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 makes 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 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(无知觉的) 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 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 head first 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

We know the famous ones — the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells — but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper（雨刮器）? Shouldn’t we know who they are?
Joan Mclean think so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she’s developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who” invented “what”, however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions. According to Mclean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”
Her students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of Mclean’ statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper’s invention,” said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, “I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.” Lee is currently negociating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.
So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn’t be a built-in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.
Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It’s hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan’s traffic light. It’s equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett’s innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?
1.By mentioning “traffic light” and “windshield wiper”, the author indicates that countless inventions are ________.
A. beneficial, because their inventors are famous
B. beneficial, though their inventors are less famous
C. not useful, because their inventors are less famous
D. not useful, though their inventors are famous
2.Professor Joan Mclean’s course aims to ________.
A. add colour and variety to students’ campus life
B. inform students of the windshield wiper’s invention
C. carry out the requirements by Mountain University
D. prepare students to try their own invention
3.Tommy Lee’s invention of the unbreakable umbrella was ________.
A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer
B. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper
C. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm
D. not related to Professor Joan McLean’s lectures
4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?
A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers?
B. How to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the Window?
C. Shouldn’t We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper?
D. Shouldn’t We Develop Invention Courses in Universities?

科目：高中英语 来源：2017届黑龙江牡丹江一中高三9月考英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解
It was a cold night in Washington, D.C., and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked me for some money so he could get something to eat. I’d read the sign: “Don’t give money to beggars.” So I shook my head and kept marching.
I wasn’t prepared for a reply, but he said, “I am really homeless and I am really hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on marching.
The incident bothered me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn’t have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying. On a freezing cold night, I still assumed the worst of the fellow human being.
Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn’t help thinking of him. I tried to seek excuses for my failure to help by assuming government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you’re not supposed to give money to beggars.
Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for the Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean’s Café, a soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens devoted to Bean’s Café?
Before long my idea took off. People would fax me or call when they took something in. Those who only grew flowers donated them. Food for the spirit. And relief for my conscience.
As more and more people started working with the “Plant a Row” concept, many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo, which also arose in national gardening publications. Row markers with the “Plant a Row” logo were distributed to gardeners to set apart their “Row for the Hungry”.
It is unexpected that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger. If every gardener in America—and we’re seventy million strong—plants one row for the hungry, we can lower the number of neighbors who don’t have enough to eat. Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man I could have helped.
1.Why did the author turn down the beggar’s request?
A. He was previously reminded not to do so.
B. He was eager to march back to the hotel.
C. He thought that it was beyond his duty.
D. He was short of money at that moment.
2.Which of the following is the closest to the underlined phrase “took off” (Paragraph 6)?
A. We eventually took off at 11o’clock and landed in Seattle safely.
B. To take off pounds, you have to cut down the number of calories.
C. On hearing the news, he took off at once and headed back to the hotel.
D. His business has really taken off owing to his advanced management.
3.What did the author do after the beggar’s incident?
A. He felt guilty but couldn’t help him.
B. He started a project to help the hungry.
C. He ran a blue kitchen to supply the hungry with soup.
D. He still supposed it was unwise to give the hungry with soup.
4.What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Plant a Row for the Hungry
B. Lend a Hand to Beggars
C. Never Hesitate to Help Others
D. Plan a Gardening Project
