【1】考查介詞。在芬蘭首都赫爾辛基的公共道路上，有兩輛自動(dòng)駕駛的公共汽車(chē)已經(jīng)上路，這是同類(lèi)車(chē)中的第一次。根據(jù)句意可知，此處表示所屬關(guān)系，用of表示。故填of.

【3】考查句子時(shí)態(tài)。芬蘭最近成為了最高的自動(dòng)技術(shù)研發(fā)和測(cè)試的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。根據(jù)句中從句的時(shí)態(tài)可知此處應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在時(shí)，并結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。故填has become.

【4】考查句子時(shí)態(tài)。句意：在許多其他公司遇到的障礙，以及在美國(guó)和歐洲測(cè)試無(wú)人駕駛汽車(chē)的研究小組已經(jīng)被移除。根據(jù)句意可知，該句應(yīng)該用一般過(guò)去時(shí)，meet過(guò)去式為met.故填met.

【5】考查副詞。句意：操作這樣一個(gè)系統(tǒng)已經(jīng)被證明是一個(gè)真正困難的挑戰(zhàn)。該處修飾后面的形容詞difficult，應(yīng)該用副詞修飾形容詞。故填truly.

【7】考查現(xiàn)在分詞。句意：公共汽車(chē)的最高時(shí)速為40公里，但將以每小時(shí)10公里的速度行駛，因此在上下班高峰期將會(huì)是緩慢行駛的車(chē)輛。此處是結(jié)果狀語(yǔ)，lead與其邏輯主語(yǔ)（句子主句）之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在分詞做狀語(yǔ)。故填leading.

【8】考查名詞。句意：公共汽車(chē)的最高時(shí)速為40公里，但將以每小時(shí)10公里的速度行駛，因此在上下班高峰期將會(huì)是緩慢行駛的車(chē)輛。此處表示具體的高峰期，hour是可數(shù)名詞，應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填hours.

【9】考查副詞。句意：兩年前，由于成本和乘客數(shù)量的減少，智能的公共汽車(chē)服務(wù)Kutsuplus被關(guān)閉了。Ago用于一般過(guò)去時(shí)，before/earlier用于完成時(shí)，根據(jù)句子時(shí)態(tài)had done，此處表示的兩年前應(yīng)該用before/earlier.故填before/earlier.

【10】考查it。句意：人們預(yù)計(jì)，當(dāng)現(xiàn)有的人力交通工具在政府資金中被證明效率低下時(shí)，小型自動(dòng)巴士可能會(huì)產(chǎn)生影響。句中設(shè)空處應(yīng)該是形式主語(yǔ)，真正的主語(yǔ)是that從句，英語(yǔ)中用it做形式主語(yǔ)。故填it.
