Over the past few years, cars have become smarter and smarter. Some of them can even drive themselves. Now, our roads have followed suit (跟着做) . In the United Kingdom alone, there are around 650 kilometers of “smart roads” in use. Across the world, many more are being built. Some new technologies are being put to use.

Roads that recharge (充电)

Global warming has made us search for new energy sources. Why not look to the roads? With the right technologies, cars around the world could be producing energy as they go. Piezoelectricity ads mix traditional asphalt (柏油) with new material. They use vibrations (振动) from passing cars to produce electricity. In fact, piezoelectricity is nothing new. It was invented in 1880. However, it has never been widely used before now. The UK’s Lancaster University is going to change that. It has been improving the technology, including developing roadside batteries that can store the electricity.

Roads that never freeze

________ A tech company in Israel has developed the Snowless roads. When they detect snow or ice on their surfaces, the roads will heat themselves up, melting the snow or ice away. The project has been successfully tested on a few Canadian roads and in some of its car parks.

Built-in brain

Roads of the future may be able to know how many people are on them. They could send them updates (实时信息) on weather and traffic jams, and recharge electric cars as they drive. This seems to be a dream, but one American company has almost made it come true. By sensing the weight of a vehicle, the company’s smart roads can track (跟踪) the speed of each wheel. “We are basically making very large touchpads,” says Tim Sylvester, CEO of the company. “but instead of looking for fingers, our roads look for tires.” After having collected traffic data, the roads will send it to the drivers.

2 Which of the following sentences can be put in the “________”?

Traffic lights are red, yellow and green. They are very important signals (信号). Traffic lights are usually placed at busy street corners to help control traffic Sometimes, they are on streets near schools and shops, too. Most young children are taught what each of the colored lights means, so everybody can stay safe.

The first traffic signals were used for trains. The signals were put alongside railway tracks  ( (轨道). The color red was used to mean "stop" because it warned people of danger. A red light was also the easiest color to see from a distance. Train drivers could see the red "stop" light ahead and had enough time to slow down and stop their trains. A green light was used to mean "take care" and a white light meant "go".

However, there were many dangerous accidents on the train tracks. Some train drivers thought a star shining in the night sky was a white light that meant "go"". So the signals were swapped. The "go" light was changed to green and the "take care" light was changed to white.

During these times, people travelled by train or in carts pulled by horses. Years later, when cars were built, people began to drive them because they could travel much faster than horses. However, the road rules for drivers were not very clear and many people were hurt crossing the roads. Yellow warning signs had to be placed beside the roads to remind drivers to take care and allow people to cross safely.

Today, towns and cities all over the world have traffic lights. Red and green lights match the signals used on the railways. Yellow lights are easy to see, so they are used to warn drivers that they should slow down and prepare to stop.

19. Why was the color red used to mean "stop"?

A. It reminded people of traffic rules.

B. It helped trains run smoothly.

C. It gave people a warning of danger.

D. It was the first color people thought of.

20. What does the underlined word "swapped" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Designed.               B. Exchanged.              C. Suggested.               D. Compared.

21. In which order did the "take care" light develop?

a. A white light             b. A green light.                  c. A yellow light.

C. acb        B. bca               A. abc               D. bac

22. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The advantages of traffic lights.             B. The history of traffic lights.
