題目

Cars are lots of fun,but they could also be dangerous.We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.

It’s always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you’re in a car.Why Think about this example:You put an egg on a(滑板)and give it a push.If the skateboard hits a stone,it will stop,but the egg won’t.It will fly through the air,hit the ground and break.

Now,think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard.When the skateboard hits a stone,the egg won’t go flying.It will stay safely on the skateboard.

Volvo,a famous Swedish carmaker,was the first man to use seat belts in 1949.Air bags are also very important for car safety,because sometimes a seat belt isn’t enough.If the car is going really fast and runs into something,seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them.

Most newer cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats.When a car hits something,its airbags will come out quickly―in less than one second―to keep the people inside safe.

The example of an egg on a skateboard is used to show that ______.

A.eggs break easily on a moving skateboard

B.cars should not be stopped suddenly

C.seat belts are important to safety

D.driving is a dangerous act

答案：C

解析：推斷題。該題詢問的是作者用“滑板上的雞蛋”的例子想說明什么。根據(jù)例子中滑板受到撞擊時雞蛋是否固定的不同結(jié)果，可以推斷出開車時如發(fā)生交通事故，車內(nèi)人員是否系安全帶結(jié)果也會不同。由此可知，安全帶對車內(nèi)人員安全的重要性。因此選項(xiàng)C為正確答案。
