【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] Would you trust a robot to park your car? The question will confront New Yorkers in February as the city's first robotic parking opens in Chinatown. The technology has been successfully applied overseas, but the only other public robotic garage in the United States has been troublesome, dropping vehicles and trapping cars because of technical problems. Nonetheless, the developers of the Chinatown garage are confident with the technology and are counting on it to squeeze 67 cars in an apartment-building basement that would otherwise fit only 24, accomplished by removing a maneuver space normally required. A human-shaped robot won't be stepping into your car to drive it. Rather, the garage itself does the parking. The driver stops the car on a flat platform and gets out. The platform is lowered into the garage, and it is then transported to a vacant parking space by a computer-controlled device similar to an elevator that also runs sideways. There is no human supervision, but an attendant will be on hand to accept cash and explain the system to new users. Parking rates will be attractive, about $400 monthly or $25 per day, according to Ari Milstein, the director of planning for Automation Parking Systems, which is the US subsidiary of a German company. This company has built automated garages in several countries overseas and in the United States for residents of a Washington, D.C. apartment building. What do we learn about robotic parking in the US so far? [解析] 细节推断题。短文一开始提到，海外已经成功运用了机器人停车技术，但是在美国仅有的另一家采用该技术的停车场却是问题不断。由此判断，此项技术在美国并不一直是成功的。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] What advantage does robotic parking have according to its developers? [解析] 细节辨认题。短文中有讲到，开发者对此项技术十分有信心，并且指望这项技术将67辆车塞进原本只能容纳24辆车的公寓楼的地下室。由此可以推断出来，该技术的优势是有助于提高停车场的容纳力。

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] What does the attendant do in the automated garage? [解析] 事实细节题。短文中提到，服务生的职责是收取现金，并且向新用户解释怎样使用该系统。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文] What does the company say about the parking rates? [解析] 细节推断题。短文最后提到，这个停车场的收费标准是每月400美元或者是每天25美元。由此可以推断出来，按月缴费是可以享有折扣的。
