(2025.鄂东南省级示范高中教育教学改革联盟学校期中联考)In 2024， a self−driving taxi developed by
Baidu hit a pedestrian in Wuhan, 36 sparked heated discussions on autonomous driving technology.
Baidu 37 (invest)heavily in developing self | driving technology up to now,with robot axis currently
38 (operate)in designated areas of Beijing,Chongqing,Wuhan and Shenzhen.Baidu has more than 500
robot axis in Wuhan and expects 39 (expand)the size of its fleet and the operation area nationwide.
The rising prominence of robot axis has drawn 4 o (complain)from taxi drivers as they fear that their
jobs might be replaced by driverless ride−hailing cars, 41 (give)that the fees for robot axis are typically
cheaper than 42 (that)of traditional taxis.
An expert said,“ Currently,driverless cars will not pose 43 challenge to the traditional taxi sector
because people are only inclined to experience this emerging technology,and the number of robot axis is still
far smaller.” He noted the pressure on taxi drivers ㊹ (main)comes from intense competition between
private ride−hailing cars and taxis,adding that the autonomous driving vehicles will not have a serious impact
on the job market and replace human drivers ㊺ the short term.

答案： [语篇解读]这是一篇新闻报道。百度开发的自动驾驶出租车在武汉撞上行人，引发了关于自动驾驶技术的热烈讨论。
36.which 考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面的句子，空处代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，需用关系代词which。
37.has invested 考查时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语up to now可知，此处需用现在完成时，主语Baidu为第三人称单数，助动词需用has。
38.operating 考查非谓语动词。with为介词，后接复合宾语，宾语robotaxis和动词operate为主动关系，需填operate的现在分词形式作宾语补足语。故填operating。
39.to expand 考查非谓语动词。expect to do sth.意为期待做某事。
40.complaints 考查名词和名词的数。空处需填名词作宾语，complain的名词形式为complaint，且其为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且空前无限定词，需用complaint的复数形式complaints。
41.given 考查固定搭配。given that意为鉴于，考虑到。
42.those 考查代词。根据句意和空前than可知，空处需用代词those代替前文提到的复数名词fees。
43.a 考查冠词。challenge为可数名词，此处表示泛指，且challenge的发音以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词a修饰。
44.mainly 考查副词。修饰动词短语comes from，需用副词mainly作状语。
45.in 考查介词。in the short term意为在短期内。
