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
【S6】
选项
答案J
解析 动词辨析题。分析句子结构可知，空格处应填入动词过去分词与其前面的助动词has构成现在完成时。下文详细介绍了通用公司EN—V概念的内容，从内容中不难看出这一概念体现了本文首段提到的GM的自动泊车技术。因此空格处填入demonstrated“演示；证明”符合文意，本句意思是“《技术评论》杂志表示，我们已经看过几种自动泊车的概念，而通用汽车公司已经通过其电动联网车(EN-V)概念展示了这方面的技术。”
