Question

1．In Los Angeles，drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic．These drivers know all too well how bad the traffic can be．"There're too many cars，and you can't move around a lot．"
Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams．He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California，in Los Angeles．He is always late even with the help of a navigation （導航） system．
He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that．He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house．"What's unique is that we use a lot of data that's currently become available including traffic data，weather data，and we analyze that so that we can predict what's going to happen in front of you when you leave home．"
Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions．With ClearPath，he says，a driver can decide what time he wants to leave，and ClearPath will give the fastest route．It looks at the entire road network，including surface streets as well as highways，before the driver hits the road．Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities．
"I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic，but now I know that Shanghai，Beijing，Seoul，Tokyo，believe it or not，Singapore，Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this．"
Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems，such as Google and Apple．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述了現(xiàn)在的司機出門喜歡用導航提前知道前方道路的路況，而導航也有它的弊端，因此謝哈比教授決定開發(fā)一個項目，能預測在我們離開家的時候會發(fā)生什么，他對他項目的前景保持樂觀．

解答 32．D   寫作意圖題．由第一段In Los Angeles，drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic．可知洛杉磯的司機被提到是通過舉例來引起下文，提出主題．故選D．
33．D   細節(jié)理解題．由第三段What's unique is that we use a lot of data that's currently become available including traffic data，weather data，and we analyze that so that we can predict what's going to happen in front of you when you leave home．"可知它的獨特之處是能幫助司機提前知道路上的情況，故選D．
34．B   詞義猜測題．由It looks at the entire road network，including surface streets as well as highways，before the driver hits the road．可知在司機出發(fā)之前，這個系統(tǒng)會對路況進行分析．故選B．
35．C   觀點態(tài)度題．由文章最后一段Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems，such as Google and Apple．可知Professor Shahabi希望自己的發(fā)明能夠得到進一步推廣，因此對前景很樂觀．故選C．

點評 本文考察日常生活類閱讀，要把握好人物的活動內(nèi)容，時間和地點，根據(jù)題目中關(guān)鍵詞尋找文中答案，查找文中細節(jié)后作出合理推斷．
