中国首条智能超级公路将于2022年开通
Zhejiang will open China’s first “intelligent” super expressway by 2022. It will increase safety and higher average traffic speeds of up to 120 km per hour.
The six-lane, 161-km freeway linking Zhejiang’s northern cities of Hangzhou, Shaoxing and Ningbo will be completed before the opening of the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou. The main idea is to build a comprehensive(综合的) sensing system that links the driver, the car and the road. It can provide monitoring and early warnings of dangers to maintain(维持) the safety of cars while increasing the speed by 20-30%, said Ren Zhong, deputy director of the Zhejiang Province Transportation Department.
The expressway will be made of three layers: transparent concrete on the top, photovoltaic panels in the middle to produce electricity, and insulation on the bottom. The expressway will include equipment to support the use of electric cars, including solar powered plug-in charging stations(太阳能充电站). In the long run, the goal is to allow drivers to recharge their cars using mobile wireless charging technology.
1.Which is NOT true about China’s first “intelligent” super expressway?
A It has six lanes.
B It won’t open until 2022.
C It links Hangzhou, Shaoxing and Ningbo.
D Cars must run more than 120 km per hour on it.
解析：选D。D 细节理解题。根据第一段以及第二段第一句可知该公路将于2022年建成，有六条车道，连接杭州、绍兴和宁波三个城市。第一段第二句只说在该公路上时速可高达120公里，并不是说车速必须在120公里以上，D不正确。故选D。
2.What can the sensing system do?
A It can link the driver, the car and the road.
B It can provide early warnings of dangers.
C It can ensure the safety of cars in high speed.
D It can stop the car from speeding up.
解析：选D。D 细节理解题。根据第二段第二三句可知，这种综合传感系统连接驾驶员、汽车和道路，它能提供危险监测和早期预警，以维持汽车的安全，同时提高20-30%的速度，由此可知D项（阻止汽车提速）不正确，故选D。
3.Which of the following can make electricity?
A Insulation.
B Transparent concrete.
C Photovoltaic panels.
D Exchange systems.
解析：选C。C 细节理解题。根据第三段中“photovoltaic panels in the middle to produce electricity”可知，发电层是photovoltaic panels，故选C。
4.What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “recharge”?
A 充电.
B 收费.
C 充值.
D 填充.
解析：选A。A 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中前面的photovoltaic panels以及后面的mobile wireless, charging technology等词组可推测recharge的意思是“充电”，故选A。
5.In which part of a newspaper can this passage appear?
A Sports.
B Entertainment.
C History.
D Transportation.
解析：选D。D 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍中国将建成第一条智能超级公路，应属于交通方面的内容，故选D。
