Question

【題目】Road signs are placed in special places to make sure of the safety of the drivers. These signs let drivers know how fast to drive. They also tell drivers when and where to turn or not to turn. In order to be a good driver, you should have a good knowledge of what the signs mean. It’s more and more important with the increase of the car ownership(汽車所有量).

A student driver will not be able to get his or her license unless he or she knows what all traffic signs mean. Many student drivers pay no attention to the speed limit sign. If you do not stay close to the speed limit, your driver’s test could end unsuccessfully.

One traffic control device(設(shè)施) is a “No Entry” sign. If you notice a “No Entry” sign ahead at the end of the street, you should prepare yourself to make a turn. If you enter a “No Entry” area or if you make a sudden turn, you could fail your driving test.

Another device is the “Stop” sign. Some drivers don’t prepare themselves to come to a stop. They either completely ignore(忽視) the sign or try to come to a stop suddenly. At times, a driver will only slow down without coming to a complete stop.

These mistakes could cause you to fail your driving test. All road and traffic signs should be followed. You should not only obey these rules while taking a driving test, but also obey them anytime when you are driving.

【解析】【主旨大意】本文為一篇說明文。介紹了隨著汽車數(shù)量的增多，道路交通標志是為了確保司機的安全，以及交通標志知識的重要性。文中還介紹了兩種交通管制的情況，提醒我們隨時注意交通安全，遵守交通規(guī)則。

【1】We should have all the knowledge of what the signs mean.細節(jié)理解題。題干意為：根據(jù)本文內(nèi)容，如果你想成為一名好司機,你應(yīng)該了解什么?根據(jù)第一段第四句“In order to be a good driver, you should have a good knowledge of what the signs mean.”可知答案。

【2】No, it isn’t.圖示理解題。題干意為:私家車擁有量和增長率一直在上漲嗎？根據(jù)圖表可知，雖然私家車越來越多，但其增長率卻在下降，故作否定回答。

【3】The speed limit sign. 細節(jié)理解題。題干意為：哪種交通標志經(jīng)常被學(xué)生司機忽視？根據(jù)第二段第二句“Many student drivers pay no attention to the speed limit sign.”可知答案。

【4】6.85%.數(shù)字計算題。題干意為：汽車的增長率從2010年到2014年減少了多少?根據(jù)第二個圖表可知2010年的增長率為19.25%，2014年的增長率為12.40%，二者之差為6.85%。

【5】Yes, I have. I will be more careful when crossing the streets. Besides, I will remember all the road signs and obey the traffic rules in the future.開放性試題。題干意為：你是否曾經(jīng)違反過交通規(guī)則？你將來會怎么做？開放性試題，答案合理均可。
