2014 届高考英语二轮专题复习阅读理解极限突破测试卷(18) <br />阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上 <br />将该项涂黑。 <br /> From the health point of view we are living in a wonderful age. A large number <br />of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. But though <br />the pos sibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every <br />day we witness the incredible killing of people on the roads. Man is opposite to <br />the motor-car! It is a neverending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people <br />are killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen. <br /> It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering-wheel(方向 <br />盘) , his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the <br />motor-car often brings out a man's worst qualities. People who are normally quiet <br />and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They <br />are rude, ill-mannered and aggressive. All their hidden frustrations and <br />disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving. <br /> The surprising thing is that society smiles on the motorist and seems to forgive <br />the behaviour. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities and towns are made <br />ugly by huge car parks. <br /> It is high time a world law were created to reduce this senseless waste of human <br />life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are not strict and even <br />the strictest are not strict enough. A law which was universally accepted could only <br />have a beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some things <br />that might be done. The driving test should be made to a fixed standard and far more <br />difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years <br />or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised <br />to at least 21 ; all vehicles should be put through strict annual tests for safety. <br />Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be mad much stricter. <br />Driving speed should be limited on all roads. These measures may sound extremely <br />severe. But surely nothing should be considered difficult if it results in reducing <br />the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not <br />motor-cars. <br />56. The main idea of this passage is______. <br /> A. traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists <br /> B. thousands of people in the world are killed each year <br /> C. only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents <br /> D. the laws of some countries about driving are too strict <br />57. Which of the following is right according to the passage? <br /> A. It is right to build huge car parks in cities and towns. <br /> B. all the drivers must be asked to take a test ev...
