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] 【C9】
选项
答案 E
解析 空格位于spend time之后，应填入动词的-ing形式，构成表达spend time doing sth．“花费时间做某事”。本句开头出现了as a result，故推测此句是在讲利用电子地图掌握路缘实时情况所带来的好处，后面又出现了block“街区”和目的状语find parking“找到停车点”，故填入E)circling，表示“围着街区转来转去”。若选择L)observing“观察”，则不符合常识，因为在寻找停车点的时候只靠观察是不够的，需要边开车边寻找。
