Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated more frequently-and with higher bloodalcohol levels-than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a bloodalcohol level of at least 0.10-which by law in most states signifies intoxication-compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.
Some types of pedestrain accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7000, or one of every seven highway accidents resulting in death.
“We’re dealing here, we think, with a very severe drinking problem that leads to a severe highway safety problem,” said Richard Blomberg, president of Dunlap and Associates Inc, in Norwalk, Coon.
Blomberg, whose consulting company found a very high rate of alcohol involvement in a controlled study of pedestrian accidents in New Orleans, was among several researchers who spoke on the topic at the annual meeting of the Research council’s Transportation Research Board(TRB) in Washington in January.
Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Colpitts, who chairs the board’s committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers have been mystified about how to prevent disasters.
5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Traffic Safety. B.Drunken Drivers.
C.Drunken Pedestrian Accidents. D.A Severe Highway Safety problem.
6.Among the causes of walkers’ accidents, the most serious problem is .
A.long delays in traffic signals that may make people cross streets without paying attention to traffic rules
B.alcohol
C.a lack of adult keeping eyes on many children involved in accidents
D.former drunken drivers whose licenses are not allowed to use for a time
7.According to recent federal data, drunken drivers with an over 0.10 bloodalcohol level in deadly accidents .
A.are 15 percent less than drunken adult walkers with the same level
B.are 2500 a year
C.are at least 7000 in US traffic accidents
D.make up oneseventh of highway accidents
8.According to the passage, what is Blomberg?
A.A researcher. B.A specialist in traffic safety.
C.A clerk of a consulting company. D.A government official
答案
解析
6.B 见文章第二段第一句:Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunken. 说明醉酒是主要原因,故答案为B。
7.A 第二段中第三句提到在致命车祸中成年行人喝醉的占40%，而司机酒醉的只有25%，40%-25%=15%。与A的意思一致。
8.A 此题可从文中第五段找到答案。每年1月，调查委员会在华盛顿召开交通研究会议，Blombery是在会上发言的研究人员之一
。他的咨询公司在新奥尔良地区行人事故的对比研究中发现，酒精肇事在行人交通事故中的比率非常高
所以Blomberg是一位研究人员。核心考点

One would think that about 5% of these women would have emerged as winners. But it was not so, because of our cultural perception of women. We need to change our culture. Women could be active politicians. The Christians in their own way encouraged women to be preachers(传教士) but the Muslim leaders say women should not head for officiating(主持) prayers.
The same happens in certain parts of the country where women are not part of decision taken in male secret societies. This prevents them from achieving some of their goals.

Most women that come from the Northern part of country experience such problems. Some men are saying that a woman cannot be their leader.
Some women are also prejudiced against their women folks. In the last elections, most woman did not support their colleagues. In some parts of the country, because they are not members of secret societies they were not allowed to contest for chieftaincies (酋长或首领的位置). However, Sierra Leones not withstanding the cultural prejudice against women has witnessed women occupying high public offices. They have been appointed to head certain areas.
