剑桥雅思15 Test1 Passage2阅读答案解析及常考词汇

第14题答案：C

对应原文：C部分第1段：At present,the average car spends more than 90 percent of its life parked.

答案解析：原文指出，“目前，平均每辆车有90%以上的时间都停泊不动”。其中parked与not in use对应，more than 90 percent of its life对应the maount of time，由此确定答案为C。

第15题答案：B

对应原文：B部分：One frequently cited motive is safety…Another aim is to free the time people spend driving for other purposes…those who are challenged by existing mobility models may be able to enjoy significantly greater travel autonomy.

答案解析：B部分一开始就提到，无人驾驶技术文章来自老烤鸭雅思进步如此之快有许多原因。随后有详细列举了三个好处：安全，解放时间，以及赋予残疾人和老年人更大的出行自主性。由此确定答案为B。

第16题答案：E

对应原文：E部分第1段：drivers will have the freedom to select one that best suits their needs for a particular journey

答案解析：E部分提到，“司机有自由选择最适合他们某一出行需求的车辆”。其中freedom对应opportunity，select对应choosing，most appropriate对应best suits，particular journey对应each trip，由此确定E为正确答案。

第17题答案：G

对应原文：G部分：It’s clear that there are many challenges that need to be addressed but…these can most probably be conquered within the next 10 years.

答案解析：G部分开头提到，“虽然有许多挑战等待解决，但这些问题很有可能在未来10年内得到解决”。其中next 10 years对应how long，conquered对应overcome，由此锁定答案。

第18题答案：D

对应原文：D部分第2段：This faster rate of turnover may mean that vehicle production will not necessarily decrease.

答案解析：D部分第2段最后一句提到，“更快的置换率可能意味着汽车生产量不必下降”。即使用无人驾驶汽车对汽车的生产量没有什么影响。由此锁定答案。

第19题答案：human error

对应原文：B部分第1段：research at the UK’s Transport Research Laboratory has demonstrated that more than 90 percent of road collisions involve human error as a contributory factor

答案解析：根据Transport Research Laboratory定位到B部分的这句话。原文中提到，90%以上的交通事故都涉及人为犯错的因素。题干中due to对应contributory factor，由此确定human error为正确答案。

第20题答案：car(-)sharing

对应原文：C部分：Automation means that initiatives for car-sharing become much more viable

答案解析：这道题比较考验大家对同义替换的敏感程度。题干中schemes对应initiatives，workable对应viable，根据句子结构判断答案为car-sharing。

第21题答案：ownership

对应原文：D部分第3段：Modelling work by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute suggests automated vehicles might reduce vehicle ownership by 43 percent

答案解析：根据University of Michigan和43 percent定位到D部分的这句话。题干问的是哪方面的数量会有下降，只有ownership填上去语义合适，由此确定它为答案。

第22题答案：mileage

对应原文：D部分第3段：but that vehicles’average annual mileage would double as a result.

答案解析：根据however与but的对应定位导致这句话，yearly与annual同义替换，由修饰关系确定mileage为答案。

第23题答案：C

对应原文：B部分第2段：If the vehicle can do some or all of the driving,it may be possible to be productive,to socialise or simply to relax

答案解析：原文中提到，“如果汽车能够自动驾驶，那么人们就可以工作、社交或者仅仅是放松一下”，对应C选项doing something other than driving，由此判断C为正确答案。

第24题答案：D

对应原文：B部分第2段：If the vehicle can do the driving,those who are challenged by existing mobility models–such as older or disabled travellers–may be able to enjoy significantly greater travel autonomy.

答案解析：原文中提到，“无人驾驶可以使那些受困于目前出行模式的人，比如老年人或者残疾人，享受更大的出行自主权”。D选项physically difficult对应older or disabled travellers，independently对应autonomy，由此判断它为正确答案。A选项错在car travellers（是汽车生产商节省成本，而非司机）；B选项和E选项原文中都未曾提及。

第25题答案：A

对应原文：F部分：the societal changes that may be required for communities to trust and accept automated vehicles

答案解析：F部分提到其中一项困难是“让公众信任和接受自动化车辆”。A选项中confidence对应trust and accept，由此锁定答案。

第26题答案：E

对应原文：F部分：technical difficulties in ensuring that the vehicle works reliably in the infinite range of traffic,weather and road situations it might encounter

答案解析：F部分同时还提到了自动化汽车的技术困难，即“确保汽车在各种可能遇到的交通、天气和道路状况下都能够可靠地行驶”。E选项中various different driving conditions即对应交通、天气和道路状况，由此判断它为正确答案。B选项，C选项和D选项在原文中都未提及，因此统统排除。
