Unit 5 Travelling abroad grammar课时作业.阅读理解A2019银川质检 Recently I accepted a challenge to join Naasih, a motivational speaker, on a voyage through India designed to refresh my spirit. After too many hours, Naasih and I arrived in the slum (贫民窟) just as the sun was breaking across the smoggy Delhi sky. It seemed as if the small houses extended for miles, an ocean of tin roofs and laundry lines.Finally, Naasih stopped and turned to me. “Give me your bag，” he said. I handed it to him. I had promised to follow his directions, and in return, I was hoping to find whatever I thought was missing from my life. “I will meet you back here at sunset，” Naasih said and walked away.I began to walk through the streets. No one paid too much attention to the tall, hairless man walking among them. My throat was dry, my stomach turning over with hunger. And then I saw a small house and I knocked softly on the door.A young, skinny man, no older than 25, came to answer it. As I soon found out, the man is named Sankar and he was a Lakers fan. I also learned that he was a recently graduated university student who had left his family to go after a dream of success in the big city. Instead, he had found work in the back of a restaurant.After lunch, Sankar took me to play basketball with a group of children in a trashfilled field down the road. The sun was beginning to fall as the laughter of the basket games echoed (发出回声) through the slum. I was so caught up in my day with Sankar. I had started the morning in fear and exhaustion, but I was ending the day connected to something much larger.After the game, Sankar and I walked to Rata Road. There stood Naasih. He said, “Youre_shining,_Leon.” I had been knocked entirely out of my comfort zone, and I felt that wild burst of life that had been missing from my own.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者的一次旅行。【难句分析】I also learned that he was a recently graduated university student who had left his family to go after a dream of success in the big city.分析：本句包含that引导的宾语从句；who引导定语从句，修饰先行词a recently graduated university student，并在从句中作主语。译文：我还了解到，他是一名刚毕业的大学生，为了追逐在大城市取得成功的梦想，他离开了自己的家。1Why did the author come to Sankars home?ATo play a game with him.BTo respond to Naasihs request.CTo relieve his hunger and thirst.DTo learn how disadvantaged people live.答案与解析：C考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“My throat was dry, my stomach turning over with hunger.

But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional modes of transportation, such as the elderly and disabled, so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation. A retirement community in San Jose, Calif., which has been transformed by a small fleet of driverless taxis, shows the potential of selfdriving cars to transform peoples lives. Built by a tech startup called Voyage, the modified Ford Fusions are currently limited to a twomile road, but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomous vehicles, which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road, these residents whose average age is 76 will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appointments. As these cars continue to serve residents there, it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.In Michigan, forwardthinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles, especially for those with physical disabilities. The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology, saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling, independent lives.Many recognize that autonomous vehicles will be the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who are forced to depend on others for daytoday travel. The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and Michigan, and pass rules and regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.体裁：说明文题材：交通方式主题：自动驾驶汽车【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了美国人使用自动驾驶汽车的现状、自动驾驶汽车给人们带来的方便以及今后应该注意的问题。【难句分析】But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional modes of transportation, such as the elderly and disabled, so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation.分析：这是一个复合句。that引导宾语从句，其中to improve the quality of life for. modes of transportation作the potential的后置定语；underserved作millions of Americans的后置定语；so long as引导条件状语从句，条件状语从句中含有that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词policies，并在从句中作主语。译文：但最近的实验证明，只要立法者制定明智的政策，为创新铺平道路，自动驾驶汽车就有可能改善数以百万计的美国人的生活质量，而传统的交通方式还不能满足他们(如老人和残疾人)的需求。5Whats the attitude of most American people to the future of autonomous vehicles?ACurious.BDoubtful.CIndifferent.
