问题     More than 30 000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. At a speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third floor window. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.
    Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to ￡50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.
    However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collecting using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt. Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it. [br] This text is taken from______.
选项 A、a medical magazine
B、a legal document
C、a police report
D、a government information booklet
答案 C
解析 本题是一道考查文章出处的问题，主要考查学生分辨文章文体的能力。在文章第一段，作者首先列举了每年在交通事故中死亡和严重受伤的驾驶员和乘客的人数，接着又论证说，汽车时速若仅为30英里，在发生车祸时对人的撞击相当于人从三层楼的窗户上摔下来的速度。而系上安全带则可以拯救生命，可以使死亡率或严重受伤率减少一半以上。在第二段中作者介绍了哪些人需要系安全带，否则就会被罚款。第三段作者指出在几种特殊情况下可以不必系安全带，除此之外，就会因为不系安全带而被送上法庭。综上所述，我们可以分析判断出，只有警察才会用如此的语气并有这么做的权利，因此，文章应是出自一份警察的报告。所以，本题的正确答案应是C“警局报告”。而其他几个选项如A“医学杂志”、B“法律文书”和D“政府信息小册子”都不是正确答案。
