Since Henry Ford turned it into a mass-market product a century ago, the car has delivered many benefits. It has promoted economic growth, increased social mobility and given people a lot of fun. But the car has also brought many problems. It pollutes the air, creates traffic jams and kills people. An astonishing 1.24 million people die, and as many as 50 million are hurt, in road accidents each year.

Drivers and passengers waste around 90 billion hours in traffic jams each year. In some car-choked cities as much as a third of the petrol used is burned by people looking for a space to park.

Fortunately, a new technology promises to make motoring safer, less polluting and less tendency to hold-ups. “Connected cars”--which may eventually develop into driverless cars but for the foreseeable future will still have a human at the wheel-can communicate wirelessly with each other and with traffic-management systems, avoid walkers and other vehicles and find open parking spots.

Some parts of the transformation are already in place. Many new cars are already being fitted with equipment that lets them keep their distance and stay in a motorway automatically at a range of speeds. Soon, all new cars in Europe will have to be able to warn the emergency services if their on-board sensors(传感器) discover a crash. Singapore has led the way with using variable tolls(道路通行费) to smooth traffic flows during rush-hours; Britain is pioneering “smart motorways”, whose speed limits vary constantly to achieve a similar effect. Combined, these new inventions could create a much more highly effective system in which cars and their drivers are constantly warned of dangers and showed the ways, traffic always flows at the proper speed and vehicles can travel closer together, yet with less risk of crashing.

In the past, more people driving meant more roads, more jams, more death and more pollution. In future, the connected car could offer mankind the pleasures of the road with rather less of the pain.

1.According to Paragraph 2, the problem of parking has resulted in ______.

A. more time on the road

B. a great waste of fuel

C. even heavier traffic jams

D. increased death and injuries

2.What does “a similar effect” in the Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Reducing traffic jams.

B. Building smart motorways.

C. Setting proper speed limits.

D. Keeping steady traffic flows.

3.What is the author’s attitude towards connected cars?

A. Curious. B. Doubtful.

C. Supportive. D. Disappointed.

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A. The Future of Cars: Wireless Wheels

B. The Future Traffic Management System

C. The Benefits and Problems of Cars

D. The Promising Future of Car Production

NASA is developing the capabilities needed to send humans to an asteroid(小行星)by 2025 and then Mars in the 2030s—goals outlined in NASA’s official documents 2014.

Mars is a rich destination tor scientific discovery and robotic and human exploration as we expand our presence into the solar system.Future exploration could uncover evidence of life,answering one of the fundamental mysteries:Does life exist beyond Earth?

While robotic explorers have studied Mars for more than 40 years,NASA’s path for the human exploration of Mars begins in low-Earth orbit aboard the International Space Station.Astronauts on the orbiting laboratory are helping us prove many of the technologies and communications systems needed for human missions(任务)to deep space,including Mars.The space station also advances our understanding of how the body changes in space and how to protect astronaut health.

Our next step is deep space,where NASA will send a robotic mission to catch and redirect an asteroid to orbit the moon.Astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft will explore the asteroid in the 2020s,returning to Earth with samples.This experience in human spaceflight beyond low-Earth orbit will help NASA test new systems,which we’ll need to send cargo(货物)as part of human missions to Mars.Beginning in FY 2018,NASA’s powerfull Space Launch System(SLS)rocket will enable these "proving ground" missions to test new technologies.Human missions to Mars will rely on Orion and an evolved version of SLS that will be the most powerful launch vehicle ever flown。

A lot of robotic spacecraft and rovers(探测器)already are on and around Mars,greatly increasing our knowledge about the Red Planet and paving the way of future human explorers.The Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover measured radiation on the way to Mars and is sending back radiation data from the surface.This data will help us plan how to protect the astronauts who will explore Mars.Future missions like the Mars 2020 rover,seeking signs of past life,also will demonstrate new technologies that could help astronauts survive on Mars.

Engineers and scientists around the country are working hard to develop the technologies astronauts will use to one day live and work on Mars,and safely return home from the next giant leap for humanity.NASA also is a leader in a Global Exploration Roadmap,working with international partners and the U.S.commercial space industry with human missions to the surface of Mars as the driving goal.

1.It can be learnt from the first three paragraphs that .

A.Mars is the perfect place for scientific discovery and human settlement

B.astronauts’physical changes in the space station should be recorded

C.NASA intends to send robotic explorers and humans to Mars in 2025

D.astronauts in the space station are testing technologies for better life on the Earth

2.The Orion Spacecraft_________.

A.will send cargo to Mars

B.was built to explore low-earth orbit

C.needs SLS rocket to finish its mission

D.will bring back samples of an asteroid

3.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

A.the U.S.commercial space industry is a leader in exploration to Mars.

B.Many protective measures are needed when exploring Mars.

C.NASA is an agency that plans to explore Mars in secret.

D.Curiosity rover is the first rover to be sent to Mars.

4.Which can be the best title of this passage?

A.Future life on Mars

B.Research for the Solar System

C.NASA’s Journey to Mars

D.Exploration of life Beyond Earth

This is the legal part of the show. It's just so everybody knows the rules for Nickelodeon on the Web. Be sure to get your parents to review and discuss these rules with you:

1.All the toys and games here are just for you to play with. You can't sell them,give them to anyone,or pretend you made them. You can't do anything EXCEPT play with them,unless you ask us first and we say it's OK.

We all want nick.com to be a good,clean place to hang out.

3.If you write something that catches our eye in “Write to Nick”on a message board or in a chat room,we might want to use it on the site. By sending in your thoughts and hanging out in the chat rooms,and getting your parent's permission to do so,you and your parents are telling us it's OK to repeat what you say. It's even OK to put it in an advertisement. It means we can use it in any way we want,anywhere,until the end of time.

Remember to ALWAYS check with your parents before you send anything to us. And of course,the folks in the legal office upstairs have their own code for saying all that. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before using this website. This site at nick.com is fully controlled and operated by Nickelodeon Online,a business unit of MTV Networks.
