　　写作方法与文章大意

　　作者采取先对比、后分析的写作手法。

先是今人和古罗马人对暴虐体育上对此两者都欣赏。

后者坦率成人“欣赏暴力体育”，前者施以各种接口、实际都是嗜血成性者。

第二段进一步剖析今人欣赏暴虐体育的种种实例，最后指出改善“暴虐”的根本嗜为改善法律采取积极的步骤，法律才能施以巨大的文明影响，否则人类很难改变。

　　写作方法与文章大意

　　文章论述“交通事故”，采用因果、对比手法。

从人的平均寿命增加和交通事故率成正比谈起，触及事故率上升的原因，要求制定更严格的法规予以制止种种造成事故的不良行为。

　　答案详解

　　1.D只有更严格的交通法规才能制止交通事故。

这在最后一段的结论中体现的最清楚。

前面几段只是讲造成事故的种种原因。

其目的就是：

“是制定世界交通法规以减少无谓的生命浪费的时候了。

对于开车，有些国家的法规太松弛，甚至最严格的国家也不够严格。

世界公认之法律只可能对交通事故率起大大降低的作用（有非常好的效果。

）”这里列出几件要干的事：

“驾驶测试应当标准化，比现在的要严格;所有死机每三年考核一次;年轻人驾车的允许年龄应提高到21岁;全部机动车每年都应经过严格的安全测试（测定其安全性）……这些步骤可能听起来异常严厉，可是，如果其结果事减少每年死伤人数的话，就不存在什么太严格的事了。

”

　　A.主要是机动车死机造成的交通事故。

B.全世界每年有几千人丧生。

C.有些国家的交通法规太松弛。

这三道答案都是文中谈到某一点，不能作为中心目的。

　　2.D社会宽容这种野蛮开车行径。

答案就在第三段：

“令人惊讶的是社会对司机宽厚地笑笑，似乎宽容他们的行为。

一切都为他们的方便而干。

人们允许城市由于交通拥挤而几乎不能居住了，大型停车场把城镇”弄得“丑陋不堪，公路网玷污了乡村，每年大量的杀伤仅仅成为统计数字，被很容易地忘记。

”

　　A.社会对司机笑容可掬。

B.大型停车场建在市和镇上。

C.交通
