Self-driving cars like RoboTaxi in Wuhan have come to our streets! ②Self-driving cars are like magic. They can drive all by themselves. Do you know how these cars work? Take a look at some of the main technologies (科技) behind them! ③Computer vision (计算机视觉): The self-driving car has a computer and some cameras. The computer looks at all the pictures from the cameras. It then remembers road signs, traffic lights, people and other cars in the photos. ④Sensor fusion (传感器融合): The car gets information from its cameras and other sensors, such as the lidar. Sensor fusion uses all the information to better understand the environment around the car. ⑤Simultaneous localization and mapping (即时定位与地图建构): SLAM draws a detailed map of the environment. At the same time, it finds out where the car is on the map. SLAM uses things like GPS and lidar to do this. ⑥Path choosing and decision making (路径规划与决策): In a maze game, you need to find out the way to reach the end. You have to be careful not to hit any obstacles (障碍) or get lost. The car’s computer does the same thing. The computer thinks about traffic rules and obstacles. It even guesses what other road users may do. Then, the computer chooses the safest and fastest way to go. It also decides how fast the car is. ⑦But how safe are self-driving cars? That is a big question for many people. Most people still worry about the safety of them. ⑧Although there are worries and problems, self-driving cars are getting more and more popular.

D．The technologies of self-driving cars. 【答案】42．B 43．A 44．D 45．C 【导语】本文介绍了自动驾驶汽车如何从昔日的想象变为如今的现实，并系统阐述了使其实现自主驾驶的核心技术，包括用于感知环境的计算机视觉、融合多传感器数据的传感器融合、实时定位与建图的SLAM技术以及进行路径规划和决策的智能系统；同时，文章也客观探讨了公众对其安全性的普遍担忧，并在结尾指出，尽管存在挑战，自动驾驶汽车正日益普及，并被广泛认为蕴含着巨大的发展机遇与潜力。 42．推理判断题。根据“Not too long ago, people could only imagine self-driving cars. But now, they are real! Self-driving cars like RoboTaxi in Wuhan have come to our streets!”可知，第一段通过对比自动驾驶汽车从过去难以想象到如今已成为现实的巨大变化，并列举具体实例，旨在自然而有力地引出全文的核心话题——自动驾驶汽车。故选B。 43．词义猜测题。根据“In a maze game, you need to find out the way to reach the end.”可知，你需要找到到达终点的方法，这是迷宫游戏的特点，划线词的意思是“迷宫”。故选A。 44．篇章结构题。文章整体采用“总—分—总”的结构，具体结构分析如下：总述（第①段）：由过去人们对自动驾驶汽车的想象，引出如今自动驾驶汽车已出现在街道上这一现实，点明主题；分述（第②至⑥段）：第②段：总体介绍自动驾驶汽车很神奇且能自动驾驶，引出对其工作原理的探讨。第③至⑥段：分别从计算机视觉、传感器融合、即时定位与地图建构、路径规划与决策四个方面，详细阐述自动驾驶汽车背后的主要技术；问题与展望（第⑦ - ⑧段）：第⑦段：提出自动驾驶汽车的安全性这一人们关心的大问题，指出多数人仍担忧其安全；第⑧段：尽管存在担忧和问题，但表明自动驾驶汽车越来越受欢迎，且充满机遇和可能性。正确结构与选项D所示一致。故选D。 45．推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“The self-driving car is believed to be full of chances and possibilities.”可知，自动驾驶汽车被认为充满了机遇和可能性，因此作者接下来最有可能讨论的是自动驾驶汽车的未来。故选C。 第二部分 非选择题 四、词汇应用(本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) 46．My cousin says he will learn (法语) next year. 【答案】French 【详解】句意：我堂兄说他明年要学法语。French“法语”，符合语境。故填French。 47．Girls are (讨论) how to decorate their classroom for the coming party. 【答案】discussing 【详解】句意：女孩们正在讨论如何为即将到来的聚会装饰教室。discuss“讨论”，动词原形，此处用其现在分词discussing，与are构成现在进行时。故填discussing。 48． (在……期间) my stay in Britain, I visited the main sights there. 【答案】During 【详解】句意：在英国逗留期间，我参观了那里的主要景点。根据汉语提示可知，空格所填词为介词。“在……期间”对应的英文为during，所填词位于句首，首字母要大写，故填During。 49． (幸运的是), William caught the last bus to go back home. 【答案】Luckily 【详解】句意：幸运的是，威廉赶上了最后一班公共汽车回家。“幸运的是”luckily，此处应用副词修饰整个句子。故填Luckily。 50．We all know it is best to understand new words in (句子). 【答案】sentences 【详解】句意：我们都知道在句子中理解新单词是最好的。根据汉语提示可知， “句子”英文表达为sentence，名词，根据题意，此处应用复数sentences表泛指。故填sentences。 51．The traffic is much (bad) after five o’ clock in big cities. 【答案】worse 【详解】句意：大城市五点以后交通就更糟糕了。much修饰比较级，bad的比较级是worse，故填worse。 52．Can you find out the (high) of the Eiffel Tower on the Internet? 【答案】height 【详解】句意：你能在网上查到埃菲尔铁塔的高度吗？the后接名词，high“高的”，是形容词，其名词形式为height，故填height。 53．There was not enough water to meet the (day) needs of the whole city then. 【答案】daily 【详解】句意：当时没有足够的水来满足整个城市的日常需要。空后是名词needs，需要用形容词来修饰，而day的形容词形式是daily“每天的”。故填daily。 54．Our school basketball players are looking forward to (win) the match. 【答案】winning 【详解】句意：我们学校的篮球运动员期待着赢得这场比赛。look forward to doing sth.“期待做某事”，是固定词组。故填winning。 55．It took George ages (choose) a new course.

One rainy afternoon, Lily stayed late at school for basketball practice. As she hurried to leave, she fell and sprained (扭伤) her ankle (脚踝). “Ouch!” she cried.

What is your name?” I said. He said, “My name is Merrylegs. I hope you are good-tempered (脾气好的). I don’t like horses that bite (咬).” He looked over at a tall chestnut (红棕马) horse. In the afternoon, when she went out, Merrylegs told me about her. “That’s Ginger,” he said. “She bites. One day she bit (咬伤) James, the groom (马夫). She says no one was kind to her before. But James and John Manly, our grooms, are very good to us, and Squire Gordon doesn’t whip (鞭打) his horses, so I think she’s going to like it here.” The next morning John took me for a ride. On the way back we met the Squire and Mrs Gordon . The Squire asked John: “Well, John, what’s the new horse like?” And John answered: “Excellent, sir.” Mrs Gordon said, “He’s a beauty. Let’s call him Black Beauty.” “Black Beauty?” said the Squire. “Yes, that’s a very good name.” A few days later I went out with Ginger, and we got on well (友好相处).

Take a look at some of the main technologies (科技) behind them! ③Computer vision (计算机视觉): The self-driving car has a computer and some cameras. The computer looks at all the pictures from the cameras. It then remembers road signs, traffic lights, people and other cars in the photos. ④Sensor fusion (传感器融合): The car gets information from its cameras and other sensors, such as the lidar. Sensor fusion uses all the information to better understand the environment around the car. ⑤Simultaneous localization and mapping (即时定位与地图建构): SLAM draws a detailed map of the environment.

It even guesses what other road users may do. Then, the computer chooses the safest and fastest way to go. It also decides how fast the car is. ⑦But how safe are self-driving cars?
