People have dreamed about driverless motoring since at least the 1930s,but only in recent years have carmakers such as Mercedes-Benz and Volvo given the matter more thought,equipping test cars with the sensors and complicated software required to pass through busy roads.Google has made rapid progress by designing a driverless car from the ground up. But bringing autonomous motoring to the world is proving harder than Google had imagined.It once promised it by 2017.Now it does not see production models coming out before 2020.The technology is far advanced,but it still needs to be made smaller and cheaper.Google’s current test cars are said to be filled with equipment worth $80,000. Google’s latest efforts may have as much to do with convincing the public and lawmakers as improving the technology.The firm stresses that computers are more likely than humans to avoid accidents.The cars will have a top speed of just 25mph and a front end made of soft foam(泡沫) to protect careless pedestrians.The benefits could indeed be huge.Driving time could be given over to working,sleeping or browsing the web.However,the issue of liability(问责) in the event of a driverless car crashing has yet to be resolved. Turning cars into products may not be good news for traditional carmakers.But changing the concept of driving into service fits well with Google’s plans to become as big in hardware as in software.And unlike car firms,which talk vaguely of becoming “mobility providers”,Google has a lot of money to make this a reality and no worries about disturbing its current business.Google admits it still has “lots of work to do”.But one day Googling to the shops may be a common activity. 1.What’s Google’s next goal? A.To become a tech giant in computer. B.To get autonomous cars on the road. C.To cut down the cost of making cars. D.To beat Mercedes-Benz and Volvo. 2.What benefits do Google’s driverless cars have? A.All kinds of accidents can be avoided. B.They can protect drivers from severe injury. C.Drivers can be otherwise engaged on the road. D.There’s no problem with who to blame for a crash. 3.What difficulty is Google faced with at present? A.Technology. B.Competition. C.Finance. D.Promotion. Ⅴ.七选五 (2025广东揭阳揭东第一中学高二上期中) My husband and I made an agreement to help each other stay off social media platforms as much as possible.We left our accounts up instead of deleting them,but consciously stopped using them.　1　 Now,I’m glad to report that they have worked.  Tired of being the last to hear of things,we downloaded a few news-specific apps that provide timely information.　2　 Instead of relying on articles shared by my friends,I now have access to a steady stream of headlines that span far broader than my pre-specified interests.  Staying updated on our social circle has also been a more conscious effort.Previously I was kept up-to-the-minute on engagements,weddings,new jobs and babies through updates and pictures.Without social media,I now learn of these important events only when actually meeting the people involved. 　3　 The effort taken to sit down and write is far challenging,but when I do take the time to keep a journal,my reflections go far deeper.  I still log in occasionally.　4　 Based on the screen time tracked by my phone,I used to spend an average of over 24 hours a week on various social media platforms.That is down to just 20 minutes every month now,freeing up a great deal of time for sleep,hobbies and offline interactions.  　5　 I might know less about my acquaintances (泛泛之交) now,but have more time to keep directly in touch with my closest friends.Walking home last week,I was greeted by a dramatic purple-pink sunset.I would have immediately reached for my phone a year ago.Now,it was enough to simply watch it darken into the night.  A.Overall,I’m glad to have made the change. B.We have made a few adjustments in our daily life. C.I bought myself a diary again after many years. D.This has also widened the range of news I keep up with. E.I do miss the convenience of using social media to record and reflect. F.However,social media now plays a much less important role in my life.

One day,Gabriel came back from school,bursting through the front door,holding a shining award in his hand.The gas detection robot he had built for months had just won first place in the regional competition.His heart raced as he imagined his mother would be proud this time. “Mom!Look!I won!” he cried.His mother,standing at the kitchen counter,looked briefly.She sighed,“That’s nice,Gabriel,but I still don’t see what good it will do you.It’s not going to help you with your grades or get you into college.You need to focus on something more practical.” Her voice showed no interest.Gabriel remained quiet,determined to prove that what he was doing had value. One evening,as the delicious smell of dinner floated through the house,an unexpected danger was quietly closing.Gabriel’s mother had been busy in the kitchen but had forgotten to turn off the gas.Unaware of the coming threat,she had wandered into the living room,settling down comfortably in front of the TV.The gas continued to escape,silently filling the air.The house was on the edge of a disaster. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150 左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Suddenly,a loud alarm rang through the house.           Gabriel’s mother held the robot gently in her arms,waiting for Gabriel to get back from school.           知识积累卡 一、重点单词 1.resolve vt.　　　　　　　　　　　→resolution n.　　　　　　　　　　　 2.engage vt.