First, car makers wanted to take the human out of driving. Now, motorcycle manufacturers (制造商)want to do the same. But just as the driverless car movement has faced skepticism, it's not entirely clear that the world needs autonomous motorcycles.

What would a self-driving motorcycle do? It would be designed to let the rider sit back and relax while the machine drives by itself. Manufacturers have actually been creating and improving prototypes (原型)of self-driving motorcycles for years, and they're only just now beginning to share them with the public. For instance, AB Dynamics and AutoRD released the Autonomous BMW Cl. It comes with autonomous software, GPS, and re-balancing technology.

Yamaha's Motoroid is a model that uses artificial intelligence and self-balancing technology. The Motoroid sounds very futuristic, but it can't drive on its own. It needs a rider to make turns. Another example of an autonomous-light motorcycle is Honda's Riding Assist-e, which can change the center of gravity autonomously. However, like the Motoroid, it's not completely self-riding and isn't ready for a highway on its own.

Safety concerns for autonomous motorcycles are similar to those that trouble self-driving cars Firstly, the autonomous system may make a mistake and endanger the rider. Self-driving cars have an unfortunate record of running red lights and causing accidents. Professor Adam says, "So one can be forgiven for worrying about the safety of a two-wheeled speed machine with no one behind the handlebars. '' Secondly, there's the question of responsibility: Who is at fault if a self-driving bike crashes into another car? More importantly, it's not easy to satisfy the official regulations before autonomous motorcycles ride on the road. And to develop the industry will cost billions of dollars.

But there's the biggest problem with all of these motorcycles. One of the joys of driving motorcycles is the driving. It seems unlikely that a rider, like a high-speed motorcycle collector who loves the thrill of turning around corners, will give up the experience of the ride.

The prototypes for self-riding motorcycles are here, and manufacturers are busy putting them to the test, but it might be a while before we see them on the open road.

1.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A.Manufacturers' competition with each other is quite fierce.

B.Manufacturers are quite creative when making driverless cars.

C.Manufacturers are very optimistic about self-driving motorcycles.

D.Manufacturers have made some progress in promoting self-driving motorcycles.

2.The examples of Yamaha's Motoroid and Honda's Riding Assist-e show that 　　　　 .

A.autonomous motorcycles still have a long way to go

B.Yamaha and Honda compete with each other fiercely

C.autonomous motorcycles have a big improvement in safety

D.Yamaha and Honda have defeated other autonomous motorcycle makers

3.What Professor Adam said in the 4th paragraph probably means _______.

A.autonomous motorcycle should obey traffic regulations

B.it's convenient and safe to ride an autonomous motorcycle

C.mistakes made by autonomous motorcycles can be forgiven

D.it's normal that autonomous motorcycles' safety is doubted

4.What is the biggest challenge of self-driving motorcycles?

A.They are unable to appeal to many riders.

B.They can't guarantee the riders, safety.

C.They can't suit the official regulations.

D.They are too costly to produce.

5.Which of the following statements would the author agree with?

A.Self-riding motorcycles will be very popular one day.

B.Self-riding motorcycles are necessary to social development.

C.Users are likely to lose fun when riding self-riding motorcycles.

D.People will be fond of self-riding motorcycles for its convenience.

Four out of the 48 self-driving cars on public roads in California have been involved in accidents in the last eight months, according to the state's Department of Motor Vehicles.

The agency began issuing permits for the testing of self-driving vehicles in September 2014.

Three of the four cars belonged to Google, the fourth to parts supplier Delphi.

Both firms denied their vehicles had been at fault.

Under Californian law, details of car accidents remain secret.

However, Google said its driverless cars had never been the cause of an accident and that the majority of "minor fender-benders(擦撞)" had been in the form of rear-end(后尾) collisions from other drivers.

"Safety is our highest priority. Since the start of our programme six years ago, we've driven nearly a million miles automatically, on both freeways and city streets, without causing a single accident," said a spokesperson.

Delphi told the BBC its vehicle was hit while still at a crossroads and was in human driving mode at the time.

"A police report indicates the fault of the accident is with the second vehicle, not Delphi. No-one was hurt in the incident," said a spokesperson.

An unknown source told the Associated Press that two of the accidents occurred while the vehicles were occupied by human drivers, and all four vehicles were going very slowly at the time of the collisions.

Chris Urmson, director of Google's self-driving car programme, wrote in a blog post that there have been 11 accidents involving Google cars since the project began six years ago but not one has been caused by one of its vehicles.

"Rear-end crashes are the most frequent accidents in America, and often there's little the driver in front can do to avoid getting hit," he said.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Self-driving car accidents.　　 B. Motor vehicle problems.

C. Self-driving vehicle problems.　　 D. Traffic accidents in California.

2.We can learn from the passage that the self-driving cars ______.

A. caused the accidents when driven by human drivers

B. hit other cars and caused the accidents

C. were responsible for the accidents

D. were knocked into from behind

3.The passage intends to tell us that the self-driving cars ______.

A. are just road killers　　 B. need to be improved

C. are in good quality　　 D. shouldn’t be produced

高三英语书面表达中等难度题查看答案及解析

One afternoon I was driving along the narrow dirt road. Ahead of me was a small red car with two people in the front seats. You can’t go very fast on a dirt road so I was driving carefully after it.

As we did, I began to watch the car in front of me. The driver was a middle-aged man with thinning hair, and beside him sat a woman with long, wavy blond hair. I could see the man’s face because he kept turning and talking and talking to the woman, but I couldn’t see her face because she never turned to look at him and answer.

As we drove along, the man turned again and again, talking to the woman. He leaned(靠) toward her and he smiled. But she sat without movement or response, staring straight ahead. She never once looked in his direction, and I wondered why.

I supposed of course that they were fighting. The long blond hair suggested someone beautiful. I thought she might be too coldhearted, the way a beautiful woman can usually be. I thought that the man might be her husband, or her lover, and that he was pleading with her. I thought she was turning cold to him: perhaps she was ending things completely, and he was trying to win her back.

We both slowed down to cross a little stone bridge, and once past it, on the straight, he turned again to her. I wondered then if I’d gotten it wrong. The man was definitely middle-aged, and the woman’s long, thick blond hair suggested youth. Perhaps the man was not her husband but her father. Maybe she was sitting silently still, not heartlessly. Or maybe she was weeping and unable to look at her father.

I watched them closely, trying to be sure. The man turned to her, smiling. She still did not look at him. We reached the stop sign at the end of Mount Holly Road, and the man turned once more to the blond woman. This time, at last, she turned toward him. She leaned over and licked his nose with her tongue. She was a golden retriever, a large dog used in hunting.

1.The real relationship of the two sitting in the front seats of the small red car is _______.

A. a husband and an angry wife

B. a loving father and a weeping daughter

C. a master and a big dog

D. lovers in quarrel

2.We can infer from the text that______.

A. the author followed the man out of curiosity at the very beginning

B. the man couldn’t match the woman beside him

C. the man loved the one sitting beside him very much

D. the man was a good husband or a good father

3.The underlined sentence in the text means_____.

A. he was begging her

B. he was playing with her

C. he was quarrelling with her

D. he was joking with her

4.Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A. A Poor Middle-aged Man

B. An Unexpected Companion

C. A Beautiful Proud Woman

D. An Unforgettable Experience
