Driving cars, trucks and motorcycles is
an important part of our lives. We do it every day to get to work, to school or
to friends' houses. Driving can be very {{U}}convenient{{/U}}, but
can also cause many problems. Waiting in line at a red light, a driver may get
impatient and decide just to drive right through it. If another car is coming
from the other direction, there might be a terrible accident. Cutting another
car off can make its driver angry, so that driver cuts off someone else. Pretty
soon everybody is angry, and impatient. {{U}}Traffic accidents
declare millions of lives{{/U}} every year worldwide. In Taiwan alone, over seven
people are killed in accidents every day. The annual death rate from traffic
accidents in Taiwan is twice that of Japan. To allow traffic to
move smoothly and safely, everybody must follow the rules. Before you drive,
learn all the traffic laws. That way of driving is safe, convenient and even
fun!
单选题
The word "convenient" in the passage means ______.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】词义推测题。本题可以通过“代入法”来确定答案。该词在句中是一个形容词，由very修饰，而选项中只有[A]可以代入句中，其余三项都不能代入，因此答案无疑就是[A]而从上下文来看，该词所在句前后是转折关系，由此可推知convenient与cause many problems的意思是相反的，并且短文最后一句中又提到了这个词，将它与safe和fun并列，故它的意思应当与这两个词相近。结合这两个方面与选项，也可确定[A)是答案。convenient方便的，便利的。

The sentence "Traffic accidents declare millions of lives" means ______.
