Question

【题目】Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination(协调), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving link, driving will be affected.

Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.

The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:

● 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or

● 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or

● 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine (尿液).

Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.

Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.

The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens (样本) for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.

Drink driving is a criminal offence（违法犯罪行为）. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】

试题分析：驾驶不仅要控制档位、判断车速和距离，还要求你要能够预测到其他道路使用者将会做什么并对突发事件做好准备。而酒后的你是否依然能应对自如？作为一名负责任的驾驶员，在饮酒之前要三思。为了你自己和其他道路使用者的安全，饮酒之后请勿驾驶。

【1】C。段落大意题，由第一段可知：When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination(协调), slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving link, driving will be affected.饮酒后，酒精会进入我们的血液，影响我们的视力，判断力和协调能力，减缓我们的反应速度，增加我们出事故的风险，所以选C，饮酒对驾车的影响。

【2】D。代词指代题，画线词所在句表示将酒精从血液中清除是一个缓慢的过程，接着说的是采取如洗澡、喝茶或者咖啡的途径来加速这一过程是不可能的，所以it在这里指代的是将酒精排出体外的过程，选D. process。

【3】B。正误判断题。依据文章第二段第二句话可知，空腹喝酒及掺着果汁喝酒会提高吸收率，所以B项正确。

【4】A。细节理解题，文章第四段和第六段可知，被怀疑酒驾的司机需要接受检测，提供被检测的样本，所以选A。traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.故选A。
