问题     It is the urban driver’s most agonizing everyday experience: the search for an empty parking place. Circling, narrowly missing a spot, cleverly defeating other motorists to finally【C1】________into a space only to discover that it is【C2】________limits during working hours.
    In San Francisco, it is also a worrying traffic problem. Drivers【C3】________for parking spots generate 30 percent of all【C4】________traffic jam, city officials estimate. Now San Francisco proclaims that they have found a【C5】________—a phone app for spot-seekers that【C6】________information about areas with available spaces. The system, introduced last month, relies on wireless sensors【C7】________in streets and city garages that can tell【C8】________seconds if a spot has opened up.【C9】________the system could come with serious consequences. Safety advocates say that drivers on the search for parking could【C10】________focusing on their phones, not the road.  "It could be really
    【C11】________," said Daniel Simons, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois, where he studies the science of attention. And, he said, it could also be【C12】________: "Most people are looking for parking spaces in places that have a lot of traffic and a lot of【C13】________." City officials acknowledge the potential【C14】________. They are urging drivers to【C15】________before they pull up the city’s iPhone app, or to do so before they leave home. But the spots can disappear quickly,【C16】________any circling driver knows, and for plugged-in motorists in the habit of texting or glancing at the GPS, the urge to use the parking app is certain to【C17】________as the frustration does. San Francisco has put sensors into 7,000 metered parking spots and 12,250 spots in city garages. If spaces in an area open up, the sensors communicate wirelessly with computers that in turn make the information【C18】________to app users within a minute. On the app, a map shows which blocks have lots of places (blue) and which are【C19】________(red). San Francisco’s is by far the most widespread【C20】________that several cities, universities and private parking garages are experimenting with.
【C10】
选项 A、prevent from
B、linger on
C、ward off
D、end up
答案D
解析 后面的宾语focusing on their phones(注意力集中在手机上)是使用此手机应用程序可能最终导致的后果，可推出D项end up“以……结束；最后”为答案，意为“司机在搜寻停车位时可能最后把注意力集中在手机上而没有注意路面”。A项 prevent from“阻止；妨碍”，C项ward off“阻挡(危险、疾病等)”，开车使用手机程序，就难以避免把注意力集中在手机上，因此可排除这两项有“阻止，避免”意思的选项。B项linger on意为“逗留(某地)”，与宾语无法搭配。
