2、）_二、Part Reading Compr(总题数：1，分数：70.00)Robot Cars to Do Battle in Desert RaceWhen 15 competitors lined up in Nevada last year for the US Defense Departments first million-dollar robot race, hopes were high. The challenge: to drive a vehicle without a human driver or remote control some 150 miles (241
3、 kilometers) through the Mojave Desert.But those hopes quickly went up in a cloud of dust as most robots barely managed to get off the starting line. The best performer, a modified Humvee built by engineers at Pennsylvanias Carnegie Mellon University, traveled 7 miles (11 kilometers) before breaking
4、 down.To robot devotees(热爱者), however, it was a minor problem.No surprise, then, that 43 teams showed up to try out for this years race, dubbed(被称作) the Grand Challenge. For the past week, teams ranging from garage enthusiasts to well-funded university engineers have been fine-tuning their machines
5、at qualifying rounds here at the California Speedway in Fontana, California. (Watch the robots in action in our exclusive video. )Twenty-three finalists were announced Thursday for Saturdays Grand Challenge. The 175-mile (282-kilometer) course starts and finishes in Primm, Nevada.The race promises t
6、o be even tougher than last years run. But 18 months is an eternity in the robotics world, and the technology has vastly improved.Organizers believe several teams have a real shot of finishing the race in less than ten hours to earn the grand prize of two million US dollars.“When the first team out
7、of the chute (斜道)-Mojavaton, a small team out of Colorado-made it successfully around the 2.2-mile (3.5-kilometer) qualification course, I “knew right there and then that we had something special,“ said Ron Kurjanowicz, the chief of staff for the Pentagons Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (
8、DARPA), which is sponsoring the race.Unknown CourseThe aim of the Grand Challenge, Defense Department officials say, is to spur development of autonomous ground vehicles that can operate in dangerous environments, such as war zones, keeping soldiers out of harms way.A US Congress mandate(训令) require
9、s that one-third of military ground vehicles drive themselves by 2015, but the technology to meet that mandate does not yet exist.So the government looked to enterprising teams to develop the technology for driverless vehicles, sweetening its offer with the two-million-dollar purse.None of the 23 te
10、ams knows what lies ahead for this years race. DARPA wont reveal the exact route until two hours before the start of the race on Saturday.But the obstacles on the Fontana qualification course-including a steel-enforced tunnel that wipes out a vehicles global positioning system-are made to resemble t
11、he rugged, real-life conditions that the vehicles will have to navigate.The vehicles use sensors such as lasers, cameras, and radar to help them avoid obstacles such as rocks and cliffs. The computers brain has to figure out how to resolve unexpected conflicts, like a boulder sitting in the middle o
12、f the road.“Think about all the decisions that you and I have to make when we drive from our house to the store,“ Kurjanowicz said. “These vehicles have to do the same thing, without a driver. “Among the top contenders in Saturdays race is TerraMax, a massive truck originally built by the Wisconsin-
13、based Oshkosh Truck Corporation for the US Marine corps.In last years race, TerraMax managed to go only 1.2 miles (2 kilometers). Team leader Gary Schmiedel expects to do much better this year. He pointed to the new all-wheel steering feature on the truck as an important addition.“We can move this l
14、arge, 15-ton (13. 5-metric ton) payload vehicle in a turn thats equivalent to that of a Humvee,“ he said.GhostriderThe resources of teams like Terra Max or Carnegie Mellon University, which has two vehicles in the race this year, are a far cry from those of some of the other competitors, including i
15、nventors, electricians, and even a high school team.One entry, from a Southern California team of engineers, racers, and hot-rodders, is called It Came from the Garage. It has a beer keg(小桶) stuck on the back and an on-off switch that says “brain“.“Most of the schools and organizations were up again

J. “ Pedersen, a former actor. “Ours is a custom-built, 21st-century hot rod complete with hood scoop and exhaust coming off the side. “Anthony Levandowski, a robotics builder from Berkeley, California, is back with Ghostri
17、der, the only motorcycle robot in the qualifications. Studded with sensors and computers, it toppled(翻倒) over after 3 feet (1 meter) in last years race.Levandowski, who had to postpone his graduate studies when he couldnt find a faculty advisor who believed it would be possible to build the motorcyc
18、le robot, says his vehicle has some distinct advantages.“Were smaller and go a lot more places,“ he said while tinkering with the robot before another trial run. “Were also a lot less expensive. This bike costs as much as a tire or a wheel of some of these other guys machines. “Smart MoneyNeither Gh

It was the only vehicle that didnt hit an obstacle in the trial runs.Even if none of the vehicles finishes the race this year, DARPAs Kurjanowicz said, the event has succeeded in galvanizing robotics developers and
