　　三、阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path.That's when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.

　　Ceely's near_miss made the news because she blamed it on the GPS (导航仪). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train，” she told the BBC.

　　Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely's 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 it's 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 it's not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map­maker 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 singalling 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 doesn't say.

　　It's 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 computer­based 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 it's 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.

　　【语篇解读】　作者在文中讲述了Ceely的GPS出现错误而引发的事故，提到了Rick Stevenson的观点，作者对他的观点提出了不同的意见，从而揭示了人类与科技之间的关系。

　　36．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 didn't tell her about the crossing.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据第二段中的Ceely was relying on her GPS，but it made no mention of the crossing.可知D项正确。 ]

　　37.The phrase “near miss” (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by________.

　　A．close hitB．heavy loss

　　C．narrow escapeD．big mistake

　　答案　C　[词义猜测题。根据第一段的描述可知，Ceely没在车上，所以有She watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.因此Ceely当时是“幸运逃脱”的，故C项正确。]

　　38．Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?

　　A．Modern technology is what we can't 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 Ceely's accident.

　　答案　B　[推理判断题。根据文章第三段的描述，我们可以知道：我们的数字仪器经常达不到工作的要求，所以，B项应为Rick Stevenson的态度。 ]

　　39.In the writer's opinion, Stevenson's argument is ________.

　　A．one­sidedB．reasonable

　　C．puzzlingD. well­based

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。根据第四段中的The problem with his argument in the book is that it's not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes.可知作者认为Stevenson的观点是片面的，所以A项正确。]

　　B

　　Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.

　　Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成)as human beings.

　　What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival.

　　Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.

　　Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for.

　　Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.

　　Exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在的)resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later.

　　Resources may be more than physical possessions.

　　Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives.

　　We have already benefited from other spin­offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non­stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by­products(副产品)of technological developments in the space industry!

　　While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us.

　　While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers.

　　The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive.

　　Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.

　　While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets.

　　It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.

　　【语篇解读】　人类为什么要进行太空探索？随着这一问题的提出，作者从人类天性的角度深入剖析了人类进行太空探索的动机以及从中获得的益处——太空探索可以帮助我们避免地球上潜在的一些问题。

　　40．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?

　　A．To express his doubts.

　　B．To compare different ideas.

　　C．To introduce points for discussion.

　　D．To describe the conditions on Earth.

　　答案　C　[ 推理判断题，是对作者写作目的和意图的推断。作者提出这些问题是为了引出下文要讨论的观点，故选C。 ]

　　41．What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?

　　A．Humans are nature­born to do so.

　　B．Humans have the tendency to fight.

　　C．Humans may find new sources of food.

　　D．Humans don't like to stay in the same place.

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。由第二段第一句话Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成)as human beings.和此段最后一句Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.可知A项正确。 ]

　　42.The underlined word “spin­offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to________.

　　A．survival chances B．potential resources

　　C．unexpected benefitsD．physical possessions

　　答案　C　[词义猜测题。由第四段中的We have already benefited from other spin­offs including improvements in earthquake prediction，in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. 可推出，此处spin­offs意为“意想不到的好处”。survival chances 生存机会；potential resources潜在的资源；unexpected benefits意想不到的好处；physical possessions物质财产。故选C。]

　　43.What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?

　　A．Our genetic makeup.

　　B．Resources on the earth.

　　C．The adaptive ability of humans.

　　D．By­products in space exploration.

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。由倒数第二段最后一句Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.和最后一段中的It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.可以得出人类的适应能力使得人类居住在其他星球成为可能。 ]

　　C

　　Researchers in Britain are driving the environmental movement to a whole new level. A team from the University of Warwick has built what it calls the world's first completely environmentally friendly Formula Three racing car.

　　The car is made mainly of sustainable and renewable materials, like plants and vegetables. The structure around the car is made from natural plant fibers and potatoes. The steering wheel is made from root vegetables like carrots. The engine uses biofuel made from vegetable oil and waste chocolate.

　　The new race car is extremely fast. The car has a top speed of two hundred fifteen kilometers an hour. And it can go from zero to ninety­five kilometers an hour in just two and one half seconds. The race car meets all of the Formula Three racing requirements except for its biodiesel(生质柴油) engine.

　　The car resulted from the efforts of the University of Warwick's Manufacturing Group and the Warwick Innovative Manufacturing Research Center. They developed the car because of criticism of the racing industry.

　　Automobile racing is one of the most widely watched sports in the world. But it also is considered one of the least friendly to the environment. Race cars burn a lot of fuel, and create a lot of air pollution.

　　In recent years, the racing industry has taken steps to protect the environment. More racing companies are now producing cars that use less energy. These cars produce less pollution than vehicles that depend on traditional fuels, like gasoline.

　　Last year, two American government agencies and an international organization announced a number of policies for environmentally­friendly racing. They are known as the Green Racing Protocols(协议)．

　　The two agencies are the United States Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency. The organization SAE International represents engineers and technical experts in the transportation industry. Officials from the American Le Mans Series also were involved in the effort.

　　The American Le Mans Series became the first racing event to use the protocols in its Green Challenge competition. The race was held in October of last year.

　　Last month, the World First Formula Three racing car was set to run in its first competitive race at the Formula Three Championship Final at Brands Hatch. It would have been the first biodiesel­powered car to race at Formula Three.

　　Current Formula Three rules let only gasoline­powered cars compete. Officials needed permission from all of the other Formula Three racers for the biodiesel World First car to compete. They were unable to contact one of the drivers, so the World First car was barred from the event.

