【正确答案】25、C26、D27、A

【试题解析】25、【解析】

【分析】这是一篇说明文。美国华盛顿州的Bellevue采用了能随交通状况而调节交通灯时间的适应性信号灯，

大大缓解了交通压力，也表明人们对于交通阻塞问题不再只是拓宽道路，而是能够采用新方法。

【25题详解】

指代猜测题。That位于第二段句首，应是指代第一段的内容。根据第一段内容尤其是第一段最后一句"Justlike

thetrafficitself,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。

26、［26题详解】

推理判断题。根据第四段第一句中“adaptivesignalsarenotacure-allforjammedroadways（但自适应信号并不是

解决拥堵道路的万能药）”及第二句中“othersaresojammedthatonlyasharpreductioninthenumberofcarsonthe

roadwillmakeameaningfuldifference（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。

27、［27题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段最后-♦句"Theselights,knownasadaptivesignals,haveledtosignificantdeclinesinboth

thetroubleandcostoftravelsbetweenworkandhome.（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,theswitchtoadaptivesignalshasbeenalessoninthevalueofwelcoming

«<8

newapproaches.（在Bellevue,对适应性信号灯的转变是•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。
