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] 【C1】
选项
答案 C
解析 空格位于形容词后，应填入名词。由首段首句可知，路缘在未来社会和交通工具一样重要，空格里的名词既要凸显路缘的重要性，还要和前面的humble“不起眼的”形成一种反差，因此填入C)asset“财产，有利条件”。备选项中的N)prospects“前景，希望”强调的是在某方面取得成功的可能性，一般搭配career、bright这种词，和空格前的hottest不搭，故排除。
