[2017·全国卷Ⅲ]The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have

turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to

understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress

points are.

Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in

health and well­being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated

(隔绝) and inactive.

Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in­vehicle

technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving

into later life.

These include custom­made navigation (导航) tools, night vision systems and

intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains：“For many older people,

particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving

their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to

rely on others”．

“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and

this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions

and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving

before they really need to.”

Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains：“The

DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key stress points and difficulties are

for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.”

“For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than - 3 - everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep

at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk

of getting fined. We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed

as a way of preventing that.”

“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions (解决方案) to

ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”

4．What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?

A．To explore new means of transport.

B．To design new types of cars.

C．To find out older drivers' problems.

D．To teach people traffic rules.

5．Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?

A．It keeps them independent.

B．It helps them save time.

C．It builds up their strength.

D．It cures their mental illnesses.

6．What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?

A．Improve their driving skills.

B．Develop driver­assist technologies.

C．Provide tips on repairing their cars.

D．Organize regular physical checkups.

7．What is the best title for the text?
