One evening I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving, so I sent her to the store in my truck. At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said: “Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won’t last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won’t last.” After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted: “Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck.” My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say: “Here is a chance to show Holly what you really love. She’ll never forget it.” The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van （搬运车）. In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal. Holly was unhurt physically, but when I reached her, she was crying and saying: “Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you love this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried. Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes moistened （湿润） and she said: “That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad’s car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.” Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of that night. I remember how sad Holly was and how I comforted her. One day, when Holly thinks back on her life, I want her to know what really matters in my life. 1．How did the crash happen? A．The van was parked in the wrong place that evening. B．Holly stepped on the gas pedal instead of the brakes. C．The brakes of the truck didn’t work properly. D．Holly was too careless and young to drive a truck. 2．Why didn’t the writer punish Holly? A．He was so rich that he didn’t care about losing one truck. B．He thought there was no point punishing her after the accident. C．He believed the truck was made of metal and of poor quality. D．He wanted Holly to know he loved her more than anything. 3．What does the underlined sentence mean? A．She still suffered physical pain. B．She felt sorry of damaging the car. C．It left a deep wound on her heart. D．She was not forgiven by her Dad.
B Supermarkets are trying out new computers that make shopping carts more intelligent（具有智能的）．They will help shoppers find paper cups or toilet soap, and keep a record of the bill． The touch-screen devices （触摸屏装置） are on show at the Food Marketing Institute's exhibition here this week．"These devices are able to create value and get you around the store quicker, "said Michael Alexander, manager of Springboard Retail Networks Inc, which makes a smart cart computer called the Concierge． Canadian stores will test the Concierge in July．A similar device, IBM's "Shopping Buddy", has recently been test-marketed at Stop & Shop stores in Massachusetts． Neither device tells you how many fat grams or calories arc in your cart, but they will flash you with items on sale．The idea is to make it easier for people to buy, not to have second thoughts that maybe you should put something back on the shelf． “The whole model is driven by advertisers' need In get in front of shoppers, "said Alexander．"They're not watching 30-second TV ads anymore．" People can use a home computer to make their shopping lists．Once at the store, a shopper can use a preferred customer card to start a system（系统） that will organize the trip around the store．If you're looking for toothpicks, you type in the word or pick it from a list, and a map will appear on the screen showing where you are and where you can find them． The device also keeps a record of what you buy．When you're finished, the device figures

高一下学期英语期末考试模拟试卷一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）1. 阅读理解Just as John Lubbock said, we may sit in a library and yet be in all quarters of the earth. Here are some of the coolest libraries of the world.Stuttgart City LibraryDespite a classic white-on-white color, Stuttgart City Library is one of the most visually appealing modern libraries. The amazing modern and simple look is the product of the Korean architect Yi Eun-young. The German library opened in 2011, and cost nearly 80 million euros to construct.Kanazawa Umimirai LibraryArchitects from the Coelacanth K&H Architects studio designed the Kanazawa Umimirai Library lo create the best reading environment. Healed floors, an outpouring of natural light, and other features were specifically included lo achieve this goal. The wall, which consists of thousands of tiny openings, allows natural lighting into the building, improving the overall feel of the space. This Japanese library was opened in 2011, and reflects the appearance of many modern and simple spaces.Library of CongressIn 1800, Congress set up the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. Fifteen years later, Thomas Jefferson offered his personal library to replacebooks that were lost when the British set the building on fire in 1814. His books, which took nearly 50 years to collect, varied from texts on science, literature and philosophy, to books in a variety of foreign languages. These days, the Library of Congress offers more than 155 million items and the largest rare book collection in North America.State Library of VictoriaThe Slate Library of Victoria, located in Melbourne, Australia, is one of the largest exhibiting libraries in the world. Though it opened in 1856, major repairs took place between 1990 and 2004. The La Trobe Reading Room is one of the library’s main attractions due to its visually amazing architecture. The lawn at the library’s front attracts hundreds of city folk each day, who gather for lunch or to enjoy the statues there. The library currently contains over two million books, as well as armor of Ned Kelly, a folk hero against the ruling class.