33、tten exam BThe possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurists dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars
34、on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. Californiaisnt leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. Its hard to predict when driverles
35、s cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverl
36、ess cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally fri
37、endly and more - 7 -shared.Do we want to copy or even worsen the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep
38、on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even
39、leads fewer people to take public transport an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services.A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could redu
40、ce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering
41、 the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues. But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles
42、doesnt extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have t
43、o plan for it.58. According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can _.A. make some people lose jobs B. help deal with transportation-related problemsC. cause damage to our environment D.provide better services to customers59. As for driverless cars, what is the authors maj
44、or concern?A. Safety. B. Affordability. C. Management. D. Side effects.60. What is the authors attitude to the future of self-driving cars?A. Doubtful. B. Sympathetic. C. Disapproving. D. Positive.CIn King Henry VI, Shakespeare wrote, “to weep is to make less the depth of grief,” and American writer
45、 Lemony Snicket said “unless you have been very lucky, you know that a good, long session of weeping can often make you feel better, even if your circumstances have not changed one bit.” Charles Darwin, - 8 -on the other hand, thought that the production of tears was merely a useless side effect of
46、the way that the muscles around the eye worked. For him, those muscles had to contract(收缩) from time to time so that they didnt overflow with blood; the squeeze of tears was simply an unintended consequence of that evolved physiological process. We now know that cryingat least, the sort that adults
47、dois a complex physiological response to some kind of emotional stimulus. From a scientific perspective, crying is different from the production of tears in response to a chemical stimulus. Even the tears themselves are different. In 1981, Minnesota psychiatrist William H Frey II discovered that tea
48、rs brought on by sad movies had more protein in them than those that flowed in response to some freshly cut onions.But while all of us are familiar with the feelings that are associated with crying, whether for joy or sorrow, theres not much thats known about why we do it as adultsbut there are plenty of ideas.One idea is that adult crying isnt actually all that different from the sort that babies do, at least when it comes to its social nature. In other words,
