If you haven’t heard or seen anything about road rage in the last few months, you’ve probably been avoiding the media. There have been countless stories about this new and scary phenomenon, considered a type of aggressive driving. If you drive, you have more than likely encountered aggressive driving.
While drunk driving remains a critical problem, the facts about aggressive driving are surely as disturbing. For instance, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 41,907 people died on the highways last year. Of those fatalities, the agency estimates that about two-thirds were caused at least in part by aggressive driving behavior.
Why is this phenomenon occurring more than ever now, and why is it something that seemed almost nonexistent a few short years ago? Experts have several theories, and all are probably partially correct. One suggestion is sheer overcrowding. In the last decade, the number of cars on the roads has increased by over 11%, and the number of miles driven has increased by 35%. Meanwhile, the number of new road miles has only increased by 1%. That means more cars in the same amount of space; and the problem is magnified in urban areas.
Also, people have less time and more things to do. With people working and trying to fit extra chores (琐事) and activities into the day, stress levels have never been higher. Stress creates anxiety, which leads to short tempers. These factors, when combined in certain situations, can spell road rage.
You may think you are the last person who would drive aggressively, but you might be surprised. For instance, have you ever yelled out loud at a slower driver, honked (按喇叭) long and hard at another car, or sped up to keep another driver from passing? If you recognize yourself in any of these situations, watch out!
Whether you are getting angry at other drivers or if another driver is visibly upset with you, there are things you can do to avoid major confrontations. If you are susceptible (受影响的) to road rage, the key is to discharge your emotion in a healthy way. If you are the target of another driver’s rage, do everything possible to get away from the other driver safely, including avoiding eye contact and getting out of their way. [br] What do we learn from the first paragraph?
选项
A、The media coined the term "Road Rage" only a few months ago.
B、People have been raged by media reports and want to avoid them.
C、People not interested in the media know little about recent happenings.
D、Road rage has received much media coverage in the last few months.
答案
D
解析
根据题干中的first paragraph将本题出处定位到首段。该段提到,如果你在过去的几个月内没有听过或者见过与激进驾驶有关的任何事情,你很可能是没有看过媒体报道。有无数的报道都是有关这种新的、可怕的现象……。由此可知,在过去的几个月内,激进驾驶被媒体广泛报道过,故答案为[D]。文中提到媒体广泛报道了“Road Rage”这一现象,但并未说“Road Rage”是媒体杜撰的,故排除[A]。[B]是针对avoiding the media设的干扰项。[C]是针对首段首句设的干扰项。
