Answer the questions(根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題).
Later this year,Beijing will start the country's first driverless subway trains.The Yanfang Line—connecting part of Fangshan District centre—will be the first to try out driverless technology.
According to the experts in public transportation,the new trains will make the underground railway system better.They will have an upgraded (升級的) operating system.They will reach 80 km per hour and carry more than 1,200 passengers.
The development of driverless technology is opening up in other areas of transport.Driverless cars have been a dream for many people.And in the past few years,big car companies,including Volkswagen and Toyota,have made lots of studies while they are competing with other companies,such as Google.
But with no tracks (軌道) to run on,how will driverless cars be safe?This technology is made up of many sensors (傳感器) including radar and GPS.This gives the car an exact position in the world,as well as what's around it.It also allows the car to see moving objects,like other cars and people.
Pilot-free planes have also become a hot technology topic.Yet while these new kinds of technology are seen as better and safer,they do have problems.They cannot work at all without the help of computers.Just like humans,computers make mistakes—although less often.And like much of technology,it makes many workers lose their jobs.What will happen to the future bus drivers and pilots?
(1)Will Beijing start the country's first driverless subway trains?
Yes,it will.
Yes,it will.
(2)How many passengers will the driverless subways train carry? More than 1,200 passengers.
More than 1,200 passengers.
(3)What did the big companies do about the driverless technology? They have made lots of studies.
They have made lots of studies.
(4)Why will driverless cars be safe? Because the technology is made up of many sensors including radar and GPS.
Because the technology is made up of many sensors including radar and GPS.
(5)What does the writer mainly tell us in the last paragraph? The new kinds of technology have problems.
The new kinds of technology have problems.
(6)Do you think bus drivers and pilots will lose their jobs in the future? Yes.
Yes.
Why or why not? Many big companies have made lots of studies,the technology is made up of many sensors including radar and GPS,so it is safe.In the future,people will use the new technology instead of drivers.
