Sound like your idea of heaven? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while \ have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people—they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.
However, there are many drawbacks of driver-less cars. Computers would have difficulties making ethical(道德的) decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun—I'd miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be
made—should children, or drunk people be allowed in a driver-less car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?
I'm not certain I'd want a driver-less car—but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads.
76. When using a driver-less car, you need only ________.
A. use satellite navigation systems B. read road signs carefully C. put the address into the computer D. take photos with cameras 77. From Paragraph 3 we know that driver-less cars ________. A. wouldn‘t be seen on the roads B. would break the rules C. drove less safely than people D. have many advantages
78. The underlined word ―potentially‖ in Paragraph 4 means ________. A. possibly B. politely C. luckily D. successfully
79. According to the last paragraph, the writer thinks future driver-less cars will ________. A. cause more accidents B. be less expensive C. use less energy D. run much faster
80. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. A driver-less car B. How to drive a car
C. Ways to type the address D. I'd want a driver-less car (C)
A new rubbish sorting system(垃圾分类系统) has been put into use in Fangchengyuan
Community in Beijing. Local people not only sort their rubbish, but also put QR codes(二维码) on it.
\, I will get reward points to exchange for small gifts and even some money, ‖ one of the local people told reporters. ―It's really creative and encouraging.\
This smart system has been carried out in 350 communities in Beijing. The capital of China has joined a list of cities in the country that take action to support rubbish sorting. For example, Shenzhen and Shanghai have made laws to punish people and organizations for not sorting rubbish correctly.
China produces quite a lot of rubbish every year. Much of the rubbish is buried(填埋) in soil or burned without being sorted. Landfills(填埋场) take up a lot of land and have a risk of polluting the soil and water nearby. And burning rubbish can produce harmful gases. Through rubbish sorting, we can reduce the use of landfills and air pollution.
What's more, rubbish sorting saves resources, which could bring economic benefits(经济利
益). For example, a ton of waste paper can be reused to make about 850kg of paper, saving 17 trees and 50 percent of water. Because of their benefits, some countries have developed successful sorting systems.
Japan has a strict and detailed system. When people throw away a water bottle, the cap, the wrapper(包装纸) and the bottle itself have to go into three different bins. Every year, families receive special rubbish sorting timetables and directions from their local governments. They are advised to follow the timetables and directions when they throw away rubbish.
In Australia, every family is provided with three rubbish bins—the red lid(盖子) bin for ―general waste‖ like food and plastic bags, the yellow lid bin for ―recycling‖ like steel and glass,
and the green lid bin for ―green waste‖ such as grass and leaves. On the streets, the bins are printed
with pictures of the things that are allowed inside. It makes recycling quite easy.
81. Local people in Fangchengyuan Community will get________ if they use the new system. A. a new computer. B. a rubbish car. C. a lot of money. D. some small gifts. 82. Which of the following is NOT the consequence(后果) of burying rubbish? A. Polluting soil. B. Protecting environment.
C. Polluting water. D. Taking up a lot of land. 83. Paragraph 5 mainly tells us ________.
A. how to save resources B. the benefits of rubbish sorting C. how to reuse paper D. the development of sorting systems
84. From Paragraph 6 and Paragraph 7, we know that ________ in Japan and Australia. A. every family has different sorting timetables and directions B. most of the people are not willing to obey the rules at all C. the governments take action to advise people to sort rubbish
D. the bins on the streets and at home are printed the same pictures 85. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Beijing has created a new rubbish sorting system with QR codes.
B. Rubbish burying in landfills is as popular as rubbish sorting in bins. C. Shenzhen and Shanghai only made laws to support rubbish sorting.
D. The strict and detailed system makes recycling quite hard in Australia . 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题 共40分) Ⅶ.选词填空( 10 分)
