题目内容
13.You may have experienced the annoyance of being fined because of parking illegally or finding your car towed away(拖走)after leaving it parked somewhere for a couple of minutes.But now a high-tech car sticker that's designed to be stuck to a car's windscreen could help motorists avoid such a situation.The TowStop sticker sends a text message to a driver when touched by a traffic policeman,to allow motorists to send a reply and give them time to move their cars immediately.Frankfurt-based IT consultant,Daniel Kalliontzis,came up with the idea and is raising money to put his£43sticker into production.
Car owners can put the sticker inside their car's windscreen,having set it up with key information,such as their phone number.The slim design will include a sensor(传感器)that,when touched by a traffic policeman,will send a text message warning a driver of a possible fine.The driver could then type a reply for the policeman using a smartphone,which will appear on the sticker's screen.
The smart sticker system will rely on the good will of traffic policemen and in a way,a German law.The law states:an officer has to choose the most efficient and inexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle.It could be cheaper for the government to call the driver than to tow his car.
Mail Online asked the Department of Transport whether the sticker could be used in the UK in a similar way.A spokesman said,"In England there is no legal duty to warn the motorist before issuing the ticket.However,a policeman does have the discretion not to issue a ticket if he doesn't think the situation is that bad or he just wants to issue a warning."
So far,Mr.Kalliontzis has raised just over£2,362of his£39,381goal.If he manages to raise the money,the stickers will be shipped in June 2015.But it appears that car owners using the smart system could get some unnecessary warning messages,because anyone could touch the smart sticker.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,主要介绍了一种智能贴纸,这种贴纸的使用可以方便交警与停车的车主联系,这样可以省去车主被开罚单和拖车的烦恼.但是由于各国法律的不同,在有些国家效果并不是很好.作者在介绍这种贴纸的同时,又提出了自己的疑问.
解答 28.A.推理判断题.根据第三段内容可推断出:本段是介绍这种高科技汽车贴纸的整个使用流程.所以这段主要讲述了汽车智能贴纸是如何工作,故选A.
29.B.推理判断题.根据第四段"…a German law.The law states:an officer has to choose the most efficient andinexpensive way for the car owner to remove the vehicle.Itcould be cheaper for the government to call the driver than to tow his car."及第五段"InEngland there is no legal duty to warn the motorist before issuing the ticket."可推断出,德国法律要求交警选择最有效、最廉价的方法解决问题,而在英国,交警没有法律义务去提醒机动车主移动车子.所以在英国的运行将不如在德国那样好,故选B.
30.C.词义猜测题.根据"In England there is no legal duty to warn themotorist before issuing the ticket.However,a policeman does have the discretion not to issue aticket if he doesn't think the situation is that bad or he just wants to issuea warning"可知,英国交警没有法律义务提醒机动车主移走车辆,但如果他们认为问题没那么严重,或者他只是想发出一个警告,他有自由不出示罚单,故选C.
31.D.主旨大意题.阅读短文可知本文主要讲述了一种智能贴纸,目的是为了结束违规停车交通罚单.但是由于各国法律的不同,在有些国家效果并不是很好.作者在介绍这种贴纸的同时,又提出了自己的疑问.故选D"违规停车交通罚单的结束?"
