2、s. However, despite the fact that the benefits outweigh the risks by 201, many consider the risks too great and that the fear of danger on the road needs to be handled. Cycle lanes(车道) have been used to improve cyclists safety and encourage more cyclists onto the road. This research in transport aim
3、s to study the effect of cycle lanes on cyclists safety where passing space given by overtaking(超车) vehicles is concerned.In this study, the authors used a bicycle equipped with cameras to record vehicle overtaking in varying road situations to determine whether cycle lanes, color block cycle lanes
4、or no cycle lanes affect passing distances and cyclists safety. Their 3 comparisons measuring vehicle passing widths found greater overall distances given with a cycle lane than without. Color block vs. uncolored cycle lanes showed little or no difference, as did no cycle lanes vs. color block cycle
5、 lanes. Color block lanes had a slight negative effect suggesting that drivers are more careful when cycle lanes have less definition(清晰度) Interestingly, the authors conclude that other factors have a far greater effect on cyclists safety than presence or absence of cycle lanes. Road width, parking,
6、 opposite vehicle flow and speed were key influences on decreased passing widths. The authors also note that driver behaviour is a hugely important factor and urge more research in this area.“In order to reduce risks and encourage more cycling, reducing and calming the existing motorised traffic mus
7、t be explored first.” They suggest, “Lane width is the most significant variable(变量) to achieve a sufficient vehicle passing distance. The narrow cycle lanes (2m) may be not enough.

10、:推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Color block lanes had a slight negative effect suggesting that drivers are more careful when cycle lanes have less definition(清晰度) ”可知,彩色车道有轻微的负面效应,当自行车车道清晰度较低时驾驶员要更小心。据此可以判断,彩色车道会使驾驶员变得粗心,故 A 项正确。3In the researchers eyes, the first step to encourage more cycling is to Aredesign and
11、 rebuild the roads in a cityBdo more research in public bicycle programsCrestrict the number of vehicles running on the roadDmake strict traffic rules to control driver behaviourC 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In order to reduce risks and encourage more cycling, reducing and calming the existing motorised traffi
12、c must be explored first.”可知,为了降低风险,鼓励更多地使用自行车,首先要减少现有的机动车辆,即控制路上的机动车的数量,故 C 项正确。4The authors of the research think that drivers behaviour Aneeds further explorationBis an unimportant factorCmakes cycle lanes narrowerDis the most significant variableA 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Reconsideration of the entire r
13、oad design and further exploration of driver behavioural factors are required”可知,需要对驾驶员的行为因素做进一步探索,故 A 项正确。七选五(2019成都第二次诊断性检测 )Confidence is a skill that many folks want to master, but they have a hard time acquiring it.
