everyday driving in many countries. these satellitebased systems provide turnbyturn directions to help people get to where they want to go. but they can also cause a lot of problems, sending 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. the center studies humancomputer interaction, or hci, especially communications involving wireless devices. 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 gpsequipped 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 wasnt until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they had 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 to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of gps equipment.barry brown：“one problem with many 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 its 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 peoples cars. they wrote a paper based on their research. it is called “the normal, natural troubles of driving with gps.”barry brown: “one of the things that struck us, perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what youre doing when you use a gps. there are these new skills that people have developed. there are these new competencies that you need to have to be able to use a gps because they sometimes go wrong.”barry brown says this goes against a common belief that gps systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational (导航) skills.“the normal, natural troubles of driving with gps” 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 these include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand.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.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。gps全球定位系统可以帮助人们找到想去的地方，但gps也会带来许多问题，所以使用gps全球定位系统是否可靠变得不确定。5what is the best title for this passage?ais gps system reliable to use? bwhat is the use of gps?chow to make the most

comfort, warmth and even some style. what many uggenthusiasts dont know is that their boots are a breeding ground for bacteria and cause foot problems.doctors believe the boots, which are particularly popular among young teenage girls, are leading to a rise in the number of people suffering pains in their feet and knees.dr. ian drysdale, head of the british college of osteopathic medicine, believes because the foot does not get the proper support on the inside, it will lead to more ankle, knee, hip and back problems. “these boots are not designed for outside wear. just because something becomes a trend or fashionable doesnt mean its good or right，” he said. “the particular problem with this type of footwear is that it is unsupported. its a slipper. you wouldnt normally expect to be doing outdoor activities from something thats indoor. if you decide to wear your pajamas outside all the time, someone will come up and say its not a good idea.” dr. drysdale explained that the feet issues become a particular problem among young teenage girls, whose bones are “plastic” and developing when they are growing. “if that structure is developing in an inappropriate way，” he said，“then the ultimate structure will be deformed.”mike oneill, a consultant surgeon, said，“as the foot slides around, you get wear and tear (磨损) on the joints on the inside of the foot. the ankle is in the wrong position, the thigh bone also changes position, and you get an abnormal movement in the pelvis, which leads to back problems.”ugg australia, who makes the designer version of the boots, told the daily wirror that their boots are “comfort” rather than “performance” footwear and consumers should be aware of “knockoffs (仿制品)” which lack reinforced heels in their boots.文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了雪地靴因它的时尚、舒适、保暖等特性而备受年轻女孩的青睐。但研究人员发现，在它时尚的外观背后，隐藏着一些不为人知的健康隐患。9teenage girls prefer to wear ugg boots because of the following except _.adesign bcomfort cquality

ddamaged答案：d词义猜测题。由语境可知，年轻女孩子的骨头正在发育，具有一定的可塑性。如果骨骼结构以一种不合适的方式发育的话，骨骼就会损伤，发生变形。shaped合适的，有计划的；strengthened使加强的；reformed革新的；damaged损伤的，毁坏的。此处与倒数第二段中“back problems”相照应。故d项正确。12which of the following can
