第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
I started my journey at the Cadillac House, drove out of the city and got on the 1-95 toward Washington, D．C．. It’s about a four-hour drive.
As soon as I jumped on the highway, I sped up to about 70 miles per hour and entered standard cruise control. A small indicator on the instrument panel(仪表盘) showed the car was ready to engage self-driving mode. I pushed a button on the steering wheel to begin, initiating Super Cruise mode.
A green light bar at the top of my steering wheel showed that Super Cruise was on. There were no shake, no sudden speed changes or anything like that. The car remained perfectly steady. It uses a combination of cameras, radar sensors, and GPS to find the center of the lane. The car found it like a train on a track.
I had to admit that I was little worried about letting the car take over at first. I kept my hands near the wheel and my eyes locked on the road. After about ten minutes, I finally started to trust the car’s judgment. It soon became clear that it could easily drive itself in light traffic, braking when necessary and keeping a steady speed.
Then we hit a bottleneck. There was a standstill traffic outside of Baltimore, and things could have easily gone wrong, but this is where Super Cruise really shined. The vehicle came to a complete stop to avoid crashing into traffic, then sped up when cars started moving again. It was impressive as well, and something that sets the 2018 Cadillac CT6 apart from all competitors.
I eventually turned off the highway and headed into Washington D．C．. To turn Super Cruise of, I simply hit the button on the steering wheel again. The green light at the top of the wheel turned off, and I took control of the car.
The CT6 had no problem bringing me from New York to Washington, D．C, in Super Cruise mode practically all by itself. It makes me hopeful for a future where I’ll never need to touch a steering wheel again.
1、652．What is the text mainly about?
A．A report comparing different cars’ performance.
B．A description of an adventurous journey.
C．An advertisement of a new type of car.
D．An account of a self-driving experience.
2、654．The underlined word “initiating” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by ________.
A．taking in B．turning on
C．making out D．coming off
3、656．What did the writer think of the self-driving mode at the beginning of the journey?
A．Doubtful. B．Exciting.
C．Boring. D．Reliable.
4、658．What is the competitive advantage of the writer’s car compared to similar ones?
A．There is no need to touch the steering wheel all the way.
B．The built-in facilities help the car remain steady.
C．The car can adjust its speed according to traffic conditions.
D．The operation of the Super Cruise mode is quite simple.
