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.
The reason why the hands-free devices can’t avoid risks is that______.
选项
A、they make the drivers want to make a call
B、they give the drivers chance to read the text
C、they make the drivers feel worse than before
D、they give the drivers an untrue sense of safety
答案
D
解析
由题干中的hands-free devices定位到第四段倒数第二句。该句提到,与此同时,研究表明免提设备并不能消除这些风险。接下来的一句阐述了原因,事实上免提设备还加剧了风险,因为它们给了司机一种安全的错觉,故答案为D)。
