Therelationshipbetweenhumansandtechnology.【答案】（1）D（2）C（3）B（4）A（5）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，作者講述了一起交通事故，司機(jī)沒(méi)有看到火車路口導(dǎo)致了一起事故，司機(jī)卻將責(zé)任歸咎到自己的導(dǎo)航儀沒(méi)有路口提示上。引發(fā)作者對(duì)于人與科技的關(guān)系上的深思。（1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的"Ceely'snearmissmadethenewsbecausesheblameditonheGPS(導(dǎo)航儀)."可知Ceely認(rèn)為事故發(fā)生的原因是GPS沒(méi)有指出那個(gè)路口。故選D。（2）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第一段可知Ceely的車被卡在鐵路上并且被火車撞飛了，而她自己則死里逃生，文章用"nearmiss"來(lái)形容這個(gè)事故，由此可推斷narrowescape最符合文意，即Ceely很驚險(xiǎn)地逃生了，故選C。（3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的"Weputourfaithindigitaldevices,hesays,butourdigitalhelpersaretoooftennotuptothejob."可知Stevenson認(rèn)為是科技設(shè)備應(yīng)該被指責(zé)，即它們不能滿足人們的需要，故選B。（4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的"Theproblemwithhisargumentinthebookisthatit'snotclearwhyheonlyfocusesondigitaltechnology,whiletheremaybeanumberofotherpossiblecauses."可知作者認(rèn)為Stevenson只關(guān)注到了片面的，故選A。（5
