Question

【題目】 You must have seen it a lot in Chinese cities: people ride electric scooters(電動滑板車）to work or for fun.

Riding electric scooters could seem cool at first sight. The scooter balances by itself with one or two wheels. Some of them also have a handle(手柄). Riders lean forward to make the scooter go faster. It also can stop if the riders shift their weight backwards.

However, starting from the end of August, people can no longer ride electric scooters on public roads. It is in the interests of traffic safety, according to Beijing's traffic authorities. There will be a 10 yuan fine for those who ride scooters on the road. This was followed by Shanghai's decision to get scooters off the road last month.

"The one-wheeled scooters can go as fast as 30km an hour and they don't have brakes(剎車)，" a traffic policeman told Beijing Youth Daily. "The two-wheeled scooters can even go as fast as cars at 60 km an hour. But their brakes cannot compete with those of a car. Scooters are likely to run into cars or buses or hurt people on roads."

But this doesn't mean that scooters are only dangerous on public roads. People who ride them indoors or in their living places should also be careful, according to the Beijing Consumer Association.

There are still no national safety standards for electric scooters and some of them are very dangerous.

The association tested more than 20 electric scooters from different companies and found that most had safety problems.19 scooters couldn't come to a full stop in less than 4 meters. This could be very dangerous.

【4】What's the result of the association's test?

A.Scooter companies wouldn’t follow the national safety standards.

B.Most companies that make scooters have safety problems.

C.Scooters can't come to a complete stop by themselves.

D.About 95 percent of scooters have the problem of stopping.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

本文介紹了隨著人們環(huán)保意識的增強(qiáng)和科技的發(fā)展，有些人開始選擇一種即環(huán)保又科技感十足的交通工具——電動滑板車。但是，電動滑板車在給人們帶來便利的同時(shí)，也存在一些安全隱患。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“It also can stop if the riders shift their weight backwards.”可知，騎電動滑板車的人往后仰可以把它剎住。故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“The two-wheeled scooters can even go as fast as cars at 60km an hour.”兩輪電動滑板車的時(shí)速甚至可以達(dá)到60公里。以及下文“Scooters are likely to run into cars or buses or hurt people on roads.”滑板車很可能會撞上汽車或公共汽車，或者在路上傷人�？梢酝浦�those指代文中的brakes（剎車），此處是指兩輪滑板車的剎車無法與汽車的剎車相比（即：兩輪滑板車的車速快而剎車又不好），因此才有可能會撞上汽車或公共汽車，或者在路上傷人。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“The scooter balances by itself with one or two wheels.”滑板車用一個(gè)或兩個(gè)輪子來保持平衡�？芍�，滑板車上可以有一個(gè)或兩個(gè)輪子。因此A正確；根據(jù)“The one-wheeled scooters can go as fast as 30km an hour,”單輪滑板車的時(shí)速可以達(dá)到30公里。不如汽車跑得快。因此B錯誤；根據(jù)“But their brakes cannot compete with those of a car.”但他們的剎車無法與汽車的相比�？芍�，兩輪滑板車的剎車和汽車的不一樣。因此C錯誤；根據(jù)“People who ride them indoors or in their living places should also be careful,”在室內(nèi)或生活場所騎車的人也應(yīng)該小心�？芍�，如果人們在室內(nèi)使用滑板車，也是會有危險(xiǎn)的。因此D錯誤。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“The association tested more than 20 electric scooters from different companies and found that most had safety problems. 19 scooters couldn't come to a full stop in less than 4 meters.”協(xié)會測試了來自不同公司的20多輛電動滑板車，發(fā)現(xiàn)大多數(shù)都存在安全問題。19輛電動滑板車在不到4米的距離內(nèi)無法完全停下來�？芍�，測試了20多個(gè)電動滑板車，19個(gè)有安全問題，19除以20=0.95，即大約95%的電動滑板車有問題。故選D。
