It will be the first area in the world to use the technology to punish drivers distracted (分心) with telephone calls, social media or text messages. Road Safety experts are concerned about the growing number of accidents involving drivers using smart phones on the state39。s roads. They say drivers who use phones while driving greatly increase their chances of being involved in an accident. The New South Wales government plans to place 45 Mobile Phone Detection Cameras across the state by December. Each phone detection unit contains two cameras. One camera takes pictures of a vehicle39。s registration plate (牌照). A second camera looks through the front window of a car or truck to see what drivers are doing with their hands. The units use artificial intelligence to set aside drivers who are not touching their phones. Human beings then confirm if the pictures show illegal behavior before notice is sent to the vehicle39。s registered owner. A violation (違反) carries fine of $232. Some cameras will be permanently set up on roadsides. Others will be moved, from time to time, around the state. Two fixed cameras took photographs of million vehicles as part of a sixmonth test earlier this year. The cameras took photos of more than 100,000 drivers with their hands on phones. One driver was using a phone and another electronic device, an Apple iPad, at the same time. Another driver had a passenger guide the vehicle while they both held phones, the state government said.(1)What is the real purpose to set up cameras in New South Wale? keep records of the accidents. promote the latest technology. find illegal behavior of the drivers. force drivers to focus more on driving.(2)What can we infer from the road safety experts? are main killers on the road. accidents result from drivers39。 using cellphones. are badly needed to ban using phones while driving. a smartphone while driving will cause an accident.(3)How does the phone detection unit function effectively? corrects the drivers39。 wrong behavior. has two cameras to record the plates. sends a notice to the legal diver autonomously. bines artificial intelligence with human39。s efforts.(4)What did a sixmonth test show? devices could help divers indeed. passenger helped operate the vehicles. drivers used electronic devices while driving. was mon to be busy with two wireless devices.【答案】 (1)D(2)C(3)D(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了澳大利亞新南威爾士州正在設(shè)置攝像頭,以減少開車時全神貫注于無線設(shè)備的人數(shù)。用這項技術(shù)懲罰那些因電話、社交媒體或短信分心的司機,將是世界上第一個。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段“New South Wales, Australia, is setting up cameras as part of an effort to reduce the number of people preoccupied with wireless devices while they drive. It will be the first area in the world to use the technology to punish drivers distracted (分心) with telephone calls, social media or text messages.”澳大利亞新南威爾士州正在設(shè)置攝像頭,以減少開車時全神貫注于無線設(shè)備的人數(shù)。用這項技術(shù)懲罰那些因電話、社交媒體或短信分心的司機,將是世界上第一個。所以判斷出,新南威爾士設(shè)置攝像頭的真正目的是迫使司機更專注于駕駛。故選D。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Road Safety experts are concerned about the growing number of accidents involving drivers using smart phones on the state39。s roads. They say drivers who use phones while driving greatly increase their chances of being involved in an accident.”可知道路安全專家對越來越多的司機在州內(nèi)道路上使用智能手機的事故表示關(guān)注。他們說,司機在開車時使用手機,大大增加了發(fā)生事故的可能性。所以判斷出,道路安全專家認(rèn)為急需采取措施禁止開車時使用手機。故選C。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“The units use artificial intelligence to set aside drivers who are not touching their phones. Human beings then confirm if the pictures show illegal behavior before notice is sent to the vehicle39。s registered owner.”可知這些裝置使用人工智能技術(shù),將不接觸手機的司機隔離開來。然后,在通知車主之前,由人類確認(rèn)照片上是否有違法行為。因此,手機檢測裝置是把人工智能和人類的努力結(jié)合起來。故選D。 (4)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Two fixed cameras took photographs of million vehicles as part of a six﹣month test earlier this year. The cameras took photos of more than 100,000 drivers with their hands on phones.”可知今年早些時候,作為為期6個月的測試的一部分,兩個固定攝像頭拍攝了850萬輛汽車的照片。這些攝像頭拍攝了10萬多名駕駛員的手拿著手機的照片。 所以,六個月的測試顯示了許多司機在開車時使用電子設(shè)備。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇科技類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。5.閱讀理解 “Years ago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remembered someone ing up to the canyon39。s edge, taking a shot with a camera and then walking away, like 39。got it – done39。, barely even glancing at the magnificent scene in front of him,” Linda Henkel, a scientist at Fairfield University, US told Live Science. Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (癡迷的) people are with taking pictures these days before dinner, during friends39。 birthday parties, on museum tours and so on. They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel39。s latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian. In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and photograph 15 others. The next day the students39。 memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them. 39。39。When people rely on technology to remember them — counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained. But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (鏡頭) on a specific area could even recall parts that weren39。t in the frame. So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldn39。t reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it. “In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them,” Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren39。t usually very organized on their puters.(1)Why did the author mention Henkel39。s trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning?
