第三部分 阅读理解(共二节，满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Recently I was asked “Are we anywhere near the day when you can climb into a car on Long Island, program it to take you to your niece’s house in Chicago, hit enter, and after the first hundred yards, once you hit a main road, the car takes over automatically and you just sit back and enjoy the ride?”
It is a question I worry. But I had to answer truthfully, “Absolutely. We are without a doubt near that day.” Look, we’re already doing it with airplanes.
Northrop Grumman’s Global Hawk takes off at an air base in the U.S., climbs to 50,000 feet, flies to Australia, and lands at an Australian air base, where there is a grandstand filled with military officials with no human pilot.
The necessary technology is already here. We have radar that can be tied to cruise (巡航)control and brakes, which automatically adjusts(调整)your speed based on following distance and preprogrammed settings. It’s still a little bit raw, but it does work great. The technology can allow cars and trucks to follow each other in very closely spaced roads.
GPS can also change speed with location. Let’s say you’re in a state with a 75-mph limit and you cross into a state with a 65-mph limit. GPS knows that and adjusts your speed accordingly.
It’s not out of the question to imagine that someday soon you’ll be able to start the car, make proper settings, then turn the front seats around and play cards and eat lunch as if you’re riding on a train. All in perfect comfort and safety, all the way to that niece’s place in Chicago.
If asked to estimate just how far time is, I’d say a working system is ten years out, practice maybe 20 years.
56. The purpose of the question asked in the first passage is ______.
A. to draw readers’ attention to his theory.
B. to introduce the topic to be discussed in the passage.
C. to describe the cars in the future.
D. to prove that his idea is right.
57. What’s the key technology to automatic car driving?
A. The technology of airplanes.
B. The technology to be developed in the future.
C. The technology of radar and GPS.
D. The technology of satellites.
58. What does the author think of the change in car driving?
A. It’s a terrible thing to come.
B. It’s a wonder to drive such a car.
C. It’s a pity to give up the skill of driving.
D. It is very likely to come true in the near future.
59. Which of the following may be the best title for this passage?
A. Driving is dead? B. Cars in the future
C. New technology will change cars? D. Comfortable car driving
B
How to Be a Winner
Sir Steven Redgrave
Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病) . Believing my career was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believe in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”
