2 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Japanese automaker Toyota has announced plans    1    (create) a “ Woven City” in order to test and develop new technologies. The city is meant to be    2    model for creating “smart cities” around the world. A smart city    3    (be) an area developed with high­speed Internet connectivity to link major information and communication systems. These systems powered by data and sensors can improve living conditions relating to things like energy, transportation and health. Experts say smart cities can    4    (great) cut human­caused pollution, reduce traffic problems and create new uses for Internet technology to affect everyday life.

The Woven City    5    (use) as a “living laboratory” for technologies including self­driving systems, robotics, smart homes and artificial intelligence. It will be built on the land    6    an automobile factory currently operates. The factory is set to close by the end of 2020.

    7    (cover) about 70 hectares of land, the city is designed to hold around 2,000 people. Residents could include Toyota employees and visiting researchers. It will have its own police     8    (officer), fire and emergency services and schools. Its main electrical power will come from hydrogen fuel technology. It is planned to be fully sustainable as buildings will be made mostly     9    wood. Buildings will be equipped with solar facilities to produce    10    (addition) electricity.

Could we have zero deaths on our roads?

Cars that can think for themselves have clear advantages     1     flesh-and-blood drivers. They don’t get drunk or drowsy, daydream or get distracted by mobile phones.

Human error causes over 90 percent of these collisions. Driverless cars, which     2     sense other vehicles on the road as well as obstacles and lane markings(车道标记), are already proving much safer than human-driven cars. In trials of Google’s autonomous Prius fleet in Silicon Valley in California, the only accidents     3    (cause) by human error. How are innovations like these designed? And how safe is it    4     (put) your life in the hands of an autonomous vehicle that makes all your decisions for you?

Driverless cars use a mix of GPS, cameras, complex scanners and sensors to detect vehicles, traffic signals, curbs, pedestrians and    5     obstacles. “A central computer system analyzes the data to control acceleration, steering and braking,” says Olivier Sappin, VP of Transportation & Mobility at Dassault Systèmes—the software company whose 3D EXPERIENCE platform and industry solutions are used by motor manufacturers to design, produce and maintain driverless cars. The software can simulate different eventualities(可能发生的事情) to ensure safety on the road—and the results can be incorporated （被包含）into the design and production process.

As well as     6    (detect) their surroundings using ultra-sophisticated mapping systems, future cars will be able to communicate with each other,     7    (allow) as many cars as possible to fit on the roads.    8     (connect) vehicles will feature safety warnings that alert drivers of potentially dangerous conditions—impending(迫在眉睫的) collisions, icy roads and dangerous curves.

Experts say it’s not the technology holding us back, but legal and practical issues such as who is responsible in the case of an accident, urban planning and the security of car computer systems.     9     these details are worked out, and motor manufacturers have used sophisticated software tools to eliminate all potential problems, it won’t be long     10    we’re all a lot safer on the roads.
