The center studies human-computer interaction, or HCI, especially communications involving wireless devices. We spoke to Mr Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they had put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of “garbage in 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 garbage out”. Mr Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One problem with many GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it’s going to the wrong place.” Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” Barry Brown: “One of the things that struck us, perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what you’re doing when you use a GPS. There are these new skills that people have developed. There are these new competencies that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimes go wrong.” 2. What is the implication of the underlined part? A. GPS is just a garbage device. B. GPS will not correct human errors. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 C. GPS adjusts your wrong destination. D. GPS is just as smart as human beings. 3. Which is NOT mentioned as a GPS shortcoming in the passage? A. Small screen. B. Timing of commands. C. Outdated maps. D. Dear cameras GPS uses. 4. According to the passage, people commonly believe that _____. A. you have to know where to go when using GPS B. you need to have new competencies to use GPS well C. GPS is proper for drivers with little sense of direction D. GPS is fit for people having good understanding of maps 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 解析定位排除。 【押题 2】 Nap，doze，shut-eye and snooze are all expressions we use to describe that mysterious state， 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 sleep. We all do it，we can't get by without it and by the time we reach old age， most of us have spent 20 years sleeping: Yet，nobody knows why we do it． Most scientists think that by resting our bodies，we allow time for essential maintenance（维 护）work to be done‘Any damage that there is can be put right more quickly if energy isn't being used up doing other things‘Injured animals certainly spend more time asleep than usual while their wounds are healing（愈合）．And quite a few illnesses make us feel sleepy so our body can get on with curing us． Sleep is controlled by certain chemicals. They build up during the day， eventually reaching levels that make us tired. We can control the effects of these chemicals to some extent．For example，caffeine helps to keep us awake while alcohol and some medicines make us sleepy. By using electrodes，scientists are able to study what goes on in people's heads while they are sleeping. They have discovered that when we first drop off everything slows down. The heart beats more slowly and our breathing becomes shallow．After about 90 minutes our eyes start to twitch and we go into what is called REM sleep．REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement， and it's a sign that we've started to dream. You have dreams every night，even if you don't remember them. There are all sorts of theories about why we dream. One is that it gives the brain a chance to sort out 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 the day's activities，filling everything away in the right place. Another is that the brain gets bored while we're asleep and organizes its own entertainment-a sort of late-night cinema！ A lot of people say they have to have eight hours’sleep every night while others seem to manage on a lot less. One thing is for sure，we all need some sleep and going without it can have some very strange effects. An American DJ，who stayed awake for 200 hours to raise money for charity，thought things were bursting into flames all around him after 120 hours without sleep． He survived the strange horrible period of time but was depressed for three months afterwards． Humans are unusual in the way they sleep．Most animals have a sleep during the day and tests have shown that a siesta can be beneficial for us too．It's even been recommended that airline pilots should have a nap during long flight s so that they are more alert （警觉的）for the tricky business of landing. So next time you nod off after Sunday lunch in front of the TV，don't feel embarrassed about it．Science，after all，is on your side． 63．The passage is probably from a A. lab report B. research paper C. science story D. drug instruction 64. When we are sleeping， ． A. our heart beats more slowly B. our body chemicals become fully controllable 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 C. our brain begins to show movies D. our wound begins to heal 65.

Outdoor adventure is often just a few stops on the train - or a short drive- away from the annoying crowds. Here are a few favorites to get you going: Mount Hollywood Trail, Los Angeles It's not a skyscraper or a Ferris wheel, and there's no expensive restaurant up top. But if you want an absolutely unforgettable, no-admission-charged, 360-degree view of the entire Los Angeles region, it's yours. All you have to do is walk a little. One of the preferred exercise routes, the Mount Hollywood Trail, is easily accessed from the parking lot of the famous Griffith Observatory; you see what you get at the end of this steep 1.5-mile trail, which winds its way through the Griffith Park wilds up to the mountain's 1,640-foot peak. Bronx River, New York 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 10 It may not be on your Top 10 list of things to do when you finally get to the Big Apple, but exploring the almost-secret river that flows through one of New York's most mysterious boroughs (自治市) is an unforgettable experience. The Bronx River Alliance, a non-profit group that has worked tirelessly to bring the much-abused river back to life , operates cycling and canoeing trips along the river, from the rugged Hunts Point section down near the harbor on up through the borough. Southern Islands, Singapore Believe it or not, tightly packed Singapore does have plenty of open space left. There are actual trails right in the middle of everything, if you know where to look. But to really get away from it all, the Southern Islands, a small group of little green dots just off the city-state's southern shoreline, are just the thing. Lee Valley, London This East London river valley changed last summer, when anyone near a television got an eyeful of Olympic Park, built directly in the middle of the valley. Inside the park, beautifully landscaped sections quickly became a favorite relaxation spot for games goers. At present, you'll find miles of walking paths worth exploring. Start at the Waltham Cross train and follow the signposted walking route southbound, guiding you past important historic industrial areas, through interesting city neighborhoods, past the western side of Olympic Park and on to the Thames. 60.

