cut highway crashes Japan is a case in point It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 using a simple optical illusion Bent stripes called chevrons 人 6 字形 painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are and thus drivers slow down Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D C is planning to repeat Japan s success Starting next year the Foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as on fifth of all fatal traffic accidents according to the Foundation To help reduce those accidents the Foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed related hazards 危险 are the greatest curves exit slopes traffic circles and bridges Some studies suggest that straight horizontal bars painted across roads can at first cut the average speed of drivers in half However traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar Chevrons scientists say not only give drives the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents 41 The passage mainly discusses A a new way of highway speed control B a new pattern for painting highways C a new approach to training drivers D a new type of optical illusion 答案 A 主旨大意题 文章的主题句往往位于文章的开头或是结尾 本文就在第一自 然段 42 On roads

horizontal bars painted across roads A They are falling out of use in the US B They are applicable only on broad roads C They cannot be applied successfully to traffic rules D They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time 答案 D 细节题 文章倒数第二段最后一句话 within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar 可知 45 The advantage of chevrons over straight horizontal bars is that the former A can keep drivers awake B can cut road accidents in half 7 C will have a longer effect on drivers D will look more attractive 答案 C 细节题 根据文章最后两段可以看出 chevrons 的优点在于效果长久 C Some of Beijing Zoo s
