They “see” and “behave” appropriately through 2.various/varied(vary) hardware and deep-learning AI.First，cameras as well as sensors capture a variety of data from the external environment.Then the data 3.is sent(send) to the AI system so that it is analyzed and the car can “see” 4.its(it) surroundings and determine its position.Meanwhile，the AI system identifies patterns from the data and learns from them.Then an action plan is created 5.to instruct(instruct) the car how to “behave” in real time.This may sound perfect in theory,6.but in reality technological barriers in the development of self-driving cars exist,7.which remain to be overcome.The ethical responses self-driving cars would make in specific 8.circumstances(circumstance) are another aspect that needs careful 9.consideration(consider)．Besides，the legal situations that the autonomous vehicle industry is confronted with have sparked debates.10.Despite all the challenges，it is certain that self-driving cars will form a big part of our future. Ⅰ.补句子　析结构 1．The car responds immediately(immediate)，easing smoothly(smooth) into the busy traffic and avoiding obstacles(obstacle) on the road.(P30，Para.1) 结构分析：此句话为简单句。easing...和avoiding...为现在分词短语作伴随状语。 汉语翻译：汽车立即响应，平稳驶入繁忙的车流，避开路上的障碍。 2．Once the data is sent(send) to the AI system，the “brain” of the self-driving car，it is analysed and put together like a puzzle so that the car can “see” its surroundings(surrounding) and determine its position.(P30，Para.2) 结构分析：此句话为主从复合句。Once引导条件状语从句，so that引导结果状语从句。 汉语翻译：数据一旦发送到人工智能系统，即自动驾驶汽车的“大脑”，立即被分析并像拼图一样被拼凑起来，于是汽车就能“看到”周围的环境并确定自身方位。 3．Since it is unreasonable(reasonable) for the database to include every possible object in every possible condition ahead of time，the system might not recognize everything on the road.(P31，Para.3) 结构分析：此句话为主从复合句。Since引导原因状语从句，it为形式主语，真正的主语是to include every possible object in every possible condition ahead of time。 汉语翻译：既然数据库将每种可能发生的情况下的每个可能存在的物体都预先包含是不合理的，系统就无法识别路上所有的东西。 4．Another aspect that needs careful consideration(consider) is the ethical responses self-driving cars would make in specific circumstances.(P31，Para.4) 结构分析：此句话为主从复合句。that引导定语从句，self-driving cars would make...circumstances是省略了that/which的定语从句。 汉语翻译：另一个需要仔细斟酌的方面是自动驾驶汽车在特定情况下的伦理反应。 5．Besides such ethical concerns，the legal situations the autonomous vehicle industry is likely to be confronted with have fuelled heated(heat) debates.(P31，Para.5) 结构分析：此句话为主从复合句。the autonomous vehicle industry is likely to be confronted with为省略了that/which的定语从句。 汉语翻译：除了这些道德方面的担忧，自动驾驶汽车行业可能面临的法律处境已经引发了激烈的讨论。 6．As advances in autonomous vehicle design and technology are in progress，the final agreement on laws and regulations governing this industry remains to be seen (see)．(P31，Para.5) 结构分析：此句话为主从复合句。as引导时间状语从句，governing this industry为现在分词短语作定语。 汉语翻译：自动驾驶汽车的设计和技术正在不断进步，而管理该行业的法律法规的最终一致尚未确定。 7．Some argue that self-driving cars should be allowed to operate without human control，while others are more cautious (caution) and believe that human operation，even if limited，is still necessary.(P31，Para.6) 结构分析：此句话为并列复合句。两个that均引导宾语从句，while是并列连词，表示“然而”，even if limited为状语从句的省略。 汉语翻译：有些人主张让自动驾驶汽车在无人控制的情况下运行，而另一些人则更谨慎些，认为人工操控，即使是有限的，仍然是有必要的。 Ⅱ.研典句　学用法 There can be little doubt that...毫无疑问…… There can be little doubt that，despite all the challenges，self-driving cars will form a big part of our future.(P31，Para.6) 毫无疑问，尽管困难重重，但自动驾驶汽车将成为我们未来重要的一部分。 结构分析： 此句话为主从复合句。doubt后接that引导的同位语从句，说明doubt的具体内容。 doubt的常见句型： There is some doubt whether...……有些疑问。 There is no/little doubt that...……是毫无疑问的。 I doubt whether/if.../I have some doubt whether...我怀疑…… I don’t doubt that.../I have no doubt that...我毫不怀疑…… (1)There is no doubt that only by taking effective preventive measures can we stop the disease from spreading quickly. (2)There is some doubt whether I can inspire him to overcome those obstacles to achieve his goal. [写作佳句] (3)毫无疑问，人类活动对地球的气候造成了影响。 There is no/little doubt that human activities have had an impact on the Earth’s climate. (4)我毫不怀疑我能胜任报纸上刊登的这个职位。 I don’t doubt/I have no doubt that I am qualified for the position advertised in the newspaper. 课文重点词块默写 1．瞥一眼 glance at 2．小心缓缓地进入 ease into 3．简单地说 put simply 4．捕获各种各样的数据 capture a variety of data 5．拼在一起；组装 put together 6．加速 speed up 7．减速 slow down 8．