Most students still need that one-on-one, teacher-student relation-ship to learn and to succeed. Teenagers need instruction in English, math and history, but they also want personal advice and encouragement. Kids talk with me about their families, their weekend plans, their favorite TV shows and their relationship problems. This personal connection is the necessary link between teachers and students that no amount of technology can improve upon or replace. A few years ago, I had a student who was struggling with my class and with school in general. Although he was a humorous young man who liked to joke around, I knew his family life was far from ideal (理想的). Whenever I approached him about missing 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 12 homework or low test grades, he always had the same reply, “It doesn’t matter because I’m quitting school anyway.” Even though he always said this in a half joking way, I knew he needed to hear my different opinion and my value of a high school education” lecture. He needed to hear this speech from me. After he left my class, he struggled through the next two years of school. But, he did finally graduate because we kept telling him to hang in there (坚持下去). We’d cared about his finishing school. Recently, I saw this former student working at a local Italian restaurant. I told him again how proud I was of him. He said that he was hoping to go back to school to become a certified electrician (注册电气技师). I encouraged him to get that training. Students rely on sympathetic teachers to guide, to tutor, to listen, to laugh and to cry with them. Teachers provide the most important link in the educational process - the human one. 64.

Never, it seems． I read that two million young adults are still stealing the last bread from their parents' kitchen．And some are not even that young: around 500,000 are great middle-aged between 35 and 44． Clearly the challenge of the next decade will be to rethink intergeneradonal living．The essential part of Lord Mandy's brochure, aimed at parents unexpectedly burdened with jobless young adults, says that their lack of independence is proof of our failure．"If you are making life too comfortable at home, why would they get a job?" asks Lord Mandy．Our little kings will never earn money by themselves while we treat them to an Ocado delivery, full laundry service and surround-sound TV．We have created a dependency （依赖） culture right here under our own roofs, he says．I couldn't agree more． Besides, although the cause of so many young adults depending on parents may be the recession （经济衰退）, it is also the by-product of higher education policy．If we want 50 percent of kids to go to college, there will never be enough room to put them in．Already a fifth of students complete the degrees living at home．Why would they move out when newly unemployed? Whatever the reasons are, young adults should make a living on their own．Anyway, we should not just become hotel parents for our adult children, which might make it less possible for them to stand on their own feet． 67．Through the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1, the author tries to show us ____． 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 15 A．how difficult it is to raise the baby B．small babies need to sleep a lot C．how tiring it is to look after adult children D．adults are unwilling to go to bed 68．According to Lord Mandy, what leads to adult children's living under the parents' roof?

Now it has come true. The investment (投资) in higher education, whether financial or in terms of time, has long been impossible for many of them. But well-known educational institutions have chosen to deliver an internet-based program, and these barriers have been lifted. That is good news for people eager to improve themselves and is more attractive to employers. It is also a benefit to industry with better qualified candidates applying for jobs at every level. Having the benefits of a higher qualification without going to the university campus is attractive to many students. Campus study means greater cost, while online programs are flexible and save time, whether at home or at work. Students can achieve their degrees without causing too much disruption to their career or home life In addition to affordable, flexible classes and greater convenience, students also have access to the online learning resources of many of the world’s top educational institutions. They can also communicate with their tutors no matter what time it is or whether either party is away for any reason. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 17 This has opened up the possibility of getting a qualification from a university or college that many students could only have dreamed of in the past. It also allows specialists to get the precise qualifications and focus on their studies.

Employers have become increasingly welcome and positive to online qualifications as more candidates earn them, especially if they’re properly approved by the US Department of Education.
