陕西三原县2016高考英语【二轮】阅读理解基础训练（3）阅读理解 an australian company, smart car technologies, has developed a system that lets drivers know when theyre speeding. when the technology becomes commercially available, it could help lead-footed drivers avoid tickets and also save lives. the company that developed the product hopes to convince australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets.the product, called speed alert, links real-time location data and speed obtained with the help of gps to a database of posted speed limits stored in a drivers pda or programmable mobile phone. the setup of the product does not need to be hooked up to a cars speedometer. in fact, it is entirely portable. it will also work with newer phones and pdas that have built-in gps receivers. if a driver exceeds the speed limit, the speed is shown and an alert sounds.michael paine, an australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant, was hired to analyze the product. he told live science that his colleagues in the road safety field are “very enthusiastic” about what theyre now calling “intelligent speed alert.” other research, according to paine, shows that 40 percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding. there is also a potentially controversial future use: “since the system is so portable, it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving,” paine said. “the system even has the capability to record speeding violations, so parents can monitor their teenage drivers.”the product will soon go on sale in sydney.48. whats the purpose of the new product?a. to inform us of the new car system. b. to introduce some improvement in cars.c. to limit certain drivers to safe driving. d. to

simple brush shelter to the five-storied pueblo.in the eastern united states, one of the existing types was that commonly know under the algonkian name of wigwam in which the iroquois indians lived. the wigwams were of wagon-top shape with straight sides and ends, made by bending young trees to form the round shape. over this shape pieces of tree bark were laid to protect the indians from bad weather. over the bark dried grass was added. a small hole allowed smoke to escape from the top. doorways at each end served also as windows, the iroquois indians built trunk walls all around their villages. the wall had only one opening, they could quickly close this opening if their enemies came near.interestingly, the choctaw indians in mississippi also lived in a wigwam of a most primitive(原始的) construction, but different from those of the iroquois indians. the choctaw indians wigwams, made from mud, cane and straw, were in the form of a bee-hive. the covering was made of a long, tough grass. a post in the centre supported the roof. a hole in the top admitted the light, and allowed the smoke to pass out.the tipi tent-housing of the upper lake and plains area was put up with poles set lightly in the ground, tied together near the top, and covered with bark and grass in the lake country. it was easily portable, and two women could set it up or take it down within an hour.the pawnee, mandan and other indian tribes (部落) along the missouri built solid ring-shaped structures of trunk, covered with earth and dried grass, housing a dozen families.the wichita and other tribes of the texas border built large ring-shaped houses covered with dried grass. apart from the regular housing, almost every tribe had some style of housing.( ) 1.which of the following pictures shows the house for the iroquois indians？( ) 2. according to the passage, the pawnee indians built their houses _.a. with openings in the trunk walls b. large enough for several families c. in a ring shape with bark and mud d. by bending young trees to form the shape( ) 3. all the native indian houses described in the passage were_. a. of the same shape b. covered with grass c. built with a post

the big get bigger, the small get smaller? it could well be so, if it werent for the internet and the surge of electronic commerce. much has been changed. think back to a decade ago and imagine you were looking for a specialized product. its a story which happened to me.i wanted to purchase 300 quill pens to hand them out to guests at a function being held in nov. 1991. it wasnt until i had exhausted almost all of the melbourne yellow pages directory that i gained a lead. a melbourne gift supplier knew of a company in britain that produced quill pens in the quantities which i required. i commenced by faxing the sales manager. having no response after a week, i sent another fax addressing it to anyone who can help me. a week later i received a brochure. we chose the quill pens most suitable and placed an order for 300 via the fax. after 3 days i rang the company to see where my order was, only to find out the order had not been received. i proceeded to refax the information. the order then was processed and they asked for a deposit which was sent. they then confirmed the order. being in the freight forwarding business, i asked our uk agent to pick up the shipment for me in three days. at that point the unexpected occurred. they didnt have the required number of quill pens in stock. the order was incapable of being fulfilled on time! the result? the whole process took 6 weeks to reach the point where the outcome was negative. this was in 1991.that is not the way o do business in 2000. if today i was looking for quill pens, i would go straight to the internet. there i would find numerous suppliers of quill pens and be able to see clear pictures, examine prices, know when and how the product could be delivered, and order and pay for it. today suppliers compete by their web pages and have opened up the whole world to their products.e-commerce helps small businesses compete in the world market, against multinational organizations. businesses, no matter how small, become virtual organizations and can give the same information as though all the components of manufacturing, warehousing and freight were available as in-house functions.lets assume that my quill pen supplier in britain is now just that - the supplier. the customer, however, doesnt know that! the several participants in its supply chain are now the manufacturer, the marketing company (my quill pen company), the freight company, the distributor and the end user. the supply chain can be electronically automated with the greatest of ease. it does not matter how many participants are involved, or how far and extended is the supply chain. the internet does the rest!e-commerce enables small to medium-sized businesses to usefully interact within the supply chain, as if they were all part of the same organizations they now have the tools to compete! all this happened in a market which, until recently, was regarded for the big players only. overall it brings competitiveness and greater profitability.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、d）中，选出最佳选项。tips on getting more efficiency out of women employeesthis is an actual excerpt from the july 1943 issue of mass transportation. it was written for male supervisors of women in the work force during ww ii.theres no longer any question whether companies should hire women for jobs formerly held by men. the draft and manpower shortage has settled that point. the important things now are to select the most efficient women available and how to use them to the best advantage. here are nine helpful tips on the subject:1. pick young married women. they have more of a sense of responsibility than their unmarried sisters, they are less likely to be flirtatious, and they need the work or they wouldnt be doing it, and they still have the pep and interest to work hard and to deal with the public efficiently.2. when you have to use older women, try to get ones who have worked outside the home at some time in their lives. older women who have never contacted the public have a hard time adapting themselves and are inclined to be fussy. its always well to impress upon older women the importance of friendliness and courtesy.3. general experience indicates that the girls who are just a little on the heavy side are more even-tempered and efficient than their underweight sisters.4. stress at the outset the importance of time - the fact that a minute or two lost here and there makes serious delays on schedules. until this point is gotten across, service i