（1）Which library has the longest history?A . Stuttgart City Library.B . Kanazawa Umimirai Library.C . Library of Congress.D . State Library of Victoria.（2）What’s special about State Library of Victoria?A . It has great architecture.B . It has a folk her o’s statue in it.C . It is the world’s largest exhibiting library.D . It serves as a meeting place for the citizens.（3）What does the first two libraries have in common?A . They are constructed in the modern style.B . They cost a large amountof money.C . They are designed by Korean architects.D . They feature providing readers with natural light.2. 阅读理解Growing up, Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be. “I was a black girl, from a refugee family,” Deka said. “It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box”After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field, Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future. Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California, planning to become a professor.Born and raised in San Diego’s City Heights neighborhood, Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple. While some might say Deka’s success happened in spite of her background, she would say differently, that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven, young scientist that she is today. When Deka was eight years old, her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family. That made Deka realize that education could make a difference to one’s life. She spent a lot of time in the library reading books, and didn’t do many of the things her peers did, like partying or having romantic relationships.“I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family,” Deka said. “You have to do your best and do much better than everyone else. I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to mess up.”Deka’s efforts paid off. The summer before her senior year of high school, she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme. “She brought both enthusiasm and focus,” Botham, a researcher at this research institute, recalled. “She arrived every day ready to work, ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar.”When asked what advice she would give to others like her, Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves. “Don’t tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I’ll never get into this school,” she said. “I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in.”（1）From the passage, we can learn that ______.A . Deka was adopted by a refugee familyB . Deka became a professor after graduationC . Deka’s experiences drove her to work hardD . Deka spent a lot of time going to parties（2）Deka realized the importance of education ______.A . after her chemistry classB . from her mother’s experienceC . by reading books in the libraryD . through working at the institute （3）According to the last paragraph, Deka advised that students be ______.A . patientB . ambitiousC . confidentD . generous（4）What does the story intend to tell us?A . Life is not all roses.B . Practice makes perfect.C . Well begun is half done.D . Hard work leads to success.3. 阅读理解The worst outbreak ofdesert locusts in decades is presentlyunderway in the Horn of Africa. It is the biggest of its kind in 25 years forEthiopia and Somalia — and the worst Kenya has seen for 70 years.What we are seeing in East Africa today is unlike anything we’ve seen in a very long time. Itsdestructive potential is enorm ous, and it’s taking place in a region wherefarmers need every gram of food to feed themselves and their families. Most ofthe countries hardest hit are those where millions of people are alreadyvulnerable or in serioushumanitarian need, as they endure the impact of violence, drought, and floods.We have acted quickly torespond to this outbreak. The primary method of battling locusts is the aerialspraying of pesticides . FAO’s “LocustWatch” service explains that “although giantnets, flamethrowers, lasers, and huge vacuums have been proposed in the past,these are not in use for locust control. People and birds often eat locusts butusually not enough to significantly reduce population levels over large areas.”The UN’s Office for theCoordination of Humanitar ian Affairs has released $10 million from its CentralEmergency Relief Fund to fund a huge scale-up in aerial operations to managethe outbreak.But the window to containthis crisis is closing fast. We only have until the beginning of March to bringthis infestation under control as that is when the rain and planting seasonbegins. If left unchecked —and with expected additional rains — locust numbersin East Africa could increase 500 times byJune.We must act now to avoid afull-blown catastrophe. And we will. At the same time, we need to pay attentionto a bigger picture. This is not the first time the Greater Horn of Africa hasseen locust outbreak approach this scale, but the current situation is theworst in decades. This is linked to climate change. Warmer seas mean moretropical storms, generating the perfect breeding conditions for locusts.（1）What is implied in paragraph 2?A . People in East Africa are suffering drought.B . People in East Africa are going through floods.C . The locust outbreak will cause crop failure.D . The locust outbreak is worsening locals’ life.