被……激活 be activated by... 9．理论上 in theory 10．事实上 in reality 11．技术障碍 technological barriers 12．未能做某事 fail to do sth 13．在特定情况下 in specific circumstances 14．引发激烈的讨论 fuel heated debates 15．新兴的行业 the emerging industry 16．参与 be involved in 17．商定；约定 agree upon 18．正在进行中be in progress 19．留待以后去看 remain to be seen 20．注定；一定会 be bound to 单句写作(课文佳句仿写) 1．史蒂夫漫不经心地瞥了一眼站在他旁边的行人。(现在分词短语作定语) Steve glanced causally at the pedestrians standing beside him. 2．很可能是这个男人遇到了两难困境， 疑惑地皱着眉头。(it作形式主语) It was likely that the man was confronted with a dilemma，with a puzzled frown on his face. 3．转眼间，一位身着红衣的老太太走到他跟前和他说话。(定语从句) In the blink of an eye，an old lady who was dressed in red approached him to talk with him. 4．毫无疑问，这位女士的见解使他摆脱了困境，振奋了他的精神。(doubt) There was no/little doubt that the lady’s perception got him out of trouble and lifted his spirits. 组句成篇　以上句子可以加上过渡词语和其他联想内容组成一篇小短文。 Steve glanced causally at the pedestrians standing beside him.A man grabbed his attention.It was likely that the man was confronted with a dilemma，with a puzzled frown on his face.In the blink of an eye，an old lady who was dressed in red approached him to talk with him.After what seemed a long time，they waved goodbye.Judging from the expression on his face，there was no/little doubt that the lady’s perception got him out of trouble and lifted his spirits. 训练1　Welcome to the unit & Reading(A) (满分：30分) Ⅰ.阅读理解(共7题；每小题2.5分，共17.5分) A The Ragged School Museum In a nutshell In 1877 Dr Thomas Barnardo opened the Copperfield Road Free School，the largest of three ragged schools (charitable institutions that offered the poorest children a free education) in a row of three storehouses in East London.Now an underfunded，independent museum (opened in 1990)，a small exhibition offers an insight into how tough life was in East London in the late 1800s，but the highlight is one of the original classrooms where visitors can attend a lesson led by an actor in Victorian costume.The museum is in the second phase of applying for a lottery grant(彩票福利基金)，which will allow it to make vital repairs to the largest of the three storehouses，though the aim is to keep the authentic(真实的) atmosphere of the building. Getting there Easiest by car.The train station is a 30-minute walk away and trains are infrequent.A limited bus service from Liskeard drops you 20 minutes away.Parking is free right outside the gates. Opening hours 10am－6pm Monday－Saturday.Last entry: 5：30pm.Outside these times the museum runs a school programme，with 16,000 school children coming through the doors each year. Value for money? A little pricey，but the ticket is valid for a year.Entry is ￡18 adult，￡ 13 child，family tickets ￡37.60 (1 adult＋3 children) or ￡49.60 (2 adults＋3 children)． Verdict(评价) 8/10.Lots of ideas，interactive activities and friendly，knowledgeable staff.This is an authentic slice of East End history that strives (努力) to inspire children through its work. 语篇解读　这是一篇应用文。文章是一则广告，介绍了The Ragged School Museum的概况、交通方式、开放时间、票价等。 1．What does the Ragged School Museum offer to visitors? A．An option to keep its buildings in shape. B．A platform to raise money for its major repair. C．An insight into the British theatre in the 1800s. D．A chance to step back in time for a Victorian lesson. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段的“Now an underfunded，independent museum...visitors can attend a lesson led by an actor in Victorian costume.”可知，Ragged School Museum给游客提供了一个感受维多利亚时代课堂的机会。故选D。 2．How much would a couple with their three children pay for admission? A．￡37.60. B．￡49.60. C．￡57. D．￡75. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据Value for money？部分的“Entry is ￡18 adult，￡13 child，family tickets ￡37.60 (1 adult＋3 children) or ￡49.60 (2 adults＋3 children)．”可知，一对夫妻和他们的三个孩子可以购买￡49.60的家庭票。故选B。 3．What do we know about the Ragged School Museum? A．It charges parking fees. B．It is beneficial to children. C．It is only accessible by car. D．It has varied opening hours. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段的“This is an authentic slice of East End history that strives(努力) to inspire children through its work.”可知，Ragged School Museum对儿童有益。故选B。 