主旨大意题 　　建议用时：15分钟 A [2015·甘肃兰州双基考]An Australian company, Smart Car Technologies, has developed a system that lets drivers know when theyre speeding. When the technology becomes commercially available, it could help lead-footed_drivers avoid tickets and also save lives. The company that developed the product hopes to convince Australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets (车队)． The product, called Speed Alert, links real-time location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS to a database of posted speed limits stored in a drivers PDA or programmable mobile phone. The setup of the product does not need to be hooked up to a cars speedometer (速度计). In fact, it is entirely portable. It will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have built-in GPS receivers. If a driver exceeds (超过) the speed limit, the speed is shown and an alert sounds. Michael Paine, an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant, was hired to analyze the product. He told Live Science that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic” about what theyre now calling “an intelligent speed alert”. Other research, according to Paine, shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding. There is also a potentially controversial future use. “Since the system is so portable, it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving，” Paine said. “The system even has the capability to record speeding violations, so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.” 本文是一篇说明文，主要对澳大利亚一家公司所生产的一种新型的预防超速驾驶的车载智能装备进行了简要的介绍。 1．Whats the purpose of the new product? A．To inform us of the new car system. B．To introduce some improvements in cars. C．To popularize the built-in car system. D．To limit certain drivers to safe driving. 答案：D　考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“An Australian company, Smart Car Technologies, has developed a system that lets drivers know when theyr
