　　【解析】

　　51. What does the author say about car advertisements?

　　B. 根据题干car advertisements 定位到原文第一段第三句。原文：There is something almost delightful in the detachment from reality of advertisements showing mass-produced cars, marketed as symbols of individuality and of freedom when most of their lives will be spent making short journeys on choked roads.提到了广告中大量生产的汽车被标榜为个性和自由的象征，而他们生命中的大部分时间都将在堵塞的道路上。说明广告中汽车式是自由的和现实中是相反的，这个说法和选项[B] They present a false picture of the autonomy cars provide.为同义替换选项。

　　52. What does the author imply about the various gadgets on cars?

　　C. 根据题干gadgets on cars定位到原文第二段第一句，其中提到the most useful gadgets on a modern car are those which work when you’re going very slow, 走的慢对应到堵车即current traffic condition. 而其他选项与定位句无关。因此选择选项[C] Only some can be put to use under current traffic conditions.

　　53. What does the author say about the use of navigation apps?

　　A. 根据题干use of navigation apps定位回到原文第三段第一句。The problems comes when everyone is using a navigation app… 本句说出每个人都使用导航的时候就会有问题。本段第三句指出了这个问题具体是什么：traffic jams simply spread onto the side roads that seem to offer a way round them(交通堵塞只是蔓延到似乎提供了一条绕过它们的道路的岔道上)，选项[A] It is likely to create traffic jams in other places.和此问题内容一致。

　　54. What does the author say about technology?

　　B.根据题干technology定位回到原文第四段第二句。原文信息为The first is that the promises of technology will never be realised as fully as we hope和选项[B] It seldom delivers all the benefits as promised.说法一致且本句为作者所言，故为正确选项。

　　55.What key message does the author try to convey in the passage?

　　C. 本文第一段讲汽车实际不自由，第二段讲车上的小器件，第三段讲了导航系统的问题，第四段说出了新型交通堵塞的启示，第五段讲了无人汽车未来相同的境遇，可见文章全部都在围绕科技对交通的影响进行讲述，而在最后一段，最后一句对全文进行了总结What traffic teaches us is that reckless and uncontrolled change is as likely to harm us as it is to benefit us, and that thoughtful regulation is necessary for a better future. 即深思熟虑的监管对于一个更好的未来是必要的。刚好对应到选项 [C] Technological innovation should be properly regulated. (应合理规范技术创新)。