　　In test runs, the World First car was the fifth fastest among Formula Three race cars. Supporters are hoping to have the fuel issue resolved in time to compete next season.

　　【语篇解读】　英国研究者使环境保护再上一个新台阶：最近他们研制出一款新型的节能环保赛车，这种赛车的速度丝毫不逊色于传统赛车。

　　44．Which of the following can be used to describe the new racing car?

　　A．Eco­friendly, energy­conserving, gasoline­powered.

　　B．Biodiesel­powered, fast, environmentally­friendly.

　　C．Fast, easily­damaged, intelligent.

　　D．Green, fast，cost­effective.

　　答案　B　[推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，这种新型的赛车靠生质柴油驱动，速度快且有利于环保。故选B项。]

　　45．The underlined word “barred”

　　in the passage can be replaced by “________” .

　　A．destroyedB．forbidden

　　C．savedD．excused

　　答案　B　[词义猜测题。根据所在的语境判断，如果这种赛车想要参赛必须得到其他所有参赛运动员的许可，而他们无法和其中的一名参赛选手取得联系，所以这辆车最终被禁止参赛。]

　　46．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．The new racing car was built by Britain and America jointly.

　　B．The new racing car is made completely from sustainable and renewable materials.

　　C．The Green Racing Protocols are aimed at reducing pollution.

　　D．The new racing car was the first biodiesel­powered car to race at Formula Three.

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据文章第六段和第七段的内容可知，这一协议旨在让赛车减少油耗以达到降低环境污染的目的。]

　　47．It is implied from the passage that________.

　　A．the new racing car is the world's first environmentally­friendly car

　　B．in the racing event the new racing car was ranked the fifth

　　C．the traditional racing industry is criticized for its damage done to the environment

　　D．officials from Formula Three have a preference for biodiesel­powered cars

　　答案　C　[ 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“They developed the car because of criticism of the racing industry，”可推断出传统的行业由于其对环境造成的破坏而备受指责。]

　　D

　　It is 7 o'clock in the morning. You check yourself in the mirror, adjust your collar, and consider the hectic day ahead. But at least you know that the stress won't damage your health, for this is no ordinary set of clothes you are wearing. Embedded within the fabric are numerous sensors, constantly monitoring your vital signs. If danger signs are detected, the garment is programmed to contact your doctor and send a text message telling you to take it easy.

　　Garments that can measure a wearer's body temperature or trace their heart activity are just entering the market, but the European project BICEX weaves new functions into smart textiles. Miniaturised biosensors in a textile patch can now analyse body fluids, even a tiny drop of sweat, and provide a much better assessment of someone' s health.

　　Jean Luprano, a researcher at the Swiss Centre for Electronics and Micro technology (CSEM), coordinates the BIOTEX project. “One of the most obvious applications for smart fabrics is in the medical field，” he says. “There has been a good deal of progress with physiological measurements, body temperature or electrocardiograms(心电图). But no one has yet developed biochemical sensing techniques that can take measurements from fluids like sweat and blood. We are developing a suite of sensors that can be integrated into a textile patch. The patch is a sensing and processing unit, adaptable to target different body fluids and biochemical species. At the very least, some basic biochemical analyses could complement the physiological measurements that can already be monitored. In some circumstances, fluidic analysis may be the only way to get information on a patient's health status.”

　　It is a service responsible for bringing some of the city's citizens around safely.But because of handing out some of its services to taxi operators，Wheel Trans left one senior patient out in the cold.

　　The Subway service was bringing 81­year­old Maxie Saldanha home Wednesday night，but the driver mistakenly dropped the elderly man off at 301 prudential Dr.，instead of at his intended destination at 101 Prudential Dr.

　　After the elderly rider was dropped at the wrong location，he wandered into a field and was found by a building manager Bill Raines nearly four hours later，shaking by a pond，suffering from cold and icy weather.“My heart stopped beating，”Raines explained.“Next thing I know，there he was...he wasn't moving？”

　　Saldanha's body temperature had dropped to 33 degrees Celsius，a dangerously low level compared to the healthy body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius.

　　The person who was responsible for safely transporting the elderly man was not a Subway driver and wasn't transporting him in a train car.Wheel Trans had sent a taxi to pick up Saldanha，Wheel Trans uses taxis about 50 percent of the time for its runs，a practice that has led to a number of problems.Using cabs costs the Subway system millions of dollars a year.

　　“This was the second incident within a month caused by the same taxi company.”the old man's daughter said.

　　The problems are due to the fact that cab drivers don't receive the training that Subway Operators get，and Wheel Trans General Manager Bob Thacker said this issue needs to be addressed.

　　52．Why was Saldanha left in the cold?

　　A．He was too ill and old to walk home.

　　B．The taxi driver lost the way.

　　C．The subway was out of service late at night.

　　D．An awful mistake was made.

　　答案　D　[本题为细节信息题。文章第二段the driver mistakenly dropped the elderly man off...这个司机把那位老人扔在了错误的地点。错解：A，B或C。错因分析：文章细节把握不准。]

　　53．What is the passage mainly about?

　　A．More training is needed for cab drivers.

　　B．Subway system spent too much on its operation.

　　C．A senior passenger was left out in the cold.

　　D．A building manager spent four hours helping a wounded man.

　　答案　C　[本题为细节信息题。第一段．..Wheel Trans left one senior patient out in the cold.点明了文章的主要事件。错解：A，B或D。错因分析：文章细节把握不准，理解不够透彻。]

　　54．Wheel Trans would probably________.

　　A．cancel taxi­delivering service

　　B．offer more training programs
