【題目】 Self-driving cars have been backed by the hope that they will save lives by getting involved in fewer crashes with fewer injuries and deaths than human-driven cars. But so far， most comparisons between human drivers and automated vehicles have been unfair.

Crash statistics for human-driven cars are gathered from all sorts of driving situations， and on all types of roads. However， most of the data on self-driving cars' safety have been recorded often in good weather and on highways， where the most important tasks are staying in the car's own lane and not getting too close to the vehicle ahead. Automated cars are good at those tasks， but so are humans.

It is true that self-driving cars don't get tired， angry， frustrated or drunk. But neither can they yet react to uncertain situations with the same skill or anticipation of an attentive human driver. Nor do they possess the foresight to avoid potential perils. They largely drive from moment to moment，rather than think ahead to possible events literally down the road.

To a self-driving car， a bus full of people might appear quite similar to an uninhabited corn field. Indeed， deciding what action to take in an emergency is difficult for humans， but drivers have sacrificed themselves for the greater good of others. An automated system’s limited understanding of the world means it will almost never evaluate(評(píng)估) a situation the same way a human would. And machines can't be programmed in advance to handle every imaginable set of events.

Some people may argue that the promise of simply reducing the number of injuries and deaths is enough to support driverless cars. But experience from aviation(航空) shows that as new automated systems are introduced， there is often an increase in the rate of disasters.

Therefore comparisons between humans and automated vehicles have to be performed carefully. To fairly evaluate driverless cars on how well they fulfill their promise of improved safety， it's important to ensure the data being presented actually provide a true comparison. After all，choosing to replace humans with automation has more effects than simply a one-for-one exchange.

【1】What makes the comparison between self-driving cars and human-driven cars unfair?

A.Self-driving cars never get tired.B.Statistics are collected differently.

C.Machines can make decisions faster.D.Self-driving cars know the world better.

【2】What does the underlined word “perils” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?

A.Dangers.B.Self-driving cars.

C.Pedestrians.D.Human-driven cars.

【3】In which aspect can self-driving cars beat human-driven cars?

A.Driving steadily.B.Climbing steep slopes.

C.Evaluating the cost of loss.D.Making complex decisions.

【4】Why does the author write this text?

A.To support human-driven cars.

B.To show his doubt about self-driving cars.

C.To call for exact evaluation of self-driving cars.

D.To stress the importance of reducing car accidents.

【題目】（題文）The rules about how to talk, eat and sit, which are highly limited, are observed in most Western restaurants and homes. （小題1） Many Westerners have no idea how to act at the Chinese dinner table. No forks or knives for them to use! The Chinese host makes great, sweeping arm movements that go over large sections of the table, passing over both food and friends alike. （小題2） However, it leaves many foreigners at a loss for what to do.

In my childhood home, dinner was enjoyed with low voices, and the topics that we could discuss were very limited. （小題3） If I had to leave the table to use the toilet, I had to excuse myself without mentioning what it was that I was going to do. “May I be excused, please? I need to wash my hands.” I would say. My mother would say, “Sure.” My father would often play a joke on me by saying, “（小題4）”

As for eating, we did it quietly. No eating noises were allowed. Everything must be done as quietly as possible. If any sound was created by eating food or drinking, it would be considered as bad manners!

（小題5） He is to sit up straight with the recessive hand (usually the left) in one’s lap holding a napkin while the dominant hand (usually the right) holds the fork or spoon. The only time one is allowed to have both hands on the table is when he is using a knife to cut something.

A. The scene is fantastic.

B. Your hands don’t look dirty!

C. How one sits at the table is also prescribed.

D. Can’t you think up a better excuse than that?

E. In general they were all strictly forbidden topics.
