Why does the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side!

That’s an old joke in the west, but it came to my mind again when I saw people crossing the road at the intersection of Shanxi Road and Huaihai Road in Shanghai.

When the traffic light was red, a group of people were waiting for the light to change. Suddenly one man began rushing to the other side of the road. Soon others followed him at the crossing and more people did the same. Just like chickens, they didn’t mind the honking horns(喇叭声) and kept crossing the road in a mess.

Every year several thousand people are either killed or hurt on the roads in Shanghai. And at least one third of them were jaywalking(乱穿马路). Jaywalking is very common in Shanghai. It seems that jaywalkers are not afraid of the danger to themselves.

Traffic laws are to keep people safe. So we should obey them, and have good road-crossing habits. When someone starts to jaywalk, we should stop him, and never follow him. That way we can avoid the traffic accidents.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】B

【解析】

【1】C词义猜测题。根据前后文可知，作者再一次想起上海山西路和淮海路过马路的人。由此可知过马路的人是在十字路口。crossing十字路口，是名词。故选C。

【2】A细节理解题。根据“Just like chickens, they didn’t mind the honking horns(喇叭声) and kept crossing the road in a mess.”可知，在那一天作者在上海看到了人们没有秩序的过马路。故选A

【3】B细节理解题。根据“Traffic laws are to keep people safe. So we should obey them, and have good road-crossing habits.”可知，作者提倡遵守交通规则，所以认为上海有些人毫无秩序的过马路是错误的。故选B。
