四、阅读单选
A
Have you ever seen a car without a driver It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near panies like Google and Tesla are testing these cars, and the technology is there—they just need to see if they’re value for money and run final tests to check they can run alongside human-driven cars on the road.
So how do they work The cars have sensors (传感器) all around which can detect other cars in the road. Sensors on the wheels also help when parking, so the car knows how far it is from other cars. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems (卫星导航系统) are used so the car knows how to get you where you need to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out the best route.
Sound like great ideas Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while driving would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn’t worry about remembering directions to where you’re going. They would also drive more safely than people—they don’t get distracted (分心) by music or friends, they would obey the speed limit and they have quicker reactions (反应) when they are in danger situation.
However, there are many drawbacks (缺点) of driverless puters would have difficulties making ethical (道德的) decisions: if a child runs into the road, will the computer choose to hit the child or make a turn and it may kill the car’s passengers Moreover, people will lose the fun of driving. There are more things people have to think about—should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves Or would there need to be an adult with a driving license in the car at all times
Although driverless cars mean that no one needs a driving license, saving money for everyone, many people would be put out of a job by this invention. Bus, taxi, and train drivers may lose their jobs.
I’m not sure I’d want a driverless car—but it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and commonplace on our roads.
31.The second paragraph is about ________.
A.why driverless cars are popular
B.how driverless cars work on the road
C.when people can use driverless cars
D.which services the driverless cars can provide
32.The writer thinks that driverless cars can ________.
A.be safer and react quicker than human drivers
B.know directions because they can look up the maps while driving
C.type in the address with the help of sensors and cameras
D.make ethical decision with the help of computers
33.What is the writer’s opinion on the driverless cars ________
A.Driverless cars are now popular on the road.
B.The writer couldn’t have the car because it is too expensive.
C.The writer suggests everyone should have this kind of car.
D.They have a bright future although they have some drawbacks.
34.What is the best title for the passage ________
A.Driverless cars: an affordable invention
B.Driverless cars: a social improvement
C.Driverless cars: a great or problematic invention
D.Driverless cars: the value of this invention
B
Nowadays traffic jam can happen anywhere. People can get very anxious if they are in traffic jam. For many years people have tried to invent a car that can fly. If a person is driving a flying car, the traffic jam would be far below him.
Many companies around the world are developing flying cars. They hope that in the future, flying cars will be useful for short trips like taxis in or out of cities. These cars could save time in emergencies (突发事件) and help reach places that can’t be reached by road. They also hope to save the space on the ground. Flying cars won’t use runways, because they are able to take off and land by going straight up and straight down.
Last September, SkyDrive, a Japanese company, showed off its new flying car SD-03. With a pilot onboard, the car was flown around for four minutes.
Flying cars need strong power to fly in the sky freely like the airplanes. SkyDrive designed the SD-03 powered by batteries. There are eight motors (发动机) lifting it straight off the ground. The design also produces less pollution.
Although the SD-03’s test flight was successful, we may not see flying cars in our daily life anytime soon. There are still many challenges in the way. Safety is a big problem. What happens when a motor fails If a flying car is crossing a city, an accident could hurt not just the people in the car but also people on the ground. That’s why the SD-03 has eight motors—some are backups (备用物). Flying cars are also very expensive. The SD-03, for example, is expected to sell for up to $500,000.
Yet people who believe in flying cars point out that cars and airplanes faced lots of challenges at first, too. Over time, many of their biggest problems were solved. Tomohiro Fukuzawa, who leads SkyDrive, hopes that by 2050, people will have been able to fly anywhere inside of Tokyo in ten minutes or less.
35.According to the passage, which is NOT one of the advantages of flying cars
A.They can save time in emergencies.
B.They can save the space on the ground.
C.They can be useful for short and long trips.
D.They can reach places that can’t be reached by road.
36.SD-03 is mentioned in the passage mainly to ________.
A.introduce a famous Japanese company
B.praise the fast development of flying cars
C.prove the leadership of Tomohiro Fukuzawa
D.show a new invention of flying cars in Japan
37.Which of the following statements is FALSE
A.People may find it hard to afford a flying car like SD-03.
B.SD-03 designed by SkyDrive managed to work for a while.
C.SD-03 was powered by batteries, which is good for the environment.
D.SD-03 was a successful example and we have the chance to see it in real life soon.
38.The SD-03 has eight motors in order to ________.
A.fly for a longer distance B.carry more people in the car
C.get ready for dangerous situations D.carry more backups in the car
39.We can infer from the passage that ________ in 30 years because of flying cars.
A.the sky might become busier and busier
B.more accidents may happen on the streets
C.there may be no cars driving on the streets
D.people can fly anywhere in Japan in ten minutes

Everyone has his own way of going to school. Such as riding a bike, taking a car, taking a bus or walking. I go to school by bike. Because I think cycling is good for health. However, we should pay attention to traffic safety on the way to school. First of all, we should keep to the right when we walk or ride a bike. Secondly, we can’t run the red light. When crossing the traffic lights, we should look left and right.
I hope everyone goes to school safely.
