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．

Answer 1

分析 文章介绍无人驾驶汽车已经经过研发阶段，现在正在试用阶段，在不久的将来无人驾驶汽车将不是科幻而成为现实．文章还介绍了这些汽车的系统设计和有待改进的地方．

解答 DBACD
61．答案 D  细节理解题．根据"The high-tech company Google has a number of self-driving cars，which had covered 480，000 kilometers by August．"可知谷歌的自动行驶汽车驶过了一段较长的距离．故选D．
62．答案 B 细节理解题．由"In September，California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state．"可知加利福尼亚允许了在道路上做无人驾驶实验．故选B．
63．答案 A 段落归纳题  文章第三段and new electronic features are'making Hondas safer，可知主要描述这种无人驾驶汽车的安全性能，故答案为A
64．答案 C 细节理解题．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．"可知最大的挑战是昂贵的价格．故选C．
65．答案 D 主旨大意题．从这篇文章的内容和第一段的句子：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．可知这篇文章讲的是在不久的将来无人驾驶汽车将不是科幻而成为现实，选D

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是，仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案，这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱．所谓阅读理解，对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文，因此，每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查，再得出答案．也就是说，阅读理解的每一道题目，在原文都应该有明确的出处，我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句，（1）排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项（2）排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项  （3）排除用于过于极端或负面的选项（4）注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除．
