【分析】
这是一篇关于雨天行车的说明文阅读理解，解题思路为：1. 通读全文，把握各要点核心信息；2. 针对每道题，定位原文对应段落，结合语境分析选项；3. 词义猜测题结合上下文逻辑，代词指代题优先找前文出现的对应名词；4. 细节理解题直接匹配原文信息，选出正确答案。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：原文①提到“give yourself more time for heavy traffic”，“traffic”意为交通，“heavy traffic”指交通繁忙，对应选项B（busy），A（long）长的、C（hot）热的均不符合，故选B。
2. 词义猜测题：原文②说明“Keep a safe following distance between you and the car in front of you”，即保持与前车的安全距离，因此“following distance”意为跟车距离，选A。
3. 细节理解题：原文⑤指出“You cannot drive in the rain without them（windscreen wipers）”，说明雨刷不工作时雨天开车不安全，对应选项B；A（交通不繁忙）、C（开前灯）均为安全情况，故选B。
4. 代词指代题：原文⑥提到“On rainy days, the roads are full of water. If you cannot see the ground through it...”，“it”指代前文的“water”，故选C。
5. 细节理解题：原文③明确“Drive slowly in the rain”，对应速度要求，正确选项为C（结合插图2的慢速驾驶图示）。
