Google and Toyota（丰田）have worked together to create a new smart car. It can run on the road without a driver. It drives itself.

The self-driving（自驾的）car hasn’t been on sale to the public, so we don’t know how much it costs. Another thing that most people want to know is whether it will be safe enough to run on the road.

The self-driving car uses electricity as its power, and it can’t drive very quickly—the top speed would be 25 miles per hour. It is actually controlled by a computer system in the car. The system keeps on collecting information by some video cameras inside the car. A computer receives the information and decides what to do.

“The self-driving car has only buttons (按钮) for go and stop, so it’s very easy to use.” an engineer of Google says, “It will make car accidents less and the world safer.” The self-driving car has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles in California, and it has only gotten into two accidents by human mistake.

1.How much does this new kind of smart car cost?

________________________________________

2.What does self-driving car use as its power?

________________________________________

3.What is the self-driving car controlled by?

________________________________________

4.Who says “It will make car accidents less and the world safer.”?

________________________________________

5.Why did the self-driving car get into two accidents?

A ban on smoking in most public places goes into effect(效果) on Sunday in China - home to a third of the world's smokers. That means around 300 million smokers will no longer be allowed to light their cigarettes in the "enclosed public places." These include hotels, restaurants, theaters and public transport waiting rooms. The ban does not cover offices or factories.

The campaign is aimed at controlling(控制) the number of deaths from smoking-related illnesses, running at a million a year. According to the World Health Organization, more than 3,000 people die every day in China because of smoking. Health experts also hope it will help Chinese to raise the knowledge of the dangers of smoking.

But the new rules have been criticized because they do not include punishments(处罚) for those who choose not to obey them. Most people worry that Chinese smoking ban may have little effect.

Business owners often hate rules that force(强迫) them to ban smoking on their restaurants, bar, cafe..., because many customers(顾客) do not like the rules and complain. Often you find people smoking at the next table while you are eating your meal or having a drink in a bar.

It appears that many Chinese people don’t know the dangers of smoking. Research suggests only one in four knows the harm(害处) cigarettes or second-hand smoke can cause.

At the same time the government makes a lot of money from the sales of cigarettes by the state-owned firms that make and sell all tobacco products throughout the country.

A. 禁令                           B. 责骂                         C. 罚款

2. Every year ________ people died in China from smoking-related illnesses.

4. We can find ________ reasons in the passage to explain why people worry about the effect of the ban.

A. three                           B. four                          C. five

5.. The best title for this passage is ________.

The air pollution was so bad in Harbin, in China, on October 21,2013 that the city had to close roads and schools, and cancel* hundreds of flights from its airport.

A major development to self-driving cars may change the way we will drive in the future. Google, the leading company in self-driving technology, has changed its develop plan. It had driverless cars built by car factories, but now it will start building its own cars.

Google has started to build some kinds of experimental electric self- driving cars that look like a Smart car or Fiat 500. There is no steering wheel(方向盘)，gas pedal or brake. The only things a human passenger controls are a red “e-stop” button(按钮) for fear stops and a start button. The car’s only “friendly” face is designed to make it help people accept self-driving technology.

Google workers took part in a long experiment, in which they used self-driving cars for their usual travel to work. No accident happened, but Google’s heads realized that depending on a human passenger to drive in an emergency(紧急情况) wouldn’t work because they may be reading, working , or sleeping. Now the self-driving car drives by itself if the driver takes his hands off the wheel for over ten seconds.

Google’s self-driving cars are now limited(限定) to a speed of 25 miles per hour for safety reasons. The cars aren’t allowed to drive on highways. However, a Google engineer said that once the cars are solved to run safely, we can drive at the speed of 50, even 80 miles an hour.

Google recently announced that its cars had covered 700,000 miles of public roads, and they were now running in busy city streets. People who love self-driving cars say this will improve transport by making roads safer, cutting down accident, and making less pollution.

Of course, there’s no need to look for parking at a crowded shopping mall. Instead, users could let their self-driving cars drop them off to park itself. A mother who took a test ride said that having the car would allow her more time to catch up with her son. The cars could also allow people who　 might not be able to drive to enjoy the hand-free driving. And drunk driving? Not a problem. It is　 very likely that by 2020, driverless cars will be common. Do you believe so?

1.What equipment do the self-driving cars have?

A. A gas pedal.　　　　　　　　 B. A brake.

C. A steering wheel.　　　　 D. An “e-stop” button and a start button

2.How fast can people drive a self-driving car now?

A. 25 miles an hour.　　　　　 B. 50 miles an hour.

C. 80 miles an hour.　　　　　 D. 100 miles an hour.

3.What has Google company already done?

A.Google has changed its development plan and helped other factories make cars.

B.Google has already had car-testing experiments in all the states in the US.

C.Google has realized some problems and tried to solve them.

D.Google has asked its own workers to buy the cars and travel to work.

4. Which advantage of self-driving cars is not mentioned ?

A.They can start the engine by itself and make people’s hands completely free.

B.They can help to solve air pollution and reduce car accident.

C.They can park by themselves and make mothers look after young kids easily.

D.They can help those disabled people to enjoy the driving.

5.What will happen if emergency happens when someone is driving a driverless car?

A.If the driver presses the “e-stop” button, the car will drive by itself at once to keep safe.

B.If the driver is reading, working or sleeping, he can’t handle the situation in time.

C.The car’s friendly face will work and help the driver accept the situation and stay calm.

D.The self-driving car will break the speed limit and run at a speed that the driver tells it.

Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a lttle far from you, living in a "smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think.

Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a "telepresence system(远程遥控系统)-- allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators ( 自动扶梯 ) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.

The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.

About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener, said Dan Hill, head of a research company.
