Question

【题目】Google and Toyota（丰田）have worked together to create a new smart car. It can run on the road without a driver. It drives itself.

The self-driving（自驾的）car hasn’t been on sale to the public, so we don’t know how much it costs. Another thing that most people want to know is whether it will be safe enough to run on the road.

The self-driving car uses electricity as its power, and it can’t drive very quickly—the top speed would be 25 miles per hour. It is actually controlled by a computer system in the car. The system keeps on collecting information by some video cameras inside the car. A computer receives the information and decides what to do.

“The self-driving car has only buttons (按钮) for go and stop, so it’s very easy to use.” an engineer of Google says, “It will make car accidents less and the world safer.” The self-driving car has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles in California, and it has only gotten into two accidents by human mistake.

【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了谷歌和丰田开发的新型智能汽车，该汽车以电能为原料，不需要司机。目前，该汽车正在检测中，还未公开出售。

【1】题意：这款新型智能车花费多少钱？考查细节理解题。根据第二段第一句 “The self-driving car hasn’t been on sale to the public, so we don’t know how much it costs.”可知该自驾车并没有向公众出售，故填We don’t know。

【2】题意：自驾汽车用什么作为它的能源？考查细节理解题。由第三段第一句“The self-driving car uses electricity as its power...”，可知填Electricity./It uses electricity as its power.。

【3】题意：自驾汽车由什么来控制？考查细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“It is actually controlled by a computer system in the car.”，可知填A computer system in the car.。

【4】题意：是谁说“它将会使汽车事故减少，世界更加安全”？考查细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“‘The self-driving car...easy to use.’ an engineer of Google says, ‘It will make car accidents less and the world safer.’”可知是谷歌的一个工程师说的。故填An engineer of Google does.。

【5】题意：这辆自驾汽车为什么出了两起事故？考查细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“The self-driving car has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles in California, and it has only gotten into two accidents by human mistake. ”，可知填Because of human mistake.。
