Instead of striking out boldly（大胆地） on their own, most of them are clutching at (紧握) one anothers hands for reassurance.They claim that they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the
11、same clothes. They set off in new directions in musil. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon into a lager cocoon.It has become harder and harde

18、C 【2012辽宁省模拟】BTo whom it may concern,This letter describes the worst travel experience I have ever had. The problems we has were the result of poor management and thoughtless employees. Your airline should be ashamed of treating its customers so poorly.On January 5, we arrived in Denver from Houston
19、 and checked in for our next flight. It wasnt long before the agent announced that our flight would be delayed because of a mechanical problem. The equipment was in Aspen, and they expected it to be repaired soon. Soon shortly turned to much later, and during the delay, weather temporarily closed th
20、e Aspen airport. The weather cleared in Aspen and the plane took off very late for Denver. While it was in the air, the agent announced that the plane would be used for the next flight and that our flight was being cancelled. This cancellation struck me as being unfair. There was a mad scramble(争先恐后
21、) as the 50 or so passengers scheduled for our flight fought for seats on later flights. When the dust settled, we were wait-listed on the 9:00 flight the next morning. We had to spend the night in the airport. Coming home was no better. Because of a mechanical problem, it looked like we would miss
22、our connection in Denver. The agent assured us they would hold the Newark flight for us. Needless to say, the flight to Houston taxied out as we pulled into the gate. Arrangements were made for us to take the next flight, so we sat in the airport for 5 hours. When we finally arrived in Houston, our
23、skis were missing. As of this writing, the skis have not been found. Nothing you can do will make us feel better about our flights.

A student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path
26、. Thats when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio parked across a railway line. Second later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks. Ceelys near miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device(导航仪).She had never d
27、riven 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. W ho is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceelys story
28、in his book When Machines Fail US, 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.

29、lving everything from mobile phones to wireless key boards.

A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ce

Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the CPS equipment. But Stevenson doesnt say.Its a problem that runs through the bo
31、ok. 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 once again not all new
32、locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe its 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 complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we liv
33、e in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be way 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

39、 Hollywood had struggled with new technology. Although sound was added to movies in the late 1920s, it took audiences time to get used to the new technology. But in the end, sound and colour became the standard. James Cameron, director of Avatar, thinks were going through the same process with 3D.So
40、me say cinemas are charging too much for 3D movies. In the US, seeing a 3D movie can cost up to $7.5 more than seeing it in 2D.Also, a recent study at California State University finds audiences dont actually enjoy movies in 3D any more than in 2D.Walter Murch, a famous movie editor, wrote in 2011 t
41、hat human beings have no ability to process 3D images. Watching a 3D movie confuses our brain and this is why some people get headaches.But James Cameron disagrees. In fact, he recently predicted that in five years all movies will be in 3D.And there are signs that 3D is fighting back. More 3D movies
42、 were put on the market in 2012 than ever before. The Lion King 3D recently made over US $150 million at the box office, and Camerons Titanic 3D made even more.Who knows what the future holds for 3D?

46、断题。根据第二段的“that wasnt the first time Hollywood had struggled with new technology.”可知，作者用有声电影和彩色电影如何发展成为行业标准的例子来说明3D电影技术目前遭遇的尴尬境遇，指出其要被大众接受还需要时间。故选B项。3D细节理解题。根据第三段“that human beings have no ability to process 3D images. Watching a 3D movie confuses our brain and this is why some people get headaches.”可以判断出，在Walter Murch看来，3D影像画面不适合人们观看。故选D项。4B推理判断题。3D技术自从20世纪初出现以来，一直处于尴尬的境地。多年来，人们一直讨论3D电影技术的发展前景。文章首句是解题关键。故选B项。
