【解析】

文章大意：埃里克喜欢思考未来，他认为将来会有一种小车出现在大街上，这种小车像自行车一样小，只能载两人，很容易开，就像骑自行车一样。开这种小车可以减少空气污染，节省占地空间，节省燃料，价格也便宜，它每小时只能跑65公里，所以开起来很安全，但不适合跑长途。

1.翻译题。要求将句子“People will like this kind of small cars better than the big ones.”翻译成汉语。主语“people”人们；“will like”将喜欢；“this kind of”这种；“small cars”小汽车；“better”更好的；“than”比；“the big ones”那些大型汽车，ones指代前面的cars；故答案为：比起那些大型汽车来，人们将更喜欢这种小汽车。

2.要求在②处填入一个恰当的连接词。The car is as small as a bike, ②___it can carry two people in it.句意：这种汽车和自行车一样小，___它能载两个人，由句意可知前后两句表示转折关系，所以应填but“但是”，故答案为：but。

3.翻译题。要求将句子“甚至孩子和老人都能驾驶着它们去学校或公园。”翻译成英语。“甚至”even；“孩子和老人”children and old people；“能、能够”can；“开着它们去学校” drive them to school；“或者”用连词or；“公园”表示泛指用parks；故答案为：Even children and old people can drive them to school or parks.

4.要求在“Driving will be safer ________ these cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour.”的空白处填入一个恰当的词，使它与“These cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour, so driving will be safer.

”意思相同。句意“这些汽车每小时只能行驶65公里，所以开车会更安全。”在英语中because和so不能同时出现，但含有它们两个的句子可以互换，故答案为：because。

5.根据句意：未来的汽车在周围的城市观光是好的，但是_______。由but可知前后句表示的转折关系，结合选项，可知B选项“它们对于长途旅行是没有用的。”符合题意，故答案选B。
