Question

    Riding on the road? Time to review all that you learned in elementary school —especially if you'll be riding in traffic.

Always ride on the right side of the street in the same direction as the traffic. Never ride against traffic. Try to use bike lanes (车道)whenever you can.

Always stop and check for traffic in both directions when leaving your driveway. Some people in cars just don't see cyclists.

Watch traffic closely for turning cars or cars pulling out of driveways.

Don' t ride too closely to parked cars — doors can open suddenly!

Stop at all stop signs and stop at red lights just as cars do. Take special care at crossroads. It's d good idea to walk your bike across busy crossroads using the crosswalk.

Don't wear headphones while biking—you need to hear what's going on around you.

Never change directions or change lanes without first looking behind you and using the correct hand signals. That way everyone knows where you' re going. You can use your left arm for all hand signals. To show you' re making a left turn, hold your arm straight out to the left. To show a right turn, bend your elbow(肘部)，holding your arm up in an “L” shape. And before you stop, bend your elbow, pointing your arm downward in an upside down “L” shape. Of course, you can also hold your right arm straight out to the right to show you are going to turn right.

本文是说明文。为了保证骑行安全，享受骑行乐趣，关于在路上骑行，作者提出了一些建议。

1.细节理解题。根据第二段Always ride on the right side of the street in the same direction as the traffic. Never ride against traffic可知，骑行时要总是骑在街道的右边，与交通的方向相同。不要逆向骑行。故选D项。

2.细节理解题。根据第七段Don't wear headphones while biking — you need to hear what's going on around you可知，作者建议骑行时不要戴耳机，因为你需要听到周围发生的事情。因此戴耳机听音乐是很危险的。故选B项。

3.推理判断题。第八段中提到骑行者如果要向右转弯，可以有两种手势信号。根据You can use your left arm for all hand signals….To show a right turn, bend your elbow(肘部)，holding your arm up in an “L” shape可知，骑行者可以用左臂做手势。要显示向右转，可以将左手弯曲肘部，保持左手臂向上成“L”形状。这是图b显示的动作；再根据you can also hold your right arm straight out to the right to show you are going to turn right可知，骑行者也可以把右臂伸直到右边，以显示将向右转。这是图d显示的动作。因此图b和图d都是表示骑行者将向右转，是显示同一个方向。故选C项。

4.主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段So follow these tips to really enjoy your ride可知，本文是关于在路上骑行时，为了保证安全，享受骑行的乐趣，作者提出了一些建议。因此文章主题是关于“安全骑行”。故选A项。
