B 新素材 自动驾驶汽车的优势和挑战(2025·广安中考改编)
Have you ever imagined being in a car which is driven by a computer, not a human? In recent years, China has made great progress in self-driving technology(技术). Since August, 2022, self-driving taxis have been able to run on the roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen. Why do we develop self-driving cars?
Self-driving cars can bring us many advantages. First, they use computers to feel the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer traffic jams and better parking space for cars. Second, self-driving cars can help the disabled(残疾的) or blind people to get around more easily. Third, self-driving cars hardly make wrong decisions or lose focus, so there will be fewer accidents and deaths on the road.
However, self-driving cars are not perfect. They also have some problems. If something unexpected(预料之外) on the road happens, self-driving cars cannot react(反应) as fast as human drivers. Also, when the weather is bad, like heavy snow, self-driving cars cannot see the lines on the road easily. This may cause an accident. Besides, if the computer system of the car is broken by someone, the car will crash(撞毁).
It is clear that there is still a long way to go to make self-driving cars more common and safer. And China is taking steps to make this happen.

语篇结构

1.B ［解析］细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Since August, 2022, self-driving taxis have been able to run on the roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen.”可知，自动驾驶出租车已在武汉、重庆和深圳的道路上行驶，未提及成都。故选B。
2.A ［解析］代词指代题。根据第二段中的“Self-driving cars can bring us many advantages. First, they use computers...”可知，“they”指代前文提到的“Self-driving cars”。故选A。
3.C ［解析］细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Third, self-driving cars hardly make wrong decisions or lose focus, so there will be fewer accidents and deaths on the road.”可知，自动驾驶汽车几乎不会犯错或分心，因此交通事故会更少。故选C。
4.C ［解析］细节理解题。第三段中的“If something unexpected(预料之外) on the road happens, self-driving cars cannot react(反应) as fast as human drivers.”对应①；“Also, when the weather is bad, like heavy snow, self-driving cars cannot see the lines on the road easily.”对应③；“Besides, if the computer system of the car is broken by someone, the car will crash(撞毁).”对应④。由此可知，文中未提及“自动驾驶汽车对环境有害”。故选C。
5.D ［解析］主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕自动驾驶汽车的优势(减少拥堵、帮助残障人士、减少交通事故)和问题(意外情况发生时反应速度慢、恶劣天气时不易识别道路交通标线、系统发生故障时会导致车辆被撞毁)展开。故选D。
