【解析】

現(xiàn)在越來(lái)越多的中國(guó)人喜歡自己開(kāi)車去美國(guó)旅行，為了保證旅途順利、旅行愉快，有必要了解一些關(guān)于在美國(guó)開(kāi)車的相關(guān)信息，短文中從手勢(shì)信號(hào)、校車以及使用喇叭三個(gè)方面進(jìn)行了介紹。

【1】主旨大意題。根據(jù)短文第一段“They need to know something about driving in America, which will be helpful to them and bring a happy holiday to them.”可知，這篇短文介紹的是一些在美國(guó)開(kāi)車需要知道的東西，這樣才能有一個(gè)愉快的假期。故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境“knowing some hand signals are very important and they are always asked in a driving test” “了解一些手勢(shì)信號(hào)是非常重要的，而且在駕駛考試中它們也總是被問(wèn)到”，由句意可知，they代指上面提到的hand signals，故選A。

【3】主旨大意題。題干意為“這篇短文的結(jié)構(gòu)是什么？”，瀏覽文章大意和結(jié)構(gòu)可知，短文第一段引入文章所談?wù)摰脑掝}，然后第二、三、四段分別從三個(gè)方面介紹了在美國(guó)開(kāi)車需要了解的一些信息，因此短文是總分結(jié)構(gòu)。故選D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段“Yellow school buses have flashing (閃爍) red lights and stop signs that reach out from the driver’s side. The drivers use these warning (警告) signals when letting pupils on and off No matter which side of the road you are traveling on, if you come upon (偶遇) a school bus with its lights flashing and a stop sign used, you must stop.”可知，當(dāng)看到黃色的校車閃爍紅燈，并伸出停止標(biāo)牌的時(shí)候，這意味著校車司機(jī)在讓學(xué)生上下車，此時(shí)你必須停車。故選B。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一段“Do not use your horn to complain about (抱怨) other drivers’ mistakes”可知，不要使用喇叭來(lái)抱怨別的司機(jī)的錯(cuò)誤。故選B。

這是一篇說(shuō)明文，短文主題明確，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，對(duì)于學(xué)生們把握文章大意比較有利。但短文中出現(xiàn)多個(gè)長(zhǎng)難句，增加了理解的難度。題型設(shè)計(jì)有細(xì)節(jié)理解題和主旨大意題，如第2小題，這個(gè)題目考查代詞指代的內(nèi)容，解題時(shí)應(yīng)回到語(yǔ)境中，尤其注意劃線代詞上面的內(nèi)容，因?yàn)榇�詞一般指代的都是上文中出現(xiàn)的名詞或短語(yǔ)。了解說(shuō)明文的主旨應(yīng)特別注意文章第一段的內(nèi)容，因?yàn)檎f(shuō)明文體裁的文章常常是總分或總分總的結(jié)構(gòu)，在第一段中會(huì)有點(diǎn)明文章主旨的句子出現(xiàn)。
