问题     Everyone knows that the first rule of driving is never taking your eyes off the road. Teen drivers【C1】________being careful, but they tend to start multitasking after just a few months behind the wheel, according to research published Tuesday. And【C2】________older drivers can handle eating or talking to passengers, which【C3】________up the new drivers, dialing a cell phone increased the risk of accidents among young and【C4】________drivers alike.
    This isn’t great news, since it’s well【C5】________that distracted driving is a leading cause of accidents among all drivers.
    It makes sense that young drivers will start testing their limits after a few months behind the wheel, according to Bruce Simons-Morton, a behavioral scientist. "You increase the difficulty of a task until you make an【C6】________," Simons-Morton says. "It seems like a very natural thing but still it’s very【C7】________, because good driving ability and safety judgment develops【C8】________a very long period of time."
    Within six months of getting their licenses, young drivers in this study -started texting, eating and【C9】________the radio while driving as much as their more skilled【C10】________. But it takes thousands of hours of【C11】________to get good at driving, according to Simons-Morton. That disconnect may help【C12】________the high accident rates among teenage drivers.
    The researchers compared data from two small studies—one tracked 42【C13】________licensed young drivers and the other looked at 100 drivers with more experience.
    All the participants had sensors and cameras【C14】________in  their  cars.  The  researchers  used  the  sensors  to track when  drivers  got into  accidents  or  close  calls. The videos  were  then  used to  see  what  the  drivers were doing just before the accidents【C15】________.
    Because  the  researchers  wanted  to  focus  on  the【C16】________of  distracted  driving,  they【C17】________crashes caused  by  drunk  driving  and  ones  that  were  clearly caused by other drivers.
    Since the number of people in this study was small, Simons-Morton says the results will have to be【C18】________by other research. A couple of bigger studies already【C19】________the works, might make things clearer. But Simons-Morton says this is the first totally【C20】________look at teen driver distraction.
【C12】
选项 A、describe
B、explain
C、represent
D、illustrate
答案B
解析 That disconnect(分离)从上文逻辑上来判断应是指青少年司机实践经验少而又急于一心多用，这种disconnect与高事故率存在因果关系，B项explain“说明……的原因”符合语义逻辑。A项describe侧重指描述细节，给读者或听众提供清晰的视觉图像。C项represent指有代表性或象征性地描述或讲述。D项illustrate多指用实例或插图加以说明。
