Clothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pal’s number, keep you warm during cold weather and operate your computer?

This is not a fantasy. A British company, called Electrotextiles, has created a wide range of clothes—clothes that have minds of their own! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a kind of fabric that can be blended(混合) with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The result are electronic garments.

If you think the wearer has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designer clothes are wire-free, soft to touch and washable! Like any electronic device, these high-tech clothes have to be powered. Currently, a tiny nine-volt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100 percent shock proof, they say.

The Electrotextiles team has also created the world’s first cloth keyboard. This keyboard can be sewn into your trousers or skirt. To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap! These ‘lap-tap’ gadgets(器具) are all set to take over laptop computers!

Another useful garment is the shirt-cum-mobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel! Other popular electronic wear include the denim(牛仔布) jacket with flexible earphones sewn into the hood(風(fēng)帽) and the electronic ski jacket with a built-in heater. The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.

Having completed the cloth keyboard, scientists have already started to work on a new project—a necktie that can be used as a computer mouse. What is the next? Do you have any idea?

1.The electronic garments are similar to other electronic devices in that _________.

A. they feel smooth and soft              B. they use electricity as power

C. they can be washed in water                  D. they are made from flexible materials

2.How will researchers improve these high-tech clothes?

A. Body heat will be used as power.               B. The wearer will not get shocked.

C. A tiny nine-volt battery will work.     D. They will get charged automatically.

3.What does the underlined phrase “This handy invention” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A. The laptop computer.                         B. The electronic ski jacket.

C. The shirt-cure-mobile phone.                  D. The world’s first cloth keyboard.

4.If you are going on a ski adventure, which device do you need?

A. The cloth keyboard.                  B. The electronic ski jacket.

C. The necktie to be used as a mouse.            D. The denim jacket with earphones.

5.The main purpose of the text is _________.

A. to advertise for an English company            B. to predict the future trend of science

C. to show how rapidly science develops          D. to introduce some intelligent clothing

 

【答案】

 

1.B

2.A

3.C

4.B

5.D

【解析】

試題分析:文章大意是介紹一些高科技的布料、衣服等等,這些新發(fā)明有各種各樣的功能,比如打電話、聽歌。

1. B細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第三段第三句話Like any electronic device, these high-tech clothes have to be powered.像其它電子產(chǎn)品一樣,這種高科技的衣服也必須用電來作為動(dòng)力。

2.A細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第三段倒數(shù)第二句話But the researchers hope that in the near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat.說明A正確。

3. C推理判斷題。前句Another useful garment is the shirt-cure-mobile phone.后句This handy invention enables drivers to chat...很明顯指代前文的the shirt-cure-mobile phone。

4.B細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后兩句話The ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.可得出答案。

5.D主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文我們知道作者就是向我們介紹幾種智能的衣服、布料等。
