Every day 25 million U.S. children ride school buses. The safety record for these buses is much better than for passenger cars; but nevertheless, about 10 children are killed each year riding on large school buses, and nearly four times that number are killed outside buses in the loading zones. By and large, however, the nation’s school children are transported to and from school safely.
Even though the number of school bus accidents is not large, the safety of children is always of intense public concern. While everyone wants to see children transported safely, people are divided about what needs to be done-particularly whether seat belts should be compulsory.
People in favor of seat belts on school buses-many of them parents and medical organizations-argue that seat belts are necessary not only to reduce fatality and injury, but also to teach children lessons about the importance of using them routinely in any moving vehicle. A side benefit, they point out, is that seat belts help keep children in their seats, away from the bus driver.
People who object to seat belt installation suggest that children are already well protected by the school buses that follow the Nation Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) safety requirements set in 1977. They also believe that many children won’t wear seat belts anyway, and that may damage the belts or use them as weapons to hurt other children.
A new research council report on school bus safety suggest that there are alternate safety devices and procedures that may be more effective and less expensive. For example, the study committee suggested that raising seat backs four inches may have the same safety effectiveness as seat belts.
The report sponsored by the Department of transportation at the request of Congress, reviews seat belts extensively while taking a broader look at safety in and around school buses.
【小題1】According to the passage, the “school bus” is _________.
A.the bus offered by the school and different from the public bus |
B.the bus that has no difference from the public bus |
C.the bus that is driven by the students |
D.the bus that is not safe |
A.A new Research Council. |
B.The Department of Transportation. |
C.The Medical Organization. |
D.National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. |
A.many of the opponents(反對者) of seat belt installation are parents and officials of the Department of Transportation |
B.proposals of seat belts on school buses would be seriously considered |
C.a(chǎn)n alternate safety device (raising seat backs four inches) may be taken into consideration |
D.The Department of Transportation may either take the idea of seat belts or other measures when it reviews the whole situation |
A.Making School Buses Even Safer for Children |
B.Seat Belts Needed on School Buses |

【小題1】A
【小題2】D
【小題3】B
【小題4】A
【小題5】C
解析試題分析:這篇文章講的是學(xué)生乘坐校車的安全問題。關(guān)于是否佩戴安全帶的問題,許多人贊成并要求采取更安全的措施。
【小題1】推理題;從第一段的句子:Every day 25 million U.S. children ride school buses. The safety record for these buses is much better than for passenger cars;可知校車是學(xué)校接送學(xué)生的汽車和一般的公共汽車不一樣。選A
【小題2】此題是問誰最有權(quán)控制學(xué)校班車的安全。文章第四段講道:National Highway Traffic Safety Administration在1977年制定的安全措施很好地保護(hù)了校車中孩子們的安全。據(jù)此可以推知,該機(jī)構(gòu)有權(quán)就校車安全問題制定相關(guān)規(guī)定,它是最有權(quán)威的,所以答案應(yīng)該是D。
【小題3】文章最后一段講到,在國會的要求下,交通部發(fā)起的這份調(diào)查報告要求詳盡地考察座位安全帶問題,同時要廣泛調(diào)查校車:內(nèi)部以及周圍的安全環(huán)境。但是文章并未說明交通部要采取什么措施,所以D不確切。第三段說,家長是使用安全帶的支持者,所以A不對。第五段只指出有一種替代方法,但并未指出它會被考慮執(zhí)行。所以C不對。因此選擇B。
【小題4】這篇文章講的是學(xué)生乘坐校車的安全問題。許多人贊成并要求采取更安全的措施。所以答案應(yīng)該選A。C較具干擾性,它雖然也涉及到bus safety,但不是作者所要表達(dá)的最直接的愿望,而且文章也并未就具體的措施做出定奪。B太片面,因為文章不只討論了安全帶問題。D的說法太泛太空,不具體。選A。
【小題5】作者態(tài)度題:作者說明了校車安全問題的事實,例舉了家長的觀點,專家的觀點,交通部的做法,沒有提到自己的觀點,是很客觀的。選C
考點:考查社會現(xiàn)象類短文
點評:本文主要講述了的學(xué)生做校車的安全問題,和安全帶的利弊。同時在文章中也提出了不同的觀點。在閱讀的時候要注意從多方面考慮,要根據(jù)上下文的細(xì)節(jié)語義串聯(lián),做出合理的判斷和推理。

When I stepped out the plane from Miami into Charlotte, North Carolina, airport for a connecting flight home, I immediately knew something was wrong. Lots of desperate people crowded the terminal. I quickly learned that flights headed to the Northeast were called off because of a storm. The earliest they could get us out of Charlotte was Tuesday. It was Friday. A gate agent stood on the counter and shouted, “Don’t ask us for help! We cannot help you!”
I joined a crowd that ran from terminal to terminal in search of a flight out. Eventually, I found six strangers willing to rent a van with me. We drove through the night to Washington, where I took a train the rest of the way to Providence.
The real problem, of course, is that incidents like this happen every day, to everyone who flies, more and more often. It really gets to me, though, because for eight years I was on the other side, as a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines(TWA).
I know the days are gone when attendants could be written up if we did not put the lines napkins with the TWA logo in the lower right-hand corner of the first-class diners’ trays. As are the days when there were three dinner options on flights from Boston to Los Angeles in economy class. When, once, stuck on a tarmac (機(jī)場停機(jī)坪) in Newark for four hours, a planeload of passengers got McDonald’s hamburgers and fries by thoughtfulness of the airline.
I have experienced the decline of service along with the rest of the flying public. But I believe everything will change little by little, because I remember the days when to fly was to soar (翱翔). The airlines, and their employees, took pride in how their passengers were treated. And I think the days are sure to come back one day in the near future.
Many people crowded the terminal because ________.
A. they were ready to board on the planes
B. something was wrong with the terminal
C. the flights to the Northeast were canceled
D. the gate agent wouldn’t help the passengers
The writer got to Providence ________ at last.
A. by air B. by van C. by train D. by underground
Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A. Incidents happened to those who fly quite often.
B. The writer used to be a flight attendant for Trans-World Airlines.
C. Even a small mistake might cause complaints from passengers in the past.
D. McDonald’s hamburgers and fries were among regular dinner options.
What can be implied from the passage?
A. The writer lived in Charlotte, North Carolina.
B. The writer thought the service was not as good as it used to be.
C. The writer with other passengers waited to be picked up patiently.
D. Passengers would feel proud of how they were treated on the plane.

When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office.
“What are you doing at home?” I asked casually.
“Andrew, I was 31 today,” he answered quietly.
I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren’t. Why are you 32 at home?”
Then I noticed his 33 and realized he was telling me the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. 34 our family has been his joy, and I guess I have 35 his work for granted.

For the first time, I 42 my dad as vulnerable (易受傷的). He asked my brother and me to 43 less. I gave up my pocket money, 44 it wasn’t much. I felt I was doing the right. I also found a part-time job.
After several difficult months of searching, my dad 45 to go in a totally different direction. He 46 that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him 47 it, and I admired how much time and 48 he expended. I 49 knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really affected me.
Although this was one of the 50 experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity (逆境), and will be my foundations for success.
