问题     It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. You might tolerate the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a "Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign, otherwise, it may get completely out of hand.
    Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behaviors. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it
    However, improper politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child across a crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to.
    A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learn to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages (堵塞) that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can’t even learn to drive, let alone be well-mannered on the road. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart [br] In the writer’s opinion, _______.
选项 A、drivers should apply road politeness properly
B、strict traffic regulations are badly needed
C、rude and inconsiderate drivers should be punished
D、drivers should try their best to avoid traffic jams
答案 A
解析 纵观全文，第一段讲，现在的道路礼节问题非常严重。第二段主要讲了道路礼节不仅表现在行为举止，而且要有良好的意识。现在交通状况正是需要这种善意和宽容的气氛。第三段，讲述了道路中的不恰当的礼貌。第四段，在道路上大家都能相互谦让，那么对于现在和未来的交通 状况都是有益处的。可见作者在整篇文章中都围绕道路礼节来写的，从选项来看只有A项最为符合。
