When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez makes a nte f any unusual behaviur she sees n the rad. She then feeds these int machine-learning algrithms （算法）, a frm f AI, which she is helping develp fr Prsche Engineering.
Thse algrithms are intended t prduce a system reliable enugh fr a car t drive itself. Such a fully autnmus car, knwn in the industry as Level 5, shuld be able t cmplete an entire jurney withut any interventin （介入） frm the driver, and deal with all situatins n the rad. But this is prving hard t achieve, and many attempts t d s are being abandned. Last year, fr instance, Uber sld ff its unit develping self-driving cars.
Autnmus vehicles are said t be nt just cnvenient but ptentially safer. Hwever, just as peple take time t learn hw t drive safely, s d machines. And machines are nt quick learners. The RAND Crpratin calculates that t develp a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100self-driving cars wuld have t perate 24 hurs a day, 365 days a year.
Carmakers such as Prsche therefre speed up the develpment prcess using simulatrs (模拟器). These teach sftware abut dangers rarely encuntered in reality. Dr Martinez and her clleagues emply "game engines" t d this. These are used t create virtual wrlds thrugh which the sftware can drive. Objects in these virtual wrlds are assigned their physical characteristics (ie, buildings are hard, peple are sft) s that the sensrs in vehicles respnd in the apprpriate way. Once the sftware has been trained, it is tested in real autnmus vehicles by re-creating thse situatins n a test track.
Hw quickly all this will translate int reality remains t be seen. Bth regulatrs and custmers will need t vercme the dubt that a sftware driver really can be safer than a human being.
Frm Prsche’s pint f view, thugh, there is anther questin. Given that much f the reasn wning a sprts car is fr wners t shw ff their driving skills, just hw big a market will there be fr a versin where sftware takes thse bragging （炫耀的） rights away?
8． Why des Clara-Marina Martinez nte the unusual behaviur n the rad?
A.T market Prsche cars.
B.T imprve an AI technlgy.
C.T learn t be a respnsible driver.
D.T enjy riding in a self-driving car.
9．The prblem with self-driving cars is that .
A.they learn as slwly as human beings
B.they perate fr a very shrt perid f time
C.they have t be mnitred by human drivers
D.they need a lng time t reach a certain safety level
10． What des the underlined wrd "this" in paragraph 4 refer t?
A.Emplying simulatrs n a test track.
B.Speeding the develpment f prcess.
C.Figuring ut the physical rad dangers.
D.Separating the real wrld frm the virtual wrld.
11． What wrries Prsche accrding t the last paragraph?

B.The future f the sprts car market.
C.The driving skills f human beings.
D.The quality f self-driving cars in the future.
Studies have shwn the mere expsure effect, als referred t as the familiarity principle, inspires ur decisins. It is a helpful psychlgical mechanism that helps us sustain ur energy and fcus ur attentin n ther things. Getting used t new things takes effrt and it can be exhausting. S unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely t buy frm cmpanies we’ve gt used t. That is why cmpanies spend s much mney n advertising and marketing and why insurance cmpanies penly charge existing custmers mre than new nes.
It’s nt the case that we nly desire things we already knw. Sme studies suggest when invited t share ur preferences, we smetimes see less familiar ptins as mre desirable. But when acting n that preference, we fall back t what we knw. This might explain why smetimes the things we want and the things we d dn’t quite match up. We might even return t cmpanies that treated us prly in the past r stay in bad relatinships.
It’s easy t paint the familiarity principle as an enemy r smething t battle as if it is smething that hlds us back frm living ur dreams. But this attitude might be verwhelming because it tends t encurage us tward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a substantial dramatic swing that we dn’t feel ready fr. Sme articles suggest the slutin t familiarity frustratin is cmplete expsure t nvelty. While this can appear effective in the shrt run, we may nly end up replacing ne prblem with anther. It als risks verwhelm and burnut.
S what if we can wrk with the familiarity principle instead? Familiarity is smething we can learn t play with and enjy. It is a setting fr creativity and a pathway t expansin. We can braden the zne f familiarity bit by bit. If we think f familiarity as smething that can expand, we can cnsider changing the cnditins in and arund ur lives t make mre space fr ur preferences t take rt and grw gently. Frm here, we will start t make decisins, drawing frm an ever-deepening pl f valuable ptins.
12．What allws insurance cmpanies t charge ld custmers mre?
A.The imprved service.
B.The advertising cst.
C.The familiarity principle.
D.The law f the market.
13．What can be learned frm paragraph 2?
A.Our preferences affect ur decisins.
B.Familiarity tends t generate disrespect.
C.The familiarity principle is a duble-edged swrd.
D.There can be a mismatch between desires and actins.
14．What is the authr’s attitude twards the slutin in sme articles?
A.Disapprving.
B.Tlerant.
C.Objective.
D.Reserved.
15．Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A.Step Out Of Yur Familiarity Zne
B.Spare A Thught Fr Yur Preference
C.Gently Expand Yur Familiarity Zne
D.Give Pririty T The Mere Expsure Effect

The RAND Crpratin calculates that t develp a system 20% safer than a human driver, 100self-driving cars wuld have t perate 24 hurs a day, 365 days a year. （据说自动驾驶汽车不仅方便,而且可能更安全。然而,正如人们花时间学习如何安全驾驶一样,机器也是如此。机器不是快速学习者。兰德公司计算出,要开发一个比人类驾驶员安全20%的系统,100辆自动驾驶汽车必须一年365天,每天24小时运行）"可知,自动驾驶汽车需要长时间学习如何安全驾驶,即自动驾驶汽车需要很长时间才能达到一定的安全水平。由此推知,自动驾驶汽车的问题是：需要很长时间才能达到一定的安全水平。故选D。

