第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分 40 分）
第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
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.
21.What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident？
A. She was not familiar with the road.
B. It was dark and raining heavily then.
C. The railway workers failed to give the signal.
D. Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing.
22.The phrase “near miss” (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by______.
A. close hit B. narrow escape C. heavy loss D. big mistake
23. Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with
A. Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.
B. Modern technology is what we can’t live without.
C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.
D. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident.
24. In the writer’s opinion, Stevenson’s argument is _______.
A. absurd B. reasonable C. one-sided D. well-based
25. What is the real concern of the writer of this article
A. The relationship between human and technology.
B. The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts.
C. The shortcomings of digital devices we use.
D. The human unawareness of technical problems.
B
In the more and more competitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction. Today, customer “delight” is what companies are trying to achieve in order to keep and increase market share.
It is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a number of researchers, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people; those treated badly tell tales of woe to up to 20 people. Interestingly, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal.
New challenges for customer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Internet. For example, many companies now have to invest (投资) a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage” — caused by delays in answering calls, being cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.
“Many people do not like talking to machines,” says Dr, Storey, Senior Lecturer in Marketing at City University Business School. “Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with then. The aim is to make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust them — the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager.”
Recommended ways of creating customer delight include: under-promising and over-delivering; replacing a faulty product immediately; throwing in a gift voucher (购物礼券) as an unexpected “thank you” to regular customers; and always returning calls, even when they are complaints.
Aiming for customer delight is all very well, but if services do not reach the high level promised, disappointment or worse will be the result. This can be eased by offering an apology and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example, “I know how you must feel”), and possible solutions (replacement, compensation or whatever fairness suggests best meets the case).
Airlines face some of the toughest challenges over customer care. Fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems.
For British Airways staff, a winning telephone style is considered vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times. They are trained to answer quickly, with their name, job title and a “we are here to help” attitude. The company has invested heavily in information technology to make sure that information is available instantly on screen.
British Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service.
Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as “we do as we please”. On the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of disappointment.
26. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _______.
A. well-treated customers promote business
B. unsatisfied customers receive better service
C .satisfied customers catch more attention
D. complaining customers are hard to satisfy

C. people still prefer to buy goods online
D. customers rely on their phones to obtain services
28. What does the writer recommend to create customer delight
A. Calling customers regular. B. Giving a “thank you” note.
C. Delivering a quicker service. D. Promising more gifts.
29. If a manager should show his empathy (Paragraph 6), what would be probably say
A. “I appreciate your understanding.” B. “I know how upset you must be.”
C. “I’m sorry for the delay.” D. “I know it’s our fault.”
30. Customer delight is important for airlines because ________.
A. their telephone style remains unchanged
B. they are more likely to meet with complaints
C. the services cost them a lot of money
D. the policies can be applied to their staff

D. Customer delight is more important for air lines than for banks.
C
It was Saturday. As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and do all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning.
Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string (线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today.
My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s take string to the boys and watch them fly the kites a minute.”
On the way we met Mrs. Patric, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.
There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.
Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly.
It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the houses. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn’t mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.”
The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park, see duck.”
“I can’t go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m through I’ll be too tired to walk that far.”
My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling. “It’s a wonderful day,” she offered, “really warm, yet there’s a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites ”
I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on,” I told my little girl. “You’re right, it’s too good a day to miss.”
Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath (余波) of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of — what dark and horrible things
“Say!” A smile sipped out from his lips. “Do you remember — no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me.”
I hardly dared speak. “Remember what ”
“I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp (战俘营), when things weren’t too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites ”
32. Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought________.
A. she was too old to fly kites
B. her husband would make fun of her
C. her girls weren’t supposed to play the boys’ game
D. she should have been doing her housework then
33. By “we were all beside ourselves”, writer means that they all ________.
A. felt confused B. went wild with joy C. looked on D. forgot their fights
34. What did the think after the kite-flying
A. The boys must have had more fun than the girls.
B. They should have finished their work before playing.
C. Her parents should spend more time with them.
D. All the others must have forgotten that day.
35. Why did the writer finally agree to take her little girl for an outing
A. She was reminded of the day they flew kites.
B. She suddenly remembered her duty as a mother.
C. She had finished her work in the kitchen.
D. She thought it was a great day to play outside.
36. The youngest Patrick boy is mentioned to show that ______.
A. the writer was not alone in treasuring her fond memories
B. his experience in POW camp threw a shadow over his life
C. childhood friendship means so much to the writer
D. people like him really changed a lot after the war
D
Social networking websites are causing alarming changes in the brains of young users, a famous scientist has warned. Sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Bebo are said to shorten attention spans (幅度), encourage instant satisfaction and make children more self-centered.
Warnings from neuroscientist (神经系统科学家) Susan Greenfield will disturb the millions whose social lives depend on surfing their favorite websites each day. But they will strike a chord (弦) with parents and teachers who complain that many teenagers lack the ability to communicate or concentrate away from their screens.
More than 150 million use Facebook to keep in touch with friends, share photographs and videos and post regular updates of their movements and thoughts. A further six million have signed up to Twitter, the “micro-blogging” service that lets users exchange text messages about themselves. But while the sites are popular and extremely profitable, a growing number of psychologists and neuroscientists believe they may be doing more harm than good.
Baroness Tarot, an Oxford University neuroscientist believes repeated exposure could rewire the brain. Computer games and fast-paced TV shows were also a factor, she said. “My fear is that these technologies are weakening the brain to the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and live for the moment.” “I often wonder whether real conversation in real time may eventually give way to these easier and faster screen dialogues, in much the same way as killing and butchering an animal to eat has been replaced by the convenience of packages on the supermarket shelf,” she said.
Psychologists have also argued that digital technology is changing the way we think. They point out that students no longer need to plan their term papers before starting to write—thanks to word processors they can edit as they go along.
A study by the Broadcaster Audience Board found teenagers now spend seven and a half hours a day in front of a screen. Educational psychologist Jane Healy believes children should be kept away from computer games until they are seven. Most games only excite the “flight or fight” areas of the brain, rather than the areas responsible reasoning.
Sue Palmer, author of Toxic Childhood, said: “We are seeing children’s brain development damaged because they don’t engage in the activity they have engaged in for thousands of years. I’m not against technology and computers. But before they start social networking, they need to learn to make real relationships with people.”
37. According to the passage, social networking websites might ________.
A. encourage young users constant satisfaction
B. lengthen young users’ attention span
C. make young users more selfish
D. help young users communicate better with their families
38. A neuroscientist may worry that sites like Facebook may ________.
A. help children learn to make real relationships with people in society
B. encourage students not to plan their term papers before starting to write
C. disturb those whose social lives depend on surfing their favorite websites
D. make real conversation in real time give way to easier and faster screen dialogue
39. From the passage we can infer that ________.
A. Baroness Tarot agrees websites cause small children’s small attention span
B. Jane Healy believes computer games can do good to children’s reasoning
C. Susan Greenfield’s warnings will be brought to wide public attention
D. Sue Palmer’s book Toxic Childhood discusses the development of networking
40. What is the purpose of this passage
A. To tell us the conflict between neuroscientists and psychologists on websites.
B. To present some negative opinions on social networking websites.
C. To offer advice on the problem of brain damage caused by social networking.
D. To analyse how social networking websites cause damage in the brains of teenagers.
