Question

【题目】 Later this year, Beijing will start the country’s first driverless(无人驾驶 ) subway trains. The Yanfang Line-connecting part of Fangshan district center-will be the first to try out driverless technology.

According to the experts(专家) in public transportation, the new trains will make the underground railway system(系统) better. They will have an upgraded(升级的)operating system. They will reach 80km per hour and carry more than 1,200 passengers.

The development of driverless technology is opening up in other areas of transport(交通工具). Driverless cars have been a dream for many people. And in the past few years, big car companies, including Volkswagen and Toyota, have made lots of studies while they are competing with other companies, such as Google.

But with not racks(轨道) to run on, how will driverless cars be safe? This technology is made up of many sensors(传感器) including radar and GPS. This gives the car an exact position in the world, as well as what’s around it. It also allows the car to see moving objects(目标), like other cars and people.

Pilot-free planes have also become a hot technology topic. Yet while these new kinds of technology are seen as better and safer, they do have problems. They cannot work at all without the help of computers. Just like humans, computers make mistakes-although less often. And like much of technology, it makes many workers lose their jobs. What will happen to the future bus drivers and pilots?

【1】Will Beijing start the country’s first driverless subway trains?

【2】How many passengers will the driverless subway train carry?

【3】What did the big companies do about the driverless technology?

【4】Why will driverless cars be safe?

【5】What does the writer mainly tell us in the last paragraph?

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】Yes, it will.

【2】More than 1,200 passengers.

【3】They have made/made lots of studies.

【4】Because the technology is made up of many sensors including radar and GPS.

【5】The new kinds of technology have problems.

【解析】

北京今年将启动中国首个无人驾驶地铁列车。本文简单介绍了无人驾驶技术以及其利弊。

【1】题干为：北京将启动国内首列无人驾驶地铁列车吗？根据“Later this year, Beijing will start the country’s first driverless(无人驾驶 ) subway trains.”可知，今年晚些时候，北京将启动国内首列无人驾驶地铁列车。故填Yes, it will.

【2】题干为：无人驾驶的地铁能载多少乘客？根据“They will reach 80km per hour and carry more than 1,200 passengers.”可知，载客量将超过1200人。故填More than 1,200 passengers.

【3】题干为：大公司对无人驾驶技术做了什么？根据“…big car companies, including Volkswagen and Toyota, have made lots of studies”可知，大型汽车公司进行了大量研究。故填They have made/made lots of studies.

【4】题干为：为什么无人驾驶汽车是安全的？根据“This technology is made up of many sensors(传感器) including radar and GPS.”可知，因为这项技术是由包括雷达和GPS在内的许多传感器组成的，所以它是安全的。故填Because the technology is made up of many sensors including radar and GPS.

【5】题干为：作者在最后一段主要告诉了我们什么？分析最后一段内容可知，本段讲述的是这项新技术会带来的问题。故填The new kinds of technology have problems.
