Question

16．People in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver．Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida，Nevada and California．They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road．The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars，which had covered 480，000 kilometers by August．Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020．
     In September，California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state．"Today we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality-the driverless car．"The technology for these cars includes cameras，radar and motion sensors．The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U．S．government agency DARPA．Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races．
     Cars have become much more fuel-efficient，and new electronic features are'making Hondas safer，said Angie Nucci of Honda America．"A camera on the passenger-side mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes．"Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars．These systems help drivers，but don't replace them．Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer．
"By taking out drivers，you also remove most risks of an accident，"Kendall said．He said consumers，however，may be unwilling to lose control．"It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable，but it will have to prove itself first．"
     Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable．He said this will happen as the technology is improved．

A．Driverless vehicles are now legal in the whole USA．
B．Volvo will be the first to sell driverless cars．

Answer 1

分析 文章介紹無人駕駛汽車已經(jīng)經(jīng)過研發(fā)階段，現(xiàn)在正在試用階段，在不久的將來無人駕駛汽車將不是科幻而成為現(xiàn)實．文章還介紹了這些汽車的系統(tǒng)設(shè)計和有待改進的地方．

解答 DBACD
61．答案 D  細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars，which had covered 480，000 kilometers by August．"可知谷歌的自動行駛汽車駛過了一段較長的距離．故選D．
62．答案 B 細節(jié)理解題．由"In September，California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state．"可知加利福尼亞允許了在道路上做無人駕駛實驗．故選B．
63．答案 A 段落歸納題  文章第三段and new electronic features are'making Hondas safer，可知主要描述這種無人駕駛汽車的安全性能，故答案為A
64．答案 C 細節(jié)理解題．由"Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable．"可知最大的挑戰(zhàn)是昂貴的價格．故選C．
65．答案 D 主旨大意題．從這篇文章的內(nèi)容和第一段的句子：People in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver．Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida，Nevada and California．They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road．可知這篇文章講的是在不久的將來無人駕駛汽車將不是科幻而成為現(xiàn)實，選D

點評 做閱讀時經(jīng)常犯錯的主要原因是，僅憑讀過文章后殘留在腦海中的一絲印象來勾選答案，這樣便很容易掉入出題人故意設(shè)布下的題目陷阱．所謂閱讀理解，對于題目的理解一定要忠實于原文，因此，每一道題都應該與原文作全面的對比與核查，再得出答案．也就是說，閱讀理解的每一道題目，在原文都應該有明確的出處，我們把這一出處叫做原文相關(guān)句，（1）排除與原文相關(guān)句主題不一致的選項（2）排除與原文相關(guān)句態(tài)度相反的選項  （3）排除用于過于極端或負面的選項（4）注意結(jié)合文章主旨和主題去排除．
