edchevrons(人字形)，paintedontheroadsmakedriversthinkthattheyaredrivingfasterthantheyreallyare，andthusdriversslowdown．也就是说，人字形线使驾驶员产生错觉：车速太快，于是他们觉得应该减速。而本题C项说“(他们往往感觉)应该减速”。因此，C项是答案。23、Theadvantageofchevronsoverstraighthorizontalbarsisthattheformer______.A、cankeepdriversawakeB、cancutroadaccidentscompletelyC、willhavealongereffectondriversD、willlookmoreattractive标准答案：C知识点解析：本题考查对文章重要情节或细节理解的准确性。本文中人字形线区别于垂直横线正是重要细节，人字形线的优越之处在于它能在较长的时间内对驾驶人员起作用。可见，本题的答案是C项。24、TheAmericanAutomobileAssociationFoundationforTrafficSafetyplansto______.A、tryouttheJapanesemethodincertainareasB、signthechevronsacrossthecountryC、replacestraighthorizontalbarswithchevronsD、repeattheJapaneseroadpatterns标准答案：A知识点解析：本题涉及文章的第3段。A项“(基金会)打算在某些地区试验日本(减少交通事故)的办法”，这是本题的答案。25、Whatdoestheauthorsayaboutstraight,horizontalbarspaintedacrossroads?A、TheyarefallingoutofuseintheUnitedStatesB、Theytendtobeignoredbydriversinashortperiodoftime.C、Theyareapplicableonlyonbroadroads.D、Theycannotbeappliedsuccessfullytotrafficcircles.标准答案：B知识点解析：本题考查对倒数第2段的准确理解。文章说：“最初能让驾驶员减速一半”，“但数月后驾驶员便恢复到原来的速度”。也就是说，垂直横线只能在短时期内影响到驾驶员的行驶速度，过一段时间就不起作用了，因此B项是本题的答案。Theatmosphereisalltheairsurroundingtheearth.Withoutit,wewouldbeforcedtoseekshelterfromthesun,astherewouldbenoatmospheretoprotectusfromthesun'sdeadlyrays.Largeandpowerful,theatmosphereconsistsofanoceanofgaseshundredsofmileshigh.Itpressesdownonourbodieswithaforceofmorethanfourteenpoundspersquareinch.Thenarrowcolumnofairwhichrestsuponourshouldersweighsalmost2000pounds.Butourbodiesarebuiltinsuchawaythatthisweightdoesnotcrush(压碎)us.Inthishugeoceanofairthereismoreenergythaninallthecoal,oil,andgaswehaveonearth.Electricalenergyiscollectedintheatmosphereaswateriscollectedandstoredinadam.Theexistenceofelectricityintheairhasbeenknownforcenturies.Butathoroughstudyofelectricityintheatmospherewasnotpossibleuntilthedevelopmentofradioandradar.Onescientist,Dr.SydneyChapman,hastriedtoexplaintheelectricfieldwhichsurroundstheearth.Hebelievesthatgreatstormsonthesuncreatelargeamountsofelectricenergy.Thisenergyiscontainedinaverylightgascalledhydrogen.Theearthpullsthegastowardit,andaringisformedaroundtheearthseveralthousandfeetaboveitssurface.Thegreatspaceringisapowerfulcurrentofelectricalenergy.Sometimestheringcomesdownandcurvesintotheloweratmosphere,causingstrangeelectricaleffects.Hisideaexplainsmanythings.Ithaslongbeenknownthatthereisanelectricfieldinsidetheearth.Itmovesinmuchthesamemannerastheelectricenergycontainedintheatmosphere.Scientistsnowbelievethattheelectricenergyintheatmospherecausestheelectricenergyinsidetheearthtoflow.Ifwecanlearntocontroltheenergyintheatmosphere,wewillhaveanunendingsupplyofenergy.Manyscientistsaretryingtolearnhowtocontrolit,Inthemeantime,eventhoseofuswhoarenotscientistshavebeguntopayattentiontoair.Werealizethatairdoesnotcontainthesameelementsthatitcontainedyearsage.Automobiles,airplanes,factories,andatomicexplosionshaveaddeddustandwastegasestotheatmosphere.Itistimetolearnhowtoprotectouratmosphere,theroofovertheworldofman.26、Weknowtheatmosphereas______.A、thetotalamountofoxygenovertheearthB、mixtureofgasessurroundingtheearthC、asourc
