  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(被遗弃的)and made useless.Other experts, however, think the car is here to stay.They hold that the car will remain a lead-ing means of city travel in the foreseeable future.

  The car will undoubtedly(无容置疑的)change greatly over the next 30 years.It should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered⑨ by the gas engine.The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.

  Unless changes take place in the power system, the car in the future will still be the main problem in city traffic jams.One suggested solution to this essential⑩ problem is the automated(自动化)system, which seems to hold water.

  When the car enters the highway system, a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically(用电的,与电有关的).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.The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.

  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.The driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warn him of his coming exit(出入口).It is believed that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10 000 cars per hour, compared with the 1500 to(2000 cars that can be carried by a present-day highway.

阅读下列文字资料,按照要求匹配信息,并将答题卡上的相应选项涂黑。
请阅读下列科技新闻的信息:
A. One of the biggest science stories last year was the research on stem cells announced by South Korean scientist Hwang Woo-suk. But now it appears that the research was false. In June, Mr. Hwang reported that he and his team at Seoul National University had created eleven new stem cell lines.
B. Another major science story last year came from the United States. On December twentieth, a federal judge ruled that teaching “intelligent design” in public schools is a violation of the United States Constitution.
C. There was also news last year about the American space program. The American space shuttle(航天飞机) returned to the skies in July. Discovery and its seven-member crew made the first shuttle flight in two and one-half years. NASA had suspended shuttle flights following the deadly explosion of the shuttle Columbia in 2003.
D. Avian influenza(禽流感) was also a major science story last year. The H5N1 virus appeared in birds in Europe for the first time. Yet the only known human cases of the disease have been in East Asia. There have been about one hundred forty confirmed cases of bird flu since 2003. About half the people have died.
E. The World Health Organization advises patients to take a combination of four drugs to treat tuberculosis(肺结核). These four antibiotics must be taken for about six months to cure the disease. Some people, however, take the drugs only until they feel better. Discontinuing treatment is a mistake.
F. The researchers began the study in January, 2002. They called it SMART---Strategies for Management of Anti-retroviral Therapy. The scientists reached more than ninety percent of the target before they halted(停止) new enrollments last month. The researchers tested all the people for the level of CD-four cells in their blood. The researchers divided the patients into two groups.
阅读以下与科技有关的信息卡,然后匹配信息卡和与之相关的科技新闻:
【小题1】Card 1: One group stayed on continuous anti-retroviral therapy. They took their medicines every day. The other took them periodically. They took the drugs only when their CD-four count fell below two hundred fifty cells per cubic millimeter of blood.
【小题2】Card 2 : Judge John Jones said that intelligent design is not science. He said it is a version of Christianity. So to teach it in public schools violates the law that requires the separation of church and state. Supporters of intelligent design criticize the science of evolution.
【小题3】Card 3: Stem cells have the ability to grow into other cells. Science magazine published the report. The new lines were made from the eggs of eighteen women and skin cells from eleven other people.
【小题4】Card 4: Many of the victims had touched or been around infected farm birds. But health experts around the world began warning that the bird flu virus could change into a form that is passed from person to person.
【小题5】Card 5 : That explosion was the result of damage done to Columbia during its launch. A piece of lightweight protective material fell off the shuttle’s external fuel container. The object hit the shuttle at a high rate of speed and made a hole in one of the wings. This permitted extremely hot gases to enter the shuttle and destroy the spacecraft as it returned to the earth.
