Question

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
C

"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 Shaanxi 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.

C.crossing

（2）The writer saw people ________ in Shanghai that day.
A.crossing the road in a mess

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）C
（2）A
（3）B
【解析】这是一篇说明文，主要讲述上海乱穿马路的现象，作者以此告诫人们要遵守马路交通规则，看见别人违反时要即时制止，才能避免交通事故的发生。
（1）.推理判断题。由第一段句意可知，人们主要在十字交叉路口乱穿马路，故"intersection”主要指的两条路的交接处，即十字交叉路口。故选C。
（2）.细节理解题。由第三段的最后一句“Just like chickens, they didn't mind the honking horns(喇叭声) and kept crossing the road in a mess.”可知，就像小鸡们一样，他们不在意喇叭声并且继续混乱的穿过马路，故本题选A。
（3）.推理判断题。由全文知，作者对他所看到的现象觉得是错误的，由“So we should obey them, and have good road-crossing habits.”该句可推理判断出，因此作者才会告诫人们要遵守交通规则，不横穿马路。故选C。
