Accidents are caused; they don’t just happen. The reason may be easy to see: a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road, an overloaded truck. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune — frustration, tiredness or just bad temper — that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.
Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.
By definition, an accident is something you can not predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.
It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are injured from work due to accidents. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment - - noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work. [br] Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor of accidents?
选项
A、Mood.
B、Tiredness.
C、Carelessness.
D、Weather.
答案
D
解析
本题属于事实细节题,提问的是下面哪个方面并没有作为事故的因素被提及。文章主要谈论的是引起事故的人为因素,特别是心理因素,故选项D)中提到的天气应该不是作者在本文中要强调的内容;再者,根据文章第一段中“But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune—frustration,tiredness or just bad temper...”以及最后一段中的“These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment—noise and fatigue,boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this”,选项A)“情绪”、选项B)“疲劳”、选项C)“粗心大意”在文章中都提到了,故选项D)为本题答案。
