【题目】

Most cars have seat belts as part of their equipment. Seat belts protect drivers and passengers in case of accidents. They also reduce the effect of a crash on the body.

1Worldwide, the devices have protected up to a million people. America first recognized the invention of an automobile seat belt in 1849. The government gave a patent to an engineer named Edward Claghorn of New York City so that others would not copy his invention of a safety device. 2This early version of safety belt was said to include hooks and other attachments for securing the person to a fixed object.

Other inventors followed with different versions of the seat belt. 3 It resulted from the work of a Swedish engineer, Nils Bohlin. His three-point, lap and shoulder seat belt first appeared on cars in Europe 50 years ago.

Nils Bohlin recognized that both the upper and lower body needed to be held securely in place. His invention contained a cloth strap(带子) that was placed across the chest and another strap across his hips(臀部).4

Volvo was the first company to offer the modern seat belt to its cars. This company also provided use of Nils Bohlin's design to other car-makers.

5He received a gold medal from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences in 1995. He died in Sweden in 2002.

A. Claghorn called his invention a safety belt

B. The design joined the straps next to the hip.

C. The Swedish engineer won many honors for his seat belt.

D. Safety experts say that seat belts save thousands of lives a year in America alone.

E. There are many companies adopting Nils Bohlin's invention of the belt.

F. Claghorn was a promising young engineer with many honors all his life.

G. But more than 100 years passed before the current seat belt was developed.

【答案】

1D

2A

3G

4B

5C

【解析】本文讲述了安全带的发展史。

1根据下句Worldwide, the devices have protected up to a million people.可知,下句说的是在全球安全带保护人类的作用,而本段后面说的是安全带在美国的发展,所以此处应表达是安全带在美国的巨大作用。故选D。

2前句提到了发明者的名字Edward Claghorn,后句提到了This early version of safety belt,所以此处应该是Edward Claghorn发明的物品的名字。故选A。

3此处表达人们进行了不同的尝试,直到50多年前才出现在车里,所以表明经过一百多年的发展。故选G。

4前句提到了a cloth strap(带子)和hips(臀部),而且此段是在讲安全带的工作原理,故B项正确。

5根据前段中提到的Nils Bohlin's design,而且本段讲述他获奖的具体情况,故此处表达Nils Bohlin因为此发明获奖。选C项。

【题目】阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。
Since the one-baby policy (carry) out in China, Chinese families have been shrinking from one with over 10 members to the other with only three including parents and one baby. Things are usually out of our expectation. Apart from the benefits have been mentioned enough, small families are now beginning to have own problems. Because parents are having fewer children, they increasingly feel the need (control) the lives of those children. As a result, many children are becoming less (depend), determined and ambitious than in the past.
Parents today discourage their children from doing housework, extracurricular activities and socializing they fear it will interrupt their education. For example, when I was younger I wanted to learn the guitar my parents wouldn’t allow me because they believed it would distract me from my studies. They are happy as long as I perform (wonder) in my exams but don’t seem concerned about how I develop a person.
To some extent, I understand parents’ concerns, but I think they should love their children for they are, not what they want them to be. We deserve the chance to chase our own dreams and learn on our own. Even if we fail, we can learn from those failures.

【题目】阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四项个选项(A,B,C和D)中选出最佳选项。
A
Last August, I traveled with a group of volunteers to Tres de Mayo, a small community near Tela, Honduras to help renovate(整修) a community centre. During my stay there, I learned many things and I also had plenty of opportunity to interact(互动) and work with local children, and I often could not help but think about the hardships they faced day to day, all factors considered to place children at-risk for problems later in life.
One young boy in particular, Javier, 16, stood out for me. Javier's father had left a year earlier for the U. S, and the family had not heard from him since. This put his mother in a difficult position, stay in Tres de Mayo with no job and no source of income. In the end she decided to move to another province to find work. Javier with his little brother had to stay to live with their grandfather in a small house. Many of the children we met in Tres de Mayo were in similar situations.
As our last day approached, I remember the look in Javier's eyes, as they welled up(涌出)with tears when we told him we were leaving. One of the volunteers held him close, but it did little to console him. He had already experienced so much loss, his father abandoning him, his mother leaving to find work, and it was hard to realize that our departure(离开)was adding to the list.
As I looked beyond Javier, I could see the many men and women whom Javier looked up to, depended on, and gathered strength from. I did know that without parents to raise him, he was not left alone. Instead, the adults in the community took responsibility for the care of their collective young.
(1)Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A.Javier established good relationship with the author and his team.
B.Javier faced a number of challenges that put him at some risks.
C.Javier shared the same sufferings with other kids in Tres de Mayo.
D.Javier had to learn to be independent even since he was a little boy.
(2)We can replace the underlined word “console ” in the third paragraph with ___________.
A.affect
B.inspire
C.comfort
D.protect
(3)According to the author, what plays an important part in the growth of Javier?
A.The united effort from the whole global village.
B.The good quality from the foreign volunteers.
C.The great care from the adults in his community.
D.The positive support from some of his family.
