Welcome to Mcity, a fake “city” built by researchers who are testing out the driverless cars of the future.‎ The controlled test environment, which opened today (July 20, 2015) at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, covers 32 acres (the size of about 24 football fields) and contains all the trappings of a real suburb or small city. There is an entire network of roads lined with sidewalks, streetlights, stop signs and traffic signals. There’s even a “downtown” area complete with fake buildings and outdoor dining areas.‎ The idea behind Mcity is simple: test out new driverless car innovations in a human-free environment before these technologies are unleashed in the real world.‎ ‎"Mcity is a safe, controlled, and realistic environment where we are going to figure out how the incredible potential of connected and automated vehicles can be realized quickly, efficiently and safely," Peter Sweatman, director of the Mobility Transformation Center at U-M, said in a statement.‎ The roads of Mcity are built to stand up to “rigorous, repeatable” testing, according to MTC officials. While Mcity drivers don't have to compete with real pedestrians, there will be one mechanical foot-traveler (a robot-like machine named Sebastian) that steps out into traffic to see whether the automated cars can hit the brakes in time. The fake city also features a traffic circle, a bridge, a tunnel, some unpaved roads, and even a four-lane highway with entrance and exit ramps, according to a report by Bloomberg Business.‎ In addition to evaluating fully automated, or driverless cars, the researchers also hope to test out so-called connected vehicles within Mcity’s limits. Connected cars can either communicate with one another (vehicle-to-vehicle control, or V2V) or with pieces of equipment, such as traffic lights, that are located near roadways (vehicle-to-infrastructure control, or V2I).‎ Even the smallest details of Mcity have been planned out in advance to copy the conditions that connected and automated vehicles could face in the real world. For example, there are street signs covered up with graffiti, and faded yellow and white lane markings line the streets.‎ Mcity is just one part of a much larger project that MTC and its partner organizations are establishing in an effort to get a whole fleet of connected and driverless cars on the road in Ann Arbor by 2021. In addition to the fake city, MTC is also continuing to launch connected and semi-autonomous(半自动) cars on real roadways. Eventually, the University of Michigan and the Michigan Department of Transportation said they hope to put 20,000 connected cars on the roads of southern Michigan.‎ ‎21.According to the passage, Mcity ________.‎ A. is a real town used to evaluate the function of future cars B. is a fake city with transportation system but no pedestrians C. covers an area of 32 acres with as many as 24 football fields D. owns a downtown area with a bridge and some unpaved roads ‎22.Why did researchers build Mcity?‎ A. To test new driverless cars.‎ B. To make a real suburb or small city.‎ C. To control road environment.‎ D. To build an entire network of roads.‎ ‎23.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.‎ A. some connected and semi-autonomous cars have been put into use B. the researchers plans to create a robot-like machine to direct the traffic C. the widespread use of driverless cars will soon come into reality in America D. MTC is attempting to make connected and driverless cars available on real roads ‎24.How does the passage mainly develop?‎ A. By presenting descriptions of the design.‎ B. By describing a cause and its effects.‎ C. By providing the time order.‎ D. By comparing the opinions.‎ B July is a month of fun-filled activities for kids and teens as long as you know where to find them. When you want some fun activities for July, consider these ideas happening in this month.‎ Secret of the Dragon Time Monday, July 1, 2017, 10:30 a.m.‎ Cost Adult:$7.40 Children(under15): half Booking Phone the booking office:34032578‎ Address Brisbane Botanic Gardens Note Secret of the Dragon is a magical story about 2 children who are taken on a dragon ride to explore the universe.‎ The Search for life: Are We Alone?‎ Time Thursday, July 4, 2017, 2:00 p.m.‎ Cost Adult:$14.50‎ Children(under15): $8.70‎ Booking Phone the booking office:34037689‎ Address Brisbane Botanic Gardens Note Are we truly alone in space?

