A

It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.

Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.

An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

【解析】

試題分析：我們有理由去抱怨交通擁堵、油價、快節(jié)奏的當(dāng)代生活，但是人們在道路上的駕車行為正在變得越來越糟糕。道路禮儀不僅是一種禮貌，更是一種意識。有時候，不合適的指示也會給他人帶來危險。

1.but manners on the road are becoming horrible...Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. ...However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.”可知，文章主要講的是“Road politeness”，即道路上的開車禮儀，故選A。

2.Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.”和第四段“Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship”可知，司機在路上的突然超車等不好的行為是導(dǎo)致麻煩的原因，故選B。

3.A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness ...so necessary in modern traffic conditions ...Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.”可知，一個善意的點頭或者揮手示意顯得很有必要，但是許多司機對這樣的善意之舉視而不見，故選B。

4.It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter.”可知，把老虎關(guān)進籠子是對的，但是把老虎（失去理智的司機）放在汽車駕駛位上就是另一回事了。故選C。

5.misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. ...Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars”可知，有時候，錯誤的指示也是很危險的，故選C。
