People enjoy talking about "firsts." They like to remember their first love or their first car. But not all firsts are happy ones. Few people enjoy recalling the firsts that are bad.
One of history’s bad but important firsts was the first car accident. Autos were still young when it happened. The crash took place in New York City. The year was 1896. The month was May. A man from Massachusetts was visiting the city in his new car. At the time, bicycle riders were still trying to get used to the new set of wheels on the road. No one is sure who was at fault. In any case, the bike and the car collided. The man on the bike was injured. The driver of the car had to stay in jail and wait for the hospital report on the bicycle rider. Luckily, the rider was not killed.
Three years later, another automobile first took place. The scene was again New York City, a real estate broker named Henry Bliss stepped off a streetcar. He was hit by a passing car. Once again, no one is sure just how it happened or whose fault it was. The driver of the car was put in jail. Poor Mr. Bliss became the first person to die in a car accident.
We can conclude that accidents involving cars ______.
选项
A、happened most often in New York City
B、do not happen as often as they did in the early days of the auto
C、have killed many more people since Mr Bliss was killed
D、were always the driver’s fault
答案
C
解析
选项A和B文中都未提及。选项C是可以推断的。从第一个被车撞死的人到现在,是有很多人死于车祸。根据文章,不清楚是谁的错。选项D排除。选项C是正确的。
