They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion （拥挤）.One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable （可伸缩的）arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the cars movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer （蜂鸣器）that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present day highway.1.One significant improvement in the future car will probably be （ ）.2.What is the authors main concern?3.What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?4.In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is to （ ）.5.What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?问题1选项A.its power sourceB.its driving systemC.its monitoring systemD.its seating capacity问题2选项A.How to render automobiles pollution-free.B.How to make smaller and safer automobilesC.How to solve the problem of traffic jamsD.How to develop an automated subway system问题3选项A.A railB.An engineC.A retractable armD.A computer controller问题4选项A.keep in the right laneB.wait to arrive at his destinationC.keep in constant touch with the computer centerD.inform the system of his destination by phone问题5选项A.Enthusiastic.B.PessimisticC.OptimisticD.Cautious【答案】第1题:A第2题:C第3题:A第4题:D第5题:C【解析】第1题:细节事实题。第二段指出：It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types（它应该变得更小、更安全和更经济且不再由汽油发动机提供动力，未来的汽车也应该比现在更环保）。因此A项“它的动力来源”正确。第2题:细节事实题。第三段指出：Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion（不管它的动力来源如何，在未来，汽车也将仍然是导致城市交通拥挤的主要因素）。之后的两个段落就解决这个问题进行了论述。因此，作者主要关心如何解决交通堵塞的问题，故选C项。第3题:细节事实题。第四段指出: .make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically (与轨道接触，它类似于为地铁列车供电的东西)。因此，A项 “铁轨”正确。第4题:细节事实题。第五段指出：The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system（司机将使用电话将目的地指示拨入系统）。因此D项 “用电话通知系统他的目的地”正确。第5题:观点态度题。作者在第一段指出了有关汽车未来的两个观点，一是汽车将会被人废弃，二是汽车依然会是城市交通的主要方式。随后提到其他权威人士认为汽车在可预见的未来将仍然是一个主要的城市交通工具，后面对未来发展问题的解决进行探讨。由此可见作者对于汽车的发展是持乐观态度的。故选C项。3. 单选题（ ）conflict among city-states caused the eventual decline of Greek civilization.问题1选项A.ContinuousB.ContinualC.ConstantD.Contrary【答案】B【解析】句意:城邦之间的持续冲突导致了希腊文明的最终衰落。考查形容词辨析。continuous和continual都有“连续的，持续的”意思，但continuous强调“不间断”而continual 强调“频繁，反复”。Constant 不变的，恒定的；contrary 相反的，对立的。这里是用来形容城邦间的冲突，故选B。4. 单选题As a（ ）actor, he can perform, sing, dance and play several kinds of musical instruments.问题1选项A.flexibleB.versatileC.sophisticatedD.productive【答案】B【解析】句意:作为一个多才多艺的演员，他能表演、唱歌、跳舞和演奏多种乐器。考查形容词辨析。flexible 灵活的,柔韧的；versatile 多才多艺的，万能的，通用的；sophisticated 复杂的，久经世故的，富有经验的；productive 多产的，富有成效的。根据后面句意 “他能表演、唱歌、跳舞和演奏多种乐器”可知B项正确。5. 单选题The key words Francis wrote on the back of an old letter, “The Star Spangled Banner'' became the national （ ）of the United States.问题1选项A.songB.hymnC.anthemD.motto【答案】A【解析】句意:弗朗西斯在一封旧信的背面写下的关键词“星条旗之歌”后来成为了美国的国歌。考查名词辨析。song 歌曲;h
