问题     Drivers on the Basing stoke by-pass used to have their attention diverted by a sign that read A MOMENT’S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS. This self-defeating warning has now been removed but its message is still very much to the point. Almost anything can cause an accident. Apart from momentary inattention, it might be a minor miscalculation. Although human error plays its part, it is by no means the only cause of accidents. There must be some causes other than simple human error. Road construction also plays its part. It is on those roads where there are subtle visual traps. Wherever there is a "black spot", it means that something is seriously wrong with the road.
    If you have been involved in an accident and have stopped, you must give your name, address , and registration number to anyone who has a good reason for requesting it; this means anyone affected by the accident. If somebody is injured, the driver must produce his insurance certificate on request. If these formalities are complied with it is not necessary to wait for the arrival of the police. It is, however, often wise to do so. The police are expert at drawing plans, taking measurements and photographs and gathering other evidence. In your absence the police could be given a biased story against you; and yourself might want to point out certain features of the accident to the police.
"Subtle visual traps" are ______.
选项 A、places where the police hide in order to trap motorists
B、parts of the road which are deceptive to the driver’s eyes
C、danger spots such as sharp corners and cross-roads
D、places where there are too many road-signs
答案B
解析 subtle visual traps直译为“模糊的视觉陷阱”，在短文中指欺骗司机眼睛的路段。A为干扰项；C，D都正确，但都在B的内涵之中。
