　　Passage Two

　　Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

　　Car crashes are the leading cause of injury and death among U.S. children, and though most of us now think of car seats as standard baby equipment, about half of all children under the age of four who died in vehicle accidents last year were not restrained. It is calculated that only about two-thirds of children aged five to fifteen buckle their seat belts.

　　Moreover, the traffic-safety agency estimates that even among parents who always strap their children in, 85% are not doing it properly. They often don’t know where best to place the kids, don’t use the proper restraint for their age and weight, or don’t install the safety seats properly. Despite the reports about front seats collapsing onto back seats when certain car models get in accidents, the safest place in the car for any child up to the age of 12 is still the back seat. Babies up to 9 kg and one year old should ride in rear-facing infant seats.

　　Never place a child under age 12 in the front seat with a working passenger-side air bag. These devices are discharged at 320 km/h and can be triggered by low-speed fender benders. They have killed 77 kids in the U.S. since 1993. If you must place a child in front, make sure the passenger-side bag is switched off.

　　Children over age one should ride in forward-facing safety seats with a five-point harness system. A child who weighs at least 18 kg or at least lm high can graduate to a booster seat that elevates her so that the standard shoulder and lap belt fits properly.

　　睡眠能使人消除疲勞、恢復(fù)精力。本文主要介紹不同年齡階段的人和不同工種的人的睡眠時(shí)間，并談到了人保持清醒的極限時(shí)間。

　　47.A答題時(shí)，看見(jiàn)and引導(dǎo)的兩個(gè)并列句，可知?jiǎng)釉~時(shí)態(tài)需一致，且主語(yǔ)為第三人稱單數(shù)，在備選項(xiàng)中找動(dòng)詞單數(shù)形式即可。把選中的A帶入原文，意為“睡眠能使人消除疲勞”，符合常識(shí)，故選A。

　　48.C結(jié)合句意“一旦醒來(lái)，記憶力得到改善，然后就能以更好的_______來(lái)看待煩惱和問(wèn)題”，名詞中只有(

　　(觀點(diǎn)，角度)最符合文意。

　　49.D所選詞需首字母大寫(xiě)，在D、L中選擇。上文提到成人每天所需的睡眠時(shí)間為8～10小時(shí)左右，由此可推斷每天睡眠16～18個(gè)小時(shí)的應(yīng)該是未成年人，D符合文意。

　　50.B結(jié)合常識(shí)可知，隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)，嬰兒睡眠的時(shí)間(量)逐漸減少，故選項(xiàng)中B(數(shù)量)符合文意。

　　51.G空格所在句主要提到A worker with a ______demanding job和an executive worker(行政工人)在睡眠時(shí)間上的對(duì)比，由此可推知前者應(yīng)指體力勞動(dòng)者，故G(身體上地)最符合文意。

　　52，I此句差謂語(yǔ)，所以空格處應(yīng)為動(dòng)詞，且主語(yǔ)都是過(guò)世的人，時(shí)態(tài)用過(guò)去式，故選I。意為“顯而易見(jiàn)的是拿破侖、愛(ài)迪生和達(dá)爾文平均每晚只睡4-6個(gè)小時(shí)”。

　　53.H空格處需填一形容詞，在H、D之間選擇。上文先列舉了各類人包括名人的睡眠時(shí)間，按照邏輯，這里是說(shuō)無(wú)論你的個(gè)人需求跟以上談到的有何不同，故H符合文意。

　　54.E結(jié)合句意“到那個(gè)年紀(jì)你也會(huì)養(yǎng)成一個(gè)睡眠_(dá)______：最佳的入眠時(shí)間、最喜歡的床、最喜歡的睡姿…”可知，E(習(xí)慣，慣例)最符合文意。

　　55.K分析空格所在句，前半部分和后半部分形成對(duì)比關(guān)系，且此處應(yīng)填入連詞，選項(xiàng)中只有K符合。

　　56.F上文提到有關(guān)人能堅(jiān)持多久不睡的調(diào)查，由此可推測(cè)空格所在句指的是人不睡眠的極限時(shí)間，故F符合文意。

　　Section B

　　Passage One

　　文章精要

　　文章指出，現(xiàn)在美國(guó)人很少能全家人坐在一起慢慢地共享晚餐，取而代之的是食用便于加工的半成品食物以及各式快餐。熱衷于各類活動(dòng)，習(xí)慣開(kāi)車(chē)，原本是家庭主婦的女性外出工作，這些都是美國(guó)人就餐習(xí)慣改變的原因。

