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 car has gotten a traffic ticket, bus some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.
These cars are now still in the testing stages. But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.
The car s already have many features(特點)allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice objec ts close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.
Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wir eless(無線電的)signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driven car might be possible.
The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self-driven car may be able to prevent these. However, some people do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn't believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.
51. The main purpose of the first paragraph is to _____.
A. make readers wonder about self-driven cars
B. get readers to pay attention to road safety
C. tell readers to keep away from heavy traffic
52. T he testing self-driven cars need _____ energy to run.
A. solar B. nuclear C. electric
53. From the passage, we know that the testing self-driven cars can already ______.
A, avoid being hit by other vehicles(車輛) on roads
B. control the speed in dangerous situations
C. turn around when getting near objects
54. What might make the self-driven cars run safely according to the passage?
a. e-reading b. wireless signals c. cameras d. GPS
A. a ,b , c B. a, b, d C. b, c, d
55. What is Whit Drake's attitude(態度)toward the safety of the self-driven cars?
A. He has doubt about it B. He believes it completely C. He doesn't care about it.
答案 51-55ACBBA
閱讀理解【2】Billy Dengler, a 14-year-old boy, is in the eighth grade. A month after he was born, Billy’s mother, Terri, noticed that his eyes weren’t quite as big as a normal baby’s. She took Billy to the hospital, and the doctor said Billy would never be able to see.
Although Billy can’t see, he has never let that hold him back or make him different. Billy began teaching himself computer programming by using a screen reader when he was just seven years old. He is a certified Google developer (谷歌認證開發者) now. Google even tried to offer him a job last year when he discovered a problem in one of its systems, but Billy wasn’t old enough.
Billy’s dream school would be Stanford University or MIT, where he could get a very good education in computer science. After he leaves school, whether he will go to work at a company like Google or design a software company of his own is still to be decided. However, he says he will definitely (絕對地) do something great.
