Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Car crashes are the leading cause of injury and death among U.S. children, and though most of us now think of car seats as standard baby equipment, about half of all children under the age of four who died in vehicle accidents last year were not
restrained. It is calculated that only about two-thirds of children aged five to fifteen buckle their seat belts.
Moreover, the traffic-safety agency estimates that even among parents who always strap their children in, 85% are not doing it properly. They often don’t know where best to place the kids, don’t use the proper restraint for their age and weight, or don’t install the safety seats properly. Despite the reports about front seats collapsing onto back seats when certain car models get in accidents, the safest place in the car for any child up to the age of 12 is still the back seat. Babies up to 9 kg and one year old should ride in rear-facing infant seats.
Never place a child under age 12 in the front seat with a working passenger-side air bag. These devices are discharged at 320 km/h and can be triggered by low-speed fender benders. They have killed 77 kids in the U.S. since 1993. If you must place a child in front, make sure the passenger-side bag is switched off.
Children over age one should ride in forward-facing safety seats with a five-point harness system. A child who weighs at least 18 kg or at least lm high can graduate to a booster seat that elevates her so that the standard shoulder and lap belt fits properly.

答案:
62.D主旨题。文章指出,造成儿童车祸死亡的一大原因是他们没有受到适当的保护,文章还介绍了如何根据儿童的年龄、体重、身高等正确使用安全座椅或安全带以保护他们在车中的安全,所以D正确。
63.B信息明示题。文章第二段第二句指出,家长通常不知道让孩子坐哪里最好,或是他们没有用适合孩子的安全带,或是安全座椅安装得不正确,即A、C、D都是不恰当的行为,但并没有提及B项,故选B。
64.D信息明示题。文章第二段最后指出,the safest place in the car for any child up to the age of 12 is still the back seat,即12岁以下的孩子应该坐车后座,所以D正确。
65.A综合推断题。文章第三段最后一句指出,如果你不得不让孩子坐车前座,你就必须关掉前座旁的安全气囊,由此推断,关掉后的安全气囊对孩子应该没有危险,所以A正确。
66.B语义题。文章最后一段指出,体重超过18公斤或高于1米的孩子可以_______儿童增高座椅。选项中A意为毕业,B意为改换,C意为倒塌,D意为站立,只有B符合句意,为答案。
