推知是在出版物上的“文章”。

3.A.wordB.naneC.phraseD.term

【解析】选C。词义辨析题。phrase表示（简洁的）说法。term指专业术语，一般指科技、

学术方面的。此句为“中国式过马路”这种说法的定义是

4.A.greatB.happyC.safeD.strong

【解析】选C。词义辨析题。“中国式过马路”即“凑够一大群人就过马路“，因为他们感

觉这样有安全感。

5.A.temptingB.interesting

C.excitingD.shocking

【解析】选A。词义辨析题。tempting指“有诱惑力的”，往往用于怂恿某人干不正当的事。

7.A.moreB.worstC.betterD.faster

【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。theworst最坏的事，此处表示“最糟糕会发生什么事？”。

8.A.riskB.liftC.lightD.road

搭配taketherisk（冒险）。

9.A.hopingB.believing

12.A.directionB.timeC.placeD.speed

C.alackofD.anumberof

【解析】选C。短语辨析题。pedestriancrossings人行道，-friendly方便...的。当缺

乏方便行人过马路的人行道时，要遵守交通规则就难了。

16.A.safelyB.slowly

C.worriedlyD.legally

【解析】选及词义辨析题。此句解释“中国式过马路”现象产生的一个原因是绿灯亮，行

人照理应该可以走，但车辆此时右转，就必然开进人群。legally合法地，依照法律地。

17.A.can'tB.shouldn*t

C.won,tD.mustn,t

【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。此句进一步解释。句意：行人在（绿灯亮时）该允许走时，却不

能走（因为右转弯的车子阻碍了他们），这就导致了“中国式过马路”。

18.A.responsibilityB.possibility

C.personalityD.reality

【解析】选Ao词义辨析题。根据上下文可知，作者认为开车并非意味着有更多特权（车与

行人都有路权），但这种特权必定有相应的，责任。responsibility;possibility可能

性；personality性格;reality现实。

19.A.severeB.mild

C.fairD.unjust

【解析】选C。前后照应题。take...intoone'shands意为“擅自处理”。句意：行

人因自行处理（即选择“中国式过马路”方式）不合理的道路系统而受惩罚，这似乎并不公

平。
