23、sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio parked across a railway line. Second later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks. Ceely's near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(導(dǎo)航儀).She had never driven the route before .It was

24、 dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS. But it made no mention of the crossing. "I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train," she told the BBC. W ho is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely's story in his book W

25、hen Machines Fail US, finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, But our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And its not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everyth

26、ing from mobile phones to wireless key boards. The problem with his argument in the book is that its not clear why he only focuses digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not p

27、aying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signaling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the CPS equipment. But Stevenson doesnt say.Its a problem that runs through the book. In a sect

28、ion on cars, Stevenson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once once again not all new locks have pr

29、oved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe its also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.The game between humans and their smart devices is complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhe

30、re in the mix of those forces there may be way a wiser use of technology. If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.( )

38、DCBABD(2015·吉林第二次調(diào)研)My students often tell me that they dont have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork.My reply is often a brief “You_have_as_much_time_as_the_president.” I tell them that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.Once in graduate schoo

39、l, I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, “Thats irrelevant(無關(guān)的). Whats important is the quality of your work.”If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course，the matter of “time”， which we can think

40、 of as fixed. Then there is the problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, its not how hard one works but the quality of the product thats important.That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in

41、 someones office：“Dont work harder. Work smarter.” There is a lot of sense in that idea.If you cant get more time, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of

42、our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”， the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study，chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are

43、 big benefits that pay off in all your studies.1From the passage, we know that the author is probably _Aa poetBan educator Ca novelist Dan engineer2What does the underlined sentence “You have as much time as the president.” mean?AThere are twenty­four hours in the day for everyone.BThe presiden

44、t always has more time than students.CStudents dont have enough time to do all their schoolwork.DStudents can get everything done well as the president.3According to the passage, working smarter is to _Awork harder and harder Bget your time fixedCget more time Dimprove the quality of the work【解題導(dǎo)語】本

45、文是一篇議論文。人們經(jīng)常抱怨時間不夠用，但每個人每天所擁有的時間是相同的。僅僅工作努力還不夠，最重要的是提高工作質(zhì)量。對于聰明的學(xué)生而言，這就需要改善學(xué)習(xí)技巧，主要是閱讀和寫作技巧。1解析：選B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“My students”可推知，作者是一名教師。故選B項，意為“教育工作者”。A項意為“詩人”；C項意為“小說家”；D項意為“工程師”，都不符合作者身份。2解析：選A。句意理解題。閱讀第一段和第二段可知，學(xué)生們抱怨時間不夠，作業(yè)完成不了。作者認(rèn)為，時間不夠不是做不完作業(yè)的理由，因為學(xué)生和總統(tǒng)一樣，每天都有24小時的時間，但總統(tǒng)每天要處理很多事。由此可知，答案為A項。3解析：選

46、D。推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段第一句“If you cant get more time，the only solution is to improve the quality of the work.”可知，我們不能獲得更多時間，所以唯一能做的就是提高工作質(zhì)量。由此可知，明智地工作就是提高工作質(zhì)量。故選D項。EShay asked, “Do you think theyll let me play?” Shays father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the fa

47、ther also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.Shays father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around and said,

48、“Were losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth inning (局).I guess he can be on our team and well try to put him in to bat in the final inning.Shay struggled over to the teams bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart.

49、The boys saw the fathers joy at his son being accepted.In the bottom of the eighth inning, Shays team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously joyful just to be in

50、the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning, Shays team scored again. Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?Surprisingly, Shay was given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (

51、投) came and Shay missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.The pitcher could have easily thrown he ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out

52、and that would have been the end of the game .Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates, The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, “Shay, run to first!” Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made i

53、t to first base, wide-eyed and shocked.Everyone should, “Run to second!” Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, could have thrown the ball t

54、o the second baseman, but he understood the pitchers intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third basemans head.All were screaming，“Shay，Shay，Shay，all the way Shay.” Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “Shay, run to third.”

55、As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “Shay, run home！”Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who t won the game for his team.That day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece true love and humanity into this world. Shay didnt make it to another
