Question

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
In many parts of the world, cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them.  1  But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by car manufacturers.
The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program.  2  That will mean much saving, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car in the future will drive itself.  3  Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.
According to Dr. David Davis, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.
Davis says, cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices(裝置) to regulate(調(diào)節(jié)) the distance between one car and another.  4  computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.
By 2010, Dr. David Davis believes, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen.  5  Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount.” says Davis. “but all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount,  and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.”

A．The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized.

B．They believe that cars will become more important in 20 years.

C．And it will not be owned by one individual.

D．And by 2030, cars will travel in line, linked to each other electronically.

E. So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe.
F. Every driver will use less fuel in the car he owns.
G. The car will automatically speed up, or slow down, to match the speed of the car in front.

Answer 1

【小題1】E
【小題2】A
【小題3】C
【小題4】G
【小題5】D

解析【小題1】根據(jù)上文many societies would not exist without them；說明汽車越來越普及，E項(xiàng)符合要求，20年以后，沒有汽車是難以置信。
【小題2】根據(jù)下文的The super-intelligent car in the future will drive itself.這種超級(jí)智能的汽車將會(huì)自己行駛。那么應(yīng)該是那種受電腦控制的智能化的汽車。
【小題3】根據(jù)后半句change them as frequently as we change our clothing.像換衣服一樣的換車，說明這樣的汽車屬于個(gè)人，是大家共有的，可以大家一起使用。
【小題4】根據(jù)上文所敘述汽車?yán)镉兄悄苎b置可以調(diào)節(jié)車與車之間的距離等，G也是屬于這一方面。
【小題5】根據(jù)下文的Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”可知汽車像拖把一樣地自動(dòng)連接在一起。可知D項(xiàng)與之相符。
