二、阅读理解
(2018·山东济南天桥一模)Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computerdriven driverless cars have appeared on the roads in Shenzhen.Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is there.
So how? The cars have sensors(感应器) all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras，and satellite navigation systems(卫星导航系统) are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in
8
all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.
Sound like your idea of heaven? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while “driving” would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn't 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 driverless 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 driverless 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 driverless car—but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads.
1．When using a driverless 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
2．From Paragraph 3 we know that driverless cars .
A．wouldn't be seen on the roads
8
B．would break the rules
C．drove less safely than people
D．have many advantages
3．The underlined word “potentially” in Paragraph 4 means .
A．possibly B．politely
C．luckily D．successfully
4．According to the last paragraph, the writer thinks future driverless cars will .
A．cause more accidents B．be less expensive
C．use less energy D．run much faster
5．Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A．A Driverless Car
B．How to Drive a Car
C．Ways to Type the Address
D．I'd Want a Driverless Car

Today, as a greener means of transportation, bikesharing is becoming more and more popular in many cities. It's known that it has many advantages. So it's enjoyed by lots of people.
First of all, it's very convenient for people to go somewhere. Also, it helps to reduce the traffic pressure. There will be less pollution because of bikesharing. Besides, bikesharing helps people take more exercise. In this way, it's helpful to keep people healthy.
However, it also brings some problems. For example, some people throw the bikes away after using them. Some people even damage them and some bikes are stolen.
In my opinion, everyone should follow the rules to use these bikes. As long as we take good care of the bikes, our life will be better and better.
