Question

【題目】 What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves?Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them is worried about the road ahead.

Well, all of these could be the future of driving. There are several companies, for example, Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google selfdriven car has got a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accident when other cars hit them.

These cars are now still in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, these electric, selfdriven cars could be available very soon. But how is it possible for a car to drive itself?Cars already have many features allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice other cars close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.

Scientists believe that with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, it is possible to create a safe selfdriven car very soon.

The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The selfdriven car may be able to stop this. However, some people do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.

【1】The main purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.

A.get readers to pay attention to road safety

B.tell readers the danger of selfdriven cars

C.ask readers to keep away from heavy traffic

D.make readers be interested in selfdriven cars

【2】The testing selfdriven cars need ________ to run.

A.solar energyB.water

C.electricityD.coal

【3】From the passage, we know that the testing selfdriven cars can already ________.

A.stop any accident on the road

B.turn around when getting near other cars

C.control the speed in dangerous situations

D.park themselves with the help of the drivers

【4】Which is NOT helpful to make the selfdriven cars run safely according to the passage?

A.Ereading.B.Wireless signals.

C.Cameras.D.GPS.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】C

【4】A

【解析】

本文講述了無人駕駛汽車。一輛空車在去接主人的路上經(jīng)過，或者一輛滿載乘客的車正在閱讀、聽音樂甚至睡覺。有幾家公司正在研發(fā)無人駕駛汽車，但是有些人并不喜歡這樣的情況。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves?如果汽車能自動駕駛，世界會變成什么樣子?所以是讓讀者對無人駕駛汽車感興趣，故選D。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)If the tests are successful, these electric, selfdriven cars could be available very soon.如果測試成功，這些電動、自動駕駛的汽車將很快面世。所以是用電的，故選C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.如果有危險情況，他們還可以控制速度。故選C。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Scientists believe that with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, it is possible to create a safe selfdriven car very soon. 科學(xué)家們相信，在無線信號、攝像頭和GPS的幫助下，很快就有可能制造出一輛安全的自動駕駛汽車。所以沒有Ereading，故選A。

推理判斷就是根據(jù)文章所提供的信息，脫離字面理解的局限，抓住關(guān)鍵細節(jié)，得出合乎邏輯的結(jié)論。所以我們可以根據(jù)文章中的相關(guān)細節(jié)去判斷推理，得知答案。

本文第二題是推理判斷題。根據(jù)What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves?如果汽車能自動駕駛，世界會變成什么樣子?推理出第一段的主要目的是讓讀者對無人駕駛汽車感興趣，故選D。
