32、f taking part in sports for young people. With proper training, supervision, protective equipment and techniques, and a proper emphasis on winning, sports can develop a healthy body and spirit and a life-long interest in being active and fit. Without such measures, childhood sports can lead to injur
33、ies and even paralysis or death. Even in the best conditions, no activity can be risk-free. But most serious hazards are preventable. Cyclists and football players can reduce their risks by wearing helmets, hockey players by wearing masks; basketball and tennis players by wearing eye guards; basebal
34、l players by wearing batting helmets. Besides, risks to individual players can often be found, and thus prevented, through a properly performed medical exam before a child plays. For accidents that may not be preventable, having an emergency plan and first-aid equipment, and someone trained to use t
35、he equipment, can be lifesaving. Still, each year, according to the American College of Sports Medicine, more than 775, 000 children under 14 are treated in emergency rooms for sports injuries, nearly half of them preventable. An estimated 300,000 athletes experience exercise-related head illnesses
36、each year, and almost all of them should have been avoided. Further, from half to three-fourths of sports-related concussions(脑震荡 ) are never even diagnosed; the injured are often sent back to play too soon and put at risk of another more serious brain-damaging concussion. To help reduce these risks
37、, the National Center for Sports Safety, with the National Athletic Trainers Association, offers a three-hour online safety course for coaches for $28 at www. SportsSafety. Org. 52.

40、ncussion. B. How to diagnose brain-damaging concussion. C. How to predict the possibility of brain damage. D. How to deal with the injured properly. 答案： 52-55 BCAD C Some experts feel that cars are certain to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all cars will be desert
41、ed and made useless. Other experts, however, think the car is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of city travel in the foreseeable future. The car will undoubtedly change greatly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not
42、 be powered by the gas engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types. Unless changes take place in the power system, the car in the future will still be the main problem in city traffic jams. One suggested solution to this essential problem is the automated (自动的
43、) system, which seems to hold water. When the car enters the highway system, a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once joined to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of th
44、e car will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all the cars movements. The driver will use the telephone to dial instructions about his position and the place he heads for into the system. The computer will find the best way and reserve space for the car all the way to the cor
45、rect exit from the highway. The driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warm him of his coming exit. It is believed that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10,000 cars per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 cars that can be carried by a present-day highway. 48. W
46、hat is the main concern of the author of the passage A. How to make cars pollution-free. B. How to make cars smaller and safer. C. How to solve the problem of train jam. D. How to develop an automated subway system. 49. We can infer from this passage that _. A. the car connected to the rail on the h
