The popularity of mobile devices has had some unintended and even dangerous consequences. We now know that mobile communications are linked to a significant increase in distracted driving, resulting in injury and loss of life.
    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that in this year driver distraction was the cause of 18 percent of all fatal crashes—with 3,328 people killed—and crashes resulting in an injury—with 421,000 people wounded.
    Forty percent of all American teens say they have been in a car when the driver used a cell phone in a way that put people in danger, according to a survey.
    11 percent of drivers aged 18 to 20 who were involved in an automobile accident and survived admitted they were sending or receiving texts when they crashed.
    Distracted driving endangers life and property and the current levels of injury and loss are unacceptable. To stop this problem, the FCC is working with industry, safety organizations, and other government agencies to inform and educate the public about the dangers of distracted driving and is seeking to identify and facilitate the development of innovative technologies that could reduce the incidence of distracted driving. To help in this effort and share information, we created a dedicated website.
    Currently there is no national ban on texting or using a wireless phone while driving, but a number of states have passed laws banning texting or wireless phones or requiring hands-free use of wireless phones while driving.
    Parents shall give teen drivers simple, clear instructions not to use their wireless devices while driving. According to Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association, the easiest way to say it is: "On the road, off the phone." Before new drivers get their licenses, discuss the fact that taking their eyes off the road—even for a few seconds—could cost someone injury or even death.
    Children learn from their parent’s behavior. No one should text and drive. Be an example for your children and if you need to text or talk on the phone, pull over to a safe place.
    Become informed and be active. Review the information and the literature on our website. Set rules for yourself and your household regarding distracted driving. Tell family, friends and organizations to which you belong about the importance of driving without distractions. Take information to your children’s schools and ask that it be shared with students and parents.
20. What is linked to the increase of distracted driving according to this talk?
21. What is the FCC doing to reduce the incidence of using cell phones while driving?
22. How can parents be informed and active in preventing their children from distracted driving?

选项 A、Consequences of accidents.
B、Communications in driving.
C、Loss of life in accidents.
D、Use of mobile devices.

答案 D

解析 录音提到,移动通讯与驾驶中注意力不集中事件增多有关联,故D项“移动通讯设备的使用”为正确答案。A项“交通意外的后果”在录音中提到。B项指代不明,录音中讨论的是移动通讯与驾车之间的关系,并非笼统指代通讯方式。C项虽然是驾驶中注意力不集中造成的后果,但录音中并没有提到它与分心驾驶事件的增多有何联系。
