They also discovered that women have a【C2】______time negotiating crossroads, T-junctions and slip roads. The results are even more【C3】______given that men spend more time【C4】______than women. On average, men drive 60 percent of the time, and women 40 percent.
Michael Sivak, of the University of Michigan, said: " The results【C5】______that in certain crash situations, male-to-male crashes tend to be under-represented and【C6】______crashes tend to be over-represented. "
Dr. Sivak and his colleague Brandon Schoettle studied data from a nationally【C7】______sample of police-reported crashes in the US from 1988 to 2007. They【C8】______ to find that accidents involving two male drivers would make up 36.2 percent of all crashes, while female-female accidents would【C9】______15.8 percent and male-female 48 percent. 【C10】______, they discovered that accidents involving two women drivers were 20.5 percent, while male-male crashes were【C11】______ at 31.9 percent.

He said:" There are three【C18】______driver-related factors, including the【C19】______ of being at the wrong place at the wrong time, one’s own driving skills and the driving skills of【C20】______driver involved. " [br] 【C9】
选项
A、make for
B、account for
C、apply for
D、consist in
答案
B
解析
动词短语辨析题。根据前半句的含义.此处所填短语应和make up“构成,组成”的意思相近,选项中只有[B]account for可以表示“(在数量,比例方面)占……”,符合文意要求.故为答案。[A]make for“向……方向前进;促进”、[C]apply for“申请;适用”和[D]consist in“存在于”,这三项均不符合文意,故排除。
