She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That39。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. Ceely39。s near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device. She had never driver 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 plete 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 Ceely39。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 it39。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 it39。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 signaling 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 doesn39。t say. It39。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 puterbased 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 it39。s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some bination of these factors. The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and plex. 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 shortings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just a. s long.(1)What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident?

A.Modern technology is what we can39。t live without.B.Digtal 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 Ceely39。s accident.(4)In the writer39。s opinion, Stevenson39。s argument is ________. A.onesidedB.reasonableC.puzzlingD.wellbased(5)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 shortings of digital devices we use.D.The relationship between humans and technology.【答案】 (1)D(2)C(3)B(4)A(5)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文,作者講述了一起交通事故,司機(jī)沒有看到火車路口導(dǎo)致了一起事故,司機(jī)卻將責(zé)任歸咎到自己的導(dǎo)航儀沒有路口提示上。引發(fā)作者對于人與科技的關(guān)系上的深思。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的Ceely39。s near miss made the news because she blamed it on he GPS(導(dǎo)航儀). 可知Ceely認(rèn)為事故發(fā)生的原因是GPS沒有指出那
