　　(2024·吉林二模)

　　In Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know too well how bad the traffic can be. “There're too many cars, and you can't move around a lot.”

　　Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (導航) system.

　　He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house.

　　“What's unique is that we use a lot of data that's currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what's going to happen in front of you when you leave home.”

　　Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahahi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.

　　“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this.”

　　Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.

　　語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。在洛杉磯，交通阻塞非常嚴重。賽勒斯·謝哈比教授決定開發一款名叫ClearPath的系統，這個系統可以利用歷史數據，在司機出發前就可以預測道路的交通狀況。

　　1．Drivers in Los Angeles were mentioned in order to ________.

　　A．show care for themB．introduce their life

　　C．solve traffic problems D．raise the topic

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。文章第一段提到洛杉磯的交通阻塞非常嚴重，洛杉磯的司機對這一交通情況十分了解，也感到很無奈。提到司機的目的是為了引出下文，提出本文的主題。故選D項。

　　2．What is unique about ClearPath?

　　A．It can use a lot of information all over the world.

　　B．It can ensure that you will never be late for work.

　　C．It helps drivers see clearly what happens on the road.

　　D．It helps drivers know the road conditions ahead of time.

　　答案：D　細節理解題。根據第四段“What's unique is that we use a lot of data that's currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what's going to happen in front of you when you leave home.”可知，ClearPath系統可以分析多種數據，提前預測道路交通狀況。故選D項。

　　3．The underlined word “hits” in the fifth paragraph probably means ________.

　　A．have an accident

　　B．get to

　　C．turn left or right

　　D．collect traffic data

　　答案：B　詞義猜測題。根據第四段內容可知，在司機出發之前，這個系統會對路況進行分析。由此推斷，before the driver hits the road意為“在司機上路之前”，hit意為“到達”。故選B項。

　　4．What's Professor Shahabi's attitude toward his invention?

　　A．Disappointed. B．Proud.

　　C．Optimistic. D．Worried.

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。根據第五段最后一句、第六段以及最后一段可知，謝哈比教授認為他發明的系統有希望應用于全國乃至全世界各個國家，并且他希望能和一些公司分享自己的新發明。由此推斷，他認為新發明的前景很樂觀。故選C項。

　　B

　　Drunken driving—sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic (傳染病). Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250, 000 over the past decade.

　　A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American man image and judges were tolerant (寬容的) in most courts, but the drunken slaughter (殘殺) has recently caused so many well publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.

　　Twenty states have raised the legal drinking to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18 to 20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.

　　Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist (抵抗) pressure to drink.

　　Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities (災禍). Some states are also penalizing (處罰) bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously intosxicated (喝醉的)” and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.

　　As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition (禁止) of alcohol that began in 1919, what President Hover called the “noble experiment”. They forget that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption (腐敗) and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.

　　5．Drunken driving has become a major problem in America because ________.

　　A．most Americans are heavy drinkers

　　B．Americans are now less shocked by road accidents

　　C．accidents attract too much publicity

　　D．drinking is a socially accepted habit in America

　　答案：D　主旨大意題。文章開頭作者即指出，酒后駕駛已經成了美國一種“尚可忍受的謀殺”，又在第二段中說，“Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American man image....”能喝酒以前是美國男性形象的一部分……。這說明喝酒是一種為社會所接受的行為。A是錯誤的，因為文中沒有提到美國大多數男人都是酒鬼。B是錯誤的，并不是如今的美國人已經對車禍見怪不怪了。C的內容和本題不相干。酒后駕駛成為美國一個公害并不是因為酗酒吸引了很多公眾的注意力。故正確答案為D。

　　6．Statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that ________.

　　A．many drivers have not reached the legal driving age

　　B．young drivers were often bad drivers

　　C．more people took no drinking in the 1960s

　　D．the legal drinking age should be raised

　　答案：D　細節理解題。文章在第三段中舉新澤西州的例子是為了說明，降低青少年可以飲酒的年齡導致酒后駕駛在車禍中喪生的人數成倍增長，新澤西州不得不恢復了過去的合法飲酒年齡。故正確答案為D。

　　7．Laws recently introduced in some states have ________.

　　A．reduced the number of convictions

　　B．resulted in fewer serious accidents

　　C．prevented bars from serving drunken customers

　　D．specified the amount drivers can drink

　　答案：B　細節理解題。文章第五段開頭說，“Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities.”新實施的更嚴格的法律使得更多的人被捕或者接受測試，并且在許多地區都大幅度地減少了車禍的傷亡人數。故正確答案為B。

　　8．The problem of drunken driving is difficult to solve because ________.

　　A．alcohol is easily accessible

　　B．drinking is linked to organized crime

　　C．legal prohibiting has already failed

　　D．legislation alone is not sufficient

　　答案：C　細節理解題。在文章的最后一段，作者提出對現狀的憂慮。有些人提出應該像過去那樣對酒精實行嚴格管制，但是實踐已經證明了這只能導致一些人從非法的渠道買酒，并且助長了官員的腐敗和犯罪現象。因此解決酒后駕駛的問題和解決吸毒的問題一樣，任重而道遠。故正確答案為C。
