三、阅读理解。
（阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案，共20小题。每小题2分，满分40分。）
（ A ）
Now, We're always hearing about road accidents事故,and when we're in a car we try to drive carefully, but how many of us take the same degree of care in our homes? Any large hospital will tell you the number of accidents that happen in the home is almost the same as those on the road. I don't pretend to be an expert, but I've thought a lot about how and why these accidents happen and what we can do to prevent them.
One of the commonest and most dangerous causes of home accidents is wrong and careless use of electrical equipment设备. People will continue to use a loose plug or pull out a plug without first turning off the power. In spite of warnings, one will carry an electric heater电炉into the bathroom when he is going to have a bath. Sometimes one forgets to cut off the power before mending a lamp or some thing else. All this will cause accidents. So the rule about anything that works by electricity is: Switch off before you touch anything and don't pretend you know when you actually don't.
If you've got children in the house, it's always best to keep medicines of any kind out of their reach. Otherwise, they may be taken for candies or a new kind of drink. When there are older people living with you, you have to take particular care in a number of ways in order to make them safe and happy.
Fire, of course, is always a risk. So, remember not to dry clothes in front of fires, or leave stoves in the middle of rooms where they can easily be knocked over. And don't forget to keep the children away from fire. Smoking, too, may cause fire. So you'd better give it up.
Safety First may mean a little more time and care, but it may save you a lot of trouble.
36. The writer thinks the reason why there are so many accidents in our homes is that we are .
A less careful in our homes than in a car
B more careful in our homes than in a car
C as careful in our homes as in a car
D not so careful in a car as in our homes
37.One of the most dangerous and most common causes of home accidents is .
A continuing to use loose plugs
B taking a bath with an electric heater in the room
C mending a lamp without cutting off the power
D using electrical equipment in an improper way
38.The writer advises you about the use of electrical equipment.
A to appear as if you know everything
B to pretend that you don't know anything
C to pretend that you know everything
D not to think you know everything
39.It's best to keep medicines in places that children can't .
A get on Bget to Cget in Dget over
40.One way to prevent fires at home is to .
A leave stoves in the middle of the rooms
B dry clothes near stoves
C tell children to stay away from fire
D smoke away from fires

How Can a Small Stamp Be Worth $16,800?
Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value（价值）to stamp collectors. A mistake on a two-penny（便士，英国辅币） stamp has made it worth a million and a half times its face value.Do you think it impossible? Well, it is true. And this is how it happened.
The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the former British colony（前英殖民地） of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order（订货单） for stamps was sent to London. Mauritius was about to become the fourth country in the world to put out stamps.
Before the order was filled and the stamps arrived from England, a big dance was planned by the commander-in-chief of all the armed forces on the island. The dance would be held in his house and letters of invitation would be sent to all the important people in Mauritius. Stamps were badly needed to post the letters. Therefore, an islander, who was a good printer, was told to copy the pattern of the stamps. He carelessly put the words "Post Office" instead of "post Paid", two words seen on stamps at that time, on the several hundred that he printed.
Today, there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left-fourteen One-penny Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues. Because there are so few Two-penny Blues and because of their age, collectors have paid as much as $ 16,800 for one of them.
41.The mistake on a two-penny stamp has made
A a lot of trouble for the post office.
B Mauritius the fourth country to put out stamps.
C it worth half a million times its face value.
D it worth as much as sixteen thousand and eight hundred dollars.
42.When was the mistake in printing made? It was made
A not long ago.
B in the eighteenth century.
C in the nineteenth century.
D after some stamps arrived from London.
43.In 1847 most countries of the world were
A not yet using stamps.
B printing stamps in Mauritius.
C printing their own stamps.
D collecting valuable stamps.
44.Why did Mauritius print some stamps too? Because
A London stamps were not well printed.
B London would not print them.
C invitations to a big dance had to be posted quickly.
D Mauritius had a very good printer.
45."Post Paid" means ___________.
A the same as "Post Office".
B the Post Office is the place to buy stamps.
C money has been paid for the stamp.
D the letter must be posted
C
I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric怪僻的farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him.

I hadn't the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go .
It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn't know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. "She meant more to me than anyone…even my own wife!" he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal丑闻. I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn厩."I wouldn't leave her out in the cold!" he said.
Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door .He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground." She was such a good cow!

We cannot feel speed. But our senses let us know that we are moving. We see things moving past us and feel that we are being shaken.
We can feel acceleration, an increase in speed. But we noticed it for only a short time. For instance, we feel it during the takeoff of an airliner.
We feel the plane’s acceleration because our bodies do not gain speed as fast as the plane does. It seems that something is pushing us back against the seat. Actually, our bodies are trying to stay in the same place, while the plane is carrying us forward. Soon the plane reached a steady speed. Then, because there is no longer and change in speed, the feeling of forward motion stops.

B. we are lifted high up in the sky C. everything is strange to us
54. Why do we feel the acceleration when a bus starts?
A. Because the bus can’t gain the speed so fast as we do
B. Because the bus is not in good condition
