问题     Accidents are 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 more 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 accident-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 make 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.
What can we infer about the author’s opinion on accidents?
选项 A、Safety precautions are of little use in accidents.
B、Many accidents can and should be avoided.
C、Factory accidents, unlike road accidents, are inevitable.
D、Most road accidents are caused by just a few careless drivers.
答案B
解析 本题属于推理判断题，提问的是就作者的观点，我们可以得出什么样的暗示。根据文章的主旨，作者认为许多事故都是由于人为原因造成的，而且往往与人的心理因素有关，因此这样的事故是能够而且应该避免的。故选项B)符合文章意思，是正确答案。
