專項(xiàng)提能計(jì)劃專項(xiàng)提能計(jì)劃閱讀理解（四）閱讀理解（四）(2011高考浙江卷高考浙江卷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.Thats 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.Ceelys near_miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device (導(dǎo)航儀導(dǎo)航儀)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 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 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 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 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 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.41What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?AShe was not familiar with the road.BIt was dark and raining heavily then.CThe railway workers failed to give the signal.DHer GPS device didnt tell her about the crossing.D42The phrase“near miss” (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by_.Aclose hitBheavy lossCnarrow escapeDbig mistakeC43Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?AModern technology is what we cant live without.BDigital technology often falls short of our expectation.BCDigital devices are more reliable than they used to be.DGPS error is not the only cause for Ceelys accident.44In the writers opinion，Stevensons argument is_.Aonesided Breasonable Cpuzzling DwellbasedA45What is the real concern of the writer of this article?AThe major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.BThe relationship between humans and technology.BCThe shortcomings of digital devices we use.DThe human unawareness of technical problems.破題思路破題思路隨著時(shí)代的發(fā)展，科技越來(lái)越先進(jìn)，隨著時(shí)代的發(fā)展，科技越來(lái)越先進(jìn)，人類也越來(lái)越依賴科技，但有時(shí)候科人類也越來(lái)越依賴科技，但有時(shí)候科技也會(huì)給人們帶來(lái)麻煩，文章中作者技也會(huì)給人們帶來(lái)麻煩，文章中作者將會(huì)告訴我們什么呢？讓我們?nèi)チ私鈱?huì)告訴我們什么呢？讓我們?nèi)チ私庖幌掳?！一下吧！疑難剖析疑難剖析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.(Paragraph 4)該句使用了該句使用了that引導(dǎo)的表語(yǔ)從句，從引導(dǎo)的表語(yǔ)從句，從句中又使用了句中又使用了why引導(dǎo)的主語(yǔ)從句。引導(dǎo)的主語(yǔ)從句。句意：他在書(shū)中爭(zhēng)論的問(wèn)題是不清楚句意：他在書(shū)中爭(zhēng)論的問(wèn)題是不清楚他為什么只是關(guān)注數(shù)碼技術(shù)，而這些他為什么只是關(guān)注數(shù)碼技術(shù)，而這些技術(shù)也有可能成為造成事故的原因。技術(shù)也有可能成為造成事故的原因。名師支招名師支招在高考閱讀理解題中，有時(shí)為了增加在高考閱讀理解題中，有時(shí)為了增加試題的區(qū)分度，命題者常常會(huì)選擇一試題的區(qū)分度，命題者常常會(huì)選擇一些看似合理的句子作為干擾項(xiàng)，這時(shí)些看似合理的句子作為干擾項(xiàng)，這時(shí)考生可依據(jù)文章提供的信息并結(jié)合常考生可依據(jù)文章提供的信息并結(jié)合常識(shí)對(duì)干擾項(xiàng)進(jìn)行排除。識(shí)對(duì)干擾項(xiàng)進(jìn)行排除。比如第比如第41題，根據(jù)第二段最后一句話題，根據(jù)第二段最后一句話可得出答案。可得出答案。A項(xiàng)有很大的迷惑性，項(xiàng)有很大的迷惑性，但是我們仔細(xì)想一下，既然使用但是我們仔細(xì)想一下，既然使用GPS,說(shuō)明她本來(lái)就對(duì)路線不熟，才會(huì)借助說(shuō)明她本來(lái)就對(duì)路線不熟，才會(huì)借助高科技。本題答案為高科技。本題答案為D項(xiàng)，正是由于項(xiàng)，正是由于GPS沒(méi)有告訴她沒(méi)有告訴她“前方有交叉口前方有交叉口”這一這一信息，才導(dǎo)致了這一事故。信息，才導(dǎo)致了這一事故。
