Question

【題目】 Today, we drive safer cars on safer roads, but most car accidents are the result of human error. 【1】 So it’s a good idea to review some basic rules for safe driving. Here are four driving tips that will help bring you and your passengers home unharmed.

1. Practice defensive（保護的）driving.

Defensive driving includes keeping a safe distance and not speeding. 【2】 Accept small delays, such as staying in line behind a slower car instead of suddenly changing lanes.

2. 【3】

Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how safely you drive. You are driving at the speed limit and obeying all traffic rules but someone else can crash into you. One good rule is to think everyone else on the road is a fool and be prepared for anything unexpected. 【4】 And it pays to be ready when you do.

3. Don’t follow too closely.

Drivers need enough time to react if the car in front makes a sudden turn or stop. It can be too difficult for drivers to judge the proper distances while driving and the exact distance is adjusted by speed, so most experts suggest a “three-second rule”.

4. Be more careful in bad weather.

【5】 Drive below the speed limit if necessary, keep extra space between you and the car ahead, and be especially careful around curves. If the weather worsens, just find a safe place to wait out the storm.

A.Wear your safety belt.

B.Watch out for other drivers.

C.Chances are that you’ll eventually meet someone foolish.

D.The best way to reduce accidents is to practice safe driving behaviors.

E.If you’re driving through fog, heavy rain or on icy roads, be extra careful.

F.Remaining calm in the face of annoying traffic is another major part of the idea.

G.If a driver is tired enough to fall asleep while driving, the results are terrible.

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章告訴我們在開車的時候如何保障自己和車輛的安全。

【1】根據(jù)下文“So it’s a good idea to review some basic rules for safe driving.”可知，因此，復習一些安全駕駛的基本規(guī)則是個好主意。所以選項承接下文。故D項“減少事故的最好方法是練習安全駕駛行為”切題。故選D項。

【2】根據(jù)前文Defensive driving includes keeping a safe distance and not speeding.可知，防御性駕駛包括保持安全距離和不超速。所以選項與前文為并列關系，說明防御性駕駛的內(nèi)容。故F項“在煩人的車流面前保持冷靜是防御性駕駛的另一個主要部分�！鼻蓄}。故選F項。

【3】根據(jù)下文You are driving at the speed limit and obeying all traffic rules but someone else can crash into you. One good rule is to think everyone else on the road is a fool and be prepared for anything unexpected.可知，你在限速行駛，遵守所有交通規(guī)則，但別人可能會撞上你。 一個好的規(guī)則就是認為路上的每個人都是傻瓜，并且為任何意外的事情做好準備。所以本段主要在說開車時要防備其他司機。故B選項“開車時要防備其他司機”切題。故選B項。

【4】根據(jù)上文One good rule is to think everyone else on the road is a fool and be prepared for anything unexpected .可 知，一個好的規(guī)則就是認為路上的每個人都是傻瓜，并且為任何意外的事情做好準備。所以選項承接上文。故C 選 項“有可能你最終會遇到一個傻瓜”。切題。故選C項。

【5】根據(jù)標題Be more careful in bad weather.可知，天氣不好時要多加小心。所以選項與標題話題一致。故E選項“如果你在大霧、大雨或結冰的路面上行駛，要格外小心”切題。故選E項。