Given that much f the reasn fr wning a sprts car is fr wners t shw ff their driving skills, just hw big a market will there be fr a versin where sftware takes thse bragging rights （炫耀的权利） away? （不过,从保时捷的角度来看,还有另一个问题。鉴于拥有跑车的大部分原因是为了让车主炫耀他们的驾驶技能,对于软件剥夺了那些炫耀的权利这一版本,市场会有多大?）"可知,买跑车的原因是为了炫技,但软件剥夺了车主炫技的权利。由此推知,保时捷公司担心跑车市场的未来。故选B。
12．答案： C
解析： 细节理解题。根据文章第一段"Studies have shwn the mere expsure effect, als referred t as the familiarity principle, inspires ur decisins. It is a helpful psychlgical mechanism that helps us sustain ur energy and fcus ur attentin n ther things. Getting used t new things takes effrt and it can be exhausting. S unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely t buy frm cmpanies we've gt used t. That is why cmpanies spend s much mney n advertising and marketing and why insurance cmpanies penly charge existing custmers mre than new nes.（研究表明,单纯的暴露效应,也被称为熟悉原则,会激发我们的决定。这是一种有益的心理机制,可以帮助我们保持精力充沛,并将注意力集中在其他事情上。习惯新事物需要努力,而且可能会让人筋疲力尽。因此,除非我们有糟糕的经历,否则我们很可能会从我们已经习惯的公司购买股票。这就是为什么公司在广告和营销上花那么多钱,为什么保险公司公开向现有客户收取比新客户更高的费用。）"可知,熟悉原则让保险公司向老客户收取更多费用。故选C。
13．答案： D
解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第二段"It’s nt the case that we nly desire things we already knw. Sme studies suggest when invited t share ur preferences, we smetimes see less familiar ptins as mre desirable. But when acting n that preference, we fall back t what we knw. This might explain why smetimes the things we want and the things we d dn’t quite match up. We might even return t cmpanies that treated us prly in the past r stay in bad relatinships.（这并不是说我们只想要已知的东西。一些研究表明,当被邀请分享我们的偏好时,我们有时会认为不太熟悉的选择更可取。但当我们按照这种偏好行事时,我们又回到了我们所知道的。这也许可以解释为什么有时候我们想要的和我们做的并不完全匹配。我们甚至可能回到过去对我们不好的公司,或者保持糟糕的关系。）"可知,本段解释了为什么有时候我们想要的和我们做的并不完全匹配,也就是说有时候我们的欲望和行动可能不匹配。故选D。
14．答案： A
解析： 推理判断题。根据文章第三段"While this can appear effective in the shrt run, we may nly end up replacing ne prblem with anther. It als risks verwhelm and burnut.（虽然这在短期内看起来是有效的,但我们最终可能只是用一个问题代替另一个问题。它也有让人不堪重负和精疲力竭的风险。）"可知,这段话表明作者对文章中提出的解决方案持反对态度,认为这种解决方案可能只是暂时有效,而且可能带来新的问题和风险。因此,作者的态度是反对的。故选A。
15．答案： C
解析： 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段"Studies have shwn the mere expsure effect, als referred t as the familiarity principle, inspires ur decisins. It is a helpful psychlgical mechanism that helps us sustain ur energy and fcus ur attentin n ther things. Getting used t new things takes effrt and it can be exhausting.（研究表明,单纯的暴露效应,也被称为熟悉原则,会激发我们的决定。这是一种有益的心理机制,可以帮助我们保持精力充沛,并将注意力集中在其他事情上。习惯新事物需要努力,而且可能会让人筋疲力尽。）"以及最后一段"We can braden the zne f familiarity bit by bit. If we think f familiarity as smething that can expand, we can cnsider changing the cnditins in and arund ur lives t make mre space fr ur preferences t take rt and grw gently. Frm here, we will start t make decisins, drawing frm an ever-deepening pl f valuable ptins.（我们可以一点一点地扩大熟悉的范围。如果我们认为熟悉是一种可以扩展的东西,我们可以考虑改变我们生活中的环境,为我们的喜好提供更多的空间,让它生根发芽。从这里开始,我们将从越来越多的有价值的选择中做出决定。）"可知,文章主要讨论了熟悉性原则对我们决策的影响,以及如何利用这一原则进行创新和拓展。文章强调了我们可以逐步扩大熟悉的范围,通过改变生活中的条件,为我们的偏好提供更多的空间,使其能够生根并温和地成长。因此,选项C"Gently Expand Yur Familiarity Zne"最能概括文章的主题,即鼓励读者在保持熟悉感的同时,逐渐扩展自己的舒适区。故选C。
16．答案： G； B； E； F； C
解析： ①根据空前Here 's the bad news .及空后They listen t each ther . They read each thers emtins可知,空项应该会提到好消息,否则前后文衔接不上,故G项符合。
②空前谈到因受传统观念的束缚,男孩懂事后倾向于掩饰自己的真实情感,并为之道歉。下文则谈到了他们到底该怎么做,故B项因此,这才是他们应该做的正好起到了承上启下的作用。
③根据空前… s stp blaming yurself 及空后If yu accept yur wn desire fr clse relatinship in yur life , yu will find the friendship 。可知,空项应该有一个转折,故E项相反,男孩应该突破那些画地为牢的陈腐观念符合。
