(2024·蘇錫常鎮四市二調，C)
Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These
satellitebased systems provide turnbyturn directions to help people get to where they want to
go. But they can also cause a lot of problems, sending 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 Brown, it is a combination of the two.
Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm, Sweden. The center studies
humancomputer 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 GPSequipped 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_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.”
Barry Brown says this goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational (導航) skills.
“The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS” lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.
Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.

(2024·河北省模擬)Sunstroke is a condition that can quickly go from dangerous to deadly, especially if proper care isn't given immediately.
Sunstroke, sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the body temperature rising above the safe limit. This causes the body's necessary functions to stop working.
It's usually pretty easy to avoid sunstroke, as long as proper
action is taken. In that case, you need to act as quickly as possible to return that person's body to a safe temperature. Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.
Call for help
Call to get an ambulance as quickly as possible. This should be the first thing you do, especially if the sunstroke person has fainted (昏倒). Also, call for help from anyone nearby if you're in a public place. If there's no one around, call someone nearby if they can get there sooner than an ambulance. Ask everyone to bring you as much water as possible, if there isn't much nearby.
Get the person to a cooler area
If there's a building nearby, aim for that. Anywhere with plenty of air conditioners and water is perfect. If a building isn't available, bring the person to a well-shaded area.
Get the water flowing
If the person is still conscious, get him or her to drink water. If there's a bathtub available, fill it with cool water and put the person in it.
If your water supply is limited, you have to save it. Dampen a towel or shirt and put it on the person's body. Focus on the face, neck, and chest.
Fan the person
Getting moving air over the person cools him or her down. Use anything, a towel or sheet, a shirt, your hands, or a piece of board. This is where having many people around really helps, as they can combine to fan the entire body.
1.When does a person get sunstroke?
A.When the body doesn't function.
B.When proper care is given immediately.
C.When someone is exposed to the sun too long.
D.When the body temperature goes up beyond what one can bear.
2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A.Call for assistance from others.
B.Leave the sunstroke person in the shade.
C.Put a wet towel on the person's face.
D.Help the person take some medicine.
3.What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A.The first aid for sunstroke.
B.The causes of sunstroke.
C.The chief symptoms of sunstroke.
D.The essential prevention of sunstroke.
4.The text probably comes from
a (n) ________.
A.guidebook B.book review
C.medical magazine
D.official document
1．解析：選D 細節理解題根據第二段的第一句“Sunstroke, sometimes called heatstroke, is a result of the body temperature rising above the safe limit.”可知當人體的體溫超過所能承受的安全極限時就會中暑即D項正確解析：選D 細節理解題根據Call for help下的“call for help from anyone”可知A項正確；根據Get the person to a cooler area中的第三句可知B項正確；根據Get the water flowing中的第二段的第二三句可知C項正確；D項在文章中沒有提到解析：選A 主旨大意題文章首先介紹了何為中暑以及中暑的危害結合第三段的最后一句“Here are a few tips to help treat sunstroke.”可知下文講述的是中暑時需要采取的急救措施即A項正確解析：選C 文章出處題文章主要介紹了中暑以及中暑后如何急救的相關知識故有可能選自一本醫學雜志即C項正確C
【2024高考訓練】閱讀下列短文, 從給的四個選項 (A、B、C和D) 中, 選出最佳選項。
A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(筆記本電腦)．
Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.
Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes“mindlessly”by taking down word for word what the professors said.
In the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper.They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills.Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.
The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand.However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts.Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.
The researchers' report said，“While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears.”
In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture.This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.
These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.
1．More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can________.
A．write more notesB．digest concepts better
C．get higher scoresD．understand lectures better
．While taking notes，laptop users tend to be________.
A．skillful

D．tireless

答案：
【語篇解讀】 本文是一篇說明文。本文揭示實驗研究的結果，用筆記本電腦記筆記的人記憶和應用概念的能力較差，而用手記筆記的人在考試中的表現更好。
．A 解析：細節理解題。根據第二段第一句“Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)”可知，學生越來越多地使用筆記本電腦記筆記是因為它的速度和清晰度，這說明用筆記本電腦記筆記速度快、記得多。故選A。
．B 解析：推理判斷題。根據第二段第二句“But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught”可知，研究已經發現筆記本電腦的使用者沒能記住和應用教給他們的概念。由此可推知，筆記本電腦的使用者在記筆記時是不動腦子的。故選B。
．B 解析：推理判斷題。本文通過實驗發現了用筆記本電腦記筆記的不良效果和用手記筆記的優勢，兩者相比突出了用手記筆記的好處。故選B。
．C 解析：推理判斷題。根據文章內容可知，本文揭示實驗研究的結果，用筆記本電腦記筆記的人記憶和應用概念的能力較差，而用手記筆記的人在考試中的表現更好。由此可推知，本文應該出現在科學雜志里。故選C。
