二、 书面表达
19. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
In the popular imagination, the rise of self-driving cars will mean greener cities, saferroads, and happier workers. With technology, speeding, braking, and reaccelerating -whichare responsible for much of the gas burned on roads, today and the resulting air pollution-would be a memory. But despite these opportunities, there are certain reasons why driverlessvehicles may fail to live up to some of these expectations, or at least take a little while longerto achieve them.
First, truly automated technology - at least the kind that requires no humaninvolvement -is rare in every sector of the economy, and there’s little reason to thinkdriving will be any different. There is a permanent need for a human backup incaseiving, that means human drivers will still bear the finalresponsibility for the cars they're riding in.
A related challenge-particularly for driverless cars-is the complexity of the systemsinvolved. For example, some cars today require over 100 million lines of software code (代码) to keep them running More code means more functions, which, to some degree, alsomeans more opportunities for software errors. Driverless cars raise a challenge in this regard and possibly cause more opportunities for errors- errors that can lead to accidents.
Yet the greatest challenge facing driverless cars isn't technological, but psychological. Surveys consistently reveal global skepticism about the technology. Americans, for
example,remain more worried than excited by driverless cars. Over half of the American public says itwould not ride one given the opportunity. This shows a deep-seated lack of trust in thetechnology. Similar ideas have been expressed worldwide.
What's more likely is that human drivers will continue applying some control over theircars,
regardless of how automated those cars are. Some may quarrel with this idea. Butautomakers have long been preparing for it. Just ask Nissan, Waymo, and Zoo, all of whichare exploring ways for human drivers to retake control of a car should automation fail. Inother words, driverless does not-and will not-mean humanless.

参考答案：
Contrary to people's vision of a better city life, self-driving cars are on the road tonowhere. First, like auto-machines in other fields, driverless cars are literally not completelyindependent of humans. Besides, demanding complicated technology, such cars can be athreat if a possible error occurs. Trust issues for humanless cars, however, remains a majorconcern. That's why automakers are seeking waysto allow drivers more control on theirvehicles. (71 words) 【分析】

We’ve all seen them: perfectly toned famous people on late-night television telling us that we too can develop rock-hard abdominal muscles（腹肌）. It’s easy! Just pay $149.99 for the Torso Track or $149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist. Americans spend tens of millions of dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist. And did they work? Not necessarily. Independent studies have concluded that most of these products ---- no
matter who approved them or how expensive they are ---- shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches（仰卧起坐）. Some can even cause injury ---- like the $518.99 Body Shaper-Q8SP, which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Others, like the popular Ab-Doer, typically burn less energy than a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in September by the American Council on Exercise.
The fact is that many Americans don’t have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal muscles. They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they can’t lose enough fat to make a difference. Even if the underlying muscles are well developed, all it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of an inch of fat. That’s enough to exclude most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches every day.
So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular Ab-Doer. A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10 minutes a day performing such movements as “Body Boogies” and “Good Mornings” will “help form those muscles the fun and easy way without diets.” Steven Loy, professor at California State University, Northridge, tested the promise by measuring the electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements. He and his colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises. They determined that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer.
Taking a broader approach, researchers at San Diego State University compared 13 abdominal exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles. They concluded, in a report published in May, that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time. Among the winners: the bicycle movements ---- so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike while lying flat on the floor ---- and exercises performed on the “Captain’s Chair”, a product typically found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest. Researchers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results.

A．Torso Track. B．Ab-Doer. C．Captain’s Chair. D．Body Shaper-Q8SP.

D．how big their muscles will be is determined by birth 70．The author convinces the readers by .
A．describing successful cases B．offering professional suggestions
C．presenting findings of researches D．comparing advertisements of products
71．What’s the main purpose of this passage?
A．To research and develop in order to create the perfect stomach and exercise machine.
B．To promote proven exercise techniques and to advise against false advertisements.
C．To indicate that diet and exercises are necessary factors for a fit midsection.
