Question

【題目】 Los Angeles is always a popular holiday destination. To fully enjoy your travel there, you should know its food, weather, and also traffic. While driving in L. A. is similar to that in other areas, there are a few specific rules to note.

HOV lanes (車道)

On many L. A. freeways, one or more lanes at the far left are used as high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. They usually have limited access and you can only enter or exit where there is a break in the double yellow line. Most HOV lanes require a minimum of two people in the car; some require three. Vehicles towing trailers (拖車) are NOT allowed in the HOV lane, regardless of how many people are in them.

Toll (收費(fèi)) lanes

On certain freeways, the HOV lanes are double-purposed as toll lanes for people driving alone who have a FasTrak, an electronic toll collection system. Therefore, you also have to have one in that lane as a HOV, which is inconvenient if you’re just visiting. FasTrak is in effect on parts of the 110 freeway between the 405 and 10 freeways, and on parts of the 10 freeway east of Downtown L. A.

Cell phones

It is against the law to talk on a cell phone while driving without using a hands-free device. Holding a cell phone to your ear while driving will land you with a ticket.

Alcohol

Driving under the influence is taken seriously in L.A. The legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08%, but you can be charged with lower levels if they show you can’t function normally. Placing an opened bottle of alcohol in the passenger area while driving (or sitting) is illegal. Any opened container of alcohol has to be transported in the trunk.

【1】What do you know about HOV lanes?

A.They encourage people to share cars.

B.They are on the far right of freeways.

C.They are intended for larger vehicles.

D.They allow cars to enter over the double yellow line.

【2】Which is surely against the road rules in L. A.?

A.Driving on the 110 freeway with a FasTrak.

B.Putting the cell phone in the car while driving.

C.Riding with an opened bottle of alcohol in back seats.

D.Going below the blood alcohol limit of 0. 08%.

【3】Where is the text most probably taken from?

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】C

【解析】

本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。洛杉磯總是一個(gè)受歡迎的度假目的地。 要充分享受你在那里的旅行，你應(yīng)該知道它的食物、天氣和交通。 本文介紹了在洛杉磯開(kāi)車需要注意一些具體的規(guī)則。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的 Most HOV lanes require a minimum of two people in the car; some require three.可知，大多數(shù)HOV車道至少需要兩個(gè)人在車上；有些需要三個(gè)。因此可知他們鼓勵(lì)人們共享汽車。故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的Placing an opened bottle of alcohol in the passenger area while driving (or sitting) is illegal. Any opened container of alcohol has to be transported in the trunk.可知，開(kāi)車或者坐車時(shí)，在乘客區(qū)放置一瓶打開(kāi)的酒精是違法的，任何打開(kāi)的酒精容器都必須裝在后備箱里。因此后座上有一瓶打開(kāi)的酒精騎車是違背洛杉磯的道路規(guī)則的。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的Los Angeles is always a popular holiday destination. To fully enjoy your travel there, you should know its food, weather, and also traffic.(洛杉磯總是一個(gè)受歡迎的度假目的地。 要充分享受你在那里的旅行，你應(yīng)該知道它的食物、天氣和交通。) 以及下文介紹洛杉磯的道路規(guī)則，可推斷，文章是寫給旅游者的，理應(yīng)出現(xiàn)在旅游小冊(cè)子上。故選C。
