三、短文填空
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式，并将答案写在答题卡相应位置。
Here is the car of the future! This car is very different 26 today’s cars; it is silent and clean. Today’s cars have wheels, but this one does not. It 27 (move) like a snail, but is much faster than a snail!
This car will use electricity instead of gasoline. It will have 28 (battery) that can be recharged (充电) very quickly from chargers built into the road. It will also be easy to drive.
In fact, you won’t need to drive the car because it will drive 29 (it). You will just need to tell the computer: “Go to X” and the car will go there. Also, it will reach your destination (目的地) very quickly, much 30 (fast) than today’s cars. It will also be very safe and comfortable.
A lot of the technology already exists, 31 it is very experimental. Scientists are making new materials for the surfaces of roads. Fifty years from now, perhaps sooner, some new roads will have solar energy panels. They will store energy under 32 road and some cars will be able to use it.
However, you 33 (probable) won’t ever drive a “snail car”, even if you’re under 20 today. This, perhaps, is the car of the year 2100, the car that your grandchildren will maybe drive.
Driving will be nice in the 34 (22) century! No pollution, no traffic jams, no stress. Scientists have lots of ideas about the cars of the future. It will be 35 (interest) to see what ideas they come up with many years from now.
