He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer39。s field. When he did so, a customs (海關(guān)) officer rushed up to his plane.

It seems a dream in the future. It isn39。t. In many ways such driverless cars are already with us. There is partial automation in many cars, such as intelligent braking, lane departure warning and automatic parking. The systems are there cars can pretty much drive themselves. No one noticed the introduction of cruise control. We39。ve got collision avoidance, and we39。ll soon have automatic lane change. Improving this technology should make the roads safer. Machines are much better at following rules than humans. Driveway signs advise drivers to slow down to avoid jams. They are often ignored by drivers. But it won39。t happen a puter. Driverless cars could also choose the best route to avoid traffic jams. Fewer jams will mean stopstart driving. Maintaining smooth and constant speeds will improve fuel efficiency. Computers could also be programmed to take the greenest route, rather than the fastest one. Under puter control, cars could also travel much closer together. They can effectively “slipstream” one another and use less fuel to move themselves forward. They can even form multicar “trains” going high speeds. However, with driverless cars on the roads, there will be potential trust issues between people and machines. We could therefore see guard rails back on the sides of pavements. This would be a backwards step.1. A. because B. so that C. such as2. A. creating B. to creat C. creat3. A. with B. to C. on4. A. more B. little C. less5.

The yarn can conduct electricity from a battery pack to anywhere in your clothing. It can charge your gadgets on contact. It can carry either power or data through a soldier39。s clothes, helmet, or backpack. It can gear that otherwise needs separate power sources. The materials have been field tested. But they still need to be weatherproofed. Right now, charging up a battery still involves wires, chargers, and sockets. Inductive charging is developing. But you can not just put your phone down on any surface and start powering up. And what if that could be hacked together with some kind of inductive charging? You39。d be able to almost totally cut the cord with your gadgets. Yes, you39。d need to charge up whatever power source you39。re using now and then. But keep a pair of khakis plugged in while they hang in the closet. A. But what if your pants or jacket or bag could charge your phone, or laptop or anything else? B. The fabric is developed by Intelligent Textiles. C. Imagine having jeans that charge your phone just by putting it in your pocket. D. It is a lot different from having to remember to plug in your phone. E. And that39。s all great, but would this ever be made it into your home, and charge your phone or laptop someday?二、閱讀理解：閱讀下面的短文，根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容從A、B、C三個選項中選出一個最佳選項。 Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Today, nearly two—thirds of the world39。s population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.　　In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to be used up. The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man39。s needs.　　The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man39。s technology is impressive. Oil and gas explorations have been carried out for nearly 30 years. Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined (開采).　　Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental people.　　Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents (水流) and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.　　Technology is enabling man to explore ever more deeply under the sea. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.　　The technology to harvest the sea continues to improv
