34、being common on American roads，much of the rhetoric（浮夸之词）promoting them has to do with safety. About 40，000 people die on US roads every year，and driver errors are linked to more than 20 percent of crashes. But many of the biggest supporters of autonomous（自动的）vehicles arent car companies looking to

35、improve the safety of their existing products. Huge support for self-driving technologies is coming from Silicon Valley great companies like Google and Apple. Those of us who have studied the relationship between technology and society tend to look more carefully at the reasons behind any technologi

36、cal push. In this case，its clear that in addition to solving safety concerns，Silicon Valley firms have a strong incentive（动机）to create a new place for increasing the use of their digital devices. Every minute people spend on their mobile phones provides dataand often moneyto tech companies.At presen

37、t，digital devices and driving are in conflict:There are serious，often fatal consequences when drivers use smartphones to talk or to text. Regulators（管理者）and safety supporters look to solve dial conflict by banning phone use while driving，as has happened in almost every state. But the tech companies

38、are taking a different approach. The obvious answer for Silicon Valley is to create an automobile in which continuous cellphone use no longer causes a threat to anyone. In recent years, the amount of time adults spend on their mobile devices has grown rapidly. At the moment, its around four hours a

39、day for the average adult in the US. However, that rapid growth is likely to slow down as people run out of time thats available for them up to use their devices, unless, of course, theres a new block of time that suddenly opens up. The average American now spends about 41 minutes in a car every day

40、,a sizeable opportunity for increased cellphone use.So as the public conversation around autonomous cars pays attention to the safety advantages, dont forget the tech industrys powerful desire for more profits, which goes well beyond simply saving us from ourselves.1、Who are responsible for most tra

41、ffic accidents in America?ACar companies.BDrivers.CTech companies.DSelf-driving cars.2、What pushes Silicon Valley to promote self-driving technologies?ATo make more money.BTo reduce traffic accidents.CTo limit the use of digital devices.DTo support car companies.3、What does the underlined phrase“a n

42、ew block of time”possibly refer to？AThe working time.BPeoples spare time.CThe time spent in the car.DThe time spent on mobile devices.4、What can we know from the passage？AWe should teach people to strictly obey traffic rules.BThe writer calls on us to look at autonomous cars wisely.CCar companies ar

The online retail giant revealed a new kind of physical store concept in a video published on Monday.The stor

44、e, called Amazon Go, doesnt work like a typical Walmart or supermarket. Instead, its designed so that shoppers will use an app, also called Amazon Go, to automatically add the products that they plan to buy to a digital shopping cart by scanning a QR code(二维码). They can then walk out of the building

46、pping. Amazon began experimenting with physical bookstores a year ago, but Amazon Go may mark its boldest bet on physical ones yet. By removing much of the staff needed to operate a store, Amazon keeps costs lower than traditional competitors. Its also in a strong position to bring together data on

47、its customers shopping habits online and offline to make better suggestions in all situations.However, Amazons move deeper into physical retail shops comes in a sensitive political climate. The company could be perceived as being a threat to some of the 3.4 million Americans who work as cashiers, ac

48、cording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. On the campaign trail, Donald Trump repeatedly criticized Amazon and its founder Jeff Bezos for “getting away with murder tax-wise” and having “a huge antitrust(反垄断) problem.” Will the President& shy; elect add “job killer” to the list of criticisms?Amazons

49、 effort to launch a new kind of retail store predates(在之前) the rise of Donald Trump. “Four years ago we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no lines and no checkout? Could we push the boundaries of computer vision and machine learning to create a store where customers

50、 could simply take what they want and go?” The company says on an informational page about Amazon Go. For now, Amazon is starting slow.
