题目内容
7.A report,published in last week's Journal of the American Medical Association,offers a picture of how risky it is to get a lift from a teenage driver.Indeed,a l6-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal (致命) accident as a teenager driving alone.By contrast,the risk of death for drivers between 30and 59decreases with each additional passenger.The author also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased dramatically after 10p.m.,and especially after midnight.With passengers in the car,the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.
Robert Foss,a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center,says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with"really stupid behavior"than with just a lack of driving experience."The basic thing,"he says,"is that adults who are responsible for issuing (发放) licenses fail to recognize how skilled a task driving is."
Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to reduce the harm is to have so-called graduated licensing systems,in which getting a license is a slower process.A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult,followed by a period of driving at night with a limited number of passengers before graduating to get a full driving license.
Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes,according to recent studies.About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place,but only 10of those states have number limitation on passengers.California is the strictest,with a new driver prohibited from carrying any passenger under 20for the first six months.

分析 本文讲到青少年车祸频发,其中一个原因这些发证机关要对这些事负责.许多的地方已经开始采取措施.
解答 59-62 BBDD
59 B 推断题.结合文章一、二段可知,青少年司机在搭载乘客时驾车比不搭载乘客时驾车更加危险,而中老年司机则在有乘客时开车更安全;青少年司机在晚上10点后开车死亡率上升,午夜后最严重.综上可知,一个青少年司机,在午夜时搭载乘客开车是最危险的.故正确答案为B.
60 B 细节题.结合第二段第一句"Robert Foss…says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with'really stupid behavior'than with just a lack of driving experience"可知,Robert 认为青少年司机死亡率高与缺乏驾驶经验关系更大.故正确答案为B.
61 D 细节题.结合第三段最后一句"…is that adults who are responsible for issuing (发放) licenses fail to recognize how skilled a task driving is"可知,负责发放驾驶执照的人没能意识到驾驶是一个多么具有技术性的工作,因此,发放执照的人对于事故也是要负部分责任的.故正确答案为D.
62 D 细节题.结合第四段第一句"Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to reduce the harm is to have so-called graduated licensing systems"可知,研究者认为降低伤害的方法是建立一个所谓的分级发放驾照系统,即建议改进驾照发放系统.故正确答案为D.
