Recently, China has made a big 1 toward self-driving technology. Driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing, Shenzhen and so on. Why do we invent self-driving cars? They give us many benefits. They use computers to sense (感知) the things 2 them and make better use of space. This means 3 traffic jams (堵塞) and better parking of cars. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more 4 . 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. Self-driving cars could 5 road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money according to the website TechDim. The main cause of car accidents is human mistakes. By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make 6 decisions or lose focus (注意力) like humans do. It could also help 7 unskilled driving, overtaking, drunk driving and so on. But self-driving cars aren’t 8 . If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react as fast as a human driver could. 9 , during weather events like heavy snow, it’s hard for self-driving cars to see the lines on the road. It might lead to an accident. What’s more, road conditions in China are complicated (复杂的). So there would be a lot of 10 if self-driving cars were used in such a large country. 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. 1．A．trade B．speech C．step D．prize 2．A．around B．opposite C．behind D．among 3．A．more B．worse C．heavier D．fewer 4．A．closely B．easily C．luckily D．healthily 5．A．cause B．bring C．reduce D．produce 6．A．poor B．special C．proper D．wise 7．A．save B．avoid C．hide D．catch 8．A．useful B．meaningful C．perfect D．necessary 9．A．Anyway B．Also C．However D．Otherwise 10．A．tasks B．experience C．pollution D．risks 【答案】 1．C 2．A 3．D 4．B 5．C 6．A 7．B 8．C 9．B 10．D 【导语】本文探讨了中国在自动驾驶技术方面取得的进展，介绍了自动驾驶汽车的诸多好处，同时也指出了其存在的不足。 1．句意：最近，中国在自动驾驶技术方面迈出了一大步。 trade贸易；speech演讲；step步、步骤；prize奖品。根据“Driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing, Shenzhen and so on.”可知，中国在自动驾驶技术上有实际进展，“made a big step toward...”表示“向……迈出一大步”，符合语境，故选C。 2．句意：它们使用计算机感知周围的事物，更好地利用空间。 around在……周围；opposite在……对面；behind在……后面；among在……中间（三者及以上）。计算机感知的应是汽车周围的事物，“around them”符合语义，故选A。 3．句意：这意味着更少的交通堵塞和更好的汽车停放。 more更多；worse更糟；heavier更重；fewer更少（修饰可数名词）。由“make better use of space”可知，能更好利用空间，所以交通堵塞会“更少”，“traffic jams”是可数名词复数，用“fewer”，故选D。 4．句意：对于残障或失明的人来说，自动驾驶汽车也能帮助他们更轻松地出行。 closely紧密地；easily容易地；luckily幸运地；healthily健康地。自动驾驶汽车能为残障或失明人士提供便利，让他们出行更“容易”，故选B。 5．句意：据TechDim网站称，自动驾驶汽车可以将道路事故减少90%，并为政府节省大量资金。 cause导致；bring带来；reduce减少；produce产生。根据“The main cause of car accidents is human mistakes.

It makes our lives easier and more interesting. Last month, I visited a really big and interesting science 1 . There were lots of cool things at the fair. Among all of them, the computers 2 caught my eye. They looked so modern and amazing! Computers are truly 3 machines. They are not too big, 4 we can put them on our desks. We can do many things on them. For example, we can study on computers. We can 5 interesting e-books from the internet to read. These e-books are full of colourful pictures and fun stories. Also, we can 6 our friends who are far away by sending them messages. Computers 7 problems that stopped us from getting information quickly in the past.

In ancient China, earthquakes happened often. 4 , people didn’t know how to deal with the problem. When Zhang Heng saw that many people were hurt, he decided to 5 something to help people predict (预测) the disaster. He spent lots of time researching earthquakes. He carefully studied and 6 historical records of earthquake events, and finally he developed the Houfeng Seismograph. Although the seismograph wasn’t 7 at first, it brought great help to people’s lives. It helped people detect (发现) earthquakes early. The story of Zhang Heng not only shows the importance of creativity, but also has 8 many scientists to work hard for science. Zhang Heng’s deep respect for nature and truth in science was one of his important 9 .

Lin Shao, a student from Shanghai, invented an app called Health Helper. His app was very useful. It could 3 people when and how to do exercise every day. By using this app, people could know their running routes (路线) as well as their condition. Zhang Jichen, a student from Beijing, used to be troubled by the bad 4 . So he invented an app that could calculate PM2.5 5 . To make people breathe the fresh air, this app gives not only a lot of information about the weather but also some 6 on outdoor activities. “It is 7 to make an app. You have to be really careful and 8 . Sometimes you have to 9 again and again.

For children unable to hear, it can be 4 to understand movies with only subtitles (字幕). “Is there anything I can do for them?” thought Mariella. There was, indeed. 5 the help of her parents and teachers, Mariella created an app called SignUp. It 6 an ASL interpreter to a corner of the screen during the playing of a movie. People with poor or no hearing can watch the movie and the interpreter at the 7 time. This helps them better enjoy the movie. In the beginning, Mariella funded (注资) the project all by 8 . She made some money by walking dogs for her neighbors. She put that money into her project. But later she needed more money for ASL interpreters. So she asked people to 9 money on the Internet.

People call the Taklamakan Desert the “sea of death”. It has 3 moving sand dunes (沙丘). Sandstorms from it 4 bad for the weather, farming, and people’s health. To fix this problem, our country started building the green belt in 1978. It 5 more than 40 years to finish. Building the green belt was difficult.

One day, he read a book on how to turn wind into electricity with a windmill (风车). “That is 3 !” Although he didn’t know what a windmill was, he decided to give it a try. First he had to 4 all the materials (材料). He dug through the rubbish with his cousin in the villages nearby and kept doing this 5 he got what he wanted. Then he started to make the windmill. After his farm work finished in the fields, he studied the materials hard, staying late till midnight. Finally, he realized his goal after many 6 . He fixed the windmill on the top of a wood tower to catch wind. The villagers came to look. He used a long wire (金属丝) to 7 a bulb to the windmill. The wind blew and the windmill 8 . To their surprise, the bulb lit up. The villagers cheered. William threw his hands in the air and jumped 9 . To produce more energy, he built another windmill for his village.

In the long history of humans, books have played an important part in spreading knowledge, and even today, the situation is 4 the same. Each year, millions of books are published (出版) in the world. Knowledge 5 our lives. People can make a difference by reading books. If a knowledgeable person wants to express some new ideas, he or she will probably choose to write a book. Books provide us with 6 ideas. And we make our own decisions to choose any one that fits 7 . Or you may choose none of them, just like me, not following books' 8 . Books are thought of as teachers without 9 . But how are books different from our real teachers?
