f,thetimingofthesignalschanges.(就像交通本身一样，信号灯的时间也会变化)”可知，第一段主要讲述的是信号灯的时间会灵活变化；“Thatisbydesign.”意为“那是有意为之”，由此可推知，That指代第一段中“信号灯的灵活时间”。故选C项。2.【答案】D【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段第一句中“adaptivesignalsarenotacureallforjammedroadways(但自适应信号并不是解决拥堵道路的万能药)”及第二句中“othersaresojammedthatonlyasharpreductioninthenumberofcarsontheroadwillmakeameaningfuldifference(其他城市交通堵塞如此严重，只有减少道路上的车辆才能起有意义的作用)”可推知，KevinBalke认为适应性信号灯对于交通堵塞很严重的城市没有太大帮助。故选D项。3.【答案】A【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Theselights,knownasadaptivesignals,haveledtosignificantdeclinesinboththetroubleandcostoftravelsbetweenworkandhome.(这些灯，被称为适应性信号灯，已经大大减少了通勤的麻烦和花费)”最后一段第一句“InBellevue,theswitchtoadaptivesignalshasbeenalessoninthevalueofwelingnewapproaches.(在Bellevue，对适应性信号灯的转变是一个在欢迎新方法的价值方面的榜样)”可推知，从Bellevue的成功中可以得出，尝试新事物是值得的。故选A项。十这是一篇记叙文。文章主要记叙了VinnieReam向林肯总统提出给他做一个全身雕像的请求，一
