8.Driving safety is said to be influenced by the songs or music drivers are listening to on the roads.Top ten safest songs to drive to are Come Away With Me by Norah Jones,I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith and Tiny Dancer by Elton John.Each of the songs has an optimum tempo(最佳節(jié)奏)for safe driving,imitating the human heartbeat at around 60to 80beats per minute.The Scientist by Coldplay and Justin Timberlake's Cry Me a River also appeared in the top 10.
The study,conducted at London Metropolitan University,also revealed(表明)the type of songs that cause motorists to drive dangerously.Unsurprisingly,music that is noisy increases a driver^heart rate,which can be deadly.Fast beats cause excitement that can lead people to concentrate more on the music than on the road and to speed up to match the beat of the song.Styles of music were also measured during the.experiment and revealed differences between male and female drivers.Hip-hop made a female driver drive far more aggressively,speeding up faster than male driver.The heavy metal music caused the fastest driving among males in the group while llie dance music had the same effect among women.The male and female drivers who listened to the classical music drove the most irregularly.
The experiment involved eight people driving 500miles each using the confused,com MotorMate app,which monitored driving behavior through GPS technology.

分析 一項最新研究顯示,開車時收聽的歌曲選擇可能會影響駕駛安全程度.
解答 28.B 主旨歸納題.根據(jù)文章第一段的第一句話Driving safety is said to be influenced by the songs or music drivers are listening to on the roads是文章的中心句.一般而言,新聞、調查報告都是在文章的開頭就交待文章的主題.故選B.
29.B推理判斷題 根據(jù)The heavy metal music caused the fastest driving among males in the group while the dance music had the same effect among women.The male and female drivers who listened to the classical music drove the most irregularly.可以推理出,作者推薦的歌曲有關是輕音樂,故答案為B
30.B詞義猜測題 根據(jù)The heavy metal music caused the fastest driving among males in the group while the dance music had the same effectamong women.可知,劃線部分指的是"開車速度很快"故選B
31.D 推理判斷題.文章最后一段涉及到的就是B項;第二段中涉及到了C,因此B、C不會再次被提及.文章第二段中也談到了男女司機對不同音樂的反應,再次談他們對不同音樂的品味的可能性不大.文章第一段涉及到了10首對司機來講適宜選擇的部分音樂,因此文章會在最后一段給出第一段沒列出的10首音樂的剩余部分.故選D.
