But in China, this is becoming real, reported China Daily. People call this kind of cars as self-driving cars (无人驾驶汽车) or robot cars. Self-driving cars was first famous in 2015. That year, Volvo, a carmaker from Sweden, tested such cars in Beijing. Later, Chinese businesses like Baidu started making self-driving cars, too. Right now, China is on its way to become the world’s largest market for self-driving cars. By 2040, China will have 12 million robot taxis, followed by the US with around 7 million. However, some people are worried about the safety of the self-driving cars. In Wuhan, Baidu’s self-driving cars had some small accidents (事故). Once, one such self-driving car stopped in front of a big box and caused a traffic accident. Another time, two self-driving cars slowed down to face each other, and did not know what to do next. The news may seem funny but in fact can be dangerous. If a robot car has a big accident, it can’t decide what to do next on its own and has to wait for someone to come and help. Also, it’s not clear who should be responsible (负有责任的) when something goes wrong — the company that owns the robot car, or the person who designed it, or both. Luckily, in December 2023, the government made a set of new rules to improve the safety of self-driving cars. More rules will come in the future. 根据短文内容，判断下列各句正（T）、误（F）。 11．In China, we can see self-driving cars or robot cars now. 12．In 2015, Volvo tested self-driving cars in Hong Kong. 13．By 2040, China will have 7 million robot taxis. 14．Some people are worried about the safety of the self-driving cars. 15．The government made a set of new rules to improve the safety of self-driving cars. 【答案】11．T 12．F 13．F 14．T 15．T 【知识点】交通方式、发明与创造、科学技术、说明文、细节理解 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国自动驾驶汽车的发展情况。 11．细节理解题。根据“But in China, this is becoming real, reported China Daily.

Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen. Why do we develop self-driving cars? Self-driving cars give us many benefits (好处). They use computers to sense (感知) the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams (堵塞) and better parking of cars. For disabled (残疾的) or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily. According to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year, more than 1.35 million people are killed on roads around the world. Many more are injured (受伤). Self-driving cars could reduce (减少) road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money, said the website TechDim. The main cause of car accidents is human error (错误). By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose focus (注意力) like humans do. But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver could. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars would struggle (费力) to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system could also get hacked (非法入侵) by someone, causing it to crash or change its destination (目的地). It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight (景象) on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen, said China Daily. 49．In which city can we find driverless taxis? 50．What benefits can self-driving cars give disabled people? 51．How many people are killed on roads around the world each year? 52．What is the main cause of car accidents? 53．What is the disadvantage of self-driving cars when something unexpected happens? 【答案】49．We can find them in Wuhan, Chongqing or Shenzhen. 50．They can help disabled people get around more easily. 51．More than 1.35 million people. 52．Human error. 53．They can’t react as fast as a human driver could. 【知识点】交通方式、科学技术、说明文 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自动驾驶汽车的优劣，以及对未来优化自动驾驶汽车的展望。 49．根据“Since August, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen.”可知，我们可以在武汉、重庆或深圳看到无人驾驶出租车。故填We can find them in Wuhan, Chongqing or Shenzhen. 50．根据“For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily.”可知，对于残疾人，自动驾驶汽车可以帮助他们更容易出行。故填They can help disabled people get around more easily. 51．根据“According to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year, more than 1.35 million people are killed on roads around the world.”可知，每年有超过135万人死于道路交通事故。故填More than 1.35 million people. 52．根据“The main cause of car accidents is human error.”可知，人为错误是汽车事故的主要原因。故填Human error. 53．根据“If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react as fast as a human driver could.”可知，如果发生了意外，自动驾驶汽车不能像人类驾驶员那样快速反应。故填They can’t react as fast as a human driver could. 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构和语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个恰当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。 Hangzhou, together with five other 54 (city) in Zhejiang, has held the 19th Asian Games 55 September 23rd to October 8th.

