二. 组合题 （共20题,共40分）
1. No man is an island, but sometimes when you're traveling, it can feel like it. Mannerisms, timing and dress can set you apart from the local population, making it difficult to successfully immerse yourself in a new place. Yet with a bit of research and some strategic adjustments, you can easily find ways to blend in, rub shoulders with locals, and become a true piece of the continent you're exploring. Adjust your volume Americans tend to be loud talkers. Maybe it's all our wide-open spaces or our general exuberance; whatever the reason, our volume tends to distinguish us from the locals in many destinations. Turning it down a notch when you speak not only allows you to blend better but also limits the distance at which locals can identify that you're speaking a foreign language. Loud and proud but still yearning to blend in? Take heart—there are plenty of countries where loud talking is the norm. Find the right country and you can turn it up to 11 without drawing sidelong glances from locals. Read up on the customs Whatever you do, don't point with your index finger in the Philippines. Or give a thumbs-up in Greece. Or touch anyone on the head in Thailand. There's no faster way to call attention to yourself as a clueless foreigner than by stumbling into a cultural faux pas you could have easily avoided by reading up on local customs. Not only can a quick primer on body language, hand gestures and greetings keep you from unwittingly offending those around you, it's also a perfect window into your host culture. Go at the pace of your destination As a long-time fast walker who has spent time in some pretty relaxed destinations, I can attest that moving at a different speed than the population you're surrounded by can make you look not just out of place but downright crazy. As you get a feel for a new place, take time to notice the speed at which life is conducted. You may need to speed up or slow down, but the payoff is big. Because it's only when you're walking, talking and living at the speed of the culture that you can properly appreciate its unique rhythms. （10分） (1) Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED as the factor to distinguish travellers from locals? （2分）A.mannerism

2. Informed conversations about self-driving cars no longer are about feasibility. New key talking points are “When?” and “Which automakers first?” and “Who will be responsible when an accident happens?” Nissan has said it will sell a driverless car by 2020. IHS forecast several models available by 2025. Both of these are guesses—but they indicate how fast the technology is progressing. What seemed unimaginable a decade ago becomes more practical, comprehensible, and real by the day. Google's (GOOG) self-driving Toyota Prius (TM) has logged hundreds of thousands of miles without incident on California roads. Most automakers are testing self-driving cars on tracks and —lately, as I experienced earlier this week in Las Vegas — in traffic. The Audi A7 equipped with “traffic jam assist” was programmed to drive itself slowly in heavy traffic at no more than 40 miles per hour. (Dr. Bjorn Giesler, head of Audi's project team, was behind the wheel.) The car was loaded with cameras, sensors, and a special device that monitors a driver's eyes to ensure he or she doesn't fall asleep at the wheel. In that event, the car will safely slow down, stop, and call for help. Think of a driverless car as a robot. For Audi and other automakers, a key question is how much of the driving should be done by the robot, how much by the driver. The driver decides. Executives at Audi and other automakers say the driver, in any case, must remain engaged and attentive, ready to take over in the event of the unexpected: a car travelling the wrong way or out of control, for example. Audi executives won't use the word “driverless;” instead they speak about “piloted” driving. Other auto executives talk about “autonomous” or “assisted” driving. Only Google is adamant that it wants a driverless car, one th

at can help the elderly and the blind, as well as anyone who would rather be reading a book. （10分） (1) When it comes to self-driving car, which of the following is NOT the frequent topic? （2分）A.When it is put into use.
B.Which automakers will first produce self-driving car.
C.Whether it is feasible
D.Who will be responsible when an accident happens.
