Part III Reading Comprehension
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
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or
unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are
4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the
corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Cars are lots of fun, 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
21-25:CDBAC
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 1 949.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 airbags 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 suddenly

A) People with seat belts tied will always be safe in cars.

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
