I hate driving. I hate the traffic, the confusing design of highways in my city and the long periods of sitting with nothing tc do but listen to the radio. Besides, I am a nervous, slow driver, fearful of other cars and distracted drivers.
But I live in a spacious Southwestern city with limited public transportation and intense heat that makes long-distance walking or biking tough for much of the year. So driving is a fact of life for me.
My fears, though, have only been further confirmed by a sad series in The New York Times called "Driven to Distraction" about the dangers of using cellphones and of texting while driving. One article cited a new study, by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, which found that when truck drivers texted, their collision risk was 23 times greater than when not texting.
Another article cited research that drivers using phones are four times as likely to cause a crash as other drivers—and that driving while talking on a cell is akin(类似的)to being legally drunk. Hands-free devices, meanwhile, don’t eliminate these risks, according to studies. In fact, they may worsen them by giving drivers a false sense of security.
Because I’m such a weak driver, I try not to talk or answer my phone on the road unless it’s urgent or traffic is at a standstill(停止). But for many people, especially those with long commutes and important business to take care of, talking or texting while driving is common, and perhaps necessary. I am amazed by how man)interviews I’ve conducted for articles with subjects talking to me while driving: I can sometimes hear the sound of horns and the music of NPR(美国国家公共广播电台)turned down in the background.
In the interviews the author is surprised to realize that______.
选项
A、some interviewees are texting while answering the author’s questions
B、he has to answer the phone when the traffic is stopped
C、some interviewees are talking and listening to music while driving
D、he has to conduct the interviews while answering the phone
答案
C
解析
由题干中的the interviews定位到第五段最后一句。该句提到,许多次“我”进行采访时,采访对象都是一边开车一边通过电话跟“我”对答,对此“我”惊骇不已;有时“我”还能听到电话里传来对方那边的喇叭声和被调低音量的国家公共广播电台播放的音乐声,故C)为正确答案。注意原文中的subjects和C)中的interviewees都是“被采访者”的意思。
