职称英语理工AB类阅读理解精选练习题(1)

　　Motoring Technology 　　Traveling at speed has always been risky. One cutting edge area of research in motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistants. They can ensure you dont miss crucial road signs or fall asleep. The use of artificial intelligence software allows these assistants to monitor your driving and makes sure your phone or radio doesnt distract you at a vital moment. Most crashes result from human and not mechanical faults. 　　And improvements to seat belts, pedal controls and tyres are making driving smoother and safer. The color of a car has been found to be linked with safety, as have, less surprisingly, size and shape. 　　But whatever is in the fuel tank, you dont want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many innovations, some using satellite tracking and remote communications, to fight against car theft. These communication systems can also come into play if you crash, automatically calling for help. 　　1. What are researchers interested in doing as the road accidents worldwide increase to a shocking rate? 　　B. they are analyzing road deaths occurring worldwide every year. 　　D. they are designing fully automatic cars 　　A. because drivers fall asleep 　　C. because of engine failure 　　3. Which of the safety developments is NOT mentioned in the passage? 　　B. devices that help drivers to see through big vehicles 　　D. windscreens that can help drivers to improve their vision 　　A. to prevent car thieves from getting into your car 　　C. to call for help when the car gets jammed in the traffic 　　5 What is true of robotic drivers? 　　B. robotic drivers are not allowed to drive on busy roads 　　D. robotic drivers are too expensive to use 　　答案与解析： 　　1.2 million road deaths worldwide occur each year, plus a further 50 million injuries. To reduce car crash rate, much research now is focused on safety and new fuels though some electric vehicle and biofuel research aims at going faster. 　　Some safety developments aim to improve your vision. Radar can spot obstacles in fog, while other technology sees through high-sided vehicles blocking your view. 　　with safety, as have, less surprisingly, size and shape. 　　But whatever is in the fuel tank, you dont want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many innovations, some using satellite tracking and remote communications, to fight against car theft. These communication systems can also come into play if you crash, automatically calling for help. 　　文章一开始就谈及道路死亡和伤亡人数, 因此猜测标题中提到的驾车技术可能与车祸的预防有关。接下来的一句中出现了文章标题核心词呼应的词语research， 该句说为了减少车祸发生率， 现在许多研究关注汽车的安全性和新型燃料的使用， 根据该句内容进一步确认文章标题中提到的驾车技术实际上涉及到汽车安全技术和新型燃料的使用。 接下来的段落中具体提到了在哪些方面进行改进， 以提高汽车驾驶的安全性。综合以上分析确认文章主题涉及汽车安全技术和新型燃料的使用。 第1段第2句就是文章主题句。 　　1. What are researchers interested in doing as the road accidents worldwide increase to a shocking rate? 　　B. they are analyzing road deaths occurring worldwide every year. 　　D. they are designing fully automatic cars 　　解题思路2： 问题句中出现了修饰词语， 利用这些修饰结构作为答案线索， 这样在文章中找到答案相关句： 　　第1段第1句是答案相关句)，但是该句并没有说研究者们在做什么， 因此关注后面的句子。 接下来的一句说为了减少车祸发生率， 现在许多研究关注汽车的安全性和新型燃料的使用，该句内容与C呼应， 因此C是答案。 　　提示： 当问题句及被选项中出现了修饰词语结构作为答案线索， 在文章中查找答案相关句， 从而快速确认答案。 　　A. because drivers fall asleep 　　C. because of engine failure 　　B.解析：问题问根据第2段， 大多数车祸发生是因为... 利用问题句中的修饰词most作为答案线索， 这样在文章中找到答案相关句Traveling at speed has always been risky. One cutting edge area of research in motoring safety is the use of digital in-car assistants. They can ensure you dont miss crucial road signs or fall asleep. The use of artificial intelligence software allows these assistants to monitor your driving and makes sure your phone or radio doesnt distract you at a vital moment. Most crashes result from human and not mechanical faults.该句说大多数的撞车事故造成的原因是由于人为的错误而不是由机械故障， 因此B是答案。 　　A. radars that can help drivers to see obstacles in fog 　　C. improvements in seat belts, pedal controls and tyres轮胎 　　D. 解析： 问题问下列哪项安全技术在段落中没有被提到?问题句中没有词语或结构可作为答案线索， 因此关注被选项， 被选项中均涉及到细节信息， 因此分别利用被选项中的细节信息词作为答案线索， 在文章中查找与被选项分别形成呼应的句子， 这样在文章中找到答案相关句：结构作为答案相关句， 在文章中找到对应的答案相关句。 　　And improvements to seat belts, pedal controls and tyres are making driving smoother and safer. The color of a car has been found to be linked 　　选项A， B和C在文章中都有呼应的信息， 只有D没有呼应的信息， 因此D是答案。 　　A. to prevent car thieves from getting into your car 　　C. to call for help when the car gets ， 染上)jammed in the traffic 　　C. 解析： 问题问下列那项不是使用人造卫星跟踪和远程通讯这些革新技术的目的?问题句中出现了细节信息结构作为答案线索， 这样在文章中找到答案相关句：But whatever is in the fuel tank, you dont want a thief in the driving seat and there have been many innovations, some using satellite tracking and remote communications, to fight against car theft. These communication systems can also come into play if you crash, automatically calling for help. 　　考点： 代词的指代内容)， 现在分词结构， 动词短语 　　A. it will take, 得到, 拿走) some time before robotic drivers can be put to practical use 　　C. robotic drivers can never replace human drivers 　　A. 解析: 问题问下列哪个说法与文章中关于机器人驾驶员的说法一致? 结合文章主题排除C 和D, 借助常识排除B, 因此推测A可能是答案. 　　Accidents cause many traffic jams, but there are more subtle interplays between vehicles that can cause jams even on a clear but busy road, such jams can be analyzed using statistical tools. Robotic drivers could be programmed to make traffic flow smoothly and will perhaps one day be everyones personal chauffeur, but their latest efforts suggest that wont be soon. 　　考点： 考察代词的指代内容。提示：如果答案相关句中含有but， however等引导的转折结构， 则直接考点往往在该转折结构处。
