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?

THIS year the US Mint will honor one of the country’s most famous writers.

“Mark Twain”，the pen name of Samuel Clemens(1835-1911) is loved by American readers for his novels Tom Sawyer(1876) and The Adventures of Huckberry Finn(1844).

Now he is going to have his life and work commemorated(纪念) with special gold and silver coins.

But does Twain need to be commemorated? It doesn’t seem like people in the US will forget him. Twain once joked that a lack(缺少)of money is the root of all evil(邪恶)” but a lack of money with Twain’s famous face on it wouldn’t have made people forget about him.

The Adventures of Huckberry Finn is thought to be his greatest works.

Motherless Huck Finn is a young boy who shows the spirit of freedom. But it could be said that Huck’s freedom really comes from Huck wanting to fly. When Huck gets away from his violent(暴力的) father，he isn’t really looking for freedom，but survival.

It’s even more of a problem for a slave. Jim，the escaped(逃跑的) slave who Huck helps， makes Huck’s life seem even better. It’s easier not to be able to deal with someone who wants to force you to go to school than to have to fight a law that says you are a piece of property(财产).

Huck and Jim’s friendship，as shown by Mark Twain，is one of the great stories in American literature because it shows a white character，Huck，who gets an idea of the African American experience.

Mark Twain is famous and would still be famous without any special coins. Anyway，the coins could be a reason to look again at the work of a writer who got under the skin of the US in the 19th century.

With the race issue(种族问题) far from dead in the US today，perhaps Twain still has something to teach today’s readers.

1.How many novels is mentioned written by Mark Twain in this passage?

A.One B.Two C.Three D.Four

2.Why is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn considered Twain’s greatest works?

A.It talks about how a black slave runs away from his violent owner.

B.It describes an everlasting friendship between people of different races.

C.It describes the social problem that a lack of money is the root of all evil.

D.It talks about a white American understanding the African American experience.

3.According to the passage， which statement is NOT true?

A.Huck gets away from his father for survival.

B.Jim escapes from his slave owner for freedom.

C.Twain dug deeply into American society of his times.

D.Without the special coins， he’ll probably be forgotten.

4.The underlined phrase “far from dead” probably means _______.

A.still being there. B.Becoming more serious.

C.Being in danger. D.Gone for a long time.

5.What’s the main purpose of the article?

A.To tell the story of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

B.To tell readers about the special coins created to honor Mark Twain.

C.To explore why the US still remembers and honors Mark Twain.

D.To draw readers’ attention to the many race issues in the US today.

Because of the COVID-19, this year's summer holiday will not start until the middle of __________(七月).

九年级英语根据中/英文提示填空简单题查看答案及解析

This year the US will honour(纪念) one of the country’s most famous writers—Mark Twain (1835-1910). Most readers know that his real name was Samuel Longhome Clemens, but how many know where the pen name “Mark Twain” came from?

The answer shows Clemens’ colorful early life before he became a writer. “Mark Twain” was the cry shouted on a ship when the ship entered a part of a river that was two fathoms (6 feet) deep. “Twain” is an old-fashioned way of saying “two”. Twain trained as a ship pilot on the Mississippi river for two years, a time that he wrote about in the humourousLife on the Mississippi (1883).

The famous river would become an important theme in many of his works—who could forget the journey of the Huck and Jim along it in his most famous book. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884)?

With little education, he had to teach himself how to write stories. Whenever possible, he would go to public libraries. There he spent much time reading and thinking, which greatly helped him with his writing.

On the other hand, his life experiences gave him wonderful material to write about and attract readers. Twain wrote in a style that has been called “local colour” because it shows great knowledge of local people and their customs.

This gift is very clear in the two books for which Twain is still celebrated today. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876) and its follow-up The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, which many people call “The Great American Novel”.

The most amazing invention in the book is the voice of Huck himself. Huck did not enjoy schooling. It shows in the way he uses language, in a spoken style. Only a master like Twain could copy the way a young southern boy talked so well.

1. What does the underlined word “gift” mean in the passage?

A. Twain’s talent for self-teaching.

B. Twain’s “local colour” writing style.

C. Twain’s good sense of humour.

D. Twain’s experiences as a ship pilot

2.According to the passage, what is the best part of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn?

A. The deep social meaning.　　

B. The exciting life experiences.

C. The special way that Huck talks.

D. The nice view of the Mississippi.

3. Which is the most suitable place in the passage for the sentence. “Twain did not come from the writer’s background you might expect”?

A. At the beginning of Paragraph 2.　

B. At the beginning of Paragraph 3.

C. At the beginning of Paragraph 4.

D. At the beginning of Paragraph 5.

4. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Mark Twain’s career as a great writer.　　

B. Mark Twain’s interest in describing local life.

C. Mark Twain’s achievements in American literature field.

D. Mark Twain’s life experiences which influenced his writing.

People usually start collecting cards because they are small and light and you do not need much space for them.

In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can only buy telephone cards, and some cards cost up to ￡4,000.The first Japanese card has a value of about ￡28,000.
