Answer 1

分析 本文主要介绍从下个月起，英国将实行一种新的交通法规：当外国司机在英国违反了交通法，将被处以900英镑的罚款．如果被罚款的外国司机向法院申诉获胜，这笔罚款将被退还．

解答 60--63 BDDC
60．B 推理判断题．本文第一自然段是简单介绍英国的新交通法规．故选B．
61．D 计算题．根据第一和第二段可知，如果违法了交通法，将会面临现场支付多达900英镑的罚金的处罚．如果肇事司机没有足够的现金，信用卡也不能用，在支付罚金之前他的车辆将会被扣留．同时为了拿回他的车，他还要支付80英镑的附加费用，即：900+80=980．故选D．但文中缺少"and they will face an additional fee of &80 for getting back their vehicles"，否则，无法作答．
62．D 细节理解题．根据最后一段Foreign drivers will not get points as punishment added to their licenses，while British drivers will可知，不过外国司机不会被在驾驶照扣分然后英国本土司机会．故选D．
63．C  推理判断题．根据第六自然段和第七自然段的首句可知，对外国司机实行一种新的交通法规主要是为了减少交通事故．故选C．

点评 新闻一般采用"倒金字塔"式结构（即先说结果，再说重要事实，最后说次要内容），但有的通讯叙述方比较灵活多变，有顺叙、倒叙、中间或许还会有插叙、补叙等叙述方法，这就要求我们在阅读时特别关注．必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质．
