问题    While drunken driving may be decreasing, traffic safety experts remain troubled over how to cope with another alcohol-related problem: drunken pedestrian(行人). Studies have shown that pedestrians injured and killed by cars are often extremely drunk.
   Some types of pedestrian accidents have been decreasing in the U. S. , especially those involving children, but the number of drunken adult pedestrians killed in traffic has remained relatively constant at 2500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in traffic accidents is at least 7000 or one of every seven highway deaths.
   Studies have revealed some of the causes, including a lack of adult supervision(监督)for children, long delays in traffic signals that encourage jaywalking(无视交通规则任意行走), less attention paid to pedestrian accidents in the past, and few methods to regulate walking habits. However, the most challenging problem, according to some experts, is alcohol-related, although pulled, researchers are making great efforts to find ways against the drunken pedestrian accidents.
What can be inferred from the passage?
选项 A、Drunken driving is getting more serious.
B、Pedestrian accidents involving children are on the rise.
C、Effective measures have been taken to regulate walking habits.
D、Long delays in traffic signals may encourage walkers to break traffic regulations.
答案D
解析 推理判断题。由文章第三段第一句“…long delays in traffic signals that encourage jaywalking…”可知，D项正确，jaywalking(无视交通规则任意行走)是break traffic regulations(违反交通规则)的一种。
