Put the pedal to the metal, if you’re driving in Montana. That state is about to abandon the little loved 65mpb speed limit and, indeed, any limit at all. The state’s regulators have been wanting to do this for years, but until now were prevented by a federal law passed 22 years ago.
The end came on November 28th, when a new federal highway bill was signed into law by President Clinton. The president admitted misgivings, perhaps because his own father had been killed in a road accident, but it was clear that a veto would have been most unpopular. The old speed limit was "about the most disregarded law in America", notes Csaba Csere. editor of Car Driver magazine, A recent study, he said, found that the average speed on interstate highways in Michigan was 74mph. Until this week, the official limit was 55mph on urban freeways and 65mph on rural expressways.
Out west, where a motorist may travel 100 miles without seeing another car, nine states will immediately jump to at least 70mph, and Nevada, Wyoming and Kansas will go to 75mph; in Montana it is any speed you like in the daytime (though lorries must still keep to 65). Farther east, where traffic is denser and the weather less reliable, some states are likely to keep to 55 to 65mph.
The national speed limit was passed in 1973 when the first oil crisis had almost trebled fuel prices. In 1974, congress ordered a 50mph limit, raised to 55 when the oil crisis had passed. But by then safety enthusiasts were arguing that lower speed limits would sharply reduce road deaths, and they continued to arger their case even as Mr Cliton signed the bill this week. The change is "equivalent to a death sentence to thousands of Americans", says Joan Claybrook, a former head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. [br] After the new limit was signed into the law, the actual speed limit of each state is ______.
选项
答案
different (from each other)/quiet different
解析
本题问的是,新限制法案颁布后,各州的实际速度限制怎么样。这个题的答案在文中是找不到相应原文的,必经过总结后才能得山。第三段整个介绍了:西部九个州直接把速度提高到70英里/小时,内华达,怀俄明,堪萨斯提高至75英里川、时,蒙拿大更自由了,而东海岸地区,仍然为55—65英里/小时。经过分析,不难得山,各州情况很不相同。无论答案怎么写,但 different一词,是必须要有的。
