二、阅读理解（16分）（2018·金华市金东区模拟）
What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them are worried about the road ahead.
Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless cars, which are currently in the testing stages. If the tests are successful, we could buy an electric, self-driving car very soon. But how is it possible for a car to drive itself?
Cars already have many features allowing them to take over drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down
7
when they detect objects close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions, such as snow or slippery（滑的） roads.
Other features have also changed the way drivers react to some situations. Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driving car might be possible.
The self-driving car may be the answer to lowering the number of deathly accidents caused by careless drivers or dangerous conditions. However, there are still some people who do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesn’t believe these cars are safe. He thinks the possibility of the technology making a mistake will be too high.
（ ）1. According to the passage, drivers are NOT supposed to__________ in a self-driving car.
A. read B. sleep C. dance D. listen to music
（ ）2. The underlined phrase “take over” in Paragra-ph 3 probably means “__________ ”.
A. teach B. replace C. protect D. check
（ ）3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Google has produced and sold self-driving cars.
B. It is impossible to create a safe self-driving car now.
C. Self-driving cars will go out of control on slippery roads.
D. Self-driving cars might lower the number of deathly accidents.
（ ）4. What attitude does Whit Drake have towards the self-driving cars?
A. Hopeful. B. Trusty. C. Negative. D. Disinterested.

My Home Robot in the Future
With the development of science, it’s possible to have a home robot in the future.
What will a home robot look like in the future? Well, it might look like a real man, with two big and bright eyes as well as two ears. Or it can be like a lovely cartoon character. Anyway, it must be very clever.
A home robot can do many things for my family. First of all, it can cook delicious food. So my mother doesn’t need to be busy preparing meals for us. Also it can do some cleaning and washing. What’s more, it can play chess with us. Maybe it can sing beautiful songs and dance with us, too.
If we have such a home robot, my family and I can have more free time to do other things instead of spending much time on housework. And I will not feel lonely when I am alone at home because I have the company of the robot. It will be a nice friend and also a family member to us.
