Section A

News report one

One of Google's self-driving cars crashed into a bus in California last month. There were no injuries. It was not the first time one of the Google's famed self-driving cars have been involved in crash, but it may be the first time it has caused one. On Feb. 14th，the self-driving car, traveling at 2 miles per hour, pulled out in front of a public bus going 15 miles per hour.【1】The man in the Google vehicle reported that he assumed the bus would slow down to let the car out, and so he did not switch to the manual mode. In the statement, Google said, we clearly bear some responsibility because if our car hadn't moved, there wouldn't have been the crash. That said our taxi driver believed the bus was going to slow or stop to allow us to merge into the traffic and there would be sufficient space to do that.【2】The company's self-driving cars have done well over a million miles across various states in the U. S. and until now have only reported minor accidents.

1. According to Google, what was the cause of the accident?

2. How have Google's self-driving cars performed so far?

1. B.The test driver made a wrong judgement
2. D.They have generally done quite well

【翻譯】

上個(gè)月，在加利福利亞州，谷歌公司的一輛無人駕駛汽車撞到了一輛巴士。沒有人員受傷。

谷歌公司名聲在外的無人駕駛汽車并不是第一次卷入撞車事故中，

但是這是第一次由它引起的撞車事故。

2月14日，這輛以每小時(shí)2英里（每小時(shí)3公里）的速度行駛的無人駕駛汽車，從一輛以每小時(shí)15英里（每小時(shí)24公里）的速度行駛的巴士前駛出。

坐在谷歌公司汽車?yán)锏娜藞?bào)告說，他以為那輛巴士會(huì)減速讓汽車駛出，

所以他沒有切換到手動(dòng)模式。

在一份聲明中，谷歌公司說：“我們很顯然要承擔(dān)一些責(zé)任，

因?yàn)槿绻覀兊能嚊]有移動(dòng)，那么就不會(huì)出現(xiàn)撞車事故?！?/p>

它說，“我們的測試司機(jī)認(rèn)為那輛巴士會(huì)減速或停下來讓我們匯入車流，

并且有足夠的空間做到那一點(diǎn)?！?/p>

該公司的無人駕駛汽車在美國已經(jīng)成功地行駛了超過100萬英里，穿過了許多州，

直到現(xiàn)在為止只報(bào)告了一些小事故。

請根據(jù)你剛剛聽到的新聞報(bào)道回答問題1和問題2。

問題1.根據(jù)谷歌公司的說法，這起事故的起因是什么？

問題2.谷歌公司的無人駕駛汽車到目前為止表現(xiàn)如何？
