Driverless Cars - 阅读测试答案

The selected lines say that “Progress in this field has quickly gathered pace since Google announced that it had been trialing self-driving cars on the streets of California in 2010.” This tells us that Google announced that it had been trialing self-driving cars on the streets of California in 2010 and making important progress. Hence the answer is B.

In the mentioned lines of the paragraph, it is said that “Modelling work at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute indicates that automated vehicles might reduce ownership of vehicles by 43%, but as a result the average annual mileage of vehicles doubles.” This proves that the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute indicates that automated vehicles might reduce ownership of vehicles by 43% and double the average annual mileage. Hence the answer is G.

The lines in this paragraph says that “…it can increase the development of smaller and efficient vehicles that match the needs of individuals.” These sentences point out that automation can increase the development of smaller and efficient vehicles that match the needs of individuals. Hence the answer is I.

In the specified line, it is stated that “…while automation systems have all the responsibility for your safety. Those who are old or disabled may be able to travel alone if the vehicle can do the driving.” These sentences point out that with the advent of automation, those who are old or disabled may be able to travel alone if the vehicle can do the driving. Hence the answer is D.

The mentioned lines from Paragraph G says that “As a result, the vehicles would be used more frequently and will require replacement sooner. Due to this fast turnover the vehicle production may not necessarily decrease.” These lines make it clear that vehicles would be used more frequently and will require replacement sooner resulting in fast turnover the vehicle production may not necessarily decrease. Hence the answer is G.

The introductory line of Paragraph C says that “Technology is advancing so fast due to many reasons. The biggest reason is safety.” As the statement agrees with the information that safety is the biggest reason for driverless car technology advancement, the answer is True.

The specified lines state that “At present, the average car spends its life parked for more than 90% of its life.” So, it is clear that the statement agrees with the information. Hence the answer is True.

The lines from Paragraph G says that “Modelling work at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute indicates that automated vehicles might reduce ownership of vehicles by 43%, but as a result the average annual mileage of vehicles doubles.” Since the statement contradicts the information by stating that the ownership of vehicles will increase due to automated vehicles, the answer is False.

The mentioned lines states “…the flexibility to respond to this will be essential for those involved in manufacturing the vehicles that will implement future mobility.” As the statement agrees with the information in the passage, the answer is True.

The provided lines say that “From the 1970s the implementation of robotic car manufacture brought significant cost savings and improvements in the reliability and flexibility of mass production of vehicles.” As the statement and the information given are the same and the only missing word is robotic car, the answer is ‘robotic car’.

The given lines say that “For more than 50 years, vehicles with limited self-driving capabilities have been around, which contributed significantly towards driver assistance systems.” As the statement and the information given are the same and the only missing word is self-driving, the answer is ‘self-driving’.

The mentioned lines say that “…more than 90% of road collisions occur due to human error, and it is the biggest cause of road accidents.” As the statement and the information given are the same and the only missing word is road accidents, the answer is ‘road accidents’.

The provided lines say that “However, one thing is clear: change is for sure, and the flexibility to respond to this will be essential for those involved in manufacturing the vehicles that will implement future mobility.” As the statement and the information given are the same and the only missing word is flexibility, the answer is ‘flexibility’.

The given lines say that “There is no doubt that many challenges need to be taken care of but, through targeted and robust research, these problems can be solved in the next 10 years.” As the statement and the information given are the same and the only missing word is robust research, the answer is ‘robust research’.
