Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed. Task 1
Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive
them or ride in them.
It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard(滑板) and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.
Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying. It will stay safely on the skateboard.
Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1949. Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them.
Most newer cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly--in less than one second--to keep the people inside safe. 36. We have to be careful in driving a car mainly because it could be ______.
A. little fun B. a pleasure C. a lot of trouble D. a great danger 37. The example of an egg on a skateboard is used to show that ______. A. eggs break easily on a moving skateboard B. cars should not be stopped suddenly C. seat belts are important to safety D. driving is a dangerous act
38. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. People with seat belts tied will always be safe in cars. B. Volvo was the first carmaker to use seat belts in cars. C. Air bags will come out before the cars hit something. D. All cars have air bags in front of the seats.
39. According to the passage, air bags are another device that ______.
A. adds safety to car driving B. is going to replace seat belts C. comes out slowly to function D. prevents cars from running too fast 40. The best title for this passage is ______.
