13、 C 解析细节理解题。根据第二段第三句可知,将近 4000 人死亡,其中包括 1520岁的驾驶人员,由此可 知,在将近 4000 的死亡人数中,并不都是青少年,故排除 A 项;根据第二段第二句可知,在 2008年,30 000多名受害者源于交通事故,这个数字并不是死亡人数,故排除 B 项;根据第二段第五句可知,他是在 夜间驾驶时遭遇的交通事故,故选 C 项;而根据第二段第一句可知,Ryan Didone不是作为驾驶员,而是 作为乘客遭遇的车祸,故排除 D 项。 2.According to the passage, is the most likely to lead to a traffic
14、 accident while you are driving. A.reaching for a cell phone B.texting on the mobile phone C.talking on the mobile phone D.bringing along a cell phone 答案 B 解析根据第三段第一句可知,分神是导致交通事故的第一位的原因,而分神的首要起因是手机,打电话 和用手够手机以及发短信都是原因,但该段最后一句提到开车时发短信的事故率是不发短信的 23 倍。 故 B 项正确。 3.The passage is probably followed by a c
15、oncluding paragraph about .

17、ation planners,and public officials responsible for transportation systems in large cities are frequently criticized for failing to solve traffic jams. But are traffic jams a sign of failure?Long queues at restaurants or theater box offices are seen as signs of success.Should transportation systems
18、be viewed any differently?I think we should recognize that traffic jams are an unpreventable by-product(副产品) of successful cities,and view the “traffic problem” in a different light. Cities exist because they improve social communication and economic trade. The traffic jam occurs where there are lot

Despite the traffic jam,a larger amount and
21、wider variety of social communication and economic trade can be made better in large,crowded cities than elsewhere.Seen in this light,the traffic jam is an unfortunate result of prosperity(繁荣),not a cause of economic decline and urban decay.So while we can consider the traffic jam as increasing cost
22、s on the areas of big cities,the costs of inaccessibility in uncrowded places are almost certainly greater. There is no doubt that the traffic jam brings the terrible economic and environmental damage in places like Bangkok,Jakarta,and Lagos.But mobility(流动性) is far higher and traffic jam levels are
23、 far lower here in the US,even in our most crowded cities.Thats why,for now,we dont see people and capital streaming out of San Francisco and Chicago,heading for cities like El Centro and McAllen. 5.We can conclude from the first paragraph that . A.the traffic jam and weather are the two factors pre
24、venting the development of big cities B.the traffic jam seems to be very difficult to deal with C.if traffic engineers try their best,the traffic jam can be solved D.public officials are always criticized for misusing their power 答案 B 解析推理判断题。根据第一段中的“like the weather,no one seems to do anything abou

A.less powerful and influential B.developing C.rich and successful D.strong and healthy 答案 A 解析词义猜测题。由该词所在句子中的 while(而,却)表对比可知,decaying 的意思应与上文中的 successful相反,故选 A项。 7.According to this passage,whi
26、ch statement about New York and Los Angeles is true? A.The traffic jam in the two cities has been worsened. B.New York and Los Angeles are the most successful cities in the US.

29、ventable. 答案 C 解析观点态度题。根据第二段最后一句和第五段可知,作者认为交通拥挤是城市成功的一个不可避 免的副产品,应该从另一个不同的角度来看待交通拥挤现象,故选 C 项。文中作者并没有提到交通堵 塞是一种失败,B项不正确。 四、语篇填空 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 导学号 12194014 Today is my birthday and Im so excited about it.In the morning I 1.
