2010年12月英语四六级考试阅读提高练习(12)

阅读理解在大学英语四级考试中占有很大比重,提高阅读速度和效率是决胜英语四级考试阅读理解题的关键。为了帮助广大考生有效提高阅读速度,考试吧特整理了以下资料,供考生复习。

  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 casualties(死亡人数) 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 mandatory (强制性的)•

  Supporters of seat belts on school buses argue that seat belts are necessary not only to reduce death 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.

  Opponents of seat belt installation suggest that children are already well protected by the school buses that follow the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) safety requirement set in 1977. They also believe that many children won't wear seat belts anyway, and that they may damage the belts or use them as weapons to hurt other children.

  A new Research Council report on school bus safety suggests 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.

  4. It may be inferred from this passage that_______.

  A. many of the opponents of seat belt installation are parents and officials of the Department of Transportation

  B. proposal of seat belts on school buses would be seriously considered

  C. an 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

  5. The best title which expresses the idea of the passage is_______.

  A. Making School Buses Even Safer for Children

  B. Seat Belts Needed on School Buses

  C. Alternate Safety Devices and Procedures

  D. Safety in and around School Buses

  1. B 2. A 3. D 4. D 5. A
