答案與題解:
1. C 選項A、B、D所述內容都可在短文的第一、第二段中找到。第二段最后一個句子告訴我們,傳感器裝在司機和乘客的座椅里,而不是在點火系統里,所以選擇C.
2. B 短文第三段告訴我們,沃爾沃公司也發明了一種相類似的酒精檢測裝置,安裝在保險帶上。所以B是正確選擇。
3. A 第四段描寫了安裝在概念車儀表板上的照相機的功能。相機跟蹤司機的眼睛的活動從而監測司機是否保持清醒狀態,如果發現司機需要停車休息,便用英語或日語發出警告。所以除A以外,其他選擇都不正確。
4. D 短文第五段說,這種監測技術仍然在發展之中,使用不同的監測系統應能改進這項技術的整體有效性,所以A和C都不是正確選擇。該段的最后一句說,日產公司并不準備將這種監測系統推向市場,但它的目標是使用這種技術到2015年將日產車的事故率年減少到 1995年的一半。所以B也不是正確選擇,只有D表達了Doi的意思。
5. B 選項A、C、D在短文第六段都能找到,但是卻找不到選項B所表達的意思。
