题目内容
【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Some experts feel that cars are certain to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all cars will be deserted and made useless. 【1】 They hold that the car will remain a leading means of city travel in the foreseeable future.
The car will undoubtedly change greatly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. 【2】
Unless changes take place in the power system, the car in the future will still be the main problem in city traffic jams. 【3】
When the car enters the highway system, a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail, which is similar to hose(软管) powering subway trains electrically. Once joined to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system and control of the car will pass to a central computer. 【4】
The driver will use the telephone to dial instructions about his position and the place he heads for into the system. The computer will find the best way and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. ____【5】 It is believed that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10,000 cars per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 cars that can be carried by a present-day highway.
A. The driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warm him of his coming exit.
B. Other experts however think the car is here to stay.
C. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.
D. There will be plenty of policemen on the highway to control the traffic.

G. All of the experts don’t know what will happen in the future.
【答案】
【1】B
【2】C
【3】E
【4】F
【5】A
【解析】
试题分析:本文属于科普知识类,为大家预测了将来的汽车是什么样子,以及怎样操控它。36.【1】B首先根据文章开头的“Some experts...”可知与B项的“Other experts”构成some...others的结构;其次,根据后文说到“...remain a leading means of urban travel”可知,本句和前面说的“汽车消失”形成对比。;另外B项中的however起着转折的作用,说明专家们也有两种观点,故选B。
【2】C根据上句:It should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. 它应该变得更小,更安全,更实用并且不应该由燃气发动机驱动。可知下句的意思应该是:未来的汽车应该比现在的汽车更无污染。可知C项符合题意。
【3】E根据空前的“the main problem”及后文的“the automated (自动的) system”可知E项起到了承上启下的作用。
【4】F根据空前的“control of the car will pass to a central computer”可知选F项。
【5】A本段都是讲述电脑控制汽车是如何运行的,故选A项
【名师点拨】
1.根据上下文的语境来确定选项。一般在空格的上一句或下一句,也许是上、下句中会有暗示。38小题E根据空前的“the main problem”及后文的“the automated (自动的) system”可知E项起到了承上启下的作用。
2.根据常识解题。37小题C根据上句:It should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. 它应该变得更小,更安全,更实用并且不应该由燃气发动机驱动。可知下句的意思应该是:未来的汽车应该比现在的汽车更无污染。可知C项符合题意。根据常识可知“燃气发动机驱动”当然就会更无污染。
