The software that is used to direct the cars may not be safe enough. 【4】When we use our computers or smart phones, they sometimes crash (崩溃) without any reason. But if this happened to a self-driving car, the results could be deadly. Improvements to the software could be a solution to this problem.

这篇短文给我们介绍的是自动驾驶汽车，这种汽车里安装有软件，可以指导汽车的运行。与普通汽车相比，它有很多的好处，如更加安全、环保、让残疾人可以更加轻松地四处活动等。但同时它也有它的不足之处。

【1】根据下句话Last month，Baidu began to test its self-driving cars on open roads in Beijing.可知，上个月百度开始在北京的开放道路上测试其自动驾驶汽车。由此可知，前一句话提到的you see a car going down the road without a driver in Beijing指的就是百度的自动驾驶汽车，故应选D。

【2】根据前后文Self-driving cars are safer than regular cars.和They can remove the stress of driving and allow disabled or blind people to get around more easily.可知这一段主要介绍无人驾驶车比常规的车子更好。结合语境，故选C。

【3】根据后文The car mistakenly thought that the laser beam was in its way and slowed down or changed the direction. The software that is used to direct the cars may not be safe enough.可知这一段主要介绍无人驾驶车的缺点，故选B。

【4】根据上句话The software that is used to direct the cars may not be safe enough.可知，这里说的是”用于引导汽车的软件可能不够安全”；下文提到When we use our computers or smartphones，they sometimes crash（崩溃）without any reason.But if this happened to a self-driving car，the results could be deadly.，我们的手机或者电脑有时候会崩溃，这对于自动驾驶汽车来说是致命的，所以自动驾驶汽车也可能会出故障，故这里应选A。

选择句子补全短文，文章后有4个选择项，我们需要把他们放在短文中适当的位置。做题时，应先通读短文，了解文章大意；然后阅读所给的选项，弄清楚他们的意思，并根据文意，把他们放到原文中去。注意不用按照题目顺序做题，先解决简单的、明显的，最后处理难的，因为选项与空格是一对一的，所以当简单的题做出来的时候，难题的难度也会降低。例如第2小题，这个题目相对比较简单一些，空前的这句话对比了自动驾驶汽车和普通汽车，这句话是顺应上文而来的，继续对比两种汽车，说明自动驾驶汽车的优点，所以应选C，这句话与上句话的句式也是一样的。
