【答案】1.B2.A3.C4.C

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。

文章讲述了希腊学生KleonPapadimitriou被困在他所就读的苏格兰，由于航班被关闭，他无法返回雅典，所以他决定骑自行车回家。

1.细节理解题。

根据第二段中的“Heoncecompetedinaracein2019andwasbrieflytrainedforseveralweeks—butthatwasaboutallthebikingexperiencehecarriedwithhim.（他曾在2019年参加过一场比赛，并短暂地接受了几周的训练——但这就是他身上所有的骑行经验）”可知，KleonPapadimitriou以前有一些骑自行车的经验。

故选B。

2.细节理解题。

根据第三段中的“Initially,hethoughttheideawasmoreofa“dream”—anabsolutelyhardlongjourney.（起初，他认为这个想法更多的是一个“梦想”——一个绝对艰苦的长途旅行）”可知，KleonPapadimitriou一开始认为他的想法是一个梦想是因为完成这段旅程似乎很有挑战性。

故选A。

3.细节理解题。

根据第四段“Papadimirioutravelledanywherebetween35and75milesperday,crossinginitiallythroughEnglandandthenontotheNetherlands.HebikedalongtheRhineinGermanyforseveraldays,passedthroughAustriaandcycleddownalongtheeasterncoastofItalybeforehetookaboattotheGreekportofPatras.（Papadimiriou每天旅行35到75英里，最初穿过英国，然后到达荷兰。

他沿着德国的莱茵河骑了几天，穿过奥地利，沿着意大利的东海岸骑了几天，然后坐船到了希腊的佩特拉港）”可知，KleonPapadimiriou应该是从英国出发，途径荷兰、德国、奥地利、意大利及希腊，共计6个国家。

故选C。

4.推理判断题。

根据倒数两段内容，尤其是最后一段中的“AndIdidlearnalotofthingsaboutmyself,aboutmylimits,mystrengthsandmyweaknesses.Ireallyhopethatthetripcaninspireatleastonemorepersontogooutoftheircomfortzoneandtrysomethingnew,somethingbig.（我确实对自己有了很多了解，了解了自己的局限、优点和缺点。

我真的希望这次旅行能激励至少更多的人走出他们的舒适区，去尝试一些新的、大的东西）”可推知，Papadimiriou从这次旅行中学到了很多关于自然本性的事情。

故选C。

【答案】5.D6.A7.B8.D

【解析】本文是一篇说明文。

文章主要介绍自动驾驶技术的发展及应用，同时指出离完全自动驾驶还很遥远。

5.细节理解题。

根据文章第一段“Thisyear,newtechnologieswillenablemoredriverstotaketheirhandsoffthesteeringwheel（方向盘）whileontheroad.Butthatdoesn’tmeantheircarswillbefullyself-driving---thatdaystillremainsfarinthefuture.”今年，新技术将使更多的司机在路上把手从方向盘上拿开。

但这并不意味着他们的汽车将完全自动驾驶——这一天还很遥远。

由此可知，现在的自动驾驶车辆让司机解放双手，把手从方向盘上拿下来，故选D。

6.主旨大意题。

根据文章第六段“GM’sSuperCruisesystemallowsdriverstocompletelyletgoofthesteeringwheelwhiledrivingonselectedhighways.”通用汽车的超级巡航系统允许司机在选定的高速公路上驾驶时完全放开方向盘。

由此可知本段主要介绍通用汽车的超级巡航系统，故选A。

7.推理判断题。

根据文章第二段“AutomakerslikeGeneralMotors（GM）,FordandStellantisareintroducing,orupgradingexistingtechnologies.ButinthewordsofKayStepper,anautomateddrivingexpert,thesesystemsare"feetoff’and"handsoff’,buttheywillnotbe"eyesoff"or“mindoff’.”通用汽车、福特和斯泰兰蒂斯等汽车制造商正在引进或升级现有技术。

但用自动驾驶专家KayStepper的话来说，这些系统“脚离得远”、“手离得远”，但它们不会“眼离得远”或“心离得远”，这说明现在的无人驾驶技术还没有完全成熟，由此可推断，还是需要人们注意安全，故选B。

8.主旨大意题。

根据文章第一段“Thisyear,newtechnologieswillenablemoredriverstotaketheirhandsoffthesteeringwheel（方向盘）whileontheroad.Butthatdoesn’tmeantheircarswillbefullyself-driving---thatdaystillremainsfarinthefuture.”今年，新技术将使更多的司机在路上把手从方向盘上拿开。

但这并不意味着他们的汽车将完全自动驾驶——这一天还很遥远。

这是文章的主题段，再根据下文的介绍可知文章的中心就是自动驾驶技术的发展及应用，同时指出离完全自动驾驶还很遥远。

D选项符合文章主题，适合作标题，故选D。