（2）What can we learn from the last paragraph?A . We need a bigger picture to study the disaster.B . It is the second outbreak of locusts in East Africa.C . It is the largest outbreak of locusts ever in history.D . The outbreak of locusts is fueled by global warming.（3）What is the purpose of the text?A . To analyse and compare.B . To inform and call for.C . To argue and discuss.D . To introduce and assess.（4）Where does the text probably come from?A . A guidebook.B . A health magazine.C . A news report.D . A chemistry paper.4. 阅读理解Scientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learningto predict when and where lightning will strike. Researchersreport the system is able to predict lightning strikes up to 30 minutes beforethey happen within a 30-kilometer area.Lightning is a strong burst of electricity in theatmosphere. Since it carries an extremely powerful electrical charge, it can bedestructive and deadly. European researchers have estimated that between 6,000and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year. For this reason,climate scientists have long sought todevelop methods to predict lightning.The system tested in the experiments uses a combination ofdata from weather stations and machine learning methods. The researchersdeveloped a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditionsthat were likely to cause lightning.The model was created with data collected over a 12-yearperiod from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas. The data,related to four main surface conditions: air pressure, air temperature,relative humidity and wind speed, was placed into a unique machine learningalgorithm , which compared it torecords of lightning strikes. Researchers say the algorithm was then able tolearn the conditions under which lightning happens.The researchers test-ran the system several times. Theyfound that the system made predictions that proved correct almost 80 percent ofthe time. “It can now be used anywhere,” the Swiss Federal Instituteof Technology said in a statement.The researchers plan to keep developing the technology inpartnershipwith a European effort that aims to create a lightning protectionprogram. The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project. Scientists working on theproject are experimenting with alaser technology that could someday control lightning activity, transferringlightning charges from clouds to the ground. They hope that such technology canone day be used as protection against lightning strikes. Possible uses could beat stations, airports or places where large crowds gather.（1）Why was the system developed?A . To meet kids’ curiosity about lightning.B . To show the power of lightning.C . To keep track of lightning deaths.D . To protect people from lightning.（2）What is special about the system?A . It was based on a number of samples worldwide.B . It adopted a different machine learning algorithm.C . It used an effective method of collecting data.D . It required low cost of predicting lightning.（3）What will the researchers do next with the laser technology?A . Monitor lightning activity.B . Prevent the occurrence of lightning.C . Direct energy from lightning.D . Generate electricity with lightning.（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?A . A System of Controlling LightningB . A Method of Forecasting LightningC . A Theory of Employing LightningD . A Model of Creating Lightning二、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）5. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Are we turning the world into a big rubbish dump(垃圾堆),or is there any hope that we can get rid of the pollution?Fortunately,millions of people have been warned of the danger of rge numbers of people are now working hard to bring pollution under control(控制).56.We must take care of the earth because_________.A.the earth moves round the sunB.we live on the earthC.a lot of animals live on itD.it is being polluted57.To pollute means _________.A.to make cleanB.a “dirty” wordC.to make air,water,soil unfit for usD.uncleanness58.Hundreds of years ago the earth could manage the pollution problem because _________.A.there was no industry thenB.there was plenty of fresh air,land and waterC.waste could be absorbed by natureD.both B and C59.Now man _________.A.begins to understand the danger of pollutionB.takes some measures to control pollutionC.still doesn't realize how serious pollution isD.doesn't pay any attention to pollutionBWomen turn to online shoppingWomen have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping，according to a study published last week in the US.For Years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women，but during the 2004 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases were women.“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming”，said Lee Rainie，director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group，which carried out the study.Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic(显著的)increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.However，three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004.They worried about credit card security，or just compared online prices with off-line prices，then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers don’t buy online，websites are becoming promotion tools for stores，”said Dan Hess，vice president of Comscore Networks Inc.Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.