山西长治市2016中考英语阅读理解选编附参考答案 【中考先睹为快】 Passage A （来自2016中考模拟训练） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 Dad hurried to get home before dark so he could go for a run,but he had forgotten to wear his safety belt— a mistake 75% of the US population make every day. Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, But, Dad, you cant be healthy if youre dead. The big question is why so many people drive cars without wearing safety belts.???? There have been many misunderstandings about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars about forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.?? Number One: Safety belts arent needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour.??? Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver will hit himself on the front window of the car with a hard force, it feels like diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters. Number Two: Safety belts trap(困住)people in cars. So if the cars are burning or sinking in water, it’s difficult for people to move. ??? Truth: Sorry, but studies show that if people are not wearing safety belts, they are easy to be knocked unconscious(昏迷). So they will have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to have a clear head to free free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them. Number Three: Its best to be thrown clear of a serious accident.? Truth: Sorry again, but any accident serious enough to throw you clear is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater when people are thrown clear.21. From the first paragraph the writer want to __________.