B Dubai is the commercial capital of the oil-rich United Arab Emirates in the Persian Gulf.But officials want to turn it into the world’s “smartest” city.Earlier this year，Dubai announced plans to be the world’s first city to use self-driving taxis.In June，it placed the first robot police officer at shopping centers and places popular with visitors.Dubai police officials now say they plan to use self-driving vehicles to patrol(巡逻) city streets by the end of the year. Dubai will be the first in the world to use the O-R3 vehicle，according to the Singapore company that builds it.The company，OTSAW Digital，recently signed an agreement with the Dubai Police Force to supply the driverless robots. The vehicles look a lot like most other automobiles，but are much smaller.They are equipped with cameras，machine learning tools and 3D technology to help them operate independently.The robots automatically charge themselves when power gets low. The vehicle’s cameras can scan faces and record registration information to check for criminals and possible illegal activities.A police official said the robot can recognize people in any area.It will be used to “identify suspicious objects and follow suspects”．“We seek to increase operations with the help of technology such as robots，” said Dubai’s police chief.“We always search for the best technology to serve our police work for a safer and smarter city.” The O-R3 can communicate with computers at police centers in different locations.The patrolling robot is able to send data and video to the centers，where operators can control the vehicle remotely.The vehicles can also work together with drones (无人机) that can be launched from the back of the robot.The drones can then follow the vehicles and provide more support from the air. The CEO of OTSAW Digital，Ting Ming Ling，says the use of such vehicles is designed to help humans with their jobs，not replace them.“Eventually，robots exist to improve the quality of human lives，where men take on high value jobs while robots perform the low skilled ones，” he said. 4．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Learning tools. B．O-R3 vehicles. C．Common automobiles. D．3D cameras. 答案　B 解析　代词指代题。根据第三段内容可知，这些O-R3车辆和其他大多数汽车长得很像，但体积要小得多。它们配备了摄像头、机器学习工具和3D技术来帮助它们独立运行。由此可知，这里的“them”指代的是O-R3车辆。故选B项。 5. What’s the main purpose of using the O-R3 vehicles for patrolling? A．To take the place of the work of human beings. B．To gather information of faces in the streets. C．To help investigate criminal activities more effectively. D．To keep an eye on people’s behaviors in the city. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据文章第四段第三句可知，O-R3将被用于鉴别可疑目标和追踪嫌疑人，由此可推知，使用O-R3来巡逻是为了更有效地调查犯罪活动。故选C项。 6．What does the drone do? A．Gather more information for O-R3 vehicle. B．Protect the vehicle from the sky. C．Show directions for the vehicle. D．Control the vehicle remotely. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第五段最后两句可知，O-R3可以从背部发射无人机，从空中提供更多支持，即无人机能为O-R3提供更多的信息。故选A项。 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Police in Dubai Have the Most Advantaged Equipment B．Robot Police Officers Are Much Smarter than Human Ones C．You Will Not See Police Officers in the Streets of Dubai D．Dubai Will Put Self-driving Police Vehicles on Streets 答案　D 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文尤其根据第一段最后一句可知，本文主要讲了迪拜将采用无人驾驶车辆来巡逻街道。故选D项。 Ⅱ.七选五(共5题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) (2024·苏州高三期中) Keep Current with Facts About Electric Cars Sales of electric vehicles (EV) grew 40 percent last year worldwide.Stateside，nearly a third of drivers want their next car to be electric. 1 Almost 100 pure-electric vehicles are set to come into the market by the end of 2024.Many manufacturers，including GM，Jeep，and Volvo，have promised to offer fully electric lineups before this decade is done. 2 Tesla’s upcoming reimagined Roadster will start at $200,000，while Tesla’s current cheapest model is $41,000.Plenty of other EVs are even more affordable.Chevy，Nissan，and Hyundai all offer models for around $30,000.When assessing the cost of an EV，keep in mind that some models will even qualify you for a federal tax credit(联邦税收抵免) of up to $7,500. 