Question

Our school held many activities last week. We called it Road Safety Week. One of the educational activities was a speech given by a police officer. He shared something about the road safety. Here are some important points about his speech.

Most traffic accidents(事故)shouldn’t happen. They happen because people are careless. A frequent cause(原因)of traffic accidents is speed(速度). Some people drive too fast. This means that if they have to stop suddenly, they cannot stop quickly enough to avoid hitting(避免撞)others. You need to remember this when you are crossing the street or walking along the sidewalk(人行道).

It’s not only drivers who cause accidents, however. People on foot－pedestrians(行人), and bicycle riders often cause accidents, too. Pedestrians sometimes walk out into the street without looking. You should always look on both sides before stepping into the street.

Do any of you ride a bike? Bicycle riders can cause accidents by changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users. Before you turn left, for example, you should check behind you to make sure there aren’t any cars, trucks or buses coming. You should show with your left hand to tell that you want to turn left. You should not turn until the street is clear.

The rules of the road are very simple. If we learn them and obey(遵守)them, we should not have accidents any more. There were more other activities in Road Safety Week, hope every student could learn something.

【解析】本文主要写了在学校道路安全周时一位警察所作的“关于道路安全的报告”。报告的内容是交通事故的一个常见原因是速度。有些人开车太快。不仅是司机引起的事故，步行的行人和骑自行车的人，也往往造成事故。道路规则很简单，如果我们学会遵守，我们将不会有任何更多的事故。

1.细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句Most traffic accidents shouldn’t happen. They happen because people are careless.大多数交通事故不应该发生，它们发生是因为人们不小心。由此可推知“假如人们更加小心，大多数交通事故就不会发生”，结合选项，故答案选A。

2.词义猜测题。根据句意A frequent cause of traffic accidents is speed. Some people drive too fast.速度是导致交通事故频繁发生的原因，有些人开得太快。因此frequent应该是“频繁”的意思，故答案选C。

3.细节理解题。根据文中的句子Bicycle riders can cause accidents by changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users.可知骑自行车的人不应该突然改变方向或不警告其他道路使用者，从而导致事故。故答案选D。

4.理解归纳题。A. 骑自行车是最危险的。B. 造成交通事故的不仅仅是司机。C. 有些人因为开车太快而发生交通事故。D. 遵守交通规则可以防止你发生交通事故。通过对整篇文章的理解可知在警察的讲话中，除了A选项没有提到以外，其它选项都有讲到，故答案选A。

5.主旨大意题。根据文章的第一句Our school held many activities last week. We called it Road Safety Week.以及对全文的理解可知用Road Safety Week作为标题最恰当，故答案选B。
