题目解答

答案

第一段表明，自动驾驶汽车可帮助老年人减少社交孤立，同时为残疾人提供更高独立性。选项A未提及“留在家中”，B不符合“老年人”，C与“enable a greater level of independence for disabled people”一致。故正确答案为C。 答案：C. 它们使残疾人能够更加独立。

解析

本题考查对文章中关于自动驾驶汽车影响相关内容的理解。解题思路是仔细阅读文章，明确文中提到的自动驾驶汽车对不同人群的影响，然后将各选项与原文内容进行逐一比对。

  • 文章中提到 “The introduction of self - driving cars could have a major impact on how older adults go about their daily lives. It is hoped these cars will help reduce the social isolation and loneliness we often experience as we get older.”，说明自动驾驶汽车能帮助老年人减少社交孤立和孤独感。
  • 又提到 “this technology has the potential to enable a greater level of independence for disabled people, both those with visible disabilities and those with non - visible disabilities.”，表明自动驾驶汽车能让残疾人有更高程度的独立性。
  • 接着分析选项：
    • 选项A：文中未提及自动驾驶汽车能让老年人待在自己家中，所以A选项错误。
    • 选项B：原文说的是帮助老年人减少社交孤立，而不是孤立的年轻人，B选项与原文不符，错误。
    • 选项C：“They make it possible for the disabled to be more independent.” 与原文 “enable a greater level of independence for disabled people” 意思一致，C选项正确。
