Following the old saying of “early to bed and early to rise”, I used to go to bed at 10 p.m. and get up early at 6
a.m. to get ready for school. But on that day, as it was cloudy, I continued to sleep for long.
Suddenly, I heard a loud voice which startled me up and made me sit upright. It was my mother’s voice who
was knocking and shouting simultaneously, “Get up honey, it’s 6:45 a.m. already!” As it was a cloudy day, I hadn’t
realized that it was almost 7 and continued dozing for long!
But thankfully our pick-up person got late due to the showers and arrived just in the nick of time when I was
ready. However, by the time we reached school it was a quarter to eight and the rain from previous night had finally
stopped. I entered the classroom fearing the teacher’s anger, but saw only a few students had made it to school.
Hence, the principal declared a holiday.
“Hurray!” We all cheered in a chorus at the unexpected holiday and decided to walk back home.
With shoes in our hands, we paraded on the muddy streets. We were excited and our hearts were filled with joy
at the sight of the green and fresh leaves on the trees; the croaking frogs drew our attention as we tried to catch
butterflies.
We finally reached home busily playing and laughing with mud-spattered uniforms and shoes. We hurriedly
changed our clothes, washed up and sat watching TV with a bowl of piping hot soup!
No doubt, I thoroughly enjoyed this day and secretly prayed for many such days in the future! To this day when
it pours, the memories of that eventful rainy day bring a smile on my face!

Global Positioning Systems (全球定位系统) are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These
学科网（北京）股份有限公司satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. However, they
can also cause a lot of problems, sending you to the wrong place or leaving you completely lost. Many times, the
driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS mistake 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. He told about an incident involving a
friend who had flown to the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS equipped car to use during his stay.
Mr. Brown says,“They just plugged (插) 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 actually put in their home address on the West
Coast. So again, the GPS is kind of‘garbage in garbage out’.”
Mr. Brown says this is a common human error, but what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the
shortcomings 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. Sometimes that means it is not really giving you the overview that you
would need to know, and it’s going to the wrong place.”
Barry Brown has written a paper based on his research. The paper lists several areas where GPS systems can
cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand.
To make GPS systems better, says the paper, we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and
GPS systems work together.
21. According to Barry Brown, in most cases, ________ are blamed for the problems.
A. human errors
B. GPS errors
C. errors caused by both drivers and GPS
D. errors caused by putting in a wrong address
22. What does the underlined phrase “garbage in garbage out” most probably imply in the third paragraph?
A. Rubbish in rubbish out.
B. GPS is just as smart as human beings.
C. The GPS system is useless.
D. GPS will not correct human errors.
23. What is one of the GPS’s shortcomings according to Mr. Brown?
A. It provides turn to turn for the driver.
B. The screen is too small to be seen clearly.
C. It has the latest maps in the device.
D. It doesn’t give the driver the overview.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司24. What can be inferred from the whole passage?
A. A GPS system is not always reliable.
B. Maps nowadays are not correctly printed.
C. A larger screen is needed in a car.
D. A GPS system tells you where to turn.
25. What is mainly talked about in the passage?
A. GPS system is very important for drivers.
B. GPS system is useless in guiding our drive.
C. GPS system has weakness.
D. How GPS system works to help drivers find their way.
【21~25题答案】
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. D 24. A 25. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了在GPS广泛应用的今天，GPS仍然有一些问题需要改进。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS mistake is responsible. Most often, says
Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.”可知很多时候，司机是罪魁祸首。 有时GPS的错误也要负责任。
巴里•布朗表示，大多数情况下，两者都有责任。故选C。
【22题详解】
词义推断题。根据“They just plugged (插) 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 actually put in their home address on the West
Coast.”可知他们只需输入一个地址，然后出发去目的地。 直到他们开了三十分钟才意识到他们填写的是他
们在西海岸的家庭地址。因此GPS这种是无效输入输出， GPS不会更正人的错误。故选D。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据“One problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you
the next turn. Sometimes that means it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know, and it’s
going to the wrong place.”可知GPS屏幕很小，因此不会对地点有个概况，所以总去错地方。故选D。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据“However, they can also cause a lot of problems, sending you to the wrong place or leaving you
completely lost. ”和全文可知GPS并不是完全可靠的。故选A。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“However, they can also cause a lot of problems, sending you to the wrong place or leaving you
学科网（北京）股份有限公司completely lost.”可知GPS在今天仍然有些问题。故选C。

请阅读全文，并从文后六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。
Chinese New Year is right around the corner! This is the time of year when we “sweep away the dust”.
____26____ We do this in order to make a clean, fresh start in the new year.
Another great way to start fresh is to get rid of all the clutter (杂物). Over a year ago, I did just that. In
preparation for a move, I gave away around 75 percent of my clothes. ____27____ At first, I was afraid I would
miss those things. However, I soon realized what a burden on my life that excess (过量) had become. I found that
caring for fewer things means more time to spend with friends and family.
These days it seems that many people are trying to live with less. They’re discovering the joy of spending their
time and resources on the things that matter most.
The benefits of living simply are as follows:
More free time
____28____ Keep only the items you need, use or enjoy. You’ll be surprised at how much time you’ll have to
do what you actually want to do.
More money
As you stop buying things you don’t need, your finances will improve. You can save the extra money and take
a special trip or an interesting class instead. ____29____
Changed values
Once you break the habit of collecting things, your values shift. You come to realize that things don’t bring
lasting happiness. True joy comes from making memories with loved ones.
Living simply lowers your stress level, improves your health and allows you to focus on what’s important. The
good news is you don’t have to wait for a holiday to start living simply. ____30____
A. Start living with less today, and discover the peace and happiness this lifestyle can bring.
B. Learn to reward yourself with rich experiences, not things.
C. For each item, decide which box it belongs to.
D. We give our homes a good, thorough cleaning.
E. The more things you own, the more time you’ll spend organizing them.
F. I then got rid of over 60 percent of my furnishings.
