Accidents was caused; they don’t just happen. The reason may be easy to see: a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road, an overloaded truck. But merely often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune—frustration, tiredness or just bad temper—that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.
Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accidents-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.
By definition, an accident is something you can not predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.
It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions makes people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are injured from work due to accidents. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment—noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.
The word "accidents-prone" (Line 2, Para. 2) means .
选项
A、likely to have accidents
B、injured in accidents
C、possible to die in accidents
D、responsible for road accidents
答案
A
解析
根据文章第二段前半句Road accidents,for example,happen frequently after a family quarrel可知,在家庭争吵之后就很容易发生事故。根据后半句so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others可知,人如此经常地和自己、和这个世界过不去,以至于给自己和别人造成了事故。那么推测“给自己和别人造成事故的人一定是事故易发人群”所以答案选A