& vi.　　　　　　　　　　　→engagement n.　　　　　　→engaged adj.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  3.involve vt.　　　　　　　　　　→involvement n.　　　　　　→involved adj.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  二、熟词生义 1.around　本文义:adv.　　　　　　　  其他义:adv.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  2.work　本文义:vi.　　　　　　　　　　  其他义:vi.& vt.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　n.　　　　　　  三、词块速记 1.give sth thought 　　　　　　　  2.from ground up　　　　　　　  3.free up　　　　　　　　　　　  4.fall victim to　　　　　　　　　　　　  四、经典句式背诵 One day,Gabriel came back from school,bursting through the front door,holding a shining award in his hand. 句意: 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　  参考答案 Ⅰ.1.cease　2.advocating　3.opposed　4.accurate　5.resist Ⅱ.1.at　2.occupations　3.prediction　4.absence　5.resistance Ⅲ.1.It can be argued that　2.has made it possible;to receive education　3.were opposed to　4.is changing various occupations　5.predict it will create new prospects in career;are opposed to　6.advocate a balanced view　7.Emphasis should be placed on　8.In the absence of;resistance to it　9.keep in touch with technological advances Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了谷歌公司设计并开发无人驾驶汽车获得的成果和面临的挑战。 1.B　细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“On May 28th Google said it would build 100 driverless cars.It is the next stage in its apparent pursuit to be as common on the road as on computer screens.”可知,谷歌下一阶段的目标是让自动驾驶汽车上路。故选B项。 2.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The benefits could indeed be huge.Driving time could be given over to working,sleeping or browsing the web.”可知,谷歌的无人驾驶汽车可以让司机在路上处理其他的事情。故选C项。 3.A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The technology is far advanced,but it still needs to be made smaller and cheaper.Google’s current test cars are said to be filled with equipment worth $80,000.”可知,谷歌目前面临如何在技术上将车做得更小更便宜的问题。故选A项。 Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了我和丈夫有意识地停止使用社交媒体的过程及效果。 1.B　根据设空处上文“We left our accounts up instead of deleting them,but consciously stopped using them.”可知我们打算停止社交账户的使用。下文“Now,I’m glad to report that they have worked.”可知,此处是停止使用后出现的效果。因此设空处是描述自己的行为做出了改变,然后才能起作用。选项B符合语义,故选B项。 2.D　根据上文“Tired of being the last to hear of things,we downloaded a few news-specific apps that provide timely information.”可知,作者下载了新的新闻专用应用程序。下文“Instead of relying on articles shared by my friends,I now have access to a steady stream of headlines that span far broader than my pre-specified interests.”可知,作者现在使用应用程序,而不是依赖于朋友分享。因此设空处要描述作者改变获取新闻方式之后产生的效果。选项D符合语义,故选D项。 3.C　根据下文“The effort taken to sit down and write is far challenging,but when I do take the time to keep a journal,my reflections go far deeper.”可知,此设空处的行为改变与日记有关,因此下文才会出现写日记有挑战性,因此自己反思。选项C符合语义,故选C项。 4.F　根据上文“I still log in occasionally.”可知,作者并没有完全放弃使用社交媒体,只是偶尔使用。再根据下文“Based on the screen time tracked by my phone...hobbies and offline interactions.”可知,作者花在社交媒体的时间越来越少。因此设空处是一个承上启下的作用,选项F与上下句呼应,故选F项。 5.A　根据下文“I might know less about my acquaintances (泛泛之交) now,but have more time to keep directly in touch with my closest friends.”可知,虽然失去了一些泛泛之交的近况,但却有更大的收获,因此可知,空处应该对上文进行总结,选项A符合语义,故选A项。 Ⅵ.1.to create　2.it　3.officially　4.A　5.when　6.was beaten　7.transforming　8.benefits　9.warnings　10.greedy Ⅶ.Technology and Life  It is a great honor for me to deliver a speech concerning “Technology and Life”.With the rapid development of technology,its influences on our daily lives are everywhere. Thanks to high-tech,we can stay connected with friends and families,no matter where they are.We can easily access information,and even order food and groceries with a few taps on our mobile phones.However,technology also brings negative influences.With the constant exposure to the screens,our eyes get tired.What’s worse,there is always a concern about privacy and data security. Despite these drawbacks,I think technology’s positive impacts outweigh the negative ones.So,we need to use technology in a way that maximizes its benefits while minimizing its harm. Ⅷ.Suddenly,a loud alarm rang through the house.Gabriel’s gas detection robot had sensed the leak and sprung into action.The shrill sound jolted his mother from her TV reverie,her heart pounding as she realized the danger they were in.Quickly,she rushed to the kitchen,turned off the gas,and opened all the windows to let the fresh air disperse the dangerous fumes.As the alarm ceased,she stood there,breathing a sigh of relief,suddenly understanding the significance of Gabriel’s invention.It wasn’t just a toy or a useless machine;it was a lifesaver.  Gabriel’s mother held the robot gently in her arms,waiting for Gabriel to get back from school.She couldn’t wait to tell him how his creation had prevented a potential tragedy.When Gabriel finally walked through the door,his mother greeted him with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.“Gabriel,you were right,” she said,hugging him tightly.“This robot isn’t just a hobby;it’s something that can protect us,make our lives safer.I’m sorry I didn’t see it before.” Gabriel’s heart swelled with pride and joy.From that day on,his mother became his biggest supporter,encouraging him to pursue his passion for robotics and recognizing the value of his inventions in making the world a better,safer place.  知识积累卡 一、1.解决;决心,决定　解决;决定;决心　2.(使)参加;(使)参与　参与　忙于,从事于;被占用　3.使参与;包含　参与　参与的;投入的;有关的　 二、1.现有;可用　在附近;各处;到处　2.起作用;有效;行得通　(使)工作;(使)运行　工作 三、1.考虑某事　2.从头开始　3.腾出;使空出来……　4.成为……的牺牲品 四、一天,加布里埃尔从学校回来,冲进前门,手里拿着一个闪闪发光的奖品。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
