Later next year, Beijing will start the country's first driverless (无人驾驶) subway trains. The Yanfang Line-connecting part of Fangshan district to the city center-will be the first to try out driverless technology.
The Beijing public transportation authority says the new trains will make the metro system better. They will have an upgraded (升级的 ) operating system. They will reach 80km per hour and carry more than l ,200 passengers.
The development of driverless technology is opening up in other areas of transport. Driverless cars have long been a dream for many. And in the past few years，innovation(创新) has speeded up. Big car companies，including Volkswagon and Toyota, are competing with other companies, such as Google.
But with no tracks(轨道)to run on，how will driverless cars be safe? The technology that is used is made up of many sensors (传感器) ,including radar(雷达) 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，too，like other cars and people.
Pilot-free planes have also become a hot technology topic. Yet while these types of technology are seen as better and safer，they do have disadvantages. Automation(自动化) means these types of transport will heavily rely on computers. Just like humans，they make mistakes-although less often.
And like much1 of technology，it makes many workers lose their jobs. What will happen to the future bus drivers and pilots？Which of the following about the Yanfang Line trains is NOT true?
| A．There will be no driver on the trains. |
| B．They’ll have an upgraded operating system. |
| C．The speed will be at least 80 km per hour. |
| D．They’ll carry more than 1,200 passengers. |
What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
| A．Driverless technology is a hot topic. |
| B．Driverless technology has been developed well. |

| D．Big car companies are competing with each other. |
What does the underlined word This refer to(指代) in the fourth paragraph?
| A．The sensor. | B．The technology. |
| C．The radar. | D．The CPS. |
What can we get from the passage?
| A．pilot-free planes are much safer than driverless cars. |
| B．Automation makes transport more difficult to deal with. |
| C．Driverless technology has it’s disadvantages. |
| D．Driverless technology will not need workers any more. |

Just as they were about to begin eating, the father said, “My boy, I have spent a lot of money on you to send you to Oxford. Now I want to know what you have learned.” The son smiled and said, “Father, I have studied a science which can prove that these two chickens on the plate are really three chickens.” “Well,” said the father, “This is something I would like very much to know.” “There are two chickens on the plate,” said the student. He took one of the chickens in his hand and said, “Here is one more; and one and two makes three.

Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.
Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.
Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.
Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.
Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.
Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.
As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either. A plover protects its young from a predator by___________.
| A．getting closer to its young |
| B．driving away the adult predator |
| C．leaving its young in another nest |
| D．pretending to be injured |
By "Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky" (paragraph 5), the author means_______.
| A．chimps are ready to attack others |
| B．chimps are sometimes dishonest |
| C．chimps are jealous of the winners |
| D．chimps can be selfish too |
Which of the following is true according to the passage?
| A．Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others. |
| B．The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand. |
| C．Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests. |
| D．Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back. |
Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
| A．Do animals lie? |
| B．Does Mother Nature fool animals? |
| C．How do animals learn to lie? |
| D．How does honesty help animals survive? |
