Question

阅读理解 　　Injuries cause 5 million deaths every year．They are also a leading cause of demand for medical care and recovery services．People of all ages are affected, but some groups are more at risk．For example, for people between the ages of 5 and 44 years, six of the ten leading causes of death are injury-related．The burden of injuries also falls disproportionately on the poor－over 90％ of injury-related deaths occur in low-income and middle-income countries and even poor people in wealthier countries suffer much higher rates of injury．Poorer people are at higher risk of injury because they often live, work, travel and go to school in unsafe environments．They also benefit less from prevention efforts, and have less access to high-quality treatment and recovery services． 　　Injuries can be prevented．There is clear, scientific evidence that injury-related deaths can be avoided and the effect of injury lessened．In high-income countries．injury-related deaths among children under the age of 15 years were reduced by half between 1970 and 1995．This reduction is brought about by a combination of research, development of data collection systems, the introduction of specific prevention measures such as improvements in the local environment, legislation, public education, product safety, and improvements in the level and quality of emergency care． 　　To prevent so-called “accidental” injuries(known as unintentional injuries)proven and promising measures include the use of motor cycle helmets, seat-belts and child restraints; separating pedestrians from vehicles; controls on speeding and on drink driving; use of safer stoves for cooking; child resistant containers for poison; and barriers separating children from dangers such as water． 　　proven prevention strategies include home visitation by professional nurses and social workers; parent training on child development, nonviolent discipline and problem-solving skills; pre-school enrichment programmes to give young children an educational head start; life skills training; reducing alcohol availability through taxation, pricing and the enforcement of liquor licencing laws; restricting access to firearms; and multi-media campaigns to promote non-violent social norms．For all types of injuries measures to improve the efficiency of emergency care will assist in reducing the risk of death, the time for recovery and the level of long-term impairment． (1) Poorer people are at higher risk of injury because of the following EXCEPT ________． [　　] A． unsafe environment to work in B． less benefit from prevention efforts C． not getting an immediate treatment D． Less access to high-quality treatment (2) We can infer from the passage that in reducing injury-related deaths ________． [　　] A． improvements of the local environment is most important B． taking specific prevention measures is effective C． the level and quality of emergency care is more important D． various measures are needed (3) In order to prevent unintentional injuries, people should ________． [　　] A． drive a motor cycle with helmets B． drive at a proper speed C． stop using the containers full of poison D． use sth．to keep children away from dangerous things (4) Which of the following is NOT the reason why violent-related injuries happen? [　　] A． Multi-medial campaigns to promote non-violent social norms． B． Parents know little about child development． C． Children lack problem-solving skills． D． People can easily use firearms． (5) Which may be the proper title of this passage? [　　] A． Why are there so many injuries? B． How can injuries be prevented? C． What are intentional and unintentional injuries? D． Why are poor people at higher risk of injury?

Answer 1

答案：1．C;2．D;3．C;4．A;5．B;
提示：

(1)	细节理解题。从第一段中最后一句话可以排除C项，其他三个选项的内容均被提及。
(2)	由第二段中“This reduction is brought about by a combination of research, ”这一句及后面的信息可以推断，减少因伤害而造成的死亡需要综合各种措施。
(3)	细节理解题。C项与第三段中提到的安全措施中的“use of safer stoves for cooking; child restraints containers for poison;”这一条不符。
(4)	细节理解题。根据最后一段所提及的各种措施可以看出答案，A项不是伤害发生的原因，而是预防伤害发生的措施之一。
