【正确答案】overtaken/surpassed

【答案解析】[听力原文] Car Safety Well, good afternoon. In today's session I will be sharing some of the findings of my project from last term. I had been interested and horrified by several newspaper reports on what people call 'road rage'. For example the famous incident of a man getting out of his car in a car park and hitting the driver of a van who had overtaken him earlier. So I decided to make this the focus of the project. For our research we depended mainly on talking to individuals, asking them questions rather than using written questionnaires. Well, we found 93% of respondents had had some kind of problem. A surprisingly large percentage—24% had their car damaged in some way, but the main type of incident was being shouted at—79% had experienced that. The police tended only to be informed when there was physical violence involved. So what strategies had people developed to ensure their own safety? We found that both sexes made the point that it's much safer to get keys out well in advance as you go towards your car. Men were very aware that muggers or whatever might be concealed behind the car. They also made the point that you should leave plenty of room when you park your car so you can make a quick getaway if you need to. Finally, locking doors at all times. Besides self-protection skills, when road rage does happen at the very moment, something needs to be done. Maryland, like many other states, is working on the problem by stepping up efforts to crack down on aggressive drivers. Hefty fines for dangerous drivers and speeders are on the front line against road rage. California is approaching the problem with technology. A new automated system being installed by the state automatically takes photographs of the license plates of vehicles that run red lights. It even captures accident scenes for police review. A key factor in reversing the process is an apology. A road rager can become upset because you accidentally cut in front of him or her, or for other reasons that were not intentional. Over 85% of road ragers said that they would drop the matter if the other 'careless' driver simply apologized. Instead, road ragers claim, the 'careless' driver seems to be unconcerned about what they just did and, therefore, needs to be taught a lesson. In a ear, only one method is effective in conveying an apology: A sign. We have found that it is very effective in warding off anger. In fact, many drivers actually smile when we raise a 'SORRY' sign to them after we have accidentally done something wrong. We keep a 'SORRY' sign in the map holder on the driver's door and the passenger's door. It could also be kept under the sun visor if it is fastened with a clip or rubber band so that it doesn't hit you in the face when the visor comes down. To sum up, I have described the phenomenon of road rage, explained the findings of the survey, and presented the strategies to ensure safety and self-protection skills. That's it for today. 细节题。根据讲座第一段相关内容“...a man getting out of his car in a car park and hitting the driver of a van who had overtaken him earlier.”可知路怒的一个典型案例就是有人向边上超车的司机施暴，这里要注意的是填入动词的时态，因此答案是overtaken。

【正确答案】24%

【答案解析】细节题。讲座中说道：24% had their car damaged in some way。讲座中列出了一系列的数据表明“road rage”在道路上发生的普遍性。

【正确答案】Strategies

【答案解析】要点题。讲座中明确指出：So what strategies had people developed to ensure their own safety?

【正确答案】approaching/going towards

【答案解析】推断题。讲座第三段提到：...both sexes made the point that it's much safer to get keys out well in advance as you go towards your car. 根据推断，应该是走近车的意思。

【正确答案】parking(your car)

【答案解析】细节题。可根据讲座相关细节“They also made the point that you should leave plenty of room when you park your car SO you can make a quick getaway...”得出此题的关键词是parking。

【正确答案】fines

【答案解析】细节题。根据讲座内容可知有过激行为的人都要被处以种种罚款。

【正确答案】photograph

【答案解析】细节题。空格中需要填入的是动词，所以答案为动词形式。

【正确答案】apologized/said sorry

【答案解析】推断题。根据讲座中的内容“Over 85% of road ragers said that they would drop the matter if the other 'careless' driver simply apologized.”可以做出推断，注意时态。

【正确答案】unconcerned/indifferent

【答案解析】推断题。讲座中说道：Instead, road ragers claim, the 'careless' driver seems to be unconcerned about what they just did...从seems to be unconcerned可以得出答案为unconcerned或其同义词。

【正确答案】road ragers

【答案解析】推断题。讲座的相关内容是：In fact, many drivers actually smile when we raise a 'SORRY' sign to them after we have accidentally done something wrong.也就是说司机在看到“道歉”标识的时候就会怒气顿消，但填空题的主语转换成了The potential______，若填入原话drivers则上下文不符，因此这里需要转换思维角度，潜在的路怒者本身也是司机，所以答案是road ragers。
