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.

选项

答案 M

解析 空格位于动词前,最有可能填入副词。由下文可知,专家建议制定更精密的管理系统,后面还出现了digitally“电子地”,而rather than表示转折的逻辑关系,即前后相反,所以空格处应该填入和digitally以及sophisticated相反的单词,故选M)physically“物质地,有形地”,意为“城市不需要实实在在地去扩建路缘”。备选项中的O)specifically“专门地,具体地”放在这里表面意思通顺,但它强调的是某个东西或某种行为专门针对某种目的或对象,不符合此处语境,故排除。
