问题 Road Politeness
It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick peace 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 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.

Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-ownership explosion,（）
选项 A.drivers should be ready to yield to one another.
B.road users should make more sacrifices.
C.drivers should have more communication among themselves.
D.drivers will suffer a great loss if they pay no respect to other
答案A
解析细节题。利用题干关键词car-ownership explosion可以定位到文章最后一段“Years ago th experts warned US that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give．and-take fro all road USers”，意为“专家警告我们，拥有汽车的人越来越多，这就要求所有的司机更应该相互谦让”。这和A项“司机之间要互相让步”意思是一致的，故答案为A。
