五、阅读表达
阅读短文，根据要求完成文后的题目。
(2018·山东济宁金乡5月模拟)Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computerdriven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Companies like Google and Tesla have been designing and testing these cars, and the technology is, there.
So how? The cars have sensors(感应器) all around which can find other cars and objects in the road. Road signs are read by cameras, and satellite navigation systems(卫星导航系统) are used so the car knows how to get where you want to go. All you have to do is type in the address! Finally, a central computer system takes in all the information that it receives from the sensors and cameras and works out when to speed up, stop and turn.
Sound like your idea of heaven(天堂)? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while “driving” would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn't have to worry about remembering directions to where you're going. In addition, computers would also drive more safely than people—they would obey the rules and have quicker action times when in dangerous situations.
However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties

making ethical(道德的) decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or turn suddenly and potentially kill the car's passengers? Moreover, I personally find driving fun—I'd miss never driving a car myself. There would also be many other decisions to be made—should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves? Or would there need to be a person with a driving license in the car at all times?
I'm not certain I'd want a driverless car—but it's only a matter of time before they'll become more affordable and popular on our roads.

六、Good morning, boys and girls!
The topic of my speech today is “Reading makes my life colorful”. I love reading. Reading is very important. We can get knowledge through reading. It can not only open our minds, but also make us cleverer and happier. Our study can be improved if we read more good books. The more we read, the more we will learn and the brighter our future will become. I usually read after school. Books about history and nature are my favorites.
However, some students spend much time in listening to music, watching TV or going online to play games. It takes much of their spare time. So I would like to suggest that everyone should read more books, especially read classics so that we can spread our Chinese traditional culture to the world.
Let's start reading now. And let it become a part of our life!
