personal motor car does not fulfil a function that walking，biking and taking public transport can do.The goal of Hamburgs project is to replace roads with a green network，which will allow people to navigate through the city without the use of cars.Banishing the car from urban areas is becoming a common trend in many European cities.London imposes a “congestion charge” on private vehicles entering the city centre during rush hours.Copenhagen is building bicycle superhighways radiating(呈辐射状) from the city centre.These developments combined may make worrying reading for driving enthusiasts.Is the time of the personal car over?In the century since the Ford Model T was introduced in 1908，global vehicle numbers have swollen to well over a billion.But according to the recent research，the growth may have stopped.According to Professor Michael Sivak，at the University of Michigan，“motorization” in the US might have reached a peak in 2008，and the figures have been on the decline since then.“New York，Washington，Boston，Philadelphia，each has more than thirty percent of households without a light duty vehicle，”says Sivak.In fact，the figures show that fiftysix percent of households in New York (which top the list) dont have a car.“I think that will be surprising to most people.It was surprising to me，and I am in the business.”Sivak thinks a number of factors could be contributing to the trend，including working from home and the movement of populations back to city centers.In China，Beijing and Shanghai are looking at plans to limit the number of new vehicles being registered to control growth.Its movement more cities are looking to，particularly in the US.5Why does Hamburg launch the “carfree” program?ATo build a green environment.BTo fix a worldwide road network.CTo call on people to take exercise.DTo replace the public transport.答案A解析细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The goal of Hamburgs project is to replace roads with a green network，which will allow people to navigate through the city without the use of cars.”可知，该项目是为了创建一个绿色的环境。6The underlined word “Banishing” in Paragraph 2 can best be replaced by “ ”Aputting out Bgiving awayCdriving away Dsetting out答案C解析词义猜测题。根据下文内容可知，伦敦市向高峰期进入市中心的私家车征收“交通拥堵费”；哥本哈根正在建设从城市中心散开的自行车高速公路。这两个例子是为了说明使汽车远离市区正在成为许多欧洲城市的共同趋势。因此该词可用drive away替代，表示“使离去”。7Professor Michael Sivak uses the examples in Paragraph 5 .Ato prove the number of cars has been increasing sharplyBto persuade Americans to give up their way of lifeCto introduce to the readers a new trend in buying carsDto show many Americans have already abandoned cars答案D解析推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句中的“.motorization in the US might have reached a peak in 2008，and the figures have been on the decline since then.”及第五段的前两句可知，Michael Sivak举例是想说明许多美国人已经放弃使用汽车了。8What can be learned from the last paragraph?AMost people like to work in the countryside.BIt is only big cities that are taking action.CMany factors contribute to the trend.DEffective rules have come into effect.答案C解析细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Sivak thinks a number of factors could be contributing to the trend.”可知，汽车使用量减少的趋势是由很多因素造成的，应选C。.完形填空My watch broke a few days ago，which made me sad.The watchband(表带) broke
