江苏省泰州市姜堰区2016届九年级上学期英语期末考试试卷

阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

You know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years? Your car will change even more than that in the next 10 years.

One of the biggest changes is that cars will drive themselves. Some day you may not need to drive a car. You will just tell the car where you want to go and it will drive itself.

Google

The American company Google has been working on a self-driving automobile for years. These cars are already on the roads in the United States, mainly in California.

Google cars are truly self-driving. These cars have no steering wheels(方向盘) or pedals(刹车踏板).

Last week, police ordered one of Google's cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road. The car was not against any law, so no one was punished. But police did speak to the operators of the vehicle(车辆).

According to Google, its self-driving cars have been driven nearly 2 million kilometers. That is equal to the distance the average person drives in 90 years.

So far, no Google self-driving car has gotten a traffic ticket. Some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.

Tesla

Another American company, Tesla, added an “Autopilot(自动驾驶仪)” feature to its cars last month. Tesla put the feature, a computer software program, in cars that were built after September 2014.

With the Autopilot turned on, the vehicle drives itself. The car will speed up, slow down, brake and steer by itself.

You can take over driving any time by turning the steering wheel or touching a pedal. Your car will slow down if the vehicle in front of you gets closer. It will turn at bends and change lanes if you use the turn signal.

Tesla Autopilot takes over driving at speeds over 29 kilometers per hour when you press a button twice. Autopilot is made for cross-country driving. It keeps you in the lane and helps you avoid hitting other cars.

Other Self-Driving Cars and Buses

Other companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW, Volvo and Toyota are working on self-driving cars. Another company called BestMile is also working on self-driving buses in Switzerland. The buses can hold up to nine people and will be tested for two years.

举一反三

   Fire can help people in many ways. But can also be very harmful. Fire can heat water warm your houses, give light, and cook food. But fire can burn things too. It can burn trees, houses, animals, or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests.
    Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories about the first time a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope and brought fire down.
Today people know how to make a fire with matches. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast.
   Fires kill many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen. Without oxygen they die. There is oxygen in the air. Cover a fire with water, sand, or in an emergency, with your coat or something else. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it.
   Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you.

It seems to be strange to you there is a blind spot(点) on the eyes. Here is an interesting experiment that can make something disappear, when one eye is open.
　Make a card about the size of a postcard and write two English letters L and R on it, L on the left and R on the right. First, hold the card about 80 cm away and you see both the letters. Then close your right eye and look at the letter R only with your left eye. And now, as you move the card slowly towards you, you'll find the letter L disappearing. But if you move the card nearer to your face, the letter will be seen again. Now do the same experiment with your left eye closed, you'll find the letter R disappearing.
Why does the letter disappear? It is because there is a blind spot on the eye. When the image of the letter falls on the blind spot, it won't be seen. That is why either of the letters disappears.
