更多“Young drivers are far more ______ to have accidents than old drivers.”相关的问题
第1题
The main trouble with young drivers is that ______.
A．they are proud of their cars
B．they tend to own sports cars
C．they soon become like the older ones
D．they think they are on the battlefield
第2题
Americans are now taking steps to solve the problem of alcoholism by ______.
A．giving courses to teach doctors about drugs and treatments for alcoholics
B．teaching young students how to drive safely after drinking alcohol
C．punishing people more heavily for driving after drinking alcohol
D．decreasing the amount of alcohol drunk by drivers
第3题
A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood alcohol content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American alcohol image and judges were lenient (宽容的) in most courts, but the drunken slaughter has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960's to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-to-20-year- old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop "responsible attitudes" about drinking and teach them to resist peer pressure to drink.
Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities. Some states are also penalizing bars for serving customers too many drinks.
As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years' national prohibition of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover called the "noble experiment". They forget that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.
Which of the following best concludes the main idea of this passage？
A．Drunken driving has caused numerous fatalities in the United States.
B．It's recommendable to prohibit alcohol drinking around the United States.
C．The American society is trying hard to prevent drunken driving.
D．Drunken driving has become a national epidemic in the United States.

第27题：Drunken driving has become a popular problem in America because___________
A．accidents attract so much publicity

听力原文： The young executive weaving through the traffic in his BMW, one hand on the steering wheel, the other holding a telephone, has become a familiar sight on our city streets. It doesn't look safe and it isn't. It is not just that the serous discussion he is having is distracting. There is also the tangled cable by the gear lever and the fact that he's only got one hand free if someone suddenly steps off the kerb.
Car phone have been available in Britain since 1959 but have only become common since January 1985 when two "cellular" systems were introduced. These are licensed by the government and take advantage of new technology and ultra-high radio frequencies. About 2500 subscribers were expected in the first years of operation but the actual figure for 1985 was more than double that. It is estimated that 75000 cellular phones were then in use, and there were well over 100000 by the end of 1986.
The Highway Code has been rewritten to include a warning that driver should not use hand-held telephone when the car is moving, because the drivers may concentrate more on the phone-work than the road ahead. Authority warns that those who drive and talk into a telephone will be prosecuted.
(30)
A．Talking to another person while driving.
B．Holding a telephone in one hand while driving.
C．Not keeping both hands on the steering wheel while driving.
D．Driving without any shoes on.

W: I took pride in driving well when I was young, for I had to wait until I had a car to learn to drive. When I finally learned, it was something I really enjoyed and still enjoy; I remember how smart that driver had seemed driving so well and dressed so neatly in their uniforms. And I thought I'd like to do that myself.
M: You really enjoy driving, I see. And how long have you been a taxi driver？
M: It has been quite some time already, hasn't it？
W: Yeah.
M: Then, what did you find the most difficult about becoming a taxi driver？
W: I can still remember when I was learning to drive. It was scary. I did not yet know how to judge distance, and when a truck came near. It seemed like its wheel would just coming right over me. Anyway soon I learned to judge distance. I began looking ahead, stopped worrying about the truck which was moving on either side.
M: What's the best part of your job？
W: I found that what I like the best about this job was being outdoors, seeing how the city changes from season to season, and there are places I've seen that I would probably never have seen in another job. And I love all kinds of weather. I'd like to leave the window down in a fine rain. And the beautiful sceneries, you know...

听力原文： Going through cities and villages, I was attracted by Swedish national flags flying over houses and buildings which were ordinary family houses and offices. I noticed that on the road, all the cars' headlights were turned on even under the sun of June. Mr. Raiding explained that according to the new traffic regulations, drivers were required to keep the lights on day and night, which helped decrease the traffic accidents. Along both sides of the road, there were high fences used to keep the animals living in the forests from rushing onto the road. I could see little bare land in the country. In fact, fifty-four percent of the land is covered by forests and another ten percent by lakes and rivers. I was told that in Sweden nobody has the right to lay the land bare -- whoever cuts the trees Or spoils the grass must restore it right away. Whenever trees are cut, they are replaced by young trees at once.
Around Sweden, there is a notice in the bathroom of every hotel, which reads: "We care for our environment." In Sweden, you cannot see rubbish in streets, public gardens, rivers or lakes. The bottles are made of glass and the packages are made of paper or other natural materials which can be recycled. To make best use of their resources, Swedes never turn on the heating too high or the air-condition too low. The indoor temperature is always kept around twenty-five degrees Centigrade, no matter at home or in large hotels.
(33)
A．Because it would help decrease traffic accidents.
B．Because it was a Swedish custom.
C．Because it was always very dark in Sweden.
D．Because it was always cloudy and rainy in Sweden.

In the last decade or two we have seen movements toward equality as well as defiance of authority. Jeans, now worn by everybody, can be said to symbolize these changes for the better. In the past, only men wore jeans, and these men were at the bottom—socially and economically. Jeans were worn by truck drivers, farm and factory workers. Today, jeans no longer are looked down upon. They are worn by both men and women, by both skilled and unskilled workers, by both employees and employers. This common way of dressing symbolizes respect for individuality, no matter what your occupation or sex. In the fight against authority, young people have been the leaders. So it is natural that teenagers would defy parents and school administrators over the right to wear jeans to class and win. Jeans are the typical dress of civil rights marchers, fans at rock concerts, "hippies" returning to nature, and serious college students.
Because everyone can be comfortable in them, the blue jeans invented for the use of workers are now accepted almost anywhere, anytime. This is true not only in the United States, but in many other countries in the world. I strongly agree with the following statement: "Old or new, glorified or plain, jeans are likely to be around for a long time to come. Already they have succeeded where statesmanship has failed. Although unable to speak the same language, the inhabitants of this embattled planet have at least agreed to wear the same pants."
Jeans, originally designed by Levi Strauss, ________.
A．have become a symbol of the fashionable class
B．have come to symbolize changes in social attitude
C．are suitable wear for rough work only
D．are no longer so popular as they used to be
第10题
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality, which often undoubtedly brings out a man's very worst qualities. Normally quiet and pleasant people may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering wheel. They swear; they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-year-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.
The surprising thing is that society smiles on the motorist and seems to tolerate his behaviour. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; and the mass annual death becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.
It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are extremely loose and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate.
Here are a few examples that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through annual tests for safety. Present drinking and driving laws should be made much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in the U.S.A. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound terribly harsh. But remember: The world is for human beings, not motorcars.
The main idea of this passage is ______.
A．traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists
B．thousands of people the world over are killed each year
C．the laws of some countries about driving are too loose
D．stricter traffic laws should be made to prevent accidents
