胁) at any moment to smash your flat. In the next several seconds, a cool head and lightning—quick action back to the pressure of the attacking wave will bring your board under control for that great ride down the back of the great, green mountain of water. Once on the beach, you know why surfing is growing in popularity as an international sport, and you’re glad to be a member of this new water world.
小题1:The first paragraph mainly tells us ______.
| A．people around the world go surfing all the year round |
| B．the definition(定义) of the sport |
| C．how to surf in the sea |
| D．where to surf around the world |
| A．is not an easy sport | B．can be done by anyone |
| C．should be done by everyone | D．does not require courage |
| A．you must first swim a quarter of a mile to warm your body |
| B．you will first ride on a board to reach the swells |
| C．you must first put on your life-suits before doing surfing |
| D．you must first swim to the swells with your board |

A store owner was putting a sign above his door that read “Puppies For Sale”. Signs like that have a way of 1 small children, and 2 enough, a little boy appeared under the store owner’s sign. “ 3 are you going to sell the puppies for?” he asked.

The little boy 5 in his pocket and pulled out some 6 . “I have $ 2.37,” he said. “ 7 I please look at them?”
The store owner 8 and whistled and out of the kennel (狗窝) came a lady, who ran down the aisle (过道) of his store 9 by five puppies. One puppy was 10 . Immediately the little boy singled out the puppy and said, “What’s 11 with that little dog?”
The store owner explained that the veterinarian (兽医) had 12 the little puppy and had discovered that it didn’t have a hip socket. It would always walk slowly and with difficulty. It would always be lame. The little boy became 13 “That’s the little puppy that I want to buy.”
The store owner said, “No, you don’t want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I’ll just give him to you.”
The little boy got quite upset. He looked 14 into the store owner’s eyes, pointing his finger and said, “I don’t want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I’ll pay 15 price. In fact I’ll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month 16 I have him paid for.”
The store owner answered, “You really don’t want to buy this little dog. He is 17 going to be able to jump and play with you like the other puppies.”
To his surprise, the little boy reached 18 and rolled up his pant leg to show a badly twisted, crippled (残疾的) left leg 19 by a big metal brace (支架). He looked up at the store owner and softly replied, “Well, I don’t run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who 20 !”
