2 . Self-driving vehicles will rely on cameras, sensors and artificial intelligence（AI）to recognize and respond to road and traffic conditions, but sensing is the most effective for objects and movement in the neighborhood of the vehicle. Not everything important in a car’s environment will be caught by the vehicle’s camera. Another vehicle approaching at high speed on a collision (碰撞) track might not be visible until it’s too late. This is why vehicle-to-vehicle communication is undergoing rapid development. Our research shows that cars will need to be able to chat and cooperate on the road, although the technical challenges are considerable.

Applications for vehicle-to-vehicle communication range from vehicles driving together in a row, to safety messages about nearby emergency vehicles. Vehicles could alert each other to avoid collisions or share notices about passers-by and bicycles.

From as far as several hundred meters away, vehicles could exchange messages with one another or receive information from roadside unit’s（RSUs）about nearby incidents or dangerous road conditions through 4G network.

A high level of AI seems required for such vehicles, not only to self -drive from A to B, but also to react intelligently to messages received. Vehicles will need to plan, reason, strategize and adapt in the light of information received in real time and to carry out cooperative behaviors. For example, a group of autonomous vehicles might avoid a route together because of potential risks, or a vehicle could decide to drop someone off earlier due to messages received, a foreseen crow ding ahead.

Further applications of vehicle-to-vehicle communication are still being researched, including how to perform cooperative behavior.

1. What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A．The reasons for the accidents by self-driving vehicles.

B．The research about applications for self-driving vehicles.

C．The importance of artificial intelligence of self -driving vehicles.

D．The reasons for developing communication between self -driving vehicles.

2. What does the underlined word “alert” mean in Paragraph 2?

A．Alarm.

B．Condemn.

C．Ignore.

D．Govern.

3. What can we learn about roadside units (RSUs)?

A．They classify the vehicles on the road.

B．They can improve bad road conditions.

C．They take over the passing vehicles.

D．They serve as efficient information stations.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．When do vehicles communicate?

B．The reasons why a high level of AI is important.

C．Vehicle-to-vehicle communication is coming.

D．What do applications for vehicle-to-vehicle communication need?

6 . On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted that 42% of Americans could be overweight by 2030. Our expanding waistlines lead to not only a medical problem, but according to a recent article In The New York Times, it could also endanger personal safety in some situations—in an airplane crash, for example.

The New York Times’ Christen Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are adequately constructed to protect overweight travelers. Government standards for airplane seat strength（强度）— first set moe than 60 years ago — require that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg). Today, the average American man weighs nearly 194 pounds (88kg) and the average woman 165 pounds (75kg). Negroni reports:

“If a heavier person completely fills seat, the seat is not likely to behave as intended during a crash,” said Robert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly.”

“Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said, “those people who are seated nearby could be endangered from ‘the uncontrolled movements of the passenger’.”

Most complaints about airplane seats focus on their lack of comfort and high ticket price, and whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times’ article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Investigators of the issue got in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to comment on the problem. Experts agreed that crash testing should be done with overweight dummies （人体模型）. Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said.

Fortunately, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at the National Transportation Safety Board, the board’s investigators have never seen an accident involving a commercial plane in which the weight of a passenger was a problem.

1. What is the article in The New York Times mainly concerned with?

A．The size of airplane seats and seat belts.

B．Safety of overweight airplane passengers.

C．Airplane crashes involving commercial planes.

D．A medical problem caused by being overweight.

2. Robert Salzar would probably agree that         .

A．overweight passengers should buy two seats

B．the government should help produce safer planes

C．standards for airplane seat strength should be raised

D．passengers should know how to protect themselves

3. We can learn from the text that         .

A．airplane seat makers have taken action now

B．there are few complaints about airplane seats

C．those seate near the overweight may suffer too

D．only a small number of airplane accidents involve the overweight

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．Why Do Passengers Feel Anxious about Flying?

B．Will 42% of Americans Be OVERWEIGHT BY 2030?

C．When Will the Overweight Enjoy Their Flight?

D．Are Airplane Seats Safe Enough for the Overweight?

Nowadays many people drive instead of taking a bus or walking to work. It causes more traffic jam and accidents. As the student, what can we do to guarantee our safe?
