Question

8．Google，the leading company in self-driving technology，has completely renewed its development program．Previously，Google had cars built by other companies，but now it will start building its own cars．
      For the past four years，Google's technicians had been working on a way to return control to the human driver's steering wheel （方向盤） in a dangerous situation．However，Google now says that the switch from automation to human control will not be possible anytime soon．Google's heads realized that relying on a human that may be reading，working，or sleeping to take over in an emergency wouldn't work．So what's the solution？
      Google has started to build a series of 100 experimental electric cars that look like a Smart car or Fiat 500．The only difference？There is no steering wheel，gas pedal （油門） and brake （剎車）．The only things a human passenger controls are a red"e-stop"button for panic stops and a start button．The car's face is designed to make it seem friendly and help people accept self-driving te chnology．
      Google employees had taken part in a long experiment，in which they used self-driving vehicles to work every day．There were no crashes．This is a major change from competing self-driving projects．Mercedes Benz，BMW and Volvo have all developed some self-driving cars，but none completely eliminate  the driver．For example，the Mercedes Benz cars will stop if the driver takes his hands off the wheel for over ten seconds．
      Google will limit its early cars to a top speed of 25 miles per hour for safety reasons．These cars are designed to drive in or around cities，not on highways．However，a Google engineer commented that once their safety has been proven，there will be no limit to the speed．In the near future，Google's self-driving cars may make our roads much safer，and of course drivers may feel more relaxed on the way．
32．Unlike a Smart car，Google's electric carsC．
A．can run not only on land but also under water
B．a(chǎn)re equipped with an unusual steering wheel
C．just offer two control buttons for a passenger
D．a(chǎn)re environmentally friendly and run faster
33．The underlined word"eliminate"in Paragraph 4 can best be replaced by"C"．
A．train                              
B．employ
C．remove                               
D．frighten
34．We can infer from the text that GoogleB．
A．will change the top speed of cars completely
B．may bring about a big change in transport
C．has made great progress in improving road safety
D．gives more attention to the experiences of drivers
35．What would be the best title for the text？A
A．Driverless cars：closer to reality
B．Crash testing & highway safety
C．How do self-driving cars work？
D．The future of Google Search．

Answer 1

分析 文章主要向我們介紹了谷歌公司正在研發(fā)中的無(wú)人駕駛汽車，而且這些汽車離我們?cè)絹?lái)越近了

解答 32．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．由第三段中的The only things a human passenger controls are a red"e-stop"button for panic stops and a start button可知，谷歌公司的電動(dòng)汽車為乘客僅僅提供了兩個(gè)按鈕用來(lái)控制汽車，故選C項(xiàng)．
33．C．詞義猜測(cè)題．由下文的For example，the Mercedes Benz cars will stop if the driver takes his hands off the wheel for over ten seconds可知，奔馳汽車還是離不開(kāi)司機(jī)，所以這里是說(shuō)奔馳、寶馬和沃爾沃這些車企還沒(méi)有完全"去掉司機(jī)"，即：實(shí)現(xiàn)無(wú)人駕駛，故選C項(xiàng)．
34．B．推理判斷題．由最后一段中的In the near future，Google's self-driving cars may make our roads much safer，and of course drivers may feel more relaxed on the way可知，在不久的將來(lái)，谷歌公司有可能在交通工具領(lǐng)域引發(fā)一場(chǎng)大的變革，故選B項(xiàng)．
35．A．標(biāo)題歸納題．總覽全文可知，文章主要向我們介紹了谷歌公司正在研發(fā)中的無(wú)人駕駛汽車，而且這些汽車離我們?cè)絹?lái)越近了，故選A項(xiàng)．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是社會(huì)文化類閱讀理解．做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對(duì)文章通讀一遍，做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語(yǔ)句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測(cè)，一定要做到有理有據(jù)