“It’s all about making the shopping experience moreefficient，more reliable and more comfortable，” Hess said.60.Which of the following statements is true?A.There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004.B.Most of the Inte rnet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.C.People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.D.More women shopped online than men in 2004.61.From the passage we can infer that________.A.men usually decide how to spend money in the familyB.women usually decide what to buy in the familyC.the Internet is used in all the shops.D.more and more shops will sell their goods online.62.According to Dan Hess，shopping online___________.A.is unsafeB.is convenientC.is a waste of timeD.is cheaper63.What can we know from the passage?A.American people only buy gifts in holidays.B.Shopping online is fun for women.C.Shopping off-line provides better service.D.Young people like to do gift-shopping online.CSince the earliest times,trees have always been very useful and important to man who made use of them in many ways for his daily life.Today trees continue to play a very important part in many ways.They provide man with fruits,fuel for burning,wood for building and furniture.You can imagine what would happen if there were no trees in the world in which we're living.In the tropics where it's very warm throughout the year,trees protect man from the heat of the hot sun.They are also very useful in protecting good and rich topsoil from being washedaway,as there are many heavy rains there.Without trees and grass,heavy rains would wash away the rich surface soil which is so essential for agriculture.The result is that the land becomes useless and unproductive.There are many desert areas in the world,which used to be very rich and fertile areas.But people in ancient times cut down trees indiscriminately and no new trees were planted.When strong winds came,they blew away the rich surface soil and for this reason the land was ruined into useless deserts where nothing could grow.64.From the passage,we know_________.A.some deserts were once fertile landsB.some deserts were once poor and useless landsC.deserts used to be covered by stonesD.deserts once were sea65.Topsoil is _________.A.good for raising sheep and cowsB.good for agricultureeful for trees to growD.found only by the rivers66.If there were no trees,_________.A.the land would become dryB.heavy rains would comeC.the rich topsoil could not be held backD.the rain would be necessary for man67.A good title for this passage is _________.A.Rich Land and DesertB.Not Going against the NatureC.The Importance of TreesD.How to Prevent Soil Being Washed AwayDYou are about to say something to your younger brother when he gestures that he’s got a phone message.“But I didn’t hear the ring，”you say.“Because you are too old，”your brother answers.Do n’t get mad. He’s just telling you the truth.Teenagers in Britain and the US have a weapon against the older generation，especially parents and teachers. It’s a ring tone that many adults cannot hear.According to a recent report from the New York Times，in some Manhattan schools，students have begun using the technology. Cellphone use is usually forbidden in class. But using the high-pitched (频率) ring tone，students can successfully exchange phone messages without being found by their teachers.The technology relies on the fact that most adults gradually lose the ability to hear high-pitched sounds, It was developed in Britain but has recently spread to America by the Internet.However，the technology was originally aimed at annoying teenagers，not the other way around.Called the Mosquito，it was marketed last year by a Welsh security company.

As I stood on the podium(领奖台) that I had dreamed about my entire life, a curious question popped into my head. Why me? Why did I win, given all the other incredible competitors out there? The reason had to be more than a grandmother who shared a belief in her grandson’s dream. The question led me to only one answer: because I wanted to make a difference in the world, and with all the media attention on my success, I could.
27. The whole passage is mainly about ______.

I decided to help students write in more detail about what they were thinking when they solved their problems or when they wrote about their ideas.I chose a common, everyday task that all of us 32 in: choosing what to wear. When I asked them how they decided what they wore that day, there was a(n) 33 moment of silence. It seemed a 34 silly question. A few just said “they wore what they wore.” This was a perfect beginning as it was the same kind of response they were giving as to how they weregetting their math answers. I told them how I decided what I wore that day.First I checked the weather in the paper and by looking outside. I had to decide between wearing a dress or skirt since either one could make a difference in the 35 I wish to give. Most of the girls related to this one. I had to be sure what I wanted to wear was clean and ironed. They 36 no one ironed clothes any more. I had to check to see if I had shoes that went with the possible outfit. I thought about what I had worn 37 as I usually don’t wear the same clothes in the same week. I thought about the color I felt like wearing. I thought about the 38 I would be doing that day both at school and after school.Each new consideration brought out comments from the students. I could expand on each or just mention it and go on, 39 on how long I wanted the lesson to go. After this discussion, it was clear to students that their thinking process is richer than they first suspected. It was a good lesson for showing details of the thinking process of which we weren’t 40 .III.

