Question

Even kids know that we should wait for the traffic light to turn green before crossing a road, but not everybody follows this basic rule.

1.__________________________. Chinese people “cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as（只要）they are part of a crowd”, said a post on Sina Weibo.

A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road at a crossing in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.

2.__________________________. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University.

The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings from 2008 to 2010. 3.____________________________.

“People are likely to ignore（忽视）the light when the waiting time is longer than they can stand,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.

However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that half of respondents（调查对象）believe that people jaywalk mainly because they disregard（忽视）rules.

“I always obey traffic rules. 4.________________________,” wrote “Qixiaoe” on Weibo.

Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum(最大量) can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.

But calling on people to respect rules is more important. “5.__________________________,” Wang Jianping, a professor at Sichuan University, said to Huaxi Metropoli Daily.

【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇新闻调查，通过对人们过马路时的调查发现，有许多人过马路不看交通灯，只要有一群人就认为可以一起过马路，号召人们遵守交通规则。

1.根据上下文，后文提到，中国人过马路不看交通灯，只要有一群人就认为可以一起过马路。故选B（最近“中国式过马路”成为一个热词）。

2.2】根据上下文，前文中提到了在河北省石家庄做的一个调查，一个小时内有600多人闯红灯过马路，后文中说同济大学的调查队也同意这样的观点。故选D（许多人闯红灯是因为红灯持续的时间过长）。

3.3】根据上下文，前面提到：从2008 到 2010这只团队一直在调查人们在不同的路口等候的时间，下文说，人们不再等是因为他们没了耐心，故选A（人们等到70-90秒时就会失去耐心）。

4.4】根据上下文，前面提到：人们结伴闯红灯是因为他们忽视了规则。我总是遵守规则，这是因为我的观点是生命应该是第一位的，故选E（时间固然重要，但是生命应该是第一位的）。

5.5】根据上下文，前面提到：许多国家对结伴闯红灯都有相应的处罚。但是，要号召人们遵守规则更重要，故选C（要解决这个问题，就必须人人都意识到遵守交通规则的重要性）。

考点：新闻调查类短文阅读。
