1．A
When milk arrived on the doorstep
When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s，we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep．His name was Mr．Basille．He wore a white cap and drove a white truck．As a 5-year-old boy，I couldn't take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt．He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer．
Of course，he delivered more than milk．There was cheese，eggs and so on．If we needed to change our order，my mother would pen a note-"Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery"-and place it in the box along with the empty bottles．And then，the buttermilk would magically appear．
All of this was about more than convenience．There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen．Mr．Basille even had a key to out house，for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors，so that the milk wouldn't freeze．And I remember Mr．Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table，having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery．
There is sadly no home milk delivery today．Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk，thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete．Besides，milk is for sale everywhere，and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service．
Recently，an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories．I took it home and planted it on the back porch （门廊）．Every so often my son's friends will ask what it is．So I start telling stories of my boyhood，and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk．
56．Mr Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changerC．
A．to show his magical power．B．to pay for the delivery．
C．to satisfy his curiosity．D．to please his mother．
57．What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy's house？D
A．He wanted to have tea there．B．He was a respectable person．
C．He was treated as a family member．D．He was fully trusted by the family．
58．Why does home milk delivery no longer exist？B
A．Nobody wants to be a milkman now．B．It has been driven out of the market．
C．Its service is getting poor．D．It is forbidden by law．
59．Why did the author bring back home an old milk box？A
A．He missed the good old days．B．He wanted to tell interesting stories．
C．He needed it for his milk bottles．D．He planted flowers in it．

8．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．

41．What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident？D
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．
42．The phrase"near miss"（Paragraph 2）can best be replaced byC．
A．close hit B．heavy loss C．narrow escape D．big mistake
43．Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with？B
A．Modern technology is what we can't live without．
B．Digital technology often falls short of our expectation．
C．Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be．
D．GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely's accident．
44．In the writer's opinion，Stevenson's argument isA．
A．one-sided B．reasonable C．puzzling D．well-based
45．What is the real concern of the writer of this article？B
A．The major causes of traffic accidents and car thefts．
B．The relationship between human and technology．
C．The shortcomings of digital devices we use．
D．The human unawareness of technical problems．
