In many parts of the world cars play an essential role in daily life and many societies wo

uld cease to function without them. So, tile claim that in 20 years' time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe. But this is tile prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by governments but also by car manufacturers.

The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the U. K. is part of an international research program. The team there believes that by 2020 all cars will be computerized which will mean gigantic fuel savings, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21 st century will drive itself, and it will not be owned by one individual. Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.

According to Dr. David Davies, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture, which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air, and caused more deaths' than both world wars put together. Davies says, cars will be fitted with intelligent cruise-con-trol devices to regulate the distance between one car and another. Brakes and accelerators will become redundant(多余的) because the car will automatically speed up, or slow down, to match the speed of the car in front. Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars and trains will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.

By 2010, David Davies maintains, car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road, whatever the weather conditions, by projecting an image of the road ahead onto the car's windscreen. And, by 2020, cars will travel in convoy, linked to each other electronically. Cars will be connected by an electronically bar to the car in front to form. "road-train". "The front vehicle in such a train," says Davies. "But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount, and so produce about ten percent of the poollution."

We know that governments and car manufacturers______.

A．don't believe the prediction that nobody will own cars by 2020

B．are devoted to the technological innovation in car industry

C．consider the predictions made by the researchers seriously

D．have put the super-intelligent car into mass production

？Read the article below about improvements.

？Choose the correct word or phrase to fill each gap from A, B, C, or D.

？For each question 21—30, mark one letter (A, B, C, or D) on your Answer Sheet.

Are Improvements Worth Paying for？

As goods and services improved, people were persuaded to spend their money in changing from old to new, and found the change worth the expense. When an airline equipped itself with jets, for example, its costs and therefore airfares would go up , but the new planes meant such an improvement that the higher cost was justified. A new car or wireless washing machine, electric kettle made life so much more comfortable than the old one that the high cost of replacement was amply (21) . Manufacturers still cry their wares as persuasively as (22) but are the improvements really worth paying for？ In many fields things have now reached such a high standard of performance that (23) progress is very limited and very, very expensive. Airlines, for example, go to enormous expense (24) buying the latest prestige jets, in which vast research costs have been (25) on relatively small improvements. If we scrape these vast costs we might lose the chance of paring minutes (26) flying times; but wouldn't it be better to see air fares drop dramatically, as capital costs become relatively insignificant？ Again, in the context of a 70 m.p.h, limit, with platoons of cars traveling so densely (27) control each other's speeds, improvements in performance are virtually irrelevant. Small improvements here are unlikely to be worth the thousands anybody replacing a(an) (28) family car every two years may ultimately have spent on them. Let us (29) have cars—or wirelesses, electric kettles, washing machines, light bulbs—which are made to last, and not made to be replaced. Significant progress is obviously a good thing; but the insignificant (30) from model-change to model-change is not.

(21)

A．replaced

B．regained

C．resigned

D．repaid
