In March, 2018, Baidu was given a license to test its self-driving cars in Beijing, China Daily reported.Self-driving cars have been in development since 2010, when Google announced that it was making such cars. Since then, companies like Tesla, Uber and Baidu have been working to produce and test their own self-driving cars.Self-driving cars are expected to change the way we get around. They are safer and more environmentally friendly than regular cars. They can remove the stress(压力) of driving and allow disabled or blind people to get around more easily.But self-driving cars have their own disadvantages as well. In one test, researchers pointed a laser pointer (激光棒) at the cars sensors (感应器) while it was moving. The car mistakenly thought that the laser beam (波束) was in its way and slowed down or changed directions.The software (软件) that is used to direct the cars may not be safe enough. Reported Live science. Sometimes, without any reasons, it may break down when we use out computers or smart phones. If the software in a self-driving car happened to crash, the results could be deadly. Maybe improvements to the software could solve this problem.Information CardThe time when Baidu got a testing license of its self-driving cars in Beijing_The company which has firstly developed self-driving cars since 2010_The thing that will happen to the moving car if a laser beam is in its way_The number of companies that have been working to produce and test their own self-driving cars_The way to solve the problem of self-driving cars_七、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)10. （5分）学校下周举行我爱家乡征文活动，请你根据提示，用英文简写一下家乡巨野的现状。 要点：地处鲁西南，历史三千年，人口过百万，富产煤炭。景点众多，食品可口，气候宜人，人民友好。近年变化巨大，高楼林立道路宽广注意：1）句子通顺连贯，语法正确; 2）70词以上; 3）使用至少一个现在完成时态。参考词汇：lie in, has a history of ,a population of, be rich in, places of interestMy hometown, Juye第 12 页 共 12 页参考答案一、 完形填空 (共1题；共10分)1-1、二、 阅读理解 (共4题；共40分)2-1、2-2、2-3、2-4、3-1、3-2、3-3、3-4、4-1、4-2、4-3、4-4、4-5、5-1、5-2、5-3、5-4、5-5、三、 选词填空（词汇运用） (共1题；共5分)6-1、四、 单词拼写（词汇运用） (共1题；共10分)7-1、五、 语法填空 (共1题；共10分)8-1、六、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共5分)9-1、七、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)10-1、
