Question

A kind of little cars may take the place of today’s big ones many years later. If everyone drives such cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will also be more space for parking in cities, and the streets will be less crowded.

The little cars of the future will cost less. Driving will be safer, too, since these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour. The cars of the future will be fine for going around a city, but they will not be useful for a long way. Little cars will go 450 kilometers before they need to stop for more gasoline (汽油). If big cars are still used with the small ones, two kinds of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be needed for the big, faster cars and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文給我們預測了未來人們會駕駛的一種新汽車，這種汽車比我們現在的汽車要更小，速度更慢，消耗也更少。如果人們都開這種小汽車的話，空氣污染就會減少，城市里停車的空間會更多，街道也不會那么擁擠。

1.推理判斷題。根據短文的開頭If everyone drives such cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air.可知，在將來人們會開一種小型的汽車，這樣可以減少空氣中的污染。由此我們可以推測，現在空氣污染這么嚴重是因為人們開大汽車的緣故。故選A。

2.推理判斷題。根據短文第一段中There will also be more space for parking in cities, and the streets will be less crowded可知，如果未來人們都開那種小汽車的話，在城市里就將會有更多的停車空間，街道也不會那么擁擠。由此我們可以推斷，未來的這種小汽車要比我們現在的汽車更小。故選D。

3.推理判斷題。根據Little cars will go 450 kilometers before they need to stop for more gasoline可以推斷出現在的大汽車花費多，故A是正確的；根據第一段最后一句話可知，未來的小汽車體型小，故C是正確的；根據these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour可知，未來的小汽車速度更慢，故D是正確的；根據第二段中but they will not be useful for a long way可知，小汽車不適合長途旅行，不是大汽車。故B是錯誤的。

4.推理判斷題。根據短文的第一段中我們可以知道，如果未來人們都開小汽車的話，城市里的停車空間會更多，街道也不會那么擁擠。由此我們可以推斷，這是因為未來的這種小汽車體型更小。故選D。

5.細節理解題。根據短文的最后一句話two kinds of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be needed for the big, faster cars and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones可知，未來要修建兩種道路，一種給現在的大汽車，一種給未來的小汽車。故選C。
