【題目】2015.湖南

Forget Cyclists, Pedestrians are Real Danger We are having a debate about this topic. Here are some letters from our readers. ■Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders. People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade (避讓) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision. The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others. ——Michael Horan ■I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads. I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me. The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used. The police do nothing. What a laugh they are! The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (發(fā)熒光的) jacket and lights at night and in the morning they should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them. ——Carol Harvey ■Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red. I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him. Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists? It's about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim. ——JML Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.

【解析】本文圍饒一個(gè)主題展開(kāi)一場(chǎng)爭(zhēng)論—誰(shuí)才是馬路安全的威脅者。
1，C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)第一段中的最后一句話：But pedestarians are probably the worse offenders 但是路人可能才是更嚴(yán)重的罪犯，可知Micael Horan 的觀點(diǎn)是，路人對(duì)道路安全存在威脅，故選C：
2 ,B細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第八段的開(kāi)頭：The cyclists should all have to be made use the cycle lanes and wear helmets，可知Carol Harey建議騎自行車的人應(yīng)該在他們應(yīng)該走的車道去騎，故選B，
3，B細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段第一句話：Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.
可知JML抱怨騎自行車的人騎的太快，對(duì)道路安全產(chǎn)生隱患，故選B
4，D細(xì)節(jié)推理題．最后一段說(shuō)到：It's about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim.
——JML希望對(duì)自行車擁有者登記，當(dāng)他們撞到行人或者車輛、制造出車禍的時(shí)候，他們能夠被追查到，所以They在此指的是cyclists故選D
5 ，A主旨大意提，根據(jù)文章的標(biāo)題和所有讀者的來(lái)信不難發(fā)現(xiàn)這篇文章主要是圍繞到底誰(shuí)（自行車或者行人）才是道路安全存在的隱患，故選A，
