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：这篇短文说的是在许多年后，也许会有一种小汽车来取代今天的大汽车，这样空气污染的问题会减少，城市里的停车位会更多，街道也不会太拥挤。这种小汽车速度更慢，所以也更安全。但是可能要有两条道路来供他们行驶。

1. 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.可知，很多年后，有一种小汽车ken可能会取代今天的大汽车，这样，在将来，空气污染的问题就会减少。由此我们可以推测，空气污染严重，跟人们开大汽车有关。故选A。

2. will also be more space for parking in cities, and the streets will be less crowded.可知，多年后，小汽车取代了大汽车，在城市里就会有更多停车的地方，街道也不会那么拥挤。故由此推测，今天的汽车比未来的汽车要更大。故选D。

3. little cars of the future will cost less可知，未来的小汽车花费更少，即大汽车花费更多，故A的表述是正确的；根据The cars of the future will be fine for going around a city, but they will not be useful for a long way.可知B是不对的；根据There will also be more space for parking in cities, and the streets will be less crowded.可知，未来的小汽车体型更小，故C的表述是正确的。故选B。

4. will also be more space for parking in cities, and the streets will be less crowded可知，未来的小汽车体型更小，所以街上的停车位会更多，街道不会那么拥挤。故选D。

5. roads will be needed for the big, faster cars and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones.，故未来的这种小汽车速度更慢，而现在的大汽车速度更快，所以需要两条道路，故选C。
