and attractions including roller coasters,dodgems and rides suitable for younger children.”可知,想體驗過山車的游客可以去Chessington World of Adventures。22.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第一句“Take a scary but humorous 90-minute journey through 1,000 years of Londons history at the ever-popular London Dungeon.”可推斷出,學歷史的學生最有可能對London Dungeon感興趣。23.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第一句“Take a trip to one of Londons theme parks for an adrenaline-packed day out.”以及下文的具體內(nèi)容可知,本文主要介紹了倫敦的幾個主題公園;由此可推斷出,本文可能出現(xiàn)在旅游指南上。BOn Christmas Day,2003,a woman named Nancy Sue Brown took her daughter and grandchildren to see a movie at an AMC theater.When the movie was over,the crowd made for the exits.A theater employee had just finished mopping the hallway and dutifully placed the “wet floor” sign in the slippery area.No one slipped due to the wet conditions,but someone did manage to knock over the sign.And by the time Ms.Brown got to the area,the sign was lying on the floor.And shortly thereafter,so was she.Her foot got caught in the sign,in a bad way,and she fell.Unfortunately Ms.Brown had undergone a back operation,and the fall caused more damage than it otherwise would have.So she and her husband sued(提起訴訟).AMC argued that the entire point of the “wet floor” sign above was to warn of danger,and therefore,courts should encourage the use by not allowing Browns case to proceed(繼續(xù)進行).AMC referred to a case about a December,1998 incident,where a “wet floor” sign,not in use,fell to the floor causing another trip-and-fall.In that case,Georgias Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the store,but didnt go so far as to say that “wet floor” signs couldnt give rise to legal liability(責任) in trip-and-fall accidents.In the Brown case,the Supreme Court therefore rejected AMCs argument that the former case applied.But the Browns argued something surprising that the “wet floor” sign was,itself,dangerous,because “using this type of sign in areas passed by lots of customers creates an unreasonable risk of foreseeable harm to the public in the form of tripping hazards(危險).” Thats rightthe safety sign,used in the way it was designed,was itself dangerous.The court thankfully didnt accept that argument,at least not entirely.But it did conclude that Browns case could continue to a jury(陪審團)“a merchants selection and use of equipment designed to warn customers of one danger that has the potential to expose them to a different one”.24.According to the text,Ms.Brown .A.slipped on the wet floorB.tripped over a warning signC.knocked over a warning signD.was knocked down by the crowd25.AMC mentioned the 1998 case in order to .A.accept its legal liability for Ms.Browns lossB.prove Ms.Brown had some physical problemsC.stress that it had no legal liability for the accidentD.prove other customers were responsible for the accident26.What can we learn about the Browns case from the last paragraph?A.It would be judged by a jury.B.It would not be allowed to proceed.C.The court would rule in favor of AMC.D.The court accepted all the arguments of the Browns.27.The underlined word “one” in the last paragraph refers to “”.A.dangerB.customerC.business ownerD.equipment in public places語篇解讀:本文是一篇夾敘夾議文,主要介紹了布朗夫人在美國一家AMC影院看完電影離開時,被“小心地滑”的指示牌絆倒受傷后,向法院提起訴訟以及法院的審判結(jié)果。答案及剖析:24.B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的“.Ms.Brown got to the area,the sign was lying on the floor.And shortly thereafter,so was she.Her foot got caught in the sign,in a bad way,and she fell.”可知,布朗夫人被“小心地滑”的指示牌絆倒了。B項中的tripped over意為“被絆倒”,與文章表述相符,故選B項。C項中的knocked over意為“打翻,撞倒”,不符合文意。25.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段第一句“AMC argued that.encourage the use by not allowingBrowns case to proceed(繼續(xù)進行).”可知,AMC影院認為布朗夫人的控訴不成立,法院應(yīng)該鼓勵使用這樣的警示牌,接著第二句AMC影院舉出1998年的案例來支持自己的觀點。由此可推測,AMC影院提到這一案例是為了強調(diào)自己不應(yīng)該承擔本次事故的責任。26.A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中的“But it did conclude that Browns case could continue to a jury.”可知,法院提請陪審團來審理此案。27.A猜測詞義題。根據(jù)文章最后一段最后一句可知,一個商人選擇和使用某一種設(shè)備來警示顧客某種危險,而這種設(shè)備本身就可能將顧客置于另一種危險中。由此可猜測,one指代上文中的danger。CMany of us have reached in our pockets,feeling a vibration(振動),wrongly believing our mobile phones have just rung.The phenomenon even has a name:“phantom vibration syndrome”and found it is surprisingly common.Now scientists believe that we are so alert(警覺的) for phone calls and messages we are misinterpreting slight muscle spasms(痙攣) as proof of a call.Robert Rosenberger,an assistant professor at the Georgia Tech Institute of Technology has studied the delusional calls.He said sufferers describe a vague tingling feeling which they think is their mobile phone indicating it has received a text message or call while on “silent”.But when the device is retrieved,there was no one on the other end.Dr.Rosenberger said,“I find so many people say,This happens to me,but I thought I was the only one.I thought I was odd.”It seems that the syndrome particularly affects people at the beck and call of mobile phones or pagers.A 2010 study by Michael Rothberg and colleagues found that nearly 70 per cent of doctors at a hospital in Massachusetts suffered phantom vibrations.A more recent study of US college students found the figure was as high as 90 per cent.While the odd feeling is widespread,it does not seem to be considered a grave problem.Dr.Rosenberger said,“Its not actually a syndrome in a technical sense.Thats just the name thats got stuck to it.”He added,“Only 2 per cent of people consider it a problem.”While widespread,the scientific community has not yet invested much effort in getting to the bottom of why we suffer phantom calls.Dr.Rosenberger said,“People are guessing it has something to do with nervous energy.The cognitive(認知的) scientists are talking about brain chemistry,cognitive pathways changing.But its not like they have brain scans to go on.”He said,“We have a phone call in our pocket all the time and it becomes sort of an extension of ourselves.We have this sort of readiness to experience a call.We feel something and we think,OK,that could be a call.”28.Why do some people mistake slight muscle spasms for a call?A.They all have a vivid imagination.B.They are sensitive to calls and messages.C.There are few calls and messages in their life.D.Slight muscle spasms affect them more than other people.29.Which of the following are more likely to have phantom vibration syndrome than others?A.Doctors.B.University professors.C.College students.D.The cognitive scientists.30.In Dr.Rosenbergers opinion,phantom vibration syndrome .A.isnt a kind of disease actuallyB.is considered a problem by most peopleC.is a serious problem ignored by peopleD.has something to do with brain chemistry31.What does the text mainly talk about?A.Most people have phantom vibration syndrome.B.How to keep away from phantom vibration syndrome.C.How to reduce phantom phone vibrations.D.People care too much about phantom phone vibrations.語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文,主要介紹了一種非常普遍的病癥振動幻聽綜合征。答案及剖析:28.B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句Now scientists believe that we are so alert(警覺的) for phone calls and messages we are misinterpreting slight muscle spasms(痙攣) as proof of a call.可知,產(chǎn)生這種誤解的原因是這些人對電話和信息比較敏感。29.C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句A more recent study of US college students found the figure was as high as 90 per cent.可知,90%的大學生有可能患有振動幻聽綜合征。30.A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的Its not actually a syndrome in a technical sense.Thats just the name thats got stuck to it.可知,Rosenberger博士認為振動幻聽綜合征并不是一種病。31.A主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,文章主要講述了大多數(shù)人都患有振動幻聽綜合征。DA new keyboard can tell whether you are its owner.The keyboard records information about the typing pattern and sends it
