Question

16．In many parts of the world，cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them．（71）EBut this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously，not only by government but also by ear 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 of the 21st century will drive itself（73）C，．Instead，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，cars 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（影像）of the road ahead on to the car's windscreen（75）D．Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form"road-trains"．"The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount．"says Davis．"But all the others in the train would burn 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 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了政府推测的2020年的汽车，他们认为那时的车是全自动的，有电脑控制，更加方便快捷也更加的安全，并且污染更少．

解答 71：E  72：A  73：C  74：G  75：D
71：E．考查的是上下文的语境理解能力．根据cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them可知，这句是E内容的原因．
72：A．考查的是上下文的语境理解能力．根据That will mean much saving，no accidents and better use of roads可知，只有计算机化的汽车才能避免车祸
73：C．考查的是上下文的语境理解能力．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，
74：G．考查的是上下文的语境理解能力．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．考查的是上下文的语境理解能力．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
