D On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted that 42% of Americans could be overweight by 2030. Our expanding waistlines lead to not only a medical problem, but according to a recent article In The New York Times, it could also endanger personal safety in some situations— in an airplane crash, for example. The New York Times‟ Christen Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are adequately constructed to protect overweight travelers. Government standards for airplane seat strength（强度） — first set moe than 60 years ago — require that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg). Today, the average American man weighs nearly 194 pounds (88kg) and the average woman 165 pounds (75kg). Negroni reports: “If a heavier person pletely fills seat, the seat is not likely to behave as intended during a crash,” said Robert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly.” “Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said, “those people who are seated nearby could be endangered from „the uncontrolled movements of the passenger‟.” Most plaints about airplane seats focus on their lack of fort and high ticket price, and whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times‟ article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Investigators of the issue got in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to ment on the problem. Experts agreed that crash testing should be done with overweight dummies （人体模型） . Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said. Fortunately, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at the National Transportation Safety Board, the board‟s investigators have never seen an accident involving a mercial plane in which the weight of a passenger was a problem. 32. What is the article in The New York Times mainly concerned with? A. The size of airplane seats and seat belts. B. Safety of overweight airplane passengers. C. Airplane crashes involving mercial planes. D. A medical problem caused by being overweight. 33. Robert Salzar would probably agree that . A. overweight passengers should buy two seats B. the government should help produce safer planes C. standards for airplane seat strength should be raised D. passengers should know how to protect themselves 34. We can learn from the text that . A. airplane seat makers have taken action now B. there are few plaints about airplane seats C. those seate near the overweight may suffer too D. only a small number of airplane accidents involve the overweight 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Why Do Passengers Feel Anxious about Flying? B. Will 42% of Americans Be OVERWEIGHT BY 2030? C. When Will the Overweight Enjoy Their Flight? D. Are Airplane Seats Safe Enough for the Overweight? 第二节 (共 5 小 题 ；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分 ) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填 入 空白处的 最 佳选项，选项中 有 两项为多余选项。 Scientists often see the first ten years of a child‟s life as the “window of opportunity”. 36 .
