14．Driving with GPS Can Cause Difficulties
Global Positioning System （GPS） is now a part of everyday driving in many countries．It is a space-based system that provides position and time information in all weather conditions．GPS can help people get to where they want to go．（56）D When this happens，the driver is often to blame．Sometimes a GPS error is responsible．Most often，it is a combination of the two．
（57）A Barry Brown，a GPS technologist，took an incident as an example．His friend once flew to an airport in the eastern United States．There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use．He wrongly plugged in the home address in the west．It wasn't until he was driving for thirty minutes that he realized it．Mr．Brown says this is a common human error．But he says，"One problem is that GPS has a very small screen and it can just tell you the next turn．（58）B"
"The Normal and Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS"lists several areas where GPS can cause difficulties．They include maps that are outdated，incorrect or difficult to understand．（59）E GPS may fail due to these reasons and then lead to confusion for the drivers．
Although GPS sometimes causes difficulties when people are driving，the most attractive point of this system is its 100% coverage on the planet．It is important for you to have to know what you are doing when you use GPS．You need to have the"ability"to be able to use GPS because it sometimes goes wrong．（60）G

A．There are quite a few situations showing the problems of using GPS．
B．That means that it is not really telling you about going to the wrong place．
C．This space-based system is an important tool for civil and commercial users．
D．But sometimes it sends you to the wrong place or leaves you completely lost．
E．They also contain timing problems related to when GPS commands are given．
F．Advances in technology play an active role in modernizing GPS in many ways．
G．To make GPS well used，you need a good understanding of how drivers and GPS work．

Answer 1

分析 這是一篇說(shuō)明文．講述了開(kāi)車使用GPS可能導(dǎo)致的問(wèn)題，為了更好地使用GPS，你需要很好地驅(qū)動(dòng)程序以及GPS是如何工作的．

解答 DABEG
56．D   考查事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)．根據(jù)第一段"When this happens，the driver is often to blame．Sometimes a GPS error is responsible．"可知有時(shí)GPRS的錯(cuò)誤也是有責(zé)任的，接下來(lái)應(yīng)該討論GPRS的錯(cuò)誤了，D為正確答案．
57．A  考查事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)．根據(jù)第二段"Barry Brown，a GPS technologist，took an incident as an example．His friend once flew to an airport in the eastern United States．There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use．He wrongly plugged in the home address in the west．It wasn't until he was driving for thirty minutes that he realized it．"可知后文用實(shí)例證明了GPRS錯(cuò)誤導(dǎo)致出現(xiàn)的狀況，A為正確答案．
58．B  考查事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)．根據(jù)第二段"But he says，"One problem is that GPS has a very small screen and it can just tell you the next turn．"可知其中一個(gè)問(wèn)題是GPRS的屏幕很小，它只能告訴你下一個(gè)拐彎處，B為正確答案．
59．E  考查推理判斷．根據(jù)第三段""The Normal and Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS"lists several areas where GPS can cause difficulties．They include maps that are outdated，incorrect or difficult to understand．"可知GPRS出錯(cuò)的地方有：地圖太舊或者不準(zhǔn)確難以弄懂，E為正確答案．
60．G  考查事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)．根據(jù)最后一段"It is important for you to have to know what you are doing when you use GPS．You need to have the"ability"to be able to use GPS because it sometimes goes wrong．"可知對(duì)于你使用GPRS來(lái)說(shuō)，知道如何使用它是非常重要的，G為正確答案．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做七選五題目時(shí)要注意以下規(guī)則：1．放進(jìn)去通順，這一點(diǎn)是基礎(chǔ)．凡不通順的必錯(cuò)無(wú)疑； 2、選項(xiàng)中有單詞、詞組、句子成分或與所選答案所在段內(nèi)容重合；3、選項(xiàng)與其上句或下句之間有必然的邏輯關(guān)系； 4、選項(xiàng)全部?jī)?nèi)容都屬于正確答案所在段．有時(shí)備選答案中可能含有甲乙兩項(xiàng)內(nèi)容，這時(shí)，只有當(dāng)甲和乙都?xì)w屬于本段時(shí)，答案才是正確的．
