Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 30 The Warranty Holdings Group, a European leader in mechanical breakdown insur
28、ance and a researcher and commentator on trends in motoring, says that the motorists world 20 years from now will be marked by more cars, more choice and more technology. Built-in safety features will increase and will include night-vision and collision-avoidance system, and monitoring devices to st
29、op drivers falling asleep at the wheel. A growth in tele-working and home shopping should cut the numbers of trips in a car made by most motorists and “fun“ sports cars will become popular as private motoring becomes more recreational in nature. The survey results show that despite years of research
30、 into alternative fuel sources for vehicles, no clear winner has emerged for a replacement for the conventional petrol-engined car. Gas and electricity are the best possibilities, with Toyotas design division in Japan claiming it already has an electric car that will drive up to 250kin on a single c
31、harge. However, while electric and “hybrid“ powered vehicles will be far more in evidence in the future, it will take a major technological breakthrough to steer the car industry away from its current path of gradual improvements to the petrol-driven internal combustion engine. Professor Garel Rhys,
32、 of the Cardiff Business School in Wales, says engine fuel injection systems of the future will be far more frugal than anything that exists at the moment. “It will be like putting a pipette of petrol into the cylinders, rather than just throwing it in by the bucket load, which is almost what we do
33、at the moment when you compare it with what could be possible. “ Some environmentalists point to the Twingo, the small car developed by Frances Renault company, to show that what could be achieved by the worlds car industry if it moved away from a trend towards bigger and more powerful cars and radi
34、cally cut the fuel consumption of its products. Public opinion polls in many countries show motorists wanting access to this kind of environmentally-aware car. A prototype environmental car, the SMILE (smaller, intelligent, lighten, efficient) has been put together by the environmental group Greenpe
35、ace. The group hopes the concept will catch on. It depends heavily on supercharging or forcing fuel mixture into the cylinders at higher than normal pressure. Some experts say this is a good way to extract high performance and high fuel efficiency from small engines. Cutting the fuel consumption has
36、 had no negative effect on the handling or performance of the car, according to the designers. Top speed, flexibility and acceleration from the engine is as good or better than the original Twingo. They say the technology used to create the Twingo SMILE could just as easily be used on other brands o
37、f car. What remains to be seen is whether the enthusiasm of environmental designers catches on with the dollar-driven international car industry, and whether motorists back up with their chequebooks their desire for “greener“ cars. 31 Which of the following is true about the motorists world 20 years
38、 from now? （ A） The number of cars will reduce as more people work and shop at home. （ B） People will only use cars for recreational purposes. （ C） Cars will be better equipped to enhance bigger safety. （ D） Fun sports cars will be the mainstream of car industry. 32 It can be inferred from the passa
39、ge that _. （ A） it is unlikely that todays petrol-driven car will be a thing of the past in the near future （ B） electricity will soon be the alternative fuel source as Toyota has succeeded in designing an electric car （ C） the car industry has attempted to make a breakthrough in improving the petro
40、l-driven engine but failed （ D） the car industry is now trying to economize its current engine fuel injection systems and make the cars more powerful 33 The phrase “catch on“ (Line 2, Para. 7) most probably means _. （ A） become popular （ B） draw attention （ C） be formulated （ D） be in trouble 34 The
41、 author thinks that environmentalists who are keen for environmental cars （ A） can be very optimistic （ B） are more likely to be disappointed than satisfied （ C） will have to be patient （ D） should be cautious 35 This passage can be best entitled _. （ A） New Trends in Car Industry （ B） Environmental
42、 Car under Scrutiny （ C） The Future of Car Industry （ D） Green Cars. Is It Possible? 35 Conventional wisdom has it that concern for the environment is a luxury only the rich world can afford; that only people whose basic needs for food and shelter have been met can start worrying about the health of
43、 the planet. This survey will argue that developing countries, too, should be thinking about the environment. True, in the rich countries a strong environmental movement did not emerge until long after they had become industrialized, a stage that many developing countries have yet to reach. And true
44、, many of the developed worlds environmental concerns have little to do with immediate threats to its inhabitants well-being. People worry about whether carbon-dioxide emissions might lead to a warmer climate next century, or whether genetically engineered crops might have unforeseen consequences fo
45、r the ecosystem. That is why, when rich world environmentalists campaign against pollution in poor countries, they are often accused of naivety. Such countries, the critics say, have more pressing concerns, such as getting their people out of poverty. But the environmental problems that developing c
46、ountries should worry about are different from those that western pundits have fashionable arguments over. They are not about potential problems in the next century, but about indisputable harm being caused today by, above all, contaminated water and polluted air. The survey will argue that, contrar
47、y to conventional wisdom, solving such problems need not hurt economic growth; indeed dealing with them now will generally be cheaper than leaving them to cause further harm. In most developing countries pollution seems to be getting worse, not better. Most big cities in Latin America, for example,
48、are suffering rising levels of air pollution. Populations in these countries are growing so fast that improvements in water supply have failed to keep up with the number of extra people. Worldwide, about a billion people still have no access to clean water, and water contaminated by sewage is estima
49、ted to kill some 2 million children every year. Throughout Latin America, Asia, Africa, forests are disappearing, causing not just long-term concern about climate change but also immediate economic damage. Forest fires in Indonesia in 1997 produced a huge blanket of smog that enveloped much of South-East Asia and kept the tourists away. It could happen again, and probably will. Recent research suggests that