The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help 46 the common cold and other illnesses.Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness increasing immune(免疫的) function and subjective as in happy people being less 47 by a scratchy throat or runny nose. “People with a positive emotional style may have different immune 48 to the virus,” explained the lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “And when they do get a cold, they may 49 their illness as being less severe.”Cohen and his colleagues had found in a 50 study that happier people seemed less likely to catch a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional tendency itself had the effect.For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults with complete standard measures of personality tendency, health-consciousness and emotional “style”. Those who 51 be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style, 52those who were often unhappy, tense and unfriendly had a negative style. The researchers gave them drops through their noses 53 either a cold virus or a particular flu virus. Over the next six days, the 54 reported on any aches, pains, sneezing they had, while the researchers collected 55 data, like daily mucus(黏液) production. Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes(鼻部的不适), happy people were less likely to develop a cold.41. A. Living B. Staying C. Pulling D. Surviving42.

A. objective B. impressive C. positive D. effectiveSection BDirections:Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another. Understandably so. Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more. But we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little burnt out, and according to parent educator Diane Loisie, it’s their school work which suffers the most. “After school, if they are busy in a number of sporting events, besides, they need to do their homework, then the time they will feel sleepy is in the classroom. Your child needs free time. So if you are filling up that after school time, then it is during the day they are going to be having a break.”Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there is a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away. “Relaxing time is important for children. It’s time just to do the things they want to do. A child can go up to their room, or they can play around. Itdoesn’t look like productive time; parents certainly wouldn’t be saying “Wow, are they ever leaning things now?” But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning that’s gone on that day.”It’s hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in the great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. However, Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them. “ When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, then what we’re doing is setting them up not be good at one thing or gaining a skill”. So choose your children’s activities wisely. It may be one of the best things you’ve ever done for your kids…and for the family drivers!( ) 56. What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?A. They can get bored easily about everything.B. They might have no time to do the homework.C. They might not pay much attention to learning.D. They cannot easily focus on learning during the day.( ) 57. What should we think of children’s playing around aimlessly?A. It is productiveB. It is helpfulC. It is a bad habit.D. It is a waste of time( ) 58.Why should parents limit the activities our children attend?A. Because children have no time.B. Because children cannot learn many thingsC. Because children do not have enough sleep.D. Because children cannot focus on too many activities.( ) 59. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Don’t be children’s driver after schoolB. Choose activities for your children wisely.C. Make your children learn as much as possibleD. Let children learn something from various subjects.(B)Beginning college is exciting: new ideas to explore, new challenges to be met and many decisions to be made; your future begins here.However, you will find college life is different from your previous school environment.Many of us can be easily overwhelmed by the details of running a well-balanced life. While some of us may have the know-how, I guess there are more of us who can benefit from learning about the experiences of others who have walked the college halls before you.The following you may find of use about life on campus:●Plan well.There are so many new things to do at a new college or university. Give yourself time to make new friends and become familiar with the campus, but don’t forget why you are there. Give some time for social activities and manage your time wisely.●If you don’t have a “system” for planning your time now (like a day timer, a computer data book), get one. Most of all, don’t depend on your memory.●Don’t miss the guidelines. The restrictions, rules and regulations of all kinds can usually be found in your students’ handbook. Consider them well-balanced food for thought. What dates are important? What pieces of paper need to be handed in? What can/cannot you do in your student residence? Who do you need to complete to graduate?●Write the word “STUDY” on the walls of the bedroom and bathroom, and maybe it will help to write it on a piece of paper and stick it on the telephone, TV and the kitchen table. Consider this ------ you are paying thousands of dollars for your course. You pay every time you have to repeat or replace a course.●Build your identity. This is the time for you to decide what to do and what not to do. Take as much time as you need to explore new ideas. Do not be afraid of the beyond. This is learning to make good choices.( ) 60. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To offer advice on college lifeB. To explain why college life is exciting.C. To describe the importance of college life.D. To persuade you to go to college.( ) 61. According to the passage, why is it exciting to begin college life?A. Because you will have more freedom at college.B. Because you will no longer be afraid of the beyond.C. Because you prepare for your future career and life there.D. Because the professors will provide you with a lot of new ideas.