A、growth in tele-working and home shopping should cut the numbers of trips in a car made by most motorists and "fun" sports cars will become popular as private motoring becomes more recreational in nature.
The survey results show that despite years of research into alternative fuel sources for vehicles, no clear winner has emerged for a replacement for the conventional petrol-engined car. Gas and electricity are the best possibilities, with Toyota’s design division in Japan claiming it already has an electric car that will drive up to 250kin on a single charge.
However, while electric and "hybrid" powered vehicles will be far more in evidence in the future, it will take a major technological breakthrough to steer the car industry away from its current path of gradual improvements to the petrol-driven internal combustion engine.
Professor Garel Rhys, of theCardiffBusiness School in Wales, says engine fuel injection systems of the future will be far more frugal than anything that exists at the moment. "It will be like putting a pipette of petrol into the cylinders, rather than just throwing it in by the bucket load, which is almost what we do at the moment when you compare it with what could be possible. "
Some environmentalists point to the Twingo, the small car developed by France’s Renault company, to show that what could be achieved by the world’s car industry if it moved away from a trend towards bigger and more powerful cars and radically cut the fuel consumption of its products. Public opinion polls in many countries show motorists wanting access to this kind of environmentally-aware car.
A、prototype environmental car, the SMILE、(smaller, intelligent, lighten, efficient) has been put together by the environmental group Greenpeace. The group hopes the concept will catch on. It depends heavily on supercharging or forcing fuel mixture into the cylinders at higher than normal pressure. Some experts say this is a good way to extract high performance and high fuel efficiency from small engines.
Cutting the fuel consumption has had no negative effect on the handling or performance of the car, according to the designers. Top speed, flexibility and acceleration from the engine is as good or better than the original Twingo. They say the technology used to create the Twingo SMILE、could just as easily be used on other brands of car.
What remains to be seen is whether the enthusiasm of environmental designers catches on with the dollar-driven international car industry, and whether motorists back up with their chequebooks their desire for "greener" cars.
B．People will only use cars for recreational purposes.
Cars will be better equipped to enhance bigger safety.
D．"Fun" sports cars will be the mainstream of car industry.

网考网解析：
细节题。根据文章第一段，未来20年汽车世界的特点是：汽车数量更多、选择范围更广和技术更加先进，车内安全特征将会增加，其中包括夜视和防碰撞系统以及防止司机开车时睡觉的监控装置。C与此吻合，A意思相反；根据第二段，远距离电脑办公和家庭购物的兴起将可能减少大多数开车者驾车出行的次数，随着个人驾车本质上更具消遣性，“娱乐性”跑车将更受欢迎，但这不意味着人们用车只是为了娱乐；跑车会更受欢迎，但并非将成为汽车业的主流，所B和D都不准确。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
