On December 15th, China’s Ministry f Industry and Infrmatin Technlgy annunced sme exciting news. Tw new car mdels, develped by Chinese cmpanies and equipped with Level 3 (L3) autnmus (自动驾驶的) driving technlgy, have been apprved fr rad use. This is a key step fr China’s smart car industry. It pushes the cuntry clser t the era f practical self-driving travel.
What is L3 autnmus driving? It is als called “cnditinal autmatin”. This means the car can cmplete mst driving tasks in specific situatins. On highways r fast city rads, the car can drive by itself. It can handle steering (转向), speeding up, slwing dwn, and even aviding small bstacles (障碍物). The driver des nt need t watch the rad all the time. Hwever, he r she must stay ready t take ver. Fr example, if an animal suddenly crsses the rad, the car will warn the driver. The driver then has 10 secnds t take back cntrl. This apprval is a significant milestne (里程碑) fr the cmmercial (商业的) use f autnmus driving technlgy in China. Befre this, mst smart cars n the market had Level 2 (L2) driving assistance systems. These systems culd nly prvide basic help. Fr instance, they can warn the driver if the car drifts ut f its lane, r autmatically brake (刹车) t avid cllisins (碰撞). But the driver still needed t cntrl the car at all times. Nw, L3 cars can take full cntrl in specific areas. This means China has fficially entered the stage f “cnditinal self-driving” cmmercial trials (试验). It als shws that China’s smart car technlgy is nw amng the wrld’s leading levels.
Experts say L3 technlgy can make driving safer, since mst car accidents are caused by human mistakes. But we shuld remember that L3 is nt “full self-driving”. The driver must always be ready t take cntrl! As the technlgy imprves, self-driving cars may ne day make ur trips mre cnvenient and safe, changing the way peple travel in the future.
31. Which f the fllwing driving tasks can a Level 3 (L3) car NOT perfrm by itself?
A. Accelerating and slwing dwn n a highway.
B. Steering t stay in the crrect lane.
C. Aviding a small rck n a fast city rad.
D. Cmpleting all tasks in specific situatins.
32. What des the underlined phrase “take ver” in Paragraph 2 mst likely mean in the cntext?
A. T buy the car.
B. T repair the car.
C. T stp the car cmpletely.
D. T start driving the car manually (手动地).
33. What is the writer’s attitude twards the self-driving cars in the future?
A. Dubtful.B. Wrried.
C. Supprtive.D. Surprised.
34. Hw is L3 different frm L2 accrding t the passage?
A. L2 systems can avid bstacles autmatically.
B. L3 cars require the driver t cntrl the car all the time.
C. L3 can take full cntrl in specific situatins.
D. L2 is a type f full self-driving technlgy.

六、任务型阅读 （共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文后表格空白处填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每空只填一个单词。
Hw is yur memry? If we can’t remember hw t d smething, we can’t survive. If yu think abut it, there is s much we have t remember—frm where we left ur car keys t hw we walk.
Maybe it’s nt surprising that smetimes we frget things.
Scientists believe there are tw levels f memry. One is shrt-term memry, which stays in yur brain fr nly 15-30 secnds, fr example, when yu hear a sng but can’t remember the wrds afterwards. The ther level is lng-term memry, which can be stred fr days, mnths r even years.
There are many uses fr memry. Mtr-skill memry (运动技能记忆) helps yu remember hw t ride a bike r ther activities, which can be shrt r lng term. Emtinal memry makes yu think f hw yu felt abut smething and can be strng and pwerful. They are lng term.
Memries can tell yu the stry f yurself. Infrmatin, such as which schl yu g t and wh yur friends are, is stred inside yur brain, ready fr when yu need it. It’s much easier t remember all thse facts, r frmulas r whatever it is yu’re learning if yu have a gd memry. Memries can als help yu manage feelings. Heidi, 12, tld The Week Junir, “If I miss seeing my granny and grandad, I remember staying with them in Devn. It makes me feel happy.”
Our memry is amazing, but why d we still frget things? There is ne pssibility that we dn’t always stre infrmatin in ur memry effectively. When we d stre infrmatin, we ften make cnnectins with ther things, which helps us recall it later. If yu dn’t have these cnnectins, then it can be easier t frget. There is anther pssibility that memries decay ver time. As they have nt been revisited, their bilgical “trace” becmes weak.
Hwever, remembering everything may waste cgnitive resurces, s smetimes frgetting is a gd thing if we dn’t remember every detail f the wrld arund us. That’s smething valuable wrth remembering!
