Question

【題目】閱讀理解
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 are worried about the road ahead.
Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self-driven car has gotten a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.
These cars are now still in the testing stages. But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.
The cars already have many features（特點）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 objects close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.
Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driven car might be possible.
The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self-driven car may be able to prevent these. 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.make readers wonder about self-driven cars.
B.get readers to pay attention to road safety.
C.tell readers to keep away from heavy traffic.
D.tell readers what self-driven cars look like.
（2）From the passage, we know that the testing self-driven cars can already ______
A.avoid being hit by other vehicles on roads.
B.control the speed in dangerous situations.
C.turn around when getting near objects.
D.pick up their owners.
（3）What might make the self-driven cars run safely according to the passage?
a. e-reading b. wireless signals c. cameras d. GPS
A.a, b, c
B.a, b, d
C.b, c, d
D.a, c, d
（4）What is Whit Drake's attitude toward the safety of the self-driven cars?
A.He has doubt about it.
B.He believes it completely.
C.He doesn't care about it.
D.He thinks its technologies are convincing（使人信服的）.

【解析】短文主要介紹了將來有可能會發(fā)明無人駕駛的汽車，及這樣的汽車將會怎樣工作。 雖然目前只是實驗階段，但是很可能成為現(xiàn)實。
⑴寫作意圖。第一段開始提出問題：如果汽車會自己駕駛會怎么樣？然后說自動駕駛的好處。所以本段是為了引起讀者對自動駕駛汽車的興趣。故選A。
⑵細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段可知測試階段的自動駕駛汽車客運自動泊車，遇到物體減速，在危險情況下控制速度，所以B正確。
⑶細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driven car might be possible.可知有了無線信號，攝像頭和GPS,創(chuàng)造安全的自動駕駛已經(jīng)成為可能。故選C。
⑷推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes. 可知美國律師 Whit Drake對汽車的安全性表示懷疑，認為技術(shù)也會出錯。故選A。
