Question

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 results 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% 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 “l(fā)ap-­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 use electricity to generate power

B．they feel smooth and soft

C．they can be washed in water

D．they are made from flexible materials

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

A．A tiny nine­-volt battery will work.

B．The wearer will not get shocked.

C． Body heat will be used to generate electricity

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-­cum-­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

【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹了一些有人工智能的高科技的服裝的具體信息。

1.A 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第三段2，3行Like any electronic device, these high-­tech clothes have to be powered.可知他們都需要充電。故A正確。

2.C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第三段最后3行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% shock ­proof, they say.可知現(xiàn)在這種衣服還需要充電，希望未來可以使用體溫來進行充電。故這就是我們未來改善的方面，故C正確。

3.C 細節(jié)題。根據(jù)本段1,2行Another useful garment is the shirt­-cum-­mobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat comfortably with others at the wheel!可知第二句的This handy invention就是指第一句的the shirt­-cum-­mobile phone.故C正確。

4.B 推理題。根據(jù)最后一段4,5行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.可知這種jacket可以提供定位功能，防止失蹤等情況。故B正確。

5.D 主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段和最后一段所介紹的這些高科技的有智能的服裝的情況可知D正確。
