Race Car Drivers
The men who race the cars are generally small,with a tight,nervous look.They range from the early 20s to the middle 40s,and it is usually their nerves that go first.
Fear is the driver's constant companion,and tragedy can be just a step behind.Scarcely a man in the 500 does not carry the scars of ancient crashes.The mark of the plastic surgery is everywhere, and burned skin is common. Sometimes a driver's scars are invisible.Two young drivers,Billy Vukovich and Gary Bettenhausen,raced in their first 500 in 1968.Less than 20 years before,their fathers also competed against one another on the Indy track一and died there.
All this the drivers accept. Over the years,they have learned to trust their own techniques,reflexes,and courage.They depend,too,on a trusted servant一scientific engineering. Though they may not have had a great deal of schooling(an exception is New Zealand's Bruce McLaren,who has an engineering degree),many drivers are gifted mechanics,with a feeling for their engines that amount to kinship.
A few top drivers have become extremely wealthy,with six-figure incomes from prize money and jobs with auto-product manufacturers.Some have businesses of their own.McLaren designs racing chassis(底盘).Dan Gurney's California factory manufactured the chassis of three of the first four ears in the 1968 Indy 500,including his own second place car.
Yet money is not the only reason why men race cars.Perhaps it isn't even the major reason. Three-time Indy winner(1961,1964,1967)A.J. Foyt,for example,can frequently be found cornpeting on dirty tracks in minor-league races,where money,crowds and safety features are limited, and only the danger is not. Why does he do it?Sometimes Foyt answers,"It's in my blood."Other times he says,"It's good practice."Now and then he replies,"Don't ask dumb questions."
选项
The statement"it is usually their nerves that go first"means_______.
A:at first they all have a nervous look
B:they often find they can't bear the tension even if they are in good condition
C:someday they find they can't make responses to any risk
D:they can continue their career at most until the middle 40s
答案
B
解析
文章第一段最后一句话的意思是这些赛车手一直会处于紧张状态,以至于他们经常会神经紧张。因此选项B是正确的。
文章第二段暗示我们车祸往往会伴随汽车起火,并且之后车手要做整形手术。题干问车祸同时伴随什么,因此只有选项D是正确的。
本文第二段提到两名年轻的赛车手第一次参加印地500比赛,恰巧他们的父辈20年前也参加了比赛,并且在比赛中身亡,这给他们留下了隐形的伤疤。从上下文看,选项A是正确的。
文章第三段提到大多数赛车手受教育程度不高,唯一的例外是取得工程学学位的Bruce McLaren。因而选项B是正确的。
文章最后一段以A.J.Foyt为例说明他并不主要是以钱为目的,虽然赛道、观众或安全防护条件不好,他还是会参加乙级比赛。只有选项D的表述正确。
