2019-2020年高考英语四月完形填空、阅读理解课外练习（8）阅读理解(xx山东实验中学一模)Global Positioning Systems (全球定位系统) 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.However，they can also cause a lot of problems，send you to the wrong place or leave you pletely lost.Many times，the driver is to blame.Sometimes a GPS error is responsible.Most often，says Barry Brown，it is a bination of the two.Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm，Sweden.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.Mr Brown says，“They 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 in.So again，the GPS is kind of garbage in garbage out”Mr Brown says this is a mon human error，but what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortings，or failures，of GPS equipment.He says，“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 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.”Mr Brown says，“One of the things that struck us，perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what youre doing when you use a GPS.There are these new skills that people have developed.There are these new petencies (资格) that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimes go wrong.This goes against a mon belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skills.”Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers，passengers and GPS systems work together.1According to Barry Brow，in most cases，_are blame for the problems.Ahuman errorsBGPS errorsCerrors caused by both drivers and GPSDerrors caused by putting in a wrong address2The example of Barry Browns friend is used to show that_.AGPS is nothing but garbageBGPS is still not accurate enoughCit is difficult for drivers to use GPS equipmentDsometimes drivers are responsible for the problem3It can be inferred from the second paragraph that_.Aits impossible to drive from the east to the west in the USBBarry Browns friend went to Stockholm，Sweden by planeCgiven wrong instructions，the GPS will produce wrong resultsDGPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skills4Which of the followings is one of the shortings of GPS equipment?AIt just tells the driver to turn once at a time.BIt gives the driver the overview.CIts screen is too small to be seen clearly.DIt is only suitable for passive drivers.5Whats the main idea of the text?AGPS systems are helpful for drivers.BDriving with GPS can be difficult to navigate (导航)CDrivers should understand how GPS systems work.DDrivers should learn to use GPS systems correctly.语篇解读本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了开车用GPS导航系统也很难导航。1解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“Most often，says Barry Brown，it is a bination of the two.”可知，答案C符合文意。答案：C2解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段倒数第二句“They actually put their home address in.”可知，这次走错方向是由于人的疏忽导致的，不是GPS系统的原因，故答案D正确。答案：D3解析：推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后两句“They actually puy their home address in.

They were looking for guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldnt drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train, and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance pany. Id be a subway guard. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis（艰难危险时期）. Obviously Id be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady ine and travel privileges those being particularly wele to someone living a long way from the city centre.The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have done all right because after about half an hours wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The interviewer sat at a desk. Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.I can remember the questions now: “Why did you leave your last job?” “Why did you leave your job before that?” “And the one before that?” I cant recall my answers, except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground railway. “Youve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position.”Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such jobs being a postman is another one I still desire demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short of full self-understanding. I was also short of cash.1The writer applied for the job chiefly because _.Ahe wanted to work in the centre of London Bhe could no longer afford to live without oneChe was not interested in any other available job Dhe had received some suitable training2The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because _.Ahe often traveled undergroundBhe had written many poemsChe could deal with difficult situations Dhe had worked in a pany3The length of his interview meant that _.Ahe was not going to be offered the job Bhe had not done well in the intelligence testChe did not like the interviewer at all Dhe had little work experience to talk about4What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then?AHow unpleasant ordinary jobs can be. BHow difficult it is to be a poet.CHow unsuitable he was for the job.DHow badly he did in the interview.5Whats the writers opinion of the psychologist?A. He was very aggressive（有进取心的）. B. He was unhappy with his job.C. He was quite inefficient. D. He was rather unsympathetic.【参考答案】15、BCACD 【由xx界广东省惠州4月模拟改编】 完形填空。阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从ll5各题所給的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，It happened to a very young pastor (牧师).His church was very old and whats worse, a storm knocked a hole in the wall of the church.One day the pastor1_ an auction(拍卖）and bid a beautiful tablecloth for six dollars.
