After years of hearing drivers complain about scratches on their cars, Japan’s Nissan Moto

After years of hearing drivers complain about scratches on their cars, Japan’s Nissan Motor Company has officially announced the next big thing— a paint that not only resists scratches and scrapes, but actually repairs itself within a few days.
The new material, developed by Nippon Paint Company, contains an elastic rubbery-like resin (弹性树脂) that is able to heal minor marks caused by car wash equipment, parking lot encounters, road debris (石头碎片) or even on-purpose destruction.
The automaker admits its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage, but adds this is the only paint like it in the world, and tests prove it works.
Minor scratches, the most common type, are said to slowly fade over about a week. And once they’re gone, there is no trace that they were ever there.
The special paint is said to last for at least three years after it is first applied, but there is no word yet on whether more can be added after that period.
Nissan claims car washes are the worst offenders for this type of damage, accounting for at least 80 percent of all incidents.
But the complete auto-healing won’t come without scratching your wallet. The vehicle maker notes the special paint adds about $100 US to the price of a car.
It plans to use its new chemical mixture only on its X-Trail SUVs in Japan for now, as it looks for a more widespread presentation. And while plans to offer the feature overseas haven’t been made yet, if it’s a hit there, you can be almost sure market forces will drive it to these shores, as well.

(答案→)D 解析：【小题1】从最后一段第二句“And while plans to offer the feature overseas haven’t been made yet, …”可知，D项是正确的。根据第一段和最后一段可排除A项。由第三段的this is the only paint like it in the world可知，它还没有同类产品，所以可否定B项。选项C在文中没有作出说明。【小题2】从文中第四段可找到答案。文中第五段说这种漆经过三年后是否还可以上漆并没有说明，所以A项被排除。B选项叙述错误，不是漆消退，而应是刮痕消退。D项在文中没有被提到。【小题3】第一段提到日本的Nissan汽车公司宣布下一个项目就是使用这种漆，所以最后这一段应是计划把这种漆用在这个公司的某款汽车上，即A项是正确的。【小题4】由第二段的第一句话可推断出B项是正确的。由第二段的第一句可知A项错误。由第一段的最后一句和第四段的第一句可知刮痕并不是马上消失的，所以C项错误。从最后一段as it looks for a more widespread presentation可知，这种漆并没有推广开，所以D项错误。
