问题    In the city of the future, the ability to get people from point A to point B will be as much about the vehicle as it will be about the curb(路缘). This means the humble curb is fast becoming the city’s hottest
  【C1】______. Most experts estimate that an average of 30% of the traffic in busy urban areas can be【C2】______for by vehicles searching for places along the curb to pull over. Congestion cannot be【C3】______without a proper place for our future driverless vehicles to drop off passengers.
   Rather than【C4】______expand curb space, however, a city only needs to create a more sophisticated management system. Some experts have proposed an easy【C5】______for cities to get started: cities can know the exact location of every curb by digitally【C6】______all of them out, including everything from parking signs to fire hydrants (消防栓) to bike lanes.
   Armed with that data, a city can more effectively reallocate the curb and implement【C7】______management schemes. Vehicles would know exactly which curb spaces were available—perhaps because of that information【C8】______directly into Google Maps. As a result, the vehicles wouldn’t spend time【C9】______the block to find parking. Vehicle passengers would likely also get closer to their actual【C10】______. The madness of the street today often causes an Uber, for example, to drop its passengers off a block away. That wouldn’t have to be the case in the future.
   A) accounted I) fix
   B) alleviated J) integrated
   C) asset K) mapping
   D) beneficial L) observing
   E) circling M) physically
   F) destinations N) prospects
   G) displayed O) specifically
   H) dynamic [br] 【C2】
选项
答案 A
解析 空格位于系动词和介词之间，应填入形容词或动词的过去分词，而后面又出现了介词by，这种情况就只能填入动词的过去分词表被动。前面出现了数字30％，故推测填入A)accounted构成短语account for表示“(数量、比例上)占……”。备选项中的D)beneficial虽然也可以构成短语be beneficial for“对……有利”，但不能搭配后面的by vehicles且从语义上说不通，故排除。
