(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、The car keeps flashing its headlights.
B、The car slows down gradually to a halt.
C、They are alerted with a light and a sound.
D、They get a warning on their smart phone.
答案
C
解析
浏览四个选项,从选项中的flashing,slows down,halt,alerted,warning等词可推测,此题与做某事的后果有关。题干问的是如果司机单手握方向盘会发生什么。短文中间部分提到,当司机单手握方向盘的时候,这个装置就会通过亮灯和警报声来提醒他们,故答案为C。A项(汽车会不停地闪烁前灯)、B项(汽车会慢慢减速直到停止)和D项(他们会在智能手机上得到警告)短文均未提及,故排除。
