21、   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 kilometer down the railway tracks.

Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device. 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 limitation 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 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 device. 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 technologies 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 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 shortcoming 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 Parla 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.Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing. D.The railway workers failed to give the signal.

【2】Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?

A.Modern technology is what we can’t live without.

B.GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident.

C.Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.

D.Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.

【3】In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is _____.

A.one-sided B.reasonable C.puzzling D.well-based

【4】What is the real concern of the writer of this article?

A.The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.

B.The human unawareness of technical problems.

C.The shortcomings of digital devices we use.

D.The relationship between humans and technology.

22、   Starting in the late 1980s, the plastics industry spent tens of millions of dollars encouraging recycling through advertisements and recycling projects, telling people plastics could be recycled. But their own internal records showed that industry officials long knew that plastic recycling on a large scale came with high costs but poor results.

A report sent to top industry directors in April 1973 said that plastic recycling was not as easy as people thought and sorting plastics was impractical. Another document a year later showed that there was serious doubt widespread that plastic recycling could get profits on an economic basis.

Despite this, three former top officials said the industry supports recycling as a way to beat back a growing trend of stopping using plastics in the 1980s. “The plastics industry isunder fire, but we want to continue to make plastic products,” Thomas, an official from a company making plastics says, “If the public think the recycling is working, then they’re not going to be so worried about the environment.”

“The public gradually doubt the idea that the plastics industry could do a satisfying job in dealing with plastics and protecting the environment. But now we have already funded new technologies to change this situation. We don’t want to see the pollution of the environment either and are willing to solve this problem,” says Jim Becker, vice president of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company.

However, the more plastics are recycled, the less money the industry will make. And the industry now produces many more different and complex kinds of plastics that are more costly to sort and in many cases can’t be recycled at all. Efforts to reduce the use of plastics are increasing worldwide, but any plan to slow the growth of plastics will cause the whole industry to lose billions of dollars in the future.

【1】According to the passage, the plastics industry         .

A．tried to teach people to sort plastic products

B．knew that plastic recycling will bring good results

C．thought environmental problems are easy to deal with

D．encouraged the public to recycle plastics for more sales

【2】The underlined phrase “under fire” in Paragraph 3 most probably means         .

A．criticized severely

B．increasingly popular

C．growing fast

D．declining rapidly

【3】What can be learned from Becker’s words?

A．He encourages people to buy high-tech plastic products.

B．The plastics industry is highly thought of for its devotion.

C．He has convinced the public of the plastics industry’s efforts.

D．The plastics industry starts taking on more social responsibilities.

【4】What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．Reducing plastics production has become a new trend.

B．Changes in plastics increase the difficulty of recycling.

C．Plastic recycling puts the plastics industry in a dilemma.

D．The plastics industry spends more improving the quality of plastics.

23、Have you ever had one of those days when all you wanted to do was read an emotionally powerful story that would cause you to tears? Most of us tend to be attracted by stories that reach us on multiple levels, including sadness. There are plenty of books that make you cry (and sometimes laugh) and that you can really sink your teeth into. Here are four of them.

1. The Kite Runner

This realistic and moving description of life in Afghanistan accounts for the people who were badly affected by the Taliban. You’ll cry as you get to know the familial relationships and cruelty involved, but you’ll also get a sense of hope as you quickly read through this appealing novel.

2. The Book Thief

Let’s put it this way: Death itself is the narrator. The story is about a young girl named Liesel who has to live with foster parents during World War II. On the way to her new home, her brother dies, setting the gloomy tone for the story. There is hope, however, when Liesel discovers her love for reading and makes a relationship with a young Jewish man she helps hide from the Nazis.

3. The Fault in Our Stars

This is probably the most likely book on the list to make you cry, as it records the experiences of teens who are dying from cancer and living their last days in love. Their lifestyle is tragic and disturbing at the same time, as we watch their health worsen. The real tragedy is the love story between the main characters, who know that their romance is fruitless.

4. A Child Called “It”

Easily one of the saddest stories of abuse in recent decades, A Child Called It is based on the true story of Dave Pelzer, a boy from California who suffered at the hands of his cruel family. The tears will come from both sadness and the inspiration tied to Dave’s fight for survival in an environment where he is believed worthless.

【1】What do the four books have in common?

A. They are all about cruel wars.

B. They all probably make you cry.

C. They are all about suffering children.

D. They are all adapted from true stories.

【2】Which book is about a young victim whose family treated him cruelly?

A. The Kite Runner   B. A Child Called “It”

C. The Fault in Our Stars   D. The Book Thief

【3】The passage is intended to __________.

A. advise us to buy some books   B. inspire us to read more

C. explain why we love reading   D. introduce some moving books

24、Dreams come true through actions, and the best action is to set and achieve goals. Realizing your goals is important. As you realize your goals, you will find relief from many problems that seem to trouble you. 【1】 With the following of plans and actions come achievements, success, and accomplishments.

Self-realization is an understanding of your direction in life. If you understand your direction, you will see what you must do to achieve your goals. 【2】 This action of achievement makes you feel satisfied and complete. Even if only for a few hours, it still feels good.

【3】 If a person doesn’t have goals, he often feels a lack of purposes, wondering what the purpose of life is. The real meaning of life is growth. When something is growing, it is alive. For us humans we stop physically growing around the age of 21, so after that milestone we can only continue to grow mentally, spiritually, and psychologically. 【4】 Having a purpose in life provides principles, ideas, motivation and a reason to live. If you have a purpose, you will feel competent and confident. This takes you to your goals since you focus on your objective in life.

【5】 For instance, a short-term goal is to walk around the block without stopping, then to run around the block without stopping, and then to increase the distance every time a goal is reached until the final goal of running a marathon is accomplished. If you start by trying to run the marathon, you will fail, but by starting with smaller goals, you will succeed.

A．Goals are an essential part of life.

B．When you reach a goal, you get realization.

C．The realization of self will bring you satisfaction.

D．But first you must set a goal, and then plans and actions will follow.

E．As for the long-term goals, they are what will determine your life.

F．To keep growing we must have a purpose, whether we invent one or discover one.

G．The most important way to realize your goals is to set up short-term goals that work toward long-term goals.
