Navigation computers, now sold by most car-makers, cost $2,000 and up. No surprise, then, that they are most often found in luxury cars, like Lexus, BMW and Audi. But it is a developing technology—meaning prices should eventually drop—and the market does seem to be growing.

Even at current prices, a navigation computer is impressive. It can guide you from point to point in most major cities with precise turn-by-turn directions—spoken by a clear human-sounding voice, and written on a screen in front of the driver.

The computer works with an antenna(天線) that takes signals from no fewer than three of the 24 global positioning system(GPS) satellites. By measuring the time required for a signal to travel between the satellites and the antenna, the car’s location can be noted down within 100 meters.

The satellite signals, along with inputs on speed from a wheel-speed sensor and direction from a meter, determine the car’s position even as it moves. This information is combined with a map database. Streets, landmarks and points of interest are included.

Most systems are basically identical. The differences come in hardware—the way the computer accepts the driver’s request for directions and the way it presents the driving instructions. On most systems, a driver enters a desired address, motorway junction or point of interest via a touch screen or disc. But the Lexus screen goes a step further: you can point to any spot on the map screen and get directions to it.

BMW’s system offers a set of cross hairs(瞄準(zhǔn)器上的十字紋) that can be moved across the map (you have several choices of map scale) to pick a point you’d like to get to. Audi’s screen can be switched to TV reception.

Even the voices that recite the directions can differ, with better systems like BMW’s and Lexus’s having a wider vocabulary. The instructions are available in French, German, Spanish, Dutch and Italian, as well as English. The driver can also choose parameters for determining the route: fastest, shortest or no freeways (高速公路), for example.

46. We learn from the passage that navigation computers______ .

A. will greatly promote sales of automobiles

B. may help solve potential traffic problems

C. are likely to be accepted by more drivers

D. will soon be viewed as a symbol of luxury

47. With a navigation computer, a driver will easily find the best route to his destination_______ .

    A. by inputting the exact address

B. by indicating the location of his car

C. by checking his computer database

D. by giving vocal orders to the computer

48. Despite their varied designs, navigation computers used in cars______.

A. are more or less the same price

B. provide directions in much the same way

C. work on more or less the same principles

D. receive instructions from the same satellites

49. The navigation computer functions _______.

A. by means of a direction finder and a speed detector

B. basically on satellite signals and a map database

??   C. mainly through the reception of turn-by-turn directions

    D. by using a screen to display satellite signals

50. The navigation systems in cars like Lexus, BMW and Audi are mentioned to show______ .

A. the immaturity of the new technology

B. the superiority of the global positioning system

C. the cause of price change in car equipment

D. the different ways of providing guidance to the driver

Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.

We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “And they just plugged 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 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'.”

Mister Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “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 it’s going to the wrong place.”

Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.

Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.

1.In Paragraph 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to _____________.

A．build up his own reputation

B．laugh at his stupid friend

C．prove the GPS system is only garbage

D．describe an example of human error

2.With which of the following statement would Barry Brown most likely agree?

A．GPS units are to blame for the most GPS service failures.

B．We should introduce higher standard for the driving license.

C．Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.

D．Drivers, GPS systems and passengers should unite to improve GPS systems.

3.What is Mr. Brown’s attitude towards GPS?

A．Unconcerned      B．Prejudiced         C．Objective         D．Critical

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A．driving with GPS can be difficult

B．driving confusions can be caused by small screen

C．driving without GPS should be much more convenient

D．GPS equipment in driving: to be deserted or improved?
