Cities are getting smarter every day, so are their transit options. One emerging option is autonomous vehicles (AVs), or simply cars with self-driving 1) ______. However, as experts say, before we enter a reality where AVs are 2) ______ into our daily lives, we will see the continued rise of electric vehicles (EVs) all over the world.
Besides saving costs for consumers, EVs can bring many 3) ______ benefits to the environment because they use electricity instead of gas to drive their wheels. Many large cities are trying to encourage the use of EVs by installing public charging stations throughout the city and 4) ______ the vehicle registration process. At the same time, many automakers are working to 5) ______ the charging speed of EVs and to make EVs more 6) ______.
As the use of EVs rises, greater 7) ______ will be placed on the power industry. In some areas where energy resources are stressed already, the increasing use of EVs could well 8) ______ the electrical supply system.
EVs can also impact urban planning. Thus, consideration of commute options, location of charging stations, and open data should be part of a city's future mobility plans. It is important for automakers to partner with urban planners

解析
本题主要考查对文章内容的理解以及词汇的运用,需要根据上下文语境从给定的词汇库中选择合适的单词填入空白处。
- 第一空:根据“self - driving”(自动驾驶),这里需要一个表示“能力”的词,“capability”意为“能力”,“self - driving capability”即“自动驾驶能力”,所以此空填“capability”。
- 第二空:“be embedded into”是固定短语,意为“融入”,这里说自动驾驶汽车融入我们的日常生活,符合语境,所以填“embedded”。
- 第三空:根据“because they use electricity instead of gas to drive their wheels”(因为它们用电而不是汽油来驱动车轮)可知,电动汽车对环境有“可持续性”的好处,“sustainability”表示“可持续性”,故填“sustainability”。
- 第四空:“and”连接两个并列的动作,前面是“installing public charging stations”(安装公共充电站),这里需要一个与“简化”意思相关的词来搭配“the vehicle registration process”(车辆注册流程),“streamlining”意为“简化”,所以填“streamlining”。
- 第五空:“the charging speed of EVs”(电动汽车的充电速度),需要一个表示“提高”的动词,“enhance”有“增强;提高”的意思,所以填“enhance”。
- 第六空:结合语境,汽车制造商要让电动汽车更“经济实惠”,“affordable”表示“负担得起的;经济实惠的”,故填“affordable”。
- 第七空:随着电动汽车的使用增加,对电力行业的“需求”会更大,“demand”意为“需求”,“greater demand will be placed on...”表示“对……的需求会增加”,所以填“demand”。
- 第八空:在一些能源资源已经紧张的地区,电动汽车使用量的增加很可能会“扰乱”供电系统,“disrupt”表示“破坏;扰乱”,所以填“disrupt”。
