1.In many parts of the world,cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them.(71)E But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously,not only by government but also by car manufacturers.
The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program.(72)AThat will mean much saving,no accidents and better use of roads.The super-intelligent car in the future will drive itself.(73)CInstead,we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.
According to Dr.David Davis,who leads the research team,these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture,which had blocked up our cities,polluted our air,and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.
Davis says.ears will be fitted with some intelligent devices(装置)to regulate(调节)the distance between one car and another.(74)GComputers are much safer drivers than people,so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.
By 2010,Dr.David Davis believes,car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road,whatever the weather conditions,by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the car's windscreen.(75)DCars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form"road-trains"."The front vehicle in such a train bums the normal amount."says Davis."but all the others in the train would bum about ten percent of the normal amount,and so produce about ten percent of the pollution."
A.The team there believes that by 2030 all cars will be computerized.
B.They believe that cars will become more important in 20 years.
C.And it will not be owned by one individual.
D.And by 2030,cars will travel in line,linked to each other electronically.
E.So the idea that in 20 years'time,no one will own cars may be hard to believe.
F.Every driver will use less fuel in the car he owns.
G.The car will automatically speed up,or slow down,to match the speed of the car in front.
分析 在现代社会中,汽车起着越来越重要的作用,并分析了在为了汽车可能会变成什么样子.
解答 EACGD
71.E 细节题.根据cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them可知,在现代生活中,没有车社会就不存在了,故这句是E内容的原因.
72.A 细节题. 根据That will mean much saving,no accidents and better use of roads可知,到那时将会更节省,而且没有道路交通事故,道路也会被更好的使用,即只有计算机化的汽车才能避免车祸
73.C 细节题.根据后面的instead,we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing可知,我们有选择汽车的机会,而且可以像换 衣服那样改变汽车,推出汽车不再是个人的,故选C.
74.G 细节题.根据with some intelligent devices(装置) to regulate(调节) the distance between one car and another可知,与G中的调节速度保持车距相符.
75.D 细节题.,根据Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form"road-trains可知,车与车之间要连接起来,与选项里linked to each other 对应,故选D.
点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
