题目内容
(1) Mr. Brown (the motorist) (驾车人)
At about 9:20 p.m. on October 14th, I was driving along Market road in the direction of Midwick. I wanted to go to Sturham to collect my wife, who had been visiting some friends. I prepared to turn into Sturham Road, which was on my right. In the distance, I saw the lights of a car moving towards me but it was a long way from me. I put out my hand to show that I was going to turn right. Then I started to turn slowly towards Sturham Road. Suddenly there was a loud noise on the passenger’s (near) side of the cars. I stopped the car and got out. A motor-cycle (摩托车) had hit my car. The motor-cyclist had been thrown over the car. He was injured, so I ran to a shop to phone for help.
(2) Mr. Smith (the injured motor-cyclist)
On the evening of October 14th, I was going home along Market Road towards Newtown. I was riding my motor-cycle. I was going slowly because some of the street lights were out and the road was wet and slippery. Just before Sturham Road, a car suddenly drove right across my path. The driver did not flash his light to give a warning. I would not turn in time, so I hit the side of the car. When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital in Market Road.
(3) Mr. Lee (another motor-cyclist)
At about 9:10 p.m. on October 14,I left my home in Midwick. Ten minutes later I was riding my motor-cycle along the Marker Road. I was going to Newtown. There was a motor-cycle about 40 meters in front of me. It was not going very quickly. The man on it was riding near the curb(路边) but I was near the center of the road. The motor-cycle in front of me tried to turn to his right but there was no time. He hit the car and was injured. There was no car going along in front of us or put by the road.

【解析】
试题分析：本文是三位交通事故当事人对发生事故时的描述。
1.推理判断题。根据三个人的描述，可知Newtown和Midwick处在同一条路线上，但方向相对，两位骑摩托车的人都是从Midwick到Newtown，而司机是行驶在去Midwick的方向上，正当他向右拐进Sturham路时，被迎面过来的摩托车撞在汽车的左边。C
2.细节理解题。根据布朗先生和第一位骑摩托车的人的描述可知，布朗先生把摩托车灯误认为是汽车的灯，而且认为对面的汽车距离很远，In the distance, I saw the lights of a car moving towards me but it was a long way from me.所以他才向右拐到Sturham路上。D
3.根据布朗先生的描述，I put out my hand to show that I was going to turn right.当时他从车里伸出手示意要向右边转弯。这是严重违反交规的。作为汽车司机他应该打开右转向灯。选B。
4.推理判断题。在英国，汽车都是靠左行驶，司机在右边，乘客在左边。Suddenly there was a loud noise on the passenger’s (near) side of the cars.故选A。
