（2023上·四川成都·高三统考期中）Work at Mcity 2.0, an NSF-powered facility, could bring autonomous vehicles (AVs) safely into mainstream use.
Advances in autonomous vehicles, are bringing driver-less cars closer to public use. But the number of drivers in the U. S. that have concerns about the safety of those vehicles jumped from 55% in 2022 to 68% in 2023, according to a survey. The high costs and time required to test vehicles in a natural setting are a major challenge. Previous approaches usually test AVs through a combination of software simulation (模拟器), closed-track tests and on-road testing. Proving the safety performance of AVs at the level of human drivers will take hundreds of millions of miles of testing and the number of miles needed in a real driving environment can reach the hundreds of billions.
First-of-its-kind research at Mcity 2.0, a University of Michigan vehicle testing facility offers insight about solving this problem by using artificial intelligence (AI) to train vehicles.
Mcity 2.0
This approach was made possible with new testing abilities at Mcity 2.0. A $5 million fund was used to expand the facility’s original proving ground by combining the physical test track with a software simulation environment, creating the first cloud-based expanded reality facility for testing AVs. This enables broader participation by providing easier access to first-class groundwork for the research community, especially those with less resources from under served communities.
The Mcity 2.0 expanded reality test-bed combines three components: a physical test facility, a flexibility data center that collects and shares near-real-time traffic information from twenty-one crossroads and an expanded naturalistic driving simulator that mixes real and virtual (虚拟的) vehicles. Researchers can remotely construct and control the test facility groundwork with traffic lights, crosswalk buttons, rail-crossing arms and more, and build testing circumstances using a web-based life-like user interface (界面).
The findings also open the door to testing and training with other safety-critical systems, such as medical robots and aerospace systems, researchers said.
22．What can be inferred from the 2nd paragraph
A．The number of driver-less cars is on an increase.
B．The real driving environment isn’t safe enough.
C．It takes too much to get driver-less cars to use.
D．It costs higher to train a driver-less car driver.
23．What does the Mcity 2.0 test-bed include
A．An expanded real driving simulator. B．A web-based life-like user interface.
C．The first-class research communities. D．The ideas from University of Michigan.
24．In which part on a website can you most probably read this passage
A．Funding and Awarding. B．News and events.
C．Engineering and Computing. D．Science Matters.
25．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Mcity 2.0, an NSF-powered Facility
B．AI Applied to Increase the AVs Testing
C．An Approach to Testing Safety Systems
D．The Challenges of the Autonomous Vehicles
（2023上·天津·高三天津一中校考阶段练习）Téa Obreht’s Favorite Novels
Te a Obreht’s new novel, Inland, tells the stories of an outlaw crossing the American West and a homesteader awaiting the return of her husband. Below, she recommends other novels shaped by place.
The Meadow
James Galvin (1992).
Galvin narrows his novel’s focus to a river in south-eastern Wyoming, the site of three generations’ struggle and achievements. “I often find myself reading each sentence twice, just to enjoy the unexpected twists of Galvin’s prose (散文). ”
What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours
Helen Oyeyemi (2016).
Everything about this story collection delights and puzzles the soul, in a way of experiencing the terrifying fairy tale for the first time. Each story feels like working around you in a kind of harmony you can’t even begin to comprehend until the final line.
Orange World
Karen Russell (2019).
“Every new book of Russell’s instantly takes its previous book’s place as my favorite.” Place, in each of these time-jumping, world-warping stories — which unfold a map of place both real and imagined — provides physical, social, and emotional pressures on both character and reader.
The Bluest Eye
Toni Morrison (1970).
“Morrison’s novel remains my favorite, possibly owing to the particular feelings produced by its place and personhood, and its suggestion that how you experience the world is governed by age, race, and whether or not one grows up loved.”

B．The reader feels their pressures taken off when they read it.
C．Te a always likes Karen’s new book better than her previous one.

（2023上·四川成都·高三统考期中）Work at Mcity 2.0, an NSF-powered facility, could bring autonomous vehicles (AVs) safely into mainstream use.
Advances in autonomous vehicles, are bringing driver-less cars closer to public use. But the number of drivers in the U. S. that have concerns about the safety of those vehicles jumped from 55% in 2022 to 68% in 2023, according to a survey. The high costs and time required to test vehicles in a natural setting are a major challenge. Previous approaches usually test AVs through a combination of software simulation (模拟器), closed-track tests and on-road testing. Proving the safety performance of AVs at the level of human drivers will take hundreds of millions of miles of testing and the number of miles needed in a real driving environment can reach the hundreds of billions.
First-of-its-kind research at Mcity 2.0, a University of Michigan vehicle testing facility offers insight about solving this problem by using artificial intelligence (AI) to train vehicles.
Mcity 2.0
This approach was made possible with new testing abilities at Mcity 2.0. A $5 million fund was used to expand the facility’s original proving ground by combining the physical test track with a software simulation environment, creating the first cloud-based expanded reality facility for testing AVs. This enables broader participation by providing easier access to first-class groundwork for the research community, especially those with less resources from under served communities.
The Mcity 2.0 expanded reality test-bed combines three components: a physical test facility, a flexibility data center that collects and shares near-real-time traffic information from twenty-one crossroads and an expanded naturalistic driving simulator that mixes real and virtual (虚拟的) vehicles. Researchers can remotely construct and control the test facility groundwork with traffic lights, crosswalk buttons, rail-crossing arms and more, and build testing circumstances using a web-based life-like user interface (界面).
The findings also open the door to testing and training with other safety-critical systems, such as medical robots and aerospace systems, researchers said.
22．What can be inferred from the 2nd paragraph
A．The number of driver-less cars is on an increase.
B．The real driving environment isn’t safe enough.
C．It takes too much to get driver-less cars to use.
D．It costs higher to train a driver-less car driver.
23．What does the Mcity 2.0 test-bed include
A．An expanded real driving simulator. B．A web-based life-like user interface.
C．The first-class research communities. D．The ideas from University of Michigan.
24．In which part on a website can you most probably read this passage
A．Funding and Awarding. B．News and events.
C．Engineering and Computing. D．Science Matters.
25．Which can be a suitable title for the text
A．Mcity 2.0, an NSF-powered Facility
B．AI Applied to Increase the AVs Testing
C．An Approach to Testing Safety Systems
D．The Challenges of the Autonomous Vehicles
（2023上·天津·高三天津一中校考阶段练习）Téa Obreht’s Favorite Novels
Te a Obreht’s new novel, Inland, tells the stories of an outlaw crossing the American West and a homesteader awaiting the return of her husband. Below, she recommends other novels shaped by place.
The Meadow
James Galvin (1992).
Galvin narrows his novel’s focus to a river in south-eastern Wyoming, the site of three generations’ struggle and achievements. “I often find myself reading each sentence twice, just to enjoy the unexpected twists of Galvin’s prose (散文). ”
What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours
Helen Oyeyemi (2016).

Orange World
Karen Russell (2019).
“Every new book of Russell’s instantly takes its previous book’s place as my favorite.” Place, in each of these time-jumping, world-warping stories — which unfold a map of place both real and imagined — provides physical, social, and emotional pressures on both character and reader.
The Bluest Eye
Toni Morrison (1970).
