Also,the number of cars in the city is counted (t数).Over 3,500 little computers are put under Zurich roads to check the number of cars that come into the city,If the number is higher than the city can deal with(处理),the traffic lights on the roads that enter the city will be kept red.So drivers who are traveling into Zurich have to slop and wait until there are fewer cars in the city

短文介绍了苏黎世的减轻交通压力的方法：一是保持相同数量的停车位，此外，苏黎世的汽车数量也被计算在内，这样做的目的在于为它的人民腾出更多的空间。

【1】细节理解题。根据“One is to keep the same number of parking spaces. For example, if 50 new parking spaces are built in one part of the city,then 50 old spaces in other parts are taken away for other uses. 一是保持相同数量的停车位。例如，如果在城市的一个地方新建50个停车位，那么其他地方的50个旧车位就会被拿走作其他用途”，可知这里用的是举例的方法，故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据“One is to keep the same number of parking spaces……If people find parking more difficult, they will drive less.”可知在苏黎世是很难停车的。又根据“If the number is higher than the city can deal with(处理),the traffic lights on the roads that enter the city will be kept red.So drivers who are traveling into Zurich have to slop and wait until there are fewer cars in the city如果数量高于城市可以处理的数量，进入城市的道路上的红绿灯将保持红色。因此，前往苏黎世的司机不得不慢吞吞地等待，直到城市中的汽车减少。”可知人们不能自由去想去的地方，故选C。

【3】细节理解题。根据“If the number is higher than the city can deal with(处理),the traffic lights on the roads that enter the city will be kept red.So drivers who are traveling into Zurich have to slop and wait until there are fewer cars in the city如果数量高于城市可以处理的数量，进入城市的道路上的红绿灯将保持红色。因此，前往苏黎世的司机不得不慢吞吞地等待，直到城市中的汽车减少。”得知答案，故选C。

【4】文章结构题。短文第一段首先点明主旨苏黎世是人们离开车最不想去的地方；然后分两段介绍了苏黎世减轻交通的智能方法；最后一段再次点明苏黎世为什么这么做的原因，所以采用的是总分总的形式，故选A。
