27、bal Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. 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, sending you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times,

28、 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 human-computer interaction, or HCI, especially communications involving wireless devices. W

29、e 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 w

30、asnt 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 mak

31、es 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 givin

32、g you the overview that you would need to know that its 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 d

33、evices on 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.” Barry Brown: “One of the things that struck us, perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what youre doing when you use

34、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(dǎo)航) skills

35、. “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

36、 systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.51. What is the best title for this passage?A. Is GPS system reliable to use?B. What is the use of GPS?C. How to make the most of GPS? D. Blame! GPS or Passengers?52. What is the implication of th

37、e underlined part? A. GPS is just a garbage device.B. GPS will not correct human errors. C. GPS adjusts your wrong destination. D. GPS is just as smart as human beings.53. Which is NOT mentioned as a GPS shortcoming in the passage?A. Small screen. B. Timing of commands.C. Outdated maps.D. Dear camer

38、as GPS uses.54. 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 wellC. GPS is proper for drivers with little sense of direction D. GPS is fit for people having good understanding of maps B The ea

39、rly lack of exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) can be harmful to achieving gender (性別）balance in these fields. It begins when we are young and continues throughout our time in high school.While at home, girls generally dont get to experience the level of exposure or

40、encouragement in STEM fields that their male counterparts do. It is often subtle, but its the first hurdle that faces and confuses so many women. Boys, on the other hand, get on their path, and are encouraged to do so, generally earlier than girls. For example, boys are more often given science sets

41、 as toys, which spark an interest in these subjects. In school, boys are often pushed to take the more challenging math and science classes. So if we want to attract the best and brightest minds into the fields that will advance us as a people, a country，and a planet，we can no longer look to only ha

42、lf of the population. Young girls cannot possibly consider opportunities they do not know exist. If girls are not exposed to certain subject and career paths, they are highly unlikely to choose to follow them in college.Our bias(偏見)toward girls, either from families or from schools, is so rooted in

43、our culture that we often dont even recognize it. Although the situation has changed greatly in the past 20 or 30 years, there is still a sense that girls arent as good at math, for instance, even though there is almost no evidence to support such a belief. It is important that as a society we deal

44、with gender stereotypes long before young people are faced with a decision to declare or choose a major in college. Without making efforts to break them, we are limiting the potentials of our youth, both male and female. Providing the necessary resources, exposure, and encouragement would help young

45、 women understand that their gender shouldnt determine the career path they choose, and that pursuing a STEM career does not make them less feminine.55. According to the passage, not many girls grow to enter STEM fields because_.A.girls are not as good at STEM as boysB.girls do not like to take scie

46、nce classesC.girls get fewer chances to know about STEMD.girls seldom survive the high pressure positions56. The underlined word “it” in Para. 4 refers to_A.our bias B. our culture C. the situation D. a sense57 .The main purpose of the passage is to_.A.show womens potentials in STEM fieldsB.praise w

47、omens contributions to STEM fieldsC.describe the present gender bias in STEM fieldsD.call for more involvement of women in STEM fields58. which of the following shows the structure of the passage?第四部分 單詞拼寫 (共10小題) 1.

51、igrants. People are called immigrants when they move to a foreign country to make their homes.People become immigrants for many reasons. The most common one is economic opportunities. Most immigrants are attracted to other countries by the promise of jobs, farmland, or business opportunities.Other p

52、eople become immigrants in order to get away from mistreatment or natural disasters. They are refugees (難民). Some refugees move to avoid wars and political unrest.

53、t.Some people have become immigrants against their will. Captured in Africa, shipped to foreign lands and forced to work as slaves, many early African immigrants to North and South America came in chains.Except for Native Americans, all people came to the United States from someplace else. For nearl

54、y 500 years, immigrants have landed on Americas shores seeking a better life. Throughout American history, immigrants often worked low-paying, dangerous jobs that other people refused to do. Immigrants from around the world helped shape American life. Many immigrants absorbed the customs and languag

55、e common to most Americans. They also brought their own traditions, including music and foods. Over time, many of these traditions have become part of American life.The first European immigrants to America hoped to colonize (使成為殖民地) new lands. By the mid-1500s, Spaniards had ventured into Florida, California, and the American S
