题文
It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver’s seat is another matter altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

小题4:A
解析
小题1:本题考查对文中细节进行归纳整合的能力。由第一句“…but manners on the road are becoming horrible.”以及第二段第二句“It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving.”可知C项为最佳答案。
小题2:本题考查根据文中细节判断作者的思想观点的能力。由第二段第一句“Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too.”以及第三段第一句“However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous.”可以判断D项表述正确。
小题3:本题考查根据上下文对词语含义进行猜测的能力。由give-and-take前后的表述可知，司机驾车时要相互理解、相互尊重，都要乐意地为对方考虑，要文明驾车。故D项为最佳答案。
小题4:本题考查归纳文章主旨大意的能力。文章第一段指出，道路行车礼仪变得越来越来糟糕了；第二段首句指出道路行车礼仪不仅是有礼貌的而且是很有意义的；接着下文讲了这种礼貌行为的匮乏和一些不恰当的做法；最后指出文明行车势在必行。故A项为最佳答案。其他三项均是文章的细节，不能概括全文。
