18、e these tools by hitting one stone against another.In this way, they broke off pieces from one of the stones.These chips of stone were usually sharp on one side.People used them for cutting meat and skin from dead animals, and also for making other tools out of wood.Human beings needed to use tools

37、车已经经历了检测，未来很快就将投入使用。12The passage informs us that selfdriving cars .Awill probably decrease traffic jamsBhave already passed necessary testsChave been purchased by some companiesDwill be able to communicate with driversA推理判断题。根据文章最后一段前两句“Google says the cars are safe.The vehicles have sensors that c
38、an detect objects out to a distance of more than two football fields in all directions, which is especially helpful on busy streets with lots of intersections，”可知Google说这些汽车很安全，可以从很远的距离就感应到物体的存在，这对于交通安全很有帮助。再根据第四段第一句“In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roadsthe majority of auto accidents
39、are caused by human errorand fewer traffic jams.”可知Urmson认为大部分的事故都是人为导致的，而自动驾驶的汽车事故很少会更加安全。故A正确。13According to Chris Urmson, .Asoftware and sensors are vital for selfdriving carsBselfdriving cars can give driving orders to humansCselfdriving cars are specially designed for the elderlyDordinary vehic
40、les will be replaced by selfdriving carsA细节理解题。根据第三段前两句“The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator(油门)or brake pedal.Our software and sensors do all the work， Urmson said.”可知自动驾驶的汽车中的软件和感应器可以完成很多工作，这说明这种软件和感应器非常重要。故A正确。14The underlined word “intersection” in the last paragra
