Will there be a time in our lives when cars don’t crash? When we can just sit back and relax and our cars will drive themselves. Auto technology experts say “yes”. And they say that some of those advances may happen quicker than you might think.

They will require the users to input the name of the destination or the complete address of the location that they want to go and the cars’ artificial intelligence takes them there automatically without a driver. They will run on solar power in the daytime and ethanol fuel (乙醇燃料) at night. Toyota, BMW and Honda will completely control the trade of driverless car business together and will have the cheapest driverless cars. Fossil fuels (矿物燃料) will be completely incompatible (不相配的) with these cars.

Driverless cars will not require a driver’s license of any grade to operate. Anyone with basic literacy and computer skills who are at least 16 years of age will be legally allowed to operate the vehicle with absolutely no restrictions. This would give the young users permission to operate the driverless cars on major highways as well as secondary roads without needing a separate classification. In addition to all this, drunken people will be able to use their own automobiles to return home because they are not “driving” the vehicle.

What’s more, car insurance will become obsolete because there will be no more automobile accidents after the year 2025. This is because the driverless car will have all safety methods in place by the car’s artificial intelligence to prevent automobile accidents. Global positioning systems will become mandatory (强制的) in all newly-manufactured cars after 2010, and will be the most important part in the driverless car.

52. Who will not be able to use driverless cars?

　　 A. People with basic literacy and computer skills. 　

　　 B. People who are drunk. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　 C. People without computer skills.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　 D. People without a driver’s license.

53. What will prevent the driverless car from crashing?

　 　　　　　　　　　　　　 A. Artificial intelligence. 　　　　　　 B. Global positioning systems.

　　 C. The people inside. 　　　　　　　　 D. Car insurance.

54. What is the text mainly about?

　 　　　　　　　　　　　　 A. Car safety. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Driverless cars. 　　　　　　

　　 C. The future cars. 　　　　　　　　　　 D. New technology in cars.

55. The underlined word “obsolete” in the last paragraph probably means “　　”.

　 　　　　　　　　　　　　 A. difficult to get　　　　　　　　　　　　 B. quite important 　　　　　　

　　 C. dangerous 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D. out of business

The skier’s part of this story is set on an autumn morning in 1989, when she was in kindergarten. Julia Mancuso would someday be on two Olympic teams or probably more. On Wednesday she will race in the Olympic downhill in the mountain village of San Sicario outside Turin. She is fit and tough and she has a very real chance to win a medal.

But on that day, 17 years ago, she was just a little girl in bed when her mom, Andrea, woke her up and said, “You don’t have to go to school today. We’re going to go out to breakfast and then come back later, OK?”

Julia saw her beautiful house surrounded by police cars. “I didn’t know then what was going on,” Julia recalls. “I just said, ’OK, Mom.’” That was the day the police took her father away and put him in jail for smuggling (走私). The father’s part of this story is set in the village square of the Alpine resort of Sestriere, Italy. Ciro Mancuso, 57, with a full head of gray hair, has come to Italy to watch his daughter ski in the Olympic Games. “This is about Julia, right?” he asks. Yes, it is about Julia. She has seen her father go to jail twice, one for 17 months when she was a child and the other for four years while she was a teenager. Julia has lived with her mother whom she lovingly calls “a great mom who did a great job with us”. (Ciro and Andrea Mancuso had three daughters — Julia is in the middle between April, 25, and Sarah, 16 — and divorced in 1992; Andrea will also be in Italy to watch her daughter ski.) As a young adult, Julia has welcomed her father back. Ciro Mancuso says, “Everything that happened to Julia made her tougher; you see it in the way she competes.”
