解析
本题主要考查对文章内容的理解以及词汇的运用,解题关键在于根据上下文语境和句子逻辑来选择合适的词汇。
- “self - driving”后面需要一个名词来表示自动驾驶的某种属性,“capability”意为“能力”,“self - driving capability”表示“自动驾驶能力”,符合语境,所以此处应填“capability”。
- “be embedded into”是固定短语,意为“被嵌入到……中”,这里说AVs被嵌入到我们的日常生活中,符合文意,故填“embedded”。
- 前文提到EVs使用电力而非汽油,这对环境有好处,“sustainability”表示“可持续性”,“sustainability benefits”即“可持续性益处”,能体现EVs对环境的积极影响,所以填“sustainability”。
- “and”连接两个并列的动作,前面是“installing public charging stations”,这里需要一个动名词形式,“streamline”意为“简化”,“streamlining the vehicle registration process”表示“简化车辆注册流程”,符合城市鼓励使用EVs的措施,因此填“streamlining”。
- “enhance”有“提高,增强”的意思,“enhance the charging speed of EVs”即“提高电动汽车的充电速度”,符合汽车制造商的工作方向,所以填“enhance”。
- 结合前文提到的“saving costs for consumers”,可知这里说的是让EVs更“经济实惠”,“affordable”表示“负担得起的,经济实惠的”,故填“affordable”。
- 随着EVs的使用增加,对电力行业的“需求”会增大,“demand”意为“需求”,“greater demand will be placed on”表示“对……的需求会增加”,符合逻辑,所以填“demand”。
- 在一些能源资源紧张的地区,EVs的大量使用可能会“破坏”电力供应系统,“disrupt”表示“破坏,扰乱”,符合语境,因此填“disrupt”。
- 汽车制造商与城市规划者和公用事业公司合作,目的是为消费者和居民提供“最优”的体验,“optimal”意为“最优的,最佳的”,所以填“optimal”。
- “proceed to”表示“继续前往”,这里说无人驾驶电动汽车接载乘客后继续前往下一位乘客的位置,符合文意,故填“proceeds”。
