15.Your next ca might drive itself.After years of trials on city streets,driverless vehicles are now nearing the live phase.Last moth,a driverless bus began carrying passengers through Lyon,F(xiàn)rance,Most in the automobile industry think self-driving vehicles will be on the road by 2020or before.
Driverless cars will at first be huddled with human-driven cars.But the first places where they will become dominant(統(tǒng)治的)are dense urban areas-precisely the spots most damaged by the automobile age.Many advanced cities are already reducing the role of human-driven cargo.Driverless cars will quicken that process and will bring us enormous benefits.
Driverless cars will reduce accidents by around 90percent.That's big-the annual death toll on the world's roads is about 1.2million a year.Pollution and carbon emissions will drop,because urban driverless cars will be electric.The old,otherwise they would stay at home most of the time and the disabled and teenagers will suddenly gain mobility.
On the other hand,driverless cars will bring catastrophe.The best thing about the automobile age was that it employed tens of millions of people to make,market,insure and drive vehicles.Over the next 20years,the mostly low-skilled men who now drive trucks,taxis and buses will see their jobs reduced.Carmakers are especially scared.The few cars of the future might be made by tech companies such as Apple,Baidu and Google.Imaging the impact on Germany,where the automotive sector is the largest industry.
Dramatic change is coming,and driverless cars could arrive by 2020.But governments have barely begun thinking about it.Only 6percent of the biggest US cities have factored them into their long-term planning.
A decade ago anyone hardly saw the Smartphone coming.It has bought an epidemic of mass addiction.Let's hope we do a better job of handling the driverless car.

分析 本文是一篇社會文化類閱讀.主要介紹了了無人駕駛汽車.著重介紹了無人駕駛汽車的優(yōu)點(diǎn)和缺點(diǎn).但政府還沒有認(rèn)真對待無人駕駛汽車.
解答 25-28 BBCD
25.B.推理判斷題.A.show up出現(xiàn); B.exist together 擠在一起;C.get rid of擺脫;D.take the place of代替;根據(jù)"Driverless cars will at first be huddled with human-driven cars."可知無人駕駛的汽車會和有人駕駛的汽車擠在一起.故選B..
26.B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"Pollution and carbon emissions will drop,because urban driverless cars will be electric."可知無人駕駛的汽車會減少污染和碳排放是因?yàn)樗鼈兪怯呻娏︱?qū)動的.故選B.
27.C.判斷作者態(tài)度題.根據(jù)"Pollution and carbon emissions will drop,because urban driverless cars will be electric."和"On the other hand,driverless cars will bring catastrophe."可知作者認(rèn)為無人駕駛的汽車會減少污染和碳排放但它也會帶來大災(zāi)難,所以作者對無人駕駛的汽車的態(tài)度是客觀的.故選C.
28.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"But governments have barely begun thinking about it.Only 6percent of the biggest US cities have factored them into their long-term planning."可知領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人還沒有認(rèn)真對待無人駕駛汽車.故選D.
