More and more car makers are introducing smart cars that can drive themselves. But as these cars take to the
streets, we have to ask: are auto-pilot (自动领航) cars a step into a better future, or are they a step we’re not readyto take?
Not long ago, cars that drive themselves were just a dream. But now, with smart car makers like XPeng, Tesla
and Xiaomi, that dream is closer to reality. Supporters of auto-pilotcars say that they can make our roads much
safer and make it easier to travel. Most car accidents happen because people make mistakes or get sleepy, but the
computers on cars don’t get tired. Many believe that self-driving cars can also help traffic move better and give
people more time to do fun things while traveling.
However, even car makers admit that self-driving technology is not perfect—especially with the busy streets,
traffic lights, and all other different drivers it has to deal with. People worry about the decisions smart cars would
make in uncommon situations. Some think it is easier for human drivers to forget the possible danger in driving.
★ Many drivers still remember the accident in 2021, where a human driver fell asleep behind the wheel and the
auto pilot made a wrong decision. What’s more, they are nervous about the personal information these cars might
collect.
The discussion about self-driving cars is about technology, safety, and how we’ll live in the future. We’ll keep
discussing if they’re good for us. Will self-driving cars become common, or will they remind us to be careful with
new technology? We’ll see what the future holds.
61．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A．The history of auto-pilot cars. B．Supporters’ opinions about auto-pilot cars.
C．Auto-pilot cars are a dream come true. D．The possible danger of self-driving cars.
62．According to paragraph 3, self-driving cars might ________.
A．make bad decisions in difficult situations
B．stop all kinds of car accidents from happening
C．make driving fun and relaxing for most drivers
D．keep our personal information safe
63．Which of the following can be put in ________?
A．The technology is too expensive for most people.
B．People believe in these cars too much sometimes.
C．Auto-pilot technology makes drivers tired.
D．Self-driving cars do not make many mistakes.
64．The underlined word “they” refers to________.
A．human mistakes B．the discussions
C．computers on cars D．self-driving cars
65．What’s the purpose (目的) of this passage?A．To show different opinions. B．To give useful advice.
C．To stop people from mistakes. D．To tell us about new things.

Donna.

73 , “Hello, Donna! How are you?” She never cared 74 it was the wrong number. She talked about her
daily life, her cat, her garden, and the newspaper. From her stories, my mom guessed that Donna was a childhood
friend of the lady. She could only spend 10 or 15 minutes on the phone before getting 75 (tire) and ending
the communication with goodbye.

still thinks of that lady sometimes and wonders 78 happened to her. Perhaps that woman knew there was
