over,the crowd made for the exits.A theater employee had just finished mopping the hallway and dutifully placed the “wet floor” sign in the slippery area.No one slipped due to the wet conditions,but someone did manage to knock over the sign.And by the time Ms.Brown got to the area,the sign was lying on the floor.And shortly thereafter,so was she.Her foot got caught in the sign,in a bad way,and she fell.Unfortunately Ms.Brown had undergone a back operation,and the fall caused more damage than it otherwise would have.So she and her husband sued(提起诉讼).AMC argued that the entire point of the “wet floor” sign above was to warn of danger,and therefore,courts should encourage the use by not allowing Browns case to proceed(继续进行).AMC referred to a case about a December,1998 incident,where a “wet floor” sign,not in use,fell to the floor causing another trip-and-fall.In that case,Georgias Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the store,but didnt go so far as to say that “wet floor” signs couldnt give rise to legal liability(责任) in trip-and-fall accidents.In the Brown case,the Supreme Court therefore rejected AMCs argument that the former case applied.But the Browns argued something surprising that the “wet floor” sign was,itself,dangerous,because “using this type of sign in areas passed by lots of customers creates an unreasonable risk of foreseeable harm to the public in the form of tripping hazards(危险).” Thats rightthe safety sign,used in the way it was designed,was itself dangerous.The court thankfully didnt accept that argument,at least not entirely.But it did conclude that Browns case could continue to a jury(陪审团)“a merchants selection and use of equipment designed to warn customers of one danger that has the potential to expose them to a different one”.24.According to the text,Ms.Brown .A.slipped on the wet floorB.tripped over a warning signC.knocked over a warning signD.was knocked down by the crowd25.AMC mentioned the 1998 case in order to .A.accept its legal liability for Ms.Browns lossB.prove Ms.Brown had some physical problemsC.stress that it had no legal liability for the accidentD.prove other customers were responsible for the accident26.What can we learn about the Browns case from the last paragraph?A.It would be judged by a jury.B.It would not be allowed to proceed.C.The court would rule in favor of AMC.D.The court accepted all the arguments of the Browns.27.The underlined word “one” in the last paragraph refers to “”.A.dangerB.customerC.business ownerD.equipment in public places语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要介绍了布朗夫人在美国一家AMC影院看完电影离开时,被“小心地滑”的指示牌绊倒受伤后,向法院提起诉讼以及法院的审判结果。答案及剖析:24.B细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“.Ms.Brown got to the area,the sign was lying on the floor.And shortly thereafter,so was she.Her foot got caught in the sign,in a bad way,and she fell.”可知,布朗夫人被“小心地滑”的指示牌绊倒了。B项中的tripped over意为“被绊倒”,与文章表述相符,故选B项。C项中的knocked over意为“打翻,撞倒”,不符合文意。25.C推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一句“AMC argued that.encourage the use by not allowingBrowns case to proceed(继续进行).”可知,AMC影院认为布朗夫人的控诉不成立,法院应该鼓励使用这样的警示牌,接着第二句AMC影院举出1998年的案例来支持自己的观点。由此可推测,AMC影院提到这一案例是为了强调自己不应该承担本次事故的责任。26.A细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“But it did conclude that Browns case could continue to a jury.”可知,法院提请陪审团来审理此案。27.A猜测词义题。根据文章最后一段最后一句可知,一个商人选择和使用某一种设备来警示顾客某种危险,而这种设备本身就可能将顾客置于另一种危险中。由此可猜测,one指代上文中的danger。CMany of us have reached in our pockets,feeling a vibration(振动),wrongly believing our mobile phones have just rung.The phenomenon even has a name:“phantom vibration syndrome”and found it is surprisingly common.Now scientists believe that we are so alert(警觉的) for phone calls and messages we are misinterpreting slight muscle spasms(痉挛) as proof of a call.Robert Rosenberger,an assistant professor at the Georgia Tech Institute of Technology has studied the delusional calls.He said sufferers describe a vague tingling feeling which they think is their mobile phone indicating it has received a text message or call while on “silent”.But when the device is retrieved,there was no one on the other end.Dr.Rosenberger said,“I find so many people say,This happens to me,but I thought I was the only one.I thought I was odd.”It seems that the syndrome particularly affects people at the beck and call of mobile phones or pagers.A 2010 study by Michael Rothberg and colleagues found that nearly 70 per cent of doctors at a hospital in Massachusetts suffered phantom vibrations.A more recent study of US college students found the figure was as high as 90 per cent.While the odd feeling is widespread,it does not seem to be considered a grave problem.Dr.Rosenberger said,“Its not actually a syndrome in a technical sense.Thats just the name thats got stuck to it.”He added,“Only 2 per cent of people consider it a problem.”While widespread,the scientific community has not yet invested much effort in getting to the bottom of why we suffer phantom calls.Dr.Rosenberger said,“People are guessing it has something to do with nervous energy.The cognitive(认知的) scientists are talking about brain chemistry,cognitive pathways changing.But its not like they have brain scans to go on.”He said,“We have a phone call in our pocket all the time and it becomes sort of an extension of ourselves.We have this sort of readiness to experience a call.We feel something and we think,OK,that could be a call.”28.Why do some people mistake slight muscle spasms for a call?A.They all have a vivid imagination.B.They are sensitive to calls and messages.C.There are few calls and messages in their life.D.Slight muscle spasms affect them more than other people.29.Which of the following are more likely to have phantom vibration syndrome than others?A.Doctors.B.University professors.C.College students.D.The cognitive scientists.30.In Dr.Rosenbergers opinion,phantom vibration syndrome .A.isnt a kind of disease actuallyB.is considered a problem by most peopleC.is a serious problem ignored by peopleD.has something to do with brain chemistry31.What does the text mainly talk about?A.Most people have phantom vibration syndrome.B.How to keep away from phantom vibration syndrome.C.How to reduce phantom phone vibrations.D.People care too much about phantom phone vibrations.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一种非常普遍的病症振动幻听综合征。答案及剖析:28.B细节理解题。根据第二段第一句Now scientists believe that we are so alert(警觉的) for phone calls and messages we are misinterpreting slight muscle spasms(痉挛) as proof of a call.可知,产生这种误解的原因是这些人对电话和信息比较敏感。29.C细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句A more recent study of US college students found the figure was as high as 90 per cent.可知,90%的大学生有可能患有振动幻听综合征。30.A细节理解题。根据第四段中的Its not actually a syndrome in a technical sense.Thats just the name thats got stuck to it.可知,Rosenberger博士认为振动幻听综合征并不是一种病。31.A主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了大多数人都患有振动幻听综合征。DA new keyboard can tell whether you are its owner.The keyboard records information about the typing pattern and sends it to a
