山東2014年成人學(xué)士學(xué)位英語考試樣題及答案
Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage
Accidents(事故,意外的事) are caused; they don’t just happen. The reason may be easy to see: a shelf(架子) out of reach, a patch (補(bǔ)丁,小塊土地)of ice on the misfortune(不幸,災(zāi)禍,災(zāi)難)—frustration(挫折,灰心喪氣), tiredness (疲勞的,累的)or just bad temper(脾氣)—that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack(進(jìn)攻,攻擊) on oneself.
Road accidents, for example, happen frequently(經(jīng)常地,屢次地) after a family quarrel( 爭(zhēng)吵), and we all know people who are accident-prone(有….傾向的), so often at odds(困難) with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.
By definition(定義,解說), an accident is something you can not predict(預(yù)言,預(yù)告,預(yù)測(cè)) or avoid(避免,回避,躲開), and the idea which used to be current(當(dāng)前的,通用的), that the majority (多數(shù),大多數(shù))of road accidents are caused by a minority(少數(shù)) of criminally careless(粗心的) drivers, is not supported by insurance(保險(xiǎn),保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)) statistics(統(tǒng)計(jì),統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字). These show that most accidents involve(使卷入,牽涉) ordinary (普通的)motorists(開汽車的人) in a moments of carelessness(粗心) or thoughtlessness.(欠考慮的,自私的)
It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions(條件,狀況) make people more likely(可能的,很可能) to have an accident. For instance(例子,實(shí)例,事例), the law requires(需要,要求) all factories to take safety precautions and most companies(公司) have safety committees(委員會(huì),全體委員) to make sure the regulations (規(guī)則,規(guī)章,管理)are observed(觀察), but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are injured (傷害,損害,損傷)from work due(由于,應(yīng)歸于) to accidents. These accidents are largely the result of human error (錯(cuò)誤,差錯(cuò))or misjudgment—noise and fatigue(疲勞,勞累), boredom(煩惱,無聊) or worry are possible factors (因素)which contribute(有助于….,促成) to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety(焦慮,憂慮,渴望) level, run three times the normal risk (風(fēng)險(xiǎn),危險(xiǎn),冒險(xiǎn))of accidents at work.
6. The passage suggests that________.
A) Accidents are usually caused by psychological(心理的,心理學(xué)的) factors.
B) Accidents mostly result(是由….造成的) from slippery(滑的,使人滑跤的) roads.
C) Drinkers run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories.
D) About 50 000people lose their lives at work in Britain every day.
2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned(提到,說起) as a factor of accidents?
A) Mood. (心情,情緒,語氣) B) Tiredness.(疲勞的,累的)
C) Carelessness (粗心) D) Weather
8. The word “accidents-prone”(L.2 Para.2)means________.
A) likely to have accidents B) injured in accidents
C) possible to die in accidents D) responsible(有責(zé)任的,負(fù)責(zé)的) for road accidents
9. What can we infer(推論,推斷,猜想) about the author’ opinion (意見,看法)of accidents?
A) Safety precautions(預(yù)防,警惕) are of little use in accidents.
B) Many accidents can and should be avoided.(避免)
C) Factory accidents , unlike (不像,和….不同)road accidents, are inevitable(不可避免的).
D) Most road accidents are caused by just a few careless(粗心的) drivers.
10. The best title for the passage would be __________.
A) Accidents and Anxiety(焦慮,憂慮,渴望)
B) How to Deal with Accidents on Road and in Factories
C) Human Factors in Accidents
D) How to Prevent(防止,阻止) Accidents on Road and in Factories
