Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
We can express thoughts and feelings and send sounds and pictures on our smart phones today. We also communicate by using programs like Skype and Face Time. We can't send tastes, smells or touch, of course. But scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for smart phones to do just that.
Adrian David Cheok is a professor at City University in London. He wants people to experience communication using all of their senses. He said "In the real world, we can open up the glass, open the window. We can touch, we can taste, we can smell in the real world."
To give users a sense of taste, researchers designed two electrodes (電極）that are placed on the tongue. A chemical process creates different tastes through molecules (微粒)on the surface of the tongue. This chemical process sends electrical signals that convince the brain that a person is tasting something. They have already created sour, salty, sweet and bitter tastes.
"You put these two silver electrodes in your mouth, you put your tongue in between and then it stimulates electrically your tongue and you get a virtual taste perception in your brain."
A device(設(shè)備）called "Scentee" permits users to have the sense of smell. Scentee plugs into a smart phone and can spray tiny clouds of fragrances, including flowers, fruits and coffee. Professor Cheok says the person speaking can activate the device.
Scentee holds a container with about 100 different smells. The container must be replaced when all the scents（pleasant smells) run out.

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）D
（2）B
（3）B
【解析】我們可以用智能手機(jī)發(fā)送想法、感情和聲音，但是卻不能發(fā)送味道、氣味和觸覺�，F(xiàn)在英國的科學(xué)家們正在研制這樣的新型智能手機(jī)。

（1）推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第一段中We can't send tastes, smells or touch, of course. But scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for smart phones to do just that.可知，我們不能用智能手機(jī)發(fā)送味道、氣味或觸摸，但是英國的科學(xué)家們正在努力研制一種智能手機(jī)可以做到這個。由此可見，這篇短文介紹的是科學(xué)研究，故應(yīng)選D。

（2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段中To give users a sense of taste, researchers designed two electrodes (電極）that are placed on the tongue. A chemical process creates different tastes through molecules (微粒)on the surface of the tongue. This chemical process sends electrical signals that convince the brain that a person is tasting something可知，首先是在舌頭上放兩個電極；然后通過微粒在舌頭的表面形成不同的味道，這種化學(xué)過程會發(fā)送電信號，讓大腦相信一個人正在品嘗東西。由此可知B選項(xiàng)是正確的。

（3）推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文的第一段We can't send tastes, smells or touch, of course. But scientists in Britain are trying to develop a way for smart phones to do just that.我們就知道了文章的大意，給我們講述英國的科學(xué)家研制一種能發(fā)送味道、氣味或觸覺的智能手機(jī)。上面的短文中介紹了taste和smell，因此接下來應(yīng)介紹的是touch。故選B。
