4.Forget Cyclists,Pedestrians are Real Danger
We are having a debate about this topic.Here are some letters from our readers.
■Yes,many cyclists behave dangerously.Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists.But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders.
People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone,quite unaware of what is going on around them.They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere.The rest of us have to evade (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision.
The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be,at least for the moment,in worlds of their own that are,to them,much more important than the welfare of others.
--Michael Horan
■I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints,May 29).I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads.
I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me.
The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used.
The police do nothing.What a laugh they are!
The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets,fluorescent (发荧光的) jacket and lights at night and in the morning they should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them.
--Carol Harvey
■Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians),ride at speed along the pavements,and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red.
I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him.
Other road users,including horse riders,manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists?
It's about time they had to be registered and insured,so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle,or cause an accident,at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim.
--JML
Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper.

56.Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show thatC.
A.drivers should be polite to cyclists
B.road accidents can actually be avoided
C.sine pedestrians are a threat to road safety
D.walking while using phones hurts one's eyes
57.Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists shouldB.
A.be provided with enough roads
B.be asked to ride on their own lanes
C.be made to pay less tax for cycling
D.be fined for laughing at policemen
58.What is a complaint of JML?B
A.Very few drivers are insured.
B.Cyclists ride fast on pavements.
C.Pedestrians go through red traffic lights.
D.Horse riders disrespect other road users.

A.real source of road danger
B.ways to improve road facilities
C.measures to punish road offences
D.increased awareness of road rules.

分析 本文主要围绕一个主题展开一场争论,即:到底谁才是马路安全隐患的真正威胁.许多骑自行车的人的行为的确很危险,因为行人有时会一边走路,一边看手机,不顾自己的安全.而自行车骑行者认为道路只属于他们,会在人行道上肆无忌惮的骑.Carol Harvey认为自行车骑行者应该走自己的道,戴头盔,早晨晚上要穿发光的衣服,要适当地纳税,而且要因为不安要求着装被罚款.

解答 56.C 细节理解题.根据第一段的最后一句"But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders."可知,答案为C.  57.B 细节理解题. 根据第八段的第一句"The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets,fluorescent (发荧光的) jacket and lights at night and in the morning they should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them."可知,The cyclists 应该走他们自己的车道.故选B项.
58.B   细节理解题.根据第九段第一句"Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians),ride at speed along the pavements,and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red."可知,JML抱怨的是骑自行车的人骑的速度太快.故选B项. 
59.D 词义猜测题.由最后一段的最后一句"It's about time they had to be registered and insured,so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle,or cause an accident,at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim."可知,JML希望对自行车拥有者进行登记,当他们撞到行人、车辆或制造出车祸时,他们能够被追查到.所以此处they指 Cyclists.故选D项.
60.A 主旨大意题.根据文章的标题和几个读者的来信不难发现文章主要是围绕到底谁才是马路安全隐患的真正威胁.故选A.

点评 做此类题型,首先要读懂全文,但是并不要每一句都弄懂,只要能根据文章内容在文中找出每一个问题的支持句即可.

   Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes.f catching more dollar payments.Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships,the success rate(率)has gone down,though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.
