10.From the health point of view we are living in an amazing age.We are free from many of the most dangerous diseases.A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modem medicine.It is almost certain that one clay medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases,The expectation of life has increased greatly.But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before,every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men,women and children on the roads.Man vs the motor-cart It is a never-ending battle which man is losing.Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel (方向盘),his car becomes the extension of his personality.There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man's very worst qualities.People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel They say,they are ill-mannered and aggressive,willful as two-year-olds and completely selfish.All their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to die surface by the act of driving.
The surprising thing is that society smiles so gently on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior.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; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year,to be easily forgotten.
It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life.With regard to driving,the laws of some countries are unbelievably lax (不严格) and even the strictest are not strict enough.A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident rate.Here are a few examples of some of the things 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 tie put through strict tests for safety each year.Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a person's driving ability.Present drinking and driving laws ( where they exist) should be nude much stricter.Speed limits should be required on all roads.Governments should lay down safety specifications for car factories,as has been done in the USA.All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned.These measures may not sound good enough.But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths.After all,the world is for human beings,not motor-cars.

45.What is the main idea of this passage?D
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 lax.
D.Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents.
46.What does the author think of society toward motorists?D
A.Society laughs at the motorists.
B.Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns.
C.Victims of accidents are nothing.
D.Society forgives their rude driving.
47.What does the author mean by saying"his car becomes the extension of his personality"in paragraph 2?A
A.Driving can show his hidden qualities.
B.Driving can show the other part of his personality.
C.Driving can bring out his character.
D.Driving can represent his manners.
48.Which of the followings is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?A
A.Build more highways.
B.Stricter driving tests.
C.Test drivers every three years.
D.Raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.
49.The author's attitude towards the traffic situation isB.
A.positive  B.unsatisfied   C.appealing   D.unclear.

分析 文章讲述了交通事故对人类生命的威胁.如今很多疾病都可以被治疗,当车祸却给人们的生命带来了巨大的威胁.因此,制定严格的交通规则很重要,毕竟世界是人类的世界,不是车辆的世界.

48.A 细节判断题.文章提到了制定更严格的驾驶考试,每年对司机都要进行考核,题干驾驶者的年龄.只有A项文章没有提及.故选A.
49.B 写作态度判断题.文章最后一段说With regard to driving,the laws of some countries are unbelievably lax (不严格) and even the strictest are not strict enough就驾驶而言,一些国家的制度不够严格,可以知道作者对交通现状是不满意的.故选B.

点评 阅读理解是考查语篇理解能力.常考的题型有:推理判断题;主旨大意题;细节理解题;猜测词意题.近几年又出现了两种新的考查方式:写作态度判断题和文章结构题.解题时,在读懂文章的基础上,还有特别注意掌握题型的特征,尤其是细节题和推断题不可混淆:细节题是文章信息的再现;推断题是文章信息的提取.本题是广告类文章,考查主要是以细节题为主,细节题要注意常用的出题陷阱有:夸大,缩小,张冠李戴,偷梁换柱,无中生有等,做题时要看清看准.
