7.day—days

8.fly—flew

10.better—more

1.after—since 考查固定句式,自从…以来已经很长时间了。

2.them—us 考查人称代词。根据第一句“we are now back home”可知,这里指代的是“我们”

3.for—with 考查固定搭配。provide sb with sth= provide sth for sb给某人提供某物,故把for改为with

4.hich- where 考查非限制性定语从句。we stayed for three days不缺少成分,先行词是Washington D.C.,表示地点,故把which改为where。

9.trip 前加a 考查固定短语。make a trip to sp到某地旅行,故填在trip前加a。

10.better—more 查固定短语。more than在此意为“很,非常”,后跟形容词、非常原级,故把happier改为happy。

考点:短文改错。

My wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didn’t know. How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking.?

Before the bus takes off, we all join in a conversation: where’s the silent woman who sits up front and never responds to our cheery greetings? Here she comes. Her worn clothing suggests she doesn’t have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.

We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand. When they get off, they’re still holding hands. The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of shape confirmed that she’d delivered the child. We even felt a little pride at the thought of our extended family.

For many months, our only sadness lay in our inability to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus. Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone. It was the woman from the bus.?

We greeted her with friendly familiarity we’d shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile. When she spoke, the words escaped awkwardly from her lips. All at once we realized why she hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.?

Over dinner; we learned the stay of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home. She missed him desperately, she explained.?

“I love him… and he loves me, even though he doesn’t express it very well,” she murmured. “Lots of us have that problem, don’t we? We don’t say what we want to say, what we should be saying. And that’s not good enough.”?

The candles flared on our tables. Our fish had never tasted better. But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we parted as friends—we shared names.

When Dave was eighteen, he bought a secondhand car for 200 so that he could travel to and from work more than by bus. It worked quite well for a few years, but then it got so old, and it was costing him much in repairs that he decided that he had better it.

He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly to buy a cheap car, but they all knew that it was falling to pieces, so of them had any desire to buy it. Dave's friend Sam saw that he was when they met one evening, and said, “What's , Dave?”

Dave told him, and Sam answered, “Well, what about advertising it in the paper? You may more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam's was sensible(合理的), he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which read “For sale: small car, very little petrol, only two owners. Bargain at 50.”

For two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no . But then on Saturday evening he had an

enquiry(询问). A man rang up and said he would like to him about the car. “All right,” Dave said, feeling happy. He asked the man whether ten o'clock the next morning would be or not. “Fine,” the man said, “and I'll my wife. We intend to go for a ride in it to it.”

The next morning, at a quarter to ten, Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door, to wait there for the people who had his advertisement. Even Dave had to that the car really looked like a wreck(残骸).Then, soon after he had got the car as clean it could be, a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out.

One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path. That’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 kilometer down the railway tracks.

Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on the GPS. She had never driven 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 complete trust in the device(设备)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 Ceely’s story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital(数码)devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to the job. They are filled with small problems. And it’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 it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes. A map-maker 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 doesn’t say.

It’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 computer-based 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 it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.

The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. 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 shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.

1.The phrase “near miss” (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by______.

A. close hit B. heavy loss C. narrow escape D. big mistake

2.Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?

A. Modern technology is what we can’t live without.

B. Digital 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 Ceely’s accident.

3.In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is _______.

A. one-sided B. reasonable C. puzzling D. well-based

4.What is the real concern of the writer of this article?

A. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.

B. The relationship between human and technology.

C. The shortcomings of digital devices we use.

D. The human unawareness of technical problems.
