Self-driving vehicles will rely on cameras, sensors and artificial intelligence（AI）to recognize and respond to road and traffic conditions, but sensing is the most effective for objects and movement in the neighborhood of the vehicle. Not everything important in a car's environment will be caught by the vehicle's camera. Another vehicle approaching at high speed on a collision （碰撞）track might not be visible until it's too late. This is why vehicle-to-vehicle communication is undergoing rapid development. Our research shows that cars will need to be able to chat and cooperate on the road, although the technical challenges are considerable.
Applications for vehicle-to-vehicle communication range from vehicles driving together in a row, to safety messages about nearby emergency vehicles. Vehicles could alert each other to avoid collisions or share notices about passers-by and bicycles.
From as far as several hundred metres away, vehicles could exchange messages with one another or receive information from roadside units（RSUs）about nearby incidents or dangerous road conditions through 4G network A high level of A1 seems required for such vehicles, not only to self-drive from A to B, but also to react intelligently to messages received. Vehicles will need to plan, reason, strategize and adapt in the light of information received in real time and to carry out cooperative behaviours. For example, a group of autonomous vehicles might avoid a route together because of potential risks, or a vehicle could decide to drop someone off earlier due to messages received, a foreseen crowding ahead.
Further applications of vehicle-to-vehicle communication are still being researched, including how to perform cooperative behaviour.
（1）What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A.The reasons for the accidents by self-driving vehicles.
B.The research about applications for self-driving vehicles.
C.The importance of artificial intelligence of self-driving vehicles.
D.The reasons for developing communication between self-driving vehicles.
（2）What does the underlined word “alert” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Alarm.
B.Condemn.
C.Ignore.
D.Govern.
（3）What can we learn about roadside units （RSUs）?
A.They classify the vehicles on the road.
B.They can improve bad road conditions.
C.They take over the passing vehicles.
D.They serve as efficient information stations.
（4）What is the best title for the text?
A.When do vehicles communicate?
B.The reasons why a high level of AI is important
C.Vehicle-to-vehicle communication is coming
D.What do applications for vehicle-to-vehicle communication need?

“My family was so frustrated，” admitted town resident Duane Cosby, “We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing，but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”

Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been complaining about this problem for many years. They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.

Besides professional and amateur(業(yè)余的) star observers, there is yet a population that suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds，bats, frogs, and snakes etc. For example, outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(遷徙的)birds. According to the International DarkSky Association, “100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers. ”

Countless animals injuries and deaths result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but some scientists think it can be harmful to humans, too. They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase people's chances of getting cancer.

Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution. For years, Flagstaff, Arizona has enforced lighting rules in its city in order to help astronomers with their observations. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so that other creatures can share the night.

【1】It happened last night that ________．

A. the city's lights affected the meteor watching

B. the meteors flew past before being noticed

C. the city’s lights show attracted many people

D. the meteor watching ended in a social outing

【2】According to Paragraph 4, we know that ________．

A. birds may take other migration paths

B. animals' living habits may change suddenly

C. varieties of animals will become sharply reduced

D. animals' survival is threatened by outdoor lighting

【3】Lighting rules in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect to ________．

A. reduce the chance of getting cancer

B. create an ideal observation condition

C. ensure people a good sleep at night

D. enable all creatures to live in harmony

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A. Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.

B. Great efforts should be made to save energy.

C. Human activities should be environmentally friendly.

D. New equipment should be introduced for space study.

注意：1.詞數(shù)100左右。信的開頭和結(jié)尾已寫好，不計(jì)入總詞數(shù)。

2.可適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié)，以使行文連貫。