3 A typical EV owner spends between $6,000 and $10,000 less than a conventional car owner on vehicle maintenance.One reason: EVs don’t have transmissions or clutches，two of the costliest parts to repair. There are about 22,000 public charging ports nationwide，a number that is expected to be more than three times in the near future.But for most EV owners，charging at home is the way to go. 4 The average EV gets about 250 miles from a full charge，which is far less than the distance most gas-powered cars can go on a full tank.But EVs are catching up.Tesla comes the closest.Its newer version gets closer to 500. 5 BMW makes a fast-charging system that adds about 60 miles of drive time in about six minutes. A．They’ll have options. B．But electric cars are nothing new. C．Then there are the long-term savings. D．Charging technology is also improving. E．Some EVs are still eye-wateringly expensive. F．The battery is usually the entire floor of the vehicle. G．It takes longer，but you can do it overnight when electricity is cheapest. 1．答案　A 解析　根据上文“Stateside，nearly a third of drivers want their next car to be electric.”和下文“Almost 100 pure-electric vehicles are set to come into the market by the end of 2024.”可知，空处承接上文，说明消费者面临的选择更多了。故A选项“他们会有更多的选择”切题，They指代的是上文的drivers。故选A。 2．答案　E 解析　根据下文“Tesla’s upcoming reimagined Roadster will start at $200,000，while Tesla’s current cheapest model is $41,000.”可知，空处引出下文，说明某些电动汽车价格仍然很贵。E选项“一些电动汽车仍然昂贵得令人瞠目结舌”和下文呼应，故选E。 3．答案　C 解析　根据下文“A typical EV owner spends between $6,000 and $10,000 less than a conventional car owner on vehicle maintenance.”可知，此处将电动车主和传统车主的车辆维护花费对比，凸显电动汽车维护花费少。故C选项“然后还能长期省钱”呼应下文，故选C。 4．答案　G 解析　根据上文“But for most EV owners，charging at home is the way to go.”可知，空处要介绍在家充电的好处，故G选项“这会花更多的时间，但是你可以在电费最便宜的时候充电一整晚”切题。故选G。 5．答案　D 解析　根据上文“The average EV gets about 250 miles...gets closer to 500.”可知，空处承接上文，继续说明技术的进步。故D选项“充电技术也在不断改进”切题，且呼应下文BMW公司充电技术的提升。故选D。 训练2　Welcome to the unit & Reading(B) (满分：35分) Ⅰ.阅读理解(共8题；每小题2.5分，共20分) A (2024·徐州高三期中) The best advertisement for public transportation is seeing a bus whoosh past lines of cars stuck in traffic.When transit is convenient，comfortable，affordable and faster than driving，the service practically sells itself.That’s why a recent bus lane boom in Los Angeles is so welcome. Since 2019，Metro and the city’s Department of Transportation have rolled out nine new segments(路段) for a total of 40 miles of bus lanes on some of the most crowded streets with high bus ridership，such as La Brea Avenue，Venice Boulevard and Alvarado Street.The goal is to have 100 miles in place before the 2028 Olympics. The result has been faster，more reliable service for passengers—and for drivers stuck in traffic，maybe even a little bus envy.Better bus service is essential to get people to jobs，schools and opportunities，and to entice drivers out of cars to help reduce planet warming emissions. Great transformation has taken place since.Transit advocates have pressed Metro and elected officials to stop treating bus riders as an afterthought.Former Council member Mike Bonin，who also sat on Metro’s governing board，pushed for the creation of the Bus Speed and Reliability Working Group.With a clear goal—to speed up the buses—and a mandate(授权) from political leaders，staff at the two agencies were able to cut through bureaucratic barriers that often stymie(阻碍) public works projects. Bus Rapid Transit，or busways，with dedicated lanes and special stops，have faced resistance from some residents and business owners，who worry about losing car lanes or parking.The compromise is that most bus riders get the benefit of bus lanes only during rush hours，from 7 to 10 a．m.and 4 to 7 p．m.These rush-hour lanes will demonstrate the benefits of giving people fast，convenient bus service，so L．A.’s political leaders will wholeheartedly support more dedicated busways and even 24-hour bus lanes. 语篇解读　本文是一篇新闻报道。它介绍了洛杉矶安排公交车专用道的情况，强调了改善公交服务的好处。 1．What have Metro and the city’s Department of Transportation done? A．Making preparations for the 2028 Olympics. B．Demanding the buses to run 40 miles per hour. C．Arranging special bus lanes during rush hours. D．Calling on citizens to take public transportation. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Since 2019，Metro and the city’s Department of Transportation have rolled out...bus lanes on some of the most crowded streets with high bus ridership...”可知，地铁和城市交通部在交通高峰时段安排公共汽车专用车道。故选C。 2．What does the underlined word “entice” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Attract. B．