Covering an area of over 4,000 square kilometers. Qinghai Lake is also the country's biggest saltwater lake. Located in Northwest China's Qinghai Province, the lake is famous for the two islands at its northwest point—Cormorant Island and Egg Island. The two islands have plenty of floating grass and various schools of fish,‎ ‎ offering rich food sources for birds. The islands have become a paradise for different kinds of groups of birds and have been called“Bird Islands”．‎ Each March and April, when ice and snow covering the QinghaiTibet Plateau starts to melt, over 20 kinds of birds fly to the Bird Islands to lay eggs. During the months, flocks of birds cover the whole sky over the islands and birds eggs can be found everywhere. Visitors can hear the singing of birds from miles away. These have become a world famous symbol of the lake.‎ To protect this paradise for birds and support calls for ecological protection, China set up the Qinghai Lake Natural Protection Zone at the end of 1997.Meanwhile, the State has pointed out the Bird Islands and Spring bay of the Qinghai Lake as central protection zones.‎ Inspection officials and management employees often patrol the lake, improving local residents' knowledge of related laws and spreading knowledge about animal protection to visitors. They are making great efforts to call on people to love and protect the birds. At the same time, they have built special fences around the island area to prevent wolves, foxes and other carnivorous animals, as well as illegal hunters from breaking up the birds' nestbuilding, egglaying and breeding. As a result, more and more birds are coming to the islands for sheltering and breeding.‎ ‎28.Why are more and more birds coming to the biggest saltwater lake in the Great Northwest?‎ A. Because it is getting warmer and warmer. B. Because it is being reformed C. Because environments there are getting more and more agreeable for them to live in. D. Because the people there are becoming richer and richer ‎29.The birds feed on_______according to the passage.‎ A. floating fish and various grass B. grass moving on the water surface and different kinds of fish C. salt water and plenty of grains D. corn from the local farmers ‎30.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. The ice and snow covering the QinghaiTibet Plateau doesn't change into water, unless more than 20 kinds of birds come to the Bird Islands.‎ B. Flocks of birds fly up to the whole sky over islands to lay eggs.‎ C. Visitors can listen to the singing of birds from miles away, but they couldn't see any bird D. “The ice on the Plateau begins to change into water” means spring is coming.‎ ‎31.The officials go around the lake mainly to________.‎ A. let the farmers there know the animal protection law B. tell the farmers there some knowledge about animal protection C. call on people to love and protect the birds D. all of the above D Self-driving vehicles(车辆) will rely on cameras, sensors and artificial intelligence (人工智能) to recognize and respond to road and traffic conditions, but sensing is the most effective for objects and movement in the neighborhood of the vehicle. Not everything important in a car’s environment will be caught by the vehicle’s camera. Another vehicle approaching at high speed on a collision (碰撞) track might not be visible until it’s too late. This is why vehicle-to-vehicle communication is undergoing rapid development. Our research shows that cars will need to be able to chat and cooperate on the road, although the technical challenges are still great.‎ The usages of vehicle-to-vehicle communication contain vehicles driving together in a row, as well as safety messages about nearby emergency vehicles. Vehicles could alert each other to avoid collisions or share notices about passers-by and bicycles. From as far as several hundred metres away, vehicles could exchange messages with one another or receive information from roadside units(RSUs) about nearby incidents or dangerous road conditions through 4G network. A high level of AI seems required for such vehicles, not only to self-drive from A to B, but also to react intelligently to messages received. Vehicles will need to plan, reason, strategize and adapt according to information received in real time and to carry out cooperative behaviors. For example, a group of autonomous vehicles might avoid a route together because of possible risks, or a vehicle could decide to drop someone off earlier due to messages received, a foreseen crowding ahead.‎ Further applications(应用) of vehicle-to-vehicle communication are still being researched, including how to perform cooperative behavior.‎ ‎32.What is the first paragraph mainly about?‎ A. The reasons for the accidents by self-driving vehicles.‎ B. The research about how to use self-driving vehicles.‎ C. The reasons for developing communication between self-driving vehicles.‎ D. The importance of artificial intelligence of self-driving vehicles.‎ ‎33.What does the underlined word “alert” mean in Paragraph 2?‎ A. change. B. tell. C. ignore. D. warn.‎ ‎34.What can we learn about roadside units (RSUs)?‎ A. They classify the vehicles on the road.‎ B. They serve as efficient information stations.‎ C. They take over the passing vehicles.‎ D. They can change bad road conditions.‎ ‎35.What is the best title for the text?‎ A. When do vehicles communicate?‎ B. Vehicle-to-vehicle communication is coming C. The reasons why a high level of AI is important D. What do applications for vehicle-to-vehicle communication need?‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 ‎ Your children are watching you. 36.
