课时跟踪练3 Unit 3 Travel journal
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Most autonomous vehicles testdriving in cities navigate (导航) by using 3D maps marking every edge of roadside with almost centimetrelevel accuracy.But few places have been mapped in such detail, which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to those driverless cars.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) now have developed a new navigation system that guides autonomous vehicles without such accurate maps.This technology can help driverless cars travel almost anywhere.
The navigation system maps out a course down unfamiliar roads much as a human driver would do by continually scanning its surroundings, with a laser sensor (激光传感器), to measure how close it is to the edges of the road.Meanwhile, the car also follows a tool like a smartphone map app that provides directions to its destination, as well as information about the rules of the road, such as speed limits and the positions of stoplights.Teddy Ort, a roboticist at MIT, testdrove a car equipped with this navigation system on a oneway road.It slowly travelled one kilometre without any human assistance.
“This system assumes that a car has a clear path down the road, but it can be paired with other existing computing technology to discover onroad obstacles (障碍),” says Ort.The researchers also plan to build a version of this system which can spot markings painted on the streets so that the car can drive on twoway roads.“Selfdriving cars with this navigation system may need other sensors to work in different conditions,”says Alexander Wyglinski, an electrical engineer at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.“Since laser sensors don't work well in rain or snow, these cars might need additional imaging technologies to drive safely in bad weather.”

3.What is the purpose of Paragraph 4?
A.To confirm the testdriving results.
B.To indicate further research areas.
C.To recognize scientists' achievements.
D.To show the creativity of driverless cars.
4.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Autonomous cars beat human drivers on country roads.
B.Navigating selfdriving cars may work in different conditions.
C.Smart mapping technology adds to the functions of selfdriving cars.
D.A new navigation system helps autonomous cars drive to remote areas.
【语篇解读】 麻省理工学院的研究人员研发了一种新型的导航系统,该系统几乎可以帮助无人驾驶汽车去任何地方。本文还介绍了这种新型的导航系统的工作原理及可能存在的问题。
1.解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“But few places have been mapped in such detail,which has left most areas like smaller towns inaccessible to those driverless cars.”可知,很少有地方能在地图上被绘制得如此详细,这使得那些无人驾驶汽车无法到达很多像较小的城镇这样的地区。由此可知,大多数无人驾驶汽车只能在有限的区域行驶,故选C项。
答案:C
2.解析:推理判断题。根据文章第三段第一句“The navigation system...how close it is to the edges of the road.”可知,当导航系统在不熟悉的道路上时会绘制路线,像人类驾驶员一样,不断用激光传感器扫描周围环境,以测量车和道路边缘的距离,由此可推知C项“它通过探测道路进行工作”正确。
答案:C
3.解析:推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容可知,该段主要描述了自动驾驶汽车可能存在的问题及相应的研究方向,由此可推知,B项“表明未来的研究领域”正确。
答案:B
4.解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了麻省理工学院的研究人员研发了一种新型的导航系统,该系统几乎可以帮助无人驾驶汽车去任何地方,包括一些偏远地区,故D项最能概括文章大意。

Dear Tom,
I am very glad to receive your letter inquiring about infectious pneumonia in Wuhan. I am writing to tell you about this.
Since the outbreak of an infectious disease in Wuhan, Chinese government has decisively closed down the city to prevent the spread of the disease. At the same time, although cases have been found throughout the country, the Chinese people actively face it.
At this particular time, we should go out as little as possible. If we go out, we must wear protective masks to prevent ourselves from getting infected.

As many people say, “Come on, Wuhan”, we believe we can certainly overcome the epidemic!
Yours,
Li Hua
