答案以及解析一、1.答案：from

解析：retirefrom...为固定词组,意为“从……退出”。2.答案：to

解析：owe...to...为固定词组,意为“将……归功于……”。3.答案：to4.答案：back5.答案：into二、答案：1.struck;intoourhearts2.ingoodcondition;3.fromtimetotime;4.broughtbacktolife5.invain三、答案：1-4ACBD解析：1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“Whilemuchofthedebatesofarhasbeenfocusedonthesafetyofdriverlesscars(andrightfullyso),policymakersalsoshouldbetalkingabouthowself-drivingvehiclescanhelpreducetrafficjams,cutemissionsandoffermoreconvenient,affordablemobilityoptions.(虽然到目前为止，大部分争论都集中在无人驾驶汽车的安全性上（这是理所当然的），但政策制定者也应该讨论自动驾驶汽车如何有助于减少交通拥堵、减少排放，并提供更方便、更经济的出行选择)”可知，作者认为，应该注意无人驾驶汽车如何帮助解决交通相关问题。故选A。2.细节理解题。根据第一段中“Buthoweverlongittakes,thetechnologyhasthepotentialtochangeourtransportationsystemsandourcities,forbetterorforworse,dependingonhowthetransformationisregulated.(但无论需要多长时间，这项技术都有可能改变我们的交通系统和城市，或好或坏，这取决于如何监管这种转变)”以及最后一段中“Policymakersshouldstartthinkingnowabouthowtomakesuretheappearanceofdriverlessvehiclesdoesn'textendtheworstaspectsofthecar-controlledtransportationsystemwehavetoday.(政策制定者现在应该开始思考，如何确保无人驾驶汽车的出现，不会延伸到我们今天拥有的汽车控制交通系统的最糟糕的方面)”可知，关于无人驾驶汽车，作者最担心的是管理问题。故选C。3.词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Feweremissionsandcheapertravelsoundprettyappealing.”以及后文“byride-hailingservices,consideringthecostofself-drivingtechnologyaswellasliabilityandmaintenanceissues”可知，无人驾驶汽车拥有排放少和交通便宜的优势，再加上考虑到自动驾驶技术的成本以及责任和维护问题，所以推测第一批商用无人驾驶汽车肯定会采用代驾服务。故划线词意思是“采用，雇佣”。A.Replaced.替代；B.Employed.采用，雇佣；C.Shared.分享；D.Reduced.减少。故选B。4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Thecomingtechnologicaladvancementpresentsachanceforcitiesandstatestodeveloptransportationsystemsdesignedtomovemorepeople,andmoreaffordably.Thecarofthefutureiscoming.Wejusthavetoplanforit.(即将到来的技术进步为城市和国家提供了发展交通系统的机会，这些交通系统的设计是为了让更多的人出行，而且更经济。未来的汽车就要来了。我们只需要做好准备)”可推知，对于无人驾驶车的未来，作者的态度还是比较积极的。故选D。四、答案：①or②ruining③wereplaced④with⑤where⑥amusement⑦videos⑧violently⑨wasdoing⑩newer解析：①考查连词。句意：技术恐惧症是指憎恨现代技术的人，可能是因为他们不理解现代技术，或者是因为他们害怕做错什么事情，损坏设备。becausetheydon’tunderstandit和becausetheyareafraidofdoingsomethingwrongand②_____(ruin)theequipment是选择关系，用表选择的并列连词or。故填or。②考查动名词。句意：技术恐惧症是指憎恨现代技术的人，可能是因为他们不理解现代技术，或者是因为他们害怕做错什么事情，损坏设备。该空和动名词短语doingsomet