( ) 62. The underlined word “know-how” refers to ________.A. An understanding of how things are going at collegeB. Practical knowledge about how to behave and what to do at collegeC. College halls where rules and regulations are presentedD. An environment completely different from the one you are used to( ) 63. According to the passage, college students _____________.A. needn’t learn from those who went to college before themB. spends as much time as possible on social activitiesC. should know what they have fight for on campusD. are supposed to repeat or replace at least one course(C)Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “ And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of ‘garbage in garbage out’.”Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has something to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is that they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it is going to the wrong place.”Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on Driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better, we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.( )64. In Para. 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to ______.A. laugh at his stupid friendB. describe an example of human errorC. build up his own reputationD. prove the GPS system is only garbage( )65. Which of the following statement would Barry Brown be most likely to agree with?A. GPS units are to blame for the most GPS service failure.B. We should introduce higher standard for the driving licenseC. Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.D. Some shortcomings of GPS equipment are more likely to result in service failure. ( )66. What would be the best title for the text?A. Driving with GPS Can Be Difficult.B. Driving Confusions Can Be Caused By Small Screen.C. Driving without GPS Should Be Much More Convenient.D. GPS Equipment In Driving: To Be Deserted Or Improved.DA. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us.B. Reading is a longer and more complicated process than seeing.C. How can we get the deepest and widest pleasure from what you reed ?D. How at the comer of the street, perhaps, you passed two people talkingE. But when you attempt to reconstruct it in words, you will find that it breaks into a thousand conflicting impressions.F. If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read.It is simple enough to say that since books have classes -- fiction, biography, poetry --we should separate them and take from each what it is right and what should give us. 67 Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconception when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellow-worker and accomplice. 68 But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible(细微的) fineness, from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite. The 32 chapters of a novel -- if we consider how to read a novel first -- are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled as a building: but words are more impalpable （感触不到的）than bricks; 69 Perhaps the quickest way to understand the elements of what a novelist is doing is not to read, but to write; to make your own experiment with the dangers and difficulties of words. Recall, then, some event that has left a distinct impression on you . 70 A tree shock; an electric light danced; the tone of the talk was comic, but also tragic; a whole vision, an entire conception, seemed contained in that moment.SummaryFed up with constantly having to recharge or replace batteries in your ever-expanding electronic devices? The solution may be just a few steps away.“Energy harvesting” promises to power countless consumer devices, often with nothing more than your body’s movement or heat.Dozens of companies around the world already offer such products, but many experts believe the market for the technology could explode due to electronic devices being developed for the Internet of Things.“It’s huge,” said Graham Martin, CEO of the EnOcean Alliance, a San Ramon-based group of businesses that promotes wireless energy-harvesting technologies.With the Internet of Things expected to combine billions of devices, “if they are all battery-powered, we’ll have a problem because there’s not enough lithium (锂) in the world,” he added. “So a lot of them will have to use energy harvesting.”Among the most basic forms of the technology is body power. When certain materials are squeezed or stretched, the movement of their atoms creates an electrical charge. Automatic watches have employed the concept for decades, for example, by winding themselves when their user moves their arm. Now, the concept is being considered for a number of other devices.In a contest seeking visionary ideas for wearable technologies, Intel awarded $5,000 for a concept to change the temperature difference between a person’s body and a special piece of clothing they’d wear into electricity for mobile devices.Using sound to power devices is another energy-harvesting variation. Stanford Universityengineers are testing smart microchips (芯片) that create electricity from ultrasound (超声波) to power implantable (可植入的) devices that can analyze a person’s nervous system or treat their diseases.A textile (纺织品) research association in Spain is proposing to obtain electricity from radio waves that flow around everyone to power sensors sewn into clothes, which can monitor a person’s heartbeat or other vital signs.Research firm ID Tech Ex has estimated that annual global sales of energy-harvesting products could hit $2.6 billion by 2024, while Winter Green Research predicts sales of $4.2 billion by 2019.Obtaining stable energy from devices can be complex, however.For one thing, the motion that generates the electricity has to be constant to be useful. Moreover, the amount of power the devices produce depends on the person using them, according to a Columbia University study. It determined that taller people on average provide about 20 percent more power than shorter ones when walking, running or cycling.It’s also unclear how eagerly consumers might welcome energy-harvesting products.While such devices are expected to cost less than battery-powered alternatives when compared over many years, experts say, people may continue buying ones with batteries merely because those would be cheaper in the short term.第II卷I.
