The town has also started testing a driverless bus network. Kitson hopes that will be a major mode of transportation for the town’s residents.

选项
答案 M
解析 空格前的从句中出现了动词altered“改变”，空格所在句中出现了形容词’unchanged“不变的”，由此可知，while在此表示“虽然，尽管”，引导的从句和后面的主句之间为转折关系。空格前为现在完成时的助动词has，后面为形容词，所以推测空格需要填入可充当系动词使用的动词，故选择M)remained“继续，依然”。K)maintained虽然也有“维持，保持”的意思，但它不具备系动词的功能，后面一般跟名词、从句或副词，而不能跟形容词，故排除。
