(2017·临沂市3月质检)
People in several American states may be surprised to see cars on city streets without a driver. Experimental driverless vehicles now are legal in Florida, Nevada and California. They are pointing the way to a future that is not far down the road. The hightech company Google has a number of selfdriving cars, which had covered 480,000 kilometers by August. Volvo is among the companies doing road tests and says it plans to sell driverless cars by 2020.
In September, California Governor Jerry Brown signed an act to allow autonomous vehicles on the roads of his state.
“ Today we're looking at science fiction becoming tomorrow's reality—the driverless car. ” The technology for these cars includes cameras, radar and motion sensors. The systems have been improved through competitions sponsored by the U. S. government agency DARPA. Engineer Richard Mason of the Rand Corporation helped design driverless vehicles for DARPA challenge races.
“Cars have become much more fuelefficient, and new electronic features are making Hondas safer,” said Angie Nucci of Honda America. “ A camera on the passengerside mirror actually engaged on your guiding screen so you can safely change lanes. ” Other safety features include warning systems on the front and the sides of the cars.
These systems help drivers, but don't replace them. Curator Leslie Kendall of the Petersen Automotive Museum said autonomous cars will make the high ways safer.
“By taking out drivers, you also remove most risks of an accident,” Kendall said. He said consumers, however, may be unwilling to lose control. “It may take them time to come to realize that the technology is indeed reliable, but it will have to prove itself first. ”
Mason said the technology already works and the biggest challenge now is getting down the cost for driverless vehicles from hundreds of thousands of dollars to something more affordable. He said this will happen as the technology is improved.

文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。有些高中生很早就开始为大学做准备,特别是在高中的最后阶段,他们需要充分备考。进入大学之后,他们会得到学校的指导,以便更快地适应大学生活。
答案:
1.from 考查介词。根据文章的第一句话可知,空格前的“graduate”应与介词from搭配,意为“从……毕业”,符合文意。故空格处填from。
2.how 考查宾语从句。“test”之后接的是宾语从句,well prepared是形容词短语,应用how来修饰。故空格处填how。
3.applications 考查名词。空格处在句中作宾语,由此结合空格后的代词“them”可知,空格处应用提示词的名词复数形式。故空格处填applications。
4.which/that 考查定语从句。“universities”作为定语从句的先行词并且在从句中作主语,因此应用which/that作为定语从句的引导词。故空格处填which/that。
5.an 考查冠词。根据语境可知,空格处表示的是泛指,interview读音的第一个音素是元音,因此应用不定冠词an。故空格处填an。
6.Neatly 考查副词。空格处在句中作状语,修饰dressed,因此应用提示词的副词形式。故空格处填Neatly。注意单词首字母大写。
7.are accepted 考查动词的时态和语态。空格处在句中作谓语,且与主语是被动关系,由此结合“主将从现”原则可知,空格处应用一般现在时的被动语态结构。故空格处填are accepted。
8.other 考查代词。根据空格前内容可知,此处指的是大学的其他主要服务。故空格处填other。
9.puzzling 考查形容词。空格处在句中作表语,由此结合句中的主语可知,空格处应用提示词的现在分词形式(此处为现在分词形容词化)。故空格处填puzzling。
10.it 考查代词。分析句子结构可知,空格处在句中作形式主语,真正的主语是不定式短语,而能够作形式主语的代词只有it。故空格处填it。
