12.Driving in traffic can be extremely stressful.Pedestrians appear out of nowhere,cars suddenly pull out of parking spots,and roads become slippery due to rain or snow.Knowing when to brake and when to accelerate in such situations is hard enough for a human driver,let alone a robotic one.But several carmakers-and a few tech companies-are working to convince drivers to let driverless cars take the wheel.
       Without question,the most anticipated benefit of driverless cars is improved safety.Driverless systems will feature sensors that detect safety threats that human drivers might miss.Many carmakers already offer systems that alert drivers whenever they get dangerously close to other cars.
Also,driverless systems have the benefit of increased efficiency.Driverless cars won't waste as much gas as human drivers do,and guided by advanced GPS,they'll always take the fastest route.Once driverless cars become widely available,common people can have their own driver,and they'll just sit back and relax while their car's computer takes the wheel!
Although completely driverless cars won't be on the market for several years,the technology behind them is already appearing in phases.Two examples are the Active Lane Keeping Assist option for Mercedes-Benz cars and Ford's Traffic Jam Assist.In the first option,the system warns the driver whenever the car crosses lane markings by causing the steering wheel to vibrate(振動(dòng)).In the second option,the system helps the car keep pace with other cars while remaining in its current lane.The system is being developed to help relieve blocking on busy roads.
       Several carmakers claim that they'll produce driverless cars within the next decade.But critics aren't so sure,warning that a completely driverless car must be able to make split-second decisions in even the most complex traffic situations.In addition,the car's computer must become smart enough to know when to ask the driver to intervene (介入,干涉) to prevent an accident.
       Full government approval won't happen until driverless cars are proven safe.In the meantime,expect to see carmakers offer ever-smarter features on their new models.
 (Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE WORDS)
78.One of the factors that make traffic extremely stressful is thepedestrians appearing out of nowhere/cars pulling out of parking spots/slippery roads due to rain or snow
79.What are the benefits of driverless system?Improved safety and increased efficiency
80.What will happen to a car with the Active Lane Keeping Assist when it crosses lane markings?The steering wheel will vibrate.
81.Driverless cars won't be on the market until they canmake split-second decisions and know when to ask the driver to intervene.

10.Le Whif,an inhaler (吸入劑) that allows chocolate lovers to meet their needs whenever they please without putting on weight,is to be on market in British stores.The invention,called the world's first breatheable food,lets consumers suck in the taste of chocolate or coffee while taking on less than one calorie.Its makers claim it will enable dieters to enjoy their favorite snacks without worrying about their waistline.
The lip-stick-style tube contains hundreds of milligrams of tiny food particles (粒子) which are small enough to be carried by air,but too large to enter the lungs.Each Le Whif contains enough flavor for about eight to ten whiffs (一陣氣味) and costs﹩1.99 on its own,or﹩4.99 a pack of three.The inhaler is available in chocolate as well as coffee flavor.
It was invented by Prof.David Edwards.He said Le Whif was not designed to replace food but could be used to increase dining experiences,such as allowing people to try a variety of dishes from restaurant menus before ordering their meal.
He said,"In terms of living on whiffing,we aren't even close to being there.But there clearly has been a revolution over the last few years where we are eating smaller amounts of food more frequently,and choosing food for its aesthetic (審美的) pleasure.We will be launching new whiffing experiences probably every six months.It is reasonable to predict that the next line of whiffing products will be even more health centered."
The product came onto market in Paris in 2009and the first production run of 25,000inhalers were sold out within a month.It has since been made available across France and in the US.In Britain Le Whif is to be sold firstly in House of Fraser for a month,after which it could become more widely distributed.

64.We can learn from Paragraph 1thatA.
A.Le Whif isn't availabe in British stores yet
B.Le Whif can help dieters to lose weight
C.Le Whif is calorie-free
D.Le Whif is popular with British chocolate lovers
65.What's the main purpose of inventing Le Whif?D
A.To replace food.
B.To help people stop drinking coffee.
C.To replace the traditional chocolate.
D.To increase people's dining experiences.
66.Which of the following statements does David Edwards agree with?B
A.His new products will come out once a year.
B.The whiffing products in the future will be improved.
C.Le Whif can make people eat less food.
D.Le Whif is a revolution that will change people's life.

7.The Focal Point of the"Chinese Liquor Golden Triangle"
In China,there is a saying:a good spirit(wine) is in Sichuan,but the great one is in Yibin.
Yibin,the birthplace of Wuliangye,has a centuries-old tradition of producing great spirits.At the confluence of Jinsha and Min rivers,Yibin is praised as the first city on the source of the Yangtze River.Here,the water is clean,the soil is rich,and the climate is very favorable for brewing good liquor.The blessings of nature and centuries-old liquor brewing traditions gave rise to"The Ten-Mile Liquor City",the main production facility of domestic liquor giant Wuliangye Group Co.Ltd.
Extending across 10 kilometers and dotted with gardens and sculptures,the city attracts domestic and foreign visitors with its famed liquor brewing and related culture.Another attraction is its legendary Ming Dynasty (1368-1644AD) liquor cellars (酒窖,地下儲(chǔ)藏室).
The city has 30,000 large modern brewing tanks that provide an enormous capacity to store liquor.
The high quality of Wuliangye also owes much to its unique brewing techniques and materials.These traditional techniques are included on the list of national intangible(非物質(zhì)的) cultural heritage.

Wuliangye is now investing 300 million yuan in a state-of-the-art quality assurance center (質(zhì)保中心)that has higher standards than national requirements,which will boost the existing quality-control system when it is put into service next year.
With a goal of production value of 100 billion yuan for the year of 2020,Wuliangye is playing a leading role in the development of the liquor industry in the region.A lot of related industries are now building up in the region to create a Chinese Liquor Golden Triangle-the Chinese equivalent (相當(dāng)于)of the French Bordeaux region---that continues to appear on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

A.Compared with the western countries,Chinese wines have a long way to go.

C.Wuliangye's pre-tax profit accounted for nearly 6.25 billion in 2008.
