广东省深圳市南山区育才三中2018-2019学年七年级上学期英语期中考试试卷

阅读短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

    Don't be too surprised if you see a car going down the road without a driver in Beijing these days. It might be one of Baidu's self-driving cars. Last month, Baidu was granted (授予) a license to test its self-driving cars on open roads in Beijing, China Daily reported.

    Self-driving cars have been in development since 2010, when Google announced that it was making such cars. Since then, companies like Tesla, Uber and Baidu have been working to produce and test their own self-driving cars.

    Self-driving cars are expected to revolutionize (革命) the way we get around. They are safer and more environmentally friendly than regular cars. They can remove the stress of driving and allow disabled or blind people to get around more easily.

    But self-driving cars have their own flaws (缺陷) as well. In one test, researchers pointed a laser pointer (激光棒) at the car's sensors (传感器) while it was moving. The car mistakenly thought that the laser beam was in its way and slowed down or changed direction. Flaws like this could be used by people to trick self-driving cars, according to the Guardian.

    The software that is used to direct the cars may not be safe enough, reported Live Science. It may crash (崩溃). When we use our computers or smart phones, they sometimes crash without any reason. But if this happened to a self-driving car, the results could be deadly. Improvements to the software could be a solution to this problem.

(1)、Which company was the first to develop self-driving cars?
A、Google B、Tesla C、Uber D、Baidu
(2)、What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A、Solutions for disabled people. B、Tips for riding in self-driving cars. C、Advantages of self-driving cars. D、Reasons for testing self-driving cars.
(3)、When sensing (感应) an obstacle (障碍物) in the way, self-driving cars will ________.
A、attack it with a laser beam B、slow down or change direction C、crash into it to get past it D、stop and move around it
(4)、What can we infer (推断) from the story?
A、Self-driving cars will be used as taxis in Beijing. B、Traveling in self-driving cars can prevent traffic accidents. C、Self-driving cars free people from the stress of driving. D、Researchers have found solutions to the problems self-driving cars have.

For thousands of years, tea is loved by many people around the world. It has finally received top-level global recognition as a shared cultural treasure of our humans. On November 29, 2022, traditional tea processing techniques and their related social customs in China were added to UNESCO's Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(联合国教科文组织人类非物质文化遗产名录). Following "Wangchuan Ceremony(送王船)" in 2020,this project is the 43rd one to be successfully added to the list and there are 44 sub-projects in total belonging to this main project.

Chinese tea culture began as early as over 5,000 years ago. It's said the ruler Shen Nong was the first to discover tea as a drink by accident. But during the Three-Kingdom Period, people paid more attention to its medical value. In the Tang Dynasty, tea-tasting became an important part for poets' life. Bai Juyi wrote 64 poems about tea in his lifetime.

 According to UNESCO, in China traditional tea processing techniques are closely connected to location and natural environment. The area of tea planting in China is about between 18°-37°N and 94°-122°E. Tea-related customs are not only found across the country, but also influenced the rest of the world through the ancient Silk Road. In western countries, tea firstly became popular in Britain in the 17th century, and then the whole of Europe. When it came to the late 18th and 19th centuries, 10% of a British person's income(money made from work) at the time was spent on tea, making it one of the most important expensive goods.
