The United States officials are close to approving new requirements for enabling vehicles to communicate with each other.Officials hope the new technology will reduce the number of traffic accidents.Automobile manufactures may be required to equip all new cars with what are being called ‘vehicle-to-vehicle’ communication devices within the next 3 years.
Vehicle-to-vehicle,or V2V,is a communication technology.It enables vehicles to share information about their speed and movement at a rate of 10 times a second.Cars will be able to identify possible dangers within about 300 meters.The cars will then warn their drivers or even take action to avoid an accident.
The drivers will be able to see,hear and even feel the warning signals through shaking of the seat.The U.S.National Highway Traffic Safety Administration expects the new system to reduce the number of car accidents by as much as 80 percent.
Greg Winfree is with the US Department of Transportation.He says the new technology will change the way people deal with traffic accidents.“The way to look at it is the first 50 years of transportation safety were focused on surviving crashes.We see the future as technology that avoids crashes overall,” said Winfree.
Critics admit that V2V technology is a major development,but they are concerned about possible conflicts with other wireless devices.They say those devices already operate in the wireless frequencies planned for V2V technology.
Scott Belcher says people may also be concerned about their privacy.He worries about the possibility of using V2V technology to follow individual drivers and document their driving habits.Government agencies and private industry have already invested almost $1 billion in research.
U.S.officials expect the new technology will be required in American vehicles by early 2024.They believe it is the first step toward a better and safer transportation system.
1.How does the V2V communication technology work?
a.Cars share each other’s moving information.
b.V2V service is fitted to cars.
c.Cars recognize possible dangers and send them to their drivers.
d.Drivers receive warning signals and avoid danger.
A.b-c-d-a B.a-c-d-b
C.b-a-c-d D.a-b-c-d
2.According to Greg Winfree,the new technology will.
A.cause both fewer deaths per accident and more accidents
B.avoid car accidents totally in the future
C.focus on as much as 80% of the surviving crashes
D.help people step away from the vehicle
3.Which of the following will be unlikely to happen?
A.The technology is likely to conflict with other wireless devices.
B.Individual drivers will be monitored by others.
C.Individual driving habits may be traced and recorded.
D.US officials will say no to the new technology.
4.What’s the aim of the passage?

C.To compare traffic communication technologies in America.
D.To discuss the advantages of the V2V technology.
【文章大意】本文是科普资讯报道,主要介绍了在未来三年内将要使用的一种旨在减少交通事故的汽车通信技术。
1.C 推理判断题。综合前三段内容可知,首先要在新车上装备“车对车通信设备”,该设备可使车辆分享其行驶的信息,汽车能够分辨可能发生的危险并警告司机,司机接收到预警信号并避免险情。因此,选择C项。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“We see the future as technology that avoids crashes overall”可知,在应对交通事故的方式上,前50年的交通运输安全是聚焦于在车祸中幸存,而未来则是通过科技完全避免车祸。所以B项正确。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The United States officials are close to approving new requirements for enabling vehicles to communicate with each other.”和最后一段可知,美国官员即将批准这种汽车通信技术,而且被要求在2024年初前装备到美国汽车上,可见D项与文意相悖。
4.D 目的意图题。本文主要报道了在未来三年内将要使用的一种旨在减少交通事故的汽车通信技术,故选D项。
