（2017年温州市高三第二次模拟）ADavid was about 8 when he learned how to swim. He got so good that he eventually picked up free diving, a sport where drivers hold their breath until resurfacing instead of using breathing equipment. He never imagined nearly two decades later he would come to use that skill in such a way.It is an extraordinary act of courage, but to have the moment caught on camera for the world to see is something else entirely. The scene was filmed by someone on the same boat and was put online. The video was shared immediately by national and global media.That August day began with David boating around with his friends. They spotted a woman driving a bright red Mazda heading right into high water. David and his crew tried to warn her to stop, but by then it was too late, and the car had already slid under water.In the moments before David jumped into those muddy floodwaters to tear the roof off the car with his bare hands, his thought process was short. In fact, he didn‟t have one.“The car was sinking fast,” David says. “There was no time to think. It had to be done.”Up until recently, David hadn‟t reunited with the woman he saved. He was perfectly fine with saving a stranger and remaining unknown to her.Still to this day, even after the attention the video received, after the media from all over the globe landed on his front yard, David doesn‟t think it a big deal. “I think I was just lucky,” David says, smiling. “I happened to be at the right place at the right time.”1.

They would define the driver‟s role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future. Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses property(财产) damage over personal injury; that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race; and that if a human removes his orher hands from the driving wheel-to check e-mail, say-the car‟s maker is responsible if there is a crash.“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving,” says Dobrindt. “ It will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human driver,” he says.Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers, consumers and lawyers. “The liability(法律责任) issue is the biggest one of them all,”says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds, UK.An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars, introduced earlier this year, insists that a human “ be watchful and monitoring the road” at every moment.But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars. “When you say …driverless cars‟, people expect driverless cars,” Merat says. “You know-no driver.”Because of the confusion, Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without human operation.“Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own”, says Ryan Calo at Stanford University, California. That is happening in the UK and Singapore, where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched.That would go down poorly in the US, however. “The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,” says Calo.7. What does the phrase “death valley” in Para. 2 refer to?A. A place where cars often break down.B. A case where passing a law is impossible.C. An area where no driving is permitted.D. A situation where drivers‟ role is not clear.8. The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to_________.A. stop people from breaking traffic rulesB. help promote fully automatic drivingC. protect drivers of all ages and racesD. prevent serious property damage9. What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars?A. It should get the attention of insurance companies.B. It should be the main concern of law makers.C. It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.D .It should involve no human responsibility.10. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Autonomous driving: Whose liability?B. Fully automatic cars: a new breakthroughC. Autonomous vehicles: Driver removed!D. Driverless cars: root of road accidents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。
