The arrival of the mass-produced car, just over a century ago, caused a(n)【C1】________ of business creation. First came the makers of cars and all the parts that go into them. Then came the garages, filling stations and all sorts of other car-dependent【C2】________: car parks, motels, out-of-town shopping centres.
Now another revolution on wheels is on the horizon: the driverless car. Nobody is sure when it will【C3】________. Google, which is testing a fleet of autonomous cars, thinks in maybe a decade, others reckon longer. And, when it does, the self-driving car, like the ordinary kind, could bring【C4】________ change.
Just imagine. It could, for a start, save the motor industry from stagnation. Carmakers are anxious about【C5】________ that smartphone-obsessed teenagers these days do not rush to get a driving licence and buy their first car, as their parents did. But once they are spared the trouble and expense of taking lessons and【C6】________ a test, young adults might rediscover the joys of the open road. Another【C7】________ for the motor industry is that car use seems to be peaking in the most congested cities. Yet automated cars would drive nose-to-tail, increasing the capacity of existing roads; and since they would be able to【C8】________ their passengers and drive away, the lack of parking spaces in town might not matter so much.
All these trends will affect the car business. But when mass-produced cars【C9】________. they had an impact on the whole of society. Electronics and software firms will be among the winners: besides providing all the sensors and computing power that self-driving cars will need, they will enjoy strong demand for in-car entertainment systems,【C10】________ cars’ occupants will no longer need to keep their eyes on the road. [br] 【C9】

选项

答案 L

解析此处需要填不及物动词，作从句的谓语，后面主句用的是过去时(they had…)，可知空格处应填入动词过去式。词库中有appeared和decreased，第二段最后一句提到自动驾驶汽车大量生产时将对社会有深远影响。所以此处填appeared“出现”。
