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.
According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements is true?
选项
A、Teenagers should spend more time learning to drive
B、Driving is a skill too complicated for teenagers to learn
C、Restriction should be imposed on teenagers applying to take driving lessons
D、The licensing authorities are partly responsible for teenagers’ driving accidents
答案
D
解析
推理判断题。第三段结尾句暗示负责发放驾驶执照的成年人轻率地将驾驶执照发给经验不足的青少年,这是青少年车祸的部分原因。本文讨论的重点是青少年学会开车后的驾驶执照发放制度,并未讨论青少年学习驾驶的问题,因此其他选项都不是该段的推论。
