【正文】 look into the future. You are standing in front of the choice of either investing a huge amount of your money in buying a hunk of metal and plastic for 30, 40, 50 thousand dollars, or you have the convenient option of paying as you go, the car picks you up in a few minutes, it39。s a nice environment and you spend a few dollars per day on your transport. When you take the driver out of the car, transport can be much cheaper and you can use the time to do other things, instead of sitting behind a steering(轉(zhuǎn)向)wheel and not doing anything else. So I think the choice for the vast majority of people will be the obvious one.（1）What can we learn from paragraph 2? majority of people will purchase cars. changes will take place in car industry. cars will enjoy more popularity. car business is gradually disappearing.（2）What is a major cause of the fast change in the car industry? rapid growth of selfdriving cars. rise of shared vehicles. increasing demand of customers. advanced production line.（3）How does Rima feel about the future of selfdriving cars? ....（4）What can be a suitable title for the text? cars meet new challenges. cars avoid human errors. or driving cars won39。t be a must. cars will be pletely replaced.【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）C（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，講述了由于自動(dòng)駕駛車輛和電池的興起，在不遠(yuǎn)的將來(lái)人們不用再買車和駕車，此外自動(dòng)駕駛車輛將給社會(huì)和環(huán)境帶來(lái)巨大好。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Long term, I think 20 years down the road, it will be totally changed and people will not own or drive their cars anymore.”可知，20年后交通會(huì)有巨大的變化，人們將不會(huì)擁有或者駕駛車輛，由此可推測(cè)將來(lái)汽車產(chǎn)業(yè)將會(huì)發(fā)生巨大變大。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Rimac is well aware the industry is changing quickly due to the rise of selfdriving vehicles and electric batteries,“可知汽車產(chǎn)業(yè)的巨大變化是由自動(dòng)駕駛車輛和電池的興起導(dǎo)致。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五段中的”So I think the choice for the vast majority of people will be the obvious one.”可知Rimac認(rèn)為很多人都會(huì)選擇自動(dòng)駕駛車輛，故推測(cè)Rimac對(duì)自動(dòng)駕駛車輛的未來(lái)非常樂(lè)觀。選C。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“The founder of electric supercar maker Rimac has said it won39。t make sense for people to own or drive their own cars in the ing decades.“和下文所講述的內(nèi)容可知，本文主要圍繞將來(lái)人們不用再擁有和駕駛車輛展開。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科技類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。7．閱讀理解 For most of us, work is the central, dominating fact of life. We spend more than half our conscious hours at work, preparing for work, traveling to and from work. What we do there largely determines our standard of living and our status to a considerable extent. It is sometimes said that because leisure has bee more important, the injustices of work can be pushed into a corner, and that because most work is pretty intolerable, the people who do it should pensate for its boredom, frustrations and humiliations by concentrating their hopes on the other parts of their lives. For the foreseeable future, however, the material and psychological rewards which work can provide will continue to play a vital part in determining the satisfaction that life can offer. Yet only a small minority can control the pace at which they work or the conditions where their work is done。 only for a small minority does work offer scope for creativity, imagination or initiative. Inequality at work is still one of the most glaring (明顯的) forms of inequality in our society. We cannot hope to solve the more obvious problems of industrial life, many of which arise from the frustrations created by inequality at work, unless we handle it determinedly. The most glaring inequality is that between managers and the rest. For most managers, work is an opportunity and a challenge. Their jobs engage their interest and allow them to develop their abilities. They are constantly learning. They are able to exercise responsibility. They have a considerable degree of control over their own and others39。 working lives. Most important of all, they have opportunities to initiate. By contrast, for most manual workers, work is a boring, dull, even painful experience. They spend all their working lives in intolerable conditions. The majority have little control over their work. It provides them with no opportunity for personal development. Many jobs are so routine that workers feel themselves to be mere cogs (齒輪) in the bureaucratic machine. As a direct consequence of their work experience, many workers feel alienated (疏遠(yuǎn)) from their work and their firm.（1）In the writer39。s opinion, people judge others mainly by ________.
