【解析】

短文讲了人们不遵守交通规则，造成了很多的事故，分析了造成事故的一些原因，告诫人们不要喝酒等。

1.句意：他们中的一些人违反交通规则，造成事故。

考查动词辨析。根据下文“the traffic rules交通规则 和cause accidents导致交通事故。”结合选项，make使，制作；break打破，破坏；follow跟随；remember记得。可知应说是因为一些人不遵守交通规则，所以导致交通事故。break the traffic rules 破坏交通规则。故选B。

2.句意：很多道路上的行人非常粗心。

考查形容词辨析。tired累的；cheerful快乐的；careless粗心的；frightened惊吓的。根据“They walk in the roads but not on the walkways. They get into or out of cars in the middle of the road.”他们走在路上，但不走在人行道上。他们马路中间上下车。可知，道路上的行人非常粗心。故选C。

3.句意：他们步行或跑到车前面通过马路。

考查固定搭配。根据上文“They walk or run across the roads _______.”走或跑______，结合选项：at the end of在……尽头；in the centre of在……中心；on top of在……之上；in front of在……前面；可知应说他们步行或跑到车前面通过马路。in front of在……前面，固定搭配。故选D。

4.句意：有些人等绿灯嫌麻烦，直接就闯红灯过马路。

考查动词短语。care for 照顾；wait for等待，等候；search for 搜索；look for寻找。根据下文“the green lights”绿灯，可知，此处是指一定不要嫌麻烦等绿灯。wait for等待。故选B。

5.句意：许多人认为在大城市繁忙的道路上事故经常发生，但事实并非总是如此。

考查形容词辨析。busy忙碌的；wide宽阔的；clean洁净的；new新的。根据下文的例子可知，在繁忙的大都市不一定经常发生事故。故选A。

6.句意：例如，东京是世界上最大的城市之一，可能也是最繁忙的城市之一。

考查介词短语。In fact事实上；By the way顺便说一下；For example例如；In other words换句话说。根据上文“but this is not always true.”但这并不总是真的。和下文“Tokyo is one of the world's largest cities and probably one of the busiest cities”；东京是世界上最大的城市之一，而且很有可能是最繁忙的城市之一。可知下文是举的例子，即例如，东京是世界上最大的城市之一，而且很有可能是最繁忙的城市之一。故选C。

7.句意：然而，行人很少发生意外。

考查形容词辨析。very few极少数的；so many那么多的；only some只有一些；plenty of 很多的。根据上文“Many people think accidents often happen in…”说到很多人认为大城市容易发生交通事故，这种想法并不正确，后面举例东京，可知东京的行人就很少发生交通事故。故选A。

8.句意：原因是那里的警察很严格，行人也很小心。

考查形容词辨析。kind友好的；polite有礼貌的；patient有耐心的；strict 严格的。根据“the pedestrians are very careful.”行人也很小心。以及and可知，此处是对等的，因此应该是说那里的警察很严格。故选D。

9.句意：行人从不闯红灯，他们总是遵守交通规则。

考查频度副词。根据上文“Pedestrians never cross against a red light”，行人从不闯红灯，结合选项，even甚至；never从不；hardly几乎不；always总是。可知上文说很少发生交通事故，这里说的是原因，即行人从不闯红灯，而且总是遵守交通规则。故选D。

10.句意：那些喝过酒的人做决定很慢。

考查形容词辨析。slow缓慢的；active积极的；excited激动的；lazy懒散的。根据上文“It delays people's response.”它延迟人们的反应，可知，此处是指酒精会延迟人的反应，使人做决定变得缓慢。故选A。