Order. C．Force. D．Beg. 答案　A 解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“The result has been faster，more reliable service for passengers—and for drivers stuck in traffic，maybe even a little bus envy.”以及下文“help reduce planet warming emissions”可知，更好的公交服务引起那些被堵在路上的司机的嫉妒，从而吸引他们放弃开车，转而乘坐公交车，可推知entice意为“诱使”。故选A。 3．What led to the transformation? A．Politics. B．Public awareness. C．Economy. D．Marketing management. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，公交倡导者向地铁和民选官员施压，要求他们重视公交乘客，官员推动成立了工作组，有了来自政治领导人的授权，工作人员能够突破经常阻碍公共工程项目的官僚主义障碍，由此可推知，是政治因素导致了这个转变。故选A。 4．What does the last paragraph imply? A．Some residents resist busways. B．More car lanes or parking will be lost. C．Business owners conflict with bus riders. D．Public transportation may get more support. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。最后一段末句提到洛杉矶的政治领导人将全心全意地支持更多的公交专用道，甚至24小时公交专用道，所以是暗示了公共交通可能会得到更多支持。故选D。 B There’s a continuing controversy over whether electric vehicles should produce sounds to let the blind and other pedestrians know they’re on the scene.Some think those sounds should be standardized—like the “beep，beep，beep” of heavy machinery backing up，so you’ll think “something heavy is coming this way” when you hear it—and some think any sound will do. This is a serious subject.Plug-in hybrid cars(插电式混合动力车) and battery electric vehicles are super-quiet，and a study at the University of California，Riverside concludes that people listening to recordings on headphones can hear a regular gas car coming from 28 feet away，but a hybrid in battery mode only when it’s 7 feet away. In response，the European Union has put new rules into play: all new electric vehicle models must have a sound-producing device，which sounds like a traditional engine.Starting in 2021，all new electric vehicles of any model will need the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System or AVAS.That sound will come into play when the car is traveling backwards or when it’s traveling at less than 12 miles an hour—speeds at which cars are more likely to be mixing with pedestrians. That’s a nice start，say representatives for the blind，but more is needed.“We’re calling on the government to take this announcement further by requiring AVAS on all existing electric and hybrid vehicles and ensuring drivers have them switched on，” John Welsman，guide dog owner and Guide Dogs staff member，said in a statement. Drivers in most cases have the ability to shut off the device when needed.My guess is that they will eventually be standardized so your mind will automatically register “electric car” when you hear it.And that’s probably a good thing to reduce the mayhem (混乱) on the roads. 语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。针对安静的电动汽车可能会对行人造成危险的问题，本文对其应对措施展开了讨论。 5．How does the author show “electric cars are quiet” in paragraph 2? A．By making a classification. B．By making a comparison. C．By analyzing cause and effect. D．By setting down general rules. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段第二句可知，作者提到了一项研究，通过对比人们戴着耳机听录音时可以听到汽油车和处于电池模式的混合动力车的距离来证明电车是更安静的。故选B。 6．What can be learned about the AVAS? A．It was developed by the European Union. B．It was designed for inexperienced drivers. C．It consists of a sound-producing device and an engine. D．It warns pedestrians of the coming of an electric car. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，当汽车倒车或以低于每小时12英里的速度行驶时，这种声音就会响起以警告行人电车的到来。故选D。 7．What does John Welsman think of the new rules? A．They are too strict for drivers. B．They are too complex to follow. C．They need further improvement. D．They hardly allow for any flexibility. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段可知，John Welsman呼吁政府进一步推进这一声明，不仅要求所有现有电动汽车、混合动力汽车都配备AVAS，还要确保司机打开AVAS，可推知他认为新规仍需改进。故选C。 8．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A．Cars with a Standardized Sound-producing Device B．A New Type of Electric Car on Sale C．How to Deal with the Quiet Electric Cars D．Electric Cars and the EU 答案　C 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，针对安静的电动汽车可能会对行人造成危险的问题，本文对其应对措施展开了讨论。故选C。 Ⅱ.完形填空(共15题；每小题1分，共15分) Once there lived a farmer possessing a land along the Atlantic coast.He was always making 1 for hired hands，but no one seemed to be interested.
