听力原文： Accidents are caused; they don't just happen. The reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune—frustration, tiredness, or just bad temper—that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.

Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.

By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict to avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.

It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions made people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure that the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to accidents. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment—noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people, who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.

(33)

A．External conditions.

B．People's internal conditions influenced by physical or mental factors.

C．Slippery roads.

D．A chain of events.

听力原文：According to a new study done at the Medical school of the University of Californ

听力原文： According to a new study done at the Medical school of the University of California, left handed people may be more likely to have accidents than the right handed. One reason may be that left handers tend to make minor mental mistakes. In the study of 2000 sailors, those who had more mental errors also had more accidents, end left handers were reported to have more mental errors and more accidents than right handers. The author of the study, Harry Smith said "Minor mental mistakes are mistakes that any adults would make when they were tired or careless and they could lead to accidents because they lose track of what we are doing." Paul White, chief of the study program said that he found the study interesting and exciting. But he warned that the conclusions should not be accepted without further investigation. He said the study had limitations, and limitations could have influenced the results. Harry Smith, who is right handed himself, stressed that the study was not an official project and said that the findings cannot be applied m every left hander. He said minor mental mistakes were mostly because of the lack of concentration. But in the past, it was believed that left handers tended to have more accidents largely because most equipment was designed for right handers.

(33)

A．Right handers are more likely to have mental mistakes.

B．Left handers are more liable to have accidents.

C．Left handers are more skillful in handling things.

听力原文：The life-saving value of safety belts has been firmly established by many studies

听力原文： The life-saving value of safety belts has been firmly established by many studies. Most serious injuries and deaths resulting from even minor accidents are caused by people being thrown out of or against the interior of the vehicle. One study showed that 40 percent of those killed in traffic accidents would have been saved if they had been wearing safety belts.

Safety belts have been standard equipment on all automobiles sold in the U.S. since 1964. Since long before that, safety minded organizations have been advocating that motor vehicle drivers and passengers make it a habit to use safety belts whether they are driving across the country or across town. Millions of dollars worth or public service advertising has been donated by newspapers, magazines, radio and television to remind motorists and passengers to wear safety belts.

(33)

A．40%.

B．20%.

C．60%.

D．80%.

well hidden from hungry thieves. One such careful parent braves the rushing waters of the Iguacu Waterfalls in South America to lay its eggs in a damp crack in the rock face behind the falling water. Accidents are frequent, but evidently the risk is considered worthwhile. In any case, there are no eggs on the menu in this particular part of South America, which is bad news for some!

听力原文：There is increasing scientific evidence that large cars cause more highway accide

听力原文： There is increasing scientific evidence that large cars cause more highway accidents than small cars. In the news recently was the story of a woman who died of a heart attack while driving her station wagon. The car was moving so fast that it went through the highway-dividing fence, resulting in a collision in which five people died. Those unnecessary deaths are attributable in part to the woman's choice of a large automobile. A lighter and smaller car probably wouldn't have gone through the fence, because the heavier the ear, the greater the force it will have in a collision. Furthermore, even if the lighter car had broken through the fence, its remaining energy would have been much less, and this would have reduced the chances of serious injury or death. Because of its small size, it might have missed the other car completely. The present design of the oversized automobile is largely responsible ant only for the increasing death toll on the highway but also for the rapid depletion of our resources of petroleum, for the pollution of our environment, for urban sprawl, and for the congestion and inconvenience of our cities.

A．The story of a woman who died of a heart attack.

B．The story of a car going through the highway-dividing fence.

C．The story of a collision in which five people died.

D．Large cars cause more highway accidents than small cars.
