　　(2015·吉林二模)

　　In Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty­one hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know too well how bad the traffic can be. “There're too many cars, and you can't move around a lot.”

　　Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.

　　He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house.

　　“What's unique is that we use a lot of data that's currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what's going to happen in front of you when you leave home.”

　　Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahahi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.

　　“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this.”

　　Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.

　　语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。在洛杉矶，交通阻塞非常严重。赛勒斯·谢哈比教授决定开发一款名叫ClearPath的系统，这个系统可以利用历史数据，在司机出发前就可以预测道路的交通状况。

　　1．Drivers in Los Angeles were mentioned in order to ________.

　　A．show care for themB．introduce their life

　　C．solve traffic problems D．raise the topic

　　答案：D　推理判断题。文章第一段提到洛杉矶的交通阻塞非常严重，洛杉矶的司机对这一交通情况十分了解，也感到很无奈。提到司机的目的是为了引出下文，提出本文的主题。故选D项。

　　2．What is unique about ClearPath?

　　A．It can use a lot of information all over the world.

　　B．It can ensure that you will never be late for work.

　　C．It helps drivers see clearly what happens on the road.

　　D．It helps drivers know the road conditions ahead of time.

　　答案：D　细节理解题。根据第四段“What's unique is that we use a lot of data that's currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what's going to happen in front of you when you leave home.”可知，ClearPath系统可以分析多种数据，提前预测道路交通状况。故选D项。

　　3．The underlined word “hits” in the fifth paragraph probably means ________.

　　A．have an accident

　　B．get to

　　C．turn left or right

　　D．collect traffic data

　　答案：B　词义猜测题。根据第四段内容可知，在司机出发之前，这个系统会对路况进行分析。由此推断，before the driver hits the road意为“在司机上路之前”，hit意为“到达”。故选B项。

　　4．What's Professor Shahabi's attitude toward his invention?

　　A．Disappointed. B．Proud.

　　C．Optimistic. D．Worried.

　　答案：C　推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句、第六段以及最后一段可知，谢哈比教授认为他发明的系统有希望应用于全国乃至全世界各个国家，并且他希望能和一些公司分享自己的新发明。由此推断，他认为新发明的前景很乐观。故选C项。

　　B

　　Drunken driving—sometimes called America's socially accepted form of murder—has become a national epidemic (传染病). Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken drivers, adding up to an incredible 250, 000 over the past decade.

　　A drunken driver is usually defined as one with a 0.10 blood content or roughly three beers, glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American man image and judges were tolerant (宽容的) in most courts, but the drunken slaughter (残杀) has recently caused so many well publicized tragedies, especially involving young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant.

　　Twenty states have raised the legal drinking to 21, reversing a trend in the 1960s to reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18 to 20­year­old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.

　　Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by educational programs to help young people to develop “responsible attitudes” about drinking and teach them to resist (抵抗) pressure to drink.

　　Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities (灾祸). Some states are also penalizing (处罚) bars for serving customers too many drinks. A tavern in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was “obviously intosxicated (喝醉的)” and later drove off the road, killing a nine­year­old boy.

　　As the fatalities continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak well of the 13 years of national prohibition (禁止) of alcohol that began in 1919, what President Hover called the “noble experiment”. They forget that legal prohibition didn't stop drinking, but encouraged political corruption (腐败) and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no easy solution.

　　5．Drunken driving has become a major problem in America because ________.

　　A．most Americans are heavy drinkers

　　B．Americans are now less shocked by road accidents

　　C．accidents attract too much publicity

　　D．drinking is a socially accepted habit in America

　　答案：D　主旨大意题。文章开头作者即指出，酒后驾驶已经成了美国一种“尚可忍受的谋杀”，又在第二段中说，“Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American man image....”能喝酒以前是美国男性形象的一部分……。这说明喝酒是一种为社会所接受的行为。A是错误的，因为文中没有提到美国大多数男人都是酒鬼。B是错误的，并不是如今的美国人已经对车祸见怪不怪了。C的内容和本题不相干。酒后驾驶成为美国一个公害并不是因为酗酒吸引了很多公众的注意力。故正确答案为D。

　　6．Statistics issued in New Jersey suggested that ________.

　　A．many drivers have not reached the legal driving age

　　B．young drivers were often bad drivers

　　C．more people took no drinking in the 1960s

　　D．the legal drinking age should be raised

　　答案：D　细节理解题。文章在第三段中举新泽西州的例子是为了说明，降低青少年可以饮酒的年龄导致酒后驾驶在车祸中丧生的人数成倍增长，新泽西州不得不恢复了过去的合法饮酒年龄。故正确答案为D。

　　7．Laws recently introduced in some states have ________.

　　A．reduced the number of convictions

　　B．resulted in fewer serious accidents

　　C．prevented bars from serving drunken customers

　　D．specified the amount drivers can drink

　　答案：B　细节理解题。文章第五段开头说，“Tough new laws have led to increased arrests and tests and, in many areas already, to a marked decline in fatalities.”新实施的更严格的法律使得更多的人被捕或者接受测试，并且在许多地区都大幅度地减少了车祸的伤亡人数。故正确答案为B。

　　8．The problem of drunken driving is difficult to solve because ________.

　　A．alcohol is easily accessible

　　B．drinking is linked to organized crime

　　C．legal prohibiting has already failed

　　D．legislation alone is not sufficient

　　答案：C　细节理解题。在文章的最后一段，作者提出对现状的忧虑。有些人提出应该像过去那样对酒精实行严格管制，但是实践已经证明了这只能导致一些人从非法的渠道买酒，并且助长了官员的腐败和犯罪现象。因此解决酒后驾驶的问题和解决吸毒的问题一样，任重而道远。故正确答案为C。
