【正文】 2012年英語四級考試仔細(xì)閱讀練習(xí)(4)Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinishedstatements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage one Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the nottoodistant 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 bee smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollutionfree than present types. Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urbantraffic congestion (擁擠). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system. When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸縮的) 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 bee electrically powered from the system, and control of thevehicle will pass to a central puter. The puter will then monitor all of the car’s movements. The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The puter 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(蜂鳴器) that will warn him of his ing exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle10,000 vehicles per hour, pared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a presentday highway. 21.