Self-driving may be one of the best 1 in the future. A self-driving car company in China is planning to 2 more self-driving minibus (小型巴士) for people. It shows the cars are 3 to drive by themselves most of time without a driver. The minibus has only a few seats (座位), and it can carry six people at a 4 . We can put the new self-driving buses into use to 5 the traffic. Compared with 6 cars, this kind of cars seem (似乎) to be safer, because they can tell people what to do in dangerous situations. Now, people are more 7 in the self-driving cars. It’s said that 78% of Chinese people can’t wait to see the self-driving cars running on the 8 . And 48% of Chinese people want to drive them. However, some people don’t support (支持) self-driving cars 9 they don’t think they are safe at all. When bad 10 comes, self-driving cars will not recognize (辨认) traffic lights and people. In fact, no one knows the future of the self-driving cars.

But in China, this is becoming real, reported China Daily. People call this kind of cars as self-driving cars (无人驾驶汽车) or robot cars. Self-driving cars was first famous in 2015. That year, Volvo, a carmaker from Sweden, tested such cars in Beijing. Later, Chinese businesses like Baidu started making self-driving cars, too. Right now, China is on its way to become the world’s largest market for self-driving cars. By 2040, China will have 12 million robot taxis, followed by the US with around 7 million. However, some people are worried about the safety of the self-driving cars. In Wuhan, Baidu’s self-driving cars had some small accidents (事故). Once, one such self-driving car stopped in front of a big box and caused a traffic accident. Another time, two self-driving cars slowed down to face each other, and did not know what to do next. The news may seem funny but in fact can be dangerous. If a robot car has a big accident, it can’t decide what to do next on its own and has to wait for someone to come and help. Also, it’s not clear who should be responsible (负有责任的) when something goes wrong — the company that owns the robot car, or the person who designed it, or both. Luckily, in December 2023, the government made a set of new rules to improve the safety of self-driving cars. More rules will come in the future. 根据短文内容，判断下列各句正（T）、误（F）。 11．In China, we can see self-driving cars or robot cars now. 12．In 2015, Volvo tested self-driving cars in Hong Kong. 13．By 2040, China will have 7 million robot taxis. 14．Some people are worried about the safety of the self-driving cars. 15．The government made a set of new rules to improve the safety of self-driving cars. B In the big city of Wuhan in China, something very cool is happening. Cars that can drive all by themselves are now giving people rides. That’s right! No drivers needed—just smart cars doing the work. These special cars are called self-driving cars. They use lots of little helpers like cameras and smart thinking tools (工具) to get you where you want to go. It is like having a magic car! One bright and happy day, a little girl named Mei wanted to try out these magic cars. She asked her mom, and together they went to the place where the self-driving cars wait. When they got in the car, Mei saw a screen (屏幕) that showed them the way the car would go. The car started moving, and Mei was so excited! It moved smoothly (顺利地), just like a boat floating on water. Mei looked all around and asked her mom, “How does this car know where to go without a driver?” Her mom told her that the car has special eyes that see things all around it and a super-smart brain that helps it make decisions (决定). They got to where they were going, and the car stopped safely. Mei was so happy with her magic car ride. She told all her friends at school about the car that could drive by itself. More and more people in Wuhan wanted to try these cool cars. They wanted to see the future of how cars can take them around the city without any drivers. 16．What is the main topic of the passage? A．Magic cameras. B．Self-driving cars. C．Sports. D．Traveling. 17．From the second paragraph, the underlined word “They” refers to ________. A．Little helper B．Camera C．Smart thinking tool D．Self-driving cars 18．What helps the self-driving cars to know where to go? A．A map. B．A remote control (远程控制). C．A screen. D．Special eyes and a super-smart brain. 19．How did Mei feel after taking the self-driving car?? A．Serious. B．Happy. C．Interested. D．Bored. 20．From the text, we can know that ________. A．self-driving cars stopped wrongly B．self-driving cars need drivers C．more people wanted to try the cool car D．the car moved smoothly like a fish C More and more car makers are introducing smart cars that can drive themselves. But as these cars take to the streets, we have to ask: are auto-pilot (自动领航) cars a step into a better future, or are they a step we’re not ready to take? Not long ago, cars that drive themselves were just a dream. But now, with smart car makers like XPeng, Tesla and Xiaomi, that dream is closer to reality. Supporters of auto-pilotcars say that they can make our roads much safer and make it easier to travel. Most car accidents happen because people make mistakes or get sleepy, but the computers on cars don’t get tired. Many believe that self-driving cars can also help traffic move better and give people more time to do fun things while traveling. However, even car makers admit that self-driving technology is not perfect—especially with the busy streets, traffic lights, and all other different drivers it has to deal with. People worry about the decisions smart cars would make in uncommon situations. Some think it is easier for human drivers to forget the possible danger in driving. ★ Many drivers still remember the accident in 2021, where a human driver fell asleep behind the wheel and the auto pilot made a wrong decision. What’s more, they are nervous about the personal information these cars might collect. The discussion about self-driving cars is about technology, safety, and how we’ll live in the future. We’ll keep discussing if they’re good for us. Will self-driving cars become common, or will they remind us to be careful with new technology? We’ll see what the future holds. 21．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A．The history of auto-pilot cars. B．Supporters’ opinions about auto-pilot cars. C．Auto-pilot cars are a dream come true. D．The possible danger of self-driving cars. 22．According to paragraph 3, self-driving cars might ________.

