Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
The idea of a driverless car is not new. Now there are already cars on the road that can park themselves. But a
truly self-driving car, one that can drive itself, is being tested by scientists and engineers.
Self-driving cars have already tested on public roads. These cars not only record images of the road, but their
computerized maps view road signs, find alternative routes and see traffic lights even before they are seen by a person.
By using radars and cameras, the cars can analyse information about their surroundings faster than a human can.
In some of the tests, the car learn the details of a road by driving on it several times, and when it is time to drive itself, it
can identify when there are pedestrians crossing and then stops to let them pass by. Self-driving cars could make
transport safer for all of us by eliminating the cause of most of today’s accidents.
Although self-driving cars may seem far off, some people believe that there will be driverless cars in showrooms in
about 10 years.
1. What is the main idea of the passage?

Question III. Read the paragraph and choose the right answer (5 points)

            The idea of a driverless car is not new. Now there are already cars on the road that can park themselves. But a truly self- driving car, one that can drive itself is being tested by scientists and engineers.

            Self- driving cars have already tested on public roads. These cars not only record images of the road, but their computerized maps view road signs, find alternative routes and see traffic lights even before they are seen by a person. By using radars and cameras, the cars can analyze information about their surroundings faster than a human can.

            In some of the tests, the car learn the details of a road by driving on it several times, and when it is time to drive itself, it can identify when there are pedestrians crossing and then stops to let them pass by. Self- driving cars could make transport safer for all of us eliminating the cause of most today's accidents.

            Although self- driving cars may seem far off, some people believe that there will be driverless cars in showrooms in about 10 years.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

     Most journeys in Britain and the US are made by road. Some of these are made on public transport but most are by private car.

     In Britain many people rely on their cars for daily local activities, e.g. getting to work, doing the shopping, and visiting friends. People living in urban areas may use buses, trains or, in London, the Underground, to get to city centres, mainly because traffic is often heavy and it is difficult to find anywhere to park a car. Some places in the country may have a bus only two or three times a week so people living there have no choice but to rely on their cars.

     In the US, large cities have good public transportation systems. The El railroad in Chicago and the underground systems of New York, Boston, San Francisco and Washington, DC are heavily used. Elsewhere, most Americans prefer to use their cars. Families often have two cars and, outside major cities, have to drive fairly long distances to schools, offices, shops, banks, etc. Many college and even high-school students have their own cars.

     Long-distance travel in Britain is also mainly by road, though railways link most towns and cities. Most places are linked by motorways or other fast roads and many people prefer to drive at their own convenience rather than use a train, even though they may get stuck in a traffic jam. Long-distance coach/bus services are usually a cheaper alternative to trains, but they take longer and may be less comfortable. Some long-distance travel, especially that undertaken for business reasons, may be by air. There are regular flights between regional airports, as well as to and from London. A lot of freight is also distributed by road, though heavier items and raw materials often go by rail.

     In the US much long-distance travel is by air. America has two main long-distance bus companies, Greyhound and Trailways. Amtrak, the national network, provides rail services for passengers. Private railway companies such as Union Pacific now carry only freight, though in fact over 70% of freight goes by road.

     The main problems associated with road transport in both Britain and the US are traffic congestion and pollution. It is predicted that the number of cars on British roads will increase by a third within a few years, making both these problems worse. The British government would like more people to use public transport, but so far they have had little success in persuading people to give up their cars or to share rides with neighbours. Most people say that public transport is simply not good enough. Americans too have resisted government requests to share cars because it is less convenient and restricts their freedom. Petrol/gasoline is relatively cheap in the US and outside the major cities public transport is bad, so they see no reason to use their cars less.

It is stated in the passage that the major problems of road transport in Britain and the US are __________.

A. speeding and bad roads

B. accidents and pollution

C. traffic jams and pollution

D. drink-driving and traffic jams

3.If there were fewer cars on the road, there (be) ________________ less pollution.

4.If people really cared about the environment, they ( not dump ) ________________ waste into the lake.

5.If there was no fresh water in the world, what (happen) ________________.

6.If you (be) ________________ the president, what would you do to help the environment ?

7.They get sick so often.If they exercised more, they (be) ________________ heathier.

8.If I (have) ________________ one million US dollars , I would build more parks in our city.

9.Quan’s mother is unhappy.If Quan tided his room every day, his mother (not be) __________

so upset.

10.There isn’t a garden at house .If there were, we (grow) ________________ vegetables.
