12、s.These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go.But,they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost.Many times,the driver is to blame.Sometimes a GPS error is responsible.Most often,says Barry

13、 Brown,an expert in human-computer interaction,it is a combination of the two.We spoke to Mr Brown by Skype (网络电话软件).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 t

14、hey just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination.And,then it wasnt until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived.They actually put their home address ia So again,the GPS is kind of garbage

15、in 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 a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn.Because

16、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 its going to the wrong place.”Barry Brown once worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh.The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on

17、 driving by placing cameras in peoples cars.They wrote a paper based on their research.It is called “The Normal,Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS”.It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers.These include maps that are outdated,incorrect or difficult to understand.The

31、bank statement sent to him.CGrey clouds move as low as smoke over the treetops at Lolo Pass.The ground is white.The day is June 10.It has been snowing for the past four days in the Bitterroot Mountains.Wayne Fairchild is getting worried about our trek over the Lolo Trail-95 miles from Lolo Montana t

32、o Weippe in Idaho,across the roughest country in the West.Lewis and Clark were nearly defeated 200 years ago by snowstorms on the Lolo.Today Fairchild is nervously checking the weather reports.He has agreed to take me across the toughest,middle section of the trail.When Lewis climbed on top of Lemhi

33、 Pass,140 miles south of Missoula,on Aug.12,1805,he was astonished by what was in front of him;“high mountain chains still to the West of us with their tops partially covered with snow.”Nobody in what was then the US knew the Rocky Mountains existed,with peaks twice as high as anything in the Appala

34、chians back East.Today their pathway through those mountains holds more attraction than any other ground over which they traveled,for its raw wilderness is an evidence to the character of two cultures:the explorers who braved its hardships and the Native Americans who prize and conserve the path as

35、a sacred (神圣的)gift.It remains today the same condition as when Lewis and Clark walked it.The Lolo is passable only from July to mid-September.Our luck is holding with the weather,although the snow keeps getting deeper.As we climb to Indian Post Office,the highest point on the trail at 7,033 ft,we ha

36、ve covered 13 miles in soft snow,and we hardly have enough energy to make dinner.After a meal of chicken,I sit on a rock on top of the ridge (山脊）.There is no light visible in any direction,not even another campfire.For four days we do not see another human being.We are occupied with the things that

37、mix fear with joy.In our imagination we have finally caught up with Lewis and Clark.28.We learn from the text that before 1805 .A.The Rocky Mountains were wholly covered with snowB.there were no people living in the western part of AmericaC.no Americans knew of the existence of the Rocky MountainsD.

38、the Appalachians were the western frontier of the United States29.We learn from the text that the Lolo Pass .A.has changed a lot since 1805B.is the meeting point of three culturesC.remains much the same as it was 200 years agoD.now attracts a large number of tourists to visit30.Judging from the text

39、,Lewis and Clark were most probably .A.two native IndiansB.explorers of the early 19th centuryC.merchants who did business with the IndiansD.travelers whose curiosity took them over the Lolo Pass31.We can infer from the text that when crossing the Lolo Pass the author .A.was attempting the impossibl

40、eB.was trying to set a world recordC.was following the trail of Lewis and ClarkD.was fighting with weather and taking unnecessary risksDIs any economist so dull as to criticise Christmas? At first glance,the holiday season in western economies seems a treat for those concerned with such vagaries (奇想

41、）as GDP growth.After all,everyone is spending;in America,retailers make 25% of their yearly sales and 60% of their profits between Thanksgiving and Christmas.Even so,economiwsts find something to worry about in the nature of the purchases being made.Much of the holiday spending is on gifts for other

42、s.At the simplest level,giving gifts involves the giver thinking of something that the recipient would like-he tries to guess her preferences,as economists say-and then buying the gift and delivering it.Yet this guessing of preferences is not easy;indeed,it is often done badly.Every year,ties go unw

43、orn and books unread.And even if a gift is enjoyed,it may not be what the recipient would have bought if they had spent the money themselves.Interested in this mismatch between wants and gifts,in 1993 Joel Waldfogel,then an economist at Yale University,sought to estimate the difference in dollar ter

44、ms.In a research,he asked students two questions at the end of a holiday season:first,estimate the total amount paid (by the givers) for all the holiday gifts you received;second,apart from the sentimental value of the items,if you did not have them,how much would you be willing to pay to get them?

45、His results were gloomy:on average,a gift was valued by the recipient well below the price paid by the giver.In addition,recipients may not know their own preferences very well.Some of the best gifts,after all,are unexpected items that you would never have thought of buying,but which turn out to be

46、especially well picked.And preference can change.So by giving a jazz CD,for example,the giver may be encouraging the recipient to enjoy something that was ignored before.This,a desire to build skills,is possibly the hope held by many parents who ignore their childrens desires for video games and buy

47、 them books instead.Finally,there are items that a recipient would like to receive but not purchase.If someone else buys them,however,they can be enjoyed guilt-free.This might explain the high volume of chocolate that changes over the holidays.Thus,the lesson for gift-givers is that you should try h

48、ard to guess the preference of each person on your list and then choose a gift that will have a high sentimental value.32.The word “sentimental” in Paragraph 3 is close to “ ”A.intelligent B.emotional C.social D.practical33.According to the text,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Price is n

49、othing but the factor when you give gifts.B.Chocolates will be blamed when people receive them as gifts.C.The receivers often overestimate the values of gifts.D.Wants do not always correspond to needs in gift-giving.34.Which of the following statements can be inferred from the text?A.The gift-giver

50、tries to neglect the actual needs of the receiver.B.The best gifts are well picked by the givers.C.In gift-giving,guessing preference is often a failure,so its the thought that counts.D.You have to take money into consideration when giving a gift.35.The text is most likely taken from a .A.users hand

52、they can help you chip away at the cost of tickets. 36 .Buy tickets online.Never ever pay the walk-up ticket price at a theme park. 37 .Youre guaranteed to save a significant sum-sometimes as much as $ 20 per ticket-even for same-day tickets.

53、na Park,California,slices off $25 per ticket when you make your purchase at least three days ahead. 39 .This one is a universal no-brainer.Single-day ticket prices at Cedar Point in Sandusky,Ohio,are about 30 percent less than admission on Saturdays and Sundays.But the big bonus is that lines will b
