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】

试题分析：这篇短文给我们预测了未来人们会驾驶的一种新汽车，这种汽车比我们现在的汽车要更小，速度更慢，消耗也更少。如果人们都开这种小汽车的话，空气污染就会减少，城市里停车的空间会更多，街道也不会那么拥挤。

1.推理判断题。根据短文的开头If everyone drives such cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air.可知，在将来人们会开一种小型的汽车，这样可以减少空气中的污染。由此我们可以推测，现在空气污染这么严重是因为人们开大汽车的缘故。故选A。

2.推理判断题。根据短文第一段中There will also be more space for parking in cities, and the streets will be less crowded可知，如果未来人们都开那种小汽车的话，在城市里就将会有更多的停车空间，街道也不会那么拥挤。由此我们可以推断，未来的这种小汽车要比我们现在的汽车更小。故选D。

3.推理判断题。根据Little cars will go 450 kilometers before they need to stop for more gasoline可以推断出现在的大汽车花费多，故A是正确的；根据第一段最后一句话可知，未来的小汽车体型小，故C是正确的；根据these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour可知，未来的小汽车速度更慢，故D是正确的；根据第二段中but they will not be useful for a long way可知，小汽车不适合长途旅行，不是大汽车。故B是错误的。

4.推理判断题。根据短文的第一段中我们可以知道，如果未来人们都开小汽车的话，城市里的停车空间会更多，街道也不会那么拥挤。由此我们可以推断，这是因为未来的这种小汽车体型更小。故选D。

5.细节理解题。根据短文的最后一句话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，未来要修建两种道路，一种给现在的大汽车，一种给未来的小汽车。故选C。
