【题目】It's 9 a.m.,the morning rush hour in Toronto.A man has fallen down on a downtown street suddenly.Several passers-by stop to help the man.One woman reaches into her purse for her cellphone and hits 911,the emergency number.【1】
Within ten minutes,the stricken man is in the back of an ambulance and is sent to the hospital for life-saving treatment.
This scene is fairly common in Toronto and other major cities.Over the years,cities have developed systems to respond quickly to emergencies.【2】But none of this would be possible without the cooperation of car drivers who yield(让路)to emergency vehicles on busy downtown streets.In fact,it's against the law for drivers not to yield.
To yield means to give away or,more specifically,to get out of the way.【3】As yet,China doesn't have any specific laws that require drivers to yield,whether it is for slower cars to move over to the inside lane of a highway or for all cars to give way to emergency vehicles.【4】Drivers did not yield when they heard the ambulance's siren.
In Canada,failing to yield to an ambulance vehicle can result in a fine of $400~$2,000 and reduction of three points off your license.That's for a first offense.
【5】This punishment is severe because lives are in danger.
A.It has resulted in many lives being saved.
B.A second offense results in a bigger fine,the loss of your driver's license for two years and a possible jail sentence.
C.It saves lives and,who knows,someday it may save your own.
D.Three minutes later,sirens(警报)are heard in the distance as a police car,an ambulance and a fire truck race to the area.
E.It means pulling to the side of the road to let others pass.
F.Recently,an injured Beijing cyclist died on the way to hospital because the ambulance carrying him got stuck in city traffic.
G.Safe driving depends on driver's being aware of the traffic around them and yielding when necessary.

【解析】试题分析:本文讲述了汽车主动让路给救护车对于救人的重要性。开头用一个故事讲出在多伦多,汽车司机都会主动让路给救护车,然而在其他国家,比如中国,没有法律要求汽车要让道,这耽误了病人的最佳救治时间。
【1】D考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据前面One woman reaches into her purse for her cellphone and hits 911, the emergency number. 可知此处应该是填上警车来了,故选D。
【2】A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据前文“Over the years, cities have developed systems to respond quickly to emergencies”可知,此处应该是表示结果,所以选择A.
【3】E考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据前文是在解释To yield means to give away or, more specifically, to get out of the way. 此处是在做进一步的解释,故选E。
【4】F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前文提到China doesn’t have any specific laws that require drivers to yield, 所以此处是给出一个具体的例子。与下文中的描述相呼应,故选F。
【5】B考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据前文That’s for a first offense.可知此处指的是a second offense,故选B.
