Question

20．Your next car might drive itself．After years of trials on city streets，driverless vehicles are now on the way．Last month，a driverless bus began carrying passengers through Lyon，France．Most in the automobile industry think self-driving vehicles will be on the road by 2020 or earlier．
Driverless cars will first be huddled with human-driven cars．But the first places where they will become dominant（统治的）are highly populated urban areas．Many advanced cities are already reducing the role of human-driven cars．Driverless cars will quicken that process and will bring us enormous benefits．
Driverless cars will reduce accidents by around 90 percent．That's big-the annual deaths on the world's roads are about 1.2 million a year．Pollution and carbon emissions will drop，because urban driverless cars will be electric．
On the other hand，driverless cars will cause problems．Over the next 20 years，the mostly low-skilled men who now drive trucks，taxis and buses will see their jobs reduced．Traditional carmakers are especially scared．The cars of the future might be made by tech companies such as Apple，Baidu and Google．Imagine Germany，where automobile making is the largest industry．
Dramatic changes are coming，and driverless cars could arrive by 2020．But governments have barely begun thinking about it．Only 6 percent of the biggest US cities have taken them into their long-term planning．A decade ago anyone hardly saw the Smartphone coming．Now what about the driverless cars？

25．B．细节理解题．根据"Pollution and carbon emissions will drop，because urban driverless cars will be electric．"可知无人驾驶的汽车会减少污染和碳排放是因为它们是由电力驱动的．
26．D．判断作者态度题．A．Doubtful怀疑的；B．Disappointed失望的；C．Negative消极的；D．Objective客观的；根据"Pollution and carbon emissions will drop，because urban driverless cars will be electric．"无人驾驶汽车会减少污染和碳排放；和"On the other hand，driverless cars will cause problems．"另一方面，它也会引起大灾难．可知作者对无人驾驶汽车的态度是客观的．故选D．
27．C．细节理解题．根据"But governments have barely begun thinking about it．Only 6 percent of the biggest US cities have taken them into their long-term planning．"但是政府几乎不考虑此事．美国大城市仅有6%将无人驾驶汽车列入到很长的计划之中．可知领导人还没有认真对待无人驾驶汽车．故选C．
