Question

【題目】 Every year many people died or were injured in car accidents where drivers were using their mobile phones. However, people continue to use them while driving even though it’s dangerous.

A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones, their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much—and nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally(正常地). It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers.

And talking isn’t even the most serious problem, texting is. An average text message takes 90 seconds to write and send. That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phone’s screen and not at the road. The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make matters worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before.

Using a mobile phone while driving puts others’ lives at risk. No matter how well we drive, if another driver is not being professional or careful，we are put in danger by their actions. Such drivers are selfish, careless and should have their driving licenses (駕照)cancelled.

There is no need to use them while driving. Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own.

【解析】

本文告訴我們每年都有許多人死于或受傷于司機(jī)使用手機(jī)的交通事故。并呼吁我們開(kāi)車(chē)時(shí)不要玩手機(jī)。

【1】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第一段Every year many people died or were injured in car accidents where drivers were using their mobile phones. However, people continue to use them while driving even though it’s dangerous，每一年都會(huì)有很多人由于司機(jī)在駕駛中使用手機(jī)造成的事故中受傷甚至死亡，然而，即使這么危險(xiǎn)人們繼續(xù)在駕駛中使用手機(jī)，根據(jù)劃線詞前面的use（使用），可知them指前面提到的mobile phones。故選B。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“…nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally.”打電話的比正常的慢50% ，由此可以算出，正常的是十秒，那么打電話時(shí)就是十五秒。故選D

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段第一句“And talking isn’t even the most serious problem, texting is.”可知，發(fā)短信是開(kāi)車(chē)時(shí)最危險(xiǎn)的事情。故選B

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第三段最后一句“The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make matters worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever before.”可知，新型手機(jī)功能多，讓司機(jī)能夠做的事情更多，因此可以推測(cè)出它更有趣，結(jié)果分散司機(jī)的注意力，造成事故。故選C。

【5】推理判斷題。 A項(xiàng)和全文意思尤其是第四段第一句“Using a mobile phone while driving puts others' lives at risk.”相矛盾；B項(xiàng)和第二段第一句“ …their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too much.”相符；C項(xiàng)“司機(jī)開(kāi)車(chē)時(shí)發(fā)短信應(yīng)該坐監(jiān)獄。”文中沒(méi)有提到，故錯(cuò)誤；D項(xiàng)和第三段第二句“An average text message takes 90 seconds to write and send.”相矛盾。故選B。
