閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該選項(xiàng)涂黑。

Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert,seeking a million in prize money.To win,they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours.Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at a11,because these vehicles were missing a key Part—drivers.

DARPA,the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency,organized the race as part of a push to deve10p robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called,just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance One had its brake 10ck up in the starting area.Another began by throwing itself onto a wall.Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles.

One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence;another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock.The "winner",if there was any,reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long,narrow hole,and the front wheals caught on fire.

"You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things,"says Reinhold Behringer,

who helped design two of the car—size vehicles for a company called Sci—Autonics."Even ants

(螞蟻) can do a1l these tasks effortlessly.It's very hard for US to put these abilities into our machine".

The robotic vehicles,though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers

and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there's a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.

41. Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because ______.

   A. they did not have any human guidance

   B. the road was not familiar to the drivers

   C. the distance was too long for the vehicles

   D. the prize money was unattractive to the drivers

42. DARPA organized the race in order to ______.

   A. raise money for producing more robotic vehicles   

   B. push the development of vehicle industry

   C. train more people to drive in the desert

   D. improve the vehicles for future wars

43. From the passage we know "robotic vehicles" are a kind of machines that ______.

   A. can do effortlessly whatever tasks living things can

   B. can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limit

   C. can show off their ability to turn themselves upside down

   D. can move from place to place without being driven by human beings

44. In the race, the greatest distance one robotic vehicle covered was ______.

   A. about eight miles      B. six miles   C. almost two miles      D. about one mile

45. In the last paragraph, the writer implies that there is a long way to go ______.

   A. for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficulties

   B. for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie on the table

   C. for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple problem that a little child can solve

   D. for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off its face

 

A．Review regularly B．Make good use of class time C．Find a good place to study D．Plan your time carefully E．Scan before you read F．Take notes in class

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下框的A ~ F選項(xiàng)中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to become a better student 

Maybe you are an average（普通的；平常的）student with an average intellect．You probably think you will never be a top student．This is not necessarily so．Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to be．The following suggestions may be helpful to you.

1.

When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do．Be sure to set aside enough time to complete the work that you are normally assigned each week．Of course, studying shouldn’t occupy all of your free time．Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment, hobbies and relaxation.

2.

Look around the house for a good study area．Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything, but study materials．No radio or television．When you sit to work, concentrate/focus on the subject.

3.

This means looking a passage over quickly but thoroughly before you begin to read it more carefully．Scanning a passage lets you preview the material and get a general idea of the content．Scanning will help you double your reading speed and improve your comprehension.

4.

 

Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says．Real listening in class means less work later．Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

5.

 

When you get home from school, go over your notes．Review the important points that your teacher mentions and you will remember them longer.

Develop a good attitude about tests．The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject．Tests do more than just provide grades; they let you know what you need to study more, and they help to make your new knowledge permanent(長久的；永久的).
