Question

A sign is another kind of language. Here are some of them that you see on the roads．

We see this sign when we are getting near a town．Number two is a sign that we’re near a crossing．We must drive carefully．Number three is a sign that there is a bend in the road．Again, we must drive slowly and carefully．It is not safe to go round a bend very fast．Number four is a sign that there is another road coming in from the right．There is a junction at this place. Number five is a sign that there is a hill and number six is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully．Number seven has the word “SCHOOL” on it. This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road. Perhaps there are children going to or leaving school．So drivers must look carefully and go slowly. Number eight is a sign with the letter “P” on it．The letter “P”means “Parking”. At some places, there’re the signs “No parking””or “No waiting”.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，介绍的八种交通标志代表着八种不同情况下的驾驶要求，包括限速、道路变窄、停车等，这些标志都是为了让道路交通更加安全通畅。

1.推理判断题。根据第二段第三句“We see this sign when we are getting near a town．”可知当我们看见这个标志的时候，我们应该靠近一个城镇，会有比较多的房子和建筑物还有人。所以司机要限制速度在30公里每小时以下。故D项正确。

2.细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“Number two is a sign that we’re near a crossing． We must drive carefully．”可知第二个标志说明附近有一个十字路口，两条路会在那里交叉。故A项正确。

3.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Number three is a sign that there is a bend in the road． Again, we must drive slowly and carefully． It is not safe to go round a bend very fast． Number five is a sign that there is a hill and number six is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully． Number seven has the word “SCHOOL” on it. This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road. Perhaps there are children going to or leaving school． So drivers must look carefully and go slowly.”中对3、5、6、7标志的描述可知看见这四个标志的时候，司机一定要小心谨慎慢速驾驶，这些地方人员有危险。故D项正确。

4.细节理解题。根据倒数第三句“Number eight is a sign with the letter “P” on it． The letter “P” means “Parking”.”可知“P”意味着这里可以停车，司机可以停车离开。故A项正确。

5.推理判断题。文章中介绍的八种交通标志代表着八种不同情况下的驾驶要求，包括限速、道路变窄、停车等，这些标志都是为了让道路交通更加安全通畅。故C项正确。
