2019年春八年级下英语（人教版）单元考试测试卷：Unit 7 What’s the highest mountain in the world（无答案） The kangaroo(袋鼠) from Australia was a new star in the zoo. It was famous for jumping very high. Because it could jump over the wall and run away easily, the zoo keeper put it in a place with 3-metre-high walls around.

But the next morning people found the kangaroo was playing outside. The zoo keeper thought it needed higher walls, so he made the walls 3. 5 metres high. But the kangaroo got out again the following day. The zoo keeper felt surprised. He read some books about animals and knew that a kangaroo could jump as high as 4 metres. So he made the walls 4. 5 metres high. But the next morning, the kangaroo was playing outside again!

The zoo keeper felt angry(生气的), and he made the walls as high as 5 metres. ＂How high will he build the walls?＂ a giraffe asked the kangaroo.

＂I don’t know, ＂ said the kangaroo. ＂Maybe they’ll be 300 metres. It all depends on(取决于) whether(是否) he remembers to close the gate. ＂

Google and Toyota（丰田）have worked together to create a new smart car. It can run on the road without a driver.

D. Careless.

It drives itself.

The self-driving（自驾的）car hasn’t been on sale to the public, so we don’t know how much it costs. Another

thing that most people want to know is whether it will be safe enough to run on the road.

The self-driving car uses electricity as its power, and it can’t drive very quickly—the top speed would be 25 miles

per hour. It is actually controlled by a computer system in the car. The system keeps on collecting information by some video cameras inside the car. A computer receives the information and decides what to do.

“The self-driving car has only buttons (按钮) for go and stop, so it’s very easy to use.” an engineer of Google says,

“It will make car accidents less and the world safer.” The self-driving car has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles in California, and it has only gotten into two accidents by human mistake.
