　　A recent study, published in last week’s Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how dangerous it is to get a lift from a teenage driver．Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers in three times as likely to have a serious accident as a teenager driving alone．

　　The author also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10 pm, and especially after midnight．With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a latenight accident．

　　Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience．“The basic problem, ”he says, “is that adults who are responsible for giving out licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled a task driving is．”

　　Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate(使緩解)the problem is to have states set up so called graduated licensing systems, in which getting a license is a process with several stages．A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself able to drive in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving with night of passenger restrictions before graduating to full driving rights．

　　Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recent studies．

Special Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road

----- Reported by Sheila Carrick

Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.

Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.

Millions of animals die each year on U.S. roads, the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U.S. today. The main reason? Road-kill.

"Ecopassages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. "These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid human conflicts," said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Conservation Society.

But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lion used the passage.

Builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.

The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!

45. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that_________.

A．wild animals have become more dangerous

       B．the driving conditions have improved greatly

       C．the measure for protecting wildlife fails to work

      D．a(chǎn)n increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents

46. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is_________.

A．a(chǎn)n underground path for cars        B．a(chǎn) fence built for the safety of the area

C．a(chǎn) bridge for animals to get over a river D．a(chǎn) pass for animals to cross the road

47. When the writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”, he means_________.

A．a(chǎn)nimals begin to realize the dangers on the road

B．a(chǎn)nimals begin to learn to use ecopassages     

C．a(chǎn)nimals are crossing the road in groups

D．a(chǎn)nimals are increasing in number

48. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because_________.

A．wild animals may attack cars B．wild animals may jam the road

C．they may see wild animals in the park    D．they may see wild animals on ecopassages

Many Americans have been leaving their cars at home and riding to work on bicycles. Andy Clark is the leader of the League of American Bicyclists. His group supports bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation.

Clark says this is good news for the environment. He says riding a bicycle to work does not burn fossil fuel or creates dangerous pollutions. Experts say the effects are the most important on short trips. The Department of Transportation says fifty percent of Americans drive eight kilometers or fewer to work. Shorter car trips set out more pollution into the air for each kilometer drive. This is because the car engine will set out the harmful air when it warms up before it can work well.

James, a members of Congress (國會), is a strong supporter of bicycle use. He says cities, counties, state governments and state highway transportation agencies are planning the roadways of the future. They are creating roads and paths for bicycles in cities and between communities.

Last year, Portland, the Pacific Northwest city in the state of Oregon, had the highest percentage of bicycle users in the United States. Portland has been doing progressive city planning for many years to create special paths for bike riders.

What happened in America now according to the news?

   A. Many Americans lost jobs now.           

B. Many Americans prefer short trips.

   C. There are more and more bicyclists now in America.

   D. The pollution is getting worse and worse in America.

Where is Portland?

   A. One  of the cities in the USA.    B. One of the counties in the USA.

C. One of the states in the USA.    D. A country in the northwest of the USA.

What does the underlined word “harmful” mean in the second paragraph? The closest meaning is “_______”.

   A. polluted         B. dangerous             C. clean         D. foolish

What is the main idea of the passage?

   A. Many Americans like bike-riding for fun.

   B. Short car trips can reduce pollution.

   C. American government suggests people riding bicycles.

   D. Many Americans ride bicycles to support environment protection.

While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain puzzled over how to deal with another alcohol?related danger: drunken pedestrains.

Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated more frequently-and with higher blood?alcohol levels-than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood?alcohol level of at least 0.10-which by law in most states signifies intoxication-compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.

Some types of pedestrain accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7000, or one of every seven highway accidents resulting in death.

“We’re dealing here, we think, with a very severe drinking problem that leads to a severe highway safety problem,” said Richard Blomberg, president of Dunlap and Associates Inc, in Norwalk, Coon.

Blomberg, whose consulting company found a very high rate of alcohol involvement in a controlled study of pedestrian accidents in New Orleans, was among several researchers who spoke on the topic at the annual meeting of the Research council’s Transportation Research Board(TRB)  in Washington in January.

Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Colpitts, who chairs the board’s committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers have been mystified about how to prevent disasters.

5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Traffic Safety.                   B.Drunken Drivers.

C.Drunken Pedestrian Accidents.     D.A Severe Highway Safety problem.

6.Among the causes of walkers’ accidents, the most serious problem is .       

A.long delays in traffic signals that may make people cross streets without paying attention to traffic rules

B.alcohol

C.a lack of adult keeping eyes on many children involved in accidents

D.former drunken drivers whose licenses are not allowed to use for a time

7.According to recent federal data, drunken drivers with an over 0.10 blood?alcohol level in deadly accidents .      

A.are 15 percent less than drunken adult walkers with the same level

B.are 2500 a year

C.are at least 7000 in US traffic accidents

D.make up one?seventh of highway accidents

8.According to the passage, what is Blomberg?

A.A researcher.                        B.A specialist in traffic safety.

C.A clerk of a consulting company.        D.A government official
