(2025 · 济南模拟)You’ve probably noticed something about the car industry over the last few years, or rather, the lack of something. Buttons have disappeared from many cars. Touch screens have taken over instead. From turning on the wipers (雨刮器) to turning down the heat, all you do is tap a screen.
Touch screens are very common in new cars. According to a recent survey, nearly all (97 per cent) of new cars coming onto the market after 2023 have at least one touch screen. About 25 per cent of USA cars on the road have a screen at least 11 inches long.
There are many reasons for carmakers’ preference for touch screens. For one thing, they can save production time by putting as few wires (电线) as possible through the car. Locating most functions through a touch screen also allows them to update functions over the air. With such screens, carmakers could even make money from advertising.
But using the screen while driving requires eyes off the road and that can be very dangerous. Looking away from the road for two or more seconds doubles the possibility of an accident. According to a 2017 study, drivers were distracted (使分心) for about 40 seconds when using touch screens. USA traffic authorities said 8 per cent of all USA traffic deaths in 2021 resulted from distracted drivers.
Euro NCAP provides the public with information on the safety of new cars. It tests cars and gives them safety ratings (等级) in a five-star system. In March 2024, the Euro government published new testing rules. Under the new rules, a car won’t get top scores unless certain basic functions have their own buttons. The new rules will go into effect in 2026.
Euro NCAP doesn’t have the right to force carmakers to use buttons. But it will give no more than four stars to cars that depend too much on touch screens. Will that help stop a complete move away from buttons in cars? We have yet to find out.
5. 新考法 写作手法 How did the writer describe the use of the screens in new cars?
A. By sharing experiences.
B. By telling stories.
C. By asking questions.
D. By listing numbers.
6. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Buttons will completely disappear by 2026.
B. Carmakers may keep some buttons to meet safety standards.
C. Euro NCAP will force all carmakers to use buttons.
D. Drivers will refuse to buy cars without touch screens.
7. 语言能力 分析能力 What’s the writer’s attitude towards the future use of buttons in cars?
A. Positive.
B. Worried.
C. Uncertain.
D. Supportive.
8. 语言能力 归纳能力 What is the text mainly about?

B. How to use car buttons correctly.
C. The best car models with big screens.
D. Touch screens in cars and their safety problems.

答案：5 - 8 DBCD
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要讨论了汽车行业近年来从物理按钮转向触摸屏的趋势，分析了汽车制造商偏好触摸屏的原因，并指出其潜在的安全隐患。
5. D 解析：写作手法题。根据第二段“According to a recent survey, nearly all (97 per cent) of new cars... About 25 per cent of USA cars...”可知，作者通过列举数据说明触摸屏的普及。故选 D。
6. B 解析：判断正误题。根据第五段“In March 2024, the Euro government published new testing rules. Under the new rules, a car won't get top scores unless certain basic functions have their own buttons.”可推断，车企可能保留按钮以满足安全标准。故选 B。
7. C 解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段“We have yet to find out.”可知，作者对按钮的未来持不确定态度。故选 C。
8. D 解析：主旨大意题。本文前半部分介绍触摸屏普及现状及车企偏好（1 - 3 段）；后半部分讨论安全隐患及政策应对（4 - 6 段）。D 选项全面涵盖“触摸屏应用 + 安全问题”的双主线。故选 D。

【分析】
1. 第5题：要判断作者描述新车触摸屏使用的写作手法，需定位到文中相关段落。观察第二段内容，发现作者使用了具体的百分比数据，因此思路是通过识别文中的数据信息，确定写作手法为列数字。
2. 第6题：这是细节判断正误题，需逐一核对选项与原文内容。先找到各选项对应的原文段落，对比后排除错误选项，比如A选项与新规则要求保留按钮矛盾，C选项与Euro NCAP无强制权不符，D选项文中未提及，最终确定符合原文逻辑的选项。
3. 第7题：判断作者态度需关注文中直接表达观点的语句，文章结尾的“We have yet to find out.”表明作者对汽车按钮未来的使用情况没有明确的定论，由此确定态度为不确定。
4. 第8题：归纳主旨需梳理文章结构，前半部分介绍触摸屏的普及及车企偏好的原因，后半部分阐述其安全隐患和相关政策，找到能涵盖这两部分核心内容的选项即可。
