　　Believe it or not, optical illusion(错觉)can cut highway crashes.

　　Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. But stripes, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.

　　Now the American Automobile Association Foundation(基金会)for Traffic Safety in Washington D. C. is planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.

　　Excessive(too great)speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards(danger)are the greatest curves, exit slopes, traffic circles and bridges.

　　Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.

　　Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.

　　1. The passage mainly discusses　.

　　A. a new way of highway speed control

　　B. a new pattern for painting highways

　　C. a new way of training drivers

　　D. a new type of optical illusion

　　2. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that　.

　　A. they should avoid speed-related hazards

　　B. they are driving in the wrong lane

　　C. they should slow down their speed

　　D. they are coming near to the speed limit

　　3. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former　.

　　A. can keep drivers awake

　　B. can cut road accidents in half

　　C. will look more attractive

　　D. will have a longer effect on drivers

　　4. The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to　.

　　A. try out the Japanese method in certain areas

　　B. change the road signs across the country

　　C. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevrons

　　D. repeat the Japanese road patterns

　　5. What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?

　　A. They are suitable only on broad roads.

　　B. They are falling out of use in the United States.

　　C. They are ignored in a long period of time.

　　D. They cannot be used successfully to traffic circles.

　　B

　　Cabs, the underground, driving. . . in London these modes of transport are expensive. As a student on a budget, I couldn’t afford the 30 pounds fare for a cab. Even a bus was one pound and 20 pence for a single ticket. I didn’t need to travel this way anyway. I had Mabel—my London bike.

　　When I moved to Beijing, like every foreigner, I was delighted to discover I could take a cab for cheaper than a single journey on the “Tube”. But something was wrong. I missed Mabel. That was when I met Mandarin Mabel, also known as Mandy, my Beijing bike.

　　In many ways, Beijing is made for cycling. It is flat, an easy terrain(地形)compared with hilly London. The city’s north/south/east/west grid structure is also easier to navigate(确定路线)than London’s unplanned, twisting(曲折的)streets.

　　However, Beijing comes completely with its own dangers. The rules of the road are flexible(灵活的). Bikes, cars and pedestrians(行人)all float up and down lanes in both directions.

　　Compared with London’s terrible cycle paths, in Beijing, every road has a huge, wide cycle lane. But cars, cabs and motorbikes see no reason why they shouldn’t use these as a shortcut, and why they shouldn’t beep(鸣笛)at you to get out of their way when they do.

　　Despite the beeping, though, Beijing traffic is more good-natured. In London, the road is an active war zone. People shout, swear(咒骂)and beat on each other’s windows.

　　Beijing drivers never get actively angry. In fact, often they even don’t see cyclists. Obviously that means it’s up to the cyclist to see them.

　　Mandy is a true Beijing bike. She is rusty(生锈的), she makes loud noises every time you push her pedals(踏板)and I have had to make several emergency repair stops for her.

　　But cycling around Beijing on a sunny day is a joy. It is just me, Mandy and the city.

　　6. What does the author want to do?

　　A. To tell us what makes the author love cycling.

　　B. To compare cycling in Beijing with that in London.

　　C. To introduce the differences between Mabel and Mandy.

　　D. To explain why Beijing is made for cycling.

　　7. What can we conclude from the first paragraph?

　　A. Bicycles are the most popular means of transport in London.

　　B. To save money, the author used to travel around by bus in London.

　　C. The expense of public transport makes some people want to buy a bike.

　　D. The author didn’t travel around London because of the high cost of public transport.

　　8. What does the author think of cycling around Beijing?

　　A. The city’s twisting streets make it hard for the rider to find the way.

　　B. Cars, cabs and motorbikes on the cycle lane pose a threat to cyclists.

　　C. With the flat terrain and wide cycle lanes, it’s safer to cycle in Beijing than in London.

　　D. The traffic in Beijing is worse than that in London due to the city’s flexible road rules.

　　9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?

　　A. In the author’s view, Beijing drivers are less polite than London drivers.

　　B. In London, cars, cabs and motorbikes are allowed to use the cycle paths.

　　C. People in Beijing are at ease about traffic rules.

　　D. Mandy breaks down so easily that it makes the author miss her London bike Mabel.
