The highly intricate irrigation()system,which has many detailed parts and connections, allows water to flow smoothly from the mountaintop down to the terraces,creating a beautiful picture of water-filled fields.

D Imagine a future where the streets are crowded with vehicles,but strangely quiet as no one is behind the wheel.Drivers are relaxed in the backseats,reading,working,or even sleeping while their autonomous cars move smoothly through both cities and the countryside.In this near future,self-driving cars which rely on advanced sensors,cameras,and artificial intelligence, enabling vehicles to navigate roads without human intervention,are expected to bring significant changes to road traffic. One of the main advantages of self-driving cars is improved safety.Human error is a major cause of road accidents,but self-driving cars can remove this factor by reacting more quickly and accurately in emergency situations,reducing the number of crashes and saving lives. Self-driving cars can also improve traffic flow and reduce congestion ()They can communicate with each other,refining their routes and movements based on real-time traffic data.This leads to smoother travels,fewer delays,and better employment of road resources. Moreover,self-driving technology has the potential to provide greater flexibility for people who are unable to drive due to age,disability,or other reasons,expanding their access to work, social activities,and essential services. However,the widespread adoption of self-driving cars also faces several challenges.One key issue is responsibility.Determining who is responsible in the event of an accident involving a self-driving car,whether it's the manufacturer,the software developer,or the owner,is a complex legal question that needs to be resolved. There are also concerns about job displacement,as many professions related to driving may be affected by the rise of self-driving vehicles.Additionally,cyber security and data privacy are crucial considerations,as self-driving cars collect and send large amounts of data. In conclusion,while the future of self-driving holds great promise for transforming road traffic and improving our lives,it also requires careful consideration of the associated challenges to ensure its safe and responsible integration into society. 32.What's the main idea of paragraph 1? A.The busy street scenes in the future. B.The development of AI in various industries. C.The future of road traffic with autonomous cars. D.The advanced sensors and cameras used in future vehicles. 33.How do self-driving cars improve traffic flow? A.By using AI to navigate the roads. B.By sending signals during operation C.By exchanging real-time traffic data D.By reacting quickly in emergency situations. 英语试题第5页（共8页） 34.What's the main concern of the adoption of self-driving cars? A.Who is to blame for an accident. B.Network security issues. C.Individual privacy leakage. D.The rising unemployment rate. 35.What's the author's attitude towards self-driving cars? A.Critical. B.Cautious. C.Unfavorable D.Indifferent. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项 为多余选项。 Interacting with people from diverse cultures opens new horizons and exposes you to fresh perspectives.It may initially seem scary to talk with someone who speaks a different language or follows different social customs.36 Here are some tips to help you avoid miscommunication and find common ground with anyone. 37 Different cultures have distinct ideas of personal space.Generally,it's considered impolite to get too close to someone you don't know,whether by standing,sitting,or getting in their face.Stay at arm's length-enough room for a bow or a handshake -until you get a sense of what the other person is comfortable with.

One day,when a costume ball was announced,I was excited and saw it as an opportunity to stand out.I chose a Zorro costume,aiming to appear attractive.Besides,I practiced my dance moves,anticipating the night when I could shine with grace and confidence.
