问题     Automakers are doing all sorts of things to cars to make them smarter and more autonomous, as regular readers are aware. Here’s a new one: General Motors (GM) wants to take self-parking cars to a new level, letting them drop off their drivers and go off in【S1】______of empty spaces on their own. It’ll be more fuel-efficient than having humans circle the block waiting for a【S2】______to open up, GM says.
    Fuel efficiency is one of the promised benefits of【S3】______intelligent cars, which could cut down on fuel【S4】______by predicting where drivers will go and re-routing around predicted traffic jams. Smarter cars could also【S5】______with each other, preventing collisions and congestion.
    We have seen several self-parking car concepts, and GM has【S6】______the technology with its EN-V concept, says Technology Review. This new concept lets the driver hop out, leaving the car to drive itself to the nearest【S7】______empty space—even if that’s several blocks or even miles away. When it’s time to leave, the driver can【S8】______his or her car via a smartphone app, and it will reappear KITT-style to whisk (快速带走) its driver away.
    For anyone who has ever tried to park in, say, New York or San Francisco, this sounds mighty【S9】______ But would you trust your empty car to go find a safe spot to bide (等待) its time while you go about your business? In some ways that may be a greater【S10】______than the technology itself.
A) spot F) available K) memory
B) handy G) rejected L) extensively
C) conservation H) increasingly M) summon
D) challenging I) communicate N) search
E) leap J) demonstrated O) consumption
【S4】
选项
答案O
解析 名词辨析题。分析句子结构可知，空格处应填入名词，与fuel连用作cut down on的宾语。本句前半句提到智能汽车的优点之一是节省燃油，后半句进一步介绍智能汽车如何减少油耗。在备选名词中，只有consumption“消耗量；消费”符合文意。fuel consumption意为“燃油消耗”，cut down on意为“减少，削减”。
