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] 【C4】
选项
答案 M
解析 空格位于动词前，最有可能填入副词。由下文可知，专家建议制定更精密的管理系统，后面还出现了digitally“电子地”，而rather than表示转折的逻辑关系，即前后相反，所以空格处应该填入和digitally以及sophisticated相反的单词，故选M)physically“物质地，有形地”，意为“城市不需要实实在在地去扩建路缘”。备选项中的O)specifically“专门地，具体地”放在这里表面意思通顺，但它强调的是某个东西或某种行为专门针对某种目的或对象，不符合此处语境，故排除。
