题目内容
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(振动).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.

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.

78 细节题. 根据文章第一 段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. 可知影响交通压力的因素有行人到处都是,汽车突然从停车场出来,由于雨雪路变滑,故答案为.pedestrians appearing out of nowhere/cars pulling out of parking spots/slippery roads due to rain or snow
79 细节题. 根据文章第二 段the most anticipated benefit of driverless cars is improved safety.the most anticipated benefit of driverless cars is improved safety.和第三段Also,driverless systems have the benefit of increased efficiency. 可知无人驾驶汽车的好处有两个,一是安全程度的提高,二是效率的提升,故答案为Improved safety and increased efficiency
80 细节题. 根据文章第 四段In the first option,the system warns the driver whenever the car crosses lane markings by causing the steering wheel to vibrate(振动) 可知当汽车经过车道标记的时候方向盘会震动,故答案为The steering wheel will vibrate.
81 细节题. 根据文章倒数第二 段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.可知make split-second decisions and know when to ask the driver to intervene
