Every culture has a recognized (公認的) point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests passed.
In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, where everyone drives, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license(證), they drive into the grown-up world.
"Nobody wants to ride the cheese bus to school," said Eleanor Fulham, 17. "It's like you're not cool if you don't have a car," she said.
According to a recent research, 41% of 16 to 19 year olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay.
Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with undergrounds and limited(有限的) parking, some teenagers don't want them. But in rich areas outside the city, if there are no undergrounds, and bicycles are more for fun than cars, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.
But police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18 and 19-year-olds. This has made many parents stop before letting their kids drive. They need to wait until they are more experienced.
Julie Susiana, of Virginia, decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learner's permit (許可)
Chad said he has accepted his parents' decision, although it has caused some laughing from his friends. "They say that I am unlucky," he said. "But I'd rather be alive than driving, and I don't really trust my friends on the road either."
In China as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive. Will this become a big step to becoming an adult?
1.16-year-old drivers have more accidents possibly because _______.
A. they want to show themselves off
B. they are not experienced drivers
C. older people always drive better
D. they never drive carefully on the road
2.Which may NOT be taken into consideration when deciding whether to buy a car?
A. How rich the family is.
B. Whether the kid is old enough.
C. What traffic condition there is around.
D. Whether it's practically needed.
3.The passage mainly gives information about _______.
A. an American culture about teenagers' driving
B. a change in the Chinese culture
C. a cultural difference between America and China
D. the relationship between driving and a person's development
4.Which may serve as the best title of the article?
A. Cars Helping You to Grow Up B. Driving into the Grown-up World
C. Teenagers' Driving in America D. Recognized Point of Becoming an Adult
1.B

試題分析:本文敘述了美國青少年學開車及買車是他們進入成年人的主要一步。在美國,青少年在16歲就可以參加駕駛證考試,開車上學。但是,警察認為16歲的青少年,駕駛經(jīng)驗少,容易出車禍。美國的青少年認為開車上學很酷。但是不是所有的家庭能買得起汽車。有些青少年覺得坐地鐵和騎自行車更有意思。
1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)They need to wait until they are more experienced.可知16歲的司機因為沒有經(jīng)驗,因此容易出車禍。故選B。
2.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)At 16, American teens take their driving test.可知獲得駕駛證有年齡限制,因此買車有年齡限制。根據(jù)Not all families can afford cars for their children.可知買車要考慮家庭是否有錢買。根據(jù)In cities with undergrounds and limited(有限的) parking, some teenagers don't want them.可知買車要考慮他們是否需要。因此ABD三項符合文章的意思,故選C。
