一、高中英语任务型阅读1.任务型阅读It is now mandatory(强制) for drivers or passengers to wear seatbelts while in a car in all states. In addition, it is also mandatory for kids of be in some kind of specialized car seat. Given the strict requirements in other vehicles, why don't buses have seatbelts?The main answer, at least for school buses, is that seatbelts do not make school buses safer. Overall, traveling on school buses is the safest way to travel—40 times safer than riding in a car—with only a handful of deaths occurring to passengers on school buses every year. The seats on the school bus are placed very close to each other and have high backs that are thickly padded. As a result, in an accident the students would be propelled forward a very short distance into a padded seatback that in a way is like an airbag. In addition, the fact that people sit high off the ground on school buses also makes it safer to travel on them.While school buses feature high backed seats and elevated seating locations, the same cannot be said of city buses. However, from a practical angle, there's little need to require seatbelts on city buses. Although the design of the modern low—floor city bus is less safe than the design of school buses, the fact that city buses rarely travel at speeds greater than 35 miles per hour means that any collision is likely to be small, Also, given that most trips on city buses are short and that many trips have standing passengers, the presence of seatbelts will make even less of a difference.Another answer why buses do not have seatbelts is cost. It is estimated that adding seatbelts to buses would add between $8,000 and $15,000 to the cost of each bus. In addition, seatbelts would take up room currently used as seats, meaning that each bus would have fewer seating places. The additional room in the bus taken up by seatbelts would mean that bus fleets would have to increase by as much as 15% just to carry the same number of people. Such an increase would be especially difficult in cities that experience overcrowding on their vehicles.Regardless of whether their passengers have seatbelts, all buses provide seatbelts for drivers and most bus companies make their drivers wear seatbelts in order not to be influenced by a collision.unnecessary;result;occupying;avoid【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,讨论了为什么公共汽车不配带安全带的问题,列出了两种原因:一个原因是公共汽车上的座椅具有安全气囊的作用;另一个原因是公共汽车安装安全带费用太高。

(1)考查细节理解。

根据第一段中的”It is now mandatory(强制)for drivers or passengers to wear seatbelts while in a car in all states.“可知,每个人在汽车上都需要带安全带,require与主语Everyone之间是动宾关系。

故填required。

(2)考查逻辑推理。

根据第一段中的”why don't buses have seatbelts?“可知,下文讲述为什么公共汽车上没有安全带的原因。

由Topic与The rules可推断,首字母大写,故填Reasons。

(3)考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的”The main answer, at least for school buses, is that seatbelts do not make school buses safer.“可知,在公共汽车上,至少在校车上,佩戴安全带并不是更安全的,也就是戴不戴安全带没有影响。

make no difference固定短语“没有影响;不起作用”。

故填difference。

(4)考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的”The seats on the school bus are placed very close to each other and have high backs that are thickly padded. As a result, in an accident the students would be propelled forward a very short distance into a padded seatback that in a way is like an airbag.“可知,公共汽车的座位靠得很近,座椅有高高的厚厚的椅背,发生在事故时,学生向前撞到椅背上,就像是撞到安全气囊上,可以保护学生避免危险。

can后接动词原形。

故填protect。

(5)考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的”In addition, the fact that people sit high off the ground on school buses also makes it safer to travel on them.“可知,在校车上坐得很高也增添了安全性。

动名词作主语谓语动词用单数,add to固定短语“增添”和contribute to固定短语“有助于”都符合语境。

故填adds/contributes。

(6)考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的”Also, given that most trips on city buses are short…”可知,城市公交运行的距离短。

a short distance“短距离”。

故填distance。

(7)考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“…that many trips have standing passengers, the presence of seatbelts will make even less of a difference.”可推断,城市公交有许多乘客站着,让安全带没有必要。

故填unnecessary。

(8)考查细节理解。

根据第四段中的“It is estimated that adding seatbelts to buses would add between $8,000 and $15,000 to the cost of each bus.”可知,安装安全带导致费用提高。

resultin固定短语“导致”,故填result。

(9)考查细节理解。

根据第四段中的“In addition, seatbelts would take up room cu rrently used as seats, meaning that each bus would have fewer seating places.”可知,安全带占用公共汽车上的空间,限制了座位的数量。

介词后接动名词,故填occupying。

(10)考查细节理解。

根据最后一段内容可知,所有的公共汽车都为司机提供安全带,用来避免碰撞的影响。

故填avoid。

【点评】本题要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上,进一步通过上下文的联系,通过逻辑推理,填上合适的单词。
