It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well, again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether. You might tolerate the old road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a "Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign, otherwise it may get completely out of hand.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most coolheaded and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway;or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.
A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of roadsmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
The sentence "You might tolerate the old road-hog... the rule." (Para. 1) implies that
选项
A、our society is unjust towards well-mannered motorists
B、rude drivers can be met only occasionally
C、the well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the road-hog
D、nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists
答案
D
解析
本题是一道推断题。问“你可以容忍古怪自私、粗鲁、不体谅别人的司机,但现今有礼貌的司机却很罕见”隐含的意思。由此可知,正确答案为D“现在不礼貌的司机占大多数”。文章并未提到A“我们的社会对礼貌的司机不公平”和C“有礼貌的司机不容忍没有礼貌的司机”。选项B“偶尔才会遇到粗鲁的司机”与原文不符。因此,选项A、B、C都不正确。
