Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping. But none of them are worried about the road ahead.Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driverless cars. So far, no Google self-driven car has gotten a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.These cars are now still in the testing stages. But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.The cars already have many features（特点）allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice objects close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions.Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driven car might be possible.The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self-driven car may be able to prevent these. However, some people do not like the idea. American lawyer Whit Drake, for example, doesnt believe these cars are safe. He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.（1）The main purpose of the first paragraph is to _A . make readers wonder about self-driven cars.B . get readers to pay attention to road safety.C . tell readers to keep away from heavy traffic.D . tell readers what self-driven cars look like.（2）From the passage, we know that the testing self-driven cars can already _ A . avoid being hit by other vehicles on roads.B . control the speed in dangerous situations.C . turn around when getting near objects.D . pick up their owners.（3）What might make the self-driven cars run safely according to the passage?a. e-reading b. wireless signals c. cameras d. GPSA . a, b, cB . a, b, dC . b, c, dD . a, c, d（4）What is Whit Drakes attitude toward the safety of the self-driven cars? A . He has doubt about it.B . He believes it completely.C . He doesnt care about it.D . He thinks its technologies are convincing（使人信服的）.14. （6分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AWelcome to be a member of our clubsReading ClubsChinese Reading Club:Age: 15-18 Ability: good at Chinese and use computers wellHobby: reading Free time: 2 hours a dayEnglish Reading Club:Age: 16-18 Ability: good at English and use computers wellHobby: reading storiesDrama ClubsMusic Club:Age: under 14 Looks: good-lookingHeight: Boys 1.55meters or more and girls 1.5 meters or more Hobby: music and singingDancing Club:Girls only Age: under 16Looks: pretty Height: 1.55meters or moreHobby: music and singing（1） The article is _.A.
