Some accidents are minor and some are serious but others may be fatal. We r

16、ead about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. It is wrong for people to think that accidents occur only on the roads or highways, or even at worksites. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported, people tend to think that there are few accidents wh

17、ich happen in homes. There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from high-rise flats. Children often fall from staircases while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip on wet or slippery floors if they are not careful. Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances su

18、ch as rice-cookers, electric irons, and kettles which make life easy for the modern housewives. These appliances can kill if they are not used in the proper way. Gas stoves used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly handledThey may cause burns or, in more serious cases, they may ev

19、en cause fires.But all such accidents can be prevented if we are careful and obey simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how. It is safer for them to get their faulty appliances by a qualified electrician. 36A

20、ccidents take place_. Amostly in homes Bmostly on roads and highways Cmostly on worksites and factories Dalmost everywhere37People think accidents happen only on the roads or highways because_.

The Uni

23、ted States is one of the most overpopulated countries in the worldThere are some people who believe that the only people who should be encouraged to have children are those with money. They feel that the problem to family-planning is more necessary for the poor than for the rich. However, they fail

24、to consider the fact that in terms of polluting the environment and using up the Earths resources, the industrial nations are much more of a threat(威脅) to the environment than the underdeveloped countries. For example, a single American is responsible for putting more pollutants (污染物質(zhì))into the air t

25、han 200 Pakistanis (巴基斯坦人) or Indians. Therefore, the idea that countries with smaller populations are less of a drain (消耗)on the Earth than those with larger populations is not necessarily true because we must also consider the problem of industrialization in these countries.40Some people think onl

26、y_ should be encouraged to have children.A the rich B those who work with their brains Cthe poor Dthose who live in cities41Which of the following statements is right?

28、he only country to be responsible for air pollution Dlaws must be made to improve our environment 43The author thinks that the size of a family_.

29、ch people have enough money to support a large family Cshould be governed by its income because poor people only live from hand to mouth Dshould be decided by the government of the country CThis year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13 to 19) from all over the world will s

32、ompletely different from what he had expectedmuch harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities. Family life, too, was different. The fathers word was l

33、aw, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(個(gè)人). Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car. “Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.” At the same time,

34、In America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea “I suppose I should criticize(批評(píng)) American schools,” he says. “It is far too easy by our level.