A．The technology is too expensive for most people. B．People believe in these cars too much sometimes. C．Auto-pilot technology makes drivers tired. D．Self-driving cars do not make many mistakes. 24．The underlined word “they” refers to________. A．human mistakes B．the discussions C．computers on cars D．self-driving cars 25．What’s the purpose (目的) of this passage? A．To show different opinions. B．To give useful advice. C．To stop people from mistakes. D．To tell us about new things. D Could you imagine cars driving without human drivers? Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. This August, more and more driverless taxis run on roads in many big cities in China. Why do we develop self-driving cars? Self-driving cars give us many benefits. They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams and better parking of cars. Many people cannot drive for various reasons, including age, disability, or lack of experience. Now, they can get around more easily. Driving becomes more convenient. According to a research, each year, over 1.3 million people die in car accidents around the world, and many more get hurt. Self-driving cars can reduce (减少) road accidents by 90% and save a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human mistakes. By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose attention like humans do. They can improve driving safety. But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react (反应) as fast as a human driver can. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, it will be difficult for self-driving cars to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. The computer system in the car can also get hacked (非法入侵) by someone, causing it to crash. It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common and safe sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen. 26．Which of the following is a benefit of self-driving cars according to the passage? A．They don’t need parking space. B．They can teach people how to drive. C．They allow disabled people to travel more easily. D．They cost less money to make and repair. 27．Why can self-driving cars help reduce road accidents? A．Because they can correct human mistakes while driving. B．Because their computers can predict all road accidents. C．Because computers do not have attention problems. D．Because they can see clearly even in bad weathers. 28．What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A．The weaknesses of self-driving cars. B．The benefits of having a human driver. C．How road accidents usually happen. D．How the computers in self-driving cars work. 29．What do we know from the last paragraph? A．Many countries are working together to develop self-driving cars. B．Self-driving cars need clean and safe roads to run. C．We can already see self-driving cars everywhere in China. D．China is trying to make self-driving cars safer and more common. E Since August, driverless taxis can run on roads in cities including Wuhan, Chongqing, Shenzhen and Beijing as well as six more cities is putting driverless taxi to test. China is taking the lead in developing and turning self-driving technology (科技) into reality, sad China Daily. __________________________ Self-driving cars give us many benefits (好处).

F Will there be a time when there are no car accidents (事故) and we can just sit back and our cars will drive themselves? Some people say “yes”. They think that it will happen in the future, but in fact it may happen earlier than we think. The driverless car, also known as the self-driving car, is a kind of car that can move from one place to another without the help of a driver. Driverless cars will just need the users to write the name of the place, and then the cars will take the users there without a driver. The cars will run on solar power (太阳能) in the daytime and ethanol fuel (乙醇燃料) at night. They will bring less pollution (污染) to the environment. Anyone who is over sixteen years old and knows how to use a computer will be able to drive the cars. The young users are able to drive driverless cars on highways as well as common roads. Older people who don’t know how to drive on their own are also users of driverless cars. Drunken (喝醉的) people will be able to use the driverless car to come back home because they won’t “drive” the car. What’s more, car insurance (保险) will become obsolete because there will be no more car accidents. GPS will be the most important part in driverless cars: 35．What do we know about driverless cars?
