Be Aware: Teenage Driver
A recent study, published in last week’s Journal of American Medical Association, offers a picture of how risky it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers is three times as likely to have a fatal accident as a teenager driving alone, by contrast, the risk of death for drivers between 30 and 59 decreases with each additional passenger.
The author also found that the death rates for teenager drivers increased dramatically after 10 pm, and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.
Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Stately Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with "really stupid behavior" than with just a lack of driving experience. "The basic issue, " he says, "is that adults who are responsible for issuing licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled a task driving is. "
Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate(使……缓解) the problem is to have states institute so-called graduated licensing systems, in which getting a license is a multistage process. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself capable of driving in the presence of an adult, followed by a period of driving with passenger restrictions, before graduating to full driving privileges.
Graduate licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recent studies. About half of the states now have some sort of graduated licensing system in place, but only 10 of those states have restrictions on passengers. California is the strictest, with a novice(新手) driver prohibited from carrying any passenger under 20 ( without the presence of an adult over 25 ) for the first six months.
Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage?
选项
A、Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 pm
B、A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car
C、Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at midnight
D、A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。本题考查对比处。第一段第二句的by contrast表明青少年驾车者比成年驾车者造成的危险性更高。另外,从第二段可知,青少年驾车者在晚上10点后驾车危险性上升,而且当车里有乘客的时候,危险性最高,综合以上两段,就可以判断B为正确选项。
