One woman who took a ride in one of Google’s cars said,”It was really kind of of a space-age experience.”

Self-driving cars could make the world a better place by reducing the number of cars people need and the amount of fuel those cars use. It could communicate with other self-driving cars to avoid traffic- cars waste a lot of fuel in traffic jams.

【解析】文章大意：在智能手機(jī)abs上點擊一個應(yīng)用程序，你就可以進(jìn)入自動駕駛的汽車。它知道什么時候停下來，在哪里跑步，如何避免交通事故，與人類司機(jī)不同的是，它從不睡覺，不會給朋友發(fā)短信，也不會在開車的時候吃漢堡。谷歌已經(jīng)開始建造100輛自動駕駛汽車。自動駕駛汽車可以通過減少人們需要的汽車數(shù)量和汽車使用的燃料數(shù)量，使世界變得更美好。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Unlike human drivers, It never falls asleep, texts its friends, or eats a hamburger while driving.不像人類司機(jī)，它從不睡覺、給朋友發(fā)短信、或者在開車時吃漢堡，結(jié)合選項，可知B選項符合題意，故答案選B。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)using sensors that “see” 600 feet in all directions to detect the road and any obstacles placed on the road which make it difficult to drive.使用能“看到”600英尺高的傳感器來探測道路和道路上的任何______，這些______會使駕駛變得困難，可知使駕駛變得困難的應(yīng)該是道路上的“障礙物”，所以“obstacles”應(yīng)指的是“障礙物”，故答案選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Instead, computer programs drive the cars,取而代之的是電腦程序驅(qū)動汽車，可知是電腦程序?qū)Ⅰ{駛自動汽車，結(jié)合選項，故答案選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Self-driving cars could make the world a better place by reducing the number of cars people need and the amount of fuel those cars use.自動駕駛汽車可以通過減少人們需要的汽車數(shù)量和汽車使用的燃料數(shù)量，可知自動駕駛汽車是通過減少人們需要的汽車數(shù)量來減少燃料的，故答案選C。
