Question

Normal bicycle safety guides usually tell you to wear you helmet(头盔) and to obey the law in order to avoid being hit on a bike. Is this advice really helpful?

Consider this for a moment: Wearing a helmet will absolutely do nothing to prevent you from getting hit by a car. Surely, a helmet might help you if you get hit, but you No.1 goal should be to avoid getting hit. Plenty of cyclists were killed by cars__________. However, if they had ridden without helmets, yet followed the guidelines listed below, they might still be alive today. So they saying that wearing a helmet is the first and last word in bike safety is, to some degree(在一定程度上), wrong.

The most common bike safety advice is “follow the law”. Ridiculously, most people are already aware that it’s stupid to race through a red light at a crossroads. As a result, it’s clear that the “follow the law” advice isn’t that helpful, either. In addition, following the law is not enough to keep you safe. Here’s an example: The law tells you to ride on the right, but if you ride too far to the right, someone started a parked car could open their door right in front of you and motorists pulling out of driveways and parking lots will be less visible. In that case you were following the law, but could still have been hit.

Then what should we remember in order to keep safe when riding a bike? I will tell you about it in the following paragraph.

2.Ridiculously, most people are already aware that it’s stupid to race through a red light at a crossroads.

3. when they wore helmets

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述的是人们起自行车要想保证自己不出危险的多个重要的措施和建议，不仅仅是戴头盔和遵守规则。

1. It only helps you after you’re hit.

细节题。根据第二段2,3行Surely, a helmet might help you if you get hit, but you No.1 goal should be to avoid getting hit.可知头盔只是在发生事故以后才会保护你。

2. Ridiculously, most people are already aware that it’s stupid to race through a red light at a crossroads.

原句表示：几乎没有人都在闯红灯是很危险的。这和第二段中的Ridiculously, most people are already aware that it’s stupid to race through a red light at a crossroads.是近义句。

3. when they wore helmets

推理题。根据下一句However, if they had ridden without helmets, yet followed the guidelines listed below, they might still be alive today.可知如果这些人不仅仅是戴头盔，而且还服从规则，那么他们可能还活着。说明前句是指很多人带着头盔还是被汽车撞死。

4. wear a helmet;      follow the law.

细节题。根据文章第一段Normal bicycle safety guides usually tell you to wear you helmet(头盔) and to obey the law in order to avoid being hit on a bike.可知正常人们都知道戴头盔和遵守规则是保护自己的两个安全措施。

5.所以很显然“遵守交通规则”这条建议也不是特别有效。

本句是指单纯第遵守交通规则也不是很有效。
