【4】A

【5】G

【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了汽車行業(yè)對美國的重要性，但是汽車也給美國帶來了很多問題，如污染和對健康的威脅。

【1】F 根據(jù)前面一句One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas.可知有六分之一的美國人的工作是與汽車有關(guān)的。也就是說汽車和美國人的生活息息相關(guān)，沒有汽車美國人就無法生活了。故F正確。

【2】C 根據(jù)下句The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.可知雖然汽車給美國人的生活帶來了很多好處，同時也帶來了污染和對健康的危害。故C項“人們也意識到由汽車所導(dǎo)致的嚴重問題”符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【3】D 根據(jù)下一段第一句Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else.可知這兩段都在敘述解決汽車帶來的問題的方法。與another相對應(yīng)的是one。故D項符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【4】A 根據(jù)前面一句Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else.另外一個方法就是找到別的東西代替汽車發(fā)動機， A項：發(fā)明家正在研究蒸汽汽車和電動汽車。所以A符合上下文串聯(lián)。

【5】G 根據(jù)上句A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down.如果汽車工廠倒閉那么很多人都會失業(yè)。這樣一來的問題更嚴重，故G項：與失業(yè)相比較空氣污染問題就不那么重要了。符合上下文語境。
