Question

【題目】 The Australian state of New South Wales rolled out “high definition detection cameras" on Sunday, designed to catch drivers using cell phones behind the wheel.

Andrew Constance, New South Wales' minister for roads, said the "world-fist" technology would target illegal cell phone use through "fixed and mobile cameras". The cameras will use artificial intelligence to review images and detect illegal use of cell phones, according to Transport for NSW.

Images identified as being likely to contain a driver illegally using a cell phone would then be verified by traffic police. Those images would be securely stored and managed.

Over the next three years, 45 portable cameras would be set up across the state, in unknown locations, and without warning signs, CNN branch Sky News Australia reported.

For the first three months, drivers caught out by the technology would receive a warning letter, Transport for New South Wales said in a statement, after which the drivers would face a fine of up to $344, or $457 in a school zone, and loss of points on their drivers' license.

“The NSW Government is serious about reducing our state's road deaths and launching mobile phone detection cameras is another way we will do this." Con stance said in a statement.

Officials said that a trial of the technology earlier in the year had caught more than 100,000 drivers illegally using a phone behind the wheel. Some 329 people died this year on New South Wales' roads, Reuters news agency reported, compared with 354 people for 2018, according to official statistics.

【1】C

【2】D

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了澳大利亞政府為了制止開車打電話引發(fā)的事故，在路上安裝高清攝像頭進行監(jiān)督并以引作為整治依據(jù)而且取得一定成效。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第一段“The Australian state of New South Wales rolled out “high definition detection cameras" on Sunday, designed to catch drivers using cell phones behind the wheel.”可知，為了抓到那些開車打電話的司機，澳大利亞政府開展高清攝像頭的工作。開車打電話是違法的，是安裝攝像頭的主要原因，所以結(jié)合選項，可以得出C項符合題意。

【2】詞意猜測題。文章中講“Images identified as being likely to contain a driver illegally using a cell phone would then be verified by traffic police.”那些被證實司機在開車違法打電話的照片會被交通法則怎么樣，結(jié)合選項，A. 描述；B. 修復(fù)；C. 編輯；D. （作為證所）證實，核實。被拍照片可以從第五段“, drivers caught out by the technology would receive a warning letter, Transport for New South Wales said in a statement, after which the drivers would face a fine of up to $344, or $457 in a school zone, and loss of points on their drivers' license.”看出是作為懲罰違法司機的證據(jù)用的，故選D。

【3】推理判斷題。A. Locations of the cameras will be informed in advance. 攝像頭的位置是提前被告知的。而文中第四段“45 portable cameras would be set up across the state, in unknown locations, and without warning signs”可知，45便攜設(shè)想頭會被放置在不知道的地方，也不會有警告標(biāo)識出現(xiàn)。因此A項錯誤。C. Illegal drivers will be fined once cameras are set up. 違法司機在攝像頭一旦安裝了被抓了就會被罰款。而文中第六段“drivers caught out by the technology would receive a warning letter, Transport for New South Wales said in a statement, after which the drivers would face a fine of up to $344, or $457 in a school zone, and loss of points on their drivers' license.”司機被抓后會收到一封警告信，之后會面臨高達344美金罰款或者457美金在校區(qū)附近的罰款，并且扣除駕駛證分?jǐn)?shù)，C項內(nèi)容與原文不符，故C項錯誤。而B. Illegal driving in school zones is punished more severely.在校區(qū)附近違法開車會有更嚴(yán)重的懲罰。文章中會有兩種罰款，一個是高達344美金的罰款，而另一個校區(qū)附近的罰款則是457美金，所以B項符合題意。D. Cameras are the first attempt for the government to cut road deaths. 為了降低因交通事故造成的死亡率，安裝攝像頭是政府的第一次嘗試。而文中“launching mobile phone detection cameras is another way we will do this.”安裝移動攝像頭是另一個方式，由此可見安裝攝像頭不是政府的第一個嘗試，故D項錯誤。結(jié)合選項，B項正確認(rèn)。

【4】推理判斷題。從文章最后一段官員所說，根據(jù)官方數(shù)據(jù)顯示，相對于2018年死亡人數(shù)354，今年因交通事故造成的死亡人數(shù)為329，人數(shù)比2018年有所降低，結(jié)合選項，A. Supportive.支持的； B. Disapproving 反對的；C. Doubtful 懷疑的D. Unconcerned不關(guān)心的。官方報道因交通事故造成的死亡人數(shù)降低，官方態(tài)度肯定是對這個嘗試是支持的，故選A。

推理判斷題是需要將選項與文章相關(guān)內(nèi)容進行一一比對，在比對過程中一定要仔細(xì)查看，認(rèn)真分析，找出與文章不符的地方，發(fā)現(xiàn)錯誤，找出正確答案。比如第3小題，A項是把文章中“unknown locations, and without warning signs”沒有警示標(biāo)識，不知道位置換成了“Locations of the cameras will be informed in advance”位置被提前告知，A項是錯誤的。D項是安裝攝像頭是政府的第一次嘗試，而文章中可以從“another way”可知，并不是第一次嘗試，所以D項錯誤。
