题目内容
【题目】— Many doctors and nurses went to Hubei in February.
— Hubei is far from Heilongjiang. It’s ________ the south of China, ________ the south of Henan.
A.in;toB.on;toC.in;on
【答案】C
【解析】
句意:——许多医生和护士在二月去了湖北。 ——湖北离黑龙江很远。它在中国的南部,在河南的南部。
考查介词。in表示在某一地区内的某方位,属于该范围的;to表示在某一地区外部的方位,不属于该范围的且不接壤的;on表示两地是相邻接壤的关系。根据常识可知,湖北省在中国境内,故第一个空应用介词in,B选项可排除;湖北与河南接壤且位于河南南部,故第二个空应用介词on。故选C。
【题目】 What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them are worried about the road ahead.
Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self-driven cars have gotten a traffic ticket (罚单), but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.
These cars are now still in the testing stages (阶段). But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.
The cars are so special that they can take the place of drivers during certain situations. They are able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice objects close by. They can also control the speed if there is danger.
Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals (无线信号) , cameras and GPS, creating a safe self-driven car might be possible. The cause of deadly (致死的) road accidents is usually careless drivers or bad conditions. The self-driven car may be able to prevent these. However, some people don’t like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake does not believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.
Complete the chart according to the passage with only one word for each blank.
