Robotaxi Go rides on a road of Wuhan
Baidu’s robotaxi (萝卜快跑) is experiencing a big order (订单) increase in Wuhan, Hubei Province, which is leading to hot public discussions.
Robotaxis are driverless (无人的) taxis, which makes travel faster and more comfortable. People can book robotaxis at any time of day through the Baidu apps in the pilot areas (试点区域). Taking a robotaxi is cheaper than a traditional one. The car is clean and smart, allowing passengers to choose their preferred music freely. “With no driver in the car, I can avoid communicating with others, making it easier to rest,” a local rider in Wuhan told the reporter on Wednesday.
A report from Baidu shared with the Global Times showed that there are 300 driverless taxis in Wuhan. In fact, this Baidu service has been introduced to many cities in China, such as Beijing, Wuhan, Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Shanghai.
However, every coin has two sides. Robotaxis have some drawbacks. “The waiting time is long, taking 8-10 minutes from order to arrival, and the driving speed is slow, not a good choice for passengers in a hurry,” one rider complained. What’s more, the rising order for lower-price robotaxi worries taxi drivers.
In a word, driverless technology has entered our daily life, and it will change the world, which requires us to look at it correctly, think calmly, and actively embrace (拥抱) the arrival of each new technological change.
24. What’s the advantage of Baidu’s robotaxis?
A. People can book the taxis on any apps.
B. They are cheaper than traditional taxis.
C. People can communicate with the driver freely.
25. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” probably mean in Paragraph 4?
A. 缺点 B. 绘画 C. 后退
26. Why are taxi drivers worried about the rise of robotaxis?
A. Because robotaxis are more comfortable.
B. Because robotaxis are cheaper.
C. Because robotaxis are faster.
27 What is the author’s attitude (态度) towards the growth of Baidu's robotaxi business?
A. Disagree. B. Unclear. C. Supportive.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. C
【解析】

Robotaxi Go rides on a road of Wuhan
Baidu’s robotaxi (萝卜快跑) is experiencing a big order (订单) increase in Wuhan, Hubei Province, which is leading to hot public discussions.
Robotaxis are driverless (无人的) taxis, which makes travel faster and more comfortable. People can book robotaxis at any time of day through the Baidu apps in the pilot areas (试点区域). Taking a robotaxi is cheaper than a traditional one. The car is clean and smart, allowing passengers to choose their preferred music freely. “With no driver in the car, I can avoid communicating with others, making it easier to rest,” a local rider in Wuhan told the reporter on Wednesday.
A report from Baidu shared with the Global Times showed that there are 300 driverless taxis in Wuhan. In fact, this Baidu service has been introduced to many cities in China, such as Beijing, Wuhan, Shenzhen, Chongqing, and Shanghai.
However, every coin has two sides. Robotaxis have some drawbacks. “The waiting time is long, taking 8-10 minutes from order to arrival, and the driving speed is slow, not a good choice for passengers in a hurry,” one rider complained. What’s more, the rising order for lower-price robotaxi worries taxi drivers.
In a word, driverless technology has entered our daily life, and it will change the world, which requires us to look at it correctly, think calmly, and actively embrace (拥抱) the arrival of each new technological change.
24. What’s the advantage of Baidu’s robotaxis?
A. People can book the taxis on any apps.
B. They are cheaper than traditional taxis.
C. People can communicate with the driver freely.
25. What does the underlined word “drawbacks” probably mean in Paragraph 4?
A. 缺点 B. 绘画 C. 后退
26. Why are taxi drivers worried about the rise of robotaxis?
A. Because robotaxis are more comfortable.
B. Because robotaxis are cheaper.
C. Because robotaxis are faster.
27. What is the author’s attitude (态度) towards the growth of Baidu's robotaxi business?
A. Disagree. B. Unclear. C. Supportive.
C
Though simple and little, chopsticks are a great and useful thing in China. The chopsticks are an important symbol of Chinese culture and history. Chopsticks have a long history of more than 3,000 years in China. The recorded history of chopsticks is as early as the Shang Dynasty (朝代).
Chopsticks were pronounced “Zhu (箸)” in ancient China, while they are known today as “Kuaizi”. There are more than 200 kinds of chopsticks according to the material, including wood, bamboo, beautiful stones, animal bones and others. Bamboo and wood chopsticks are the most popular ones in Chinese homes.
In Asia, lots of countries use chopsticks. However, Chinese chopsticks are the longest ones in the world because Chinese tables are usually bigger. For chopsticks, there are two sticks of the same shape and size. The two sticks have no relation with each other, but they can work well through fingers. When using chopsticks, there are a few things people should know. Before a meal, people put the chopsticks on the right of the bowls. It’s impolite to beat bowls with chopsticks. What’s more, don’t stir (搅动) food with your chopsticks to find what you want. This will make others feel uncomfortable.
If you are really interested in the chopsticks and want to know more about them, you can visit the Kuaizi Museum in Shanghai. This museum has collected over 1,000 pairs of chopsticks.
28. Which of the following is NOT a name of chopsticks in Chinese?
A. Zhu. B. Kuaizi. C. Shaozi.
29. Stirring food with your chopsticks will make others feel _______.
A. uncomfortable B. enjoyable C. unbelievable

C. Chinese chopsticks are the longest ones in the world.
31. The passage wants to _______.
A. tell people how to use chopsticks
B welcome people to visit a great museum
C. introduce a symbol of China — chopsticks
