问题    Drivers on the Basing stoke by-pass used to have their attention diverted by a sign that read A MOMENT’S INATFENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS. This self-defeating warning has now been removed but its message is still very much to the point. Almost anything can cause an accident. Apart from momentary inattention, it might be a minor miscalculation. Although human error plays its part, it is by no means the only cause of accidents. There must be some causes other than simple human error. Road construction also plays its part. It is on those roads where there are subtle visual traps. Wherever there is a "black spot", it means that something is seriously wrong with the road.
   If you have been involved in an accident and have stopped, you must give your name, address , and registration number to anyone who has a good reason for requesting it; this means anyone affected by the accident. If somebody is injured , the driver must produce his insurance certificate on request. If these formalities are complied with it is not necessary to wait for the arrival of the police. It is, however, often wise to do so. The police are expert at drawing plans, taking measurements and photographs and gathering other evidence. In your absence the police could be given a biased story against you; and yourself might want to point out certain features of the accident to the police.
"A MOMENT’S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENT" is a self-defeating warning because ______.

选项 A、it is not true
B、it will distract the driver’s attention
C、it is too difficult to understand
D、it is too long to be read while driving a car

答案B

解析 因为司机经过时,注意力集中在看标语牌,这不仅不能预防,反而容易造成事故,这就是标语牌self—defeating(自己拆自己的台)的原因。虽然如此,标语牌上的内容还是正确的,故A不正确;标语牌用大写表示,但不至于难懂,显然C不符;D也是司机分心的一种原因,已包含在B内。
