I never let them take rides from people they didn39。t know.”和第五段中的“Isn39。t there enough crime (犯罪) today without asking for trouble by hitchhiking? On the other hand, hitchhiking may bring some traffic trouble.”可知作者一直教育他的孩子不要和陌生人講話更不能坐陌生人的車，他認為即使沒有搭便車所造成的麻煩，當今的犯罪已經(jīng)夠多了，而且搭便車還會給交通帶來麻煩。故推測作者是一個很細心而且見過很多事的人。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的 “Don39。t they understand how dangerous it is to get into the car driven by a stranger? How much do they know about the driver? Is he a good driver or not? They know nothing!” 可知作者認為很多人不知道搭便車很危險，故推測他寫信的目的是讓報紙?zhí)嵝讶藗兇畋丬囄ｋU。故選A。 （5）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Can39。t your newspaper do something about the custom (習慣) of hitchhiking?”作者反問報紙“難道你們的報紙不能為搭便車的習慣做些事嗎？”可推測，如果是一個好的編輯，在看到信后會寫一篇關(guān)于搭便車會有安全隱患的文章刊登到報紙上。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。 5．閱讀理解 Chewing gum(口香糖) has its origins in ancient times from Mayans to Greeks who would chew the resin(樹脂)of certain trees for medical purposes and maybe even for freshening breath. The history of chewing gum continued as Native Americans introduced it to European settlers. Chewing gum hit the market after Santa Anna brought a case of chicle(糖膠樹脂) from Mexico to New York. Santa Anna gave some to the parttime inventor Thomas Adams Thomas Adams changed the gum and marketed it as a candy. The invention took off and was known as Chiclets. In 1900 Frank Fleer coate chewing gum with sugar, and in 1906 Blibber Blubber was invented, but never made it to market. Blibber Blubber was too sticky and it was also too difficult to remove the burst bubble(破了的泡泡) from one39。s skin without using some special tools. A history of bubblegum just wouldn39。t be plete without mentioning the gumball machine, which popularized gum. The first gumball machine came onto the scene in 1907 and sold sugarcoated chewing gum. However, it wasn39。t until 1928 that bubblegum was created. Walter Diemer, working for Frank Fleer39。s gum pany, discovered bubblegum by accident while experimenting in the lab during his breaks. The gum was named Dubble Bubble. Pink was the only color which could be used at the time, and Dubble Bubble has remained pink ever since. According to the International Chewing Gum Association,during WWII Dubble Bubble was handed out by US military members as gifts, thereby spreading its popularity among the peoples of Europe, Africa, and Asia. And in the 1930s he first bubblegum cards appeared. the pictures changed from war heroes to Wild West figures to professional athletes. Bubblegum has been popular ever since, especially among children, thanks to its inventive shapes, and sugary flavors, from original bubblegum to a yardstick of fruity bubblegum.（1）How did Thomas Adams deal with the chicle that Santa Anna gave to him?
