Question

4．A．Advantages of removing traffic signals
B．Opinions of the public
C．Opinions of the creator
D．The experiment with on light roads
E．Problems from abolishing traffic signals
F．Reasons for abolishing traffic signals

（61）F
What causes traffic jams？Too much cars，right？No!Some Brits are now saying that traffic lights are to blame for much of the congestion．
（62）A
A report from the Institute of Economic Affairs，a UK think tank（智囊团），argues that abolishing traffic signals would decrease congestion，reduce exhaust emissions（废气排放） and improve safety．The report said that removing lights should also prevent other bad behavior caused by signals，such as speeding up to catch a green light．It would also avoid the wasted time when drivers have to sit at a red light even if no one is using the green．
（63）D
The idea may sound strange，but it's not new．Seven cities and regions in Europe are experimenting with no-light roads．Drachten in the Netherlands has got rid of 16 of its traffic light crossings and changed the other two to roundabouts under a"shared space"scheme．At crossings，cyclists dutifully raise their arm when they want to make a turn，and drivers follow a first-arrived，first-through approach and communicate by hand signals，nods and waving．The result？Typical journey time has been cut in half，and accidents and congestion have mostly disappeared．
（64）C
There have been small collisions but no problem，said Hans Monderman creator of the scheme．"We want small accidents，in order to prevent serious ones．It works well because it's dangerous．The driver has to be responsible for his or her own risk．"The many rules take away the ability to be considerate，"Monderman added．"We're losing our responsibility for socially responsible behavior．"
（65）B
So far，Drachten's locals have called the experiment a success．"I am used to it now，"said Helena Spaanstra，24．"You drive more slowly and carefully，but somehow you seem to get around town quicker．"Tony Ooosward，70，was equally enthusiastic．"I am a walker and now you are the boss at the crossroads，everyone waits for you．But at the same time walkers wait until there are a number of people wanting to cross at the same time．"

Answer 1

分析 文章第一部分介绍了废除交通灯的原因；第二部分分析了废除交通灯导致的问题；第三部分例举了欧洲一些地区做的实验；第四部分引出提议创立者的观点；第五部分针对废除交通信号灯问题，不同人对此举的不同看法．

解答 61．F 下文理解 抓住下面一段中的关键词，What causes traffic jams？Too much cars'light？句意：什么导致了交通堵塞，太多的汽车灯．说明此段是要废除交通灯的原因，所以选F，
62．A  上下文逻辑 根据下面一段中的关键词，abolishing traffic signals would decrease congestion，reduce exhaust emissions（废气排放） and improve safety．The report said that removing lights should also prevent other bad behavior caused by signals，such as speeding up to catch a green light．是废除交通灯能减少拥挤，减少废气排放，提高安全指数，以及阻止由信号灯引起的加速赶绿灯的不良行为．所以选A，Advantages of removing traffic signals移除交通灯的好处，优点，
63．D．下文理解  同样抓住下面一段中的关键词experimenting with no-light roads讲一些地区在做实验，开设没有交通灯的道路所以选D，
64．C 下文理解 根据下一段中的关键词said Hans Monderman creator of the scheme．是此提议创立者汉斯的 观点，所以选C，
65．B．下文理解 抓住下面一段中的关键词．"I am used to it now，"said Helena Spaanstra，24．"You drive more slowly and carefully，but somehow you seem to get around town quicker．"Tony Ooosward，70，was equally enthusiastic．，句意为24岁的Helena说她已习惯没有交通灯，70岁的Tony对此举同样有热情，例举了不同年龄层的人对废除交通灯此举的 赞成，所以选B．

点评 在配对阅读中，有一个非常明显的 特征，在 选项中，5个句子中有6个选项供你选择，对于这种情况，我们用抓关键词的 同时采用排除法可达到比较好的效果．
