Question

Wearing seat belt is，of course，the first step to safe driving．These additional measures might also save your life.

Count to three．Keeping up enough space between your car and others is extreme1y necessary．Jim Clark，a California driving instructor，suggests a least amount of three seconds’following distance．To figure this，pick an object on the roadside ahead．When the car in front of you passes it，start counting one-thousand-one,one-thousand-two，one-thousand-three．If you get to that object before you reach one-thousand-three，you don’t have three seconds of following time --- time needed to keep away from accidents．

Let followers pass．“If someone’s driving after you，get out of his way，”Clark advises．“You’re better of being safe than right．”

Expect the worst．In a study，the Federal Highway Administration(聯(lián)邦公路局)found that 68 percent of drivers do not come to a complete stop at stop signs．When you’re driving and see someone come near to a stop sing，assume the person’s not going to stop．

And when you stop at a crossing and another car comes near with its turn signal on，don’t take it true that the driver will turn．Instead，wait until he turns．He may have had the signal on for miles．

Stay outside．In crowd，multilane(多車道) traffic，drive in either the outside--left or outside--right lane．“That allows you somewhere to go if a problem develops,”traffic expert Francis Kenel says．“If you’re in the middle，all you can do is to pause from time to time．”

Answer 1

【答案】

1.C

2.B

3.D

4.B

【解析】

1.通讀全文可知，安全駕駛至少包括五個(gè)方面：wear seat belt，count to three，let followers pass，expect the worst，stay outside。

2.由于從one-thousand-one開(kāi)始數(shù)秒，所以數(shù)完one-thousand-three，就說(shuō)明三秒鐘已經(jīng)過(guò)去，即你和其他車輛已有三秒鐘的距離。

3.結(jié)合上下語(yǔ)境可知，assume的意思是“假定”，所以和suppose同義。

4.從文章最后一段第二句可知：在多車道上駕車時(shí)，最好走外車道。
