17．Cindy hopes to live a simple life       she can explore the world alone rather than rush to all classes and trainings．（　　）
A．whenB．whichC．thatD．where

分析 Cindy希望过一种简单的生活，在这种生活中她可以独自探索世界而不是急匆匆的去参加各类课程和培训．

解答 答案：D．
定语从句的先行词为a simple life，而从句中主谓宾齐全，缺少状语，就可以把关系代词排除，可知B和C不正确，先行词是life可以看作是地点名词，其后的定语从句缺少地点状语时，应该用where来引导定语从句．when在定语从句中作时间状语；live a simple life过一种简单的生活，故选D．

点评 本句考查非限制性定语从句，关系词的选择重点要弄明白其在从句中所充当的成分，然后结合先行词选择恰当的关系代词或者关系副词．

8．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 kilometre down the railway tracks．
Ceely's near miss made the news because she blamed it on he GPS （导航仪）．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 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 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 singalling 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．

2．James Dean came to Hollywood when he was eighteen，hoping to get into the movies．At first，he was not successful at all．Then he went to New York．He got a part in a play and was seen by the great director Elia Kazan．Kazan was planning the movie East of Eden and realized Dean would be perfect for one of the main roles．
    By this time，Dean had already had a reputation and was difficult to work with．He then went back to Hollywood to make East of Eden and then made two more movies，Rebel Without a Cause and Giant．He almost always wore the same overcoat and jeans and he had hardly any friends at all．"If he didn't like you，he wouldn't even give you the pleasure of his anger．You could be in the same telephone booth with him，but you wouldn't exist，"someone who knew him said later．
    In spite of his poor eyesight，he loved driving fast motorcycles and even faster sports cars．A few days after he finished Giant，on September 25，1955，Dean went for a drive in his new Porsche．It was evening and the light was poor．Dean was not wearing his glasses．Suddenly，he saw a car in front of him．It was slowing down and trying to turn off the highway．Dean tried to slow down too，but it was too late．He hit the car at high speed and was killed immediately．
    A few years later，a New York salesclerk wrote a book called Jimmy Dean Returns in which she claimed that she was in contact with Dean from the other side of the grave．Half a million copies of the book were sold．It was only the beginning of a strange legend（传奇） that goes on，even today．
