rick stevenson, who tells ceelys story in his book when machines fail us, points the 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 everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards. the problem with his argument in the book is that its not clear why he only focuses on 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 paying attention. perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor signalling system. or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the gps equipment. but stevenson doesnt say. its a problem that runs through the book. in a section 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 again not all new locks have proved 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 amusing and complex. it is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for 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. 1. what did paula ceely think was the cause of her accident? a. she was not familiar with the road.b. it was dark and raining heavily then.c. the railway workers failed to give the signal.d. her gps device didnt tell her about the crossing. 2. the phrase “near miss” (paragraph 2)can best be replaced by.a. close hitb. heavy lossc. narrow escape d. big mistake3. which of the following would rick stevenson most probably agree with? a. modern technology is what we cant live without. b. digital technology often falls short of our expectation.c. digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.d. gps error is not the only cause for ceelys accident. 4. in the writers opinion, stevensons argument is.a. one-sidedb. reasonable c. puzzling d. well-based5. what is the real concern of the writer of this article? a. the major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.b. the relationship between humans and technology.c. the shortcomings of digital devices we use.d. the human unawareness of technical problems.【参考答案】74.1-5 dcbab 阅读理解【2014日照模拟】worldfamous violinist itzhak perlman was stricken with polio as a child.as a result，he wears braces on both legs and walks with the aid of crutches.at_concerts，getting on stage is no small achievement_for_him. he slowly crosses the stage until he reaches his chair. he lays his crutches on the floor，slowly undoes the clasps (扣环) on his legs，puts one foot backward and extends the other one forward.then he bends down and picks up the violin，puts it under his chin (下巴)，nods to the conductor，and starts to play.one fall evening in 1995，while performing at avery fisher hall at lincoln center in new york city，perlman had to deal with one additional trouble.jack reimer，a famous reporter with the houston chronicle，described the scene.“just as he finished the first few bars，one of the strings on his violin broke.you could hear the sound go off like gunfire across the room.there was no mistaking what that sound meant.”there was no mistaking what he had to do.people who were there said，“we figured he would have to get up.to either find another violin or find another string for this one.”but he didnt.instead he waited a moment，closed his eyes，and then signaled the conductor to begin again.the band and he played from where he had left off.he played with enthusiasm and power.of course，it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings.but that night itzhak perlman refused to know that.you could see him modulate (调音)，change，recompose the piece in his head.at one point，it sounded like he was tuning the strings to get new sounds they had never made before.1what does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean?aits a piece of cake for perlman to perform on the stage.bits not easy for perlman to get on the stage.cperlman has achieved great success on the stage.dperlman has small achievements on the stage.2.how did the string break?ait only broke by accident.bperlman broke the string because he was too excited.ca gunfire from somewhere in the room broke it.dit was broken by the few bars.3.after the string broke the audience thought that perlman would_.aget angry at his performancebgive up the performancecdo something about the violindcontinue performing with the threestring violin4.it can be inferred from the last paragraph that perlman_.apretended not to know that the string was brokenbthought nothing was impossiblecwas a very proud mandshowed his selfconfidence in time of trouble5.what is the best title for the passage?aa worldfamous disabled artist ban unexpected accidentcthe performance went on da threestring violin and its owner语篇解读本文是一篇人物故事，讲述了著名残疾人演奏家perlman演出过程中发生的意外和他的应对措施。1解析：句意理解题。画线句中的achievement指的是perlman能够做到的事情。下文中描述他上台的细节，说明对于一个行动不便的残疾人来说，能够自己走上舞台，已经是很了不起的事情了，对他自己已经是一个不小的成就了。答案：b 2.解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段倒数第一、二句“you could hear the sound go off like gunfire across the room.there was no mistaking what that sound meant.”可知，琴弦是弹奏过程中意外断掉的。答案：a 3.解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“we figured he would have to get up.to either find another violin or find another string for this one.”可知，观众们揣测他会换另一把琴或者换根弦。答案：c 4.解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，他仅仅用三根弦继续完成了他的演奏，可推断他对于自己拉琴的能力很有信心。答案：d 5.解析：标题概括题。通读全文可知，文章的核心不是断弦事件本身，而是断弦后perlman镇定自信的表现，让人佩服和感动。故选项c最适合做标题。答案：c。短文改错。假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同学写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出
