Bicycle Safety
Dear Mr Locke,
Last week I fell off my bike.Thanks to my bicycle helmet(头盔),I only broke my leg."Tell your friends what happened to you,"the doctor said,"so they'll be sure to wear their helmets,too."
I did what the doctor said and told my friends,but getting a few children to wear helmets is not a big deal. A famous basketball player like you,however,could convince(说服) thousands of kids to wear helmets. How do I know? Sport-Ade is the best-selling soft drink because Sam Locke drinks it. Zoomers are the most popular basketball shoes because Sam Locke wears them. And of course,the "Locke" is the coolest hair-style(发型) for boys.
I think you should make a short film,telling kids to wear helmets.If you tell them,kids would pay attention.I hope you'll think about it.
Sincerely,
Ray Brown

这篇材料由两封书信组成。第一封信中Ray告诉Sam Locke他曾从自行车上摔下来,由于头盔的保护,头部未受伤,但摔断了一条腿。病好后,在医生的建议下,他想劝他的朋友和更多不相识的孩子骑车时戴上头盔。怎样才能达到这个目的呢?于是,他给一位著名的篮球明星Sam Locke写信,希望他能拍一部短片,宣传戴头盔的好处,引起孩子们的注意。
第二封信是Sam Locke写给Ray的回信,信中表明他愿意拍这样一部片子来宣传戴头盔骑车的重要性,并建议Ray也参与进来。
26. A。Ray写信的主要意思当然是请Sam Locke拍一部宣传短片。
27. B。Ray写信的根本目的是想帮助别人。
28. D。关注名人的消息是追星族的天性。四个选项中,前三句都与Ray相关,只有最后一句与Sam Locke相关。
29. A。从Ray的信看,Sam Locke做过饮料、球鞋广告,且大受顾客青睐。由此他认为以Locke命名的发型也是最酷的,也会很受男孩子们欢迎的。
30. C。本题不难推断,Ray进入短片拍摄的重要原因当然是让更多的孩子戴上头盔。