　　57.C綜合推斷題。文章首段指出，美國(guó)人精力充沛，總是四處奔忙，趕著赴一個(gè)又一個(gè)約會(huì)，趕著參加各種

　　活動(dòng)。他們沒(méi)有時(shí)間精心準(zhǔn)備飯菜，也沒(méi)時(shí)間悠閑地吃飯，許多家庭很少坐在一起吃晚飯。為了參加俱樂(lè)部和社團(tuán)活動(dòng)，他們常胡亂地吃口飯，由此推斷，美國(guó)人有許多事要做，因此無(wú)法悠閑地吃精心準(zhǔn)備的飯菜，故選C。

　　58.A 綜合推斷題。文章第二段指出，美國(guó)成為快餐的消費(fèi)大國(guó);第三段指出，巨大的轉(zhuǎn)變是在“二戰(zhàn)”后發(fā)生的，當(dāng)時(shí)許多女性開(kāi)始做全職工作，在家與家人共處的時(shí)間減少了，她們想在做好家庭主婦的同時(shí)盡好職業(yè)女性的本分，因此要合理地利用時(shí)間，由此推斷，自從大量女性開(kāi)始做全職工作，原本的主婦不再有時(shí)間做飯，所以美國(guó)人經(jīng)常食用快餐，故選A。

　　59.D綜合推斷題。文章第四段指出，在女性開(kāi)始工作的同時(shí)，家庭娛樂(lè)的重心由收音機(jī)轉(zhuǎn)向了電視，沒(méi)人愿意錯(cuò)過(guò)自己喜愛(ài)的電視節(jié)目，因此吃晚餐的地點(diǎn)由飯廳轉(zhuǎn)換到了起居室，由此推斷，美國(guó)人開(kāi)始在起居室吃飯是由于電視的吸引，故選D。

　　60.B信息明示題。文章最后一段第三句指出，隨著高速公路的發(fā)展，美國(guó)出現(xiàn)了快餐連鎖店，由此可知，快餐連鎖店的繁榮發(fā)展是伴隨著高速公路的發(fā)展而進(jìn)行的，故選B。

　　61.B 主旨題。文章首段指出，美國(guó)人現(xiàn)在四處奔忙，很少有時(shí)間悠閑地享用家里做的飯菜;第二段提到，他們?cè)诩彝ǔ３苑奖闶称?第三段指出，美國(guó)人飲食習(xí)慣的轉(zhuǎn)變是由于“二戰(zhàn)”后女性開(kāi)始做全職工作;第四、五段指出，隨著電視的流行，又出現(xiàn)了適合邊看電視邊吃的速凍快餐;最后一段指出，隨著高速公路的發(fā)展，快餐連鎖店開(kāi)始繁榮起來(lái)。綜合可知，文章的主題是美國(guó)人飲食習(xí)慣的轉(zhuǎn)變，故選B。

　　62.D主旨題。文章指出，造成兒童車(chē)禍死亡的一大原因是他們沒(méi)有受到適當(dāng)?shù)谋Ｗo(hù)，文章還介紹了如何根據(jù)兒童的年齡、體重、身高等正確使用安全座椅或安全帶以保護(hù)他們?cè)谲?chē)中的安全，所以D正確。

　　63.B信息明示題。文章第二段第二句指出，家長(zhǎng)通常不知道讓孩子坐哪里最好，或是他們沒(méi)有用適合孩子的安全帶，或是安全座椅安裝得不正確，即A、C、D都是不恰當(dāng)?shù)男袨�，但并沒(méi)有提及B項(xiàng)，故選B。

　　64.D信息明示題。文章第二段最后指出，the safest place in the car for any child up to the age of 12 is still the back seat，即12歲以下的孩子應(yīng)該坐車(chē)后座，所以D正確。
