Motorways are, no doubt, the safest roads in Britain. Mile for mile, vehicle for vehicle, you are much less likely to be killed or seriously injured than on an ordinary road. On the other hand, if you do have a serious accident on a motorway, fatalities (死亡) are much more likely to occur than in a comparable accident elsewhere on the roads.
Motorways have no sharp bends, no roundabouts (环状交叉路) or traffic lights and thus speeds are much greater than on other roads. Though the 70 m.p.h. limit is still in force, it is often treated with the contempt that most drivers have for the 30 m.p.h. limit applying in built-up areas in Britain. Added to this is the fact that motorway drivers seem to like traveling in groups with perhaps barely ten metres between each vehicle. The resulting horrific pile-ups when one vehicle stops for some reason — mechanical failure, driver error and so on - have become all too familiar through pictures in newspapers or on television. How many of these drivers realize that it takes a car about one hundred metres to brake to a stop from 70 m.p.h.? Drivers also seem to think that motorway driving gives them complete protection from the changing weather. However wet the road, whatever the visibility in mist or fog, on they plough at ridiculous speeds, oblivious (忘却的) of police warnings or speed restrictions until their journey comes to a conclusion.
Perhaps one remedy for this motorway madness would be better driver education. At present, learner drivers are barred from motorways and are thus, as far as this kind of driving is concerned, thrown in at the deep end. However, much more efficient policing is required, for it is the duty of the police not only to enforce the law but also to protect the general public from its own foolishness.

64. According to the passage, traffic jam on motorway probably results from .
Ａ) traffic police’s irresponsibility
B) drivers’ poor education background
C) cars’ mechanical problems
D) ignorance of traffic regulations
65. It can be inferred from the passage that______.
Ａ) drivers on motorway drive within the speed limit
B) drivers on motorway are protected by the police
C) most drivers on motorway are often stopped by the police
D) most drivers on motorway drive at mad speeds
66. Which of the following is one probable solution to motorway madness suggested by the author?

B) The traffic police system should be improved.
C) Drivers should go back to school to finish their education.

62.C。主旨大意题。文章通篇都在讲有关高速路上驾驶的事，说出了高速路上驾驶可能出现的问题及其原因和相应对策，C概括得较全面。Ａ项只是在第二段提到，B、D只是在第三段提及，这三项都不能概括全篇。
63.C。根据文章第一段第二句话，高速路在英国是最安全的道路，在高速路上行驶发生车祸的可能性小，所以选C。Ａ项并未在文中提及；第二段第一句话中提到高速公路没有（no） traffic lights，因此根本就看不到红绿灯，所以排除B；D明显错误。
64.C。根据第二段第三、四句，高速路上司机喜欢把车距缩得很短，结果如果一辆车由于机械故障或司机的失误等等导致事故、产生阻塞，C机械故障是其中的一种情况，所以正确。文章最后一句话中提到警察应该提高效率以及对公众安全负责，但并不能说明高速公路上交通阻塞是由于警察的不负责引起的，因此排除Ａ；B项明显不对；D在文中没有提及。
65.D。根据第二段第二句，许多司机对每小时70英里的速度限制都像是对住宅区限速30英里每小时一样。最后一句提到他们以一种不可思议的速度奋力前行。因此可以推断出：许多司机在高速路上都超速，Ａ错误，选D。根据文章最后一句话做出的推断，人们希望警察以后能够保护公众，防止他们开快车，但现在暂时还没有做到，因此B错误；C未在文中提及。
66.B。根据第三段最后一句，要解决这一问题，需要更有效率的警察监督，这与B项的“改进交警体系”一致，故答案为B。Ａ文中未提及；C是对末段首句中better driver education的曲解，这是指对司机进行更好的驾车教育，而非让其继续回校接受文化教育。最后一段明确指出，不让正在接受教育的司机在高速路上开车，因此D错误。
