　　(2024·山東實驗中學一模)

　　Global Positioning Systems (全球定位系統) 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.However，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.

　　Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm，Sweden.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.Mr Brown says，“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 what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings，or failures，of GPS equipment.He says，“One problem with a lot of the GPS units is 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’s going to the wrong place.”

　　Mr Brown says，“One of the things that struck us，perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what you’re doing when you use a GPS.There are these new skills that people have developed.There are these new competencies (資格) that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimes go wrong.This goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skills.”

　　Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers，passengers and GPS systems work together.

　　1．According to Barry Brow，in most cases，________are blame for the problems.

　　A．human errors

　　B．GPS errors

　　C．errors caused by both drivers and GPS

　　D．errors caused by putting in a wrong address

　　2．The example of Barry Brown’s friend is used to show that________.

　　A．GPS is nothing but garbage

　　B．GPS is still not accurate enough

　　C．it is difficult for drivers to use GPS equipment

　　D．sometimes drivers are responsible for the problem

　　3．It can be inferred from the second paragraph that________.

　　A．it’s impossible to drive from the east to the west in the US

　　B．Barry Brown’s friend went to Stockholm，Sweden by plane

　　C．given wrong instructions，the GPS will produce wrong results

　　D．GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skills

　　4．Which of the followings is one of the shortcomings of GPS equipment?

　　A．It just tells the driver to turn once at a time.

　　B．It gives the driver the overview.

　　C．Its screen is too small to be seen clearly.

　　D．It is only suitable for passive drivers.

　　5．What’s the main idea of the text?

　　A．GPS systems are helpful for drivers.

　　B．Driving with GPS can be difficult to navigate (導航)．

　　C．Drivers should understand how GPS systems work.

　　D．Drivers should learn to use GPS systems correctly.課時作業(八)

　　.單項填空

　　1．解析：　考查交際用語。根據“but I’ll have to check my schedule for sure”可知，此處表示“應該沒問題，但還要查看一下時間表確定一下”，因此選B。

　　答案：　B

　　2．解析：　考查冠詞。句意為：據說澳大利亞產的羊毛質量很好?！皃roduced in Australia”是后置定語，修飾wool，所以第一空用the表示特指；第二空是“be of＋抽象名詞”結構，名詞前不用冠詞。

　　答案：　B

　　3．解析：　句意為：看到街道的拐角處有一大群人，我意識到有什么不尋常的事情發生了。unusual作后置定語修飾 something。

　　答案：　B

　　4．解析：　句意為：聰明的人常常能使復雜的事簡單化，然而愚蠢的人更有可能使簡單的事復雜化。本題考查動詞辨析。sacrifice犧牲，奉獻；substitute代替，取代；simplify使……簡單化；survive幸存，幸免于。前后分句表對比，故C項符合句意。

　　答案：　C

　　5．解析：　考查動詞的時態。根據語境可知，drink這一動作發生在表示感謝之前，是過去發生的動作，所以用一般過去時。

　　答案：　A

　　6．解析：　考查非謂語動詞。句意為：由于缺乏社會交流而造成的誤解，如果得不到恰當的處理，可能會導致嚴重的問題。第一空，Misunderstandings和arise為邏輯上的主謂關系，所以用arise的現在分詞形式，arise from意為“由……產生”。第二空，handle和Misunderstandings為邏輯上的動賓關系，所以用handle的過去分詞形式。

　　答案：　B

　　7．解析：　考查情態動詞。句意為：據說這家店里有很多種外套，你應該很容易就能夠找到一件合適的。should表示“應該”，符合句意。

　　答案：　D

　　8．解析：　考查狀語從句。句意為：在我從媒體了解更多的信息之前，我不明白為什么敘利亞問題會變得如此復雜。 before意為“在……之前”，符合句意。

　　答案：　B

　　9．解析：　句意為：獨自徒步旅行很有趣也有利于身體健康。同時對于性格的塑造也有所幫助。character性格，符合題意。respect尊重；friendship友誼；reputation名聲。

　　答案：　D

　　10．解析：　考查名詞辨析。句意為：因為H7N9禽流感，上海所有的活禽市場都被關閉直到另行通知才能開放。sign跡象，手勢；symbol象征，符號；signal信號；notice通知。根據句意可知，應選D項。

　　答案：　D

　　11．解析：　考查連詞。句意為：——你是怎么通過這么有挑戰性的考試的？——我過了很長時間后才找到一系列合適的辦法。分析句意可知，這是“It was＋時間＋before從句”句型，主句為肯定句，意為“過了多長時間之后才……”，before在……以前。

　　答案：　D

　　12．解析：　考查副詞。句意為：我也許會失敗，但是無論怎樣，我會堅持做的。我永不灰心。anyhow無論如何，反正，符合句意。A.用某種方法，不知為什么；C.然后；D.同時。

　　答案：　B

　　13．解析：　考查狀語從句。根據so...that...如此……以至于，得出答案。

　　答案：　C

　　14．解析：　考查動詞短語辨析。deal with處理，應付；應對；agree with同意；贊同；turn out結果，原來是；put out撲滅；生產。

　　答案：　A

　　15．解析：　考查定語從句。先行詞the point在后面的定語從句中作地點狀語，故用where引導。

　　答案：　D

　　.完形填空

　　語篇解讀　 本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。生活中我們常常會遇到這樣的情況，明明喝的是咖啡卻非常在意裝咖啡的杯子，殊不知咖啡杯只是一個器具，杯中的咖啡才應該是真正的旨趣所在。

　　1．解析：　考查名詞辨析。根據本句的“stress”及下文第二段末句中的“problems and stress”可知，此處應該是抱怨生活和工作中的壓力。

　　答案：　B

　　2．解析：　

　　考查名詞辨析。根據第一段內容可知，學生們來看望教過自己的大學教授，對于教授來說這些學生就是客人。

　　答案：　C

　　3．解析：　

　　考查動詞辨析。因為前文提到要給學生們咖啡喝，那么教授去了廚房之后應該是又返回客廳。

　　答案：　B

　　4．解析：　考查名詞辨析。從破折號的解釋可看出，教授拿來許多不同的咖啡杯。如果選擇A項則意為“一種杯子”，與下文的敘述相悖。a variety of cups意為“各種各樣的”，符合語境，故選C。

　　答案：　C

　　5．解析：　考查動詞辨析。help oneself to是固定搭配，意為“隨便用(或吃)”。教授拿回不同的杯子和咖啡讓學生自便，從而引出下文教授的評價與教導。

　　答案：　C

　　6．解析：　考查動詞辨析。教授拿出許多不同的咖啡杯，這是教授引起學生注意的方式，所以教授說：“你們都注意到了”。因此答案選D，noticed意為“注意，關注”。

　　答案：　D
