Ⅲ。阅读（共两节，满分50分）

第一届：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert,seeking a million in prize money.To win,they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours.Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at a11,because these vehicles were missing a key Part—drivers.

DARPA,the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency,organized the race as part of a push to deve10p robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called,just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance One had its brake 10ck up in the starting area.Another began by throwing itself onto a wall.Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.

One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence;another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock.The "winner",if there was any,reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long,narrow hole,and the front wheals caught on fire.

"You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things,"says Reinhold Behringer,

who helped design two of the car—size vehicles for a company called Sci—Autonics."Even ants

(蚂蚁) can do a1l these tasks effortlessly.It's very hard for US to put these abilities into our machine".

The robotic vehicles,though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers

and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there's a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.

41. Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because ______.

   A. they did not have any human guidance

   B. the road was not familiar to the drivers

   C. the distance was too long for the vehicles

   D. the prize money was unattractive to the drivers

42. DARPA organized the race in order to ______.

   A. raise money for producing more robotic vehicles   

   B. push the development of vehicle industry

43. From the passage we know "robotic vehicles" are a kind of machines that ______.

   A. can do effortlessly whatever tasks living things can

   B. can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limit

   C. can show off their ability to turn themselves upside down

   D. can move from place to place without being driven by human beings

   A. for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficulties

   B. for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie on the table

   C. for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple problem that a little child can solve

   D. for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off its face
