Question

【題目】 Every year, there are many people going home by long-distance buses during the Spring Festival and the Tomb-sweeping Day . There are more walkers on their way home or to work on the roads. So there are more and more traffic accidents on the roads. Thanks to the efforts of the traffic police, it is said that this year the number of traffic accidents across China was 25.2 percent fewer than the year of 2018 during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day.

Tomb-sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival. It is an important occasion for Chinese to honor their ancestors（祖先）. Most people go home in memory of（紀念）their ancestors on that day. About 9.78 million Chinese visited cemeteries to honor their ancestors or relatives during the holiday. A few people also spent the three-day holiday on leisure trains. So transportation safety is a big problem. On the other hand, it is said that Chinese have made 112 million trips during the holiday, up 10.9 percent from last year’s holiday. For the traffic accidents, some people lost their lives. This year, traffic accidents caused 10 deaths during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day. The fewer traffic accidents are all from the efforts of the police and our government. With the development of society and the government’s efforts, I believe everything will change better.

【解析】

本文講述了在春節(jié)和清明節(jié)等節(jié)日里的交通事故的發(fā)生頻率。在交警和政府的管理下，交通事故的發(fā)生不斷減少。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中There are more walkers on their way home or to work on the roads. So there are more and more traffic accidents on the roads. 在回家或在上班的路上有更多的步行者。所以路上的交通事故越來越多。可知是因為步行者多，所以交通事故越來越多，故選D。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中it is said that this year the number of traffic accidents across China was 25.2 percent fewer than the year of 2018 during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day. 據(jù)介紹，今年清明節(jié)三天，全國交通事故比2018年減少25.2%�？芍�25.2%約等于四分之一，故選B。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文中的句子About 9.78 million Chinese visited cemeteries to honor their ancestors or relatives during the holiday. 節(jié)日期間，約有978萬中國人到……祭奠祖先或親人。由常識可以推斷除，清明節(jié)祭拜祖先一般都要去墓地，所以這里的cemeteries指的是“墓地”，故選B。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Tomb-sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival. 掃墓節(jié)，又稱清明節(jié)�？芍�A選項錯誤；根據(jù)文中Most people go home in memory of（紀念）their ancestors on that day. 大多數(shù)人在那天回家紀念他們的祖先�？芍�是大部分而不是一半，所以B選項錯誤；根據(jù)文中On the other hand, it is said that Chinese have made 112 million trips during the holiday, up 10.9 percent from last year’s holiday. 另一方面，據(jù)說中國人在節(jié)日期間的旅游量為1.12億人次，比去年增長了10.9%�？芍�C選項是正確的；根據(jù)文中This year, traffic accidents caused 10 deaths during the three-day Tomb-sweeping Day. The fewer traffic accidents are all from the efforts of the police and our government. 今年清明節(jié)三天，交通事故造成10人死亡。交通事故越少，都是警方和政府努力的結果�？芍�，清明節(jié)事故發(fā)生減少了，所以D選項錯誤，故選C。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中可知，本文講述的是假期期間交通事故的發(fā)生的頻率的文章，這類文章應該是在報紙上會出現(xiàn)，故選C。
