Do you dream of taking a self-driving car What do you think a self-driving car can do without a driver How might this technology change our daily travel Now, your dream can come true in Chongqing, China. In 2021, three robotaxis came into use in Chongqing. With no driver in it, the robots can run along the road by itself. The bus is 5.9 meters long and can carry 12 passengers at up to 40 km/h. It's able to identify walkers, cars and other things within 240 meters around it, so it won't run into them. After that, 14 robotaxis also came into use in Chongqing. "I only saw self-driving cars in
movies, and I never thought I could take one in real life. The car ran smoothly (平稳地). It seemed that a great driver was driving it." said Liu Jiayu. He was one of the first group of passengers who took a robotaxi in Chongqing. The robotaxi service covers more than 70 places, like schools, shopping malls and living areas. Passengers can pay for their rides by using phone apps such as Apollo Go and Baidu Maps from 7:00 am to 11:00 pm every day. The starting price of the robotaxi is 16 yuan. Then people need to pay 2.8 yuan per kilometer.Because the robotaxi runs no more than 60 kilometers per hour, it's quite safe on the road.
However, to be safer, there's still a driver in the robotaxi. Perhaps people can enjoy the fully driverless robotaxi service in the near future.
( )19. How does the writer start the passage
A. By telling stories.
B. By asking questions.
C. By listing numbers.
D. By giving examples.
( )20. What does the underlined word "identify" mean in Paragraph 2
A. recognise
B. attack
C. beat
D. carry
( )21. What can we learn about a self-driving car
A. The robobus in Chongqing can run at 50 km/h.
B. Passengers can pay for their robotaxi rides on apps.
C. Liu Jiayu was the first person who took a robotaxi.
D. The robotaxi can take people wherever they want to go.
C
The debate (争论) on "computers vs. textbooks" has been going on for
years. How much technology is enough in the classroom Should computers take the place of (取代) textbooks There is no doubt that computers are powerful tools. People add new information as soon as changes take place. Students can find the newest information for the subjects they are studying. With computers, students can develop lifelong digital skills, better preparing them for the future.However, I think textbooks must stay. People check all the facts in the textbooks carefully.Each part builds on what a student has learned before. On the Internet, however, not all the information is true or organized. With textbooks, it is easier for students to take notes. Scientists have found that taking notes by hand helps students learn more.Textbooks are also less expensive than computers. While most families have enough money for
textbooks, not all of them can buy a computer. Every student should have the chance to learn what he needs to learn. It's wrong to take away a student's right to learn just because he can't buy the puters are of great importance in education. They encourage students to learn more.However, I don't think they can take the place of textbooks. If students want to learn better, they must use textbooks. Do you agree with me
( )22. Why does writer ask two questions in paragraph 1
