She had neverdriven the route before.It was dark and raining heavily.Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made nomention of the crossing."I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of aspeeding train," she told the BBC.&&&&Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely's story in his bookWhenMachinesFailUs,points the finger at the limitations of technology.We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digitalhelpers are too often not up to the job.They are filled with small problems.And it's not just GPS devices:Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wirelesskeyboards.&&&&&The problem with his argument in the book is that it's not clear why he only focuses on digitaltechnology, while there may be a number of other possible causes.A mapmaker might have left thecrossing off a paper map.Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention.Perhaps the railwayauthorities are at fault for poor signalling system.Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers andworked out that there really is something specific&&wrong with&&the&&GPS&&equipment.But&&Stevensondoesn't say.&&&&It's a problem that runs through the book.In a section on cars, Stevenson gives an account of theadvanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computerbased locking systems for cars.He offers twoindependent sets of
both show a small rise in some parts of the country.He says thatonce again not all new locks have proved reliable.Perhaps, but maybe it's also due to the shortage ofpolicemen on the streets.Or changing social circumstances.Or some combination of these factors.&&&&The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex.It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in.Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way fora wiser use of technology.&&&&&&If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of ourmachines.After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years.They have probably been fooling usfor just as long.1. What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?A. She was not familiar with the road.B. It was dark and raining heavily then.C. The railway workers failed to give the signal.D. Her GPS device didn't tell her about the crossing.2. The phrase"near miss" (Paragraph 2 ) can best be replaced by ________.A. close hit&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&B. heavy lossC. narrow escape&&&&&&&&&&&&D. big mistake3. Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?A. Modern technology is what we can't live without.B. Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.D. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely's accident.4. In the writer's opinion, Stevenson's argument is ________.A. onesided&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&B. reasonableC. puzzling&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&D. wellbased4完形填空&&&&When high school started, Becky and I became best friends.We __1__ many interests and quicklybecame inseparable.When high school ended, we both cried __2__ we would attend different collegesin the fall.&&&&Our first term of university life was __3__.We had a telephone bill and our emails were incredibly long.In the second term I found some new friends with whom I felt very __4__.These were friends with whomI could be myself and __5__ out my feelings.I was eager to share my new friends with Becky.&&&&When Becky finally visited me at my school, we were excited.She __6__ a toy bear to me as apresent and told me about her college life.However, something unexpected happened when I __7__ herto my new friends.Her eyes grew dark and I could see the __8__ within them.My new friends tried toshare their friendship, but Becky seemed __9__ to accept it.I didn't understand __10__ the people Iloved most couldn't love each other.&&&&Becky __11__.I knew she was not happy.I thought long about what had happened.After manyunanswered questions, I understood that she was __12__.She saw me with my new friends and __13__that we no longer shared the same experiences.She saw all the fun I was having __14__ her and wishedshe could be a part of it.She wished she could be in their position.&&&&I wrote a letter to Becky __15__ she's always my best friend.I told her everyone had friends fromhome and friends from school, and all the friends were indeed life's greatest __16__.Becky wrote meback soon.She was in __17__ and felt sorry about what she had done.&&&&I think Becky and I both learn an important lesson from it.__18__ can influence our friendship andchange the experiences we've shared.We are now walking on two different paths of __19__.While newfriends are special and exciting, old friends are always there, __20__ to share their heart and soul, nomatter how far apart.(&&&&)1.

The editor must never forget that the success
of any newspaper depends on advertising. He is usually anxious to keep the good
will of local businessmen for this reason. But if the newspaper is well written
and the news items have been carefully chosen to attract local readers, the
businessmen are thankful for the opportunity to keep their products in the
public eye.
Local newspapers do not often comment on
problems of national importance and editors rarely take sides on political
questions. But they can often be of service to the community in expressing
public feeling on local issues. A newspaper can sometimes persuade the council
to take action to provide better shopping facilities, improve transport in the
area and preserve local monuments and places of interest.
These papers often sound rather dull and it
seems surprising that they all make a profit, but for many people in small
towns and villages the death of someone known to them or the fix of traffic
lights at a busy corner nearby can sometimes be more important than a disaster
in a foreign country.
1. What should the editor remember according to the first paragraph?
&& A. Money.            &&
B. Newspaper.
C. People.            &
&D. Advertising.
2. What is the local newspapers' attitude on national political
questions?
&& A. They seldom have
their own ideas.
&& B. They often
express their ideas.
&& C. They are against
&& D. They are for
another side.
3. Do businessmen like the local newspapers?
&& A. No, they are for
&& B. Yes, from the
advertising on the newspapers they can sell well.
&& C. Yes, they can
write for the newspaper.
&& D. No, they can't
get much money from the newspaper.
4. A local newspaper can persuade the council ________.
& A. to provide better
shopping facilities
& B. to preserve local
& C. to improve transport
in the area
& D. all above

III.阅读理解The blue tits(山雀) have been inspecting the nest-box again this year. The male is the house-hunter but the female will make the final choice. He lands at the hole and turns his head to expose his white cheeks as a signal to attract the female from where she has been feeding. Among many birds that nest in holes, the male has a light-coloured patch on its plumage(鸟羽) which acts as signal for drawing the female’s attention to a suitable nesting-place. Unlike the blue tit, the redstart(红尾鸲) may be only the male that strikingly coloured and the female is not beautiful. A few years ago I was lucky enough to spot a pair of redstarts in action in a Walsh wood. The male was leading an interested female to holes that he had previously(先前) checked out. He sat at the entrance of each hole and put his head on to show off his white forehead, or his head in to reveal(显露) his tail. If the female failed to react to his visual signals, the male sometimes sang for extra effect, while gliding towards her on spread wings and tail. Once the female accepts by following the male through the hole the displays stop, you must be at the right place at the right time to watch them. 36. How do the blue tits choose their nest?A. They choose their nest together.&&&&&B. The male chooses their nest. C. The house-hunter chooses their nest. D. The female chooses their nest. 37. The writer was lucky to see ________. A. how the male made his tricksB. how an interested female played with the male happilyC. what the male displayed and won the femaleD. that the male tried his best but failed to attract the female38. You can spot a pair of redstarts in a Walsh wood ________. A. at any time&&&&&&& B. regularly&&& C. in April&&& D. occasionally39. The writer is probably ________.
