More than 20,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third floor window. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.

Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to $50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.

However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing(倒退) your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid（正当的） medical certificate（ 证书）which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these cases supply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court you have been excused from wearing.

1. This passage is probably taken from ______.

A. medical magazine    B. a legal document

C. a textbook    D. a government information booklet

2. Wearing a seat belt in a vehicle ______.

A. reduces road accidents by more than half

B. reduces the death rate in traffic accidents

C. saves lives while driving at a speed up to 30 miles per hour

D. saves more than 16,000 lives each year

3. It is the driver’s responsibility to ______.

A. make the front seat passenger wear a seat belt

B. make the front seat children under 14 wear a seat belt

C. stop children from riding in the front seat

D. wear a seat belt each time he drives

4. For some people, it may be better to ______.

A. pay a fine rather than wear a seat belt

B. wear a seat belt for health reasons

C. (not to) wear seat belt for health reasons

D. get a valid medical certificate before wearing a seat belt

It was a dark and cold night. The car driver didn’t have even one passenger all day. When he went by the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he quickly opened the door of the car and asked, “Where do you want to go, sir?”

“To the Star Hotel,” the young man answered. When the car driver heard that, he didn’t feel happy. The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway station. But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of the big city.

After a long time, the car finally arrived at the hotel. “You should pay me fifteen dollars,” the car driver said to the young man. “What! Fifteen dollars? Do you think I’m a fool? Only last week I took a car from the railway station to this same hotel and I only gave the driver thirteen dollars. I know how much I have to pay for the trip. I won’t pay you one dollar more than I paid to the other car driver last week.”

Alexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad’s car. She let her eyes lazily scan, the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. “Dad, there’s a deer there!” Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp sntlers(角) on each side of its head.

As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer’s head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. “I knew I was in trouble,” Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.

When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman’s terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. “I was kicking it to get its attention,” she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.

Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue’s injured leg. “We’re going to get you to a hospital,” Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer’s head and neck, but the blows didn’t scare it away. “I was losing faith,” she says. “A couple more strikes, Alexis,” said her father. “You can do it.” Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer’s neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.

After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. “You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help,” she says, “not to beat up a deer.”

1.What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?

A. She was driving home.　　 B. She was resting on the road.

C. She was taking exercise.　　 D. She was feeding wild animals.

2.The underlined word “edged” in paragraph 2 probably means _________.

A. changed　　 B. cut

C. attacked　　 D. moved

3.What did Alexis do to save Sue?

A. She pushed the deer away.　　 B. She hit the deer with her feet.

C. She drove the car to hit the deer.　　 D. She beat the deer with a hammer.

4.Which of the following words can best describe Alexis?

A. Strong.　　 B. Cruel.

C. Energetic.　　 D. Brave.

高一英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Typically, a person sitting in the driver's seat of a car opens the door with the hand closest to it. It makes sense since doors are designed to be opened that way. Pull the handle(把手) and immediately the door is open. But if you happen to do that at the wrong time, you may create an obstacle(阻碍) for a passing cyclist without knowing it. Then the cyclist will be sent falling off the bike, and the car door is likely to be damaged by the fast-moving bicycle.

The car door design and long-time habits have made the process instinctual but clearly the solution is for the person getting out of the vehicle to check for traffic. Luckily, there's a simple way to solve the problem: the Dutch reach. In other words, instead of using your left hand, reach for the door latch(门锁) with your right hand. This will force you to turn your body and look into your side view mirror to see whether any car or bike is coming.

''It's just what Dutch people do,'' said Fred Wegman, the former managing director of the National Institute for Road Safety Research in the Netherlands. ''All the Dutch are taught it. It's part of regular driver education.''

The technique dates back about 50 or 60 years, and it was very popular between the 1960s and the 1980s. But it didn't really become known as the Dutch reach until American physician named Michael Charney started the Dutch Reach Project in 2016 in an effort to popularize the practice in the United States. According to The Times, he was motivated by the death of a 27-year-old who rode into an open car door and died just five blocks from his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Charney's efforts may be paying off. Both Massachusetts and Illinois now include the Dutch reach in their drivers’ manuals(手册).

1.What is the first paragraph intended to show?

A.The poor design of the car door and handle.

B.A common conflict between cars and bicycles.

C.A main cause of traffic accidents related to cyclists.

D.Possible risks connected with opening the car door.

2.What does the underlined word ''instinctual'' in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.Difficult B.Possible

C.Natural D.Dangerous

3.How does the Dutch reach help to reduce traffic accidents?

A.By making the person open the car door more easily.

B.By forcing the person to check for approaching traffic.

C.By reminding the person of the traffic lights frequently.

D.By helping the person see the side view mirror more clearly.

4.What made Charney introduce the Dutch reach into America?

A.Its popularity among Dutch people.

B.Its appearance in drivers’ manuals.

C.A project started in the year 2016.

D.The death caused by a traffic accident.
