Ⅳ. 阅读理解
In recent history, there have been some amazing inventions which have changed our lives. The plane has made international travel faster and easier. The Internet has brought people closer.
And you must know the names of some famous inventors like Henry Ford or Steve Jobs. But there are many everyday objects which you probably don’t notice and you don’t know who invented them. Take for example Nils Bohlin who invented the modern-day car seat belt (安全带).
Before 1959, only two-point seat belts were available, and the only people who often wore them were race car drivers. The two-point seat belt couldn’t protect passengers from internal injuries (内伤) during serious car accidents.
In 1958, Bohlin joined Volvo Car Corporation as a safety engineer. Then he came up with the three-point seat belt to keep passengers from flying out of their cars during collisions. The three-point seat belt used one strap (带子) across the chest (胸部) and another across the legs and then the two joined at the same place.
Amazingly, this was a very simple idea which no one had tried before. The three-point seat belt was introduced to Volvo cars in 1959. For more people’s safety, Volvo made the new seat belt design available to other car makers for free. Since then, engineers have worked to improve the three-point seat belt, but the basic design remains Bohlin’s.
At the time of Bohlin’s death in September 2002, Volvo announced that the seat belt had saved more than one million lives since it was introduced.

2. What can we learn about the two-point seat belt

C. It saved over one million lives. D. It was popular with race car drivers only.
3. What does the underlined word “collisions” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese
A. 修理 B. 清洗 C. 制造 D. 碰撞
4. Bohlin invented the three-point seat belt _______.
A. in the early 1950s B. to get a job at Volvo
C. while working at Volvo D. after having a car accident
5. What does the passage mainly talk about
