(22) Texting while driving was listed as a major cause of road deaths among young Americans back in 2013. A recent study said that 40 percent of American teens claim to have been in a car when the driver used a cell phone in a way that put people in danger. This sounds like a widespread disease, but it’s one that technology may now help to cure. T. J. Evarts, a 20-year-old inventor, has come up with a novel solution that could easily put texting drivers on notice. (23) It’s called Smart Wheel, and it’s designed to fit over the steering wheel of most standard vehicles to track whether or not the driver has two hands on the wheel at all times. (24) Evarts’s invention warns the drivers with a light and a sound when they hold the wheel with one hand only, but as soon as they place the other hand back on the wheel the light turns back to green and the sound stops. It also watches for what’s called “close by hands”, where both hands are close together near the top of the wheel so the driver can type with both thumbs and drive at the same time. (25) All the data Smart Wheel collects is also sent to a connected app, so any parents who install Smart Wheel can keep track of the teens’ driving habits. If they try to remove or damage the cover, that’s reported as well.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. What is a major cause of road deaths among young Americans?
23. What is Smart Wheel?
24. What happens if the driver has one hand on the wheel?
25. How do parents keep track of their teens’ driving habits?
选项
A、Chatting while driving.
B、Messaging while driving.
C、Driving under age.
D、Speeding on highways.
答案
B
解析
浏览四个选项,从选项中的chatting,driving,messaging,speeding等词可推测,此题与开车时的行为有关。题干问的是造成美国年轻人在道路交通事故中死亡的主要原因是什么。短文开头提到,在2013年,边开车边发短信被列为美国年轻人在道路交通事故中死亡的主要原因之一,故答案为B。A项(边开车边聊天)、C项(未达到法定驾驶年龄)和D项(在高速公路上超速驾驶)短文均未提及,故排除。
