Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas. 【1】

Most Americans would find it hard to imagine what life would look like without cars. 【2】 The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.

【3】 That’s what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.

Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. 【4】 Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.

To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help keep the air clean. But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. 【5】

Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.

A. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.

B. Americans know cars very well.

C. However, some have realized the serious problems of the air pollution that is caused by cars.

D. One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute.

F. Americans won’t live without cars！

G. Inventors are now working on steam car as well as electric cars.

【解析】

試題分析：美國(guó)人的生活和汽車息息相關(guān)，但由汽車導(dǎo)致的大氣污染問(wèn)題也很嚴(yán)重。針對(duì)這一問(wèn)題，本文討論了一些解決方法例如生產(chǎn)使用情節(jié)能源的汽車，或者以自行車代替汽車等。

【1】F 考查上下文聯(lián)系。根據(jù)前文One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas.可知，美國(guó)人的生活與汽車息息相關(guān)，而選項(xiàng)F意為“美國(guó)人離開了汽車簡(jiǎn)直活不下去”，正是對(duì)這一現(xiàn)象的一個(gè)總結(jié)，也與下文Most Americans would find it hard to imagine what life would look like without cars相關(guān)聯(lián)，故選F。

【2】C 考查上下文聯(lián)系。分析語(yǔ)境可知，此處前文說(shuō)明大多數(shù)美國(guó)人對(duì)汽車的依賴，而后文The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.提到的是大氣污染。而選項(xiàng)C在語(yǔ)境上起到了承上啟下的作用，符合語(yǔ)境，故選C。

【3】D 考查上下文聯(lián)系。分析后文That’s what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done可知，幾個(gè)大的汽車工廠一直努力想生產(chǎn)清潔無(wú)污染的汽車。由此可以推斷that指的是build a clean car，瀏覽選項(xiàng)發(fā)現(xiàn)D選項(xiàng)與之對(duì)應(yīng)，符合語(yǔ)境，故選D。

【4】G 考查上下文聯(lián)系。前文講述另一種方法是用其他東西代替汽車發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)，后文提到許多制造商相信需要一些年來(lái)開發(fā)一種人們喜歡的實(shí)用的樣車，故A項(xiàng)“發(fā)明家們正在開發(fā)蒸汽車和電動(dòng)汽車”連接上下文，故選G。

【5】A 考查上下文聯(lián)系。分析前文But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down可知，這種轉(zhuǎn)變不會(huì)輕易到來(lái)，因?yàn)槿绻�一個(gè)汽車工廠倒閉，將會(huì)有許多工人失業(yè)。選項(xiàng)A中將環(huán)境污染問(wèn)題與工人失業(yè)問(wèn)題進(jìn)行比較，符合語(yǔ)境，故選A。
