Question

There are little cars that may some day take the place of today’s automobiles(汽車). If everyone drives such a little car in the future, there will be less pollution in the air, there will be more parking space in cities, and the streets will be less crowded. The space now for one car of the usual size can hold at least three such little cars.
The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too, as these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour.
The cars of the future will be fine for going around the city, but they will not be useful for going far away. If the car is powered by electricity, it will have two batteries—one battery for the motor and the other for the horn (喇叭), signals (信號(hào)燈), etc. Little cars which are powered by gas will go 45 kilometers before needing to stop for more gas.
If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed to set up in the future. Some roads will be used for the big, fast cars, and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones.
1. What’s the advantage (優(yōu)勢(shì)) of the small cars?
A. There won’t be so much pollution and the small cars won’t be so expensive as the big ones.
B. It will be safer to drive these small cars.
C. There will be more space for cars to park.
D. All of the above.
2. Two sets of roads are necessary in the future in order to      .
A. prevent car accidents
B. make the city more beautiful
C. let small cars run fast
D. limit the speed of the cars
3. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. A car of the usual size now is three times as big as the small car.
B. The small car with a speed of 65 kilometers an hour is much more useless than a car of the usual size.
C. the little car will be safer but cost more.
D. The little car will need more gas.
4. The best title for this passage should be      .
A. Big Cars and Small Cars
B. How to Drive Small Cars
C. Cars for Tomorrow
D. Cars for Everyone

1. 此題難度不大。第1、2段給出了小汽車的優(yōu)勢(shì)：占地少，污染小，駕駛安全，價(jià)格低廉。A、B、C項(xiàng)都有，故選D。
2. 這種小型汽車（little cars）有優(yōu)勢(shì)，但也有弱點(diǎn)（比如車速），所以將來(lái)要有兩種汽車道并存，兩種汽車道路，其目的在于“各行其道，避免車禍”。A為正確答案。
3. 根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句判斷，選項(xiàng)A正確。
4.文章主要是對(duì)未來(lái)的汽車而做的種種設(shè)想。因此 “Cars for Tomorrow”為最佳標(biāo)題。A項(xiàng)沒表達(dá)出作者的意旨，因而不好。
5. 探險(xiǎn)者在月球上發(fā)現(xiàn)了很多“月球人”居住的地下城市，從而感到驚奇。
