Compared with other modes of transport, train technology might seem to be progressing as slowly as a suburban commuter service rattling its way from one station to another. Automotive technology,【C1】______, changes constantly: in the past decade satellite-navigation systems, hybrid power trains, proximity sensors and other innovations have【C2】______Each time you buy a new car, you will【C3】______a host of new features. Progress is【C4】______in aircraft, too, with【C5】______in in-flight entertainment and communication, fancy seats that turn into beds, and quieter and more efficient engines. Trains,【C6】______, appear to have changed a lot less.
This【C7】______is not entirely fair.【C8】______, people buy their own cars, so they pay more attention to automotive innovation. Carmakers are【C9】______in a constant arms race, trumpeting new features as a way to【C10】______their products. Nobody buys their own trains. Similarly, air passengers have a choice of【C11】______airlines and are far more likely to be aware of the【C12】______of rival fleets than they are of different types of train.【C13】______, trains have longer lives, so technology takes longer to become【C14】______The planning horizon for one rail project【C15】______to 2050.
【C16】______there is no【C17】______of new ideas, and they are steadily making their way out onto the rails. Better technologies are【C18】______everything from improved traction, braking and route-planning to sleek levitating trains(流线型悬浮列车)designed to glide on air at an astonishing 500kph. Energy-efficiency and safety are up, and derailments are down. There are schemes to【C19】______electrical energy from braking trains into local power grids, and even more【C20】______plans for "moving platforms" that dock with high-speed trains.
【C4】
选项
A、predictable
B、apparent
C、unsteady
D、negligible
答案
B
解析
本题考查上下文语义。上文提到汽车技术的持续发展,本句指出飞机的进步也……。显然,本句是介绍航空业同汽车业一样也有(too)持续的技术进步,从而形成对火车技术进展缓慢的对比,因此首先排除[C]unsteady和[D]negligible,它们与文意相反。[A]predictable指对未来要发生的事预测,而后面介绍的是已经存在的各项发展,无法衔接。只有apparent代入,指航空业的发展也是显而易见的,与上文“可以发现(no—tice)汽车的许多创新”呼应,也与后文介绍这些发展的语义相符,因此正确。
